Chapter 88: Chapter 88

We shared a long, desperate kiss. I felt like I was kissing my alpha and it made me so inclined that I started unbuttoning Greg's shirt. I wanted him, I wanted to feel him, I'm so lost, losing him would be a tragedy for me.

With shaking hands, I feverishly unbuttoned Greg's shirt as he pulled off his jacket, I felt it fall to the floor as his already open shirt was dropped to shoulder level. I released his lips and down to his chest as I stroked his body, my fingers crawling over his skin. I heard a long sigh before I found myself on the couch Greg hovering above me.

Greg couldn't control himself anymore, it seemed that Sophia was suffering from a mute pain that she couldn't confide in him for reasons that he would so much want to know. This inability to be of any use to his mate tore him apart and he didn't know what to do to comfort her. His heart twisted in pain, losing control of his pheromones as they enveloped Sophia in an attempt to soothe her.

I was immersed in my torment when I recognized the pheromones of my alpha, it was like every time I found myself in a difficult situation when I needed his comfort, this smell, this feeling of appeasement, only he could bring it to me.

" So you forgive me?"

" Yes... I don't blame you... But this is neither the place nor the moment to unite us... Rest, you don't seem to have slept well."

" No... Not at all... I was afraid of losing you."

Greg smiled before kissing Sophia's forehead.

" You will never lose me...I will always stay by your side no matter who I have to fight."

I smiled as I felt my alpha's pheromones rock me, I reached out and stroked his cheek before closing my eyes and falling asleep.

I don't care what I have to face in the future, as long as I have this promise that he will always be on my side, and even if that could change, I'm just reassured that he still loves me and always wants me.

Greg sat next to Sophia who had fallen asleep stroking her hair as his face was tight. He wanted to help her so badly but if he didn't know anything he was useless and that's what was killing him little by little.

He is the richest man in the world, he is powerful both in the world of humans and that of creatures, could offer Sophia what she wants, she will only have to want it and he will grant the least of her whims.

But then he felt so helpless, he held out both hands in front of his desperate eyes.

" Can't I protect the woman I love to the point where she suffers so much? Am I as bad as my father? Can't I allow my Luna a happy life? What's the point of being who I am if the person who matters most to me ends up in this fragile state?"

He clenched his fists, no he will find a way to protect Sophia, no matter what he has to go through, or who he has to go through, he will protect Sophia and give her the quiet and happy life she deserves.

He got up to pick up his clothes before putting them on. He will discover what Sophia is hiding from him, once he knows it, he will certainly be able to understand her better.

He got up reassured that Sophia will have a good rest and left his office making a call to Elias.

" SO?"

# Master things are getting tough...

" I see... I'm going to join you."

He turned to look at his office door, why is all this only happening now? Why does everything seem to be going downhill? Either way, he doesn't know exactly what's going on in this town, but one thing is certain, the woman lying in his office will be his priority.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I felt soothed, rested, and in great shape. I looked around the empty office and frowned.

"What happened? I just remember feeling so bad that I wished so hard to be near my alpha and then it was black."

I put my hand to my forehead, where's Greg? Why do my memories seem so tangled? I shook my head before looking sideways as if there was a presence and jumped seeing a white wolf that seemed to be staring at me.

" What... what? Who are you?"

The wolf looked at me as if I had just said a huge bullshit and I got up in a panic looking in all directions if someone would not find this wolf there. What if Greg walked in and found him? And who is it exactly?

"What are you doing here? And who are you?"

I did not recognize the particular presence of those with whom I had to deal lately, it was not a wolf of my entourage, but I felt that I knew it very well.

I frowned, gazing into his gaze. I was amazed to have the sensation of looking at myself through a mirror.

" but…"

**Did you finally realize that?**

Oh, that sarcastic voice! My inner wolf? Wait, an inner wolf stays inside, right? What the fuck is it to be beside myself?

** Indeed, an inner wolf is the essence of a lycan, we unite with your soul and allow you to change into a lycanthrope. Except that you can no longer unite with me, since your coming-of-age ceremony...it is physically and essentially impossible for you.**

I frowned.

"But why is that? We will have to be one so that I can use all my faculties and…"

** You are an alfe do I need to remind you? Your father was a black alfe, in addition to first grade, half an alfe can't turn into a lycanthrope...**

I sat lost as I didn't understand what my wolf meant.

" But if I can't transform anymore like last time... how can I be called a lycanthrope?"

** The fact that you can no longer change into a wolf does not mean that you are no longer a lycan. Your particularity will be that you will be able to use your powers of lycans at the same time as your powers of alfe. Your two natures will be able to fight each side by side.**

It was way too complicated for me to understand and I heard my wolf sigh.

**Let's just say that you can summon me to fight against our enemies while you can take care of another enemy if necessary.**

I looked up in understanding as I thought of the other lycans.

" It will not attract their suspicion?"

** Your death is not in my interest...so I'm just going to help you fake your lycan side when it comes time to show our fellows your lycanthropic nature even though I advise you to seek information on the alves.**

" The alves? They were so persecuted that I don't even know if my father wasn't the last of the species."

** What complete nonsense... They live of course but in small groups or solitary so as not to draw attention to themselves. They are among humans blending in with the mass like any creature. It's up to you to find them**

" But how do I do that?"

I glared at my wolf angrily as he seemed to glare at me.

** Your essence of alfe, I assimilated it, I can recognize an alfe if I come across one now. **

" You could have told me instead of taking me for an idiot... In short, it's time I should go to this damn meeting with Jessy."

**Beware of this guy**

" I know"

** I see that you have gained wisdom... Alright let's go **

I grimaced at the insult before nodding my head not wanting to argue with that damn wolf. He disappeared, coming back to piss me off in my mind with his sarcastic remarks, then looking at Greg's office I sighed. I don't even know where he went but hey I'll come back later, well I think I'm pretending to take a break.

I reported my absence to the reception and I passed by the back to avoid my driver. What I did not know was that he was standing on the roof of the building observing my movements.

" Hello master, Miss Sophia has just left. Well, I'll follow her...sorry?"

# I said I'm going on my own.

" At your command."
