Sophia POVI stared at the mirror and winced as I was not too fond of the way I looked.I was different than all the other wolves in my pack. Most of the girls here had long, black hair and heart-shaped faces with sharp features but not me. My hair was as red as fire. Growing up, kids used to make fun of me, saying I was a hothead even though I was the most mild-mannered girl in the group. Even my wolf had red hair. I had a small round face that was full of freckles and a pair of light blue eyes."Stop looking at yourself so much. You will break the mirror with your vanity," my sister Liz remarked sarcastically.I looked at her and snapped. "I am not trying to be vain. You know how much I hate the way I look!"Liz shook her head. "You are crazy. Everyone thinks you are beautiful.""Yeah, by everyone, do you mean you and mom?" I laughed bitterly."No silly, not just me and mom. Elija too," Liz smirked.I felt a flicker of hope. Elija was our pack beta's son. He was only a few years old
Konrad POVI slipped away quietly before my family saw what I was doing.Dad would've advised against me following my enemies back to their territory, and I didn't have the patience to listen to his order. I wasn't done with them yet.So here I was, sneaking around. I made myself into something like a shadow so no one would see me. I didn't want to start the carnage right away.I quickly scanned the territory.It was not big, and there weren't too many werewolves around. I was definitely at an advantage here."Hey you, what are you doing here?" someone suddenly spoke to me.Oops, I've been spotted.Grinning frivolously, I turn to face the man. He must have been patrolling the premises and saw me sniffing around."You don't belong here," he said."Oh, you don't think so?" I bit back with sarcasm. I straightened my back and then slowly and gracefully walked toward him.His eyes suddenly turned wide. "Y...you. You are one of the Vikander brothers, aren't you? From the rival pack? Did you
MATTHEW"He is gone.""Who?" Valentina gave me a puzzled look.After our fight with the Bloodmoon pack, we went our separate ways. Sunday dinner was already ruined, and we weren't in the mood to continue where we left off because we had some cleaning up to do. They had done some damage to some of the buildings. Bastards.After a while, I regrouped with Minerva, Valentina and Callan to talk about what went down, but Konrad wasn't there. I couldn't even feel him nearby. I almost always knew where he was, but this time, I couldn't trace him."Konrad. He left," I told her. "Where do you think he went?""Maybe he went back home to take a shower or something," Callan said dismissively."No, I was just there, and he is not there. He is not even inside our territory. I hope he didn't go after the enemy," I said. I was worried about him. He always made impulsive decisions and was notorious for having violent outbursts. I could sense his disappointment when our dad wouldn't let him kill some of
Sophia POV Fear overwhelmed me as I realized what was happening. "Wh...who are you?" I asked again as he never told me his name. "Konrad Vikander at your service." He grinned. Holy crap! I was being kidnapped by an evil hybrid who was my father's enemy. And to make the matter much, much worse, he was my mate. Father was right, after all. They were not like us. I didn't meet the rest of his siblings yet, but he was bad enough as it is. "You can't just take me. My father is the Alpha. He will hunt you down and kill you!" I threatened him, which made him laugh. He was not taking me seriously at all! "I'm being serious!" I warned him, but his eyes were still smiling. "Your father, the Alpha? He ran off with his tail tucked behind him when he heard me coming," the beast smiled arrogantly. "You are lying," I protested. My father couldn't just forget about me, could he? He was supposed to protect me! "I'm not going to stand here and argue with you. Come on, little runt. You belong to
Konrad POVMathew looked like he wanted to grab and shake me if I didn't answer him right now. What was he so worked up about? I didn't understand. It was usually me getting angry about things. I was the hotheaded one, after all.After leaving her in my makeshift cell, I got ready to take a long, cold shower.I've never felt so aroused by a woman before. Not like how it was with my so-called mate. Whether it was inside or outside the pack, women feared me. With the exception of Valentina and Minerva, I stayed away from women and they stayed even farther away from me.But something stirred inside me when I kissed her. It was a mixture of arousal and disgust.As soon as I left the room, I nearly retched. How could I even think about kissing that pathetic runt? FUCK, I need a whole bottle of Listerine now. That might not even be enough. I was tempted to cast a spell on myself, so I could forget the whole thing.But it was impossible as I could still taste her sweet tongue and imagine the
Sophia POV"Sophia." His voice deepened as he repeated my name. "It suits you."What is that supposed to mean?I didn't have time to ask him that as he suddenly disappeared again, leaving me all alone.I searched around the room, desperate to find a way out. A window, a crack on the wall, anything. But there was nothing.The walls were made of solid stone, and there was only one small circular window sitting high up the wall. Even if I jumped and reached it, my body wouldn't fit through it.He couldn't have picked a better prison for me. I howled in frustration and anger. This wasn't how I planned to spend my week.What day was it anyway?I had no idea because he didn't even bother to leave me a calendar here. Or anything to entertain myself with.And not to mention I was starving!I felt a surge of regret for not eating the beef stew. How was I supposed to know that he didn't tamper with it! And then he had the nerve to eat it all in front of me!"Where are you now? Come back here!"
Matthew POV It didn't take me too long to realize Konrad was lying to me. I knew he didn't just leave her at her house. Konrad wouldn't spare an enemy that easily. He would kill everyone who came across his path or take them prisoner. And I knew he didn't kill her. My mate... She was even more beautiful than I imagined with her fiery red curls and sweet freckled face. Those deep blue eyes reminded me of the ocean. I was instantly in love. But she was hesitant. I could tell she didn't trust me. And who could blame her? I possessed the face of her kidnapper. Who knows what Konrad did to her to traumatize her already. I'd have to have a long chat with him. This was no way to treat your mate! For some reason, I was not all that surprised when she told me Konrad was her mate too. Deep down, I had always known. No matter how many times Konrad liked to deny our twin bond, it was unbreakable. We shared everything growing up. Our whole world revolved around each other and our sister Val
Konrad POVI did what I always try to stop myself from doing no matter how angry I got at Matthew; I raised my hand and threw a fireball at him. He had skillfully dodged it as if he was expecting it. Sleek bastard.Don't get me wrong, as brothers, we fought all the time and have never gone beyond a friendly scuffle. But this time, it was serious. It was real. I could not control the rage inside me when I found out I had to share my mate with him.Me sharing? It was unheard of. I didn't even share a mere toy with him when we were little unless our mother forced me to. Even then, I fought hard to defy her. This situation was far worse than us fighting over a toy."KONRAD! Control your anger. Let's talk about this like adults," Matthew said after dodging my fireball."Fuck off, Matty! How can you suggest such a thing? I won't share her. Not even with you," I sneered. I got ready to attack him again, rage burning through my veins."We don't have a choice. We are both bound to her by desti
