Carlos DeLuca To say I'm both impressed and annoyed would be an understatement.Impressed that she was bold enough to question me and annoyed with her stubbornness to pry further over something that didn't concern her.“You do realize who you are talking to? Accusing not only me but my brother as well for lying. That is one hell of a disrespect to us” I bit out, eyeing her down with a scowl on my face.“It's not an accusation if it's true” She retorts. I clench my jaw, not pleased with the way this matter is stretching.“Alpha Derek recovered from that deadly wound. If you three have a cure to that then why not give it to Anthony? And why not aware the Pack of the possible danger lurking within? Why pretend—“Sofia” I interrupt her rant,“We don't have a cure for Anthony's wound. You need to stop with the accusations and don't go around telling people about your stupid theories like you just did to Beta Ken”I expect her to stop but instead, she glares at me, unlike the usual softnes
Sofia Vez I grimace, clutching the side of my waist as pain courses through me. My opponent, who happened to be a nineteen-year-old, stopped for a fraction of a second and then lunged forward to punch me again.I dodge on time, then whirl around to elbow her under the chin. A yelp of pain leaves her lips.“Time out!” Angela announced. I looked over to the girl, grimacing instantly at the sight of blood rolling down her mouth.“I'm so sorry" I began to apologize but she waved her palm in front.“I feel betrayed,” She says, wiping the blood off her chin then continues, “Man they said you were weak”I frown at her.“Never underestimate your opponent,” Angela remarks, stepping in between to check her wound.“Not bad. You will heal in a few hours” She says before patting her on the back to dismiss her.“Sofia” Angela turns to me, eyeing me down for any injury. She looks proud,“You're learning fast”I smile at that. However, the proud look was quickly replaced with a gloomy one.“Angela,
I don't move, curiosity washes over me as he continues to rant.“This shouldn't happen but… it's becoming impossible to control my thoughts about you”His nose and lips brush against my cheek as he moves down to my neck. I clench my fists, his actions very successfully sparking heat inside me.“And you smell so good!” A low growl leaves his lips. I gasp inaudibly at the contact of his lips against my skin as he trails kisses down my neck.The desire begins to build up and I find myself melting under his touch, unable to resist the surge of sparks that sear through me.His hands move down to my waist, pulling me up so quickly.One moment I was on the floor, another I was pinned down on the mattress with him hovering over me.I arch back as he slides his hand under my blouse, moves up to my chest then pinches my nipple all while using his mouth to paint kisses all over my neck.I can’t help the noise that comes out of my mouth when he pushes his thigh further up between my legs.“Keep m
Carlos DeLucaIt's early 5 in the morning and here I am in the four walls of this mini cottage while my brother leads with the training outside.I would have been outside with him had it not been for the terrible headache that knocked me into a shitty mood as soon as I opened my eyes.I sat in a corner with a cup of herbal tea in my hand which might help me relieve the said headache.However, one thing kept bugging me.The dream I had last evening. As always it was Sofia but it seems like this weird little infatuation towards her is getting out of hand because I woke up smelling her all over me and my room.I'm afraid this isn't just infatuation anymore. It's rather become an obsession. A highly dangerous one.I better maintain my distance from her.‘It's the distance that made you a little whiny bitch’ My wolf comments bitterly, openly showing his distaste for my decision.‘I'm already dealing with a headache. Don't add more to it’ I just begin scolding my wolf when someone barges in
