Chapter 126
SONIA’S POV
“You shouldn’t have done that!” I said, as I caught up with Ivy who had run out, after Alpha Ramon left.
“Why shouldn’t I have?” She asked, as she continued walking.
“I was the one that was supposed to be punished, not you. If you keep this up, you wouldn’t have any more friends in the pack. Do you want to be
Isolated?”
“So what do you want me to do!?” She came to an abrupt stop and turn.
“Do you think I enjoy going against the pack? Because I assure you, I don’t. But in the same breath, and I absolutely refuse to watch you get teamed up against. That girl started shit tonight. What kind of friend would I be if I didn’t stand up for you!”
“A sensible one, maybe! You once said I don’t practise self–preservation. Well what about you? Why can’t you choose yourself?”
Choosing myself means that I do whatever my mind tells me to do. What my mind has told me to do is to protect, and defend you.”
“But why?” I cried desperately, trying to see things from her perspective.
“Because you’d do the
same f
for me! Because I can! Because you deserve to be defended? I have three answers, you can pick the one that suits you
She turned, and continued walking I let out a sigh of frustration, and ran after her again.
“We’re going to be whipped. Are you not scared?” I asked, stepping into the spot she had just entered.
It turned out to be one of the channels of the stream.
She sat by its bank, and threw stones into the wate
I sat beside her, and waited in silence, until she was ready to speak.
“He’s not going to go through with it,” she said after a while.
“Maybe he could relent on you. Find a way to get you out of the equation. I don’t think it’s possible for me.
“Hey not going to go through with it,” she repeated, word for word. “I know you don’t believe me now, but it’s a promise.”
“And what if he does?” I asked, tears welling up in my eyes. “My skin is tired of getting hun. I don’t know if my wolf can handle more pain,”
I couldn’t hold back the tears anymore. I released my chest, and it poured out like heavy rain
She didn’t try to comfort me, and I appreciated her for that. I just needed to cry it out. I had held on to these tears for a little too long.
When my tears began to subside, she turned to me, and smiled.
“Feel better?”
“Much better.” I nodded.
You saved me from a fire, Sonia. You ran in, and saved my life. I could never repay that debt, no matter what I do.
“Don’t feel obligated to. You saved me from isolation. You’d be surprised how more wicked mental death is in comparison to physical death. That’s what you saved me from
She chuckled, “Look at us. A maid, and a captured princess. What could go wrong
“I don’t know, a lot!” I laughed, resting my head on her shoulders.
It was in that position I drifted into a dreamless sleep.

Chapter 126
When I opened my eyes the next morning. I was laying on a bed.
“Ivy?” 1 jerked up, looking around for her.
I was in my room, but she was nowhere to be found. I paused my breath on my bed, and opened my ears to listen for a sound, or even a heartbeat. I couldn’t hear any.
No one was around. My heart skipped a beat when my eyes went to the window.
Ti was morning already. The eve of the full moon.
A lot of things were going to happen in the span of the day. Including the whipping I wasn’t anticipating.
Grudgingly, I rolled out of bed. There was nothing I could do to change the course of the day.
However, my brother, Seth, did always have a saying
“It was good to look good even on one’s worst day.”
I never understood it until now. It was no wonder my other brothers considered him pretty. He should always tell me how they used it to tease him.

Whatever happened today, I was going to hold on to the memory of all of us, seated at a table, eating together.
It was that memory that carried me to the bathroom, as I began to shower.
When I returned to the room, I searched for a dress in the closet.
Ivy had helped me with a few things. Amongst these dresses was a cute red dress.
I wore it, and it was just below my thighs. Id usually wear long stockings with dresses like these, but I didn’t have the luxury of owning one. prisoner.
Finding a brush on my dressing table, I brushed my hair.
I would always pack my hair into a bun but decided to do something different with it.
I decided to do nothing, and let it fly. Standing in front of the mirror, 1 stared at my reflection.
“Whatever happens, happens.”
I wasn’t going to hide today. I had fully accepted my punishment.
The sound of the front door opening dragged my feet to the living room.
Lorena had stepped in, with two guards behind her.
“I’m here to get you,” she said.
“I know” I nodded.

“Aren’t you the least b
curious why the alpha sent me to you! It’s kind of poetic justice if you ask me.”
I didn’t respond, because whatever I said, she could very much use it against me.
“I’ll tell you anyway,” she shrugged. “He owed me one last night. I’m just collecting”
“I’m ready

The smile on her face vanished, and in replacement, was a sick frown.
“Oh darling, even if yo
you had an entire year, you wouldn’t still be ready for what’s about to happen to you.”

“To the packs centre. We have some really good entertainment for the wolfs of blood moon,” she ordered the guards, 2/3

I remained calm, despite the gravity of the situation.
My eyes went to the cursed land as we walked past it.
And as I blinked, I could swear I saw the conflicted woman, screaming out to me.
