Semua Bab IN LOVE WITH THE ANCIENT LYCAN WOLF: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Sophia's POV."Should we try again?". I offered. Brandon handed the phone over to me, "Be my guest".I took it from his hand and continued dialing their cellphones, still, it was not ringing.Their walkie-talkie was dead and the signal from the tracker was still.Not long after, it went off.This should not be happening, I thought. Why was the only means to save my mate not going through?The entire evening was not pleasant for me.While everyone danced and sang in merriment, I was seated in the corner, tightly clinging to the Alpha's phone in high hopes that I would get a call from the Gamma.My heart was racing against my chest as every second went by. I tried to keep calm and act natural but my legs folded in unconsciously and I found a tear rolling down my eyes a few times."Has anything happened yet?". Brandon would come to ask once in a while and I gave him the answer, "No. I'm still expecting".He would pat on my shoulder and ask me to be patient."Sometimes, it's the network.

I was asleep when my eyes snapped open as a loud thud echoed through the silence of my dimly lit room. I shot up in bed, immediately on high alert. The noise had come from the basement, the very place I had repeatedly warned Sophia to stay away from. Maybe she had come back to me.My instincts kicked in at once, a primal immediacy urging me to check it out.To investigate. Rising from my bed, my bare feet met the cool floor as I scanned the room. It was dark again and cold. I tiptoed to the basement, making sure I was as silent as I could be.Next to nothing.A quick push of the door and I was in.Everything seemed in order, except for a missing cushion and a chair slightly out of place. I frowned, my keen vision was taking in the scene. I knew myself well enough and I was meticulous about my space. I knew what was kept and where it was. Any deviation from what I deemed as standard struck me as odd.Quietly, I approached the basement door again. My senses heightened. I could

Derrick POV.My heart raced as I stood startled, staring at the woman I had thought was my mate. Confusion clouded my mind and that of my wolf, my instincts conflicting with the reality that was unfolding in front of me."Sophia!" I yelled. "What are you doing?". I thought my utterance of her name would bring her back to her senses but it didn't.She froze for some seconds and then turned back to wait for the security men. The air crackled with tension, and I struggled to comprehend what was happening. "Ethan, stay close," I whispered to the boy. The gravity of the situation was sinking in. We were in an unfamiliar zone, we needed to be together. Sophia, who had always seemed warm and inviting, was now cold and calculating.Her second scream and a stern expression on her face caught the security men's attention.They began approaching us. I saw them whispering something. I strained to catch their words, but the unease in my gut grew. I couldn't understand why she was even calli

Sophia's POV.A crowd gathered by the river and I was seated on a stone by its bank. I watched as they dragged a lifeless body to the shore and tried to identify him.Brandon sighed many times when he figured out the man belonged to his pack. His face had been disfigured and most parts of his body dismembered so seeing this must have broken him.I held my baby, feeding him while he relaxed in my arms. "He could be anyone and they just threw on this seal to distract us". One of the pack members who had volunteered to come said.That might have been a possibility but it was less likely.The extent they went just to spite Brandon was at an extreme and I was not sure anyone would do it. Besides, he said he had no enemies.We were deep in thought, trying to wrap our heads around what had happened and how to move forward when I noticed Brandon pull his cell phone from his pocket and dial a number.He excused himself and went into the bushes to take his call.I followed him, my steps barel

Alpha Brandon's POVI heard someone scream from behind, I didn't need to be told it was either Sandra or Sophia. My men and I rushed back to where their tents were located.If anything happened to them, I won't forgive myself, especially Sandra who wasn't just my mate but the carrier of my child. Though I warned them to stay back and they ignored me, it won't stop me from forgiving myself if anything bad happens to them.I felt this sharp pain at the back of my legs and we ran towards them, I almost stumbled on the floor due to the pain, but I managed to stop myself from falling. I took a quick glance at the back of my leg, there was nothing there.Instantly it dawned on me that it wasn't about me, but Sandra, "Is she fine? Do you also feel the pain?""Yes I do, hurry it looks like she is in danger, I feel she is about to pass out, hurry up," my wolf replied.We ran towards the tent and found Sophia outside facing Sandra who was on the ground bleeding, "It's the Luna she is bleeding."
