SOFIA'S POV

I wasn't sure how many times I was going to hear how much Dane hated to be betrayed.

Those were exactly what he wanted to tell me minutes ago.

He had sounded so serious and firm, etching fear within me.

“Sofia,” he called, his voice soft. My head raised to him, dying to hear what he was going to say.

“Please, Make sure you do not betray me.”

I chuckled even though I didn't find it funny. “Of course I wouldn't. What makes you think I would?”

My brows creased as I awaited a response from him. “I'm not sure, and I don't think you would, I'm only just saying.’

In those eyes of his, I could see the tension in them. The pain of past betrayal. It was heavy in those endeared eyes of his.

I grabbed his hands. “You've got nothing to worry about. “I am yours now, and you are mine.”

“Really?” His face brightened.

I nodded, smiling. Dane pulled me closer, locking me in a warm and tight embrace.

Suddenly, a knock rang on the door, disrupting us. “That must be the chef.”

He rose to h

    SOFIA'S POV I shuddered.The voice took me aback in no small way. Quickly, I turned my head and behind me stood a middle aged woman.She couldn't be more than forty five years of age.Her face was stern and frightening as well. “Mom,” Dane called, his countenance brightening. Oh, I thought as much.“Good afternoon ma'am,” I spluttered, still anxious. She ogled at me, unshaken.“Who's she?” She asked again. I swallowed hard, anxiety etching deeper in me. I fiddled with my hands as Dane spoke.“Mom. Meet Sofia, my soon to be wife.”“Wife?” She chuckled. A sinister grimace had worn itself onto her face already. “You didn't tell me about her before now.”“Really? I'm sorry about that.”“Sorry? Would that solve anything?”From the looks of things, I could tell she was going to be a pain in the ass. One enemy spotted already.I didn't like this, not a single bit.“What are you talking about, Mom? What else do you need me to do or say?”“Well, I don't know what you plan on doing, but as f

    SOFIA'S POV “Have you gone mad? How dare you speak to me in such a condescending manner?” I chuckled, unperturbed. “I do not think I have said anything out of place, at least not yet.”“Really? I guess you seem to forget that I am still Dane’s mother, and I have the right to reject you as his mate.”I laughed. This time, her words were quite funny and I couldn't help it.“You seem to have forgotten what he told you when we got in. I am here to stay, and that's it. You can do whatever you want for all I care.”She moved closer to me until there was only a few inches between us. “A warning to you. Make sure you constantly watch your back. I cannot guarantee what's going to happen though.“Excuse me ma'am. It's that a threat?”I glared hard at her, my hands tightened into fists.A sinister grin etched on her face. “A threat? No it's not. It's a warning.”She sauntered off, hissing as she did. The door slammed right behind her, startling me.“Gosh!! This is crazy.” I sprawled out on the

    DANE'S POV Charging into the room, my gaze rested on Sofia. She stood panting, beads of sweats cascading down her face.My brows creased as I moved forward. The fright on her face, I recognized it.“Are you alright?” I asked, worried. I pulled her into me, trying to calm her down.“Someone.. someone tried to attack me in the dream.” The words were faded, almost choked by her tears.“Attack you? Who's this person? Did you get to see whose face it was?” I inquired, trying to wrap my fingers around all that happened..She shook her head vehemently. “No, I didn't. The person had a kind of mask that made it impossible to see the face, but I'm certain it's a woman.”“A woman? How can you be so sure?” The words jumped out of my mouth. I was curious, unable to take my eyes off her.Worse was hearing those last words from her.“I'm sure it's a woman. The way she struggled with me was exactly the way a woman would.”I exhaled. A mirage of thoughts crossed through my mind and there was only one

