Sophia's POV
"When can she leave?" Alpha Titus asks the doctor. I think her name is Dr. Jones."After you sign this paperwork," she says handing him a clipboard and a pen. He scans through the papers and doesn't write anything."What's your name Angel?" He asks. I realize that I only know his name because he's the strongest Alpha but he doesn't know mine. My wolf jumped in my head when he called us Angel."Sophia Moretti," I say. He writes a few things down on the pages. Then asks about my age, then birth parents names. He hands Dr. Jones back the clipboard then let's us leave."The pack house is down this pathway," he points. "But our house is further down.""I'm staying with you?" I ask in surprise. "I can stay in the pack house, I don't mind." He growls when I say that."Mine," he growls."I was just offering I don't want to be in the way," I say trying to calm his wolf down"No you're mine you stay with me.""I can stay with you too," I say as we continue walking towards his house. His eyes flash back to his blue eyes."So do you have any siblings?" I ask."Yeah a brother. He's two years younger than me. You?""I have a sister named Laura and a brother named James. James is 21 and Laura is 5," I explain. Age difference is a common thing around wolves so, the 13 year age difference isn't a big deal."Does your brother have a mate?" He asks."No, we suspect she's in a different pack," I say. I felt comfortable talking with him. I usually don't around people I don't know. As we passed the pack house, there was a house a little bit smaller than the pack house but looked more expensive. I scanned the house looking for one thing, a garden. In the front there was flower beds surrounding the side of the house."You have a garden!" I smile looking at him. He laughs and nods. I feel the blood rushing to my face in embarrassment and I look away."My mom used to care for the flowers then she got into cooking. You can use the garden for whatever you like," he says."Really?" I said getting excited."Yeah feel free to do anything." I smile and think of all the things I could do. Alpha Titus opens the door and the interior was beautiful. I gasp in shock. I look up and the carvings in the ceiling was intricate."I had this house made a few years ago," He says continuing to walk up the stairs."Alpha Titus it's beautiful," I compliment.He growls, "Don't call me Alpha just Titus. We are equals as mates.""S-Sorry Alp- Titus," I correct myself. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He walked down a hallway and into a room. When we walked in, Titus' scent was clear in this room.'This is his room,' I tell my wolf."This is my room. You can stay in here or in a guest room," he says. I look around the room and my eyes land on a picture. I walk to the table it was on and look at it. There was a beautiful red head girl with perfect blue eyes. I heard Titus say something but I wasn't listening. My only thought was that she was his girlfriend or wife. My wolf whimpers at the thoughtful our mate having a relationship."That's my first mate Brooke," He says breaking me from my thoughts."I met her a few years ago. She was human. I met her the day she died." Apart of me felt happy that he wasn't with anyone else but also sad that he had to go through that."She was in a car crash with her boyfriend. I was in the streets coming back from a rogue in the border and there was a large crash. My wolf pushed me to go check it out and I saw my mate bloody and cut up from the impact. There was a strong smell of alcohol. I became depressed for a few months then Brody, my beta, pulled me out of it. He would do things to distract me like sparring with me to get my anger out.""I'm sorry," I whisper feeling bad that he had to tell me."It's okay," he says putting his hand on my cheek. I look up at him and smile. I felt safe with him. I didn't want to go back to my pack. I want to stay here."Can I stay in a guest room for now?" I ask."What ever you want angel," he smiles. No one calls me pet names except Dad but the only thing he calls me is sweetheart. He leads me to a room right across from his."My room is right across from yours if you need anything," he says."I don't have any clothes," I whisper."I can get one of my omegas to buy you some I just need you to write your sizes down," he says."Okay I'll do it later. What time is it?" I ask."9:47 PM are you hungry?" He asks me."Kind off," I say fiddling with my fingers. He nods his head and leads me to the kitchen. He opens the fridge and it was packed with all sorts of things."Do you want pasta?" He asks looking in the fridge."Sure," I say sitting down on the barstool on the island. He started making pasta and talking to me."What do you want to ask me?" he asks."Are the stories true?" I ask immediately. The stories of Alpha Titus torturing his pack and any trespassers. Him overworking his warriors and elite wolves. The Scarlet Pack torture chambers. These stories are told to us when we are small to teach us not to run away and get caught by them. Look where I am now."Most of them. About the torture chambers meant for traitors and rogues. But, I don't starve and torture my pack. I'd risk my life for them. I care for my pack but other packs can't know that. They would take advantage of that.""Where did you get that scar?" I ask pointing at his arm. There was a large line down his left arm."I got this when the Yellow Crescent pack attached when my dad was Alpha," he says continuing to make the pasta."When you were 16?" I gasp."Yeah," he says lowly. The story of his dad was known throughout the world. He was one of the greatest Alpha's to ever live. He died protecting Luna Kate, Titus' mom."Alpha Kade used a silver knife and dragged it down my arm," he explains."He used silver against his own wolves?" I say shocked. The details of the pack war was private to other packs."Yeah I killed him though for what he did to my Dad," he says pouring the sauce and pasta in two plates. He grabbed forks and cheese and sat down next to me. I grabbed a handful of cheese and pour it on my pasta and took a bite."This is so good," I moan."I'm glad you like it," he laughs.