Sophia's POV
The 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 arm under it."I'll send Brody over to watch you," he said. I felt the bed rise as he got off."What about Charlotte? Will she be coming today?" I ask. I take my face off the pillow and look at where Titus was standing."She has a job at the pack house today watching the pups at daycare," he says."Doesn't Brody have his Beta duties today too?" I ask sitting back up on the bed."Yes but I still need someone to watch you." He walks into my closet for a few minutes and come out in a suit."Um how did you get that out of my closet?" I asked very confused."Well I put some of my clothes in here just in case," he explained. "I have to leave now but I'll promise I'll be back early tonight," he says. He kissed my cheek and left. I felt my wolf try to push her way out. She was restless from not being able to have a release.'I know you wanna shift but you have to wait a little bit more. We are still considered a rouge and if someone sees us they'll attack,' I said trying to convince her.'We can take them we're strong enough,' she answers back.'Yes but we can't attack Titus' pack," I said matter of factly. As much as I would like her to go on a run, we can't risk being found."Soph I'm coming and you better not fucking scare me," I heard Brody yell."I'm in my room but get ready I can always do a sneak attack," I yell back to him. I walk into my closet and lock the door. I scan my wardrobe and decided on a blue crop top and a pair of white jeans. I put on my fuzzy socks and then heard the bedroom door open. I walk out and see Brody looking in the room."Well I was thinking we were gonna go to the woods but you dressed so nice today. I would hate to ruin it," he says sarcastically. My wolf curses at me for choosing cute clothes.I groan, "Now I have to change cause my wolf is literally trying to claw her way out of me." I walk back into my closet and grabbed clothes I wouldn't mind ripping. I walk back out to find Brody sitting on the bed reading the Harry Potter book that was on my nightstand."Wait...am I aloud outside because I don't think Titus will be happy you brought me back out considering what happened yesterday.""Well you're gonna be in the protection of me and we're going on the restricted path so no one will find you," he says putting the book down."Okay number one I pretty sure I beat your ass yesterday so I'll be protecting you and, doesn't restricted mean not allowed of something. So why are we going there?" I ask."For the higher ranks only. Titus kept a piece of land for us to train on without being interrupted by pack members. It helps us keep our mind focused on training," he explains. I gave an 'oh' expression. I couldn't focus because my wolf was jumping around in excitement."Can we leave now because my wolf won't stop pestering me about letting her loose," I ask. He nodded and I silently thanked the moon god. I got on the porch and let the sun sink into my skin. I leaped off the steps and shifted mid air letting my wolf out. A large toothy wolf from plastered her face. Brody followed and shifted into his wolf. It was was a beautiful brown wolf that looked almost red if he stood in the sun. His wolf pointed his head into the forest and started to run. My wolf loud out a loud howl and followed him. We kept a steady pace with him almost running ahead of him. She wanted to run faster and enjoy the wind flowing through her fur but I pulled her back so that we could see where Brody was leading us. It was a difficult path filled with the roots of the y'all trees overhead. The rocks scattered the forest and the leaves was like another layer on top of the forest ground. In the distance I saw a white sign that wasn't easy to miss. As we passed it I scanned it.'Restricted area do not pass. Orders by Alpha Titus'The scent of Titus filled my senses with a mix of Brody and Jacob. He must use this area the most. As we ran through the forest I noticed the grooves in the trees. Claw marks scattered the trees along the path. There was also a tree with a large hole going through it. I caught a scent of blood passing it. It was old maybe a few weeks? As we got further into the forest, he started to slow down. The trees started to thin out and they eventually led to a large clearing. Before we could reach Brody stopped and went behind a tree. I heard bones crack and he came back out wearing shorts. He tossed me a shirt and boxers that smelled like Titus. It landed on my face and my wolf gave him a long glare He chuckled and mumbled a 'sorry.'"You can go change behind the trees over there," he pointed. My wolf was reluctant but I promised I'll take her hunting and she finally gave in. I shifted back and quickly threw the clothes on real quick and walked out."So this is the middle of the forest," he said leading me towards the opening of the forest. A beautiful lake came into view. It sparked in the sun and it was so clear I could see the bottom of the lake. It stretched at least a mile."Can you swim Soph?" He asked. I nodded and suddenly I wasn't on the ground but soaking wet. I was completely submerged under water. I swim all the way up and let out a gasp for air. I wipe the water from my face and push the hair out of my face."Brody what was that for!" I yell at him."Soph this is the beginning of your training," he gives a smug smile. He walks over to a boat i swear I didn't see just now. But it could also be how I was thrown into this lake. He pulled a rope out of it and tied it to the front of the boat and tossed the other end to me."What do you want me to do with this?" I ask holding it up."Pull me across this lake then maybe you'll pull me back. Depends on how fast you go," he says. He sits down and takes his phone out."And go." I groan and start pulling him across the lake."You're heavy," I mumble under my breath."I can still hear you," he shouts back. After about half and hour, I start to get tired. I continue to pull him then slip on a sharp rock. I let out a string of curses and see red pool into the clear water. I look behind me at the boat and see Brody sleeping. I look and see that the other side was only about 1/4 mile left. I let go of the rope and leave him stranded. I swim the rest of the way and lay on the ground. I look behind a large boulder and found fresh, dry clothes. After I change, I yelled as loud as I could and Brody jumped up almost tipping the boat."You're stuck there. Have fun," I laugh. I sit down on a nice flat boulder and watch Brody try to figure out how to get across."I hate you Soph," He yells."That's what you get for falling asleep," I yell back.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
