Sofia POV.

I turned my gaze to Freya and she looked like she had seen a ghost. I wondered what was going through that little head of hers.

Freya had a petite stature, she had adorable cheeks like a teenager and I wondered how old she really was.

Her face changed from awe to dismay and confusion.

"The expression on your face is humorous" I chuckled to lighten the mood.

Freya's lips curved into a smile but I saw how her lips quivered a bit.

"I know you have something to say, so splutter it out while you still have the time too" I muttered and placed the tray on my lap.

My words had ambiguous meanings.

"The prince is your mate and you both are really going to slaughter each other, it's ridiculous" She complained in bemusement.

She didn't know that we weren't mates anymore but I would keep silent for now till after this duel.

"It's not ridiculous, we both simply have hatchets to bury" I responded and picked up my spoon.

"But it is wrong, my lady," She insisted.

    Sofia's POV. I raised my sword to strike him but he blocked my attack. He pushed his sword against mine to make me stagger but I didn't move an inch but instead flung his sword upwards with mine. Our swords began clanking against each other, he was really not attacking me but I wasn't ignorant of those kinds of devices. I lifted my sword to attack him on the neck but he clinked his sword against mine and swung it towards my head but I ducked. "Wow" He tried attacking me from the bottom but I jumped up and somersaulted to another spot. Now he had started the real fight. He came at me like I expected but I dodged his spear dive and hit him against the neck with my elbow. He staggered away from my side and held his neck in pain. I stood waiting for his attack, it was becoming lame and boring, I think he was contemplating whether to harm me or not but that got me wondering. He hated me. This was the perfect opportunity for him to get rid of me, so why was he relenting? He launc

    Eva's POV. My eyes bulged when his hand enveloped mine. I halted my steps and my body stiffened. "Sofia…" His hand slowly dropped from my hand and turned back to see him unconscious again.Why is he so weak?. He won't live too long, if he continued in this manner and was aware that his uncle wanted him dead and buried. He had always acted arrogant and tough but he was too ignorant to see. My perception about him would never change, he's a weakling. I held his wrist and placed his hand gently by his side, there was still this connection between us and it sent chills down my spine. I exhaled and sauntered out of his room. I went back to my room and went straight to bed. I hoped that I didn't have any more of those nightmares because they were becoming frightening. At times father would tell me they are simply dreams but they feel so real and sometimes even come to pass. I always asked my father why I was not like any normal werewolf but he replied by telling me that I was uniq

    Sofia's POV. I prepared my bath and entered into the bathtub. The warm water was soothing and it made me moan out. I pushed myself under the water and held my breath. I had many thoughts in mind. There were a lot of things that needed solutions in my mind. Alpha Jose was the first problem that I had to settle. I pulled myself out of the water and began bathing. After bathing and brushing, I came out of the room and cleaned myself;I opened my wardrobe and pulled out clothes that were perfect for my curious mood. After wearing my clothes, I waited for my breakfast. Instead of Freya returning with my food, it was another maid who came instead. The maid bowed and placed the tray by my side. "Where is Freya?" I questioned. "She instructed me to bring the food instead of her because she had duties to perform" the maid replied with a bow. "Is that so?" the sides of my lips curved downwards into a frown. Freya was trying to avoid me because of the questions which I had asked her. T

    Sofia's POV. Unedited. I walked close to the door and touched it. “My lady,” Freya cautioned. I placed my finger on my lips, warning her to keep quiet. I placed my ear funnel close to the door, but there was no sound emanating from there. My hand traveled to the handle of the door and I slowly pressed it down and attempted pushing it back, but the door didn't budge. “My lady, don't do that. It's extremely risky, and could get ugly if we are caught in the act'' Freya murmured while looking out for us.“I'm not scared of anyone, and they can't do anything to me” I replied to her and turned my attention back to the door. “They might not hurt you, but that doesn't mean the Alpha wouldn't harm me;At the end of the day, I remain a petty slave who would burn when the fire gets hot '' Freya said. She was completely right, I might not be punished or beheaded but she, a servant, would not be spared from the awful treatment. Sometimes, I had to be careful about my actions;so they wouldn

