Liam's POV.

I let out a sharp breath and turned my gaze to the door. I watched as people tripped into the restaurant and things for me became more boring. Sofia was walking back and forth without a care in the world for my presence.

I gazed at her and watched Martinez suddenly pull her away. My feet itched to follow them and eavesdrop on their conversation, I stared at the counter and Nathan was still behind it.

This man was always overprotective about his money and restaurant. I didn't blame him because his whole life was vested in this place. I brought out a set of gloves from my pockets and wore them.

I felt really cold. I really wanted this season to pass soon, it was becoming unbearable everyday.

I stood up and walked towards the counter.

"Old man, I need to use the restroom. I hope I am allowed?" I asked sarcastically. Nathan glared at me and ignored my rants.

I walked towards the restroom but diverted to the dressing room where I suspected she would be along with Martin

    Lewis' POV. I was petrified by my own schemes but I was sure that everything would go as planned if Freya would cooperate with me. I knew that the mate bond might not pressurise her into betraying her friend and Mistress but I was aware of something that could. An emotion that could be destructive and make people go to great lengths,greater than anyone could imagine. All I had to do was make her love me and the rest of my idea would fall in place. I pushed my thoughts aside and decided to concentrate on the kiss. I wondered if this was her first kiss, I should be considerate and make it memorable. I chuckled inwardly. I rolled my tongue in my mouth and explored each but if it did, her tongue began battling with mine slowly and I was truly relishing each second within her mouth ; it got more enjoyable by the minute, I was eager to know how she would taste down there. I had to admit that she tasted different, much different than other women I had kissed. Their lips all tasted the

    Lewis' POV. I followed them and overheard their conversation. Sofia tried clarifying things between us, claiming that nothing was between us and she had no cause to worry. Freya didn't say anything at first but later she told Sofia that she wasn't offended in any way but I could still sense the displeasure in Freya's voice. They apologised to each other and probably hugged. It didn't turn out the way I wanted but I definitely knew that doubt had planted in the mind of Freya. I sighed and went to the kitchen to get some water. After that I left home and headed to the gambling site, that was certainly a place I had to go and I hoped that my boss would take Sofia as his sex slave. I reached the gambling site and was immediately taken to the Boss in an aggressive manner, they had not attacked me since the day Sofia defended me. I was pulled into my Boss' suite and thrown harshly before his feet. I couldn't lift my eyes to stare at him;he had not only a dark aura but was physically ug

    Lewis' POV. There was the look in her eyes that I loved and I understood that she meant each word which was spoken. She was ready to go the extra mile for me without any hesitation. "I'm ready to kill any evil person for you and defend you from those who try to hurt you" Freya said with a pretty smile. She suddenly stole a kiss from me which felt odd. I gazed at her and became sceptical about making my true intentions known to her, how was I sure that she wouldn't turn against me at the last minute?. Freya seemed complicated and overly righteous. She only promised to harm those who hurt me but Sofia had not done anything to me and neither to her. Her offence didn't remain for long when I compared her to Sofia, which meant that my plans could go sour. I gulped down nothing and turned my gaze to the ceiling. I was truly in a dilemma; I sort of wished that I had a wolf to converse with and perhaps assist me in making the right decision. It could be dangerous to tell her mg plans wh

    Lewis' POV. I knelt down beside Freya's body and I was shaken. I had never felt emotions like pity or guilt but presently these emotions were choking me up inside. Freya was innocent and so naive that she couldn't detect the kind of bastard and traitor that I was. I had done the most inhumane thing ever. "Freya" My voice quivered as called her name. There was blood gushing out of her stomach and her eyes were shut. I raised her up into my arms and wondered why she wasn't healing like other werewolves except the bullet wasn't a normal one. "Why did you shoot her?" I yelled at them. The one that carried Sofia on his shoulder replied. “She was about to ruin things for us” "You didn't have to pull the trigger," I shrieked and stared at Freya. “Freya, stay with me please” I heard some strange noises from the trees and all of a sudden I saw a wolf jump from the top of a tree, landing on one of them. "Ah!" One of them screamed as the wolf bit his neck. The next victim was the one h

