CHAPTER 81. A MAFIA?RYDER“What the crap, man? What's gotten into you?!” Darius spat, shoveling to his feet.“Don't you even think of playing dumb with me. The jig is up. I just spoke with Jason, you damned bastard!““I don't know what you're talking about, dude. What did that miserable rogue say to you to get you all worked up?!””You're the miserable one!” I barked, railing free from the guys and delivering another punch to Darius. They held me back immediately, pinning my hands to the back, “Fucking let me go!”“Ryder, get a hold of yourself. What's come over you?” Fred cautioned, pulling me back, it wasn't easy to keep me caged. They were using up all their energy on it.”What is this?“ Giveon asked confusedly, glancing from me to Darius, “Dude, what's Ryder talking about?” Giveon asked him, but he still wouldn't admit it.”I got no clue, I think Ryder just lost his mind,““The hell I did! You had Hara kidnapped, and then you went ahead to inject rogue blood into Jason. And until
Chapter One: A ChildSophia.“I swear, this insignificant thing will betray you. Why aren’t you listening to me, Elena?” I ask, pointing at the child she is holding. “I don’t trust him. I have a hunch he’s going to turn on you.”“No, he won’t,” Elena responds emphatically. She strokes the child’s face softly. “I trust him, and I know he won’t do me any harm.”“What the hell, Elena?” I say incredulously. “Don't tell me you trust him over me. You put your trust in a stranger over your friend?”“Sophia, pay attention to what I’m saying,” Elena yells. “I’m not sure what’s wrong with you.”“Elena, please listen to me.”“How do you come to dislike this little guy? Why, for the love of the goddess, do you despise him? It’s been weeks since we met him, and you still despise this helpless child?”I look her in the eye, desperate for her to believe me. “Trust me,” I reply emphatically. “Not only will he betray you, but the entire Shadow Pack. He is not one of us, and he will never be. We should
Primordial wolf.Sophia.“Hey, wake up!” Rita yells. “Wake up, lazy ass! You’re the only one who is still sleeping. Sophia." I open my eyes to the sound of my name, only to be greeted by Rita’s reprimand to wake up. “What?” I ask with a yawn as I grab the blanket from her. “Can I have my beauty sleep, please?” Rita rolls her eyes and yells at me to get up. “No, you can’t,” she says firmly. “It’s time to start your day. Don’t waste it sleeping.” I’m furious at her. Why is she waking me so early? I reminded her that it’s Saturday and there are no obligations for me today. So I should be able to sleep in as much as I want. I am having a dream full of wonderful things, and then that awful girl wakes me up as I am about to see his face. I am still trying to find my sleep when someone comes in with full force. “What the hell is going on, Rita?” I get to my feet, hoping to drag her out, but I meet with something else. My mother’s angry, burning face. Shit. She stares at me, her eyes bla
Fight.Sophia.“When does he stare at you?” she asks angrily. “Why will he stare at you?”“I don’t know. I think you should ask your mate why he is staring at me,” I smirk. “I’m sure he is attracted to me because of my beauty.”“Are you saying you’re prettier than I am? When Lucas tells me you hate him, I don't believe it. But now, I can tell he’s not lying.”“He’s a liar, sister. Can't you see?"“Why must you despise my mate, or perhaps you don’t despise him at all, sister? You’re just after him, aren’t you? You need his attention, right? Admit it, you have a crush on him!” she says, her voice rising. “He’s mine, and I won’t let you have him!”Wow. She looks different. She’s staring at me as if I’m her prey. Is this my real sister? She’s defending this son of a bitch. It’s hard to believe. I’m witnessing something I’ve never seen from her before. I can’t believe she’s taking his side over mine.“I can barely contain my smirk when you say that sis. Do you think I’m interested in him? D
Furious. Sophia. Furious, my father’s face contorts with anger. His eyes are flashing, his fists clenching, and his breath heaving as he tries to keep his temper in check. He hates me, yet still loves me deeply. He hates me because I always question him. I can feel the tension in the air as he stares at me, silently conveying his disapproval of my actions. His wolf despises me too, though they won’t do anything to harm me, as I’m his most beloved daughter. I love the look on his face. He takes his seat and eats quietly. After eating, he gets up. I can still sense his rage. “Are you leaving now Father?” I tease him. I love infuriating him. It’s fun. He turns to me and glares. “Are you trying to drive me to my grave, Sophia?” He screams at me. “Do you really want to kill your own father? Can’t you just let me be?” I can’t help but giggle. “What are you talking about, Dad?” I ask. “I’m not trying to kill you, and I’m sorry if my behavior makes you think so. Forgive me.” When it co
His vengeful queen. Sophia. “Wait a minute, Elena,” I say, pursuing her after the alpha leaves. She comes to a halt and turns her back with a questioning look, saying, “Hello, Sophia, it’s you. I have no idea you are running after us,” she sneers. “Is there something you need?” Is she always like this? What causes her personality to change? How can she transform into someone else, or did I not recognize her? I take a step back and watch her, trying to figure out what is going on. It is as if she is a wholly different person, and I can't understand why. She seems to be hiding something. “What is wrong with you, Elena?” I ask. “Is there anything I did to irritate you?” “I’m not sure what you’re trying to imply here,” she says innocently. “Did I hit you or something? What are you insinuating, Sophia?” “No! No! It’s not like that. I’m only worried about the sudden change. Is everything alright?” I ask, staring at how tightly she grips him. Suddenly, Mark runs behind Elena. El
Sophia.I warn her, “If you don’t let me go now, I’ll do something you’ll never expect,” I threaten. But she drags my hair painfully instead of letting me go.Sneering, she replies, “Do you really think you can beat me the same way you beat and kill Matt? I’m a lot stronger than you think.”Without another word, I turn around and kick her hard in the shins. That plastic-looking face. She lets go of my hair and stumbles back in pain, screaming, and with blood pouring from her nose. I stand there motionless as my heart races. I stand there, motionless, my heart pounding. She looks up at me with a look of shock and pain on her face.“You bitch!” She screams. “What have you done? How dare you hurt my beautiful face?” I attack her again before she can defend herself. I begin to hit and kick her in the stomach. First, it was my sister in the morning, then Elena, and now this slut. Are they trying to kill me? I won’t hold back again. Not again! She will suffer for all of them this time. Grabb
Rules. Sophia. “I see what you’re saying. Go meet the alpha,” she whispers. Her disappointment is evident. “I’ll save the food for you.” Everyone can tell she’s disappointed. “Do you have to leave us, Father?” I ask. “Do you really need to turn your back on your meal just to attend to the alpha?” Aside from my mother’s unwillingness, I have a terrible feeling about this. He sighs. “You don’t understand how this stuff works, Sophia. It’s my duty. I have to protect our pack, and the Alpha needs me now for an emergency meeting. I’m sorry, Bella. I will make it up to you. I have to go now.” “Don’t be late,” my mother utters as she packs his food. Father turns and leaves. We all know that my mother despises cooking and her mate refuses to eat. But it isn’t his fault. It is that stupid Alpha who didn’t know the right time to call him. Why must he call him when he is about to eat his mate’s food? I blame him. Throughout the time we are eating, Mother is quiet and sad. I can see the hu
