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.V (Please note this chapter contains Adult Content and is not recommended for anyone under 18yo.)I waved goodbye as Gary’s Maron SUV pulled away from the camp site carpark. I was grateful for his understanding because he didn’t wait around or fuss over me.The carpark itself was almost deserted apart from two cars at the far end. I assumed that they must be hikers. The park itself didn’t have difficult terrain for your bold explorer but it was large and there were plenty of different walking tracks.I picked up my bag and continued south, away from the cars. I didn’t want anyone to be able to find me when I phased for the first time and that meant keeping away from humans as much as possible. With it being Autumn I knew there wouldn’t be that many people around.I walked along a wide track for a few minutes before diverting off into the shrubs and surrounding bushes. After walking for 20 minutes thro