    SOFIA'S POV The voice was quite distinct. I could hear it from where I stood.My face fell in disappointment. What exactly could be the reason why the council members didn't want me to be married to Dane.The more I thought about it, the more confused I became.My fingers tapped softly on the wall as I returned to my room. I couldn't allow myself to be seen by Dane or anyone else. “Hello,” Someone called from outside the room. The door was shut, preventing me from seeing who it was.“Come in! It's not locked.”The doorknob twisted, a young lady at once. She had a charming smile that swept me off my feet.“Hello..” She waved at me. I waved back, anxious. I didn't know her, and couldn't tell why she had come.To make trouble? She didn't look like it.“I guess you're Sophie right?” I nodded, my eyes flickering incessantly. What was happening? She moved closer to me, gently sitting on the edge of the bed. I created more space for her, still quiet.“Yes I am. Who are you please, and wh

    SOFIA'S POV “Hello sisterrr..” a rather loud shriek. I was totally unused to it.I managed a smile. That was the best I could give. Apparently, that best wasn't enough.She jumped into my arms, locking me in a warm embrace. It felt so cringe.. so uncomfortable.I withdrew almost immediately, a sigh of relief escaping from my lips. “I didn't expect you both would be back so soon.”“Really? We didn't plan to stay long though. What's the occasion? You seem overly excited.“Nothing. I'm only excited.”“What's the source of this excitement of yours?” Dane was curious, his brows creasing.“I'm excited to meet your new fiancee.”“Oh. Didn't I see the both of you chatting earlier today?”Selene nodded, smiling. “We were just getting into our conversation when you suddenly showed up.”She turned towards me. “If you don't mind,can I kidnap you for a short while?”Dane shrugged. “Well, you'll need to speak to her first.” He walked off before I could utter a word.I didn't have a choice, did I?

    DANE'S POV I wasn't sure I heard Sofia right. I sat upright, anxious.She repeated herself, her eyes burning with questions. I Swallowed hard, anger building quickly in me. This wasn't towards her though.Whoever it was that had brought it to her hearing surely would hear from me.“Who told you this?” The words slipped through my lips, my gaze locked on her.“Is that really necessary?” In her eyes, I could see fear deeply etched in. Was my countenance frightening?I exhaled, quickly gaining a hold of myself.“No, it's not. I'm only curious to know how you found out.” “Well, since you already know, I won't hesitate to tell you. Actually, I was going to tell you tonight anyway.”Her gaze remained on me, withdrawing not even for a second.“It's true that I've been married five times, and the reason I had to reject each of them was disloyalty.”I paused, taking in every feel of her. “Disloyal?”“That's right. They were either trying to steal from me, or even spies for my enemies.“Wow!

    SOFIA'S POV The wedding plans were in full gear. Me and Selene had that to worry about.The council members had remained quiet since Dane had one of them locked up already. I was sure there wasn't going to be any protest from any of them anymore.The weight of the planning was heavy and soon began to take a toil on me. Dane was a Lycan king, and this means that we had to plan for a lot of people.Accommodations for other Alphas', and those who would be accompanying them. Then even his business partners. Oh my — I wasn't sure it was ever going to end.I was exhausted already and couldn't wait for the day to come by. A long sigh escaped from my lips as I sank heavily into the chair behind me.“You must be pretty exhausted,” Selene chipped in, grabbing a chair for herself. I nodded my head in response, too weak to speak.“By the way, The designer should be here with the dress any minute from now.”I nodded, a bit excited. “I only hope he has done a good job with the dress. There isn't

    SOFIA'S POV Dane kept mute for a few seconds. I did same as well. His countenance did the talking. Definitely, something was wrong.“It's nothin,” he said abruptly, patting me on my shoulders. He also wore a smile.I wasn't convinced though. What is it that had started? I pushed the thought to the back of my mind, making a mental note to ask about it later.“You should go to bed now. The night is Old and you've been busy the entire day.” The energy in his voice — gone, without a trace.I nodded, walking towards the bed. “You should get some rest too.”He nodded. “I will.”I was worried. His shoulders were steeped lower, and his face was no different from a man who had lost his joy.Oh, he seemed to have.With my back against the soft bed, the thought continued to ring in my head. I tossed around until I eventually fell asleep.All was dark… It was frightening too. My eyes had suddenly flung open, only to be greeted by such thick darkness.My entire life, I had never seen such.

