DOMINIC. "Sofia!" She was standing in front of Luna Nadia and spun around to look at me the moment I called her name. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I didn’t mean to sound rude, but I was disappointed she risked going in here for whatever reason because the danger was still lurking somewhere. And the last thing I wanted was for harm to come her way. I was waiting for her reply, but instead, she launched forward as her arms flew, wrapping them around me as her face slammed into my chest. I was so caught off guard that we staggered a bit backward before I was able to balance us. My own arms wrapped around her body as she snuggled against me. "Beta Dom!" Her voice was as sweet as my favorite wine. Gone was the animosity in her voice whenever she tried to piss me off. "Ahem…" The Luna cleared her voice, drawing my attention to her. "That’s my cue to leave. Go take some private receiving room. Warriors are coming in and out, so you won’t be disturbed." She smiled teasingly before
SOFIA. "Where are you?" Katarina’s voice over the phone was laced with worries, but I knew she was also trying to restrain herself from snapping at me. After Dominic and I talked, he told me he was not letting me leave the territory without him, and because he couldn’t leave and drive me home due to the task he had at hand for the arrival of many Alphas tomorrow, that meant I would be staying here - which I didn’t mind at all. "Relax. I’m safe. I’m in Silver Moon territory." "That’s what Beta Daniel told me, but why was I not informed ahead of time? I just went on training and when I came back, you and Darvin were gone." "I’m not sure where Darvin is, but I had to see Beta Dominic." "What’s going on?" "I can explain later…" "You better!" I giggled as Dominic pressed his lips on my forehead before he sat back in his chair. We were inside the office at the training building where he needed to fix some things. We still have a few hours before dinner. "Relax. Why don’t you come
SOFIA. I crushed my lips against Dominic’s, stopping him from saying more words because there was no way I would not have him inside me tonight. And just as I was hoping, he didn’t try to stop me from doing what I wanted. My legs snaked around his hips as he walked us to the bathroom, depositing me on the toilet counter before he prepared the shower for us. My pussy was throbbing hard just by looking at him. He was moving flawlessly, and the fact that his chest was bare was making me giddy. He had all the right muscles in all the right places, and I couldn’t believe how lucky I was that he wanted me as his chosen mate. I bit my bottom lip, my hands clutching the counter edge as I watched him walk back to where I was. He stopped in front of me and, without uttering any words, began to unbuckle his belt, making my eyes widen in anticipation. He was stripping in front of me, and I couldn’t help the gasp that came out of my throat the moment his cock sprang free from his boxers. Oh,
SOFIA. I lay on my side and watched as Dominic’s chest rose and fell. We settled into bed after the wonderful moment we shared in the bathroom, and I eventually fell asleep. But I woke up before the sun was up and was now reveling in the god-like man sleeping beside me. I had no idea how Darvin would take this. I told him I would pay the Beta a visit, but I never told him I would stay here. And here now, I don’t think I will be able to get away from him. I didn’t want to. Being in his arms felt surreal, but I knew this was what or where I wanted to be. I let my eyes wander to Dominic’s perfect features. He was sleeping peacefully — he had one arm under his head and another arm snaked around me, where my head was resting while my legs were entangled with his. I raised my hand and trailed my fingers down his chest, still mesmerized by the hardness of his chest. He was ripped in all the right places, and I felt so lucky because I was the only one allowed to run my hands all over him.
DARVIN. I went home late last night only to find out both my sisters were gone from the packhouse and were already at the Silver Moon territory. I knew Katarina was planning to head there early today, but with Sofia, who probably had no intention of coming home yesterday and being the good sister that she had always been, Katarina probably decided to follow her there. But both my sisters had never slept anywhere else in all their lives except our home. And if I wasn’t so exhausted last night, I would have driven directly to Riley’s pack just to make sure they were both safe. But I didn’t have the strength anymore to keep my body alive the whole night, especially when I haven’t been able to sleep lately. So here I was, after just four hours of sleep, making my way to Riley’s packhouse. I knew Sofia and Dominic wanted each other, but I was a bit hesitant — they were not fated mates. But looking at them together proved me wrong. Regardless of whether they would end up as fated mates or
SOFIA. We were almost done rounding all the borders when another car approached the northern border just as we were readying ourselves to leave. Dominic’s mood suddenly changed. For a moment, I was terrified that something dangerous was approaching. It was only when he mentioned that it was Alpha Jacob’s car that I started to relax. Maybe he just didn’t like the Alpha or wasn’t expecting him since he told me earlier that all the Alphas that needed to be here were already inside the territory. The moment the car stopped and the men patrolling began checking the car, Dominic let go of my hand and walked to the Alpha’s car. The driver’s side window rolled down, and I saw the handsome man driving the car, smiling and speaking with Dominic. If he was Alpha Jacob, he was indeed handsome, as Katarina told me, but he was nothing compared to Dominic. But I didn't have time to dwell on the handsome men before me because I was a bit disappointed that this time, Dominic didn’t introduce me
DARVIN. Many things happened in the last three weeks, but the threat of Achilles was still looming in the air. But at this point, I was thankful that my sisters have their mates to rely on now for their protection. Sofia mostly stayed at the Silver Moon Pack with Beta Dominic. There were days they would come here and stay for the night, but mostly, because of his duty as Riley’s Beta, they had to be there. Katarina, on the other hand, would be moving out today and transferring to Lucas’ territory. The packhouse would be empty without the females I spent my whole life trying to protect. I knew no one would fill the void that they would leave, but I would never use it as an excuse to hold them back. My sisters would be better off with the males that loved them and could protect them when I couldn’t. I was notified that Lucas’ car had entered the territory as well as Dominic’s car. Lucas would be picking up Katarina while Sofia and Dominic would come to see her off and meet up with m
DOMINIC.I took Sofia to her room and we stayed there until she fell asleep, sobbing in my arms. Darvin's revelation hit her hard. She was inconsolable. Darvin had been the father figure she looked up to since her father's death when she was eleven. And she couldn't accept that she might only be left with limited time with him. She kept asking why, of all people, it had to be Darvin. She kept telling me how Darvin didn't deserve this, how he was the perfect brother and it was unfair if our pups would never even get to meet him. She didn't want to believe the Goddess could be this cruel. And I was just loss for words. I knew no matter what I told her, it would not help lessen the pain. So I just held her and promised her I would be with her every step of the way. We would do our best to find a cure. I was not familiar with acresia. I had only heard things about it, so I was not sure where to start, but I would not let Sofia carry this burden alone.I tucked her safely under the blank
