Sophia

My face turns towards the right while the skin of my cheek stings with the impact of the slap.

My eyes burn with tears, which I refuse to release as my gaze is trained on the floor.

"Apologize to Cynthia right now!" My father bellows causing me to flinch. "How dare you disrespect my wife and your Luna by questioning her actions?!"

My mother died soon after giving birth to me, and my father blamed me for her death. When I turned three, councilmen asked my father to take a second chance mate because his wolf was going crazy without his mate. Even though he didn't want to, he had to find another mate because, slowly, his wolf was going insane. 

Since my mother was his true mate, he never wanted to give her place to anyone else, so instead of taking Cynthia as his second chance mate, he married her.

Cynthia is what you can call a true definition of an evil stepmother. She hated me from the moment she married my father and made it clear to me that I was unwanted in her house.

But since she couldn't kick me out, she made sure to make my life miserable at every chance she got.

"She punished Emily for no reason." I speak in a low but firm voice, "She is a small child who just took an apple from the fruit basket."

"She stole the apple." Cynthia glares at me, then turns her gaze to my father and places her hand on his arm, "Emily is a child. That's why it is important for her to learn if she needs something, then she should ask instead of stealing. I was disciplining her by ordering her to fetch five buckets of water from the well, not punishing her."

"I even asked Janet to accompany her and help her with completing her task." She sighs and shakes her head, "I am mother of this pack; I am not cruel as Sophia thinks of me."

"You don't have to justify yourself; I know you." Father wraps an arm around her as she softly cries, "This girl is nothing but a nuisance. It seems like killing my Selena wasn't enough for her, so each day she does something that only hurts others." He glares at me with such hatred that the tears that I was holding back spill from my eyes.

"No food for you for five days, and you will work with the omegas for the preparation of a full moon ball." He puts every bit of his Alpha command behind his words while glaring at me.

"Yes, Alpha." Bowing my head, I show my neck in submission to him.

Strangely, Alpha commands never work on me, but I haven't told anyone about this, especially my father. If I told him then he would find one more reason to hate me thinking I am challenging his authority.

I turn and leave the room, my head held low. As I walk through the halls of the pack house, I feel the weight of everyone's stares. Whispers follow me, but I am used to it. I've been an outcast my whole life. I pass Emily in the kitchen, her eyes red from crying. She looks up at me with a mixture of guilt and gratitude, and I manage a small smile for her.

"I am sorry, Sophia." She wipes her eyes with the back of her hand, "I was hungry."

"It's okay, Emily," I say softly and reassuringly.

Emily is one of the orphans of the pack. Her parents died in a car accident two years back; since she doesn't have any family who could take her in, she lives in the orphanage. 

I head out to my room in the packhouse where I live since I am not allowed to live in the Alpha house, ready to start my punishment.

Physical labor is nothing new to me; it's a way to keep my mind off the pain and loneliness that have become my constant companions. As I work, I think about my mother, the only person who might have loved me if she had lived.

And sometimes my thoughts shift to the person whom Moon Goddess has chosen for me... my mate.

My heart clings to the hope that one day, I'll find him, and he'll take me away from this misery.

Something in me tells me that soon, my wait is about to come to an end.

I hope whoever, is her mate, he’ll treat her well. I do believe she will be able to take care of herself. Her dad is wrong, treating her bad for her mother’s dying during childbirth. It wasn’t her fault.

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Epilogue

    The sun spills across the hunter base, soft and golden, brushing over the stone pathways and worn metal of the old walls. It’s quiet, not the kind of silence that comes from fear or confusion, but something calm and still, like the breath right before something begins.Anastasia stands in the courtyard, framed by morning light. All eyes are on her. But she doesn’t fidget or shift beneath their gaze. She wears it like a cloak, one she was always meant to carry.She wears a long charcoal-gray skirt that moves like a whisper when she walks. It brushes over her boots and sways with the kind of grace that turns heads before she even speaks. A fitted black blouse clings to her frame, and a leather belt sits snug around her waist. From it hangs a dagger, silver-handled and sharp, not just a symbol but a reminder—she’s still a huntress. Always has been. Her pendant catches the sunlight, but it’s the mark on her neck that draws quiet looks. Her mate mark, clear and unhidden.She doesn't try to

