Sophia's POV"Trent! Rex!" He yelled, and the two mentioned wolves were here almost immediately. I sensed an ominous presence, and I don't even need to guess who it was. There is only one wolf here who loathes me. Well, maybe, at least obviously. Aside from Joey Kugs too, I think. The one who kept on bothering Sandra.I hang my head in the big bucket again. Thank goodness, at least they had a huge bucket here in the bathroom before locking me outside! Or else, well, I'd probably be sleeping in the bathroom, hugging the fucking toilet.I was super famished last night and wanted to come out, but it was suddenly locked! My hands were trembling and my throat was dry, which is why I couldn't even ask for help. Goddess knew how much I wanted to get out of here. It's so suffocating! The window is freaking cute for fresh air to come in and out.I didn't even notice someone locking it because I slept like a newborn due to the fact that I'm completely weary. From hunger, the freaking mind-link
Sophia's POV"W-why do you have something like this here?!" I interrogated him, wide-eyed.There was dead silence across his room. It was really awkward, so I shook my head forward and bulged my eyes again. Motioning for him to speak."I bought it," he nonchalantly revealed, leaving me bewildered."Wharever do you need this for?" I looked at him with skeptical eyes. He sighed and slightly opened his mouth. "What's with that look? I bought it for you."Taken aback by his statement, he took that moment to place the paper bag in my hands. Went to his bathroom and opened the shower to check its temperature. At that time, I picked up the underwear and looked at the size. Of course, if it's too big or small, however should I wear them right? After I did, I put it back in its package.I was still staring at the paper bag as he reappeared in front of me. "What is it, now? Just ask away, Addison.""When did you buy this? And h-how did you know..""Know what?" He cocked his head sideways while
Spphia's POV"The nerve of this girl.." Tilly quietly whispered. Carter glared at her, and she yelped. Seems like only me and Carter could hear those little murmurs of hers."You will stay here at my side, Addison. Mother had her own office, but I needed you here.." He spoke with pride. Beta Trent and Gamma Rex's eyes widen in shock at the sudden 180ยฐ change of attitude of their young master. Well, if they only knew how much more capricious Carter really is. One minute we're at each other's throats, and the next second he'd be sweet to the point that I almost blame myself sometimes. But I'll never forget the pain, of course. Besides, he obviously just plainly needs my help because what the fuck are all of these papers on his desk!?!I nodded at him and sat in a leather chair near the center table. Waiting for him to hand over some documents. Carter raised his brows at me and said, "Is that what 'by my side' means?""No, but where on earth would I sit there?" I pointed to the desk with
Sophia's POV"..I'm willing to forgive you for now. I may not know the reason, but it must be too deep for you to share.." I added, and he just stared at me with his mouth slightly open.What's he so surprised about? I'm the one who's quite perplexed! I'm only doing this for Lia, after all.'Falling for me now?' I smirked, using his words against him. Carter scoffed as he looked away. He muttered, 'You wish!' in the mind-link."Thanks.." he mumbled after silence consumed us once again. I just nodded slowly, and we resumed eating.Once we were done, he stood up and placed his hand in front of me. Indicating that he wants to help me stand up."Please.. I can manage.,""I insist. Luke wants to make it up to Lia," he demanded."In that case.." That was the last words I uttered as I let Lia take the reigns. She was hesitant at first, but I assured her that it was going to be fine. Lia is used to walking around taking the reigns in Crescent Moon, but this is the first time I'm really letting
Sophia's POVHe closed his eyes as he let out small bits of his pheromones. Calming me down before I could ever bicker and argue with him again. Is he really that tired for today? I laughed inwardly because it was kind of cute when he's like this from time to time.I smiled, looking at his sleeping face, yes.. The man is already freaking asleep! As if by just flipping the off switch, his brain shuts down everything and just focuses on getting some rest. Maybe he was so stressed out that my body was in close proximity to his. Even if it was Lia and Luke, that must have bothered him."Why do I keep on thinking of the worst possible scenarios just to purposely break my own heart?" I quietly whispered, biting my lips to suppress my tears. I'm not gonna cry again today! My eyes have dried out this morning, geez.I think I know why I kept on thinking of the saddest of reasons.. It is to expect nothing. This relationship is bound to be dissolved once I accept the rejection, or, in the worst-
Sophia's POV"Tilly has told us some absurd news.. Alpha," one male elder started. He even hesitated to address Carter as Alpha. That long pause was all it took for anyone to figure it out.Carter's elbows were on the table as his jaw was perched on his clasped hands. He confidently cocked his head sideways and raised his brows. "And that is?""You slept with this stranger she-wolf! In your personal room! In the same bed!" Tilly suddenly burst out. My jaw honestly slightly dropped. My head was pulled back by how angry and aghast I am right now. She was just being such a bitch to me a while ago! But here she goes, crying like some child who just got her candy stolen from her.One elder she-wolf rubbed her back as Tilly gave us some crocodile tears. I think I'm getting the gist of what they're cooking.With Tilly's statement, the elders gasped. They even muttered the Moon Goddess under their breaths. As if Carter and I had committed such a deadly sin."That is ourageous!""Unbelievable!"
