Chapter 123
SONIA’S POV
The boy Ivy introduced me to was
me to was super funny
funny. He told the most outrageous stories in the ca
e calnest voice.
I found myself laughing so hard, I forgot it was a buffet, and I was supposed to eat.
After tonight, only the moon goddess knew when I would have that much food selection.
But every time I tried to move away, he jumped into another story, and I was instantly glued.
I didn’t even notice Ivy had slipped away, until she returned with two plates in her hands.
“Hey, take this. If you listen to Moon, you’ll be here all day.”
“Your name is Moon!” I smiled, as 1 accepted the plate from Ivy, and even muttered a thank you.
“To be fair, my parents weren’t that creative,” he chuckled
“Weren’t!” I lifted a quizzical brow.
“Yeah, they died ten years after the attack. Unfortunately, they never got over the trauma.”
“What a–ph”
My mouth grew bitter. Because of my father, so many people had lost their identities.
I never really
ly thought of it that way
way, and always felt down the road, there would be room for redemption.
“Hey, you don’t have to be sad about it. The alpha found most of us again, and look at the pack now
“I know, I’m still sorry?
You know, I always wondered why many members of the pack wouldn’t give me a chance. I thought it was just the alpha’s orders. But now, I can understand why they’d want nothing to do with me. I’m a horrible reminder of a horrible tragedy.”
“Stop it, Sonia. You’re not your father. You didn’t do anything.” Ivy said angrily.
-She’s right. Sonia. C Can I call you Sonia?”
“I wouldn’t have you call me anything. In this pack, you’re of higher ranking than I am?
“Well, that’s objectively not true,” he laughed.
“It isn’t?” I inquired.
“Yep. You’re supposed to be the alpha’s mate, right?”
I scoffed. “That’s just a mistake. I’m sure one day, we’d come to find out that there was a flaw somewhere in that destiny.”
“Why do you always do that?” Ivy dropped her spoon, and it rang loudly on the plate.
Thankfully, we were a little bit isolated from other gatherings.
I don’t
understand. Why are you mad at me?”
“Because you talk like everything’s set in stone. As if things cannot change. I have hope that whatever this stupid fight is about, one day, there will be ptare. You and Ramon will find your way to each other, because it is fate, and destiny.”
-I think so too” Moon stroked my ar
I looked down, shocked by the feeling that just rushed through me.
“Your hands,” I said.
“There she goes changing the topic” Ivy hissed in frustration.

Chapter 123
“No Ivy, I’m serious. I’ve read somewhere about hands like these. They make the best precious stones.
Moo chuckled nervously. “What are you talking about? I wasn’t even brave, or strong enough to make the list of the pack warriors. How is it possible to know anything about precious stones, when I’m nothing but a servant?”.
“Don’t say that. In ancient packs, there were certain people who enriched the pack’s bank. They were usually very close to the alpha’s. In some cases. they were even the alpha’s bela’s.”
“Are you sure you haven’t lou your mind? With all due respect, of course”
“No, I think she’s dead serious. Sonia doesn’t lie, Ivy said.
“I wouldn’t lie about something like this. Your hands are very special. Someday, you’ll be a well renowned young man.”
He reached for my shoulders, and patted it gently
“Thank you for your kind words, but I’d much rather leave now, before the alpha tears me apart with just his eyes.”
“What are you talking about?” I added, rolling my head in confusion.
When I turned towards his directions again, he had walked away.
That just happened!” I questioned Ivy in confusion.
“I think it’s Ramon. He scared him off with his eyes”
I stared towards the direction of Ramon, and he had his hand resting on Lorena’s waist, whilst she fed him.
My wolf growled with jealousy, as I moved my eyes
“I don’t think you both know what you’re talking about. He’s too invested in Lorena to notice me. And even if he wasn’t with Lorena, he still wouldn’t notice me.”
Like I said, that disbelief again. You need to learn to trust in yourself. It’s sad to witness you not know what you are, and what you carry. Really sad.” She shook her head, and continued munching on her food.
I hoped the bitterness in my mouth had worn off enough to eat. Just as I was about to put a spoon of the soup in my mouth, someone brushed past me on purpose.
The plate slipped out of my hands, and dropped to the ground,
“You can’t be that careless, outcast!” I heard, followed by a swift slap landing on my face,
It happened so fast, I barely had space to breathe in–between.
My hands went to my burning cheeks, as I rubbed the sting.
What the hell as wrong with you? Why would you slap her? I heard Ivy scream,
I could feel numerous pairs of eyes turning to stare at us. But I was trying my ha
my hardest not to burst into tears, despite my face hurting so b badly.
“What do you think you’re doing?” The girl that slapped me, asked. “Why are you always defending a girl that has a murderous father? A father who is the reason our pack suffered greatly? Why our alpha still have to fight battles! Don’t you see that she’s the child of a demon?!” She screamed back at Ivy
Ivy moved towards her in rage, but I quickly intercepted her movement, before she could cause major damage.
“Leave her alone. It’s not worth it. People are staring
“I don’t care. She can’t speak to you that way. It’s totally unacceptable:
“By whose authority is it unacceptable
I turned around, and there Ramon tood. Beside him, Lorena smirked.
My shoulders slouched, because I knew things were going to get even messier.