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 112

    AnastasiaThe ceiling above me is soft and hazy, my eyes still adjusting. My body feels heavy, like I’ve been asleep for days. There’s warmth pressed against my back, strong and steady. I don’t have to turn to know who it is.Jake's arm is curled around my waist.His chest rises and falls behind me, slow and calm. But when I shift slightly, his breath catches.I turn my head, just enough to see his eyes already open. Watching me. His gaze softens the second our eyes meet, and his fingers brush my arm like he’s making sure I’m really here.My throat feels tight.I reach up to touch my cheek, confused when I feel the wetness there. Tears. I’m crying. I hadn’t even realized. The tears just keep coming, quiet and slow, like my body is releasing something I didn’t know I was still holding onto.Jake shifts closer, his hand lifting to catch the tears with his thumb. His eyes don’t leave mine.“Anastasia…” he whispers.I swallow hard and shake my head, blinking again, trying to steady myself.

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 111

    AnastasiaThe grass beneath me feels warm. Softer than I remember. And the moon… it hangs so full and bright above the meadow, casting everything in silver. The whole place looks washed clean, like nothing bad has ever touched it.I sit there, knees pulled to my chest, just watching. Breathing it in. The calm. The quiet. The kind of silence that feels sacred, like even the night itself is holding its breath.It should be enough. This peace. This stillness.But it isn’t.Because somewhere deep in my chest, there’s an ache I can’t explain. A hollow space that no amount of silence seems to fill.And then I hear it.Laughter.Not close. Just soft and airy at first. But growing. Coming closer.I straighten, my heart already racing before I even see them.Two little boys come bursting out of the trees like they’ve been running wild through the night. They can’t be more than four. Tiny feet stomping the grass, hair all over the place, faces glowing under the moonlight like they belong to this

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 110

    JakeHer body goes limp in my arms. Like all the fight finally drains out of her. She just folds into me, quiet and heavy, like finally, she’s done holding the weight of the world by herself. Like maybe she’s ready to let her guard down and just be… held.But I don’t let her fall.I grip her tighter, one arm around her back, the other under her legs, holding her close to my chest. Her face is pressed to my neck, her breath soft against my skin, and it hits me just how still she is. My heart’s pounding so hard I can barely hear over it. The warmth of her blood still lingers on her skin, and all I can do is pull her in like I can shield her from everything, even now.Footsteps echo behind me.My body shifts without thinking. I turn slightly, angling myself so she’s hidden in my arms, pressed safe against me. My back is to the door. My body is between her and whoever’s coming.Mine.The word’s not even conscious. Just there. Fierce and loud in my bones.“Holy shit,” someone breathes beh

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 109

    JakeBy the time I reach the cell, Pete’s screams are gone. Not fading. Gone. The kind of silence that follows only after death.I shift back into my human form as I reach the gate. My feet slow, but my breath doesn’t. It catches in my throat the second I see her.Anastasia stands there, tall and still, right over his body or what’s left of it. Pete’s head lies a few feet from his torso, mouth open like it died trying to beg. Her dagger drips crimson, glinting under the faint flicker of the hallway lights.Her back is to me, but I don’t need to see her face to know.The bond is pulsing with something fierce. Raw power floods through it like a wave crashing into my chest. It’s so much, I have to brace myself. It’s more than rage. More than justice.It’s like she’s found every shattered piece of herself and rebuilt something unshakable.I’ve seen her angry. I’ve seen her bleeding. I’ve seen her broken.But this? This version of her?It’s terrifying.It’s holy.She turns her head slightl

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 108

    JakeI swing my arm up and drive my elbow into the rogue's jaw, feel the crack of bone under skin. He drops, snarling, but I don’t give him time to get back up. I slam my foot into his ribs, knocking the wind out of him, and I move on before his body even hits the dirt.There’s unrest everywhere. Howls, gunfire, growls, yelling. But something about this chaos isn’t as messy as I expect. There’s rhythm to it. Wolves aren’t lunging blindly. Hunters, the ones with Anastasia, aren’t just killing anything with fur. They’re moving... together. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s not just coordination. It’s trust. Real, unspoken trust. Between species that were raised to kill each other.Only one person could’ve made this happen.Anastasia.I turn, blocking another attack from a rogue, slashing my claw across his chest. He falls back, and I scan the trees, the field, the shadows. But she’s not here.I look again. Nothing.Where the hell is she?I grit my teeth and drop low, dodging a bul