    DANE'S POV It was becoming quite difficult. Damn it!! I had thought controlling the mate bond was possible, but I was wrong. What was that behavior I displayed before Sofia earlier?As I sat in my study, the feeling of guilt welled within me. It grew stronger with every passing minute until I could bear it no longer.I grunted, quickly wiping the tears that had gathered in my eyes. My feet tapped gently against the floor as I tilted my head backwards.Next, I was asleep, unconscious to whatever was happening around me. It was the most beautiful moment to me and I cherished it.Boom!! The door dashed open. I was enraged. Who could that be? And to defile my order to be left alone.As I raised my head, my gaze rested on Sofia. She stood, hands akimbo. I ogled back at her, lips glued together.“What are you doing here? I did ask to be left alone.” She scoffed, moving closer. “Why aren't you at the dining table yet?”Her tone. That was the first time she would use it, and I didn't like

    SOFIA'S POV I jerked awake, panting.My life flashed before my very eyes and I surely would have died if I didn't wake up when I did.I fastened my hand around my neck and I could feel the grip on it. Whoever it was had nothing but the intention to snuff life out of me.I turned, grabbing the glass of water on the bedside table, emptying it in one gulp. It took a few minutes before I finally became myself.“Sofia,” the voice was soft, still. It could only be Dane. He stared at me, a bit worried. “Are you alright? I heard your scream from outside.”“I'm okay. Thank you.” I paused as it snapped within me. I didn't remember screaming, so how did he hear me scream?I thought for a few seconds then pushed it to the back of my mind. “It's alright. I'm here now” He wrapped his arm around me, gently making my head rest on his shoulder.My heart pounded hard. I couldn't keep calm. I wasn't sure how long it would take before my confidence in Dane is restored, but until then.“I'm still in awe

    SOFIA'S POV I was having so much fun, right until Dane stepped in. The colors in my face drained within seconds.I couldn't help it. I had no control over it. The doctor's words had stuck within me, and there was no getting rid of it.If it was true that the white wolfsbane was found in the system of all Dane’s previous women, then there was no doubt he had a hand in their death.Thinking of it alone sent chills down my spine. I swallowed hard, faking a smile. I didn't want him suspecting anything, at least not yet.Tomorrow, I will be free to return home. I would start my investigation then. I wasn't sure how I was going to go about it though.“Have you had lunch yet?” Dane stared at me, with concern in his eyes. A soft grunt. “Not yet. Selene was about to order some, when you came in.”He mumbled. I didn't exactly get the word but I was certain he doubted Selene was truly going to order the food. I wasn't sure I could ever understand those two.It was beauty.. funny too.“And have

    DANE'S POV I stood, a sinister grin on my face. The doctor — that good for nothing bastard. What was he saying to Sofie when he got in?Goodness knows whatever it is. Thank goodness he was dead now. I always knew I couldn't trust him entirely.As I watched Sofia eating, a feeling of excitement washed through me. It was sudden, exciting too. There was no explanation though.I was still surprised how she managed to survived the white wolfsbane that was found in her system. Such rare poison, and she still survived.For someone who didn't have a wolf. It was the most shocking thing I had ever seen in my lifetime, but it was beautiful too.Perhaps, the gods loved me enough and decided to keep my wife with me. She raised her head suddenly, our eyes meeting.I winked. And she blushed, carefully leading the food into her mouth, spoon after spoon..We were silence, but both understood each other's thought. It was soothing, pleasing. Only for a short while though.Selene walked in. Crude and u

    SOFIA'S POV I stood, dumbstruck. My eyes flickered non-stop. Nothing made sense — most especially the sight before me.“Nooooo!!” My voice pierced through the sky, loud enough to awake the dead. My heartbeat tripled. I could feel it thumping against my chest.“Someone, please help..” I screeched. I was terrified. No, that was an understatement. The way I felt right then, I had never felt such way my entire life.The door flung open right then. Dane. He stood, his eyes resting on the corpse, then on me. “What happened?” He sounded cold, fierce too.My lips parted, slowly. I tried to speak but couldn't get the words out. My hands shook. My whole body too.“He.. he's dead.”Dane dropped the food he had dropped with him onto the table. “What happened? Please don't tell me..”He stared at me in a way that made my skin tingle. His hand wrapped around my shoulder as he stood next to me. “He.. he killed himself. I don't know why, and neither do I understand his reason for it, but he did it

