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
I found Luke as usual in his office. He looked up in surprise as I came in with the baby and immediately reached out to embrace the both of us."Welcome home once again, Sophie" He said, as he hugged us. He smelled good and the hug was warm so we both lingered in it for a while. Bryce made a squeal which disrupted the moment and we pulled apart."So how are you holding up," He said, returning back to his seat."Quite good, just a few nightmares but who doesn't have those these days. I can't complain," I said with a shrug."I miss you," He said, looking at me intently and I knew he really did."I missed you all," I said guardedly, careful of where the conversation was going. After everything, Luke was still Luke and I had once had something for him."So what did you notice while you were with Sinclair? I couldn't believe it when Magnus told me that he was responsible for everything that had happened," He said, shaking his fist. Apparently, the subject was an annoying one for him to han
SOPHIE POVNo matter how much I tried to convince myself that it might be a hallucination, my instincts insisted that I had actually caught sight of the queen. It made me wonder, what was she doing there? Could it be that she had come to spy on me? Was she working with the enemies again? Or had she come to check up on me? My mind was troubled, the possibilities surrounding her appearance were many, and I hoped none of them were connected to working with the enemy. I've done my best to convince Magnus that she wasn't a traitor, he had promised to tone down her punishment a little. If she was working with the enemy again, then there was no redemption for her this time around. I moved on from the possibilities of the queen being a traitor and focused on the possibility that she might have had people with her. And what if they had spotted me? There was no way I was going to let myself get kidnapped a second time, being sold to Kal Fang was not something I desired. I reached home and Ma
SOPHIE POV"Tell me about Magnus. What does he like? In summary, just tell me everything I need to know about him since you've been here for long." I demanded from Eirik as we strolled through the cold forest. He fell silent for a while, and for two whole minutes I was left with my thoughts, and the soothing sounds of nocturnal animals. Eirik was in deep thought, Magnus wasn't an open man to those he didn't trust, so I figured he was trying to recall as much as he could. He always did his best to give me the best of his ability, and I respected him for that. Others might immediately give me shallow information, things that I might already be familiar with. But Eirik knew that this was very important. He was emotionally smart, I probably knew more about Magnus than he did, for me to ask him this question meant that I wanted something more than just basic information. "The king is a kind man even though he doesn't always show it. We Lycans aren't especially liked by society, since we w
SOPHIE POVI got into the white Skoda Octavia immediately Magnus had agreed to my demands. It had taken much longer than I'd anticipated, but I finally managed to get him to change his mind. He argued that the members of the council weren't familiar with me, and I countered him by arguing that this was the perfect opportunity for me to bond with them. If they weren't familiar with me, then shouldn't I try to get to know them?After that, Magnus had finally conceded defeat and had given me what I wanted. He gave me a book containing every event that had gone down in the kingdom for the month. I was to study them closely, find the flaws in the previous month's decisions, and come up with a better way to help the kingdom. It wasn't exactly difficult, but I knew that things would change the instant I step into a room filled with proud and hateful Lycans.I swallowed hard, and calmed myself down. I already knew this wouldn't be easy, so there was no need to panic over something that was
MAGNUS POVI paced around restless on the bed as I couldn't sleep. I thought of Sophie and longed for her closeness. I didn't see how she was still weak, especially after the energetic performance she had given earlier in the day at the council. My inner wolf too was craving her company, staying away from her these few days had been hard.I got up and made my way to her room to see her. When I got there, the room was empty. The bed didn't even appear to have been slept in. My first instinct was that she had been attacked or kidnapped but it didn't make sense. There was no way they could get to her seeing as the security measures around had been improved. I looked out of her window to see her training with someone. I got furious on seeing them. It appeared to be her guard, Eirik or so. She was indeed only training with Eirik, her personal guard, under the moonlight. But it was night and she had lied The relief came from knowing she was safe and under the watchful eye of a skilled war
SOPHIE POVI woke up sore the next day to an empty bed. I found a note on the table by Magnus telling me to get ready for his grandfather who was coming to the kingdom to visit. His name was Alpha King Maximus . Apparently, he was Magnus mother's father and a powerful alliance. He was coming since he was shocked by the news that his daughter had teamed up with Kal fang.I hurried to change up for the day making sure I was spotless. One never knew how grandfathers could get once they were angry. My main fault as a werewolf already could trigger off his racist personality. From what I had seen, every Lycan royalty had one.I was fortunate to be down there with Magnus just as he arrived.I'm not sure of how I expected the queen's father, Alpha Maximus to look but it was certainly not this way. He was huge and looked very intimidating. I could see the resemblance between us, he had my raven hair and honey brown eyes. His beard covered a large part of his face though. He looked like he was
MAGNUS POVDespite my initial irritation with Sophie and my actions, I found myself thinking of her and considering granting her request to be free. I realized that confining her within the castle wouldn't do her or our relationship any good. Sure enough, as if summoned by my thoughts, she appeared suddenly heading in my direction.As she approached me, I couldn't help but feel a wave of exhaustion wash over me. The day had been stressful as it was and I wasn't in the mood for more demands."What is it now, Sophie?" I sighed, my fingers massaging my temples in a futile attempt to ease the tension building up between us.She met my gaze with an unwavering determination. "Magnus, I understand your concern for my safety, but I can't remain confined within these walls like a prisoner. I need to explore the kingdom, understand its people, and embrace my role as Luna. I promise I'll exercise caution."Her words tugged at my conflicting emotions. On one hand, I wanted to protect her from any
