Chapter Thirty-nine Sophie Elara left not long after dressing me with her girls, as I kept stealing glances at my wrist watch, waiting for it to be seven o'clock, and oh the clock seemed to be ticking ever slow. Soon, I lost track of time as I play a chess came by myself. I don't even hear when my room door open or Darren enters in, until his voice breaks through the walls of the room."You don't plan on leaving your face exposed. Someone might recognise you, besides your previous pack Alpha is here".He growled, as I instantly raised my gaze to him,and instant chill gripping me. My eyes momentarily darts to the world clock."Is ten minutes to seven,and I'm not even the best in doing makeup. Also my previous pack Alpha and I only had one previous encounter, and that was eight years ago when I was introduced into the pack, I doubted he would still recognize me". I tell him, as his expression remained stoic."I don't think the risk it worth it". He state, and I want to argue with that
Chapter Forty Sophie.I instantly leaped, out the stage as the realization of it all dawned on me, and before Regnolds could realise what was happening it was already too late as he had poured the water on the spot were I was. The ground instantly burning in liquid, as it broke and the pogent scent of strong acid filled the air.I flinched like wise the crowd, that would have been me if I wasn't fast enough to put the pieces together."What the fuck!". Regnolds growled pretending to be shocked, but I know is all an act."How did acid even get here, didn't you know it was acid, and a very strong one at that, were you trying to get the Luna killed".He yelled at Louis who looked Just as confused as the rest of the crowd."I swear someone swapped the bucket. I don't know...I don't listen in on their conversation again as my eyes darted around for any sign of Reece or Ryker, but there was none.I instantly tried mindlinking Reece to let him know the Shapeshifter demon was here, I couldn
Chapter Forty-oneReeceRyker and I, reached the royal pack house in no time as we shifted back to our human form. Long story short, Darren had mindlinked us during the Luna Ceremony of the Shapeshifter demon killing some of the pack members and watchers by the boundary. He told us, he was certain the Shapeshifter demon had not gone far, and we should come and soon as possible so we could find him.That was why I had to leave Evelyn in the safe hands of Jeremy,the head warrior and watcher to watch over her, while I left with Ryker, we didn't want to create a sense and decided to chase him ourselves without bothering other wolves. Some of Darren men were by the boundary searching from various corners for the demon, we were so close to finding him when Evelyn mindlinked, that I had to close our mindlinked so I could focus.And soon it became like we were dancing in circles, and the Shapeshifter demon wasn't actually there as we thought. Jeremy mindlinked me seconds later about Louis try
Chapter Forty-twoReeceJeremy comes out a second later, as he leaves with the rest of the warriors."We should get back inside". I murmured, starring at the sky, believing my father was looking down at me, as I wondered what he would had dine had he been in my shoes."We should go back inside". I repeated grabbing Evelyn wrist as we three went in,and slammed the door shut."I didn't see Darren today". She stated freeing her wrist from my hold, as she sat down on the couch.Ryker and I shared a brief glance. I didn't know if she realised what she did, but she just called her father by his name, without even adding his title or anything."He was with us at the boundary we were trying to find the Shapeshifter demon"."Did you see him". She prod, as I blinked confused by her question, as if on cue she elaborates."You said you were with him by the boundary, did you see him, did you see Darren with your two eyes, because I can't recall him ever leaving my room". Again she called him by hi
Chapter Forty-threeReece"If that's the case then we would need to release Louis tommorow". Ryker stated as I nodded, but Evelyn shook her head, having other suggestions."We can't release him if we do, the Shapeshifter demon would know I told you. We need to make everyone believe he is dead including the guards and maids, no one must know he is alive, because we don't know who is to be trusted. If the Shapeshifter demon learns Louis is dead he will feel safe and believe no one figured him out, I'm most definitely sure that would also make him want to strike again".She murmured, as I nodded. "Fine, but Darren would atleast need to know since he is helping us discover the demon"."Helping us, or luring us further to destruction". She chuckled bitterly. "Listen Reece, I'm not saying my father is guilty of anything, but I don't trust him, and you shouldn't trust him either, remember he was the last person you were with before your convulsing began at the previous Luna Ceremony. The doc
Chapter Forty-fourSophie.I felt a hard surface pressed closely behind me, as my eyes instantly fluttered opened, the bright light, shining through the half opened grey cottons greeting me. I blinked, where was I, and before I could ponder further the heavenly scent of earth after rain invaded my nostrils. I had fall asleep waiting for him,I thought he would never show up, but you couldn't blame me I'm used to Reece dissapointing me.I craned my face to the side, to find Reece still sleeping so Peaceful. He looked just like a little boy, without even any care in the world. I must admit the reason I had decided to sleep in Reece bed with him, was because I was scared, but the warmth of his body against mine felt oddly comfortable, like that was the way it was meant to be,Reece sleeping beside me. I couldn't remember the last time I slept so peacefully, I found my self thinking of lying to Reece that I was still scared even though I felt much better today,just so I could relive this mo
Chapter Forty-five Sophie "I will be heading to my room now". I murmured, and without waiting for a response from him I ambled directly to my room, slamming the door shut once I was inside as I pulled out my silky night gown and strode to the bathroom.While in the shower, I tried to let the cold water calm my mind and soul, but it was rather too difficult. I could have been burned, killed and forgotten, without any trace behind. The horrible thought kept resounding in my head as alot of what it's ran through my mind. What if I didn't notice all the suspicious signs? What if it was already to late before I leaped off the stage.'As much as they are alot of what if's to be considered, nothing happened to you, your here and your save now, and that is all that matters'. Myra mumbled reassuringly through our mindlinked as I smiled.'I miss having you around Myra, it can be so lonely when you feel your all alone and have no one to confide in'. I pout.'I was angry because I felt you were
Chapter Forty-sixSophie.As if feeling my gaze on him, Darren flicked his gaze from outside the window, to me, holding my gaze."I can see Reece has marked you, but your yet to consummate your bond. You surely do not think you could just kill my daughter, steal her groom and have a happy ending. Now listen Sophie I know your kind of girls, and how your having second thoughts about telling Reece of my plan, I know you've already given him a hint, it was obviously from the way his suspicions eyes crawled on my skin. I have double minded people, a deal is a deal".He growled, asI inhaled a sharp breathe. "I don't know what your talking about Darren, I didn't tell Reece shit"."You should be clever enough to know I have eyes at every corner of this house watching your every move. I killed your cousin Amelia, and the more time you delay in killing Reece, the more I shall continue killing members of your beloved family, untill all is completely gone. The ball is in your court, kill Reece f
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
