Konrad POVI grinned at Matthew, waiting for him to explode in anger, but his lips curled into a small smile instead.What the fuck was he smiling about? Shouldn't he declare war against me by now? I just marked his mate before him!"So much for not liking Sophia, huh?" Matthew chuckled."Yes, I remain true to that sentiment," I said."Then why were you two making out over here? At first, I thought you forced yourself on her, but she seemed to be enjoying it. And it looked to me that you were enjoying kissing her too. The last time I checked, you don't enjoy kissing somebody you hate," Matthew said.What was his point? I thought irritably. "So what? I just have a physical attraction to her, that's all.""Did you mark her too! You asshole....you just had to be the first, didn't you?" Matthew growled, and I saw a flicker of anger in his eyes.Okay, so he did feel angry about this. "Of course, I marked her first. Her first time mating will be with me too," I declared."The hell it will b
Valentina POVWhen I first met Sophia, I worried about her because Konrad was sometimes unruly and downright evil. But now, it was kind of fun to watch them bicker.After getting over her initial awkwardness, Sophia is starting to open up more, and she doesn't seem to be afraid of Konrad at all.I asked her if she wanted to hang out with me after Matthew left to do some work, just us girls.Her eyes lit up. "Sure, Val, I would love to. What do you want to do?" she asked.I smiled. At least, she seemed to like me. I wanted to make sure that she wasn't completely miserable here."We can have a girls' night. Do girly stuff like paint each other's nails and watch some sappy romance movies." I laughed."As long as the main character in the movie doesn't act like Konrad, I'm good with it," Sophia announced.I giggled. "You really can't stand Konrad, can you?""Are you seriously asking? Have you met your brother? He is awful," she cried. "He has no heart.""I'm sure there is a heart in there
Sophia POVValentina and I spent hours searching online for our perfect dress."It feels like we are shopping for prom." Valentine laughed."I heard about prom. What's it like?" I said quietly.She looked at me with surprise. "Did you not go to your prom? Every high school has one, right?" she asked."No. I didn't go to high school. I was homeschooled because my father didn't like me and Liz to go outside much. He said it was too dangerous," I confessed."You are kidding! What did you do for fun then?" Valentina wondered."I mostly spent time with Liz and the other girls in the pack, but mostly Liz because..."I stopped and looked down."Because what?" Valentina asked."The other girls and I didn't get along. They used to bully me," I sighed. I couldn't catch a break anywhere. Not even in my own home."You poor thing. Why did they do that to you?" Valentina gasped."It was because I was the smallest in the pack. You know how Konrad calls me a runt? Well, he is not wrong. I was a runt a
Konrad POVI tossed and turned all night. My mind was filled with the thoughts of Sophia.The way she looked at me when I asked out Minerva... was she jealous? It sure looked like it.But why do I care if she is jealous or not? My brain was all kind of messed up. Sometimes I felt like I didn't care about her, but then at the same time, I hated it when Matthew touched her. I knew Matthew was in her room again, and it bothered me, but I forced myself not to interfere this time.I kept my anger bottled up, but I knew if I saw them together again, I would surely lose it. But fuck...I wanted to see her again.[Just go see her if you really want to. I'm sure Matthew left already,] my wolf suggested.[No, if I go there, she will think I missed her or something.] I barked.[Well, you do miss her.][What the fuck? No, I don't.] I protested.[Stop kidding yourself, Konrad. You miss her.][ Just shut up, okay? I'm going back to sleep.] I barked.[Alright, go ahead and try,] he cackled.I tried t
Sophia POVKonrad looked at me like he was dumbfounded. My agreement to his ridiculous request must've rendered him speechless.To be honest, I was shocked at myself. Why did I agree to his crazy demand? What is wrong with me?[Did you make me do this?] I asked my wolf, thinking she influenced my decision somehow.[Oh no, honey. You did that all by yourself. Don't blame me because you're hot for Konrad,] my wolf laughed.[Stop it! I'm not hot for Konrad] I protested.[Oh babydoll, you certainly are hot for Konrad.] my wolf cooed.Ugh, did I mention I hate my wolf?"You would do it?" Konrad asked again when I didn't say anything else."Yes, let's get it over with before I change my mind," I said."Excellent, you are finally going to be useful to me," he looked cheerful.I rolled my eyes, already regretting my life decisions.Half laying on his bed, he looked at me and grinned."Well, princess, lay it on me," he grunted."What?" I asked."Get your cute little butt over here and make me
Konrad POVI loved it when people feared me. It made me feel powerful.But seeing my mate recoil in fear when I touched her was not exactly the highlight of my day. If anything, it made my heart sink. I felt bad for the first time."Why do you look so scared?" I grazed my fingertips over her legs and she shivered. "I told you I'm not going to hurt you," I said, trying not to sound intimidating."I know, but I don't know how to trust you," she said timidly.I picked up a lock of her hair and ran my fingers through it. "You can trust me this once. Just pretend like I'm Matthew."Sophia giggled. "That's stupid. Why would I do that? You guys are nothing alike other than your face being exactly the same," she said. "Yes, but you love him, right? You trust him." I suddenly felt sad. Growing up, everyone loved Matthew while I was shunned. Even our mate would prefer him over me. But I suppose I couldn't blame her after all the things I put her through."Well answer my question, do you love h
Sophia POV He was restless, not as confident as before. His light green eyes were so dark they almost looked black. I could tell he was holding back, struggling to keep himself in control. I laid my palm on his chest and closed my eyes. My hand nearly sizzled, but I hung on to him. "Open your eyes," he snarled. No I couldn't. "I don't want to. Not when you look at me like this." I felt his chest rumble against my hand as he laughed. "Look at you like what?" "Like you desire me," I said meekly. I turned my head to hide from him, but he leaned down and pressed his lips on my neck. He was twisting his fingers in me and rubbing my clit with his thumb. I couldn't recognize the sound coming out of my mouth anymore. My moans sounded incoherent and animalistic. I sank my teeth into his shoulder blade to stifle my moaning. I tasted his sweat, but I was aroused even more instead of being disgusted. He thrust his fingers in and out more forcefully, and I felt hot all over. I felt an inten
Matthew POV"Don't do it like that, Sophia. You will break your ankle," I cried."Don't treat her like she's made of glass, Matty," Konrad said mockingly.We were at the battlegrounds, practicing fighting on our father's order. To be accepted into our pack, Sophia must prove to be a warrior. Konrad and I were powerful enough to fight all the battles for her as her mates, but our dad expected more from her than to just sit by and watch, so here we are.I was trying to teach Sophia some basic fighting techniques, and then maybe we will gradually progress to the advanced level."Let the princess break some bones to get used to the fights. She is a werewolf, so it will heal itself faster anyway," Konrad commented. "Actually, no. I have a weaker immune system, so I don't heal as fast," Sophia said."Good god, you are absolutely pathetic," Konrad barked."Hey! You promised," she cried.I looked at them back and forth, confused. What did Konrad promise to Sophia? "What promise?" I asked."K
