Chapter Eleven

Sofia’s POV“Aaaaaah!”Someone screamed from outside. We all ran out, panic rising in our chests, desperate to see what was going on.My heart nearly stopped when I saw Grandma lying on the ground.“What happened to her?” I asked, rushing to her side as a wave of fear hit me hard. I knelt beside her, gently lifting her head while trying not to panic.“We don’t know, miss,” one of the maids said breathlessly. “We also rushed out when we heard her scream.”Two maids helped me support her to a chair. “My back... I hit my back,” Grandma groaned, her hand pressing against it with pain etched across her face.Adam appeared, his expression filled with concern. I didn’t understand it, but somehow, I could feel his pain—like a silent echo in my chest—even though we weren’t bonded yet.“Get me the car keys,” Adam barked at his personal guard, who ran off without a word.Adam and Nightshade carefully lifted Grandma into the car. One of the maids climbed in to stay with her. Just as Nightshade wa

Chapter Twelve

Sofia's POV:I hurried down to where the box was and quickly dropped the remote inside. I stood in front of it, trying to act normal, my eyes fixed on the doorway as I waited to see who was coming.I squinted, trying to make out the person, but I couldn’t recognize them until they got closer."I've been looking for you everywhere," Adam said with a worried look. "One of the guards said you mentioned wanting to check around."I brushed my hair back with my fingers, forcing a small smile. "Yeah, I said that.""I didn’t know you were here until I saw Keith standing outside this house. That’s why I came in," he added, stepping closer.Panic tickled the edge of my thoughts. Did he see anything? Did he hear something? I pretended everything was fine. "Oh, I just came out for some fresh air. I was bored inside," I lied casually.Adam looked around, his eyes scanning the place. He spotted a chair and sat down heavily, his body sinking into it like he hadn’t rested in days. He looked tired… bu

Chapter Thirteen

Sofia's POV:"What am I doing here?" Keith asked weakly as she opened her eyes.I sat beside her on the bed, brushing her hair back gently."You passed out earlier," I said softly. "We had to rush you here. The doctor said your body temperature was too high.""I'm sorry for putting you through all this stress," she mumbled, bowing her head."You don’t need to be sorry," I reassured her. "You just need to rest."But Keith, ever stubborn, refused to stay put. She struggled to sit up."Luna, I have to be by your side. That’s my duty," she insisted.She tried to stand but fell back on the bed. My heart ached for her. I understood her devotion, but she wasn’t a machine—and even machines break down. She needed rest."Please," I said, placing a hand on her arm. "Just stay back today.""Don’t worry, Kaila will take over your duties until you’re well," Adam added, stepping closer.That seemed to settle her. She gave a small smile."I’ll be by your side again tomorrow, Luna."We all laughed at

Chapter Fourteen

Sofia’s POV"Whaaat! How do you expect me to fight him?" I asked, staring at the huge, tall man walking into the training room.He stopped right in front of me. I didn’t understand why, but fear crept up my spine. Without even realizing it, the stick in my hand slipped to the floor."The fight hasn’t even begun, and you're already giving up," Adam said from the side.Sometimes, I truly disliked him. He just knew how to say things that got to me. I quickly picked the stick back up—not because I was ready to face that mountain of a man—but because of what Adam said."Do I look scared to you? Why should I give in?" I asked boldly.Adam introduced the man as "Big Monster." The name made sense. The man smiled at me, and I smirked right back. Like I cared who he was."Let the fight begin," Adam said, stepping aside to watch.Big Monster faced me, ready to fight. At first, I was terrified, but I forced myself to stand my ground."Bring it on," I said, trying to sound brave.In reality, my he

Chapter Fifteen

Sofia’s POV“Welcome back, the real king,” the man said as he stepped out of the car.It was Nightshade. When he got closer and removed his sunglasses, he looked completely different—too young for his age, yet striking.“Why’s everyone staring at me? Am I not welcome back?” he asked with a playful smile.I returned the smile, even though it didn’t come from my heart. “Welcome back home,” I said softly.He turned to Adam with a respectful nod. “And to you, my king.”Nightshade seemed like someone who liked to joke around a lot. Adam welcomed him warmly, and we all headed inside.Adam was ready to talk about the investigation Nightshade had gone for, but I quickly suggested we eat first—I honestly felt like I might faint.Inside, we found Grandma already at the dining table. The food had been served.“Grandma, how’s your heart now?” I asked gently.After eating, Adam brought up the issue again. He wanted us to move to the training room to talk.But first, I went to check on my personal m