Sophia's POVAfter that meeting, his grandparents stayed only until the evening to dine in with us. Carter kept on sending them away, and I tried to make them stay."I'd really love to stay here and bond with you both. But duty calls even after resignations," she pouted. Her mate chuckled and hugged Carter. When he was about to hug me goodbye, Carter pulled me to his side."Oh dear, Jakey must've inherited more of your possessive genes, Fred!" Former Luna Azura giggled, and she clasped her arm with mine as she gave me a small peck on the cheek."Grandma!!!" Carter clicked his tongue and softly pulled me to the opposite side of her grandmother. With his hands on my waist. I quietly gulped, but former Luna Azura caught that and winked at me."Oh my goodness, Jakey. I'm a freaking she-wolf! Luke, be reasonable!!" She appealed to his wolf, to which the latter scoffed."Why you little ungrateful mutt!!---" She didn't get to continue what she was about to say because her mate pulled her int
Sophia's POV"Forgive me for barging in without your permission, Alpha, Luna.." he carefully stated while bowing to each of us."No need for apologies if something urgent comes up," Carter commented, glancing in my direction.Gamma Rex slowly caught his breath. As if he just ran from Woodhill University to Blood Moon. โThe retrieval mission for the Dame was undeniably successful. Dame Xianth is now in a safe place. That is the news that came..โHenry and Beta Trent gave each other a high five. Carter nodded slowly, as if he were proud of the fruitful mission of his parents. All of them look relieved.But.. I was the only one who stared at Gamma Rex. Anticipating his next words. His bothered face bugs me the most. If it is prosperous, then why, pray tell, does he have that look on his face?โA-and??โ I tremulously asked. The three of them toned down their voices until there was utter silence. He gulped and gulped, and his eyes were obviously trembling. He cannot even maintain eye contac
(NSFW content) Jhoannaโs POV โJhoanna,โ Hans sweetly coaxed as he held my hand and guided me to his room. โI can hear your heart, you know..โ I gulped and looked around. โIs it okay for me to be here?โ โWhat are you talking about? Youโre Midnightโs future Luna and itโs not like it is your first time here.โ He paused and glanced over his shoulder. โDonโt worry, my love. I wouldnโt do anything you wouldnโt want to.โ โI know. Iโm just.. scared.โ He darkly chuckled, and that made me even more concerned, but at the same time, Iโm honestly anticipating what heโll do. Especially when he grinned, โYou have all the reason to.โ We stopped in front of one door, and he pushed it open. Then, his intoxicating scent greeted us. Greeted me. Didnโt even notice that I grasped his hands too hard until he told me, โLove? Are you okay?โ I nodded as he pulled me into his arms. Then he moved backwards until he laid down on the bed, dragging me on top of him. He didnโt say anything but just hugged m
Jhoannaโs POVโWhere?โ My mate quickly asked as he gave me one peck before looking in my eyes for answers. Held his hand and ran back to where the others were. I had asked mom to teleport us to the demilitarized zone so that I could preserve my powers. She was surprised but didnโt ask further as she chanted and snapped her fingers twice. By the time we opened our eyes, we were at the ancient ruins of the demilitarized zone.Then.. We saw them. The man and grandmama, as she wanted me to call her that. It was quite a groteseque scene, actually.She broke his limbs from all places, full of wrath. Like it was something personal. Then, she mustโve felt some presence as she glared at us in hostility. But softened her gaze once saw it was only me and Hans.โHi dearest! Didnโt want you to witness your grandmama being this mean. Sorry โbout this.โ She spoke in such a light and bright tone that if I ever shared this with someone and they saw her in person, they wouldnโt believe that Naia played
Hansโ POV The moment Jhoanna told me about Hannah, I instantly wolfed out mid-game. Rio immediately understood as he took over as vice captain and let someone else sub in my stead. Could go over to the menโs volleyball team since Samuelโs their captain, but I donโt have time right now, so I just mind-linked him while Iโm sprinting my way to her. โHannahโs in pain again. Iโm gonna go there now.โ โIโm coming.โ It was the only word Samuel replied. Tried to contact my mate, but she wasnโt responding until I could feel her slowly slipping away after feeling her agony through the bond. Thatโs when I truly panic and hasten my pace. The moment I arrived, everyone who knew me was beyond shocked. They know I had an important game, and yet Iโm here. Just quickly passed by them, even when some were asking what on earth I was doing here. Didnโt even have the luxury of pleasantries to deal with them as I sprinted towards where Jhoanna is. Where her scent lingers the most. It was in one of t
