Sophia's Revenge
Sophia’s Revenge – Chapter 28

Sophia’s POV

I don’t know how long I have been in the hospital. I have occasionally heard people talking and I have heard the beeping of a machine. That noise is annoying. They could turn it off. I can also make out two different smells currently. One of them was Xander and I am not sure who the other is. It reminds me of Kane, but that isn’t his smell. I was torn about whether I wanted to try and open my eyes or not. It didn’t seem bright in here. It could be night.

I know that they saved me, but truthfully, Xander scares me.

“Girl, he is our mate. Get over it, he won’t hurt us.”

“OH, goddess, Stella your back.”

“Girl, I never left. I just had to hide while they had you. If they knew you had your wolf back it would have been so much worse, and I don’t know if we would have survived.”

“I am so sorry about everything. I don’t know if I can move past this. I don’t know if I can ever let someone touch me.”

“We will get past this. We just have to give it time. Now let’s open our eyes and put these boys out of their misery.”

I slowly opened my eyes and found Xander lying on one side of my bed holding my hand and Kane on the other side holding my other hand. It really was sweet. I didn’t want to ruin this moment. I took a few minutes and just stared at them.

I moved both of my hands at the same time, trying to get them to wake up. Neither one of them moved. I tried again and nothing.

The third time, I pulled my hands out of theirs and that had them jumping up.

“Baby girl, you’re awake,” Kane said.

“How do you feel beautiful?” asked Xander.

I tried to talk but no noise came out, it was just a squeak that came out.

“Let me get you some water.” Xander said as he jumped up and ran out the door.

“Baby girl, I have missed you so much. Please don’t ever leave us again like that. I love you and couldn’t handle you being gone from me.” Kane confessed.

I just squeezed his hand in response. He brought tears to my eyes, but they were happy tears. I finally had someone who loved me, even if it was as a friend.

“Here beautiful, drink this.” Xander said as he handed me some water.

I gulped it down like I had never had a drink before. The cold water burned my throat, going down but was relieving at the same time.

“Now, how do you feel beautiful?”

“I hurt.” I managed to get out this time.

“I am sure you do, baby girl. Let me get the doctor, he can give you some meds.”

Kane walked back in with the doctor.

“Sophia, I am so glad to see you awake. I am sure you are hurting and, unfortunately, you might have some pain and discomfort for a while but we can help you manage that. This medicine will also make you sleepy. I will come back later in the morning to check your wounds and talk to you about your injuries.” He said as he placed some meds in my IV.

He was right, I felt sleepy already, but I wasn’t ready to go back to sleep just yet. I wanted to bask in this feeling right now because I didn’t know how long it would last. Right now, I felt loved and cared for and I didn’t want it to end. The meds worked quickly as I could feel my eyes getting heavy. I could hear Kane and Xander both chuckle as I drifted off. Before I drifted off completely, I could feel both of them lean down and k**s my temple. One on each side. I just sighed in contempt and let sleep consume me.

The next time I opened my eyes it was bright in my room and Xander and Kane were still there. I didn’t know how long I had been asleep, but I was feeling better.

“Good afternoon sleeping beauty.” Xander said.

“How long have I been asleep?”

“Well, you woke around 3 am and it is now 4 pm, so like 12ish hours.” Kane replied.

I had a question I was dying to ask but was scared to at the same time. I wanted to know how long I had been out since they rescued me.

“How long have I been out since you guys rescued me?”

They both looked at each other before they answered. I don’t know why they wouldn’t answer me. I don’t understand what the big deal was. I am going to live.

“Well, baby girl, you were in a coma for 3 weeks,” Kane finally said.

“What happened to Blaine and Spencer?”

Again, they didn’t want to answer me. I am assuming they are dead.

“Someone better answer me!”

“Currently, all of the ranked members of your old pack that are alive are in our cells being held until their trial.” Xander said.

“What do you mean they are being held until their trial?”

“Well, everyone has had a part to play in your entire life. There are things that we are just now figuring out. We had to call the council in. They have been investigating your old pack since your parents died.” Xaner said.

“What do you mean since my parents died? They died in a rouge attack”

“No, they didn’t Sophia. Yes, they died but it wasn’t just some random rouge attack. The Alpha and beta of your old pack, hired some rouges to attack and kill your parents.” Xander explained.

“What do you mean?” I asked, on the verge of tears.

“Oh, baby girl, we didn’t want to tell you this way, but you need to know the truth. Everything that Xander has said is true. Your parents knew your true identity and told the Alpha and Beta about you. They decided that you would be too powerful. They decided to have your parents killed and to turn you into a pack slave and when your Wolfe showed up, they fed you wolfsbane to keep her away. When we rescued you, it ruined their plan. I am so sorry you have had to go through this,” Kane said.

I was sobbing by the time he got done telling me everything. Xander bent down and tried to pick me up.

