SOPHIE POVAs I stormed out of Luke's office, I felt a whirlwind of emotions churn within me. The revelation that Magnus might be hiding something important about the investigators sent shockwaves through my mind. If he was keeping such a crucial secret from me, what could possibly be his motive? It only added to my growing list of concerns.I needed answers, but the idea of confronting Magnus weighed on me. If Luke's claim was true, and if I challenged Magnus about it, he would undoubtedly suspect that it was Luke that told me. There was no other way I would have known. Despite my anger, the last thing I wanted was to cause a rift between them both.Walking back to my room, I couldn't help but think about Luke's confession of his feelings for me. That was another complication I didn't need, especially with all that was going on at the moment. I couldn't afford to let any romantic entanglements with him jeopardize my stay here with Magnus. Based on his reaction, he had been keeping it
SOPHIE POVI woke up with a start to find myself holding Magnus closely. I had just had a terrible nightmare. I had seen Kal fang chasing me, he had been about to cut me down with his claws when I had woken up. I snuggled more against Magnus body. He had clearly missed me which was evident by how passionate he was the previous night. Judging from his eyes, it also seemed like he hadn't been sleeping well these past days.It was the early hours of the morning and the cold was biting. I threw on the warm covers once more and went into a light sleep.I woke you to someone nuzzling my nose. Magnus tickled my stomach when he saw that I had opened my eyes. I remembered what Sinclair had told him when we were at the tradeoff. He has talked about how Magnus was weak and soft compared to other Lycan kings that he knew. It made me appreciate what I had more and see Magnus in an entirely new light. I had thought him so callous. Frightening to think that they were others worse than him."Good mo
MAGNUS POVI folded the paper not knowing what to think about what I had just read. There was a strong possibility that this was just a ruse by him to fuck with my head. There had to be a grain of truth in them though because why else would a common Alpha have the guts to make such a bold lie. Sophie had been acting distant and weird around me lately too which added weight to the whole thing."You look so pale right now," Luke said, coming over to me."No, I'm fine. Must be the lighting here," I replied, trying to ward him off. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone around now."No really, it's not the lighting. What's that in your hand? Some bad news?" He said, pointing to the letter in my hands."Get your hands off me," I snapped at him a little too loudly, attracting stares from the people nearby. I walked away from the hall feeling annoyed with the loud celebration and festivities going on. You would think they really cared about the kingdom's welfare from their celebration, the m
SOPHIE POV"Why are you glaring at me like that?, if anything you should be scared of what I'm about to say right now. I want nothing but the truth from you," Magnus said pointing his finger at me."I think you should be the one scared here, thinking as you lied to me," I said to him as I finally sat down."What are you talking about?," He asked looking at me strangely."I'm talking about my parents case. Isn't that what this is about?," I asked, looking puzzled."No. What about it?," He asked, suddenly looking suspicious."Nothing, it just slipped out. What was it you wanted to tell me again?," I asked, trying to get him off the topic. It would be a miracle if I did. Magnus was usually a hound in these kind of situations."You're not putting this off, what is it?" He said, banging his fist on the table and startling me."I thought you were about to confess," I blurted out, scared by his sudden show of temper."Confess what?. Who did you talk to?" He said, still pushing on."Nobody, s

MAGNUS POVI sat on the armchair in my office, my thoughts, a juxtaposition of disturbing questions. Questions whose answers seem too bleak; like I wouldn't be finding any authentic answers anytime soon. It was way too overwhelming for my grasp and the more I thought about it, the more my anger and something else…Something that seemed too extra for a strong person like myself – hurt. I felt way too provoked and hurt right now. It was true that a woman would always be a man’s greatest weakness. Who would have thought my heart would feel so heavy like they were going to burst all because of a woman? But then, this stretches beyond being about ‘just a woman’. This was about our baby. This was about betrayal. True, there was a huge chance that Jax was lying and only had a plan under his sleeve. Yet, there was a slight possibility that it was true.I needed some sort of distraction. I hadn't been too hard on Sophie during our last encounter because I didn't want to hurt her. The Goddess b
SOPHIE POVMy heart had grown heavier since the confrontation with Jax. I think Magnus has been avoiding me ever since. I know Olivia is Magnus’s. It's insane that Magnus could allow that filthy liar to come in between us.It's even more crazy that Jax would stoop so low to ruin my marriage. The bloody clown!If only…If only Magnus trusted me well enough, he’d never believe the words of a third party over mine. Trust is the core foundation of every relationship. The zeal to stand by your partner, to defend them in the face of adversaries like Jax, and stand firmly on your trust in their capabilities — that's love.That's the real concept of a bond. Should Magnus let this hurt us, he has then failed as a lover, a husband, and a father.I should be crazily mad at him right now but I can't help but be worried. Of what the betrayer he thought I was would do to him. He would not and never be okay whilst battling with the possibility that I had lied to him.He was only hurting himself becau
SOPHIE POVI was again sitting with Luke but this time, it was in the throne room rather than mine. We chose to have a meeting and discuss the moves to take to locate Magnus.“It's crazy to even think that Magnus could go missing.” Luke sighed out loud.“What’s done is done now, Luke. Let's not deviate from the main course of the discussion. A solution is all we need right now. We can not afford to have a temporary King take over Magnus’s throne.” I chastised, sounding all desperate and impatient.I mean, it wasn't Luke’s fault that Magnus was missing but in this case, I couldn't help but displace my emotions.Luke was too humble a man to pick an offense though. “I know, Sophie. It just hits me hard every time. I will just organize search parties first. It’d be nice if the search yields results but if they don't, we would think of the next line of action.” He said.I nodded.“You know what, Sophie?” He turned to me. I looked at him. “I will just start the search right away. You return
