Chapter 155
SONIA’S POV
His lips tasted like the aftermath of sweet victory, which made me stop moving mine abruptly.
“What is it?” He asked, concern filled in his voice
I sniffled into the air, a familiar scent overwhelming my nose. Two familiar scents actually.
“It’s funny, but I caught a scent,” I said,
“Really! What scent!”
“It’s nothing right? I mean I can‘
can’t even feel my wolf, how am I supposed to catch a scent?” I asked rhetorically
“You were able to heal Moon.
“That operates differently.” I paused, and cracked my brain for a few seconds. “I mean, I think.” “What was the scent you caught?” He asked again, as if he had not heard anything I just said.
Well since he wanted to know so badly, I decided to indulge him.
I placed a hand on his shoulders, and pushed my nose to his chest,
Slowly, I began to sniff my way around. I didn’t need to see his face to know he was looking at me like I had lost m
Maybe I had. But what if I hadn’t!
There wasn’t any point to this whole thing, therefore, there was nothing to lose.
“So familiar.” I whispered.
I moved to his collarbones, and even up to his Adam apple.
I was on my way to his face, when I felt a gentle shove
my mind.
“Hey, why does it feel like you’re only using this as an opportunity to sniff me? I don’t trust you,” he said in a suspicious tone.
I thought about it briefly, and he was justified to feel that way. Who just upped and started sniffing people!
“If I wanted to just sniff you, I’d ask,” I defended myself anyway.
“Right.” He nodded.
Anyway, I think I’ve gotten my answer.”
I turned to walk away once more, but he pulled me back for the umpteenth time.
“Who said you could leave?”
“I wasn’t leaving. I just want to sit,” I said,
In a blink, he carried me from ground up into his arms, then walked over to th
the couch.
He placed me on it, before plopping beside me.

My smile dinaned, as I pouted into silence.
“Hey, don’t even think you’ll get away with not telling me what the scent was
“Oh,” I turned so I was directly facing him. “They were at least three distinct, and five faint,” I said.
“Go on.” He urged with a nod of his head.
“Okay, I think the first two belong to my siblings. But that doesn’t make sense right? I know Gade and Jed did not come to the pack,” I yapped.
His face went from partially listening, to widened eyes,
“I did see your siblings, Cade, and Jed to be exact,”
My heart skipped a beat. There was no way he was being serious. Except he was just trying to fool around with me.
“You really saw Jed? How’s he? He’s older than me, but everyone always thought of him as the last child. We were never really close. Well except those few times he’d sneak me his drawings just for the sake of it.”
I teared up like I usually did every time I remembered my family.
I used to think we were not very close, but in retrospect, the boys did everything they could to
d to make me feel loved.
Sure they didn’t stick up for my father, and ensured I wasn’t restricted, but they made me feel safe in their unique ways.
Jed would always tease me every
very time we saw each other.
He said my skin was so pale, he’d go berserk if he saw me in the dark.
“Is he still so naughty?” 1 choked
“Why do you choose to think about things that make you so emotional? Heck, why are you so emotional” He asked in a clearly disgusted tone. There it was. The novelty had once more worn off.
I was
going to go into my shell, and wallow in self pity, until I
I remembered
my promise
Lifting my head, I smiled through the tears that had gathered heavily in my eyes.
“It’s normal to get emotional when you think about your siblings you’re never sure you’ll ever see again. Don’t you yours is worse because their absence is a little more permanent,” I explained.
you miss your parents? I’m sure
He looked to be in deep thought for a moment there. I was glad because it was either that, or have him rebuke me for daring to bring his parents into this conversation,
“I guess you’re right. It’s just weird to always be so emotional.” He shrugged.
When you miss someone terribly, what do you do? How do you express yourself!”
I move on like normal prople do? We can’t always stop to bask in the misery of missing someone. Life has to go on
“Oh Ramon,” I brought my fingers to his face, stroking it gently. “I’m so sorry for the barren childhood you had. If you had lots of siblings, perhaps you’d have more empathy.”
He pushed my hands away,
but I did
didn’t take offense
No one sand getting through to him would be a walk in the park.
We have made significant progress in such a short time. That was all that mattered.
“I grew up around other kids. Liam was my best friend. We practically grew up together.”
“Was!” I lifted a curious brow.
“Stop that,” he cautioned.
“Stop what?” I asked innocently. 2/3

He rose to his feet, and walked towards the door, but stopped just before he could step out.
I held my breath, waiting for him to return to me.
When he turned around, I was about to leap for joy when I heard a voice behind me.
“Alpha Ramon!” Moon called, coming out of the room.
