Sophia’s POVLars came over to me, putting a hand on my shoulder. I flinched at his touch.“Soph, you're ok. They won’t hurt you anymore.” He said, trying to comfort me. I know he did nothing to me and that the guys that did are now dead, but I couldn’t help it.“Soph, you need to be stronger. You are stronger than this. Look at what you just survived. We can do this. I have your back.” Bria chimed in my head. I knew what she was saying was right, but we had just got out there and I wasn’t ready to be strong yet.“What did they do to you Soph?” He whispered to me.“I’m not ready yet, Lars. I can’t. Three months. It took you all three months to come and find me. But what I don’t understand is why you came for me?” I was struggling to keep my anger down.“But Soph, we were looking for you this entire time. There were no leads. It was King Asher that came across a rogue who had seen you.” So there was one missing. How could we be so stupid? This asshole needed to die, as well. The faces
Derek’s POVShe was never going to talk to me again. She blocked the mate bond as soon as I saw her. Honestly, I don’t blame her. The things she said they did to her. My blood went cold. I was trying everything I could to not rip through the jet. I had been so close to losing it.My soul was shattered. I would never be able to forgive myself. Her soul and body had been shattered because of what Olivia had done. She would never have gone back to the house by herself. I would have been there to save her. How was I meant to help her with this? The way she looked when she had torn apart the man that hurt her. She was feral, like her beast had completely taken her over. Lars brought her back. I was trying to give her some space, but I was worried about her.She went to the doctor a few hours ago. I have been waiting for her to come back so I could take her to Olivia. Maybe once she understood, she might talk to me. If she could talk about what happened to her, then maybe I could share some
Sophia’s POVOlivia had nearly succeeded in killing me, almost making me lose my Derek. When I nearly died it was like I was in limbo, replaying the worst moments of my life, but also the happiest moments. The funny thing was, the happiest I had ever felt was when I was with Derek. I saw the future we could have had with our babies. It was Olivia who was the poison. Every word they whispered to me, I heard them. It took me a long time to break away from the limbo because my baby that had been killed was with me. He stayed the entire time with me, never leaving my side. We had watched our life and what it would have been. He was like his father, but we both knew when it was his time to go and be with the Goddess. I was forever broken, never to be fixed again. The things in this world had made me suffer. I would never be the same, but I made a promise I would love his father with everything in me.“Derek, come on, I want to go home and eat something. I think we need to talk, but I don’t
Sophia’s POV“Lets go for a ran. Let our Lycans get acquainted with each other. We will take today to rest but I know your Mom is sick, your workload must be insane at the moment babe. You need to fill me in on what has been happening.” Derek looked at me like he just wanted to stay here and forget about everything else, but that is not what we signed up for. I would make sure that we would put every piece of shit that hurt anyone or planned on hurting anyone to death.Standing up from Derek, he whined, which made me smile. He was still in there, and I was determined to bring him back.“Ready Bria. You and Jerek have fun. You deserve it.” I said to her as she pushed forward, taking control. She shifted into her form, standing as tall as Jerek. She was fluffier than a Lycan, which was the wolf coming out in her. Her face was softer, more like a wolf. She was unique. She wanted to test herself to let her new form loose. Jerek’s form was magnificent. They ran around for hours, letting th
Derek’s POV The last few weeks had passed with no incidents. Soph had recovered fairly well. The pack was happy that she was ok and awake. No one brought up what happened to her, but you could feel the sadness through the pack link. She announced to the pack what had happened to her and the fact that she might not be able to have another baby. They were ok with this. We would work something ok, I told her about adopting and she was open to the idea. Mom was not getting better. She had stepped down from most duties, so Soph and I had picked up where we could. Brooke never left Sophia's side. They had become inseparable. I had suggested that she ask Brooke to become her Beta. Lars and Zac were never too far from us, as well. They had both taken to being my equal Betas. The elder council had been happy with the suggestions that I put before them. The attacks were becoming more frequent. They were still attacking the outer packs, because they had not been able to break through the lines,
Sophia’s POV I had never seen Derek in so much pain before. It's been days, and he still hasn’t come back yet or let anyone know he is ok. There were a few times they let their guard down. I knew Jerek had control, but he was in full beast mode. I couldn’t even reach Derek. Beatrice had not improved in her condition and from the way Derek had taken off, I think she would not recover. My heart was aching for him. I needed his touch, needing to know he was ok, but I knew he needed to do whatever it was they were doing to cope with losing his Mom. I had taken over the duty of running the Kingdom without the both of them, which was time-consuming. All in all, it was a good thing for me at the moment. The attacks were continuing with one happening every few days now. I needed to get down there and see for myself what was happening. Brooke was going to come with me. If Derek wasn’t back in a few days, the boys would stay here running things. It wasn’t ideal, but from what I had learnt, we
Sophia’s POV“What the fuck just happened, Bria?” I asked her, but she was preparing herself as the rogues that surrounded her tried to strike, a few of them lunging at her from different sides. Kicking two from behind with her hind legs, she sent them flying into the circle of rogues around the injured pack members. Killing all the rogues that had surrounded us by ripping their throats out before any of them could figure out what happened. The body count of the dead was building. She let out a howl towards the sky, thanking the Moon Goddess for her new powers.Power surged through her wolf form. She was powerful in this form, standing as tall as the Lycans. Her anger fall towards the rogues that were trying to get past the few fighters that we had left. As if time had stopped itself. I felt power and something that I couldn’t quite describe happen at once. Everyone had slowed down, barely moving. She used this to her advantage. Running through the circle of rogues tearing their chest
Derek’s POVThe Moon Goddess had truly outdone herself with this creature. She was so tender with Mary. We had stayed with her for a few hours whilst she grieved in Sophia’s arms. But what had we missed? When had she been able to shift into a wolf as well? Jerek howled in my head when he had seen just how beautiful Bria had been. I don’t think even Soph knew what she had looked like. She stood as tall as Jerek would be in his Lycan form. She was as black as the night sky itself but also had a glow to her, like the moon itself was shining from her. Her eyes were the shape of the crescent moon. She truly had been touched by the Goddess herself.She was in the shower. I could sense how the shower was calming her. She had missed us just as much as we had missed her, but after hearing Mom’s voice for the last time Jerek had turned full beast and just needed to tear things apart. Sophia couldn’t see that side of us, not after what she had just been through. “Soph, baby, I am just going to
