Sophia’s POV Six more months and I could be out of this hellhole, see my parents had died when I was younger. I was put in the orphanage no one wanted to adopt, which I didn’t care about. But for some reason, Alpha Cyrus hated me and so did his son. I would cop daily beatings for no reason. He has tried to beat me down for the last sixteen years, but it hasn’t worked. I will not allow him to break me. He is a d*ck. He treats our Luna like crap; I feel sorry for her, as I know she gets it worse than I do. No one at school likes me. The teachers hate me and so do all the kids; I have no friends there. All I try to do is study and keep my head down. But the stupid Alpha is training his son up on how to beat me in public. No one can actually watch it, except for the sick kids, but hey they are all like that. I don’t feel the pain anymore. Knowing what is coming for me, I retreat into my head. My body becomes numb. I swear that one of these days I will kill him and his son

Derek’s POV“Honey, I need you to go to the pack and see what evidence you can collect.” Mom's voice came through the phone. I knew she was going to ask me to do this. No one else wanted to go and see that a**hole. He was good at hiding all evidence, well I just felt that he had his pack too scared to come forward. My beast was stirring for the first time in a while.“Mom, seriously, there must be someone else that can do it. You know I will kill him if it comes down to it. But you know I don’t want to kill anyone else after what happened.” I sighed, blocking out the memories of that horrible night. I could never take back what happened, but I knew I would not do it again unless there was enough evidence.“Derek, no one blames you for what happened. But you had reason to do it. They killed your mate and your father.” I could feel the sadness from Mom without her even having to say anything.“Ok Mom, I will do it for you. But it still doesn’t mean that I am ready to come back. I will ke

I could sense that something was wrong with Jarrod, Adeline and Carla as they were running silently beside me, I had rejected the pack but somehow I could still link with Jarrod but what I didn't expect was to be able to hear the conversation between Jarrod and Adeline.“She is different, Jarrod. Are you sure you want her to come with us? She might be the reason to slow us down.” Adeline said to Jarrod. Jarrod slowed down as no one was in thier wolf's form yet.“Jarrod it's ok. I was never going to come with you. I owe you my life many times. I will lead them off as far as I can. So you can get out of here with your family. If you ever need me, please come and find me and I will repay the favour." “But how did you know? Sophia, I am sorry to do this, but my family is everything to me.” It was like he was trying to find an excuse to leave me, but I owed him my life.“Goodbye Jarrod.” I said to him through the link we still shared, and I took off in the other direction. After all, the

Sophia’s POV I woke up screaming. How long had I been out for? Looking around the room, I couldn’t tell where I was. My hands went to my neck. The silver had gone. But I wasn’t where I thought I would be. The room was padded. It looked secure. There was an enormous bed with a sitting area near it. It had a kitchenette, plus there was a shower and toilet as well. Nothing was hidden. The entire room was open, including the bathroom. I could feel him staring at me. Turning around slowly to look at him, I backed up against the wall. His face was softer this time. What the hell was he doing? “I am sorry that you had to meet my twin brother, Sophia. He got out of his cell when he heard about you. He wanted to take you for himself and take you away from me.” “Where am I Steven?” “In my safe house, Sophia. No one but me knows you are here. Tobias thinks I toke you back to Angus.” He explained to me. There was no way I was going to trust him, but in all honesty, a werewolf could tell if ano

Sophia’s POVI woke up from the most peaceful sleep that I had in years. Sleeping in Derek’s arms had felt so right that I had fallen asleep within minutes. I looked around the room and he wasn’t there; the bed was cold so he must have been up for a while. Feeling better, I got up to go to the bedroom I was staying for a shower. Remembering what Derek had said about the clothes, I decided to check out the wardrobe first.After finding some clothes that I thought would look nice, I went and had a shower, feeling content for the first time in my life. Not sure what I should do now. I decided I would explore the house. Making my way down the stairs, I smelt bacon, my stomach grumbled at the smell, so I thought I would go and find where the kitchen was. Turns out the house was bigger than I thought it was. I found the kitchen finally after around half an hour. It was on the ground floor, right at the back of the house. Not sure if I was actually allowed to leave the room I was in, I made
