Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Tom looked at me worriedly as Jessy motioned for me to pull myself together for fear of revealing my blanket. Frankly, it was no use telling myself, shouting at me to take myself back, but following what I heard it is difficult for me to take myself back so easily.

I don't know how to take it now, Elsa is an impending member of Soul Moon, the pack that caused all my misfortunes and those of many people closely or remotely connected to me.

If this pack hadn't existed, then I would certainly be happy with my parents, I would probably have known my father the way I talked about my mother, he must have been wonderful. I will certainly have gone to this hostess school and have plans for the future. But because of them, I only live the present without seeing my future clearly. What I would do and how I would do it all seems hazy to me. I even wonder if I even still have a future... Ah yes I have one now, very clear and precise.

Find a way to avenge myself on the Soul Moon Alpha and destroy this cursed pack in order to avenge my parents and all their victims and perhaps free the city of Capital City from its yoke.

I don't know how to do it yet, but now that I'm a full-fledged lycan, I'm going to make sure to get closer to this alpha and get revenge for the sake of my parents.

I sighed before giving Tom a bright smile and speaking.

" No I'm fine it's just the fatigue that takes me."

" Ah well ... Rest then and you Jessy let's go."

Jessy nodded before looking at me one last time and giving me a sign that of course I understood. I have to be more careful for my own survival.

He walked out closing the door behind him as I wondered how I should react now. Tom certainly welcomed me with open arms but if he is under the orders of this cursed pack, then I can't completely trust him, let's not talk about Elsa anymore. What to do now ? But more, I have to find a way to talk to Jessy about the sequel, I know I can totally trust him.

I went to bed dizzy from overthinking and closed my eyes falling into a deep sleep.

I was sitting on the edge of a river while the surface of the water sparkling like thousands of stars thanks to the moon, whose reflection was of enchanting and fairy-like beauty, calmed my restless mind. I felt a sudden peace wash over me as soft footsteps on the fresh grass advanced towards me. A magnificent wolf with dark coat like ink stood before me. His silky and shiny hairs seeming to shine in the moon gave the impression to call for a caress so I raised my hand my thin fingers passing in these hairs in a soft way.

The wolf let out a delighted sigh before bending down and resting his head on my lap as I continued to pat his head. We were at peace and in harmony as he gazed at me tenderly with his golden eyes. I blushed putting my lips to the top of his head and he closed his eyes appreciating my gesture. I continued to stroke his hair on his head and along his body before I felt him sit up and change into a human. He was very tall, he must have been around 1'90 and his body was the most beautiful I had ever met. Powerful, gleaming muscles, broad shoulders, biceps to die for, abs both bulging and well defined, a firm torso in all, a body as perfect as a Greek god. I gulped feeling him bow to me but his face remained dark. He had golden eyes that's the only thing I could see and hair as black as inkjet.

" I love you Sophia..."

He spoke and placed his lips on me before I jerked awake putting my fingers directly to my lips. I felt my heart pounding as I struggled to catch my breath.

What was this dream? Was it even a dream? It felt so real and so captivating, I felt all the things I dreamed of as intensely as if it were happening in real life. The feel of his hair on the palm of my hand, his lips on mine, his smell, his warm breath against my face and finally, his deep but soft voice saying those beautiful words to me.

I lay back down, spreading my arms as I stared at the ceiling and looked away.

For sure he is my alpha, my inner wolf was right, once I felt his presence, all my senses lead me to him. Every time I think of him, I feel overwhelmed by a flood of very sweet and intoxicating feelings. My heart starts beating like it's going to break down and this warmth deep in my chest, like two years ago, like when I met him.

My love of the beach.

I remember all the sensations he made me suffer and they are the same... As if I was in love.

This is absolutely not normal or possible since I don't know the person who is supposed to be my soul mate, yet my heart jumps every time I think of him.

I swallowed. It's true that Jessy is super handsome and sexy, but what I feel for this stranger is far too striking to be compared to my physical attraction to Jessy.

I'm going crazy but I think I'm in love with an illusion.

I sighed at my stupid thoughts and heard the door open as my blood ran cold.

Elsa had just entered. I had almost forgotten about this woman, and her membership in Soul Moon.

I straightened up before giving her a cold look. She kept her smile before putting clothes and accessories in front of me

" Sorry?"

"You are going to accompany me this evening to a gala dinner organized by the Travis intertainment. You need to familiarize yourself with the affairs of this town because there is no way that you participate in the activities of Tom and this pathetic omega."

I gritted my teeth as I glared at Elsa

" Jessy is not a loser."

Elsa smiled coming to caress my cheek as she put quite a lot of pressure on it in her fingers.

" You seem much too close to him it seems to me. But I repeat... He's a loser so you're going to do me the favor of not being close to him."

"And why should I obey you?"

Elsa let go of me before sighing.

" Nothing obliges you my princess but I do it for your good... You should be wary of him."

More like I should be wary of you and everyone in your pack. I looked away as I frowned crossing my arms. Elsa frowned deciding to act immediately. It's not good, she's sure that brat has already poisoned their future Luna's mind with bullshit she can't explain. She must get her away from this poison before Sophia ends up as much as her poor sister because of his felon's mother.

She sat down next to Sophia and put her hand on her shoulders noticing the girl's disgusted look on her hand. It was now safe, Jessy poured her cursed poison into the girl's mind, for what purpose she could not express it.

What should be done? Should she just eliminate him? She thinks of Tom who had made a special request to her but if this continues, she will not be able to keep her promise to let him live.

Especially if he threatens his nephew's happiness.

" Sophia... My princess, I only wish you well, you can trust me. You'll find out soon but please don't let that boy poison your mind. He's not who he says he is, he's dangerous to you."

I clenched my jaw as I stood up and stared hard at Elsa.

" A dangerous omega? Let me laugh."

" Even insects can bite... Remember."

Elsa headed for the exit before giving me one last look.

" Rest well, I'll be back later to help you change. The gala will take place at 8 p.m."

She walked out as I sat down pissed off. What right does she have to ask me to doubt the only person who really helped me in this town? Unlike her, who is from the pack that made me suffer the most? What nonsense.

Outside, Elsa picked up her phone dialing her nephew's number.

# hello Elsa?

"Greg I'm sorry but we have to change our plans and the princess should be by your side as soon as possible."

# I guess if you're calling me with such urgency in your voice it's something serious. Alright, I'll make sure to get everything ready."

Elsa hung up before going downstairs to join Tom. She had to tell him that Sophia was going to leave his tavern and now live with her.
