Chapter: Chapter 123Charlotte McCartney By the time I opened my eyes, the car had stopped moving. “We have arrived at our destination Ms Charlotte”, Jason said it felt like he had already said that earlier, but I was not sure exactly. “This is where I say goodbye”, he said, smiling warmly. “We are at the airport now”, I said, more to myself than to him. “We are at the airport now ma’am”, He told me. Obviously, he had not heard me.“Wake up baby, we're here now”, I said, tapping Kelcie lightly. “Wake up my baby”, I added, shaking her a little more vigorously.“Mommy”, she said, rubbing her sleepy eyes with her palms.“Wake up baby you'll have plenty of time to sleep”, I told her, smiling calmly.“Are we there now?” She asked, a little more awake.“Yes baby, we are”, I answered calmly.“yay! We are here!” Kelcie said, fully awake now. Jason held the door open for us as she spoke.“This does not seem like the regular airport, Jason. Or am I mistaken?” I questioned, with raised brows.“You are not mista

Chapter: Chapter 122Charlotte McCartney“Mommy are you okay?” Kelcie asked, during the course of our ride to the airport.In truth, it was pretty evident that I was not very much interested in the whole display that went on there.“I'm fine Princess”, I smiled, trying to conceal the anxiety and fear which had been aggravated after our appointment with Maketov.“Are you sure mommy?” she inquired further as though it was pretty evident that whatever I seemed to be hiding was not all that hidden.“Mommy is fine my baby”, I said, drawing her to myself this time. It was amazingly soothing holding her in my arms as she wondered exactly what was going on. “Mommy is just a little in doubt”, I explained, minutes into embracing her. “Though it's nothing to worry about, everything is going to be alright”, I added, holding her much tighter to myself.The whole appointment was a total displeasing experience. It was not because of any unpleasant situation or that the workers within the establishment were slightly unb

Chapter: Chapter 121Charlotte McCartney“Oh that's a very splendid choice Madame, but would you mind if I asked you a question though”, Maskatev said, in an exquisite manner.“Oh no problem”, I said. “Go ahead and ask”, The man was evidently not the kind you denied such indulgence.“Why choose the cream colour?”, he asked a simple question, even though it was not one I had anticipated for at that moment my mind had completely gone somewhere else entirely.“I don't know”, I confessed. “I guess cream suits me a lot better. I like it, it's simple and looks comfortable”, I said trying to give an explanation.“But you haven't even tried it on yet”, he said with a little smile on his lips. “Come on, people get her into that dress for me”, he said and almost as soon as this was said, about five or six attendants hurriedly came to my side and escorted me to the end of the room where the dressing room was. The rest of them stayed back with Kelcie.The girls had me in the dress in no time and before I knew what w

Chapter: Chapter 120Whitney McCartney “Hi mother”, I said, as I approached her. “Whitney”, Mother replied simply, without taking her eyes off the magazine she seemed to be engrossed in. For some reason though, I did not think she was really interested in the magazine. It felt like she was only acting to be interested in it just so she would avoid talking to me. I know this because I know Mother. If there was anything really intriguing about that magazine she would have been happy to talk about it.“Or maybe there is something intriguing in it and she is just too angry at me to want to tell me about it”, I thought. The thought of this cut me deeply. “This is all because of that stupid Charlotte that just refused to stay where she was supposed to be. I still don't know what was the need to do a wedding to solidify their stupid marriage in the first place. Talk more of making a big deal out of it so much as to come all the way here, to this mansion to inform Mother and try to rub his love for her in eve

Chapter: Chapter 119Charlotte McCartneyMr Peter Masketov himself along with a chain of assistants were outside waiting by the time we got there. “Mommy is that for us?” Kelcie inquired as soon as we got to where the small crowd of people converged.“I don't know Kelcie, let's see”, I replied, “let's see”, I repeated in my heart. “Alright, let's do this”, I said out loud, as the car revved to a halt, talking to myself much more than I was even telling her. We got out of the car. And set to head on to meet with the small crowd that was already smiling at us, a gesture of goodwill and show of an anticipated presence.“Ma'am”, the driver called back as we were about to join the convergence. “What time will be convenient for me to come back? I already have a time set to return but the boss signified that I inquire if you may want to take out some more time to do some other things before I return to take you to your destination” he said, speaking politely.“The boss, Josh” I thought. Up till now, I had not s

Chapter: Chapter 118Whitney McCartney For the first time in my life I feel so insignificant. This house, this mansion where I was born, where I have always called home feels like a strange land to me. “What is this?” I asked rhetorically, noticing a fading drawing on a small part of the mansion’s entrance. I walked closer to see what it was. “What is this? Why am I just seeing this?” I asked myself as I stared at the fading image of a lion. “Oh it's probably Grandfather's lion painting, the one mother was planning to have redrawn. So this is where it was?” I thought. I had not noticed it in all the years I had walked past that entrance.“Everything feels so unfamiliar. This unusual silence that is screaming so loudly only began after Charlotte’s uninvited and unwelcome visitation. Why did she have to come here anyway? Why could she not stay where she was? Why did she come here? She should have stayed there, where she belongs, with that broken piece of shit that calls himself Josh”, I thought, angrily.

