Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-One: Almost Heard

Sophia's POV

I stood in front of the mirror, gazing at my reflection.

My eyes were tired, my complexion pale. Yet there was a gentleness to the way I pressed my hand against my stomach, the way my fingers lingered there. I could sense something within me… something new… something alive.

I was pregnant with his child.

I tried to smile, but the ache in my chest wouldn't allow it.

I was happy, yes. But I was also afraid.

I walked over to the chair and sat, folding my arms around my body. The house was silent. So silent. Nobody had been to my door since yesterday. Not Damon. Nobody.

But I couldn't fault him. He had too much to deal with. Cara was everywhere. The elders. The whispers. The shame.

Still… I had my right. I had my side of the story. I had my baby.

I stood up again. Walked towards the door. Legs were shaking. But I move. I needed to have my say. I couldn't wait any longer.

I took in a deep breath and stepped into the corridor. Th

    Chapter One Hundred and Ninety: A Flicker of LightSophia's POVThe atmosphere in my room tonight was heavy, as if the mourning had crept into the walls like dust.I sat on the floor in front of the window, knees pulled in to my chest, eyes puffy and red from silently sniffling. I had given up trying to hold back the tears. I was alone now. No one to pretend for. No one to be strong for.The packhouse was empty. An eerily beautiful empty space that once held laughter and promises and kisses that went on into the night. Now it was as if all the hallways whispered secrets that taunted me.And the worst part—Damon didn't arrive.He hadn't turned up last night when I cried myself into bed. He hadn't turned up when I locked myself away and missed every single meal. He hadn't turned up even when the quietness was beginning to asphyxiate me.I rested a hand on my belly as a strange nausea rolled over me once more. My heart thudded with unease.I lurched towards the bathroom, making it only t

  • Rejected By One, Claimed By Another   Cara’s Plan

    Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Nine - The Cruel VisitSophia's POVI sat on the bed, the room filled with silence.The echoes of the elders' words still resonated in my mind. I could still see Elder Myra staring at me—one of disappointment. A Luna with no child. A woman not enough.And I could still see Damon, torn between his duty and the chaos he helped, standing and watching me walk away but not attempting to hold me back. His silence was louder than the roar.My hands trembled in my lap as I gazed down at the ground, my thoughts a raging storm of anger. I had given everything to this pack. My loyalty. My strength. My body. My heart. I had made it through war, betrayal, torment. I had stayed faithful to Damon when even he did not deserve it.And now?And now I was pitied Luna. The one being covertly asked to step back. Not for another leader… but for a uterus.The door creaked open.I didn't have to look up. The scent told her in a moment. Sweet, with the subtle condescension that

  • Rejected By One, Claimed By Another   The Lie

    Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Eight : The Lie I Tell MyselfDamon's POVThe room was silent.It wasn't quiet.It felt like judgment.As if the walls were observing. As if the floor was tallying each step I made away from her.I sat on the side of the bed, gazing out at the space ahead of me, back hunched, elbows resting on my knees, fingers grasping the sheets as if they were the only things keeping me anchored to the ground. My breath was jagged, and I could feel the stinging behind my eyes—but I would not cry.I did not deserve to cry.I stroked the hair back from my face and gazed up at the ceiling.Sophia.Her name hurting in my chest like a bruise that was pushed too tightly.The look on her face a while ago—so serene, so peaceful, but cracked in all the places only I could see. I knew those cracks. I had put them there. Every time I retreated instead of advanced, every time I let Cara fall behind instead of making her get left behind, every time I dodged Sophia's gaze like a to

  • Rejected By One, Claimed By Another   The broke brothers’ discussion

    .Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Seven : The Broke Brothers' DiscussionDamon's POVThe evening descended dense over the pack house like a tempest waiting to break. Clouds rolled in above the sky, blanketing the previously golden air with a dim gray hue, reflecting the churn in my belly.I leaned over the edge of my office couch, knees supported by arms, head dipped. The quiet was oppressive. The house was too full — too full of tension, memory, watching eyes, waiting for me to take my next move. And yet it was empty.For Sophia wasn't there with me.I had seen the tears well up in her eyes when the elders had spoken.I'd seen the agony she fought to hide behind those steadfast shoulders.And I'd seen Cara standing there, shining like she was the Queen of Everything. Like she was the Luna, when in fact even I'd known — she couldn't be.The door creaked open inch by slow inch.Lucas entered.He didn't knock. He never did.We'd known each other too long. Fought together. Bled together.