    Sofia's POV. He called the person his Boss but to me this man was a beast. His facial features were nothing but monstrous and horrendous, how could people stay close to him without puking their gut out or absconding to a place far from him?, I wondered. "My men were killed again!" The beast scowled and cocked his gun at him. I stared at the other two men that stood behind him, they looked well built and muscular but to me they were nothing but cockroaches. With one slash from my claw I would tear them to pieces, that was sort of an exaggeration. Fortunately the effects of the drug they had injected in me had also faded. "That is the girl" one of them pointed at me and I felt like biting his finger off. "You all are out of your wits, if you think you can kidnap me for whatsoever deal you made with Lewis. You don't know who you are messing with" I shrieked and stood up to my feet. From the moment Martinez explained to me, how everything played out and Lewis part in it. I became so

    Sofia's POV ."D-Delta Charles" I muttered but the name didn't ring a bell. I had never heard that name before, neither recalled Freya or Martinez saying it. Martinez had mentioned a few people like my parents, an Alpha called Jose, Luna Elena and Martinez ' cousins however there was no mention of any Delta. I stared at him in bemusement and caution, I couldn't fall prey to this sort of person the second time. Martinez had insisted on following me but I declined and told him that I could take care of myself which is what I would do if this old man tried anything unusual. "Sofia, it's me Delta Charles" Delta Charlse placed his hand on his chest, intently staring at me and waiting for me to remember him. "I actually don't know you" I said and he was more shocked than before. "I knew from the moment I saw you that you were an insolent person but I never expected you to–” " Hold your horses!, I might have known you but that doesn't give you the right to insult me" I argued and wiped

    Sofia's POV. Shock was written all over his face, why was he so surprised?, I pondered."Sof. Are you alright?" Martinez asked, there was this care in his voice, one I heard when I was lynched by those mobs. "Don't call me that and stop hovering over me, it's becoming annoying” I said in a riled manner. I tried moving my head and I felt some pain behind. " Ah "I yelped and touched the back of my head. I looked around my surroundings and was oblivious to the place. The kitchen in the Pack house was not small or tattered, the place looked awful especially to my taste. Above all, it was weirdly dim except for the candle or a lantern, I presumed which rendered light. "Is it here?" Martinez touched my hand. I glared at him but he didn't seem perturbed by my attitude. I tried recalling how I ended up on the floor but couldn't, I was distorted and fazed especially by Martinez's sudden show of care.The last time we spoke ,the conversation didn't actually end on an amicable note.

"In due time, you would remember and I hope it would happen really soon" Martinez said and I glared at him. "I don't understand any of the nonsense you are saying but make sure this girl doesn't get close to me again" I said and pointed at the rude and nonchalant idiot. “Or else I will gouge out her eyes or skin her alive” Martinez let out a breath and nodded. “You shouldn't worry about her, she's harmless” There was this calmness that his voice brought, it was like a tranquil feeling in my chest and weirdly anytime he got close, my heart would palpitate. I refused to take any note of it before, however I couldn't ignore it.'it's the mate bond' I thought and clenched my fist. “Good, get your hands off me” I uttered in a displeased voice, our eyes met and I relished staring into those beautiful eyes of his. They were beautiful as he was. “Sorry” He apologised and retra

Martinez reached the streets but he stopped running, he closed his eyes and tried communicating with his mother through the mind link. 'Mother, where are you, please respond' Martinez pleaded inwardly and waited for a while but there was no response. He was about to walk again when he heard something through the mind link. 'She's about to throw me off the cliffMartinez's eyes widened when he heard this, he ran to the only place that had a waterfall and a cliff. He rushed to the place and he met Sofia there as well. His eyes widened when he saw Elena holding his mother's neck with a knife placed on it and worse, being close to the edge of the cliff. Martinez sauntered quickly to Sofia's side and she looked at him. "What are you doing here?" Sofia asked, worriedly. "I should be ask

    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

    Author's POV. 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

    Author's POV. Sofia was about to speak again but Martinez covered her lips with his hand and placed his finger on his lips, telling her to be mute. Martinez wasn't scared of him catching them. 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

Sofia looked at William and watched as his body and hollow face turned into ashes and completely vanished. The dagger dropped to the floor, she lay on the floor as well. 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
