Sophia's POV
I wake up in another cold sweat and tears down my face. The only difference from last time is that Titus didn't come and comfort me. I sit up and try to calm myself down. I try to do those breathing exercises my family always tries to get me to do. My breathing began to become shorter and choppier. The back of my throat became dry so I got up still trying to calm myself down. I walk outside, my vision still blurry from just waking up so suddenly, and pour myself a cup of water. I gulp it down and it helps my breathing a bit. I walk to the front door and see a guard."Can you ask Beta Brody to come here?" I ask through hiccups. He nods silently. He looks like he blanked into space which let me know he was using mind-link. Minutes later the doors open and Brody walks in. He looks like he just woke up."Are you okay Soph," He says looking at me."N-no," I hiccup. I wrap my arms around his body but he doesn't do it back."Soph Titus wont be happy if my scent is on you," he says cautiously."Well he isn't here to calm me down," I snap back immediately regretting it."I'm sorry if I woke you," I whisper."It's okay," he says wrapping his hands around me. I try to back away knowing Titus wont be happy."Titus wont be happy," I mumble."I stay here till you fall asleep," he says. We walk back to my room in silence. My breathing was turning back to normal. I wiped the stray tears on my cheek away and climb into my bed."Thank you," I whisper to Brody. He sat on the arm chair in the corner and smiled. I start to drift into sleep but it was interrupted by a loud crash. My door flung open almost flying of the hinges."Why is your scent on my mate," He voice booms through my room."You idiot! You hear her crying uncontrollably and do nothing so obviously I'm going to do something. She was just about to fall asleep but you dumbass couldn't wait could you. You claim she's your mate but this is probably the first time she's seen your face today. You ignoring her and all she probably so confused but you give no explanation," Brody says obviously mad. Titus' eyes became black letting us know his wolf was out."Stay away from my mate," His low voice says."No. She needs help and obviously you aren't giving it to her. She has panic attacks at night and you can't even help her. As her mate you need to comfort her but your afraid," he says. Titus' gaze makes it to my eyes and his features soften but go back when he looks back at Brody."You're not her mate so why are you here?" He says his low voice getting louder. Brody doesn't look afraid. I don't know why he was protecting me I've known him for two days."You should be thanking me. You would have to deal with her crying all night and sit in your room not doing anything." Am I a burden to them. Maybe I should leave I'm already causing problems."If your not going to protect her...I will," Brody says. It set Titus' wolf off he clenched his fists and swung."STOP," I screamed. Titus' fist stopped a few centimeters in front of Brody's face. Titus' eyes went back to his sky blue eyes. He looked at me and just realized what he was about to do in front of me. He abruptly left and slammed the door closed. Brody looks at me with sorry in his eyes."I'm sorry for that," he apologizes."It's okay you were just sticking up for me. Why?" I ask."You're like a sister to me now. I've know you for. What? Two days? But I feel like I've known you for months." I give a light smile to him."Who ever your mate is, they're going to be lucky," I tell him. He smiles and nods. I lay back down and snuggle into my blanket."Goodnight," He whispers."Goodnight," I whisper back. And finally sleep took me.---FlashbackDay 9"I wish I could make you mine," the man whispered in my ear. He poked my birthmark with a silver knife. I flinch waiting for the burn. When we're young, parents teach us to stay away from silver because it's dangerous to our kind. The tip of the blade broke my skin but it didn't burn like it was supposed to. It felt like a needle breaking skin."SHE DIDN'T EVEN FLINCH," He said throwing the knife at the wall."Sir she's immune we already know that," an unknown voice said. I've heard him before but I've never seen him."GET THE MARK OF OFF HER," the man in front of me yelled at him. He punched the wall that caused him to put a hole in the wall. He let out a deep growl and stormed out the cell they kept me in. The mystery man came out of the shadow and picked the silver knife off the ground. He came up to me and digs the knife in my shoulder. I let out a blood curdling scream as he dug out a chunk of my skin. Blood rolled down my shoulder."We'll see if its gone by the time it heals," he mumbles. He uncuffs me from the wall and walked out. He looks the cell and walks out. I wipe the blood off my shoulder. It soaks into my torn up shirt.