Luna Sophia's Retribution Chapter 25: "I'll be back."
It feels like my head is burning.I look at the post again, fully taking Alora’s phone from her and glancing more at the screen because what?Alora’s voice comes out timid and rattled when she speaks.“He… he posted that last night, after the pictures came out. He’s gotten more than seven thousand likes on it. A lot of comments, and in all those comments, there are people pushing forward the narrative of you being an unfaithful woman.A… a dumb woman.Being a whore.”A cold feeling envelopes me and I let it go all the way to my toes, because no way. An unbelieving chuckle slips out of my mouth because there is no way.There’s no way Ulric did something like this. I go to the comments section and it’s just like Alora said. People are bashing me all around.Most of their profiles lead to blank profile pages, no content or posts about them, they’re literally blank entities on the internet, but they’ve decided they have a say in my life.Other people, werewolves, werecats, were leopards
Luna Sophia's Retribution Chapter 26: "You've provoked people, Sophia"
“Well, are you going to tell her?”I pause outside the door to my room and I hold my breath. Caelum’s low growl is what comes next and I can sense his displeasure before he even says it.“I said I would tell her when the time was right.”I barge in immediately and I cock an eyebrow at both of them as their heads snap to me, I ask,“You’d tell me what when the time is right?”Caleum’s gaze feels hot on me and it lingers for a while, it lingers for a long second, until he scoffs and looks away.“Bold of you to assume you were the one being spoken of.”I feel my anger peak immediately and I grit my teeth as I respond,“So there’s someone else in your life at the moment you spent the whole night with?”I don’t know why I say that, I just know it slips out of my mouth and it’s stupid the minute it does, I know it’s stupid and I wait for the jab, the snide retort that should come from Caelum at my half-wit statement,Instead, I see something else happen.Something strange.Caelum stares at
Luna Sophia's Retribution Chapter 27: "I have an empty garden."
“I don’t think you’ll get anything there Luna Sophia.Club Midnight has one of the shittiest websites ever.”Alora’s advice is doing nothing to soothe me and I find a growl rising at the back of my throat. I really don’t care about the website or if it’s shitty or not.What I want to get is information. Something must have happened at the Club last night.Caelum is refusing to say anything, and I can't force him to say it. His attitude in there threw me off, it would have been unreasonable to attack him with my words when he was being so gentle with his.I click on a link and immediately I am directed to a betting site. I curse under my breath because Alora is right, Club Midnight’s website is shit.This thing looks like it hasn’t been updated in ages.“I… I could help you help..”I whip my head to Alora and she snaps her mouth shut immediately.I’m still annoyed… I'm still annoyed at something. Maybe it’s the fact that she didn’t tell me about her knowing Caelum, or maybe it’s just b
Luna Sophia's Retribution Chapter 28: "All that's happening here is bigger than you."
Something goofy in my heart makes me shake my head and bite my lower lip as I pack the little things I have into a small bag.The same small bag I came here with.I can remember when I was unloading the contents of this bag, I had been filled with an undeniable sense of sadness. I tried to hide it then. Tried to power through it.Now I'm packing the bag again, and I can't deny, I don't feel so bad. Not as bad as I thought I would feel when I was packing up again.He… He said he has a garden. An empty garden.Somehow the thought of that has my stomach clenching and uncertain feelings running through my heart, because Caelum could have chosen to be a dick. Pardon the unseemingly word.But I am right. He could have chosen to hold the knowledge of what had happened last night over my head, knowledge I do not have and cannot have as long as I don't remember.Yet he didn’t do that.Instead, he tried to lure me…. Is trying to lure me, with the promise of an empty garden.~Well look who’s sm
Luna Sophia's Retribution Chapter 29: "I'm sorry for being so rude."
Sophia’s pov.“What does she mean by all that’s happening is bigger than me?”Caelum’s friend keeps his eyes on the road and doesn’t deem it fit to give me an answer. That only angers me, and in true Sophia fashion I turn away from him with only one thought in mind, I’ll find out for myself.Except I quickly realize I can't and that being dogheaded might lead to me wasting my time, so I decide not to.I still have to deal with the fallout of Ulric’s social media post, because I won't delude myself into thinking the whole mass of social media users are all pleased at seeing my photos on the internet.Even if the response was all good as Alora… and Caelum said, it’s all just a matter of time. I’m sure something will pop up.“If you won’t tell me what Alora means, can you at least tell me why Caleum’s face is blurred in every photo that was taken of us last night?”Caleum’s friend… no, Sebastien, his name is Sebastien. Sebastien turns to look at me this time and I evaluate the look he g
Luna Sophia's Retribution Chapter 30: "You're my mate."
Caelum’s pov."Does she know you are her husband's brother?"Sebastien asks me this question five times before I glower at him and he slinks off with a smile on his face. Of course, she knows I'm her husband's brother. She found that out days ago.What she doesn't know is my aim or vendetta against her husband, and for the next twenty-four hours, I monitor Sophia Highrise like a hawk as she slinks around my house and tries to figure out what she can.She's resourceful, I'll give her that.In barely twelve hours she's managed to befriend all the household help, from the adoring maids to the flirting donkey I have as a gardener. She wins them over in a way I can't fathom, so in twelve hours, Sophia has what she needs to gain knowledge about me, and it's barely been a day since she's been here.I let her.I let her befriend the help. I let her flash the gardener a smile. I suspect she knows they've seen the pictures so they have multiple opinions about her already, but she catches th
Luna Sophia's Retribution Chapter 31: "Excuse me?"
Sophia's pov.Caelum.... confuses me.I don't know what to think of him or his statements. I walk down the stairs to the main living room and I turn thoughts around in my head.What do I know so far?Nothing. Barely anything. I saw the opportunity to test Caelum's level of supervision in his house, and as I suspected, he saw everything and he heard everything. He sees everything and he hears everything. He saw me speaking to his help, he saw me speaking to the gardener. Everyone who I came into contact with yesterday has been shuffled out and some have been…No worries. At least now I know I need to be careful and watchful about everything. From my random words, to my acts of investigation, down to every last actionCaelum Maximoff sees everything, and he's wary of some things being revealed."You know you can ask me anything you want to know. You're my mate."Caelum's words ring in my ears one more time and I try to throw them away again, but I don't think I can. I felt someth
Luna Sophia's Retribution Chapter 32: "Is this how you behave with all your in-laws?"
Alora and I make our way to the breakfast table almost awkwardly and I can feel her shaking beside me. My ears twitch at every shudder that goes through her.Almost instinctively I reach for her hand, and I am glad when she takes it.Despite the relative calmness of the surroundings when I stepped in, I realise there’s actually a number of things going on.There’s a large tattooed man in the kitchen at the far end of the large room. That is where all the cooking takes place, I guess Caelum Maximoff likes to watch his food being prepared even if it’s from a distance, AND of course the large tatted man is bald too, he’s probably some celebrity chef.We get to the dining table, and though I can feel Alora’s hesitation, I still drag her with me. We could choose to sit at the far end of the table, away from all of them, but I'd like to know what’s going on here, and who the mystery person is.I take the seat after the free seat closest to Caelum.He sits at the head of the table, while th
