Sophia's POV.I was deep in slumber when I felt something go up my thigh. It felt cold and slippery.I shrieked under his touch."Do you like it?". I heard a deep voice groan.I took a raspy breath, hoping to control my now-racing heart. I began feeling scared. Had a dream become so real I could feel it on my skin?Was it Derrick?"I like it too". My keen attention to the owner of the voice helped me realize quickly that it was not Derrick.Besides, his hands were not as dry as what I was feeling.I shot my eyes open at once, flipped to my other side, and opened my mouth to scream when out of nowhere, someone held my mouth and pinned me back to the bed."Hello Sophia", a set of reddish grey eyes stare at me."Caleb!", I muttered underneath his chokehold. What was he doing here? My eyes widened in surprise."Surprised to see me?" He held out a devilish smile before me, wiggling his tongue in different directions. His saliva drooling from his mouth and nearing my forehead."I told you I
Sophia's POV.My heart pounded as I caught a glimpse of Alpha Caleb standing before me. The imposing figure of the alpha werewolf sent shivers down my spine, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. It had been some days since I had seen him last, and I had hoped Brandon would settle him before he got the chance to see me again.Caleb's golden eyes locked onto mine, a mixture of intensity and longing reflected in them. "Sophia," he rumbled, his voice carrying a peculiar blend of authority and desperation. "Come with me."I jumped from my bed and took a step back, my eyes widening with surprise. I had thought I was safe in the confines of my room, yet here he was, standing in front of me like a specter from my past. The memories of their last encounter flooded her mind, leaving me on edge."No, Caleb," I stammered, trying to keep my voice steady despite the fear welling up inside me. "I told you before, I can't be a part of your world. I won't."Caleb's expression hardened, and a
Sophia's POV."You mean my baby is out!!", I felt a heavy block roll out of me again."Isn't it too early?!", I moved uncomfortably as I began panicking, my hands had started shaking at this point and my breath became heavy.The doctor asked me to steady myself. "Breathe easy. You need to take it easy so we can pull through", she urged me and begged me to be calm."I… I.. I can't". There was more coming out of me. I could feel the weight of something moving."The head is out now, you just need to push the baby out.", She turned to her assistant, "We're having a premature delivery, ready the incubator and call the hospital, ask them to send an ambulance".She faced me again, "Breath!. I'm sorry about this but you need to be the one to push this child".A hot tear rolled down my eyes. The nurse widened my legs and tore off my skirt. She said I needed air to touch me."Fan her". She yelled.All the maids and women in Brandon's mansion came out to help."It'll be alright Luna, you can do
Brandon's POV.I left Sophia to rest and went back to the pack. As I walked along the lonely hallway of the hospital we had driven her to, I couldn't help but see many other werewolves from our pack and how hard they were living.The setting sun from the windows of each room I passed made the things I saw even more depressing. I shook my head and tried to pull my mind off the sight."These people are suffering and it is all my fault", I found my hand beating my chest as I tried to suck in a breath.Yes, it was all my fault but more importantly, it was the fault of that bastard— Caleb.He would not listen. The bastard had been so envious of his perception of Sophia and me that he had to attack her.He tried to rape her for fuck sake and that was the limit he should never have crossed."Good evening, Alpha", a nurse greeted me on my way downstairs and I responded."Good evening".I looked down at her hand to find pints of blood. Blood that I had both donated and bought, all because of
Alpha Brandon POV.“Hold him still”, I commanded my beta, “Don’t let him shake”.“Yes, Alpha”. He answered back and then gripped him tight. He lowered Alpha Caleb’s hand on the table while I raised my knife and got ready to drop it with all the might I had in me. “You have no right to do this, you bastard!” Caleb shook his body. He barely allowed a second pass without a fight, “Unhand me or you will regret this for life. Brandon!”.I didn’t care to listen. “Is that all you have to say?”.I had nothing else I wanted to hear from him but making him waste his energy on talking seemed like a good game to play before I eventually sliced through his limbs.“Brandon, I beg you, do not do this!”. His roar turned into a whisper. “I let my wolf take over me and didn’t realize when I did that, Brandon, you’ve known me for a while, I would never take advantage of any woman”.Caleb was right. I had known him long enough to swear that he was a good man, however, after what had happened between bot
Alpha Caleb’s POV.I could not feel my feet. My legs felt weaker with every step I took and my vision started turning blur. I blinked severally as I tried to recollect my vision but it was not working.I was too tired to shift to my wolf so I could run back home and the blood that was gushing might have been half of the one in my body.“I can't…”. I said out loud when I tripped over a tree branch and fell on my face. My face landed in the dirt and I ate shit.I was too weak to get up so I flipped over and began rolling.Every nerve in my body stung like I had a pin in them. My shoulder ached so much it began to feel numb. My neck felt itchy and I was very sure I had lost the arm they had cut off.I was frustrated.“Arrgggghh!”, I yelled. My hand was not healing and it was Alpha Brandon’s fault. He instructed his men to inject me with a poison to weaken my wolf, to send it into sleep for some days. The poison was going to have a major effect on my human too. I was too weak to do anyt
Sophia's POV.Standing beside the baby's crib, I watched him snuggle. He had grown by some weeks now and was taken away from the incubator to the crib."He looks so beautiful". Brandon whispered to me. He said it quietly so he wouldn't wake the child."I know. He has his father's eyes." I saw those big sea-blue eyes blink at me. They were tucked inside his eye socket with long girly lashes to accompany it. I faked a blink at him too and he watched him chuckle in his sleep."Yes. They are the same color as mine too". Brandon's whisper came again behind my ear and this time, I felt chills down my spine."I don't understand what you mean", I whispered back and bent over to drop my child back in his crib."I have said I am your brother, Brandon but I can't help but think about how beautiful you are, Sophia".This was coming out of nowhere.It felt strange. "Brandon,", I looked into his eyes for clarity and tried to make out what he meant. "You're scaring me, Brandon"."There is no need t
Brandon's POV. I stood there, paused in my tracks, stunned and dumbfounded. Sophia had just slapped me. My face was red with shame. My hand was still on the side of my mouth, it still stung.But not on my face.It stung in my heart. She had rejected me and it was aching. I could feel my heart tearing into pieces as the scene that had just happened played in my mind over and over again."She didn't mean it". I told myself."Of course she did", my wolf answered back.. he didn't exactly care how I felt most times, he was there to tell me the truth, even when those truths could be shattering my heart into a million pieces. "Do you need air?".******I changed into something appropriate and walked down the stairs hurriedly. My room was beside that of Sophia and so, when I passed, I heard the shower turned on.She was probably washing my hand off her or my scent.Maybe she might have even seen it as a stench now. I didn't hear her sobbing or anything like that so I assumed she was fine
