Sophie POV
Stepping outside was the best feeling. I could breathe again. I didn’t look back, I headed straight for the groves. Dove was anxious, I guessed she wasn’t comfortable leaving Eric. I felt drawn to the clearing that was just beyond the line of trees. Dove paced nervously.
“I don’t like this, Sophie. It’s not safe without mate.”
Don’t be silly Dove. It’s daylight no one will hurt us. I just need to get over there…
Dove growled so I pushed her to the back of my mind. What was her problem. I went around the trees feeling the bark. They looked old and weathered and each had its own character. I wanted to feel connected to the earth, so I took off my shoes letting the lush grass spring up between my toes.
Out here I had no one angry at me, no one wanting high expectations. It was just me, the sun and the earth. I smiled and let out a sigh. Why couldn’t life be simpl
(Warning this episode contains 18+ material)Sophie P.O.V The corridor was old and dusty. Candles dripped milky whiteness onto dark pillars of stone. I had been here once before. Wind howled though the dungeon and I shivered. Pain dully thumped inside my heart. I knew what he was doing. I knew who he was with, but I couldn’t stop myself from seeing. I had to confront him this time. I slowly approached a door. I could feel his presence behind it. I could hear their low murmurs. Edging closer I pressed my ear to the door to listen.“Baby, everything will be alright. I’ll get rid of that bitch Sophie and free you from this prison.” I could hear sobbing. “You were right. She tricked me. She used her magic against me, and I almost lost you. Can you forgive me?”“I don’t know Eric. You abandoned me an
“What do you mean?” I asked continuing to stand my ground. I would not show him fear.“I didn’t expect you to come to me so willingly.” He looked at me with lust and wanting.“Why did you do this to me? I…I don’t understand what you want.” His hand moved to my arm and he gently stroked up and down. I felt nothing, nothing like before when he touched me in my dream.“Darling, you do understand. We are meant to be together. Eric is using you for his own personal gain. He doesn’t want you as a Luna.” His hand went to my bump and he stroked my belly. I didn’t move. I didn’t want to move. “This pup, I’ll raise as my own. He’s mine just as much as he is yours.”“But he’s Eric’s. Eric won’t stop till he gets his son back.” I was going to play this his way. Just to see how far we’d get. Anger flashed across Blak
Eric P.O.VThere was pain. I felt as if I was deep inside a fire, flames licking my sides. Sophie stood in the distance. I tried to reach her. She cried out for me. She reached for me, but I couldn’t help her. ”Sorry I couldn’t be what you wanted. I will always love you.” She cried out. I fell to my knees as darkness consumed me.I woke sweating profusely. It was like my body was still in the fire. Rhea stood over me, tears on her cheeks. Luke and James looking dejected. My thoughts instantly went to Sophie. Where was she? The door flew open and in ran Dr Sven. I relaxed a little remembering Sophie had gone to see him.“He’s awake, good.” Dr Sven said before sitting on the edge of the bed. “Hello Eric. How are you feeling?”I was confused. What did he mean how was I feeling? “I feel a little hot but I’m ok.” Everyone exchanged a look. “What? Why is eve
Eric P.O.VIt had been four days since I woke up and we were no closer to figuring out how to get Sophie back. We spent most of the time quarrelling. It didn’t help that James still had trouble believing me and it put a strain on our Alpha-Beta relationship. We couldn’t agree on anything anymore and it troubled me.We located Tatiana back at her cottage. She had also been tricked into believing I was the one that released her and that I wanted her back. When she saw me, she flung her arms around me, kissing me. Luke dragged her off and we sat her down telling her she had been tricked into believing I wanted her back. She had insisted that she had felt the mate bond with my doppelgänger. She claimed that the moon goddess had gifted us a gift as second chance mates. To prove her wrong, I clutched her hand and there were no sparks. She was bitterly disappointed. If anything, it proved that whoever had tricked her was in fact her second chance mate.
