Chapter 169

SONIA’S POV

I took a dip in the water, and a moan

an of s satisfaction escaped my throat.

“It feels good, doesn’t it?” I heard Ivy scream from behind.

1 whipped my face behind, and gave her a positive smile, followed by a thumbs up.

She laughed, and continued sipping her morning juice

From my position, she didn’t seem li

like a maid. There was some royal distinction about her that warmed my heart.

“Maybe she’s meant to become a Luna someday,” I muttered, as I returned my attention to the water.

It had been a while since I swam. The water looked vast and motivating

I wondered how far I could swim, and tried to test out the theory.

I dropped, and began to swim underwater. Ivy seemed engrossed with her breakfast. She wouldn’t miss me if I was just gone awhile.

I swam underwater without exactly knowing the direction I was headed…

At intervals. I’d come up to catch my breath, and dive in aga

surrounding trees grew thicker every time I came up p for breath.

Even the water began to feel less fresh, which told me I had swam way past my starting point.

I began to feel like I had enough of the water already, and should return back before something happened.

As I was gearing to turn, I felt something bump across my leg.

My heart leaped to my mouth in fear, as I tried to turn around even faster.

Whatever it was that hac bumped into me, suddenly grabbed my legs.

I couldn’t move, no matter how hard I tried.

Reflexively, Lopened my mouth to scream, when my body was turned, and I came face to face with Ramon.

“Shhhh,” he placed a finger on my lips..

My eyes bulged with both confusion, and surprisingly relief.

Out of all the horrible things that crossed my mind, his presence wasn’t that bad.

His hand went to my hair, and he patted it to the side, so my face was clearly visible to him.

“What are you doing here?” I asked after funding my

now.

Last time we saw, I chased him out of my room, and in a way, my life. I guess none of that mattered no “Alpha Liam is swimming at the other end, so I think we should be quiet,” he continued when I didn’t respond to him.

It wasn’t because I had lost my voice again. I just didn’t know what to say to him.

Chapter 160

“Seriously Sonia, are you just going to keep me quiet?”

“Punish me then. You’re good at that, anyway. You could just be brutal and force me to speak to you,” I replied maliciously.

To my surprise, he smiled. A full on smile that brightened his eyes.

“Is that really what you want?” He filled that smile with a question that made him just sound like a maniac in my head.

“I want you to leave me alone.” I replied boldly.

1 honestly couldn’t tell where the boldness came from. Perhaps, it was just exhaustion from being burned one too many times.

“Well you see, I can’t do that. It’s practically impossible to do that. You’re still a prisoner in my pack. How can I leave you alone?”

“Wait, that doesn’t even make sense! You can just ignore me. Imagine you’ve thrown me in a cell. Well technically, you did throw me into a house that’s basically a cell,” I said, and somehow he found that funny, because he chuckled.

-What’s so funny!”

“You’re pretty,” he replied, and I stupidly couldn’t help the rose hue that instantly formed on my face.

“I like that,” he continued.

“Like what?” I asked, burying my face to the waters.

The way your eyes sparkle. You’re very beautiful, Sonia.”

I was losing myself to his words. They felt really good to listen to. Like I was floating above water.

But as quickly as that feeling formed, it faded into darkness.

“Nope,” I said, and shook my head.

“No?” He lifted a rather fine brow,

I was almost distracted again, but I stood my ground.

“You’re just trying to distract me from the fact you got Lorena pregnant, and then slept with me without telling me going to fall for it.”

you got her pregnant. I’m not

He sighed, and I gloated inwardly. If he thought he was just going to swoop into the waters like a shark, and try to weasel his way into my heart. then he had something the coming for him.
