Sophia POVI shouldn't have let Matthew touch me like that. I know that now, but just a few minutes ago, I couldn't resist him. I had almost given up my first time. If Konrad didn't interrupt...For once, I was thankful for Konrad's jerk behavior. I like Matthew but wasn't ready to give himself to him yet. Or to anyone. I just got swayed by the moment.I jumped up and put my dress back on. Maybe I'll lock myself in the bedroom until tomorrow. I wasn't tired enough to sleep, but I didn't feel like dealing with other people here.Especially the twins...Guh! I'm so sick of them fighting over me!Liz would've thought this situation was funny. She probably would've said it was romantic. But I didn't find anything romantic about Konrad being my mate. He looked at me like I was some icky bug to be squashed under his feet.I heard a noise and turned around.Great... one of them is back already. Why can't they just leave me alone?"Which one are you again?" I asked him."What do you think?" h
Konrad POVI smirked as I watched the little runt dozing off slowly, trying to force herself to keep her eyes open. The silly little thing.After bickering with me for a hot minute, she finally settled on a movie. It was some bullshit chick movie, but I didn't argue against it since I decided to play nice for now. Even I got to take a break from being bad sometimes. Besides, I didn't want her to make noises and cry for help. I just wanted to go to bed at this point."Just sleep already. I told you I wouldn't do anything," I said quietly. Valentina and Matthew's rooms were nearby, so I couldn't risk them hearing my voice. They got to be back in their room by now."Nn...no..." she mumbled and yawned loudly but closed her eyes. Soon, her chest began to rise and fall in a slow and steady motion as she drifted into sleep.Stupid girl.[She looks cold, cover her with a blanket,] my wolf suggested.[Let her freeze, I don't care,] I barked at him. Who does he think I am? Her prince charming?
Sophia POVI could kick myself for letting my guard down in front of this filthy beast, I thought to myself as I felt him fidget next to me. I had my back turned to him so I couldn't see what he was doing, but I had no desire to turn around and find out. It didn't go too well the last time I opened my eyes.I couldn't believe he was jerking off right next to me. The audacity!Even though I felt a flutter in my stomach when he called me sexy...god...what is wrong with me!And now he was taking up the entire bed with his monstrous body!"Could you move over to your side more? I am barely hanging off the edge!" I snapped after I couldn't take it anymore."What? Go back to sleep," he mumbled."I can't! You are taking up the whole bed. You need to move over," I whined."You have plenty of room on your side," he grunted, then moved even closer to me.He is trying to piss me off, I thought. "No, I don't have enough room! You are too big for this bed, so just go back to your room, please." I
Matthew POV My mate was in trouble, I could feel it as my heart pounded really hard. Did that bastard Konrad get to her again? I swear I'm gonna kill him if he did something to her to hurt her! I jumped up from my bed and strode toward her room. I had promised myself earlier not to push myself on her or force her to love me. That was why I was keeping my distance, but if Konrad did not stop bothering her, I would have to keep her close to me at all times. Banging on her door, I kept shouting her name outside the door. It was locked. "SOPHIA! Are you okay in there? Is there something wrong? Open the door!" No answer. Okay, now I'm really worried. I couldn't wait for her to respond anymore. It was time to take the matter into my own hands. I cast a spell to open up a portal to transport myself inside her room. For years, I had been practicing my skills to open up these portals because I was never as good at it as Konrad. But I finally knew how to teleport. I could go to any place
Sophia POVI snuggled closer to Matthew as he held me against his chest. I was still shivering slightly, but his warmth spread through my body and I was slowly feeling better. He stroked my hair slowly, putting me to sleep, but I didn't want to let my guard down. Not after the way Konrad treated me.But Matthew wouldn't do that to me, would he? I wondered. He had been nothing but sweet to me this whole time, so I felt like I could trust him."Are you a lot warmer now?" he whispered into my hair.I nodded against his chest. "Yes, but could you hold me a bit longer?"I felt his chest rumble as he chuckled. "Sure thing. As long as you want me to.""Why are you so nice to me?" I asked."Why wouldn't I be?" Matthew sounded surprised. "You are my mate. I'm supposed to love you.""Then why is Konrad so mean to me? I'm his mate too!" I exclaimed. I know I have asked this question many times now, but it still baffled my mind. I couldn't understand that guy. How can two men look exactly the sam
Konrad POVDid I go a little too far with my prank on Sophia? I guess so.But Matthew didn't have to kick me out like that! I was eventually going to let her out and make her warm again. This wouldn't have happened if she didn't try to kick me out of her room and piss me off. It was her own fault.Or at least, that's what I tried to make myself believe."You shouldn't hurt Sophia like this. She will never love you," Valentina said.We were all gathered for our weekly training. I was exhausted because I liked to push myself as hard as possible because I wanted to be stronger than everyone. I was not in the mood, but here was Valentina, giving me a lecture about what's right and wrong."Who said I want her to love me?" I barked."She is your mate. Everyone wants to be loved by their mate," Valentina said matter of factly."Not me," I scoffed. "Where is Matty anyway? He didn't show up for training today.Valentina shrugged. "Maybe he decided to sleep in. He was up all night, comforting S
Sophia POV"What the fuck are you talking about?" Konrad barked at me. His green eyes almost glowed amber. Did I make him angry again? Oh great.Yeah, why did I ask him this question? I shouldn't care if he didn't smile at me as he did with Minerva. On the other hand, who really cares what girl this beast liked?But I cared. I burned with anger, and I wanted to run to them and scratch her face off. And then kick his shin with all my might.Ugh! What was wrong with me!? I have Matthew. I shouldn't be bothered by Konrad flirting with another girl! Minerva seemed so sweet too. She treated me way better than Konrad ever did and here I was getting jealous over nothing. I couldn't hate someone who had done nothing wrong. I should hate Konrad and only him. And being jealous over Konrad? How dumb when he didn't give two shits about me.Something must be messing with my head because I was going insane. [You love your mate even though he is cruel to you, don't you? Silly, silly girl,] my wolf
Matthew POV I was starting to worry as Konrad and Sophia were taking too long to get back. I didn't think Konrad would hurt her, but he made it difficult for everyone to trust him. So now, I was constantly thinking he was doing something bad. ~Stop worrying so much about them. Konrad wouldn't hurt his mate. He doesn't hate Sophia as much as he pretends to.~ Valentina linked with me and said. ~But still...he had already pulled mean pranks on her,~ I argued. ~I know what you're thinking. Don't go interrupt them. You know Konrad will get pissed and end up punishing her for it. You have to be careful and patient with him. Remember what mom said~ Yes, I remembered. Our mother wouldn't stop telling us how things weren't as they seemed. The darkness influenced Konrad's personality, but he was not a lost cause. She was working on fixing him, but why was she taking so long? I broke the link with Valentina and looked at Minerva. "Maybe you should go get them," I told her. Minerva could co
