Chapter 128: Chapter 128

I'm behind Jessy walking while wondering how far we'll go. I don't know what's down that hallway, but I hope Chad is there and safe.

" Are we still going to walk for a long time like this?"

I end up asking annoyed as Jessy turns from side to side to look at me.

" Not really... We soon arrived."

And so having said that, we finally came to a small room at the end of the long hallway where we were walking down before seeing several people standing around one.

" Here we are."

" Sophie…"

I gasped when I saw my grandfather sitting with other men and frowned right after.

" It's you…"

I speak coldly, not at all inclined to be courteous with this man whom I now consider the worst scum in existence. With what he has done, I cannot believe that he has such barbaric and cruel objectives as they hinted at a short time ago. It's aberrant and I have to do something to stop them.

"Oh…"

My grandfather sighed before extending his hand to me, silently ordering me to sit down.

What I did. I wanted to know what was going on.

Greg and Chad were walking first following Sophia's scent, he stopped abruptly causing Chad's face to hit his back.

"Hey be careful."

Greg motioned for the boy to be quiet and concentrated to sense several presences down the hall, one of which was extremely powerful... an Alpha no doubt.

" Here it gets complicated."

He turned to Chad before wrapping him in his pheromones and then turning them off, thus masking their presence from both of them. He is confident in his abilities and the scarcity of his pheromones, which is why he managed to blend in with humans without ever being bothered by creatures or hunters. Erasing his presence both human and lycanthrope, he is the only one who can do it...

"Now kid you will do everything I ask you."

" I…"

Wanted to kick Chad but Greg immediately took it back.

" Sophia's safety is at stake."

Once Chad heard that, he immediately lined up causing Greg to sigh in annoyance.

" Alright, let's go."

The two walked Greg deciding to go hide in the air ducts above the room where Sophia is to assess the situation. So they were above looking down at the room before Greg gasped in surprise.

Sophia sat across from a man everyone wanted dead in their family, the man who ordered her mother's death, the man responsible for the misfortunes in his life, the Alpha of Shield of Rain.

What is Sophia doing in front of this man?

" Well, you wanted to see me. I'm here."

" You are so cold, I understand you but don't forget that I am your grandfather and…"

Greg couldn't believe his ears, his Sophia is this man's granddaughter? No, it can't be true, he was mulling over this information when Sophia's cold and contemptuous voice brought him back to reality.

" When it suits you."

The man across from Sophia, André the Alpha of Shield of Rain, was silent for a moment before speaking again.

" I know that the conversation the other day must have surprised you but know that I am also doing it for your mother. I want to avenge her death, she was my only child you know."

" You forced her into your plans which resulted in her and my father being murdered. You are solely responsible for their death."

" It's wrong... I loved my Samantha... I only wanted what was good for her and being the Luna of Soul Moon was the best for her."

" But it was not what she wanted. She was in love with my father and as a father, you should have understood and protected her. Even when she ran away with my father, you let her be hunted down. It isn't for her that you did it but for your selfish interests. It shows with the wave of misfortune you've brought down upon the city... Your methods are horrific and…"

" Sophia's sacrifices are often necessary to achieve a goal. I heard that you have become the Luna of Soul Moon."

I frowned.

" Your lackey has already warned me, giving me instructions to follow at the cost of the lives of my friends."

" I know that the way must have seemed excessive to you but understand us my darling. You are our last hope for justice... And it's a great way to avenge your parents because even if he's your alpha today, he's still your parents' killer. Do not forget it."

Greg and Chad who listened to everything were silent, on Greg's side he assimilated everything there was to understand, he already knew that Sophia's mother was a Shield of Rain but not that she was that "woman". Now that he has learned the truth, he understands Sophia's torment but above all what happened. She was only an innocent victim of her father's plans and his obsession, Sophia is another collateral victim as much as him.

On Chad's side, he looked at Greg with a lot of anger, he was the backer of the murder of Sophia's parents. And she knows it? Why does she stay with him?

" Calm down kid... There is a misunderstanding."

" Oh yes?"

" Shut up and continue to listen."

Chad gritted his teeth before watching Sophia continue talking with this man.
