The Brutal Alpha's Tender Daughter novel Chapter 84

"I hope you can forgive me Sophia, but this way I can finally be with her again."

Faith's words struck me. Her. Her mate must had been a she-wolf. Father did not allow any same sex couples in the Mercy pack.

My mind was suddenly drawn to the memory when I had heard screaming in the middle of the night. I remembered how I had thought someone was in danger and I had hurried downstairs only to discover the screams coming from my father's office. Silas had rescued me, had told me that father had been punishing them because they were mates.

What had father done?

Nathan

My wolf was pacing in my mind. The fact that we had to stay away from our mate for a few hours did not sit well with him too.

I had become addicted to her and I did not mind at all. Since Sophia my whole life had turned upside down, but in the best way possible. The feeling that something had been missing in my life had vanished and had been replaced by Sophia.

Sweet, beautiful Sophia. And she was mine. Forever.

I still could not believe that the moon goddess had chosen her for being my match, because more often than not I caught myself thinking that Sophia was too good for me.

She was gentle, always considerate and pure.

Sophia was everything I was not. But then again, maybe that was the exact reason why she was my mate. Sophie completed me.

My wolf whined in my mind, missing Sophia and my hands formed to fists when I too felt the urge to run to her.

The only thing that kept me sane was the bond I could clearly feel with Sophia so I knew she was okay and close by.

I took a deep breath letting the knowledge of her safety rushing over me and tried to concentrate on the conversation again.

Silas was currently explaining to Levin, Oliver, dad and his Beta how he wanted to attack the Mercy pack. I really admired his determination wanting to free his pack from the cruel leadership of his parents and I was more than ready to participate in the war he wanted to initiate. Just thinking about how the Alpha and Luna of the Mercy pack had treated Sophia or more punished her for every little thing she had done made me see red and brought me close to shifting.

I wanted their blood, but I knew that Silas had to kill his father in order for him to become the next Alpha. Another stupid custom, but I was aware that Silas would kill his father whether there was a tradition or not. He too wanted to revenge not only for Sophia, but also for his pack members and himself. I admired this about him.

"You were really busy this last week.", I acknowledged when I heard how many packs Silas had visited over the last week and had convinced to join him in the upcoming war.

Silas nodded his head, but his mind seemed elsewhere.

The others had gathered around us and looked worriedly at me, except Silas who looked expactantly at the door.

Milena then entered and I saw Silas' rigid posture slightly relax.

"Where's Sophia?", Silas and I demanded to know.

"At the orphanage, but she'll arrive any minute now.", Milena responded looking confused at our stern tone.

Not being able to contol my wolf any longer I let him take over and shifted right then and there. He quickly ran outside my father's office and followed the enticing scent of my mate to the orphanage.

However, nobody was there and my wolf started to whine. Where was Sophia? Her scent was still fresh and I could not smell her leaving the house.

"Do you smell that?", Oliver's voice reached my wolf's ears, but I was too busy searching the whole house for my mate. She had to be somewhere.

The pain in my heart had ceased, but there was a hollowness I could not explain or rather chose not to.
