Chapter Hundred-TenSophie Blake had gone out on a date, Evelyn wasn't home, and Alpha Noah had gone for a meeting with other Alphas to discuss how they were going to destroy warlocks, leaving me alone at home with the guards and maids.Genevieve had warned me never to leave the house after the last time Gina and I snuck out, but there was no one around to know if I snuck out, and this was my perfect opportunity to sneak out and go for personal training on how to be stronger.Lena had told me my full potentials would be unleashed after I had completed my mating process with my mate, but I knew training could equally help strengthen me and my wolf.After much deliberation, I decided to sneak out of the palace and down to Gina's and my special spot that was hidden deep in the pack and away from the rest of the world.'Lena.'. I called out, as I breathed in, and prepared to shift.In an instant the steady cracking of my bones echoed loudly as I began to shift into my white wolf, which
Chapter Hundred-Eleven Reece"What's up, buddy?". Ethan mumbled, his usual grin curling on the corners of his lips as he drew the distance between us."It feels so good to have you back; it's been a while since someone last sneaked up on me.". I cracked, as he laughed."But seriously, bro, what's up? You look distant."."I'm cool, bro.". I mumbled, running a hand across my hair."Don't give me that shit. I know you're not cool. Are you worried about the pact"? "Of course I am; I'm fast running out of time, Ethan. I'm left with just 65 more days, and it's utterly frustrating.. I hissed as I inhaled a sharp breath."It's okay, bro; I know a soothsayer we could go to. She's a Lycan and the most powerful soothsayer to ever exist. If you're less busy, we could go there today. I'm sure she would know how you could find this person."."I have already previously visited the cavern soothsayer; she said the person in question was a werewolf and refused to give any other information. I fe
Chapter Hundred-TwelveReece"Fuck.". I groaned as anger stirred in me, and boom, my warlock beast took over as I began landing punches and kicks on the Lycans, my vision a blur. And soon, sharp arrows began piercing deep into my back, as I fell weakly to my knees, my eyes stung with tears, and then everything went off.I woke up to a splitting pain in my head, wondering where the fuck I was, as I blinked several times, trying to adjust my vision to the bright lights in the room."Asher.". A sudden voice called, as I craned my neck to see it was Ethan."Where the fuck are we, bro?". I growled, trying to sit upright, but he quickly stopped me, placing a hand over my shoulder."Relax, bro. You shouldn't be stressing yourself after all you went through.".I ignored his comment. "Where the fuck are we, Ethan?". I growled as my fists clenched in anger."We are in the Lycan king's palace."."What? Why would they bring us here? Do they already know we are warlocks?". I hissed as I spra
Chapter Hundred-ThirteenSophie"Gosh, Sophie I'm so tired. I don't know how you managed to cope in that school, but I can't find it so terrifying. Those people spun and bullied me at the slightest chance". Gina rasped as I placed a hand over her shoulder, rubbing circles around in continuous motion to ease the pains on her shoulder."Do you feel better now?". I mumbled as I drew more circles on her shoulder."A bit, you could step when you're tired. You know Elena, I can't believe you're this strong, yet so weak. We need to train harder and sneak out when we can. We...".I cut her off. "Aren't you tired of sneaking out, especially after the last time? Besides training, I want to make me stronger or unleash my powers, but my second chance mate—once we've completed our mate bond, all my powers will be unleashed"."And who told you all this? Is it Lena, your wolf?". She prodded, narrowing her gaze at me."No, I overheard it from Lydia. Remember I told you she's a demon; the demons wan
Chapter Hundred-Fourteen Sophie"How dare you, you pig! Were you trying to kill my daughter?". Alpha Noah rasped as he charged at me, lifting me up like a weightless bag and flinging me across the room."Ahh....". I gasped and groaned as blind pain ripped through me."You slave. Pray nothing happens to my daughter; if not, you're so done". He hissed, as his nose flared with anger.I shuddered, leaning back into the wall."Guards.". He yelled as three guards raced towards us."Rush Genevive to the royal hospital, and mindlink Katylin to be here with immediate effect while I handle this pig.". He murmured as the guards nodded before rushing towards Genevive, but I was quick to stop them."Wait. Don't go with her; I can heal her.. I whimpered, rising to my feet. Genevieve was already badly injured, and even though we had fast healing abilities as wolves, the damage I had inflicted was too numerous. No one knew how fast Katylin would arrive, and I felt genuinely guilty for what my w
Chapter Hundred-FifteenSophieTears stung my eyes at Asher's confession; this was the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to me before."Don't cry, little wolf. I'm here for you, and I'm always going to be here.". He smiled as he reached for my face, wiping off the tears that rolled down."I love you, Sophie.". He nodded."You didn't say you love me too."."I thought that was already obvious enough. Besides, if I said I love you too, it would only be an agreement to what you said, and I'm not just agreeing with you because I love you. I love you, Elena.". He rasped as more tears stung my eyes, and sparks of electricity danced all through my body. I would never know what I did to be blessed with a man like Asher.'Remember the reason you called him; you guys should get to the mating proper before Lydia finds out he's here". Lena mumbled, suddenly reminding me of the purpose I had mindlinked Asher."Ehhm... Asher... I... I want us to consummate our connection as mates so our mating