    Sofia's POV. I kicked out the thought from my mind because it had no sense attached to it. It was a stupid thought that shouldn't have crossed my mind at all. Love was something I would never feel for Martinez or any other male because all of them are useless except my father. My father was an excellent Alpha, mate and father but these men, I'm coming across are all useless and evil. They were nothing like the men in my pack nor were they anything close to the males I had dreamt of meeting, especially Martinez.He was a complete disappointment. The more I thought about it, the more I resorted to thinking that he never deserved to be the Alpha in the first place. He put the life of the servants in danger forgetting that they were also the people who he needed to protect. They needed his protection and support the most. People like Quinn who had another life in them would have been killed that day. Their mates would have been left wailing and morning;All because of his irresponsib

    Sofia's POV. I fell into the room and gasped in shock. I never expected the door to be open for any reason. I thought it was locked, that's why I wanted to break the handle. My knees were still on the floor as I looked up to see the room engulfed in darkness. It was so dark that I could hardly identify the color of my own clothes. My forehead furrowed a bit and I let out a sharp breath from my parted lips. I gazed around and it was difficult to see anything in the room, not even a single piece of furniture was visible. I cleared my throat and slowly stood up to my feet. I adjusted my clothes and touched the wall for a light torch or something but my hands could not feel anything. I walked further into the room and the door suddenly closed itself. I swiftly turned around in shock and marvel. "Is anyone here?" I cautiously treaded forward to check the door.I reached the door but no one was there. I used my werewolf eyes to look around the room but there was nothing inside. If th

    Sofia's POV. I completely froze as he confessed those words. He was thinking of ways to punish me;What kind of an Alpha was he?. He was going to punish me and he thought it would be a walk over if he did. Right now I was thinking of various ways to kill him and free myself from his disgusting grip. I feel highly irritated that his hands are wrapped around me, it made my skin itch out of disgust. He was holding me in such a perverted way that I was glad that the moon goddess never granted him a daughter. I marveled at how her life would be with such a father. "You can't be thinking such" I muttered and tried wriggling out his grip but he wrapped his free hand around me. "I have been thinking about it for the past few days but I was simply looking for a little offense from you and now I have found it" Alpha Jose grinned. I refused to take my face away because I wasn't afraid of him or whatever he could do to me. "My father wouldn't find it too funny to hear his grown daughter bei

    Sofia's POV. "Are you sure you don't have any doubts?" He questioned. What was wrong with him?. He requested for me to be his assistant and now he is asking me silly questions that make no sense. Sometimes I wonder why I do things but I realize I do it for people who are important to me like Freya. " I said I accept and you question me about doubts, you are unbelievable" I uttered with a sigh. "I know what you are thinking but I don't want it to seemed forced or irrational, I need you to think over this and then make your decision" Alpha Jose was such a hypocrite, he would do anything to act like the good guy or as if concerned about people whereas he did it for his own benefits. He was being cunny, being his assistant was my punishment. "I'm not someone who thinks for too long, I accept to be your assistant" I muttered and a yawn escaped my lips. I uncovered my mouth and scoffed. " I can see how sleepy you are, I will allow you rest and have more thought over your decision"

    Author's POV. Elena smiled to herself and lowered her knees beside him. "I have always wanted this for all the maltreatment which I endured with you, for all the times you cheated on me and secretly humiliated me" Elena smiled more broadly, relishing each second in which he slowly died. Elena traveled her hands to the spot where she stabbed him, she pulled out the knife and quickly stabbed him in the temple, straight into his brain. Alpha Jose gasped and his eyes remained wide open, he was dead. Elena chuckled and tears filled her eyes. She regretted wasting her time with such a person, spending so many years with such an appreciative fellow. Her life was truly a nightmare but now, Alesix would become the Alpha and they would become a happy family. Elena stood up and walked to the windows, she opened them and walked to the bathroom, she washed her hands and continued smiling to herself, in the mirror. She left the bathroom and quickly changed her clothes and disposed of the ol

Martinez was among the Rebels training them then he showed the older ones their next strategies for defeating Alpha Jose's army if they decided to retaliate against the death of their Alpha. Their first plan was to capture Alpha Jose and kill him, though Martinez knew that Alesix would not be in support of his plans but there was no other way. They would not only kill Alpha Jose but imprison Elena. Elena was surely in partnership with Alpha Jose in all his deeds and she had to be punished as well for supporting him. Martinez noticed something was wrong when he mentioned Elena's name, there was this strangeness among them and it didn't go unnoticed. Martinez had also noticed that they had been acting strange for a while, somewhat nervous and reluctant about a few things. He didn't ask them if anything was wrong because he wanted to avoid any awkward situation. He knew who to ask and he hoped that the person wouldn't lie to him. After discussing the strategies with

