Emilia’s POV I come out of the room at noon, expecting to find Alexander already gone to work. However, as I step into the living room, I’m taken aback by the sight before me. The kids, Daisy and Daniel, are happily playing, their laughter filling the air. Confusion washes over me as I wonder why they aren’t at school. “Hey, guys! Why aren’t you at school today?” I ask, furrowing my brows in confusion. Daniel, always quick-witted and sharp-tongued, clicks his tongue and mocks me for not knowing that it’s the weekend. “Seriously, Aunt Emilia? It’s Saturday. No school today,” he retorts, grinning mischievously. I can’t help but laugh at my own forgetfulness, correcting myself with a playful smile. “Oh, right! How could I forget? It’s the weekend. Silly me!” I settle down beside Daisy, feeling warmth in my heart. Daisy, my adorable niece, is holding a little puppy in her arms. It’s the same puppy we had decided to adopt and named Milk. Daisy’s affection for the tiny creature is evid
Emilia’s POV I am nervous due to how cold Alexander looks, and I muster up the courage to ask him what happened, mentioning that I thought he had already gone to work. The room feels tense as I cautiously approach him, my heart pounding in my chest. “Alexander, what’s going on?” I ask, my voice tinged with nervousness. “I thought you had already left for work.” He looks up at me, his gaze piercing and distant. “Change of plans,” he responds curtly. “I had some things to take care of here.” I swallow hard, trying to maintain my composure. The atmosphere feels heavy, and I can’t shake off the feeling that something is amiss. I decide to steer the conversation away from his unexpected presence at home. “Well, I found the kids downstairs. We were playing together and chatting,” I explain, my voice shaky. “They seem to be having a good time.” Alexander’s expression remains stoic, but I sense a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes. “What were they talking about?” My heart skips a beat, a
Emilia’s POV As I finish speaking, Alexander’s gaze lingers on me, his expression a mix of contemplation and resignation. “She’s not really in the power to do but yes, it is undeniable that she doesn’t show much concern for them.” “And there’s something else,” Alexander adds, his tone shifting slightly. “Did you not notice that she doesn’t have a werewolf scent?” His words catch me off guard, and I find myself trailing back to my encounter with Sophia. A sudden realization dawns upon me, and my eyes widen with astonishment. It all makes sense now. Sophia, the woman I had met, couldn’t have been a werewolf because she lacked the distinct scent that accompanies our kind. A mixture of shock and understanding settles within me, and I turn to face Alexander, my voice trembling with realization. “She... she’s not like us, is she? She’s human.” The weight of the revelation hangs heavy in the air, leaving us both grappling with its implications. The truth hits me with a surge of emotions
Sophia’s POV The cab I'm in comes to a halt, and I gracefully emerge, my hands laden with a few shopping bags. Stepping out onto the sidewalk, I cast an appreciative glance at the bustling city around me. The cacophony of honking horns and the aroma of street food fills the air, reminding me that I've finally arrived at my new apartment. With a sense of anticipation, I make my way towards the entrance of the building. Pushing open the heavy glass door, a wave of excitement washes over me. The foyer is immaculate, with sleek marble floors and a modern reception desk. As I step into the building, I notice Linda, the receptionist, emerging from inside and taking a seat at the desk. She's a young woman, currently checking her makeup in a compact mirror. With a warm smile, I approach her and retrieve a small makeup bag from my belongings. "Hey, Linda! It's so good to see you," I greet her, extending the makeup bag towards her. Linda looks pleasantly surprised as she accepts the bag. "
Sophia’s POV I turn to look at who is calling me and see two kids, a boy and a girl, standing at the opposite apartment. At first, I don’t recognize them, but when the young girl suddenly rushes towards me, I realize it’s Daisy and Daniel. Daisy pushes Jake aside in her excitement to reach me, and I eagerly open my arms, ready to embrace my niece and nephew. “Sophia!” Daisy exclaims, wrapping her small arms tightly around my waist. I return the hug, feeling a rush of warmth and affection. “Hey, Daisy! It’s so good to see you,” I say, my voice filled with genuine joy. I then shift my attention to Daniel, who is standing a few steps away, observing us silently. “And hello, Daniel.” Daniel nods in acknowledgment but doesn’t say anything. I understand his reserved nature and appreciate his presence nonetheless. I extend my arms towards him, offering a hug. Daniel hesitates for a moment, but then steps forward, allowing me to embrace him briefly. Although he doesn’t show much familiari
