Chapter 121
SONIAS POV
I rolled my hair that had slipped out of its band into a bun, and tucked the strands in.
“Let’s find this thing. Sonia”
I began to motivate myself with every step I took. So what if Ramon left me in the middle of nowhere, just like that? It wouldn’t even be the hundredth worst thing he’ll ever done to inc
At least I could be alone with my thoughts. They were very random thoughts.
From wishing I had magical powers, so I could use it to trap Ramon in a cage, to dreaming of all the places I could visit
1 wore a smile, and began to hum as I searched. I still didn’t know what I was supposed to be looking for.
If I had not foolishly separated from Ivy, I wouldn’t be in this position.
My thoughts overcame my consciousness again. I imagined everyone already finding the spot, whilst I walked around, aimlessly.
So many what if’s formed in my head. What if I walked round, and right back to the snake! What if it looks at me hungrily, and moves to attack
me
The thought made me shudder, and I increased the volume of my hum, to drown out my thoughts.
I took a turn, and almost slipped to the ground.
“Sonia?” Ivy’s voice called, and it woke my wolf’s quick reflex
She helped me stabilize my form, and a rush of adrenaline kicked in me.
Thank you,” I whispered to my wolf, and she purred in response.
I chuckled, just as Ivy made it to me. “Why didn’t you answer when I called?” She chided.
“I almost fell, and was trying to stabilize myself,” I replied.
“What happened to your mask?” She asked, drawing closer to me,
“A snake chased me, and in a bid to escape it, I must have tossed the mask away”
She nodded in understanding. “You did say you were afraid of snakes. Are you okay now?”
thanks to Alpha Ramon. He saved me from the snake, and then left me alone,”
“Yeali, he’s a bit of a weirdo, that one. Pay him no mind. Let’s go o find the buffet.”
because my tongue was burning to question her.
I didn’t immediately move,
She noticed I wasn’t coming along, and halted on her tracks. Turning around, she regarded me questioningly. “Why aren’t you coming?
“Why do you talk about him so casually?” I countered her question, with a question.
Her brow furrowed curiously. “What do you mean by that?”
“You always talk as if you have a relationship deeper than just a maid, and an alpha relationship with Kat
Ramon.”
meant to come out condescending, or accusatory. I hoped she didn’t pick that tone from my
She frowned, and my heart skipped a beat. I had not in question
“I’ve been a member of this pack for a very long time. Practically grew up in it. I only speak this casually about the alpha, because I’ve known him for that long. And also, only in your presence. But if you want me to talk about him so sternly in your presence, I have no gripe with that.” She shrugged.

Chapter 121
She was acting nonchalant. Like it wasn’t that deep of a situation. I could still tell she was hiding something, but once again, didn’t want to push it.
“I’m just scared of someone eavesdropping, and reporting back to him. Don’t you get scared of being punished?”
She chortled dryly. “I told you already. Sonia. Alpha Ramon is not brutal. He’s very fair in his assessment, really”
“But I saw you kneeling, that night I came to him. He obviously punished, despite the fact Lorena started first with you.”
“Nope she didn’t.” she smiled, and moved closer to me. Her hand touched my arms lightly. “I know you want to defend me because we’re close, and 1 find that so sweet of you, but we can still be honest. I started with Lorena. She shouldn’t have tried to hit me, but I started it.”
“But if he was as fair as you insist he is, he should have cautioned her for her actions too.”
“And you think he’d do that in my presence! Like you said, Sonia, I’m just a maid. There are boundaries”
“I didn’t mean that in a condescending way, by the way, my head lowered pitifully. “I’m just shocked at how free you are with him. I’ve noticed his relationship with some of the other servants. There’s more sense of authority there, no doubt. But with you, and Blane, and Daniel–1 guess he just really likes the three of you
I decided to end it on that note, because I didn’t want any lingering awkwardness. between us.
“Come here,” she opened her arms, this time, s genuine smile on her face.
I went in for a hug, as she tightened her hand around me.
“You know what I’m going to pray for during the full moon ceremony?” She asked, as we hugged. “Are you su
sure you want to tell me that?”
you want to
- ta. But guess?”
“I would love to.
“Uhmmm, maybe more food? Dresses?”
She bursted into a fit of laughter, and I was amused by her reaction
Probably because I was dead serious, guessing away, and here she was, laughing at my guesses.
“Sometimes, I forget you’re still a princess. The shallowness comes out, and I’m like yeah, there she is.”
“Im sorry, I didn’t mean to be shallow.”
“Oh no, no, no-” she pulled away, to hold my hands. “It’s not in a bad way. At least not like the way Lorena does it. Yours is cuter.”
“You’re just defending me because we’re close.” I used her template, causing her to chuckle.
“Nice one,” she bobbed her head. “Anyway, here’s what I would pray for in the full moon. Now you don’t have to tell me yours, or anything like that. I just think you should know mine, okay?”
1 nodded, ready to hear her prayer request.
She pushed her mouth to my ears, so she was directly speaking to them.
“I’ll pray for you to experience every aspect of Ramon, so that whenever this comes to an end, you wouldn’t want to leave.”
My heart leaped, because I could see how thoughtful that prayer was in her head, but to me- it scared me to death..