Sofia Vez‘It will be over soon. Just trust yourself’ The woman seemingly in her late thirties is trying to soothe her daughter for her first shift. The girl is stressed and nervous but still does it, trusting her mother.A smile grazed my lips as she succeeded in her first shift and wiggled around her mother, wagging her tail in excitement whilst the mother celebrated in joy.As beautiful as it looks, I can’t help but be reminded of the sad fact of how terrible it was for my first shift.‘You are not to shift ever again. No one should see your wolf— ‘You are weak!’Words that are engraved in my head sting me just as deeply as they did the first time.I sigh in defeat. My life can't get any better. Maybe today or later, Mom and Dad will reconsider Nolan's offer, telling me to be grateful for becoming someone's choice.That's how it's going to be for my unwanted self.‘Let's not be this negative’ Inez says but I just can't shake this feeling off, no matter what.I should accept it.Th
Sofia VezI scroll through my phone, coming across many funny clips in the hope of getting over my sadness even if it's for a short period.When I glance at the time, my eyes widen at how much time I have spent just staring at my phone.I didn't even have lunch and it's already past evening.‘Hey did you eat?’ I mind link Maria. When I don't hear anything from her side, I plop back on the bed with a defeated sigh.Just as I close my eyes, her voice runs through my mind.‘You think I will eat after what happened?’‘Are you okay though?’ I ask, concerned. Maria has been a spoiled princess, especially by Mom so it must have hurt to be treated in such a way.‘I just can't believe it. Although my cheek is telling otherwise— Girl she got rough hands. I never knew’I subconsciously smile at her way of coping with this.‘Now we know you take after her’ I joke.‘Hey’ I call out softly, ‘About the academy thing— I appreciate that you tried to help’‘Yeah whatever— You know what, maybe you shoul
Carlos DeLuca True to my sister's words, Sofia and Maria are tagging along with us. There's some unknown tension between these two which leaves me puzzled. As far as I know, this was supposed to be a ride full of joy for them but it seems one is trying too hard to look excited and the other is fully zoned out, almost looking depressed.I can't help but blame myself for Sofia's behavior. Perhaps she is quiet because of me.‘Of course dimwit! You scared her away. How else is she going to react in your presence? Go all goo goo gaa gaa over you?’My wolf snaps. He who once was excited to ride with her is now cranky because she is awfully quiet and hasn't paid us an ounce of attention.‘I did that for a reason. You know that’ I defend myself but deep down I regret it.‘Then suck it up and stop pointing out that she is depressed or whatever. It's only making me more mad’ He hisses before shoving himself into the depths of my mind.I internally groan in frustration.I can't help it that her
Sofia“Your lips look a little— off” Maria murmurs, gazing at my lips just as I buckle myself.I flush, “I don't think so— maybe my lipstick faded because of food.” I giggle nervously under her scrutinizing gaze.She seems to buy it. Relief washes over me as she turns her attention back to her phone.I steal a glance at Carlos who smirks through the mirror but gets smacked by Belle.I almost laughed.“It's my turn. Move over” Belle says, standing at the door with her arms crossed.“I can drive—“Rule of long drives. We will take turns driving so don't fucking get on my nerves, moonpie” Belle says, her voice crisp.“Moonpie?” I ask, surprised that Carlos has such a nickname.“Isn't that cute?” Belle says, grinning like a devil at Carlos.“Just take over and shut up” Carlos muttered before moving over to the passenger seat.“That's like my passenger princess” Belle feigns endearment, reaching for his face to pinch his cheek.Carlos, visibly irritated with her teasing, slaps her hand awa

I gape at Alpha in shock, how come he is standing here all fine? I saw him in the hospital bed and I am damn sure it was not a hallucination.‘What the fuck is your problem? How can you lie about something like that? Fuck Sofia, that was so insensitive of you!’ Maria yells through the mind link.‘I didn't lie… I saw him myself—‘Then what is standing before us? A ghost?’ She cuts me off.How is that even possible?Maria storms off to her room while I can’t help but stare at him until Mom stands next to me and gives my arm a nudge.I blink, still staring hard with nothing but suspicion.This doesn't make sense. How even?“Where's Rora—Alpha Derek didn't even finish his words when the sound of barefoot thumping against the wooden stairs filled our ears, and in the next second Rora was standing at the entrance.With eyes wide and lips agape, she stares at Alpha. I am sure she is shocked just as I am.“Derek…oh my—She runs straight into his arms, clinging onto him so tight like he will
