Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha's Desire and the Dragon's Fire: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

*Sophia’s POV*Likely because of guilt, Thale reluctantly agreed to my demands. The next day I was back in London. I’d decided midday would be the best time to go. I’d already gone to reception to ask where the students in year 11 would be eating their lunch. I found Jack eating in his form room alone.“Jack!” I called out.Shock spread over his face when he saw me. The sandwich he was eating falling from his hand.“Sophia! What…how?” He ran over to me, almost knocking me to the ground as he flung his arms around me. “Are you okay? I’ve been so worried.”I returned his hug, but only briefly. I wanted to get him out now. “I’m okay Jack, but we need to leave straight away. Danny is dangerous.”Jack let go of me like a hot brick, confusion spreading over his face. “What do you mean?”“I don’t have time to explain right now, we nee

*Sophia’s POV*Some hours later, I heard the sound of the lock click again. Appearing on the other side was Danny, a steaming pizza box in his right hand.He looked at me cheerfully, as if it was perfectly normal for me to be locked away in the attic. “Dinner! Come on, get it while it’s hot.” He placed the box on the table, opening the lid and grabbing a slice for himself.I joined him, unsure yet of what he might do if I refused. I was also hungry. If I was going to think of a way to escape, I needed my strength. I took my own piece and began to eat.He watched me closely, clearly approving that I was eating without protest. “There’s a good girl. You’ll feel better once your stomach is full.”We ate the rest of the meal in silence. I guessed Danny was waiting till after to begin the interrogation. Sure enough, once the box was empty, he sat back with a satisfied sigh. “That’s better right

*Sophia’s POV*Mack attempted to stop her from continuing. “Denise, now is not the…”“Keep your mouth shut, Mack. Unless you want me tell Danny who you’ve been shagging.”Mack promptly shut his mouth, and I wondered why his choice of partner was so significant. I didn’t have time to think about it too much, because Denise was leaning across the table and boring her eyes into mine.“Now listen here bitch, I couldn’t give a shit whether or not you want to be here, but you need to know about the kind of sacrifices this pack has made to make sure you ass is in this damn house.”Mack went a little pale. I’d never seen him like this before. “If Danny finds out…”“What the fuck did I just say, Mack?” She spat her words at him. He went silent, but I could see the way he was shifting awkwardly in his seat. Whatever Denise was about to tell me, was

I was no doctor, but even I knew this wound was not healing well. Danny had provided me with some balm to rub on it every few hours. This reduced the pain for a while, but my skin showed no signs of recovery. The area around the mark was an angry red, and the mark itself continued to weep. It was truly disgusting, and I had no idea what to do about it. For the past two days, Danny had kept me locked in this room. He only came to see me to bring food and have sex with me. Shamefully, no matter how hard I tried, I could not resist him. Now he only had to look at me, and I would want him. I could feel my grip on reality slipping away as I sank further into his spell. The pain of the injury he’d caused me, was the only thing that anchored me.For the first time in days, I thought about Thale. I was surprised that he had not tried to take me again. Although now I was guarded constantly, it was going to be a lot harder to accomplish. I realised there was a part of me th

As planned, when Jack came to see me the next day, I told a lie. I had considered telling him the truth, but when it became clear that Danny wasn’t going to leave us alone, I had no choice. I also tried not to let on how unwell I was. I’d barely been able to eat since the day before, and the combination of that and the pain was making me feel weaker and weaker. In contrast, Jack actually looked the best I’d ever seen him. He’d put on some much-needed weight, and he just generally looked brighter.When he saw the wound however, his expression darkened. “That looks so bad Sophia. I can’t believe she did that to you.” Jack looked at me anxiously.  Danny patted him on the shoulder. “It’s okay. I won’t let her near your sister again.” He was definitely a good liar. “Our doctor is going to come and take a look in a bit. She’ll have it fixed up in no time.”Jack nodded, but