We ran through the woods letting the wind pass through my fur. Her paws crush the leaves in the forest. It was getting windier and colder. It's a signal that winter was getting closer. The wind carried the scent of the deer. My wolf sped up leaving the Titus and Jacob behind. She followed the scent until we came up to a few deer. My wolf grinned and snuck low behind the trees. We slowly wait for a chance to pounce. I felt a nudge on my back leg and I almost let out a growl. I look and see Titus watching us. He points his snout towards them as if he was signaling for us to kill them. I spotted a fairly large female deer. He slowly crept our way towards her and she looked right at me. I let out a large animalistic growl and pounced. I land in her back and take a chunk out of her back. She let out a weird noise in pain and I fall under her. I clamp down on her back leg and she buckled from the pain. I swiftly move out from under her before she fell on me. She quickly tried to get up so s
Sophia's POVI stay in the bathroom with my back against the wall for awhile. I run my hand through my hair and finally get up. I look in the mirror and wash my face. I let out a big sigh as I walk out. I felt the link towards my wolf weaken as she disappeared somewhere in my mind. I walk down the hall knowing Titus was no where near. His scent was in the house but it wasn't fresh. I look down at my shirt and it was wet from all my crying. It kept replaying in my head."He didn't want me""He never wanted me""He should have left me to die"I had to do everything in my power to not start crying again. I take the orange juice out of the fridge and pour myself a glass. I decided I'm going to drown my sorrows in juice. I continue to drink my juice but then an unfamiliar scent filled the house.I immediately freeze and get up. I find the closest object I could find and it was a dirty frying pan from this mornings breakfast. I hide under the counter and see a buff guy walk into the kitchen
Sophia's POVI let the steaming water fill the bathtub. I don't mind the hot water. It was soothing against my bruised and cut up body. I climb into the bath letting the blood on my body seep into the water. The water became a shade of pink mixed in with dirt that sank to the bottom. I let out a groan in annoyance. I'll have to change the water again now that it's dirty. I climb out and wrap a towel around my body and drain the water. I rinse the dirt down the drain and I started to fill the water up again. I walk into my bedroom and look out the window. My eyes scan the edge of the woods and I sense someone or something out there. In the midst of the trees, I see a wolf with red eyes looking at something at the bottom of the tree. I see something tiny start to move and a child, no older than 4, trembling at the bottom of the tree. I quickly threw my towel off and flung the door open to the balcony. I jump over the edge and let my wolf take full control. She broke through the prison o
Sophia's POVI lay Tala in my bed and cover her. I was tense and stressed. How could I take care of a child when I can barely take care of myself? I needed to scream or break something or I'm going to lose it. I run out of my room and into the cold night. It was nearing winter, or maybe it was. I've lost track of days lately. Everything from my pasta is coming to bite me into in my ass. I run into the woods that was probably not safe considering the number of rouge attacks but I can hold my own. I run to the area sectioned off for high ranks and shift back to skin. I don't bother to find any clothes considering I couldn't sense anyone here.I find a tree to use it as a punching bag. I take in a deep breath and let out a large scream. Tears run down my face and I sink down and support myself on the tree. My life is falling apart right in front of my eyes. I felt week and helpless like I did when I was first kidnapped. I let out a shaky breath and run my hands through my hair and put my
"You need to go back to sleep Tala," I tell her and pick her up."I heard you scream," she says. I curse in Italian and lay her back in bed."I'm okay Tala but you need to go to sleep," I tell her tucking her in."Can you lay down with me?" She asks me with puppy dog eyes. I sigh and close the door and lay down next to her. "Is the big guy with brown hair your husband?" She asks. I almost choked when she said that."No he's a friend," I tell her. She nods and cuddles up next to me. Her breathing evens and she falls asleep. I sigh as her body comes closer to mine. There was a knock on the door and it opened. Titus walked in and I froze."Get out," I say. "Tala is sleeping I'm not doing this right now," I growl at him. The rumble in my chest made her start to move a little.---"Luna," someone said waking me up. I look up and see the light shining through the curtains. I turn my head and see Charlotte standing there."Good morning," I mumble to her. I look down and I see Tala sleeping s
