Sophia's Revenge
Sophia’s Revenge – Chapter 25

Xander’s POV

I was headed up to Sophia’s room when I ran into my dad at the bottom of the stairs.

“Son, I was looking for you. My friend Clark is here and wants to meet you right now.”

“Can’t it wait, I need to check on Sophia.”

“No, he is an impatient man and doesn’t want to be here long. He has done me a huge favor traveling all this way.”

I just sighed and followed my dad to my office. I mind linked Kane to tell him to come to my office. He replied telling me he was with Luke and asked if he should come also. He should know what was going on, so I told him to also come.

I got to my office and a small man was sitting in one of the chairs in front of my desk. You could tell he had been traveling by wolf, he was dirty. His gray hair looked greasy, and he smelled like he hadn’t bathed in years.

“Nice to meet you Clark,” I said.

“Nice to meet you as well Xander.”

This irritated me since he didn’t use my title like he should, but since it was my dad’s friend, I will ignore it for now.

Kane and Luke walked in about that time, and I introduced them both. Kane knew what was going on, but Luke had no clue.

My dad began by introducing my beta and gamma.

“Clark this is Beta Kane and Gamma Luke. Let me begin by telling you what I think Sophia is. I believe she is an emerald wolf.”

“No, dad I know she is.”

“How do you know that?” asked Clark.

“I have had some suspicions about it and did a little research about it and there are just too many things that line up.”

“Do you mind telling me what you have noticed about her that makes you say that?” Asked Clark.

I took a big breath and began.

“Well, for starters, the type of abuse she has had to endure only an emerald wolf could survive, her eyes also glow if she is extremely emotional. She was fed wolfsbane in her old pack and her wolf hasn’t returned yet but Sophia caught both Kane and I looking at something that angered her and her, wolf Stella pushed forward and yelled at us and was completely able to block Sophia. She still doesn’t know that it happened. There is also one more thing, but we still aren’t sure how to approach it yet.”

Luke just sat there staring at us like we were crazy.

“Hold up, you guys seriously think those stupid kid’s stories are real? You really think that your mate is one of them?”

“I know she is”, I told him.

“What is the one thing that you are not sure about?” asked Clark.

“Well sir, I believe that I am also her mate,” Kane said.

Both my dad and Luke had their jaws hanging open so far that flies could set up camp there. Kane and I just sat staring at each other not really knowing what to say or do next.

Clark was just sitting back in his chair laughing at all of us.

“I am sorry, it has been a while since I have seen this situation play out and, yes, I can say one hundred percent that Sophia is most defiantly an emerald wolf.”

“What does that mean going forward? What can we do to help her? She hasn’t had the easiest life.”

“All emerald wolves suffer because of who they are. They are chosen by the moon goddess herself. They must suffer so that when they come to full power, they don’t just destroy everything. They have learned the true meaning of pain and suffering. Once they have their powers, it means something big is coming. The last time was when witches were finally stopped, and we were able to control their power until someone was placed in charge of them.”

“How do they come to their full powers?” Kane asked.

“They have to be mated and marked to both of their mates and she will have to mark both of her mates as well.”

Kane and I just looked at each other knowing we would need to discuss this more.

“How do you know so much about emerald wolfs?” I asked.

“My sister was one. She led a miserable life until she met her two mates and things got better before they got worse. I tried to help her however I could, but there wasn’t a lot I could do for her.”

Is your sister OK now?”

“She passed when she lost her mates.”

“My condolences sir.”

“No need, that was a long time ago. Now where is this emerald wolf? I would love to meet her,” Clark said.

Kane jumped up, “I will go get her.”

“Sir, if I may ask what powers did your sister have?”

“She could control the elements and control the power of people around her. She could lessen it so they couldn’t use it until she released it back to them.”

“Wow, that is some serious control,” Luke said.

“Well, it always came at a price. Many times, it almost killed her. She would be unconscious for days afterwards,” he said.

It was then that I got a mind link from Kane, saying “Sophia, is not in her room or the dining room.”

“What do you mean she isn’t there?” I replied to him.

“I can’t find her anywhere.” I could hear the panic in his voice. She couldn’t have gotten far. Kane only left her about 4 hours ago.

“We have a problem everyone. Kane cannot find Sophia.”

They all jumped up and ran out of the office with me. Clark didn’t know what she looked like but said he would recognize an emerald wolf if he saw one.

We all ran downstairs to find a frantic Kane looking in the weirdest places. I sent out a pack wide mind link asking if anyone had seen her.

I got a reply from a warrior who said he saw her about 3 and half hours ago out in the forest. I let them know that and we all headed out there trying to pick her scent from where he said he saw her. We could smell it, but it was faint. It led us to the border and then just disappeared. We also picked up other scents, but we didn’t know whose they were.

