Sophia's POV.I waited for his axe to cut off my arm first but it never came. There was a minute of silence and then someone clapped.I opened my eyes to a half of its size to see what was happening. "Had they changed their minds and wanted to go boiling me in hot water?".I looked around to confirm and to my greatest surprise, all the men had left the table and were seated far from me. They held beer in their hands and had smiles on their faces."What is going on?"."I like her". Their leader said. "she doesn't scare easily. She is one woman I would have loved to have as a Luna. A woman who would easily take a shot at death for us. Wouldn't you agree?".They roared with laughter at once. A pang of sudden confusion hit me."What's going on?"."Alpha Brandon was not going to hurt you. He was merely trying to test you. He knows who you are and everyone knows how your father treated you. You don't need to explain".I pushed out a relieved sigh. Thank the moon goddess."Did you need to go

Sophia's POV.The next couple of days were better than the rest of my life.I had freedom. I was protected and more importantly, I was at peace with myself.It bothered me that I had not seen Derrick and I did not know how he was doing but aside from that, I was fine.All my scars had healed thanks to Alpha Brandon and his maids, once again, I was fine.Brandon had tried his hardest to give me the best comfort he could think of, even in the midst of not having as much as he had before his pack lands were taken from him. His men were not as terrible as they were to me the first day and as the days grew, they became friendlier.I didn't know how long it was going to last but I decided to make sure I enjoyed the peace I was getting."Alpha Brandon, we need to see you at the hall. Something has come up". A guard leaned over Brandon's ear to talk to him while I was playing chess with him.He whispered but I could still hear him. I think the pregnancy had increased my ability to hear better

Sophia's POVHe returned shortly after he had raged on and everywhere became quiet. When he had left, I saw Brandon come out of his house. He confidently walked to his beta wolf and gave him a loud warning. "I do not want him here again. Do not let him into our pack land again. Is that clear?".Everyone shivered in fear. They were at a standstill as they took his instructions. "Do I make myself clear?!" He roared in everyone's ears. "Yes sir!". He walked away. I watched from the back of the house I was in as he hurriedly rushed back into his building.He looked scary. He looked like he was hiding something and I wanted to know what it was.I followed him carefully. He walked hurriedly until he came to a halt at his door. He stopped to open it when he suddenly looked in my direction. I was fast enough to hide behind a tree before he could see me. He raised his head in the air and sniffed around. It was as though he could sense my scent. "Where are you?".I froze. "Sophia. Come ou

Sophia's POVI shifted my weight to Brandon's side. The echo of the voice we had just heard ran through the garden we were in. The birds that had perched on the nearby trees all flew to find protection. We were left all alone.Brandon jumped on his feet and looked back at me, "Don't be scared, sit there and wait".His level of confidence could have kept me going, except that I felt the sudden urge to release my bladder from its pressure. I gripped his feet and pressed my eyes shut."Brandon!! How dare you touch her stomach and sit so comfortably with her? Do you not know she belongs to another?". The voice rang again. It was getting closer and closer."As expected. I can see you do not know your place. Why are you here?". Brandon shot.Brandon's calmness made me wonder who he was talking to, thus, I opened my eyes.My vision was blurry for a second but soon enough, it cleared up for me to see a distant figure approaching us. A second more and my focus found a face."Caleb!", I gasped.

Sophia’s POV.Seeing Alpha Caleb again brought back memories. Terrible ones. I shook my head many times as I tried to forget it but I just couldn’t. The way he dragged me to the high podium and asked me to stand there.I remembered the way he accepted my apology and asked me if I was doing well. I nodded. In his eyes, I thought I saw care. He called me and made me feel like he loved me only to be called names and disgraced that way. As I remembered it, I felt a chill run down my spine. My baby kicked in response.“Here, have a cup of water”, Brandon brought a cup my way. He sat close to me by the edge and handed it gently to me. “I will get you a glass of freshly made orange juice soon. It is being made”.I accepted the glass cup and drank from it while he watched. He took it from me once I was done. “Are you alright?”.“Mmm”, I nodded slowly, “Thank you”.“You’re welcome”, he dropped the glass far on the other table, “May I ask what happened between you?”.I thought he knew. I stared