---"I don't have anything to sleep in," I say. I had been wearing an omegas clothes for the day."Here," Titus says taking off his shirt and tossing it to me.'I smells like him,' my wolf says. I slip it on and it stopped at my knees."I'll be across the hall if you need anything," he says. "Goodnight," he whispers and leaves. I get in bed and off the lights and immediately fell asleep.---FlashbackDay 2I was in silver handcuffs hung up on the wall."Why isn't the silver or wolfsbane not working on her," someone growls."Look at her birthmark it's protecting her," another mystery voice says. I had a birthmark on my shoulder in the shape of a crescent moon. I thought it was because I am in the Blue Crescent Wolves."We need to get rid of it," I heard the first voice growl. Then there was a loud bang.End of FlashbackI woke up to a piercing scream. Then I realized it was mine. My breathing was heavy and there was sweat down my face. The door flung open and Titus came running to me.
"Are you okay are you hurt?" He says looking me up and down."I had a nightmare," I said tears streaming down my face."Shh it's okay," he says putting my head in the crook of his neck. He puts one hand on my head and one on my back."It's okay just breathe," he says. I take a deep breath. Titus' scent calms my wolf and I down."I'm okay," I choke out between cries trying to pull away."Don't," he says to get me to stop moving. He holds me until I control my tears. His hold was comforting enough to make me fall asleep again.Titus Stone's POVI heard Sophia's heart beat even out letting me know she's asleep. My wolf loves the fact that our mate fell asleep in out arms. I slowly pick her up bridal style and brought her over to my room. I gently laid her on the bed. I turn off the lamp and lay next to her. She starts to stir but I put my arm around her waist. She started to return back to her sleep."Goodnight Angel," I whisper. The Moon Goddess blessed us both with second chance mates. I couldn't ask for a better one. I kiss her temple and fall asleep.Sophia's POVI woke up in a familiar room but not the one I fell asleep in. The memories came flooding back from last night. I was in Titus' room. I looked over my shoulder and no one was there. I felt the spot where the blanket wasn't covering. It was warm. Someone was just on there. My guess is Titus. The bathroom door swings open and he walks out."I have pack work today I won't be back till later tonight. Stay in the house. Mind link me of Brody if you need anything. There are two guards in the front and two in the back," he says distantly. My wolf notices and lightly whines. Does he realize I'm not in his pack. I can't mind link.'We just met him yesterday, don't be quick to judge,' I remind her."I will send a maid to help you with your needs," he says then walks out.I sigh. I thought he would be nicer today. Maybe it's because of my outburst last night. Maybe he doesn't want me anymore like Terry didn't. My wolf let out a soft whine. I walk towards to the kitchen and open the
Sophia's POVI wake up in another cold sweat and tears down my face. The only difference from last time is that Titus didn't come and comfort me. I sit up and try to calm myself down. I try to do those breathing exercises my family always tries to get me to do. My breathing began to become shorter and choppier. The back of my throat became dry so I got up still trying to calm myself down. I walk outside, my vision still blurry from just waking up so suddenly, and pour myself a cup of water. I gulp it down and it helps my breathing a bit. I walk to the front door and see a guard."Can you ask Beta Brody to come here?" I ask through hiccups. He nods silently. He looks like he blanked into space which let me know he was using mind-link. Minutes later the doors open and Brody walks in. He looks like he just woke up."Are you okay Soph," He says looking at me."N-no," I hiccup. I wrap my arms around his body but he doesn't do it back."Soph Titus wont be happy if my scent is on you," he sa
Sophia's POV"So what's your story? How did you become gamma of the most powerful pack in the continent?" I ask Jacob."Well I grew up with Titus and Brody. Our moms were friends and we were inseparable. As we grew older nothing changed and when Alpha Derek died we helped him get through it," He explains."Have you found your mate yet?" I ask. When I mention mate his eyes soften."I had a mate. I mean I still do but she left me for someone else. They're in Europe now traveling their world," He says. "As long as she's happy then that's all I need to know to keep my wolf at bay.""But she's your mate doesn't it hurt you and your wolf that she's with another man?" I ask. It's strange that he's happy for her knowing she's not with him."When I turned 18 I wanted to find my mate and make her happy. If that means that I have to let her go with someone else and she's happy I'm okay with that. Maybe I'll find someone else someday," He sighs. I want him to. He would treat her well and take car