Chapter Hundred-sixteenthSophie I woke up to a splitting pain in my head, damp clothing, and a stinging surrounding. I tried craning my head to the side, but I couldn't. My hands, waist, and legs were tied to the chair I sat on in such a way that I couldn't even move and could barely breathe.'Lena, where are we?'. I whimpered, finding it difficult to even speak through mindlink.'The dungeon, obviously.'. Her reply was low, as well as her countenance.'What happened, Lena? Why are we here?'. Silence.Soon, everything came flooding in, as tears rolled down my eyes. I felt so empty, not the kind of emptiness you feel because you couldn't find an essential pair of socks on a Monday morning. Nor the kind you feel because your parents just relocated you to a new state while in your senior year, but the kind of emptiness you feel when you just lost an essential organ of your body, the kind of organ you can't survive with."No...". I screamed as loud as my tiny vocal cords could. My A
Chapter Hundred-seventeenSophie "What do you mean you checked everywhere but couldn't find him?". Lydia growled at the hunters as her knuckles turned white. For a second, just a second, I wondered why she was so upset that they couldn't find the warlock. This wasn't the first time a warlock had sneaked into the pack and successfully escaped, so why was she so infuriated they couldn't find this particular warlock?"Gosh, you all are so useless. A stupid bunch of useless pack hunters.. She hissed before turning on her heels and stomping off.My mind instantly drifted to Elena; she had passed out earlier on. I just hope she was okay now. Without sparing a second, I ambled up the stairs and through the corridors but came to a halt once I saw Lydia standing by her room door."Come with me, Celine.". She grumbled before pushing the door to her room and entering in. Fear suddenly gripped me as I slowly moved to her room and entered in, my heart beating uncontrollably; something was def
Chapter Hundred-Twenty sixSophie.My eyelids slowly parted open, as I felt Reece firm hands pressed tightly against my waist. The events of last night came replaying; How Reece had taken my virginity, and spoke sweet caring words to me till I felt at sleep in his arms. I just wished every day could be like this, me waking up to see his face, as the first thing in every morning, and going back to sleep still seeing his face as the last thing before I went to bed. But I knew better.Yawning, I struggled to pull myself out of Reece hold, as I felt sores in my thighs, yesterday was really exhausting, yet beautiful, I'd love to do it again another time."Your awake beautiful". Came Reece soft silky voice at the crook of my neck as I shuddered, before turning my gaze to him."Good morning". My mumbled feeling heat raised to my cheeks.He chuckled. "You look prettier when you're shy. So I was thinking about the full moon festival, should I send a call across to Elara to make us matching cou
Chapter Hundred-Twenty fiveSophie"You know you really don't need to lie about me being pregnant, when we could just make that happen. You said you're ready when I am and I don't think I've ever been more ready then I am right now".He let out a muffled chuckle, making my insides tightened. "Your not joking about this, you're fucken serious, right?".I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Does it sound like I'm joking husband"."Husband? Hmm I love the sound of that". He rasped, pulling me closer by my waist as sparks of electricity danced around every part of my body. I would never get used to his touches.In a blink, his soft lips pressed firmly against mine, dominating me as though he had long been starved for this moment. His tongue delved deep into mine, wanting to know all my secrets, my fears, and my anxiety. I moaned in pleasure kissing him back as my hands went to the back of his black hair, while his went from my waist to my shirt ripping it off as I felt the air on my naked bre
Chapter Hundred-Twenty fourSophie "Come on, Sophie. I'm sure we could strike some sort of negotiation". She whimpered as I laughed. Genevieve was a real fool if she thought I was going to let her leave here alive, especially after she had threatened to expose me."So..". She began, but I don't let her complete her sentence, as I flung her across the room, causing her to groan and whimper.In a blink, she began shifting into her wolf form, as I spared a second to laugh. She must be really stupid for thinking her pathetic wolf could stand a chance against me; even in my human form, I was still stronger than her, but since this is the way she wanted it, I let out a guttural growl as I shifted to my demon form, my pungent demon scent filling the air.Genevieve Wolf instantly charged at me, but my demon beast was stronger, and I swiftly dodged. She made another attempt to lunge at me, and as I waited, she was only a second away from slamming me against the door before I dodged, giving he