“NO! Please just go away. Everyone just go away.” I yelled.

“Beautiful we are not leaving you ever again.” Xander whispered to me.

“Please just get out,” I yelled again.

It was getting hard to breathe and I was gasping for air. They were both trying to get me to calm down, but I couldn’t, and I felt Stella coming forward.

“Leave her now!” Stella yelled.

They both left and I started to calm down.

“Stella, my parents are dead because of me. I always thought it was some random attack.”

“Oh girl, it was not your fault. You can’t stop the actions of anyone else. You could not stop them from this just like you couldn’t stop the men who kidnapped you.”

“Oh girl, get your tears out because we have to get better. We have mates waiting for us. We have love in our future and I for one can’t wait. You remember that feeling when you first woke that you had. That overwhelming feeling of love. Hold on to that for right now and we will get through this.” She said.

She was right. I could do this. Everyone who has hurt me, or my parents is going to pay if it is the last thing I do.

The doctor walked in a little while later and asked to talk to me.

“Sophia, I would like to discuss your injuries and answer any questions you have,” he said.

“OK.”

“Well, you had to have surgery because your spleen was bleeding, you lost a kidney. Don’t worry, you can live a full life with one. You also had multiple broken bones and your body was covered in large gashes everywhere. I can see that your wolf is already healing you. That is great. You will probably be here a few more days. I don’t want to rush you out of here. There were more injuries, but it is going to be a hard one to come to terms with. As you are aware, you were raped repeatedly and the trauma from that I am afraid has caused you to become infertile. I am so sorry about all of this. I would also like to send in a counselor to talk with you.”

I didn’t respond to what he said. I just rolled over and began to cry. Those fuckers have taken everything from me. I mean literally everything. My parents are dead because of them. They took my innocence from me and, now because of them, I can’t give my mate a pup one day. That is something that I always wanted. I don’t know how long I had been lying there crying when I heard the door open and both Xander and Kane walked in.

“Oh, baby girl, please don’t cry.” Kane said.

Xander came over and got in bed behind me and just held me and, right now, that was what I needed, because it wouldn’t last. Once he knew that I couldn’t give him the two most important things to a Wolfe, then he would reject me.

“Kane, can you please let me talk with Xander alone?”

“Of course, anything for you baby girl,” he said, leaning down and kissing my forehead.

I knew he wasn’t going to do it, so I had to.

“Xander, will you please come over here and face me please. I need you out of my bed for this.”

He got out and walked around to face me. He had tears in his eyes for some reason.

“Girl, he is our mate. We don’t need to do this. He will love us regardless.”

I ignored Stella’s comment and closed my eyes, trying to get my courage to go through with this.

“I am sorry, but I have to do this, you don’t want me. You deserve someone who can give you everything I can’t. I, Sophia of Yellow Moon, reject….” I couldn’t finish my sentence because he cut me off with a k**s.

His lips gently touched mine as he cut out off what I was saying. He moved them softly against mine before bringing his tongue to my lips asking for permission to enter my mouth. I wouldn’t grant it though. I pulled my head back and broke the k**s. “Xander, you can’t do that, you don’t want me.”

“What do you mean I don’t want you?”

“I have had everything taken away from me that I had to give you. I saved myself for my mate and those assholes took it from me. I also will never be able to give you a pup.” I told him as I started to cry again.

“Beautiful, look at me.”

I wouldn’t look up. I couldn’t. I didn’t want to see his face as he rejected me. He placed his hand under my chin and pulled my chin up, so I was looking at him. I was met with nothing but love in his eyes.

“Beautiful, I would never reject you because of those things. You are still pure because it was something that you haven’t given someone but had taken from you. That doesn’t count, and well, we can always adopt a pup when the time is right. There are so many pups out there that need a loving home that we can provide for them. Hell, if you want ten of them, then that is what we can do,” he said.

“Are you sure about this?” I asked

“I have never been so sure about anything in my life.” He said as he leaned down and kissed me again.

“Girl, I told you he would love us. But just so you know things are about to get a lot more complicated.”

“What do you mean?”

Before she could answer, she screamed in my head “MATE!” as Kane walked into my room.

He walked over to my bed and said “Mate” and leaned down and kissed me as well. His k**s held so much heat behind it. When he pulled away, I was again met with so much love in his eyes.

“Stella, I am so confused right now. How do I have two mates?”

” You’re an emerald wolf. We always have two mates. The second mate bond can’t snap into place until you accept your first mate and that is what you did when you told Xander the truth and laid it out on the line for him and when he said he would love you no matter what, it allowed for the bond with Kane to come forward. That is why you have always loved him. It was always there, and you could feel it, but you didn’t know what it was.”

I looked at both the boys and just smiled. I knew with them by my side I could get through this. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I could do it.