Sophia's POVI storm my way back into the Alpha's house mumbling under my breath the whole way."Fottuto pezzo di merda. Non avrei mai dovuto venire a questo pacchetto. (Fucking piece of shit. I should have never come to this pack)," I mumble under my breath. I was perfectly fine by myself and he just had to butt in."Sophia get back here now," I heard Titus yell at me. I turned around and stopped."Have you gotten it through your thick head that you've decided to stop acting like a dick and realize that no matter what you try that the stupid mate pull will still bring us together. Mates are supposed to take care of each other and while I'm having a panic attack in the other room you don't even think about coming to calm me down. I had top call Brody and you got jealous of him. You should be glad or you would have to deal with me for hours crying. Do you even know what happens when I have those dreams?" He stays silent."I don't know why you decided to act like you cared for me the fi
Sophia's POVThe bright light peeked through the curtains waking me up. I groan and try to turn the other way but I couldn't move. I look down and saw Titus' arms wrapped securely around my waist. I accepted defeat and just shielded my eyes by hiding my face in his chest. He shifted a little but then relaxed. His scent was intoxicating to my nose but it relaxed me. I started to fall asleep again but then Titus sighed and tensed up again. He was awake now. Then, I realized that my bladder was full."Titus," I whisper as I poke his face. He groans and turns his body bringing me with him. I let out a squeal and land on top of him."You're not helping my bladder," I groan. He lets me go with a smile on his face. I mumbled a thanks and quickly went to the bathroom. I walk back out and sink into the bed."Do you have Alpha work today?" I ask him when I get comfortable in the blanket."Unfortunately," he says setting his phone down. I let out a groan and lay face down on my pillow and put my
Sophia's POVBrody finally made it back to land with the boat. I stay in my seat as I watch him grumble about me."Did you like swimming?" I laugh."Your lucky your our future Luna and I like you or else I would throw you right back in," he says taking his shirt off. I walk over to him and he shakes his hair off on me."Hey watch it I'm finally dry waiting for you to cross the rest of the lake," I say slapping him."Well this wouldn't happen if you didn't leave me stranded," he says throwing his shirt on me. I groan because now my shirt is wet."Brodyyy," I groan. He gives me a smirk and then starts taking his shorts off."Woah there hi behind the trees," I say pointing to the cluster of trees."Oops sorry," he says quickly running over to the trees. He comes out wearing fresh clothes."Can we go hunting because I promised my wolf we would find some deer or something," I ask him."I just changed," he groaned."Oh well," I say. I let my wolf come forward tearing the clothes in the proc
Sophia's POVFlashbackDay 14I felt the chains that held me up to the wall. I fell to the ground having no will to keep going. The hair fell over my face and my cut up clothes barely covered me."You have to eat before they get back," I heard a voice say. I was lifted up and the smell of fresh food made my mouth drool."You need to eat this not the shatter the plate," the lady said and walks off."Wait!" I blurt out. She turns around confused. I got to see her face and knew I would never forget her."What's your name?" I ask her quickly."Wake up Sophia," she said."What?""Wake up!"End of FlashbackI open my eyes and see a very shirtless Titus in front of me."Your family is on pack lands we need to get ready they should make it to the pack lands in an hour," he says tapping me. I let out a groan and turn the other way."Give me 5 more minutes," I mumble. I didn't get a reply so I assumed he left me so I could sleep a little bit longer. Suddenly there was a cold shock across my bod
Sophia's POV"Amelia?"Her face was torn up with gashes down her torso and legs. I pull her head on my lap and quickly put my ear to her nose to check her nose. I lay her head back on the ground and stand up."She's dead," I sigh and tell Titus and back away from her body."Who is she and why is her body on my land?" He asks me. I let out a loud sigh and look at her lifeless body letting the memories sink back in. I open my mouth to start telling him but then I realize that he doesn't know that I was kidnaped my rogues when I was younger."I'll tell you later. I think I need to tell you with Brody and Jacob," I tell him. He walks over to the body and picks something of of her. He holds it up to show me."A note?" I ask. Why would there be a note on her body."Do you remember how I told you about threats made towards us because we're mated?" He asks me. I think back to the conversation and nod."Well we just got our 2nd threat.""What does it say?" I ask walking up next to him.---"I