He was prepared to kill him for the havoc he caused his family, Martinez wanted to eliminate him for the years of pain which he gave him. He would never forgive Alpha Jose for destroying the happiness in his life and treating his mother like a piece of dirt, all these years. The memories of how his father died came to his mind and it caused his anger to surge. Sofia, whose gaze was on the ceiling, looked at Martinex and was shocked to see blood dripping from his nose. It scared her to see such. Sofis tried speaking but Martinez shook his head and tightened his grasp on her lips. The footsteps suddenly halted and Sofia noticed that he began walking backwards. She heard a metal clang and then silence. Martinez looked up and noticed that Alpha Jose was gone as well. He wasn't relieved about

    Author's POV. Sofia was stunned by what he said, she looked at him and it made her lose focus. Martinez's eyes were still widened as he released her hand and the lantern fell from his other hand. He lost the connection with her magic and couldn't see anything again. “Mother” Martinez panicked, tears were stinging his eyes as he tried to think about whom he just saw. It was like an imagination to him, or maybe a kind of illusion that was made to deceive him. His mother had lost her mind, she left and never returned. “I thought your mother was dead or rather missing, …this means…” Sofía trailed off in shock as it dawned on her that his mother was never missing. She was captured and kept in this place for several years. Sofia knew that the only culprit behind this was Alpha Jose. “She never disappeared, she never left me” his voice shook as painful tears dropped from his eyes. He had thought his mother left since she couldn't handle the grief, and he never hated her for it. He u

    Author's POV. Elena's presence was domineering, and they were aware that she wasn't bluffing at all. They might love Sofia and support her ambition to become the Alpha, but they were afraid for their lives. Though they were going to challenge Alpha Jose and Luna Elena, but not in this form. They had Violetta, who was the youngest, and she lost her mother in such a gruesome manner. They couldn't allow Elena to kill the little child who hasn't started a future. The rebels felt disappointed by their cowardice but they were unable to sacrifice their families for a meaningless cause. If they had died at war, then it would have been for greater achievement, but that wasn't the case. “Now that you all are under my jurisdiction and authority, I need you to continue training with Sofia but at the last minute, you will abandon her” Elena ordered with a frown on her lips. The rebels weren't surprised by her evil instructions, but they were unhappy about the betrayal and hurt they would cau

Some of her enemies were dead, and the only enemies she left were Alpha Jose and Elena. They were the only adversaries standing in her way to joy. Sofia had been thinking for a while, and she had finally decided to give up her ambition to be the Alpha. She admitted that Martinez deserved it more, even though he wasn't pursuing it for the people but rather for his parents. It was still outstanding how much he was ready to make his parents proud, that quality of selflessness and willingness to give others joy even in their graves. That had made her change her mind. It dawned on her that he only wanted justice for what his parents had been through, she couldn't imagine the pain that he had endured a

She was weak but happy that finally those nightmares would be over and no one would hurt her again.She had completed the task which her mother was unable to finish. She closed her eyes and exhaled sharply. Sofia heard the door open and footsteps, but she had gone numb. She was conscious of her surroundings, but her body couldn't move. Her mother warned her about using so much power, but she insisted on destroying all of them. She refused to live her life in constant fear that some witch or warlock would kill her. She was Sofia, and she would never live in terror. “Sofia” Martinez called and took her body, but there was no response from her. “Is she breathing

He would rather not pressure her into doing anything wrong with the potion Sofia giggled and raised herself, she kissed his lips and trailed her hand on his abs then slowly down to his cock. She loved the size of it, the tiny veins around it, how erect it looked, it wasn't her first time seeing someone's cock though mistakenly. Anyway, his size was perfect according to her and it made her smile. “Did I impress you?” Martinez asked, and it caused Sofia to chuckle. She almost choked because of laughter. She never knew pre-sex would be so interesting and tremendous. “You impressed me beyond imagination. I love you and I want this” Sofia whispered and stared down at his cock. She was about to touch it when he grasped her hand and pushed her back on the bed. “Woah!” Sofia gasped and readily opened her leg
