Chapter 108: Chapter 108

" It's impossible... There must be another explanation. Sophia can't be one of them... It's inconceivable."

Chad had just kicked a chair, smashing it in the process. He was angry, not beside himself, it couldn't be. Sophia couldn't be a lycanthrope, those horrible, evil creatures. She couldn't be, but everything pointed to it. She summoned a wolf in front of them, but even so, he still couldn't believe it. There had to be another explanation.

No one indeed knows the identity of her father, Mrs. Anne came to their town according to her father with a baby in hand. She was dejected and desperate and when he asked her where the child's father was, she said he had died without further explanation.

In this sense, the explanation of the Alpha of Soul Moon is plausible, but then how did he know? The way she looked at him, Sophia also seemed surprised by his answers. No, there is something wrong. Sophia must have used a subterfuge, she has always been very mischievous, using all sorts of tricks to get what she wants. So that would mean she knew about everything from the start? No, she is vicious but not to this extent. It must be another shot of those lycanthropes.

" Calm down Chad... It's useless for you to get carried away like this."

" But, Spencer... You even certified it this morning, it's impossible, Sophia isn't a lycanthrope. Unless our artifacts are buggy."

The leader of the hunters and the others gathered didn't understand either. During the entire encounter with the creatures, at no time did their sensors react to Sophia. It was incomprehensible yet, no matter how hard a creature tries to hide its presence, this artifact will still manage to identify it. It is not possible.

The men looked at each other before Chad's father spoke.

" The explanation of the leader of the Alliance seems to me too perfect to believe it."

" What do you mean Dad?"

" It looked like he was openly trying to protect Anne. I don't know... It gave me that impression. When she arrived in our city, she was hurt, Sophia in her arms was crying and Anne's face was blank. She seemed so devastated, when I wanted to ask her questions she just looked away. It was only a few days after her arrival that the archbishop of our city came to see her. The fact that a young woman of her age arrived in our town with a baby in hand must have shocked us. At home the mores did not allow it at that time, a woman had to be married to have a child, if he found that Anne was not of good character, he would have asked her to leave our community. But Anne replied that her husband recently died, showing us her wedding ring. She seemed so shocked when she said it that we concluded that it was a tragic and sudden death and decided not to ask her any more questions."

It was a story that deserved more thought, what Chad's father wanted to imply was that Anne, Sophia's mother must have been aware of the nature of her companion, it is even certain that she knew before giving herself to him and she agreed to bear his child.

But mere humans don't know anything about the mystical world, it must have just been one more intrigue in the life of a dreamy teenager and she took it lightly. They must have cooled their love, her running away from her family to live a life of fugitives with her lover because he is certain with the explanations of the leader of the Alliance that the pack of Sophia's father must have known about it. It started tracking them and the man managed to protect his family, could it be that the leader of the Alliance was on the expedition? No, according to their sources, he is not that old, he would have barely been old enough to understand so he must have been informed later. Could it even be that Sophia's dad was from the Soul Moon pack? This is probably the explanation for their welcome despite her human ancestry.

If we can recognize one thing in them, it is that lycanthropes are very filial, they recognize their blood and cherish them like animals with the young of the group. Aren't they humanized animals? Nothing surprising.

" But then when these creatures killed Madam Anne, it was out of revenge. They didn't have to accept that a human continued to raise one of their young…"

"I do not know the rules of these creatures. .."

Chad knew deep in his mind that Sophia was in danger and nothing and no one could talk him out of it. This man by her side, her alpha, knows he's more her lover. If he introduced and claimed her as his Luna then they already did it... He gritted his teeth, he should have been Sophia's first and she should have been his, that was a promise. But either it's not the time, if everything that is being said is correct, not only does this man know a lot about Sophia's past but he can also be linked to Madame Anne's death. If the goal was for Sophia and her mother to hide, then the latter did not want her daughter to grow up among her peers. But her mother's death and then her abrupt and sudden departure from town right after her burial only meant one thing, the pack found her and asked her to come back. If this man was already the Alpha of the pack, then it is obvious that he is the one who ordered the murder of Madame Anne. It's exactly that.

It seems that alphas are often ready to do anything to have their soul mate by their side. It would therefore not be surprising that the man wanted to get rid of the mother of his Luna who was undoubtedly opposed to him to recover her.

He must inform Sophia as soon as possible.

" Chad, stop fiddling with this story. We have two more serious things on the table."

Chad frowned, nothing is more important to him than Sophia but either he will listen to them.

" First, these monsters attacked humans. I'm sure the Alliance is hiding something from us. And second, we need to know why our artifacts don't recognize Sophia. Even if she's half-human, that shouldn't count here."

"Let's go see the high priestess. Only she can tell us more."