  • Rejected By One, Claimed By Another   The Relief

    Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Six: You Still Have MeSophia's POVThe door shut behind me with a soft slam, closing me off from the world below. From their gazes. Their whispers. Their condemnation.I stood in the middle of my room, shaking.The elders' words were echoing in my mind — bitter and cold, sharp as broken glass."She is not the mother of the heir."."Perhaps it's time to begin considering relocating the Luna title."As if I were a rag to be discarded. As if my sacrifice, my suffering, my loyalty meant nothing.I dropped to my knees.My hands trembled as I clutched the edge of the bed, trying to remain intact. But the pain — it was too loud. Too huge.Tears actually burst from my eyes, softly at first… then savagely. I struggled to breathe in my chest as I wept as hard as I hadn't since I was a little girl.The Luna.They wanted to strip me of that title. The title I proudly bore. With honor.Merely because I hadn't produced an heir for Damon yet.I should have run.I shou

  • Rejected By One, Claimed By Another   The Gathering

    .Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Five : The Gathering Sophia's POVThe morning sunlight streamed into the pack house like an intruder — warm, golden, and piercing beautiful. I was standing at the window, my hand on the curtains and the other clamped hard to my chest, trying to hold everything together that was falling apart.Last night had not been pleasant. Damon had tried to comfort me, saying the things I so wanted to hear — but his caress, though gentle, was detached. I knew his heart was being tugged in too many directions, and Cara… she was playing all the strings.I didn't blame the baby.I didn't blame Damon either.But Cara? She had known what she was doing.She had always known.And now, she was here in this house — under the same roof — breathing the same air, contaminating it with her presence.I moved away from the window and let out a sigh.The silence in the house was broken by rapid movement outside the door. Heavy feet. Then hushed sounds. I turned, alert and curious

  • Rejected By One, Claimed By Another   A Battle

    Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Four: A Battle of SilenceSophia's POVI didn't know if what hurt me was that Damon left or if it was that he had doubts before he left.The moment Cara shrieked behind her door, her voice urgent and laced with feigned desperation, something within me broke. Damon sneered at me—his eyes stormy, guilty, baffled—and for a sickening instant, I believed he'd choose me. That he'd stay.But he didn't.He left.And I was alone in the hallway, the echo of her shriek louder than my own heart pulses.I didn't get it. I couldn't. My feet were rooted, pinned down by a pain I never thought I'd feel again. Everything we'd lived through—everything we'd endured—all this was the knife I hadn't anticipated.I walked back to our room, closing the door and resting my forehead against the wood. My chest ached. My eyes ached. But I didn't cry.Not yet.I collapsed onto the bed, staring blankly at the cold sheets. We had fought for this serenity—Damon and I. For us. We were su

    Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Three : The Sound of Her Breaking HeartDamon's POVThe voice of hers—high, sharp, desperate—ripped through the walls like claws."Damon! Damon, for goodness' sake! I need you!"It shook me.Sophia's trembling arms, from the previous conversation, gradually slid away from my chest. Her lashes opened, and I could see the panic rising in her eyes. Her breath caught."Go," she whispered, shining eyes."I—Sophia," I started, attempting to calm her before this broke her further. "I don't believe—""Go!" she insisted loudly this time. Her features contorted, not in anger… but in desolation.She turned away from me before I could utter anything else, her arms wrapped tightly around herself as if if she let them go, she would shatter.I stood torn between the echo of the call and the image of my mate crumbling before my own eyes."Just…" her voice shook. "Go to her. You always do."That last word pierced like a spear to the chest.I turned around and left the si