Chapter: Chapter 007Felixo’s povFernando and I had both been so consumed by our emotions, by the chaos surrounding our engagement and our duty to the pack, that we let our guard down. And in that moment of weakness, Sophie had slipped away.“I should have been more careful. I knew she was still struggling to accept us as her mates,” I said to myself, angry at my own mistake. “I should have known she definitely wouldn't trust so easily, not after the way her family had treated her all her life. And now, after everything we had promised her, we had given her even more reason to doubt.”“I can’t lose her. We can’t lose her”, I shook with worry.Fernando must have sensed my spiraling thoughts because he gripped my shoulder tightly. “We’ll find her,” he said firmly. “We’re not letting her go.”I nodded, pushing down the frustration gnawing at my chest. “There’s no time for self-blame now. Sophie is out there alone, and the longer she stays unprotected, the more danger she’d be exposed to.” I composed myself.

Chapter: chapter 006 Fernando's pov “Something feels wrong.The bed is too cold beside me,” I thought, lying half awake on the bed I shared with my brother. “This is the spot where Sophie should be,” I thought again, reaching out and feeling the softness of the bed. “It's empty!” My eyes snapped open immediately. “Where is she?” I sat up, scanning the dimly lit room. “Maybe she just went to the bathroom?” I told myself as I relaxed a little. Minutes passed and there was still no sign of her. I felt a knot tightened in my chest. “Something isn't right.” My wolf stirred inside me, uneasy. I threw the covers off and swung my legs over the bed, planting my feet firmly on the floor. And then, turning to the other side of the bed and I nudged my twin. “Felixo. Wake up.” He groaned, muttering something incoherent, before cracking one eye open. “What?” “Sophie’s gone.” I replied, without mixing words. That woke him up real fast. “What do you mean, gone?” he snapped, already sitting up. His gold

Chapter: CHAPTER 005Sophia's povThe vibration of my phone beneath my pillow was what pulled me out of sleep. Whoever was trying to reach me had clearly been calling for a while. When I finally answered, the voice on the other end jolted me fully awake and instantly changed everything.“Sophia,” the voice said, sending a chill down my spine. Only one person whose voice always manages to frighten me.“Hi, Dad,” I responded, my voice unsteady. He always had a way of making me feel uneasy.“Where are you?” he asked, as if he didn’t already know exactly where I was but I was sure he did. He knows everything.“Uh, nowhere really… just out,” I lied, unable to admit the truth. “Not right now,” I thought to myself.“Wherever you are, I want you back in this house immediately,” he said, his tone icy.“Yes, Father,” I replied softly before the call disconnected.“What a disaster,” I thought. “I have to get home fast,” I told myself as I sat up.Sitting up, I realized it wasn’t just Felixo beside me, “Fernando is h

Chapter: CHAPTER 004Felixo’s POVI was half awake when my brother came in. I had been waiting for him to return so we could talk about what happened today. I know he felt what I felt. It was obvious even though he tried so hard to hide it.“Someone finally decided to come home,” I said, with light humor “I thought you were asleep”, he responded dryly.“You look like shit,” I mocked, ignoring his comment. “What have you been up to? Your eyes look so tired,” I said more seriously this time.“Just doing some thinking”, he replied.“Would you mind sharing what you were thinking about with your brother?” I asked with mild sarcasm.“I don't know man, I've been so worked up by everything that's going on. Why do you seem so calm? Why aren't you worried?” he asked, mildly annoyed by my carefree attitude as usual.“Worried about what brother?” I asked like I was not aware of what he was talking about.“Don't you see what happened today is against our duty? Think about the potential vulnerability this poses to ou

Chapter: CHAPTER 3Fernando’s POV“What's going on with you?” Clara inquired, watching me with concern in her eyes. “Why do you look so worked up? You’re sweating profusely. Are you okay?”“Yes Clara, I'm fine. Everything is good,” I lied. “I need to get some air,” I said, walking away almost immediately, without waiting to hear her response. “There is nothing anyone can say or do to change what I just felt in there,” I told myself as I walked out of the hall. Outside, I took a deep breath. “This has changed everything,” I thought. I knew. “Even if we decide to go on with this pack binding ceremony it's not going to change the fact that Sophia is our true fated mate. It's never going to be the same, not for me and definitely not for my brother Felixo,” I sighed.“But why? Why now? Why did she have to come now? Why did we not realize this sooner? Everything would have been a lot easier. Not now that there's so much at stake, now that everything has been settled for Felixo and I to wed Clara and Claire.

Chapter: CHAPTER 002Sophia's pov “Alpha Felixo” I panicked as I looked up and saw Felixo standing over me. I had never been this close to him. Everyone in the pack knew to fear the Lombado family. I've known them for almost all my life. Everyone in my pack does too. The Lombado Mafia pack was a neighbor pack known for their ruthlessness. I’m not sure anyone in the pack was more terrified of their family like I was. But I felt more than the typical anxiety I had anticipated as he stood there, watching me with eyes that seemed to scan my body. My body trembled for an unknown reason, but I knew it wasn't just dread because my clitoris throbbed with cold. "What brings you out here?" I pretended not to realize that he had been after me when I inquired. I did not want him to believe that I had been avoiding him out of fear of punishment.“What is your name?” he asked instead of answering my questions.“My name is Soph”, I replied without looking at him. I did not want to be there. I wanted to run as far