Sophia's POVAfter all the ruckus that happened outside, I take Jake and Tyler into the apartment, closing the door behind them. They both glance around, their attention momentarily captivated by the aesthetics of the room. The events that just unfolded outside seem to fade into the background, but I know Jake and Tyler well enough to realize they won't let it go unmentioned for long.Jake's gaze shifts from one corner to another, taking in the carefully curated details. "Wow, Sophia, this place is amazing," he exclaims, admiration lacing his voice. Tyler nods in agreement, a slight smile forming on his lips. "It's so perfectly suited to your taste. You really hit the jackpot with this one."As they take in the surroundings, their eyes darting from one corner to another, I observe their expressions closely. They seem impressed, their voices filled with admiration as they comment on how perfectly suited this apartment is for me. It's both comforting and amusing to see how well they kno
Alexander’s POVI lead the children through the front door, and as we step inside, a strange silence fills the air. Even Daisy, usually bursting with enthusiasm, is unusually quiet. I can sense that whatever happened outside has affected her. But now is not the time to unravel the reasons behind their somber demeanor. I guide them into the living room, a space that has already been meticulously arranged and made ready for our arrival. The mansion's deep cleaning maids and servants had worked diligently to ensure everything was in order. I can vividly recall Emilia's initial reaction when I shared my plan to buy a new apartment and move our family there. Her face had contorted with disbelief and frustration, accusing me of trying to escape from her by leaving our luxurious mansion behind. However, I patiently explained that my intention was to bring our children closer to their mother and to court Sophia.Surprisingly, Emilia eventually relented, even giving me a reassuring pat on th
Alexander’s POVMy gaze shifts between my children, overwhelmed with love and gratitude. "Absolutely, Daisy. We'll make sure she knows just how much she means to us, but you also have to help Daddy win mommy's heart, OK?"Daisy looks surprised and clueless as she asks her brother, "Win mommy's heart. What does that mean?"She seems genuinely curious, making me laugh and I notice her brother laughing too. He knicks her on the head and clicks his tongue, "To make her like Daddy, of course. You're a baby so you wouldn't know all that. Dummy!""You... Daddy, Daniel called me dummy!" Daisy scowled and retaliated by knocking him on the head too. He however doesn't stop laughing at her and stuck his tongue at her as he chanted, "Dummy... dummy... you're a dummy..."His words only infuriates the girl as she continues to insist. "Take that back, I'm not a dummy!" She seems really offended.They launched into a playful banter, chasing each other around the room. I don't stop them knowing they
Sophia’s POVAfter the tense negotiations and the binding blood covenant, we finally returned to the safety and comfort of our mansion. The weight of the day's events still hung heavily in the air, but there was also a sense of relief and accomplishment that filled our hearts. Peace between humans and werewolves was no longer just a distant dream; it was becoming a reality.As we stepped through the door, Alexander pulled me into a warm embrace. His worry for me was evident in his eyes, but he couldn't hide the joy and pride that also shone there. I felt his strong arms wrap around me, and I buried my face in his chest, finding solace in his presence."I was so worried about you, Sophia," he whispered into my hair, his voice tinged with emotion. "You're the bravest person I know."I looked up at him, touched by his words, and managed a weak smile. "It was a necessary sacrifice, Alexander. I believe in what we're doing, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes for peace."His lips met m