Kane and I were both frantic about not knowing where our mate was. We both let out a painful howl and shifted into our wolves, running through the forest in search of other clues.

“Son, I know you’re upset, but you need to use your head for this. She doesn’t know the area, and nobody knows her. Who is the one person who wants her?”

s**t, he was right. Blaine. I was going to kill him.

“Kane, it has to be Blaine. Back to the pack house, we are going to organize an attack and go get her.”

We all got back to the pack house, and I called all of our warriors to our meeting room, including my mom and sister. I announced to everyone that we had someone very special to our pack missing and we were going to go get her. My mom and sister understood immediately who I was talking about and were both very upset. They may not have had a lot of interaction with her, but they loved her. We all came up with a plan that we could agreed on and set in motion.

My dad had called the council while we were gathering supplies so that they would be aware of what we were doing. They plan on meeting us there, but it will take them a few hours to get there, but for us it will only be an hour’s drive.

“Kane, she better be ok, or someone is going to pay for it and it is not going to be pretty.” I told him.

“I know, I am ready to rip some heads off, but will wait until we arrive at their pack to do so.”

We all got ready and left within 30 minutes. I had taken 50 of our best warriors with us, plus my dad, Clark, and Luke. The rest were standing guarding our pack in case there was a counterattack while we were gone. I knew their pack was weak. They didn’t have trained warriors like we did, and they didn’t have any alliances like we did. I had called my closest ally, Wyatt, to let him know I might need help and gave him a quick rundown of everything so he could be prepared. He told me he would have a group ready to go in 30 minutes and on standby if I called.

The 30-minute ride to their pack was horrible. Kane and I were both on edge and doing everything we could to not shift and let our wolves take over right then.

When we got there, nobody was guarding the entrance. In fact, we were able to go all the way to the pack house before we came across anyone. Kane and I both jumped out, and stormed the front door and barged in. Everyone was scrambling around trying to get away from us, but we hadn’t attacked anyone yet. I roared out for Alpha Wayne. It took him five minutes to make it down the stairs.

“Where is she?” I roared.

“Who is she?”

“Sophia!” Both Kane and I roared.

“I don’t know where that stupid b***h is but when I find her, I will make her pay for leaving us.” He said as if it was no sweat off his back.

I didn’t have to do anything because Kane shifted so fast and tore his head off. He fell to the ground in a heap of b***d. It gave a small satisfaction to see his head detached from his body.

My warriors had formed a barrier around the house. This didn’t let anyone come in or out of the house. I sent my best trackers to look for her. Kane and I started with the cells, thinking that is where they would keep her. It didn’t take long for the beta and gamma to come forward to see what was going on. My dad was there and would handle it. I could hear their Luna come down screaming about her mate. I could care less.

“Kane, I don’t sense her down here, can you?”

“No, she isn’t here.”

I got a mind link from one of the warriors about something they found. We rushed up to where they were. It was a closet, but it smelled slightly like Sophia. I walked around and looked at what she had. There wasn’t much there but a few personal belongings. I looked at a warrior and told him to pack this room up and place it in a car.

We headed downstairs to see what was going on. Kane was still in his wolf form and wouldn’t be changing back anytime soon.

My voice boomed throughout the entrance “Where is Sophia?” Whoever tells me will be given leniency with punishment.”

Still, nobody came forward. They all just looked at us.

“OK, if nobody wants to talk, we will continue to kill off your pack one by one until she is found.”

“You can get the hell out of here is what you can do, Xander!” Beta Sam screamed.

I rushed at him and grabbed his throat and was squeezing so hard he was turning purple.

“I will remind you that Kane here has already taken care of your Alpha. Do you want to be next?”

I didn’t give him a chance to answer and threw him into a wall, leaving a nice imprint of his body. He wasn’t dead but was defiantly unconscious.

I got a mind link from Jarrod; he was outside surrounding the house. “Sir, the future Alpha and his Beta have yet to be located.”

I sent a link to all my pack members that I wanted everyone gathered and put into their meeting room so we could continue our search without them getting in our way.

The council had finally shown up and taken control of the pack and allowed me to do what I needed to do. Kane and I could not find her. We looked everywhere we thought she might be. I had even gone back in and interviewed the beta and gamma who claimed to know nothing. The beta’s daughter was finally found, and she claimed to know nothing either.

“f**k, what are we going to do? I know she is here somewhere, Kane.”

He just looked at me broken because we couldn’t find her. We continued with our search and expanded it to the forest and any house we could find. All pack members were in the meeting room being interviewed by the council.

After a day and half of searching we had not found Sophia or any trace of her. We couldn’t find Blaine and his stupid little Beta either. Nobody’s parents or siblings were talking either.

“Xander, I think we need to go home.”

“I am not leaving until we find her, how can you give up like that?”

“I am not giving up, I think Clarissa might be able to help us.”

“You’re right, I never thought of that. Let’s go now.”
