SOFIA'S POV

Hearing the morning bells sounding out, my eyes snapped open and I groaned in protest.

I couldn't deny that taking a bedrest was great and addicting, however, I was tired of just staying in.

In the next second, I stood up to my feet with a light nightdress on, I yawned.

"My lady!" I heard Freya's voice as she opened the door.

"You can't get out of bed yet!" She said, immediately, with a frown on her face.

It had been two days since I was on bedrest and I was starting to wonder how she was able to keep me in.

"I can't stay in bed anymore, Freya." I said, outrightly and I took a step forward.

"But…" She started to protest. But then I was quick to look at her, with a scary glare.

"You can't tell me what to do, Freya! Do as I say!" I said, in a chill tone.

Immediately, an embarrassed look came upon her face and she bowed her head.

"Yes, my lady!" She said.

I looked at her in silence but then I sighed and then said, "Now! Help me get dressed!"

Immediately, she got to work, fi

"Ahh…" I yelled as I stumbled to the ground. My leg hit a fallen branch and came face flat to the ground.Groaning in pain, I started to crawl on the narrow forest floor.My hands were scraped and they were starting to bleed. My knees couldn't do justice to my movement.However, I knew I just needed to get out. The darkness was upon me and I felt like it was going to consume me soon. As I crawled on the ground, I made efforts to stand up to my feet. Looking behind me, I caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure with my name being called out, in a low tone."No!" I screamed as I ran forward, like a mad dog. I couldn't stay, let it trample upon me. My greatest

He was amused and I could catch a hint of lust in his eyes.On the other hand, I was stunned at what just happened.Immediately, I tried to get down but then, I felt his hand around my waist.I became uncomfortable and a serious and irritated look came upon my face."I'm sorry, Alpha Jose, but I need to get down." I said, quickly, looking straight at him."Why?" He said to me and a sultry look came upon my face."You don't enjoy our close proximity?" He asked and the smile on his face irritated me greatly. "We shouldn't be like this, Alpha." I said, through gritted teeth. The hatred I had for him was ever increasing and I just wanted to gouge his eyes out. In the next session, I pushed against his chest, trying to get away. However, he held onto me tightly. But then, I had underestimated who was before me.

"What do you say?" He asked. At this point, his expression had changed into a neutral one.He looked nothing of what had happened a few seconds ago. "I refuse, Alpha." I said, in a resolute tone. My expression hardened as I looked at him. "It's the duty of the Luna to go on trips with you." I reiterated.Standing upright and clearing my throat, I added, "I'm just an assistant."As soon as I finished my words, I bowed my head, in obeisance. "Oh…" He chuckled nonchalantly as a cunning look flashed across his eyes. For a moment, I was spooked as that was the look of a person who would do anything to get what he wants."I need to leave!" I said. Immediately, I took off Alpha Jose's suit and passed it to him. However, he only looked at me with a nonchalant gaze and then looked away. But then I wasn'

However, I didn't care as I took small and continuous bites from the piece of toast in my hands."It's just a work trip! You don't have to get so worked up." I heard Alpha Jose say and I smirked, wickedly.For some twisted reason, I was happy he was having an argument with the Luna.In the next second, I felt two pairs of eyes on me, while the couple were still arguing.Right away, I knew it was David and Alesix but then I didn't care.I wasn't ready to say anything to anyone.___An hour passed and as I walked down the hallway, in my flowing dress. I had a few files in hand and it was obvious I was going in for a meeting.I had an agenda for the meeting and I was prepared to fight dirty, to get it done."Are you sure you don't need anything else?"

I replied, with a smirk on my face.My expressions and actions irked her and she obviously looked troubled."He is the Alpha and he is coveted by a lot of women, don't act like a saint!" She said, with a sneer.Her eyes had a degrading look in them but I didn't care.My next words would do justice to me."I get that the Alpha is coveted by a lot of women out there, which isn't surprising to me." I started to say, as I took small steps, walking around the Luna.Looking at her, I realized she would be just a common person on the streets, if she didn't get mated to the Alpha.She looked just bland to me.At my words, a proud smile came upon her face, however, I was about to burst her bubbles."Despite all this, Luna, he is too old for me." I said, in a mocking tone.Her smile vanished in the next moment and she glared at me. At this point, I was standing before her, looking at her, with an intimidating

My eyes narrowed while I looked at him and though I really pitied the Beta, I didn't appreciate the fact that he thinks everyone will end up like him. At my words, he let out a low chuckle while his head dangled. It looked like it was going to come off at any moment but that was not the case.Looking closely at him, his hair was mangled and I could practically smell it from afar, due to my high senses."You look promising, lady…" He drawled out as he tried to remember my name."Sofia…" I said, almost immediately. However, he just hummed response, not bothering to utter my name.I was a bit curious why he thought I was promising and it was like he heard my silent question."You are a warrior…" He said and I raised my brows in surprise."Is it so obvious?" I asked, with amusement dancing in my eyes. Beta Reynolds chuckled before he went on to say, "I used to train a lot of strong soldiers and warr

I wasn't one bit dizzy and the speed could be compared to my Werewolf speed. My arms were angled perfectly and my eyes stared at the blank wall before it. It was a private gym and I had no one to disturb me.As I continued to run in solitude, the last moments I had with Sofia, flashed in my head. "Fuck!" I said as I recalled the peaceful expression on her face while I took her away from the stream. How she touched my chin, so lovingly. I couldn't deny the sparks I felt at that moment. Her last words, before she passed out by the stream, rang in my head and I groaned. Deep down in my heart, I knew I missed her and I wanted to see her.However, I couldn't just go to her as I would look like a clown before her and her servant, Freya who had seen her in my arms. As I continued to relish in my thoughts of Sofia, I heard footsteps from behind. A heavy scent of pe

"Why are you so worried? Do you like her? Does she appeal to you?" I asked suddenly, and in a nonchalant tone. However, deep down, I needed to know what was going on in his head about Sofia."Huh? No!" He was quick to say and my heart went calm."Then who do you like? Care to share?" I asked, with a small smile on my face.Immediately I finished my words, Alesix's ears turned red and I chuckled."So, you do like someone." I reiterated and watched him nod his head slowly."Yes… I'm in love and she is the best person

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.
