Sophia’s POV

The next morning...

I wake up early, feeling determined and ready to take charge of my life. After that abrupt incident of Lily mentioning what happened last year, I had a hard time sleeping at first, but I soon dozed off to the music in my ears after aiming to drown out the noise coming from Jake’s room. I was already used to it after staying with them for so long, but it sounded louder last night for some reason.

I began to get fed up with living with two men. Not only did I just realize how uncomfortable it was, but I also realized that I was now financially stable, so it is best I move for my own privacy. The previous night’s events with Jake’s overnight guest and the constant chaos of the apartment have only solidified my decision—I need to find my own place.

As I sip my morning coffee, I grab a broom and start cleaning up the living room. It’s a routine task that I’ve grown accustomed to over the past year. As I tidy up the scattered clothes and shoes, I can’t help

    Sophia’s POV A familiar voice interrupts my thoughts, and I turn to find Tyler making his way toward me through the crowd. His smile is warm and genuine, and he strides toward me, taking a seat beside me. “Why are you sitting here all alone, Sophia?” Tyler asks, his brow furrowed with concern. “You’re not really enjoying the party, are you?” I glance at him and force a smile. “No, Tyler, I am. It’s just... I’m not really used to these kinds of social gatherings, you know? But I’m glad you convinced me to come.” He studies my face for a moment, seemingly unconvinced by my response. “You’re hiding in your shell again, Soph. You need to try to interact more, let loose. Don’t let your shyness hold you back.” I sigh softly, realizing that I haven’t shared the progress I’ve made with him about moving out. I take a deep breath, gathering my thoughts before speaking. “Tyler, there’s something I need to tell you. I’m almost done with the preparation. I should be able to move out soon.”

The dance floor fades away, and it’s just the two of us, enveloped in a bubble of shared memories and unspoken words.With my voice barely above a whisper, I find the courage to ask the question that lingers on my lips, desperate for confirmation. “Alexander, is it really you?”He hesitates for a moment, as if weighing his response, before nodding slowly.

    Sophia’s POVI stand still in place as i look toward Alexander, stunned by his declaration. He just called me his girl. It was so out of script and all of a sudden that it made my heart jolt. I look toward him unable to believe those words just came out of his lips.I can feel his gaze also on me and when her gazes meet, his lips arch into a rare smile that leaves me utterly speechless and my heart racing. Probably it is because I rarely ever see Alexander smile, not even in my memories. He was always distant and guarded as though someone owed him money. It feels odd and surreal to see him smile.The declaration hangs in the air, leaving Tyler and Jake stunned by Alexander’s audacity. Without wasting a moment, Jake lunges toward Alexander, his hand gripping the collar of his shirt tightly, his face twisted in anger.“Repeat what you just said!” Jake growls, his voice seething with rage. My eyes widen at Jake’s reaction, unable to comprehend the intensity of his anger. I move forward

I know I may not be the type to show familiarity, but it is what makes my promises golden anyway. And I don’t think I have ever gone back on my word. Especially not to the queen of trouble herself.“That’s impossible.”“You don’t remember?” She recounts, “When I got into trouble during high school after getting drunk in a bar and you promised to keep it a promise from Grandpa. Didn’t you eventually tell on me?”I finally remember and can’t help but laugh. “That’s not considered a betrayal. It was a necessary evil. Moreoever, i didn’t promise. You simply assumed I did when I didn’t respond.”“Tch...” She clicks her tongue. “You’re even more deceitful than I am.”I shake my head and clasp my palms as I regard her.

They had never encountered such a gesture of commitment before.One of them, a stern-looking man, finally spoke. "This is a bold offer, Luna, but how can we be sure that this covenant will hold? A hundred years ago, a human girl made a similar covenant, and peace was shattered. Her soul was offered to the Moon Goddess, and yet, it didn't prevent the war."I took a deep breath, understanding the weight of history behind his words. "I believe that this time is different. Alexander, Tyler, Jake, and I, we all trust each other completely. We are willing to do everything in our power to prevent the Moon Goddess from consuming my soul. I am confident that we can make this covenant hold."Alexander's expression was conflicted as he looked at me, "Sophia, I can't bear the thought of you making such a sacrifice. There must be another way."Tyler and Jake, who had been silent until now,

    Sophia’s POVThe three days of waiting had been torturous. Each passing hour had only deepened my worry and anxiety. I had called secretary Candace, repeatedly, hoping for any news about Alexander, but the repeated responses of "no news yet" had done little to ease my concern.Daniel and Daisy had sensed the heaviness in the air and had been keeping me company in the living room. Daisy, with her innocent eyes and heart full of love for her father, was the first to voice her concern. "Mom, where's Daddy? Why hasn't he come back yet?"I tried to put on a brave face, forcing a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, sweetie," I said, my voice soft and comforting. "Daddy will be back soon. Maybe he's just been delayed by something. He'll be home before you know it."Daniel, ever the protector and the older sibling, chimed in with his own attempt at reassurance.

    Sophia’s POV The next morning, I woke up with a sense of dread that had settled deep within me. The events of the previous day, the bombing of the Wolf Hunter Organization's headquarters, and the uncertainty of Alexander's safety weighed heavily on my mind. I reached for my phone, my heart pounding in my chest, hoping for a message or some news that would ease my worry. But as I checked my phone, there was nothing—no missed calls, no messages, no updates. I knew that Alexander was involved in a dangerous mission, and I couldn't bring myself to call him and potentially jeopardize his safety. Instead, I decided to call Tyler, hoping that he might have some information. As I dialed Tyler's number, my hands trembled with anticipation. The phone rang, and with each ring, my anxiety grew. Then, to my relief, Tyler answered. "Sophia," I greeted him, my voice filled with worry. "Where are you? Why haven't you been answering my calls?" Tyler's voice sounded hoarse, and I could hear exhaust

Despite my affection for Sophia, I knew that her heart belonged to Alexander. Their bond was strong, and I couldn't let my personal feelings get in the way of her happiness."It's not your fault, Sophia. We knew the risks when we joined the Wolf Hunters.
