SOPHIA POVIt's been a week since the threat with Xylah and I don't see her doing anything. Her father still talks to me like nothing is wrong.And although she avoids me, she still gives me a warm smile when we pass, or maybe it's because I'm always with Roman. I couldn't tell whether they were playing safe or they already had a plan.It made me reduce the time I went to the wood's to fight rogue, I didn't want her to tell Roman about that. I only go on the weekends as she is usually busy and not around till weekdays.It was an annoying thing I hated. I have to change but when I go to the wood's by the weekend, I make sure to kill a lot, so I will feel satisfied to face the weekend.Another thing was Roman would be available today, the thought of him made me smile.I got extra ready today, wore a new nightwear, a sexy one and put on a different fragrance.I did my hair into a loose bun and lay as if I was asleep. After looking at the ceiling for what seemed like hours, I heard foot
SOPHIA POVI can't believe he agreed, I'm so overwhelmed by his actions, as I heard outside, he tells me to excuse him as he has a lot to prepare for.It was understandable, I do have a lot to prepare for and I left him. In the evening, he made the announcement that I will be competing for the Beta position.And the arena was already set for tomorrow, my handmaid told me that his uncle, Kai and even Xylah have been tripping in and out his office and when he came to the room, he looked really tired.Even when he joined me in bed, I could tell that he was trying to keep his eyes open but failed as he soon slept off, holding me tightly to his chest.I followed suit but had woken up much earlier to have my bath and prepared. He woke up while I was dressing and wrapped his hands on my waist, pulling me close to him."Roman," I softly called as he sighed. "I'm risking a lot for you Sophia, please be safe," he mumbled."Thank you," I paused as I tried desperately hard to call him a sweet nam
ROMAN POV.Sophia was making a reckless move and I struggled so hard to stop the game. I'm not full of noticing Kai's intentions on each attack.I couldn't help standing seeing what was happening. "Is this how I am going to lose my Sophia," I thought seeing what was happening. I looked at her handmaid who had covered her eyes in fear and was shaking so badly.This was similar to how I felt inside, I wanted to go down there and fight Sophia, beating him for all that time he hurt her, I wanted to deliver him the same pain. My desperation to end the match only grew. I wanted to do all this but I couldn't.There was a change in her movement in the last bit, she slid in between his head, pushing herself up to give land a kick on his head, two on his side and the last on the stomach which had him rolling on the floor.She then squatted above him, using one leg to pin down his hand so he won't take his sword and then she pointed her spear at him. "She won,"I exclaimed inside me, even Bryce
SOPHIA POV.The next morning, I woke up to Roman not in the room anymore but my handmaid standing there. "Good morning, Sophia," she greeted."Oh you called me by my name," I mumbled. "Oh no, don't feel bad, I'm actually surprised," I said."You seem so happy," I noted. "Well, I used to be an ordinary maid and then I became the queen handmaid and I became the head maid and now am the beta maid, do you know how big of a deal it is," she excitedly says.."I'm so happy for you," I tell her. "You seem happy, is it because it was the first day," she asked."No, it's something else, besides I have been a beta before," I said. "What do you know about a mating ritual?" I asked her, out of curiosity."I heard it's painful for first timers but the pain becomes desirable," she replied. "Painful," I muttered. "Well it the first time everything as he is going to mark you with his symbol, so there is the pain of his teeth digging into you," she replied."The mark helps a lot, it deepens the bond,
SOPHIA POV.When I woke up, Roman was not by my side any longer but there was a note confirming he would return.Taking this opportunity not to be seen naked by him, I headed to the bathroom and had my bath, wearing the same dress I had worn to come here yesterday.He already made breakfast for me and I soon. His car drives in halfway down my meal and he comes in looking all down."What's wrong, anything happened?" I asked as he sat down hopelessly taking his food."I wanted this to go on for two days, I wanted us to stay here for two days and alone," he muttered."But," he paused. "But those assholes," he went on."Roman, you know I'm not going to understand you until you explain properly," I told him."Well, they are attacking, they want to go to war in the next full moon, they feel that they are well equipped,""And someone tipped them that we have not been training, so they think it is the best time to attack," he explained.I didn't even want to ask how he got to know all this as
SOPHIA POV.I was running into the north with the map pictured in my head. I have planned it ahead, so I know everything.Two men came rushing at me when I was close to a trap and I led to it. They mocked when they saw me running and foolishly followed me down.The trap instantly killed them as it was one of the deadly ones. As I proceeded further, I noticed the majority of their men left were heading in my direction.Many of which the trap had taken down. They were instructed to go after me, feeling that my soldier would be weakened if I'm injured or dead.It was perfect for me and I loved the idea. There were a lot of traps and if the trap didn't get them and if the trap didn't work then my spear was ready.My plan was to lead them to the trap and finish off the ones the trap left alive a bit. They soon realize that they were trapped.They had nowhere to go, with Roman working his way in the south and my soldiers positioned in the west and east.The north they felt was safe was no
SOPHIA POVI was in a new place with Roman, it was just us, alone in one of his private houses. I was sitting outside, watching the beautiful sunset.It was heaven and was far from the problem of Xylah and Bryce. Roman was in the kitchen, he was making breakfast and wanted me to wait outside in the balcony till the food was ready.He had called many times, shouting my name and asking questions. He claimed what he was making would make me love him more..He seemed serious about it and it might actually work, as the whole house had a nice fragrance and it made me get hungry by the minute.He comes with a tray in his hand, the pancakes having HAPPY BIRTHDAY written in bold letters.It was a lovely breakfast dinner, consisting of a cup of coffee, a design with a heart, a pancake, and a mini chocolate cake.The donut was heart shaped with juice by the side and the main dish was pasta. "I'm going to get fat," I complained, as he smiled, kissing me."Well, you would still have my heart," he
ROMAN POV.I was in my office, planning a surprise along with Xylah when I heard Sophia screamed, echoed.I was sure it was hers because it was not the first time it was happening. Rushing to our room, I found her struggling to wake up and when she did, she rested on me, crying so hard.Her current behavior was now threatening and the funny thing is she won't tell me, she would rather remain quiet than complain.This hurt me as I thought I have created an atmosphere where she can be able to trust me but I guess she does not see it as anything.After a while of asking and she not replying, I stood up, I knew I would have to call her handmaid to help with the distraction.I got outside to find Sophia already questioning her maid and thus offered to lead her to the room myself."Remember, she is not to use any horses or cars," I instructed as she nodded. "Take the longest route possible," I continue."I understand sir, I will delay her and I will get her ready, bringing her early also,"
