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."
Alpha Brandon's POVI looked around for a stool, "Hey you, get me that stool." The maid who was standing at the kitchen door, quickly ran towards where the stool was and brought it to me.I sat on it with my gaze not leaving Sandra, different thoughts clouded my mind, I felt a warm hand on my left shoulder, "She will be fine, nothing is going to happen to her."I turned to see Sophia, who was carrying her child, "I believe, but at the same time, I am scared, Sophia. What if she doesn't survive, the doctor said there's poison in her system and she also needs a blood transfusion.""That won't be a problem, if our blood does match, I can donate for her, you have done enough for me, though it won't be enough to pay you back for what you have done for me, but at least it will go a long way to keep her alive. I know how much you love, and you won't want to lose her."I wasn't expecting this from Sophia, "Thank you, Sophia, I appreciate your kind words and actions. Despite your situation you
Sophia's POV"Father please," I begged with tears streaming down my face. "I need to see a doctor. If I don't, I'll get worse. I might die…""Tell me, Sophia. If you get worse and die, does it affect me? Does it affect my pack?" The current Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack asked, focused on his paperwork.With a white cloth in my mouth, I coughed heartily. "I'll do anything you want, Father. But please don't let me die." I said, giving him the condition I knew he couldn't refuse."Anything?" He asked, looking at me who was lying on the floor, through the corner of his eyes."Yes. I'll do whatever you ask of me. As long as you permit me to get medical attention." I affirmed, sounding determined although I knew my stepfather's demands could be a bit crazy."Hmm," he smirked and placed a phone call to someone with a dirty smile that gave me goosebumps. What has he planned for me?Two minutes later, a man walked in with a brown file and white nylon popularly used by pharmacists. The man le
Sophia's POV"Yes,“ I answered shyly but the next moment I had goosebumps all over and I realized, he came from the left side, which was assigned to Alphas brought in by my stepfather, Alpha Victor."Is he the kind of mate that will save me from my stepfather? Or the one that will hand me over to him?" I asked myself, thinking of various scenarios of how this could turn out."Are you okay?" He asked, cupping my cheeks but I didn't move an inch or say a word. I just stared at his eyes, lost in thoughts.Since I was still in utter shock, he turned around, grabbed a handkerchief, and cleaned his stained body. Once he was done, he grabbed my hand and walked me to the podium, with the spotlight still on us.Whispers filled the hall as everyone stared at the Alpha and I, walking hand in hand. What does he want to do? Punish me? Or announce to the world that we are mates?On our way, my eyes met with my stepfather's. My heart drummed louder in my chest and I had goosebumps from the death sta
Sophia's POV"What are you going to do to me?" I coughed, feeling sick again.The man sneered. "You'll see soon enough," he replied cryptically. "The Alpha is on his way and when he comes we'll know whether to kill you or torture you," he laughed with the others, flaunting their weapons in my eyes.I looked around, trying to look for a way to leave or outsmart the men but there was nothing."Why are you doing this?" I asked, trying to stall for time. "Who is the Alpha who asked you to take me?"The man's expression darkened, and he grabbed my cheek roughly, making me wince in pain. "It's not our place to question the Alpha's orders," he growled. "We're just doing a job, and you've been marked for punishment."Marked for punishment? The words sent shivers down my spine. Who could be behind this? "Let's go. I'm starving! We can come back once the Alpha is ready to deal with her," one of the masked men said, rubbing his stomach.The rest of the men cheered and one of them spoke up again
Sophia's POVBut to my astonishment, the pain of the bullet never came. Instead, I heard a sharp thud followed by a loud groan. Cautiously, I opened my eyes to find another masked man standing between me and the leader, who now clutched his hand in pain."What the hell? Who are you?" the leader growled massaging his wrists. The new masked man fell to the ground, begging the leader. "I'm sorry boss. I didn't mean to hurt you. I brought urgent news and it was the only way I could stop you." He explained. "It better be good, or you'll die together!" He yelled, still massaging his wrists as they walked far from me, forming a circle and having a meeting.While they backed me, I wriggled and struggled to break free but still, the ropes were just too tight!They finished their little conversation and turned to face me, laughing evilly. "Looks like you aren't going to die by my gun after all," the leader said, pointing it to the sky. "Sedate her! We have a change of plans." He ordered the
Sophia's POVThe strange man smiled at me as I followed him quietly, "There is no need to be scared. Relax, you are at home here and I will not hurt you".I grew even more curious, "Who are you exactly and why are you being nice to me?".He stopped and I mistakenly bumped into him. "Ouch, I'm sorry about that. I rubbed on my forehead which bounced on his bulky muscled back.He waited some seconds before he turned to face me, "Have you always been this loud?"I was speechless. I stopped to think of what I wanted to say next before I opened my mouth to say it."Usually, I am around people who want me dead or at least want me trapped somewhere, you seem different".His expression had hardened. He didn't look as friendly and calm as he did at first."Do you enjoy being tied? Would you prefer I do that to you?"I shook my head profusely. Not. Who would want that?"I am sorry if I angered you with my questions, I'm just trying to know better".He nodded slowly. I noticed the thickness of th
Sophia's POVHe had a blank expression on his face as he dropped me gently on a bed. I felt butterflies in my bed as his soft hands grabbed onto my waist. He supported my back with claws."Lie here. I shall return with a cup of water". He walked away from me and returned with a full glass."Here".I took the glass from his hand and watched him grab a chair beside me.A maid came in with some balm and a bowl of water."Let her", he commanded and I obeyed. I rested comfortably on the pillow and watched the maid wash her hands. She laced it with a balm and took her hand to my neck. "Will it hurt?".She shook her head gently, "Alright".Her hands felt my skin and suddenly began to glow. "What is happening?", I asked but she pinned me down and continued."She's just healing you with her powers. Do not be afraid. Stay still". He warned. I didn't want to annoy him and so I agreed.She had finished and he sent her out. I thanked him."You're not supposed to stay here looking for ways to cau