Sophia’s POVThe authoritative Wolf Hunters exchanged uncertain glances, clearly taken aback by my proposal. 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 POVAs we approached the Wolf Hunters' base, my heart raced with a mix of excitement and trepidation. It had been a week since Alexander had recovered from his injuries, and now we stood on the precipice of a pivotal moment in history. The mission was clear: to negotiate peace between humans and werewolves after centuries of conflict. It was a daunting task, but one that I believed in with all my heart.As Alexander and Ethan led the way, I couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude towards them. They had been through so much, and yet, they were willing to risk it all for the sake of peace. I had requested to accompany them on this mission, believing that as a human, I could offer a unique perspective that might help bridge the gap between our two worlds. Alexander had agreed to my request, and I was determined to prove that my presence would be an asset, not a liability.The atmosphere grew tense as we entered the Wolf Hunters' base. Eyes followed us, filled with suspicion
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. "Yeah, Daisy, Mom's right. Dad's probably on his way back now. There's nothing to worry about."Daisy seemed to take comfort in her broth
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
Sophia’s POVAs the night wore on, I couldn't shake the nagging worry that gnawed at me. I reached for my phone and dialed Tyler's number, my heart pounding with anticipation. The phone rang and rang, but there was no answer. Anxiety crept in, and I redialed the number, hoping for a different outcome. Again, it went unanswered.I tried calling Jake next, praying that at least one of them would pick up and ease my growing apprehension. But the result was the same—no answer, just the cold, unfeeling silence of voicemail.With a heavy heart, I hung up and stared at my phone screen. The minutes ticked by like hours, and it seemed like time had come to a standstill. I couldn't help but worry about Tyler and Jake. They had been through so much, and now, with the Wolf Hunter Organization under attack, their lives hung in the balance.The clock on the wall read 11 o'clock in the evening, but sleep was elusive. I tossed and turned in my bed, my mind filled with thoughts of Alexander, Tyler, an
Sophia’s POVAs we held each other, the gravity of the situation sank in. I knew that this was a risky endeavor, that the Rogues were a dangerous and unpredictable enemy. But I also believed in Tyler and Jake, in their vision of a world where wolves and humans could coexist peacefully. And I was willing to do whatever it took to help them achieve that goal.With a heavy heart, Alexander picked up his phone and dialed Ethan's number. The seconds felt like hours as he waited for his second-in-command to answer. When Ethan's voice finally came through the line, it was filled with a mixture of surprise and curiosity."Alpha, what's going on?" Ethan asked. "Just a week ago, you were suggesting we observe the Rogues' movements and not provoke them. Why the sudden change?"Alexander took a deep breath, his fingers gripping the phone tightly. "Ethan, the situation has escalated. The Rogues have bombed the Wolf Hunter Organization's base, causing significant casualties. We can't afford to wait
Sophia’s POVI couldn't believe my eyes as I stared at the TV screen, the news anchor's words echoing in my mind. "Harborview Corporate Center has been bombed, causing chaos and casualties in the area." My heart raced, and my thoughts were consumed by worry for Tyler and Jake.Without wasting a moment, I knew I had to find Alexander, and tell him about this dire situation. I rushed to the car, my hands trembling as I fumbled with the keys. The drive to Alexander's company felt like an eternity as I replayed the news report in my head, trying to make sense of what had just happened.When I finally arrived at the sleek, glass-fronted building that housed Alexander's company, my mind was still racing. I hurriedly parked and practically sprinted to the entrance. The security guard at the front desk greeted me with a nod, accustomed to my occasional visits.I scanned the bustling lobby for any sign of Alexander and finally spotted him in a meeting room off to the side. He was engrossed in
Tyler’s POVI clenched my jaw at the mention of Alexander's name. His name seemed to irritate me, but I pushed that feeling aside. 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. Our investigation into the Rogues is not just for you; it's for the safety of everyone."Sophia's gratitude was evident as she said, "I appreciate it, Tyler. Please be careful out there. I don't want anything to happen to you or Jake.""We will, Sophia," I assured her. "And we'll keep you updated on our progress. You stay safe too."Jake had been listening to our exchange. His expression was a mix of determination and concern. "She's worried about us, Ty.""Sophia, you don't have to worry," I said, trying to convey the sincerity in my voice. "We're here to protect you, no matter what it takes.""Thank you,
