All Chapters of ONCE FORSAKEN, NOW THE LYCAN KING’S LUNA: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

SOFIA'S POV I jerked awake, panting.My life flashed before my very eyes and I surely would have died if I didn't wake up when I did.I fastened my hand around my neck and I could feel the grip on it. Whoever it was had nothing but the intention to snuff life out of me.I turned, grabbing the glass of water on the bedside table, emptying it in one gulp. It took a few minutes before I finally became myself.“Sofia,” the voice was soft, still. It could only be Dane. He stared at me, a bit worried. “Are you alright? I heard your scream from outside.”“I'm okay. Thank you.” I paused as it snapped within me. I didn't remember screaming, so how did he hear me scream?I thought for a few seconds then pushed it to the back of my mind. “It's alright. I'm here now” He wrapped his arm around me, gently making my head rest on his shoulder.My heart pounded hard. I couldn't keep calm. I wasn't sure how long it would take before my confidence in Dane is restored, but until then.“I'm still in awe

SOFIA'S POV What in the world was happening to Dane. Why was he acting this way? Fear gripped me, twisting me in its clutches so hard that I began to shiver.Mike took him off, insisting that I remain where I was. Why though? Shouldn't I be beside my husband when he needs me the most?“Don't worry, he'll be fine, soon.” Selene patted my shoulders as tears trickled down my face. She pulled me into her like a sister would.I sobbed, allowing the tears roll freely down my face. The appetite in me for food had suddenly vanished and all I wanted was to be alone.“Where are you going?” Selene asked, worried. I had pulled away from her and gradually walking away from the dining room. Mike arrived right then. “Let's eat, My Queen. Dane would be fine in a few minutes. He's just having a little difficulty controlling himself.”“Controlling himself?” I frowned. What did Mike mean by that? Why would Dane have any struggles controlling himself, and from what?“He's the only person who can explai

SOFIA'S POV I was thrilled. Meeting someone who was related to one of Dane's previous mates wasn't one I had thought would happen. “When exactly was your sister a mate to the Lycan king. What happened to her?” I asked, leaning towards her. I was curious, anxious too. The girl stared at me. She seemed hesitant, terrified. I could see it in her eyes. “You can tell me anything. You've got nothing to be worried about,” I assured, holding her hands. She exhaled, still not convinced. “Please, speak to me. Don't be terrified.” She chuckled. Her loud laugh sounded strange to me. Weird as well. “I'm not terrified. What I'm not sure of is if I can trust you or not.” I let out a quiet sigh. “I understand your fears. You might I might go on to betray you if you speak to me.” “You're smart.” “I'm the current Lycan queen an I have just discovered something rather strange. Whatever you tell me surely would help me q lot in my further discovery.” Her lips pressed against each other. “M

DANE'S POV Something was off about Sofia. I didn't know what it was, but I was certain about my worries.Watching her as she walked into the room earlier, and even as I went to get her for dinner, further reinforced my worries.She wasn't going to spill so there was no need asking again. I wasn't sure how my announcement was going to be received, but I had made up my mind already. There was no changing it.“An announcement?’ They all chorused as I mentioned it. Selene seemed the most interested. “That's right. An addition to the board of directors shall be made right here and now.”Selene giggled, excited. Sofia was completely uninterested, eating on like nothing was happening.“So who's this person going to be? The addition?” I cleared my throat, my eyes moving round them all. “Sofia. She's the newest member of the board.”Colors drained from Selene's eyes. It was swift, almost unnoticeable, but I did. A smile replaced it quickly. “Congratulations, Sis.”Sofia was shocked as well

SELENE'S POVI sat all through as the lecturer taught on, quiet and uninterested.My mind was distant, distorted.What was happening to Dane? Was he in his right state of mind? How could he make Sofia a shareholder in the company?To think I have begged him over and over again for a managerial position and he had declined my request.Sofia had gone out of nowhere and in less than two months, he's making her a shareholder.Could Sofia have jazzed him? I nodded to myself. There was no other reason to think of.I swallowed hard, my hand tapping gently against the table. “Miss Selene!!”The call was sudden, jolting me to reality. I raised my head, staring at the lecturer who had called me.“Please tell the class what I said last.”Damn it! I bit hard at my lips at I rose to my feet. “I'm sorry, but I haven't been paying attention.”He moved closer, patting my shoulders. “I might have to excuse you from my class the next time I catch you so absent minded.”My face flushed with embarrassmen
