I had signed off on everything needed for the upcoming wedding when I got word about the challenge laid out to Kyan by Roman after he was dethroned. Lily left him, and I laughed until I couldn't anymore; I knew his time was running out, and we were taking out his allies even as we spoke. The Elite team was hired, and they were very good at taking out the ones who thought their security was top-notch. Rowe and I were heading to Dartmouth Kingdom for the challenge in two days; most of Aidan's allies would be there for the historic event between Father and Son. I always knew it would be Kyan to dethrone his father eventually, because Roman was never fit to be King, and Kyan was raised to be a better man than him, thanks to his mother, Lily. The intermixing law was finally changed, and Rowe was able to come clean about his wife and mate, Davina.

The Elders blessed their union, and the Kingdom was overjoyed for them, welcoming Davina. The people loved her as much as she loved him, and I was happy for my son and daughter-in-law; her past was never a problem for anyone, because bears don't care about that s**t. Bears care about loyalty, and your word is your bond; we treat everyone the same unless you disrespect us, and then all bets are off. We will finish you if it comes to that, or you finish us; however, for women of higher standards who were used to forming partnerships and bargaining chips, purity was everything for them. That's why, when Polly was assaulted all those years ago, she wouldn't go through with mating with Levi. She was embarrassed and hurt because she wouldn't be 'pure' for her husband, and because of how hurt she was, I changed that law.

The Elders didn't fight me about it because they all loved Polly and felt her pain; some women still feel that way about the former law. It's their choice about who they sleep with, but purity is bullshit to me, because if we men can f**k around and still land a good wife, why can't women? We have to have s*x with someone unless we prefer the same s*x; our younger generations loved that the law changed, it gave options without judgment, and was better for it. Some people have kids outside of marriage/mating, but we are all adults and make our own choices about life. Sapphire was spending the weekend with her grandparents, and I was grateful for her help with her. Lark decided to go with me to Dartmouth, and so did Polly, to see that the rapist had lost everything; I went home, and she had packed a suitcase for both of us, and I was looking at her in very short shorts on her round ass and said, "You are not getting on the plane like that."

She looked at me, saying, "I know, silly," and walked up to kiss me; I was so in love with Lark and thought about Clarke. At the moment, he was away visiting Barbie's family, a family she first said she never had, which raised a red flag, and Nolix was on it, getting more information. Clarke's drugs were swapped out, and he was on fake drugs; I knew it was her, but I wanted to catch her red-handed, so I had proof when I executed her. I secretly tried to have cameras in their house, but unfortunately, I couldn't because that was against the law; we have our own ways of getting the information I needed after I dealt with my issues first. Lark and I met Rowe with Davina, along with Polly, on the airstrip, entering the private jet; we decided not to drive there so we could get there quickly.

We arrived at our hotel and decided to have a late lunch in one of Aidan's restaurants; I felt Levi before turning to see him kissing Polly. Levi had just arrived along with Emile, Jared stood back to run the Kingdom in their absence, and my father was running the Kingdom in our absence since Clarke was off territory. Aidan walked over with Ty, who had a big smile on his face as we watched him looking at Dominic, who had joined us as well. I looked at the big Dragon King, whom no one had seen in a long time. Aidan said, "Are you joining us for lunch?" We all had a few laughs about Roman and how it wouldn't end well for him, Aidan even filled us in on the rumor about his trio; he was keeping Lily and Michelle as his mates. It seems like the moon goddess wanted to right the wrongs that happened to them and many species, and true mates have been popping up lately. I looked at Lark, not worried about finding a second-chance mate, when I felt a slight burn again in my chest, but nothing to alarm me.

Sophie

I was bent over the edge of the bed as Seth was pounding his c**k inside me, and I hated it, but he wanted me to smell like him when I went home to see my family at the challenge. He forbade me to say anything about how I was treated if I wanted to see my kids again, his touches repulsed me, but there was no foreplay between us. We both hated having s*x with each other now, and I was glad; I knew something was up when he summoned me to his bedroom because I was not allowed in there unless I came to clean it. I smelled Amy all over the room; she was away on a shopping trip with her friends, and he got a call from my father to show up as support. I had hoped that my brother would win the challenge and become King; Spence had planned for us to run today when he left until he wanted me to go with him.

