All Chapters of IN LOVE WITH THE ANCIENT LYCAN WOLF: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Sophia’s POV.I should have been awarded something for my shamelessness and lack of a strong will. I succumbed to his touch too easily. The moment he planted his lips on mine, I melted away. He rolled over the bed to the side of his bed that was closest to the wall and not too long after, I heard him snoring. It was loud enough to deafen me but I had to ignore it.I tried to catch some sleep but it was not forthcoming. I felt thirsty a little so I opted for a glass of water downstairs. As soon as my feet landed on the floor, I felt Derrick move. He woke up and stared at me.“You're not running away because of what I said, are you?”.I had never thought of that but hearing him say that made me rethink, “And shouldn’t it? You gave me enough reason to, remember?”.“We didn’t agree to be mates and lovers. We agreed to have a son for me in exchange for my protection and a wish, need I remind you?”I wanted to hiss at him but he was right. I said nothing and stood up instead. “I want to gra

Derrick's POV.I was almost there when I heard someone crying in the back. I stopped and retraced my steps to where I felt it was coming from."What's wrong?".It was a little girl, she was seated on the floor, her eyes were swollen and red and her cheeks were puffy. She looked tattered and hungry.She raised her head to my view and then continued crying."Are you hungry?". She stopped and nodded her head. Just as I had expected."Where is your mother or father?", She shook her head. I assumed she had not yet formed the ability to speak. I dipped my hand into my pocket, brought some changes out, and asked her to follow me. There was a shop down the road.I bought her a snack and then a drink to follow it. She stopped crying and was smiling already."You like?", She nodded. I didn't need to ask, I could see the way her eyes were shining so brightly."Alright, here. Take it", as I handed over the snacks to her, my hands felt her skin and immediately, her memories flooded mine.That was

Sophia's POV "Miss Sophia, what are you doing there?", I heard a voice from behind me. I froze. What was I going to tell her?"Can you hear me?", I heard her footsteps come closer to me. Her fingers went to my shoulder and she grabbed me lightly, "Is there something you need?".With a smile, I made a sharp turn her way and faked a cough, "I felt something sharp poke me in my side, I thought I could get medicine from here, can't I?".The maid shook her head. She was the youngest they had been talking to when I was hiding in the cupboard. She must have known it was dangerous to be anywhere near the basement. She pulled me away gently. "Come, we have some medicine in the kitchen. I can get them for you. Here, it's forbidden to go in there".I hissed but not to her hearing, it was my one chance to see what was behind that door and yet, she had caught me. I was disappointed. Better luck next time.As we walked down the pathway, I saw Derrick walking towards me. He looked upset.He stopped

Sophia’s POV.My soul left my body for a second. It took an extra minute to recover from the shock and remind my brain to breathe. I staggered back and dropped what was in immediately.“I…i…I can explain.”, I lied. What could I possibly tell him to make up for being in his basement, the one I had specifically said I would not talk about? He pulled closer, enough for me to see the look on his face. He looked very upset. My heart froze again.Was he going to kill me? Was it going to be here? In this dark basement where no one would even dare to find me?I imagined his rude maids would be the first to forget me. They wouldn’t even care to find me and if they asked, their boss would ignore them and that would settle it?“Sophia. Why are you—I fell to my knees and clapped my hands together as more tears fell on my cheeks. “Please punish me whichever way you deem fit but I beg of you, don’t kill me.”I could feel his gaze on me even when my eyes were closed. My heart raced against my chest

Sophia's POV.He stared at me with no expression on his face, "What do you mean?"."You see… " I slurred my words as they rolled down my tongue. "I was so disturbed about you. I was worried about what would happen, who you are, and the rest of that".He leaned into his chair, "Seeing as you aren't as bad as I imagined you to be. I have decided that I will let go of my worries and be nice to you".He tightened his lips into a smile, "Be nice to me. Is this you trying to bribe me because I haven't reacted about seeing you in my basement?".I pouted. "You already reacted. You kissed me and carried me here so we could talk. I liked that and that's why I said what I said. I will be nice to you".It felt like ice rolling off my mouth and I hoped it felt like music to my ears. I stared deep into those beautiful eyes, almost forgetting myself.For the first time in my life, I was looking at someone who I found handsome and I was not going to be curious about him. "I will be kind to you if yo
