Warning Rated SPG 18+Her middle name was fool. Hah! She was either the most insane, naive woman on the planet, or her instincts were on high alert because she got this strange sensation she could truly trust Sage. So why do they feel as if someone is watching them, as if there is someone in the air? in the shadowy corner of the room? As though someone was breaking into them? She could ignore those feelings, but there was no one and no cameras anywhere she looked. She shuddered.It wasn't like she didn't know anything about Sage. Her friend had told her a lot about Landon's brothers, so she almost felt like she knew him."Okay," she said as she bit her lip. Desperate to finish this mess she was about to make."Excellent, girl," Sage whispered.He approached her and hooked two of his fingers below one side of her panties."Oh, can I leave those on for a few minutes, perhaps, 10 minutes?" Now that the big moment had arrived, she realized she needed a little more time. Only a tiny bit. Y

Sophie’s eyes lowered, performing a curtsy when her turn came. The Master Luna, Annabelle, a sweet, beautiful middle-aged woman just a little older than her mother, smiled at her, though she was enveloped in a cloud of perfume. She put a hand under Sophie’s chin, and while she fought the urge to snatch it away, she turned her chin to the ceiling. "She is so pretty. Isn’t she lovely, dear?" The woman appealed to her husband, Master Alpha Alfonso. After raising a brow in the presence of his two sons, Luna Annabelle accepted the glass of champagne that had been offered to her. "Such lovely cheekbones, my dear... I like you already, Sophie." "Enough with that darling, leave the girl alone," the Master Alpha responded, not looking at Sophie or her cheekbones or, to her relief, her child-bearing hips, which were probably the only attribute in his future daughter-in-law that interested him but staring at the glass of champagne he held. He wasn’t holding it for long. Luna Annabelle release

Sophie took her seat and watched as Cherryl, who was already seated, said something that made the normally solemn guest of honour giggle. Sophie felt a twinge of envy for her sister's ease in public interactions, which she saw tonight in a slim-fitting flame-purple gown. Sophie could work the crowd with the best of them when necessary, but it was a learned skill. That came naturally to Cherryl.Sophie pondered and considered what she saw in Sage's future. Was it possible to make a change? Is it possible to change the outcome so that she does not end up as a rogue or, worse, hated by Landon's people? What happened today that messed up the next three weeks? First, she deduced from the vision that she had been transferred to Robinson's pack to await the full moon, and then Landon happened to find his true mate?That was a complete mess. What about her? What about their engagement tonight? And why does everyone in the Robinson pack despise her? What did she do to make them believe she was

Sophie realised she was back in the seer's vision, perhaps three or four weeks from now. This was Landon's mind, and she shivered at the prospect of undoing what had happened the first time she went inside his head. After all, being held as a prisoner for alleged crimes she did not commit was not a reason to consider taking a vacation. "I'm sorry for the mess, Sophie," Alpha Landon grumbled behind her. It had been days since she had been locked up in the prison cell and the failed escape attempt with Sage, even before Landon had left with Roxanne. "I understand, but are you really sure that Roxanne is your true mate? I mean, I know, what we have isn't—um, love, but—really? With Roxanne?" "Why the doubt?" Landon asked. "Because I thought, um, you like my sister?" "That’s true," he said, acting as though her clenched response were actually wisdom and not desperation. "Would you like to come with me while I tell my father that?" Woah! That’s it. This was all Alpha Alfonso’s scheme.

Sophie just had to accept it and not fight or want more. This was her destiny. Pawn or not, it was all worth it for the sake of her pack. But why does it hurt? "I'm alright. I'm going inside now. Landon is anticipating my return." She said with a little nod of her head. "I'll see you later then," Sage groaned. He was getting closer. "So you're now the nice guy," she taunted awkwardly as she raised her brow. Sage's eyes had adjusted to the light, and her face was a pale blur, as was her body. The need to reach for her in the darkness was so intense that suppressing it made him shiver like a delirious creature. His wolf was anticipating imprinting on her wolf. "That was my fault, but you deserved a greater proposal." "Not everyone has your command of the romantic language. But guess the only proposals you are familiar with are of the indecent sort." "I may not know much about responsibility, but you have now accepted to marry my brother; therefore, you are entirely out of bounds, e
