*Danny’s POV*
I used my fist to smash a hole into my office wall. I was so fucking angry.
“HOW WAS SHE ABLE TO LEAVE?”
Mack and Denise cowered before me. They knew I could be dangerous when I was like this.
“Alpha…we thought she was still…,” Mack tried to speak.
“I DON’T CARE WHAT THE FUCK YOU THOUGHT, I WANT TO KNOW WHY THE FUCK NO ONE WAS WATCHING THE FRONT DOOR.”
Denise scoffed and I bore my eyes into hers. “Alpha…sorry…I just…” She seemed to struggle with herself. “We’re not babysitters.”
I moved closer towards her, and she knew she’d gone too far. I swiftly grabbed her by the hair, lifting her off the ground by a few inches as she cried out. “I know you think you ca

*Sophia’s POV*“Its…you…” I stared at him, not really believing my own eyes. And yet, I knew him. He was the man I had bumped into weeks ago. The man with the eyes that so utterly mesmerised me. He stood now before me, letting me take in his form. He looked slightly more causal than last time, although he was still wearing a perfectly ironed shirt and a pair of smart grey trousers. Without his jacket on and his sleeves rolled up to his elbow, I could tell just how muscular he was. He was still as beautiful as the last time I had seen him, but he seemed to look more tired than before. His eyes were a little dimmer, and the stubble around his face was more pronounced. There was something about his image that…did something to me. It was such an odd feeling. I wasn’t even able to name it.Then came his deep rich voice. The sound making me feel a little weak at my knees. “You remember me then, Sophia.”I nodded

*Sophia’s POV*I held Jack’s hand as tightly as I could, so tightly I was sure I was hurting him. “Shh Jack. It’s okay.” I whispered the words, even though I wasn’t sure they were true.He sniffed pushed his face into my shoulder. “Where’s mummy?” His muffled voice came.I felt like I was going to cry, but I didn’t want to scare Jack. “She will be here soon. We just have to wait.”I’d hidden us under Jack’s bed like mummy had told me to. She’d said she would come and get us as soon as she could.The sound of raised voices reached our ears. They were downstairs in the shop. I pulled Jack towards me, hoping to block out some of the shouting.A loud bang caused me to startle. The sound of screaming followed. It was a woman. I realised it was my mummy who was screaming. She was calling out to my daddy. Another loud bang. The screaming stopped.Both Jac

*Sophia’s POV*Not long after I’d seen him in the garden, Thale came to my room.“Would you like me to show you around the house?”I nodded. After all, I needed to get to know the place and its gardens if I was going to escape. I also wanted to ask him about the woman I had seen.As he led me round the grand building, I felt like I was on some sort of bizarre historical tour. He mainly talked about the history of the house, pointing out certain features that had been built or added to over the centuries. The way he talked about it was as if he’d been there at the time. I knew Danny had mentioned that dragons lived a long time, but right now I was too afraid to ask just how long that was. Despite my distress at being held captive, I could not help but appreciate the beauty of the place. In truth, I had never been anywhere like this before, except maybe Danny’s. But this was different. Danny’s house was amazin

*Sophia’s POV*There was no way I could stay here any longer. Thale was starting to get into my head. After his insane declaration in the gardens, I had fled straight back to my room. I started to wonder if he had some sort of magic that was bewitching me. Why hadn’t I asked Danny more questions about dragons? I would not dwell on what he had said. I refused to let him twist my thoughts. I just needed to get out of here. I had laughed ironically to myself. Who would have thought a few weeks ago that I’d be running away from my dragon kidnapper to my wolf boyfriend? It was ludicrous.I stayed in my room for the rest of the day. I had no interest in bumping into Thale. During the evening meal, I pocketed the bread to take with me. London wasn’t far but if I couldn’t hitch a ride I would have to walk, and I would need something to eat. Once it was midnight, I began to prepare everything as quietly as I could. Louis was back outside

*Sophia’s POV*By the time we reached the entrance, I had given up fighting. My body felt broken from the ordeal, and there was no way I would escape his tight grip. Guards wordlessly opened the heavy oak doors for us to step inside. Once they’d closed behind us, Thale finally put me down. I sank to the floor, exhausted and defeated. I had no intention of looking his way. I felt embarrassed about the fact he was naked. I was also afraid. Danny’s wolf had been shocking enough to see, but this…this was another level. I felt a blanket being draped around my shoulders.A figure crouched beside me. “Sophia, I have asked Mrs Elliot to prepare you a bath. You cannot stay in these wet clothes. After you’ve finished, I will come to your room and speak with you.”I shivered but said nothing. I knew it was him that had spoken, but I still had no desire to look at him. His powerful arms came around me once more, and I realised he w

*Sophia’s POV*Despite being completely exhausted from my escape attempt, I hardly slept. A thousand thoughts raged in my head. Telling Thale about my parents had caused my mind to relive the experience, something it had not done in some time. Thale’s reaction had also confused me. His stalking and kidnapping behaviour didn’t seem to fit with how much sympathy he’d shown me when I told him about my parents. I also wondered what proof he intended to present to me. And If he did manage to prove Danny’s malicious intentions, what did that mean for Jack?It wasn’t long before the grey light of morning began to infiltrate the bedroom, giving the room an almost eerie glow. I had no further desire to attempt to sleep, and instead used the lever to ring for breakfast.“Good morning Miss Bell.” Mrs Elliot bustled into the room, although she appeared to be a little less chirpy than the day before. She loo

*Sophia’s POV*“I was part of the pack when Danny’s father was Alpha. His name was Bruce. Bruce was pretty ambitious. He was sick of these reptiles…” Desmond gestured to Thale. “…running things. He thought it was high time we have a go.”He cocked his head at me. “Do you even know what the balance stone is, Sophia?”I creased my forehead at the sudden apparent change in subject.“I take from the look on your face, that’s a no…too young I suppose.”He went quiet for a moment, which irritated me greatly.He sniffed. “Well I spose your new friend there can fill you in on those details later. After all, it was his filthy kind that created the thing.”Despite the barrage of insults that Thale was hearing, I noted that he didn’t move an inch or say one word.“Anyway.” Desmond leaned back in the chair, as if he was bore

*Sophia’s POV*I passed out as soon as I got into bed. It was as if my body had finally said enough. It shut down. When I woke up later that night, I felt less tired, but still restless. Now I knew the truth about Danny’s intentions, I needed to get Jack out of there as soon as possible. I cursed myself for letting Danny’s charms take me in, but I still had some residual feelings for him. I reminded myself that none of what had happened between us had been real. He had orchestrated the whole thing. The kiss with Thale had only further complicated my feelings. I couldn’t deny the way it had made me feel, but I didn’t fully trust him. I wanted to know more about why Thale was telling me I was his mate. It felt more believable than it had with Danny, but I was wary it was yet another trap. After all, perhaps Thale wanted me to use the stone for his benefit. Despite my concerns, I needed to speak with him again about Jac