Chapter Sixteen

Sofia’s POV"Welcome to my place. What have I done to deserve this great visit?" Lucas said as he welcomed them warmly.I could see the curiosity written all over the faces of those around."Who is he here for?" they whispered, eyes narrowing as we approached."Welcome, the King of Kings," Lucas said with respect.Adam stepped forward, smiling as he declared, "I’m here to see my wife."He pointed in my direction.I smiled softly and looked him straight in the eyes. The moment our eyes met, his smile deepened."Your wife?" Lucas echoed, clearly confused. His eyes flicked between Adam and the crowd, trying to figure out who Adam was referring to."I guess she came here to say hi to her family," Adam added casually as he reached me and wrapped his arms around my neck. His voice turned low and affectionate. "I’m sorry I’ve been busy outside."The gesture stunned everyone. Gasps floated through the room."That’s Sofia," one of the elders said, pointing at me."That’s not possible," another

Chapter Seventeen

SOFIA POV“Never know yet,” he said, sitting at the long table in front of me.While I understood he wouldn’t be able to stay long—he’s the Alpha, after all—I still asked, “So when are you planning to go?”“I’ll be leaving tomorrow morning,” he replied.He reminded me to make sure the business ran well and that everything went smoothly.After a long day, we had our main meal and went to our room to sleep.The next morning, Adam left, and Nightshade and I set out to inspect our building site.As we walked, we saw a group of people dragging others. Curious and concerned, we decided to investigate.“Hey, stop! What’s going on here?” I asked as we moved closer.It was clear that things weren’t going well in the village. People looked unhappy—hungry, even.“They’ve taken everything from us,” an old man said. He ran to my side and clung to my legs.I couldn’t believe this had been happening and the king had done nothing.“You all should stop and leave now,” I said in a commanding tone, tryi

Chapter Eighteen

Sofia’s POV:"You should have gone to the palace. Why did you have to come here?" Nightshade said, angry."Please help me. The king wouldn’t do anything," she explained. She’d been to the palace before coming here, but the king wasn’t helping.According to her, the queen was the one in control, and anyone who spoke out against her would be silenced.“She ran to our side for help, and we should do everything we can to find her child,” Adam said.It took a while before we were able to calm her down and send her back to her house."What do we do next?" Nightshade asked.Just then, one of the spies came in and placed some papers on the table. What we found was shocking."There seems to be a connection between Bata and the Luna. Many people are working for them—including the palace guards," Adam said.Later that night, I was determined to get to the bottom of things. But for now, I just wanted to sleep. "We will continue tomorrow," I said.In the midst of darkness, there was a light. As I

Chapter Nineteen

Sofia’s POV:"Yes, we meet again," he said as he got down from the horse. "How do you explain this? We were told to bring you down to the palace." He laughed out loud like a wizard.I turned to the leader and looked straight into his eyes. "We will be there anytime soon," I said calmly.The leader glared at me, his eyes blazing with a desire for confrontation.The anger from yesterday's events still seemed to be coursing through him. "The King wants to see you right now!" he said, his voice laced with irritation. "So, it would be better if you follow us," he added, his tone filled with warning."We are going together," Nightshade said, stepping beside me.I looked around, searching for Adam, but he was nowhere to be found. "Where’s Adam?" I asked Nightshade directly."He left this morning. He didn’t want to wake you up because of everything you went through yesterday," Nightshade explained.When we arrived at the palace, the King was already furious, demanding to know why we had inter

Chapter Twenty

Author’s POVSofia was overwhelmed with relief. Nightshade had come—just like she knew he would. There he was, bold and strong, ready to save her.A guard charged at him, swinging his weapon, but Nightshade dodged it effortlessly and turned to face the threat head-on.Within moments, the guard was lying lifeless—discarded like an unwanted dog. Blood stained the ground.Nightshade rushed to Sofia and lifted her onto his back. That was the last thing she could remember before everything faded.When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on a long wooden chair outside her home.“What happened? How did I get here? Nightshade, are you hurt?” she asked in a rush, her mind spinning with questions.Before he could answer, a lady stepped out with a bowl of water. “You’re tired. You need to rest. My name is Keith,” she said gently, like she belonged there.Sofia didn’t like that. She didn’t like the woman’s presence, didn’t like how comfortable she looked. And worst of all—she was wearing Sof