I could not believe it. For 17 years I had been lied to. I couldn't understand why they hadn't told me sooner. I guess it did explain a few things that I had always thought were odd. The obvious one being I look nothing like my parents. My deep blue eyes and chocolate brown shoulder length hair were in stark contrast to their mousey blonde hair and brown eyes. My height and curvy figure the opposite to their short and narrow bodies. I remember asking why I looked so different and was told that I took after some distant ancestor. But it wasn't just that, I knew there was something different about me, about everything. My classmates often teased me, calling me freak and a nobody and would often ask why I didn't look like my parents. I would usually ignore them. But now I have the answer. I'm adopted.After they told me I sat there staring at them. Why was all I could think as my m
I woke up in my cosy bed, and for several minutes I had forgotten the conversation that happened only a few hours ago. The sun was shining brightly through the gaps in my curtains and I knew it must have been well past 9am.I turned over and grabbed my phone. Sure enough it was in fact 10:30am. I hate sleeping in, so I sprang out of bed and headed for the shower. I let the warm water cascade down my body as I contemplated what Gary had told me. I couldn’t believe that it had almost been 24hours since I found out I was adopted. Strangely, it didn’t seem to affect me anymore. I was more concerned with finding out I was a werewolf.Gary had told me how werewolves generally kept to themselves. They were proud and noble in their ways. He told me about the leader of the pack, the one he had called Peter. Peter was an Alpha meaning he oversaw the pack. He administrated the pack along side his partner, the Luna. Luna Bianca had been Alpha Peter’s mate and the
Sven P.O.V"Congratulations Alpha, the future Luna is expecting." I looked up at the couple opposite me and was greeted with mixed emotions. The future Luna's grin would have put the Cheshire Cat to shame, while the Alpha's clean-shaven face remained stone cold."Is it a boy or a girl?" Alpha Eric purred coolly. I glanced from him to his partner whose smile had now faded. He sat there, emotionless, and empty."You both want to know the gender?" I smiled weakly. I knew that whatever I said could be met with hostility. I had known the Alpha since he was a small boy. He often played with my son, Gavin, when they were kids. I could tell when something was troubling him and this was definitely troubling him."Baby." Tatiana placed a gentle
Sophie P.O.VIt was only a day before my 18th birthday and Gary had not heard back from his old friend. I didn’t really believe that he would, but it had given me a little bit of hope. I hadn’t slept well, with my mind constantly thinking about the last couple of days. Adopted, Werewolf, Mystery.I paced nervously up and down my room. I felt like a caged lion. I looked out my window and saw several kids from my school walking to nearby Riverswood High. I was meant to be getting ready to go to school. Not that I ever wanted to go. But I was relieved when Mary and Gary suggested I stay home at least until I’d completed my coming-of-age. Fed up with the waiting around I decided to go and get some breakfast.As anticipated, Mary and Gary were already eating breakfast at the kitchen island bench. Gary was munching into his cereal while reading the paper and Mary was taking small bites from a slice of toast with jam while looking

Sophie P.O.VI swear we have a problem. Eric and I can’t keep our hands off each other. I chuckle to myself as we lie next to each other panting.“Why are you laughing?” Eric asked, a boyish grin spread across his face.“Us. We definitely have a problem.” I say before Eric grabs me around my waist, pulling me closer to him.“What kind of problem?” He nestled his nose into my neck and inhaled deeply taking in my scent.“Sex. We can’t stop having sex.” I giggled as he started nibbling my ear.“Baby, it was the tracksuit pants and loose top that got me all randy for you.” He lightly pecks my lips before looking into my eyes. “Mind you, it wouldn’t matter what you wore. I want to take what’s mine over and over again.” He said laying kisses up and down my neck. I liked the sound of that. I can’t help but bring my lips to his and kiss him with fev
(Warning this chapter contains 18+ content)Eric P.O.V“WAKE UP!” Blaze yelled.I rolled over and moaned. Was it morning already? I hadn’t slept well. Not after last nights events. What should have been a night of celebration ended up being stressful. I know Sophie didn’t handle it well. I woke a few times to find her shivering. I hugged her and held her close to me. I would have thought my body heat and touch would have soothed her, but she didn’t settle. I even tried waking her, but she was in a deep sleep.“Mate is gone!” Blaze yelled.My eyes shot open. Gone? Gone where?“If I knew that I wouldn’t have woken you. Something isn’t right. Dove and Mate are in pain!” Blaze paced in the back of my mind.I leapt out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. There was no sign of her there. I went to the closet and again nothing.&ldquo
Sophie P.O.VI was shocked. I didn’t know what to say or do. I had already resigned myself to letting Mary have space but now Gary was here, all the feelings of hurt and rejection came flooding back. A single tear rolled down my cheek and I closed my eyes. A soft familiar hand touched my cheek, brushing the tear away. It finally occurred to me. If my adoptive parents rejected me and my biological parents were dead, I still had a family. I had Eric and our pup. I opened my eyes and smiled. There he was smiling back at me. I looked back over at the two disgruntled men sitting in front of us. I sighed and shook my head.“What’s going on is, Eric and I are mates, we’ve marked each other and were expecting a pup.” I looked from one angry face to the other.“Your pregnant? What does your mother have to say about this?” Gary’s face was turning red.“She kicked Eric and I out of the house when we told he
The pack had arrived promptly. They hung around in clusters, whispering and pointing. They knew something big was about to happen. I guess they have been waiting five years for a Luna announcement, and, because I rarely did entire pack announcements, they all knew tonight would be big.Sophie clutched and fidgeted with her hands nervously. On our walk here there had been a lot of what ifs. I tried reassuring her that it didn’t matter what other’s thought as long as we had each other. Knowing this had calmed her a bit.Looking at her now, all I wanted to do was hold her. I wanted to kiss away the fears and worry. I wanted to strip her naked and make her body come alive. Blaze purred at the thought of that, and I chuckled to myself. He wanted me to go to her but she and I both knew we couldn’t display affection just yet. Not with the already large crowd gathering in front of us.As the time to talk neared I began to shake a little. It wasn’
