Sophia's Revenge
Sophia’s Revenge – Chapter 38

Sophia’s POV

**2 Months Later**

It has been two months since I was able to get my revenge on three of the people that hurt me. The other people were already dead so I couldn’t get my revenge on them. It took Stella awhile to come around and talk to me. She thought she had a full block up but didn’t and I could see everything. She thought I hated her. I didn’t, but it took a while to convince her of that. It also took me awhile to get over what we did to both Blaine and Spencer. I felt like I took it too far, but Stella didn’t think so. She thought they got off easy compared to what we went through.

I have also continued to meet with Jennifer, the counselor. She has been a huge help to me. We have been moving at a slow pace, discussing my whole life and working through it, but it is helping. She says with my trauma, it could take years until I am fully better if I ever get better.

I have also been having regular dates with both my mates. I go with Kane on Monday and Xander on Wednesday and then, on Friday’s, we all have a date. We also train together every morning. We get up at 5 am and start in the gym and then go outside to the training grounds so I can work with Stella. She seems to be a natural. I have gotten stronger and gained some weight. The training has also given me some confidence.

There are so many differences between the two. Xander is the quiet, dominating type and, while that scares me, he has always been gentle. He doesn’t ever want to talk about him but is more than willing to talk about me. He will ask me every day how therapy was. Kane is the polar opposite. He wants to talk all the time. I think there are some days when I don’t have to say a word when I am with him. Our dates are also very different. Xander likes to go to small restaurants and keep things calm. Kane, however, is always up for some type of adventure. So far, he has talked me into the back of a motorcycle, a theme park, learning to roller blade, and hiking up a mountain. While I look forward to our dates, sometimes I get a little nervous. Usually, our Friday night dates we just us having dinner in my room and watching movies. I had yet to take any steps outside of kissing either one of my mates.

I was up in my room and had just gotten out of the shower and was going to get ready for my date with Xander. I had no clue where we were going. He wouldn’t tell me. He said it was a surprise. Suddenly, someone was knocking at my door. I figured it was Kane, but they didn’t just enter, they kept knocking. I went to the door and opened it, and Sara was standing there holding a big box and a bag of something. Sara was gamma Lukes’s mate. She has quickly become one of my closet friends and Avery.

“Hey Sara, what’s up?”

“I am here to help you get ready. Xander sent me. Avery will be here soon.”

“Why do I need help getting ready?”

“He said he has a surprise for you tonight and wants you to feel as beautiful as you are.”

Like clockwork, Avery walked in. She doesn’t ever knock!

“Oh, my goddess, are you ready for this, Sophia?”

“Honestly, you guys have me a little nervous.”

They sat me down in the middle of the room where I couldn’t see anything they were doing. All I know is that they pulled and applied heat and sprayed my hair. Then Avery started on my face and Sara was painting my nails. It had taken them about two hours to get me ready. I was really ready to see what they did.

“Stella, do you think we look like a clown? I can’t tell because they won’t let me see and it felt like they were putting paint on my face.”

“HAHAHA girl, you will look beautiful. These are your best friends. What do you expect? They’re not going to make you look like a clown.”

“OK, Sophia, Xander wanted us to give you this box before you got dressed. Also, we had instructions to leave before you opened it. I just want to say I am proud of you. You have come so far and also you look absolutely stunning.” Avery said.

“Stop, you girls are going to make me cry.” I said.

“OK, OK were out of here now. Have a great night.” Sara said as they left the room.

I took the box and went to my bed. I pulled the top off and there was a card and blue velvet box laying on top of tissue paper. I opened the card first. It was cream in color and nothing on the front of it. I opened it up and it read:

Beautiful,

You have come so far, the past two months. I am so proud of you. You deserve all the happiness in the world. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. Please wear what is in this box tonight.

Love, Xander.

I placed the blue box to the side and pulled the tissue paper aside. Below it was a beautiful dress. It was long and silky and emerald green to match my eyes. It was the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. This whole thing was too much but I would wear it for him. Beneath the dress was a pair of black high heels. I grabbed the blue box and pulled the lid open. In the box sat a set of diamond earrings and the most beautiful tear drop necklace. Now I did have tears in my eyes.

I went and put the dress on. It fits me like a glove. It hugged all my curves just right and showed just enough cleavage. The only problem was you could see the scars on my back, but this was something I had to face. I had to get used to people seeing them. There was another knock at my door when I was trying to undo the necklace. This time it was Kane, because he just came in.

“Oh my goddess. I, wow, I mean wow you look amazing.” Kane said.

“Thank you. I take it you approve?”

“I more than approve. You look like a goddess in that dress. I am jealous that he is taking you out tonight and not me. I don’t get to stare at you in that and that is all I want to do.”

My face was flushing from his complements. I hadn’t even looked in the mirror yet, so I don’t even know what I look like. I kept fumbling with the necklace.

“Baby girl, let me help you with that.”

He came over and undid the necklace and placed it around my neck and placed a k**s on my marking spot, sending shivers throughout my body.

“Here, you need to put the earrings in also.”

“I can’t, my ears aren’t pierced.”

“Well now I know what we are doing on my next date. Please let me escort you down the stairs to your hot date.”

“Thank you, Kane.”

“Girl, we look hot. Did you see our mate when he walked in. He was practically drooling. He wants to take us to bed, and we need to let him. You are giving these guys blue balls and need to give into the pleasure. I promise it will be worth it.”

“I know, Stella. It will happen soon. I am getting more comfortable when they touch me.”

Kane walked me downstairs, where we met Xander at the bottom.

“Holy goddess. You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. You look ravishing tonight. Are you ready?” Xander said.

Kane bent down and placed a k**s on my cheek while handing me over to Xander. “Have the best time tonight baby girl.”

“Xander, you look pretty good yourself.” I told him. He was wearing black slacks and a tight white button up shirt.

He led me out to the car and opened the door for me and went around and got in.

“Where are we going tonight?”

“You will see, it is a surprise.”

He drove through the forest for a while and then took a back road for a while. He pulled up to a stop where there was a canopy set up. It had fairy lights set up throughout and a table in the center. He gets out of the car and comes and opens the door for me.

“Xander, this is beautiful. When did you have time to do this?”

“It’s something I have been working on for a while. Will you have this dance with me?” He asked as we got to the canopy and music started playing.

When we walked under it, music started to play, and he grabbed my hand and placed his other hand on my lower back and pulled me closer to him as he led me around dancing. I snuggled up close to him and inhaled his scent. Stella was in my head purring like a dam cat. She was so content to just stay like this the rest of the night.

When the song was over, he took me over to the table and pulled my chair out for me. On the table were two plates covered so they would stay warm. There was also a single white rose and candles.

“Let’s eat Sophia,”

I pulled the cover off my plate and there sat pizza, my favorite. I busted up laughing. He planned the most romantic date I have ever been on, and he had pizza. I loved it. It was my favorite food.

“Why are you laughing? I thought this was your favorite?”

“It is absolutely my favorite. It’s just, this is so romantic, and you have done so much to set this up and then this dress and the jewelry and you give me greasy pizza to eat. It is the perfect date for me!”

“I am glad that you are enjoying it.”

We finished eating and talked for a while.

“Sophia, will you have another dance with me before we leave.”

“I would love to.”

We both got up and he walked around the table and grabbed my hand and placed it around his neck and I brought my other one up to his neck and he draped his hands around my waist. This time we are much closer. There was no space between us actually. I laid my head on his chest and let him lead me around. This was happiness. This is what made me happy, and I hoped I lived the rest of my life like this.