So we would leave as soon as I get back, unless Kyan wins and things get better; I don't think Seth thought it through about whether Kyan wins or he would be panicking. Then it dawned on me that my father would kill Kyan just to get his crown back; I felt a slap on my ass as he sped up his thrust, pushing me lower to the bed and giving him more arch. I held in my moans as he said, "Do you like that, Sophie?" Thrusting harder and deeper, he held my hips tightly; I grabbed the sheets, closing my eyes because I refused to give him the satisfaction of a moan despite how my p***y milked his c**k with each thrust. I wanted him to c*m and get him from behind me; I only love when my man touches me, I couldn't wait to be out of this hellhole. The thumping of the bed, his loud grunts and slapping of our skin colliding, and then two more hard thrusts, feeling his release as he cummed deep inside me.

He pulled away and said, "Go, get dressed and be down in twenty minutes; I had an omega pack a few of your things," and I saw my suitcase next to the door. I was about to leave the room, and he said, "Don't, Sophie, go into the shower," pointing to the bathroom. I wanted to see Spence before I left, but I showered using my old lotions and soap; after I was ready, he scented me again so I would give off his scent instead of all the random wolves he made me f**k in this pack. Spence mind-linked me, "Be strong, Sophie, and get help if you can; I will wait for the outcome, but whatever happens, I love you, and we will be together soon." I smiled, replying, "I love you, too," before closing the link, seeing Seth look at me with such hate, saying, "Get in the car," and I got into the car as we headed to the airport.

I was on the plane when Seth said again, "Before we land, let's get this straight, you will not tell anyone about what is going on in my pack, you will pretend to be the loving wife and happy mate; If you don't, you will never see your kids again," and showed me a guard playing with the kids at the back of the plane with a gun in his waist, who looked up and smiled at me. I looked at him as my heart broke; I couldn't let them hurt my babies, and I felt fear coming from Noelle as well. Seth was a monster that my father forced me to be with, and I couldn't wait to be gone from around him; I played along because I trusted my man to get us out when I got back, and I nodded my head in understanding.

Seth

I summoned Sophie after I had her things packed; I didn't want to take her with me, but Roman requested to see his daughter as he needed the family support. I am planning to kill her eventually, once Roman is back in power, and make it look like Spence killed her to get rid of him, too. That way, I can mate with Amy, making her my official Luna; unfortunately, to do that, I have to make it look like he killed her in a jealous rage, but he has started treating her badly like the rest, so it will have to be an accident. Sophie recoiled from his touch, so she hated him now, and I smiled that I turned everyone against her. Sophie stood outside the door before I said, "Come in," and she walked in, in her rags, she smelt of cleaning items and something else, but I couldn't put my finger on it, at least, she was doing her chores.

I told her about my plans, and she didn't want to go, but she had to, and I told her she needed to smell like me; she bent over the edge of the bed, she didn't want to look me in the face, and I didn't care. She was not wearing underwear, as I had told her before to never wear any, as a working s*x worker; you never know when my men needed a release. I thrust into her without any foreplay, and she grabbed the sheet as I thrust in and out of her; she didn't make a sound. Her p***y still got wet, but not like before when we were together, just enough for me to finish the job. She despised me, I could tell, and Lennox hated what I did to her, but he was hot and cold with Sophie. He was confused, and sometimes I was too; after she cleaned up, we headed to the Dartmouth Kingdom, and five minutes before we landed, I laid down the rules.

She wasn't expecting it, but I had to make sure she kept her whoring mouth shut and do as I always say, I was dead serious. We reached the Palace, and Roman was happy to see me; the rumors were true, a lot of people had abandoned him, but he was glad to see Sophie, who just remained neutral and silent. He said, "You finally paid a visit after all these years, Sophie," holding out his arm for a hug; I looked at her, and she smiled, saying, "Yes, father," hugging him. He showed us our room and said, "We will be ready tomorrow for the challenge," and he smelled of an omega; it seemed like he was living it up since his wife betrayed him, and it seemed to 'run in the family.' I turned to see Sophie making a makeshift bed on the floor, and I said, "You will sleep in the bed next to me, Sophie," and she looked at me, disappointed, but believe me, I was too, only if I could find a way to take her block down to know what she was truly feeling.