---I woke up to someone tapping my shoulder. I gasp and sit up quickly. I look around my room and see Charlotte standing at the side of my bed."I'm sorry if I startled you Sophia," she apologizes."It's okay," I said steadying my breathing. She walks over and opens the curtains. I saw that it blocked a door that lead to a balcony that I haven't noticed before."Would you like breakfast?" She asked. I threw the blanket off of me and shook my head 'no'."Can I just have a cup of orange juice?" I ask."Of course. I'll get that right away," she says and leaves. I stand up and stretch. I walk into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I walked into the closet and it was filled. There was a note on the mirror hanging from the door.Enjoy your new clothes-TitiusI ripped it off the mirror and threw it into the trash. I was pretty pissed at what happened last night. My wolf disappeared somewhere in the back of my mind she was also upset. I walked around and look at all the clothes that were in the shelves and drawers. From formal wear to comfortable clothes there was everything. Read me to pay them back. I made a mental note. I grab a pair of sweatpants off the 2nd shelf and a loose shirt. I pull my hair into a messy bun and make my way to the kitchen. I take a seat on the barstool and see a glass of orange juice waiting."Thanks Charlotte," I smile at her."Your welcome. If you don't mind Sophia I need to get to my duties at the pack house. Gamma Jacob should be here soon to watch you," she says cleaning up the rest of the dishes."Go ahead I'll be fine," I say getting up from my seat. I hear the front door shut closed and I head to the Library. I scan the book titles one by one. There were so many books I didn't know how to choose. I see a book that interests me. Mythology: Wolves."I've read that twice," I hear a voice say behind me. I let out a shriek and jump backwards."Woah careful there," the voice says grabbing onto my shoulders. I focus my gaze on a blonde in front of me. The Gamma."I'm sorry Luna I didn't mean to startle you," the Gamma apologizes."It's okay and call me Sophia please. I'm not used to the title yet," I nervously chuckle."Alright Sophia. My name is Jacob by the way," he introduces himself. We sit down on the library seats and start talking."So what's your story," he asks. I take a sip of my orange juice."My story?" I was confused"Yeah like what happened in your life. You smell like a rouge," he says sniffing the air. I explain everything from Terry to now. It was hard to keep my emotions it but I did it."Wow you've been through quite a lot Sophia," he says."Yeah a lot," I mumble. It's been hell of a week.YayI cannot thank you all enough for reading my book.All the support I have gotten was beyond anything I could've imagined.I'm sad that this book has come to an end but I already have ideas for new ones.The Alpha King's Tribrid MateAn Abnormality.That is what Nicolette is.

Blaire was two years younger than me and had cravings that were quite similar to mine during my pregnancy with Nick, she had dubbed our house her home since she would practically get everything she needed here. Food, a distraction for the children, an older brother like Julian and an older sister like me. Her words had touched my heart and I had nearly cried but Julian had kept a strong hold on me during the whole confession.I had been munching on chocolate banana treats during my pregnancy with Adriana but my mother wasn't having any of it. 'being unproductive and eating sweets, do you want to put on weight?' were her exact words and then she had resorted to doing exercises dubbed safe for pregnant women with me.Donna and Blaire had joined in and Nick and Amlian enjoyed doing them as well. So more than half the time, keeping me fit was a family activity. It did pay off in the end though, after a good month of safely delivering my baby girl, mother had started up my exercises once a
I watched as Amlian did a quick sweep of his left and right before inserting the key in and turning it, a soft click followed. Amlian hesitated, before turning around and looking at Nick, who was also in the middle of nervously shifting from foot to foot."I don't think we should do this."Nick nodded quickly to his older Brother's statement and pointed to the door that had slowly parted. The afternoon sun lit up Julian's study and in all honesty, I snuck in more often than not.I stifled a laugh when I realized what the two of them would have had to do to get the keys from Edwards coat. Since it was December, a thick cover of ice had consumed our city. Making the temperature drop to 2-5 degree celcius, during the day! Another reason why everyone was tucked in warm clothes and long coats. Edward had to take off his coat upon entering since the central heating system had kept our house temperature normal. Julian had it upgraded a few years back, for the sake of our children and to avoi
They had recently adopted a 5 year old from what I had heard and experienced, it was a girl and she was extremely shy. Donna told me that she had been through a rough patch in her last foster home and was still learning to talk to people. I thought she was cute when they showed me a picture of the girl.She had swollen eyes though and a very skinny body, from what I could tell, she was sleep and food deprived. Ryan-Donna's husband- was scared at first, afraid that since he had hit 45 the child would be hard to keep up with but after he had learned of her past he gladly took her in. So far, the two of them and I were the only people that little Ellen had even said a word to. The only thing she said to me was 'hi' but that was enough to reassure me that the child would be fine.The knock on the door pulled me away from Julian's arms and towards the door."Boy what are you doing with your life? Still single?!""Absurd! Are you sure you're not gay?" I giggled to myself as I heard Ryan and