Jhoannaโs POVOur friends and even my brother let out a loud and overacting gasp when Hans told them Iโm his mate. If only we could record their reactions. Samuel was terrified, while Rio was the happiest. The rest only laughed at my brotherโs frozen state.Dad reprimanded the life out of me for his car when I returned to Blood Moon during one weekend. Mom just giggled about it. She was quite pleased and, well, ultimately teased me regarding the โHans is my mateโ thing and dad, well, dad is being dad.โHow dare he be mates with my daughter!?โ He growled. His hands formed into a fist.โMy Alpha..โ Mom cooed. โDo they have a choice?โโHeโs been fighting with Jhoanna ever since!โโWeโve been at that phase too. Besides, even if theyโve been at it for years, your reason is even deeper than their fights. You know that, right? Yet, here we are..โDad clicked her tongue and turned away. Mom looked at me and winked, like telling me that she had won. Well, she always wins the arguments with dad
Jhoannaโs POVโBye Mom. Dad.โ Samuel and I said as we hugged them both.โTake care and have fun, both of you,โ Mom pouted. Still sulking about the fact that itโs unfair for her to have her son spend time at the dormitories for two years. She can really be petty at times.I drove dadโs car. Fast. So fast that even Samuel is now praying to the Moon Goddess.โMy goodness, Jhoanna! Could you please slow the fuck down!? We are even a week early!โ He groused. I only shrugged and revved the engine two times faster. He cussed and cussed as I laughed. We are now nearing the Universityโs gate.Until I saw one car driving in the opposite direction. I tried to slow down, and the car did too, but it was too late. We crashed into each other.Oh, no one was hurt, alright.EXCEPT FOR ME WHEN THIS NEWS REACHES DAD.โDad will literally kill me.โ I overdramatically mumbled as I hopped down the car and ran in front to see the damage. My hands automatically went to my mouth as I loudly gasped. Samuel grun
Jhoannaโs POV A peaceful and relaxing afternoon, only to be ruined by one Hans Martin. The manโno, boy, was the correct term as he was two years younger than me, seems to love to annoy the life out of me. As do I to him. Though, my little brother always teased me than he is much more mature than I ever was. Which is, of course, not true! Arching my brow, I asked, โAnd why pray, tell, are you here?โ He groaned the moment our eyes met. โIf I knew you were here, would rather come in a little later..โ He grumbled to which Dad growled. Hans apologized although he clearly seems to be unapologetic enough. โThis is my pack, Hans. Where else would I be?โ I shot back. In the corner of my eye, saw Samuel smirking as if he knew we are starting yet another one of our fights. โIn your room? Or the training grounds? Practicing so that for once you could beat me?โ โENOUGH!โ My father roared. โIโm very much aware of your skirmish with my daughter but I would appreciate it if you wonโt do it h
Sophiaโs POVโY-youโre insane,โ I mumbled, and he smirked. โYeah, only for you.โSucking in a sharp breath, I tried to say something, but this man, this freaking man!PLACED HIS THUMB OVER MY LIP!That very same thumb! Just to stop me from speaking..โDonโt..โ he muttered. โDonโt say anything else, Sophia.โAs if he read my mind that Iโm about to say something along the lines of us being together. I was stunned; even that word itself might be an understatement. Still cannot get over the fact that his thumb is over my lips with his index finger holding my chin to keep me from looking away. โYou already did it, and I cannot have you tell me first the second time around, baby..โ He slowly leaned in, never breaking any eye contact. โI love you, Sophia Addison.โThen our noses touched. Could feel his lips pressing, but I could not feel it entirely. His thumb was still in between.I saw the corner of his eyes beamed, seeing me so flustered. Thus, he pulled away. And before I could ask or
Sophiaโs POVโI will kill him!โ I growled and rose from my seat. Made big steps to get to where he was. โHey stoneface!โHe lifted his head from his arms as he was taking a nap. He lazily yawned and looked at me. โYes, baby?โI snorted and glared at him, โDid you just burn my rejection letter meant for Aunt Ma and Uncle Frank!?โโIโm the one you are rejecting, right? So I have the right to deny your rejection, my baby.โโStop calling me that! Aside from itโs so fucking cringy, Iโm not yours!โ I roared and placed both of my hands in his seat.โYouโre mine, Sophia. Youโre my mate.โ He seriously stated as he stared at me with his pitch black eyes. I was speechless and was about to back out. But he pulled my waist with his right hand and threw his table away with his free hand. As if switching places. I ultimately landed on his lap. Tried to get away, but he only tightened his grip on my waist. This fucking bastard!Henry shielded himself because he almost made contact with the table. He
Sophiaโs POVโThat asshole!โ Jhoanna punched the nearest wall the moment she came inside our pack mansion.โJhoanna!โ I slightly raised my voice with a warning tone.She looked at me and gasped. The irritation and fury in her eyes instantly gone, โSorry, mom. Itโs just.. just.. Ugh! That Hans, I swear!โShe gave me one quick kiss on the cheek before storming into her room. Samuel, who, a moment later, came after her, greeted me with a warm voice. โHey, mom.โHe gave me a half hug and kissed my cheek. My head moved a little bit sideways, motioning to his sister, โWhat happened to that one?โHe smirked and slightly tilted his head down with a little shake. โThe usual Hans and Jhoanna mayhem.โI sighed. Seasons came and went. And just like that, seven years had gone by. There were problems here and there, sure, but we always managed to solve them all. But not Jhoanna and Hansโ unending fights.Fights.A strong word, indeed. Only, thatโs literally what's happening. We couldnโt even call i