    SOFIA'S POV I sat still, my eyes darting around. Nothing made sense to me, definitely not the room I was in.My eyes darted around. They bore the confusion in my heart as I remained still. The door flung open abruptly. A nurse strolled in. She was fully covered. Strange. My brows creased as I glared at her for answers.“Finally! You're awake.” She smiled. It was quite contagious, but not to me though. “What's going on? Why am I here?” My displeasure was obvious, not in any way hidden.“You shouldn't be sitting here,” she muttered as I tried sitting upright. A sharp pain hit me hard in the back. I groaned, laying backwards at once.I was puzzled, and this nurse wasn't making things easier. Why wouldn't she answer me? My patience was starting to wane. “Why am I here?” Again, I asked. I snapped. “The doctor will be here soon,” she responded, and that was all. Her lips remained grimly pressed against each other as she did some things in there. I didn't pay attention to it, so there w

    SELENE'S POV This is the first time you'd be hearing directly from me. I'm the only one in the right state of mind to do so though.Sofia was unconscious, fighting for her life. Dane was a shadow of him, broken by the causality that had befallen his wife.I sat in a corner, my hands fiddling against each other. The tears grew in my eyes. For the last hour, they had flown freely down my face…No attempt did I make at stopping them. An hour, and Sofia was still in the theatre.“We would have to operate on her,” the doctor had said to Dane and I after Sofia's examination. “She's been poisoned.” His voice had been cold. “A rare kind of Wolfsbane. We would have to operate on the queen.”Dane’s face had grown cold. He was terrified. Who could have done that to his wife? “Please do everything you can to save her.”It felt like an entire day had gone by since then. I was impatient. Seeing Sofia alive and well was all I wanted.“She'll be fine.” My arm wrapped around him. He snorted, his hea

    DANE'S POV The name seemed to ring a bell, or maybe I thought it did.“No, I don't.” I smiled as Sofia flung the question in my face. We remained in each other's arms and the long for her intensified. My cock had grown hard, pressing hard through the trousers I wore. No doubt, Sofia could feel it against her thigh.Right then, my belly made a loud rumble. Sofia raised her head to me, laughing. “That was loud, wasn't it?”“You should ignore it.” “You sure? Have you had anything to eat today?” She asked, a worried grimace on her.I shook my head. “I can eat after I have eaten.” I leaned closer, my lips sucking hard at her neck. She giggled, a soft moan trailing from her lips. She pushed forward, her boobs pressing hard against my chest. Her nipples stood taut, pleading to be caressed.I latched at them, fondling with reckless abandon. She giggled, wincing. “Do you know what I'm going to do now?” I whispered gently at her, nibbling at her ears.“Oh I do.” Her eyes rolled. Just the wa

    SOFIA'S POV Soon, it was the close of school. I was pleased, and happy too. Quite exhausted and warned nothing but to relax. Selene was done with her class too. She smiled as she approached me, picking her steps one after the other.“So how was your first day at school, generally?” Her hand held mine— warm and tender. I exhaled, my eyes filled with a strange joy.“It was nice. Really really nice. It would be lovely coming here everyday, or what do you think?” Silence. Then a deep sigh. I knew what that sigh meant though.“I can bet you'd soon get tired of coming here. You're only this excited before it's the first time after a long while.”I giggled. She was right, but not entirely. I could never get tired of studying, or even coming here to the school. There was this happened that came with being here.“Maybe. Maybe not. Waiting till that moment to find out would be better…” “I'm a bit hungry. You?” I clutched my stomach, my lips pouted. “Same here.. we can grab some food at a r