Chapter Hundred-Twenty threeSophie My alarm clock growled loudly beside me as I grudgingly rolled over to turn it off. Fuck, today was Monday, a.k.a. the worst day of the week. Since I could remember, I've always hated Mondays because I felt weekends weren't long enough, and Monday should have been included in week endings.Sighing, I lazily rose from my bed, and as I ambled to the bathroom to shower, after my thirty-minute hot shower, I slipped into my blue shirt and black trousers—the perfect corporate wear to begin the week. Ambling to the silvery mirror in my room, I packed my hair into a neat bun in order to appear so elegant and beautiful. Once I was done, I hopped into my comfy sandals heel as I strode out of my room, proud and beautiful as always."My love, you look so beautiful.". Blake smiled as he drew the distance between us, slamming his lips against mine.I instantly pulled away. "Have you gone crazy, Blake? What if someone sees us?"."I can't help it, love; I just wa
Chapter Hundred-Twenty twoSophie "Gina, what's wrong? What is happening to you"? "I... I don't know, Sophie, what do you think the matter is?". She whimpered as sweat beads formed on her face."We need to rush you to the pack healer, Gina; you're barely even breathing.". I cried as I raced towards her, my palms growing clammy."I don't want to die; you need to help me, So...". And just then her lips clammed shut, alongside her eyes and body temperature."Lena!! Lena!!". I cried as loud as my tiny vocal cords could carry, hitting and pushing her, but still nothing.'Lena, what should we o? Should I mix my blood with hers? Was she going to be okay? I rasped but was met with dead silence from Lena.Out of my desperation to see my friend alive and sound again. I elongated my fangs as I shook it deep into my finger before doing the same to Gina—the moment my fang touched her skin, I stumbled back, spitting continuously."What just happened?". I murmured to myself as I drew level wit
Chapter Hundred- Twenty oneSophie "I have proof everyone, I have proof to back up the fact that Lydia is a demon.". I hissed as Celine's gaze instantly flicked over mine with hope, confirming my suspicions that she actually knew something."I can't believe you guys are entertaining all this nonsense. Guards". Evelyn growled, and I could feel the urgency in her voice. She was truly scared about what evidence I might have."Hold on.". Genevieve ordered the guards, before shifting her gaze to Lydia. "Let's listen to the nonsense she has to spit. Blake, please do well to put this on video so I could show it to my father when his back is turned; he'll need a lot of comic reliefs like this, considering how draining those Alpha meetings could be.".Lydia instantly stiffened. "This is utterly ridiculous; they should just take her outside and beat her up.". She mumbled as cold sweats broke out from her face."Chill, Lydia, this will be so funny; let's hear her out. Blake set the camera".
Chapter Hundred-TwentySophie "Is it okay, Sophie? I believe as long as Lydia's men did not find him, everything is going to be okay. Besides, who knows, maybe a good Samaritan saw him and saved him.. Gina reassured me as she scooted closer to me, placing a hand along my shoulder, and I could only hope that was the case.'We should return back to the palace.'. Lena rasped, as I nodded, before turning my face to Gina."We should get going; we wouldn't want anyone to notice our absence and start bugging us with questions.". I mumbled as we both sprang to our feet. The green blur of trees passing as we raced to the palace.Gina sneaks in first, careful not to make a noise. After a second, I sneaked in through the hidden door as well, taking each step at a time. Just as my feet climbed the first stairs, Blake's loud growl echoed in my ears."Elena.". He growled as I shuddered, sweat beads forming across my face. Inhaling a deep breath, I spun sharply to face him."Greetings, Bla....
Chapter Hundred-NineteenSophie"Guards.". Lydia growled as two guards raced towards her."Yes, Luna.". They mumbled, going on one knee, as they bowed their heads to the ground."Release her immediately.". She hissed before stomping off with Blake.In a blink, the guards instantly untied me, as I inhaled a sharp breath, before ambling weakly to my room. Once in my room, I closed the door, leaning weakly against it, as I buried my hands in my face.Of what use was my life when my beloved Asher was gone? No, I couldn't keep living this way; I was going to end it all so I could be with him wherever he is. I didn't want a life where he wasn't a part of it."Elena!!". Gina's voice sounded from outside my door, and as more tears rolled down my cheeks, she must have heard of Asher's death and is here to console me. I didn't need her pity or consolation, especially as I will be joining him soon, so I yelled back."Go away, Gina. I don't want to speak with anyone."."If course you do, what
Chapter Hundred-EighteenSophie"Of course you would accept; no one wants to die.". I laughed harder as I ambled to my bed."Now come seat my pawn, so I'll tell you what the plan is.". I mumbled, as a grim smile curled at the corners of my lips. Sophie might think it's all over, but that's where she gets it wrong because this is just the beginning.Celine slowly strode to my bed, as she occupied the space beside me, her entire body trembling. That's good; let her tremble, so she never dares to challenge me again."So you see, Celine, as you already know, I'm a demon, and I hate Elena. I want you to help create enmity between her and her mate; your job is simple: I will transform your face into that of Elena's, and hire warriors to attack you, but don't worry; everything will be all an act; the actual person who will be attacked is Elena; she will be beaten by my men. Somehow her mate always happens to know when she is in trouble and comes to her rescue. I will make the beatings so s