A month later:"So how was it?" I asked.Me and Donna were seated at the couch, watching a new k-drama and fawning over the beautiful people together, while my husband, brother-in-law, father and mother went to interrogate their captive. From what Julian had clarified for me, the man was his fathers right hand, someone his father had entrusted a lot to.There was some tension between Julian and Edward, it had confused me at the beginning but then I had learned that it was because that man had been the father figure in their life. Someone who had, in a sense taken up the role of leading male for them."What do you all want to eat?" I asked.We couldn't order anything since the location of the safe house had to be kept secret and that was depressing. There was a bit of complaining at the beginning but then we just settled for cooking for the employed people of our little group.I smiled at them as my father and Julian talked about something which seemed too intense for me to keep up with and
It was approaching mid night, during the rest of the day we had moved to another safe house, I was in the same car as my parents after Julian reluctantly let Donna drag him away. It was a full on tear fest that we sat through, my father was the most shaken one. He apologized so many times for letting me leave on my own, going as far as to call himself a terrible parent.I had to remind them of what they always told me, which was that every human makes mistakes. That just resulted in dad complaining about no one else being that stupid. After mom and I had managed to calm him down, they relayed the whole story to me.I had known before hand that my parents were involved with the police in the earlier stages of their lives but as far as I knew, they had dropped the profession once I was born. After me being taken away, they took it upon themselves to personally track me down. No matter how long it took.After six hopeless years of relentless searching, on a stormy evening, they were approac
Edward's orders as he had demanded, getting closer and closer to the main door.As we drew nearer, the danger increased and Edward took longer to call for us. He and his companion Lee had to shoot a few men down while we would stay hidden inside the human shield formed around us that would tighten at any sign of danger."Simone!"At Edward's shout, the man to my left ran after him quietly but nonetheless as quick as a bunny. His movements were smooth as he stopped at the corner and glanced around it before cocking his gun and taking a few shots.We waited calmly as a few groans echoed around us and he crossed the hall. A few moments later, Lee- the man who had previously been assisting Edward- returned and occupied Simone's spot. Looking exhausted and injured as he did so. From his tight hold around his own waist I could only guess that he had been shot or stabbed. The men didn't give it much thought and soon we were moving again.Regardless of his injury, Lee looked on-guard, keeping just
Julian had rushed out despite me trying to hold him back, instead he had just kissed me, wiped away my tears and pressed his forehead against mine before promising that everything was going to be perfectly fine.Edward had rushed Donna and Sally into the room soon after, handing me my gun and the bullets before nodding at the three of us and closing the door behind himself.We sat in silence, jolting as a scream or gunshot rang too close to the room. We could hear sounds from outside the window and the door. The window was covered by a thick curtain to keep anyone from even getting a glance at the inside while the light was closed so no one would become suspicious of the room.It was still cold as we sat in frozen fear, hearts thumping wildly in our chests as shadows passed from beneath the door. Edward hadn't locked it because if it was locked, the enemy would undoubtedly figure out why and we would be in even greater danger than what we were in now.When the door to a nearby room slammed
True that he was old enough to not have his cheeks kissed as greeting but Donna had resisted the stupid universal rule by reminding him of all the pain a mother has to go through to give birth to a kid and watch that kid grow up and become distant hurts her tremendously.Mastering the arts of emotional blackmail, she managed to have my husband sit down with her for a good few hours everyday and talk with him about the most random stuff... after greeting him with kisses on the cheeks.It would drain him tremendously, to sit still and listen but he did it for the sake of his mother. Once Donna realized that Julian had a hard time focusing during their little chats, she had me brought in to distract him further.Me and Donna would chat then and Julian would snuggle into my neck, holding me on his lap, my back against his chest as he breathed me in. Sometimes, if he felt extra naughty, he'd do something unexpected, like kissing my neck or biting down on the sensitive spots. He was well hidden
