SOPHIE POVErik continually kept guard outside my room, where he made sure I was safe and sound before leaving but I couldn't still shake the feeling that I was being watched. Even though I knew that Erik was nearby, I was still fidgety and made sure I locked the door twice before I went to bed. In bed sleep wouldn't come fast enough and I was always rolling for long without falling asleep.I kept thinking about the shadowy figure I had seen in the forest. Who was that and what did they want? I considered telling Magnus, but I didn't want to worry him. He already had enough on his plate. It would just make him further restrict me from going anywhere and I didn't want that. He was even more focused on work and he dwelt on whatever kept him occupied for long. It made him keep late nights which had made me move out of his room till whenever he summoned me there.I decided to keep my own counsel and be more vigilant. I would start carrying a concealed silver weapon with me at all times an
SOPHIE POVMagnus's eyes widened in surprise when I told him that I was pregnant. He stood up and walked over to me, taking my hands in his."Are you sure about this?" he asked."Yes," I said. "I went to see the pack doctor today.""You did what? Remember what happened then, why didn't you tell me? Anyway come here," He finally said, his face breaking into a smile as he pulled me into a hug."I can't believe it," he said, patting me on the back. "We're going to have a baby."I hugged him back, feeling relieved that he was happy about the news. I had been worried about how he would react, but he was clearly excited."I'm so happy for you, Sophie," he said. "This is the best news I've heard in a long time."I smiled. "I'm happy too."Magnus released me from the hug and looked at me seriously."We will protect him with all of our might," he said. "I will love and protect our child with all my heart."I smiled at him. "I know you will but how do you know it's a boy," I said, looking slyly
SOPHIE POVTears welled up in my eyes as I looked at the wolf with the star-shaped streak on its forehead. I knew for a certainty that it was my mother. It seemed that she had reached out to me from the depths of my subconscious. It felt like a profound and spiritual connection and I wondered if she truly was the one."My child, how have you been?," She asked further confirming my suspicions. It was truly my mum."I'm tired of everything mum, my life here hasn't been very easy. I miss you and father. I have no relative here to care for me," I said, nuzzling her fur as I relaxed on her body."You've been strong for too long, take it easy dear. Besides you now have a mate that cherishes you, your life could be worse.""I know you won't like it but try and get along with your sister. There's a reason she doesn't like you,""Don't you think you should give her this same advice. I can't force her to like me. She never has so why now.""That's for you both to figure out. Find out who you are
SOPHIE POVI took a step back, my eyes scanning the room quickly for any weapon or sharp object available to protect myself. Unfortunately, my search proved futile."Stay back. My bodyguard is around here, I'll scream for help if you come any closer," I said edging towards the door which was now shut behind me."You knew about this and led me here? Tell me you're not working for him, shame on you for using Bella as a lure to get me here" I said turning to Zelda who was silently watching us in the corner."No, I'm not. Sorry about that, Bella is at my sister's place today. Magnus is an old friend of mine, we go way back. I made him swear that he wouldn't hurt you, just hear him out.""Like that means anything," I said with a sneer. Jax had hurt me enough in the past so I knew better than to trust him now. I wondered how he knew Zelda, perhaps they had met in the annual gala or she had schooled with us when we were little. Not that I remembered her face. They could be lovers, not that I

SOPHIE POVI was stunned by what Nikini said and was trying to wrap my head around what she had told me. "Tell me that it's a joke. You must be lying. I remember our childhood perfectly, Mom and Dad had always been there in my memories from as far back as I can remember.""Were they? I overhead them talking then. I didn't get the full details but I heard them reveal that they had gone to a witch to wipe your old memories and implant new ones. Apparently, your history wasn't all that pleasant. They were going to tell you when you came of age but they didn't get the chance to do so since they died suddenly in that crash.""No, no, this can't be true. Stop messing with my head. If that's true, that's the reason you've hated me all this while. Because I'm not your sister," "Leave the palace right now," I shrieked at her unable to stand it any longer."Excuse me, you are not seriously asking me out, are you?," She asked in an injured tone, looking offended."Yes I am. I said get out th
MAGNUS POVI stormed out of Luke's office, my heart pounding in my chest. There were voices in my head which were not helping at all, the loudest of them being my wolf who wanted to tear Luke apart. There was definitely something going on between them, I could tell from how they behaved whenever they were together.I couldn't still believe what Sophie had just told me about her family. She wasn't who she thought she was if we were to go by what her sister said. She was adopted. And her sister had dropped a bombshell on her that she might not even know who her real parents were at all."You never know what they're doing now that you're out of that office. I say we tear Luke's throat out," My wolf said racing with bloodlust."Shut up, I need to think" I growled out at him clamping a hand to my head."I've told you that you've been showing weakness for some time now. You're growing too soft.""I said shut up," I said louder, irritated by it's silly voice. Thankfully, it took the hint and
MAGNUS POV"It's been three days and we're yet to get feedback from that P.I we called the other day," I said to Luke who was sitting across the table from me.It was three days after the big reveal on Sophie's parentage and I had summoned him to my office to talk about it."Maybe he hasn't yet found anything, you know this thing takes time," Luke answered, shrugging his shoulders. "I don't think we should get worried just yet.""Even if he hasn't, he should at least have reported back his findings to us," I said preparing to go out."That's true, it's a bit unusual that he hasn't done so, I'll ring up Chandler securities right now, he's affiliated with them.""Better yet, let's meet up with them, that's what I want to do. I haven't heard anything else from Sophie the last few days apart from this,""Alright, let me just call the head of Chandler securities. I know him personally.""You know him personally but you didn't bring it up all this while. We would have called him first to beg
