CARLOS

The four walls of this very study room I once had Sofia against me, have become the very thing keeping me from insanity for now.

The dim light from the lamp cascading a soft glow on the desk is the only source of light amidst the darkness that's clawing up the room and my hopes.

It's been over two weeks. I have tried my best, searching for her nonstop to the point I fainted from exhaustion, but nothing led me to her.

I sit there, elbows resting on the desk, hands tangled in my hair. Defeat is threatening to crush me down with bitter reality as the silence in the room mocks my failed attempts.

I didn't sleep properly once. I couldn't, not knowing if she even made it alive after taking the silver wound.

I desperately hope that she did, but in the past two weeks, there hasn't been a single rumor about her wolf, which is alarming.

What if she didn't make it?

I release a shaky breath and sit back, rubbing my eyes with the palms of my hands until my vision blurs and my eyes i

    After taking the clothes, I scan the house for Mom and spot her at the front porch talking to Melene. They'll probably talk for hours. I smile and rush back to the bath room in the backyard.I push open the door just a little to slip inside and close it behind.Carlos is already in the tub, surrounded by the steam, his wet hair brushed back, leaving a few strands hovering over his forehead.When has he ever not looked hot?“Something wrong?” I ask, noticing the way his gaze stays on me strongly. Glimmering with something heavy and deep.“You're too far away, and it's not fair when I'm seeing you after half a month,” he says deeply.“My parents are around,” I say, heat rushing up to my cheeks.“I know”“I got you the clothes,” I say, moving to hang them aside. The towel is already there. I turn and find his eyes still on me.“Can you rub my back? My muscles are sore from all the traveling”“Sure,” I rush to him, “I feel bad that you had to go through all the inconvenience to find me,”

    SOFIA: For a moment, I can't process anything. Is it really Carlos before me? I can merely shake the delusion away when his scent hits me, then within a blink, he is too close, wrapping his arms around me and lifting my feet off the ground. Every emotion I've been bottling since I accepted the reality without him just explodes in waves. Goddess, he is here, and it's real. My arms instinctively move to wrap around his shoulders. “Sofia,” the vulnerability in his voice sends a pang of sting in my chest as he buries his face in my neck. I don't know how he got here. I don't care other than the fact that he is here. As I relish in his embrace, his shoulders shake slightly, trembling fingers curling around my clothes as he tightens his hold. “I'm so sorry, Sofia. I'm so fucking sorry I let you down,” he says as he slowly pulls his head away to look at me and puts me down gently to my feet. He looks like he's been through hell trying to get to me. “Carlos, how did you…?” My words t

    The train slows as I anticipatingly tap my feet against the floor. After almost two days of traveling, I'm close to my destination. The countryside station is empty, no voices, no sound beyond the rain tapping lightly against the metal roof overhead. I step out with my single bag slung over my shoulder and boots covered in dirt from the last transfer. She’s out here somewhere. Hopefully. I didn't ask my men to follow me. As much as Derek had commanded his men to help me all these weeks, I can't bring them close to anywhere Sofia is. I rent a car from a small garage near the station. It’s old and almost rusty, but it starts. That’s all I need. I check the name on the map again, one of those 'blink and you miss it' villages, surrounded by endless green. No signal. No GPS. With a paper map and hope that I'm not wrong, I begin driving. Shortly after, the rain picks up. What begins as a drizzle grows into a heavy pitter-patter, blurring the windshield and even wipers don't help much

    After long hours of driving, I finally stop by the two-storey building. The board flickers with neon lights, it reads Musing Motel. The one Sofia told me about. I kill the engine, letting the quiet wrap around me for a moment as my fingers tighten instinctively around the steering wheel. Only if I had come here two nights ago. I push open the car door and step out under the dry heat of the afternoon that presses thickly against my back. I walk up to the front porch and pull the glass door open. The smell of cigarettes and some weird fragrance fills my nostrils as I step inside and take a brief look at the small lobby. A man is sitting behind the receptionist's desk, scrolling through his phone. As I approach the desk, he looks up, expression dull and half interested. "Can I help you?" He asks, flicking his gaze back to his phone as a video of a dancing woman plays on it. "I'm looking for someone who stayed here two nights ago," I state, voice even but firm. The guy raises a bro

    CARLOS A dull ache in the back of my head makes me groan softly. I move around, opening my eyes to find myself in bed. Not mine, but familiar. The memories come back to me in fragments. The phone call from Sofia. Me going to leave the Pack. Confiding Dad and then… My breath hitches in realisation. He had drugged me to stop me from leaving. The betrayal rushes an intense surge of rage through me. I throw the blanket off me and sit upright, but the throb in my head forces me to stop and inhale a deep breath to clear my vision better. “Ughh, I don't have time for this,” I groan, forcing my limbs to move. Pain is the least of my worries now. I don't know how long I was out. Sofia could be hurt, hunted or worse… I shake my head, shoving down the negative thoughts as I slip out of the room, storming down the corridor and ignoring all the curious eyes of guards who look almost on high alert. I stop by one, “Where's Marcel?” I demand harshly. “In the gymnasium,” He answers without m
