Chapter 44: The Invite

SOPHIA

I winced partially from genuine pain and the rest for dramatic effect to sell it even more, so that Silvia would hate Lumina more, making it easier to get rid of her faster.

"To be very honest with you, it was frightening when it happened to me. I've never experienced anything like that before. The hatred in her eyes..." I trailed off, my voice wobbly a bit as Silvia picked up from where I had dropped off.

"I can only imagine the horror that you went through. Tell me, Sophia, do you feel safe at all? With her living so close, knowing she's capable of such violence and that she can still snap and decide to commit more atrocities?"

It was a loaded question, and we both knew it. There was no hiding it now. She was giving me an opening to raise complaints about Lumina's stability, her fitness as a mother and mate.

"I try not to think about it. For Riley's sake, I have to believe that was a once and done incident ."

"But you don't believe that, do you?" She as

    Chapter 46: The Compromise SILVIASamuel moved to his own chair, suddenly looking every bit of his sixty-three years as he sat down slowly on the chair dropping his cane by the side as he said,"At least tell Xenois that you've invited them to the family dinner as well. Give him a chance to prepare, to talk to Lumina beforehand and for them to know what they are walking into.""Absolutely not." I sat down across from him, leaning forward as I pressed on. "If I tell him that I had invited Sophia and her son Riley, he'll find some excuse to uninvite them from coming to the dinner. He will insist that they aren't family. He'll say it's too soon, too complicated, too whatever. He'll choose the path of least resistance, like he always does.""Maybe because he knows his wife better than you do. Maybe he knows this will upset her.""Maybe he needs to stop tiptoeing around her feelings and start thinking about what's best for his son." I stood up, as I started moving towards the fireplace w

    Chapter 45: The Matriarch's SchemeSILVIAI set my phone down on the mahogany desk in my study, a satisfied smile could be found present on my face. That conversation had gone even better than I'd hoped. Sophia had sounded grateful and just vulnerable enough to make her sympathetic without seeming weak to anyone else. Perfect."That was quite the performance, Silvia." My husband spoke startling me a bit as I hadn't heard him, walk inside the study.I turned to find my husband Samuel who was standing in the doorway, his arms crossed and his expression was furrowed. He has a disapproving look on his face. How long has he been listening? Long enough, judging by the way he was looking at me and the way he sounded."I don't know what you mean," I said smoothly, moving to pour myself a brandy from the wine glass that was located on the bar table as I added with a nonchalant shrug of my shoulders. "I was simply extending an invitation to an old family friend.""An old family friend who ju

    Chapter 43: An Unexpected AllySOPHIAI was sitting in my living room bored out of my mind. My day had been ruined by that Lumina as I did intend on spending some time with her mate, but due to the situation, I was back home, nursing a glass of wine and admiring the professional bandaging on my burned hand, when my phone rang pulling me out of my thoughts.I immediately reached for it, thinking that it is Xenois who was calling to check up on me as usual. But the caller ID made me pause – it was Silvia Blackwood instead. Xenois's mother hadn't spoken to me since I'd left Silver Creek all those years ago, and I certainly hadn't expected to hear from her now.I let it ring twice more, composing myself before answering with surprise present in my voice."Mrs. Blackwood? This is unexpected.""Sophia, darling." Her voice was exactly as I remembered it, sounding cultured and confident in a way that showed that she was definitely used to getting what she wanted from people. "I hope you don

    Chapter 42: The CallXENOIS "Even if that were true, somehow you think or assume Sophia is abusing her own child and blood. For fucks which I don't believe it is, that doesn't give you the right to implement justice on Sophia. You're not the judge and jury, Lumina. You're supposed to be a healer, not someone who inflicts pain on others."She stared at me for a moment, her eyes searching, mine for something before I saw the light in her eyes dim a little. "You don't believe me. You actually think I'm losing my mind.""I think you're under a lot of stress." I clarified gently as I continued speaking."I think you're seeing threats where none exist. And I think you need help before this gets any worse.""Help." She said the word like it tasted bad in her mouth as she scoffed crossing her hands across her chest as she continued speaking in a bittered tone. "You mean therapy. Medication. Lock me up with the other crazy women who couldn't keep their husbands happy.""That's not what I mea

    Chapter 41: The Accusations XENOISThe drive home felt like the longest twenty minutes of my life. My hands were gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles had gone white, and I could feel my wolf pacing beneath my skin, it was also agitated by the numerous emotions that were going through me.What I had witnessed in my own kitchen kept replaying in my mind. Lumina's face, filled with rage as she pressed Sophia's hand against the burning stove. I could smell the scorched hand and I could still hear Sophia's screams of pain and terror. The way my mate had looked at me afterward – not with shame or regret, but satisfied about what she had done.There had to be an explanation somewhere. There had to be some reason why the woman I'd married, the mother of my child, had committed such an act towards Sophia. Lumina wasn't cruel. She was gentle, caring, protective of those she loved. The woman I'd seen in that kitchen couldn't be the mother of our kid who sang lullabies to O
