Why did he always assume that it was me? No matter what I did, he always thought it was me and I was tired of it. Here I was, accepting my fate to die so that they could live. Asher felt the pain he had just caused me. He was about to say something when I stopped him.“How dare you assume it was me? You always do this to me, Derek. I am sick of it. You ridicule me even though I accepted my fate so that you could live. I Sophia reject you, Derek, as my fated mate.” I said, and the bond snapped from me. The warriors gasped behind me.“You want to know where my mate is? I don’t know because I just rejected him. Even in death, he still chooses to believe the worst in me. As for my mate, you already know, Asher.” I told Zakari it wiped the grin off his face.“But you can’t have them both as your mates? It’s not meant to work like that.” He scolded me. The mate bond with Derek was broken by my side, but it wasn’t for him. That’s why I hadn’t said the rejection correctly, because I didn’t ne
The darkness had consumed me, but I felt a hand grab mine, causing my eyes to open. I had been to this place before, but I couldn’t remember how. Looking at the hand touching mine, I saw her for how she really was, a goddess truly touched by the moon.“Do you remember how you got here, my sweet Sophia?” Her voice rung regal.“I am having some trouble, Selene. It seems that my mind is trying to stop me from remembering.” I was confused as to why. She stopped in front of me, still holding my hand, her other hand touching my cheek.“Will you allow me to show you?” She asked me. Nodding my head yes, I knew there were people waiting for me somewhere. Light shone from her hand and every memory that I ever had from when I was a baby right till my death flashed before my eyes. I saw all the love, all the hate. I gasped as the last memory stopped.“Will they be ok Selene?” I asked her.“Sophia, my child, would you like me to show you the future they have, or would you like to stand over all my
There is not much that I remember about my parents or how we came to this god awful pack. I am told that it was an accident, but I have never believed that. How could werewolves die in a car attack? Nobody knew where we came from. But all they knew was that I was a curse. Well, in their minds, I was.From the age of about four, they forced me into being the pack’s slave. I was the most hated wolf in this pack. The Alpha beats me on a daily basis and now his son Angus is following in his footsteps. Every day is a struggle for me here. There is someone here, though, who always seems to save me. I don’t know who it is? I am not allowed to know who it is.It will be my eighteenth birthday in a few weeks from now and I will finally be able to leave. I already packed my bag with what little things I own. Miss Cindy, the teacher in charge of the orphanage, has been giving me enough money to escape when my wolf finally comes through.See, when we turn eighte
Sophia’s POV Six more months and I could be out of this hellhole, see my parents had died when I was younger. I was put in the orphanage no one wanted to adopt, which I didn’t care about. But for some reason, Alpha Cyrus hated me and so did his son. I would cop daily beatings for no reason. He has tried to beat me down for the last sixteen years, but it hasn’t worked. I will not allow him to break me. He is a d*ck. He treats our Luna like crap; I feel sorry for her, as I know she gets it worse than I do. No one at school likes me. The teachers hate me and so do all the kids; I have no friends there. All I try to do is study and keep my head down. But the stupid Alpha is training his son up on how to beat me in public. No one can actually watch it, except for the sick kids, but hey they are all like that. I don’t feel the pain anymore. Knowing what is coming for me, I retreat into my head. My body becomes numb. I swear that one of these days I will kill him and his son
My eyes fluttered open. I winced from the pain as I tried to move. Not even sure where I was, or what was going on. The last thing that I remembered was Mr Owen tying me to the table and whipping my back. What an asshole. How could everyone just sit there and watch? F**king Angus. He was going to pay for everything that he has done to me. “Sophia, try not to move too much, alright. You were whipped so badly that the whip broke through your skin to your bones. But you have started to heal ok, quicker than you normally would. So I think you will be ok.” Miss Cindy says to me. “Thank you, Miss Cindy, for always looking out for me. I think I would have died if it was not for you. Who brought me here? If I am allowed to ask.” I ask her. She looked like she wasn’t sure if she was allowed to say anything. So I didn’t ask her anything further. Not sure what else to do, I go to move off the table that I was on, but my back itched and the pain was bad enough that I didn’t wan
Derek’s POV“Honey, I need you to go to the pack and see what evidence you can collect.” Mom's voice came through the phone. I knew she was going to ask me to do this. No one else wanted to go and see that a**hole. He was good at hiding all evidence, well I just felt that he had his pack too scared to come forward. My beast was stirring for the first time in a while.“Mom, seriously, there must be someone else that can do it. You know I will kill him if it comes down to it. But you know I don’t want to kill anyone else after what happened.” I sighed, blocking out the memories of that horrible night. I could never take back what happened, but I knew I would not do it again unless there was enough evidence.“Derek, no one blames you for what happened. But you had reason to do it. They killed your mate and your father.” I could feel the sadness from Mom without her even having to say anything.“Ok Mom, I will do it for you. But it still doesn’t mean that I am ready to come back. I will ke
Sophia’s POVThe blackness was still there, but it felt different now. It was like something was happening to me, something was running through my entire body, fixing me, making me powerful.“Just hold on Sophia. I am your wolf, Bria. You must fight the darkness. We are almost there. We are one of the last of our kind, Sophia. We have super strength and live longer than most wolves. We are quicker than most. We are the last bloodline of the original werewolves, Sophia, so you must survive. It is your destiny.” Bria says in my head and I could feel the ancient blood coursing through my veins.“That’s why my parents were killed?” I said out loud in my head.“Sophia, that I do not know. There is more to us, but I don’t know what it is. But it made everyone hunt us down and kill us all. But if you die, then you will never know. You need to survive to reject our mate.” She said to me.“Who is our mate?” I asked her.“One of the ones that did this to us, Sophia. You must reject him so we ca
I could sense that something was wrong with Jarrod, Adeline and Carla as they were running silently beside me, I had rejected the pack but somehow I could still link with Jarrod but what I didn't expect was to be able to hear the conversation between Jarrod and Adeline.“She is different, Jarrod. Are you sure you want her to come with us? She might be the reason to slow us down.” Adeline said to Jarrod. Jarrod slowed down as no one was in thier wolf's form yet.“Jarrod it's ok. I was never going to come with you. I owe you my life many times. I will lead them off as far as I can. So you can get out of here with your family. If you ever need me, please come and find me and I will repay the favour." “But how did you know? Sophia, I am sorry to do this, but my family is everything to me.” It was like he was trying to find an excuse to leave me, but I owed him my life.“Goodbye Jarrod.” I said to him through the link we still shared, and I took off in the other direction. After all, the
