Chapter 216
SONIAS POV
When I opened my eyes again, we were pulling into the abandoned house,
My heart skipped with excitement, and relief because we had made it here without much hassle.
“You seem rather ecstatic, Jeil laughed.
“Oh you have no idea. I’m so happy, I could burst,”
I’m glad you are.”
He parked the car, and 1
car, and I hopped out, my eyes scanning the environment.
The last time you were here, you were just a kid,” he said behind ane.
I scoffed, and rolled my eyes. “You talk as if you’re that much older than me.”
“I’m not, but I’m still older. He stuck out his tongue at ine, before carrying my bag inside.
“Hey, wait for me?” I called, running after him.
“Wow” I blurted as soon as we stepped into the house.
You’d never know it was a
abandoned. It looked clean, andwell groomed,
“For such a short notice, you’d agree t
they did a fine job in clearing up this space, right?” He suddenly asked me
“Who are you talking about, Jed? The last time, you mentioned
“Come, I’ll show you to your room,” he said, interrupting me.
It was like he didn’t want me to ask him any questions at all.
I did appreciate his help, but I hated being kept in the dark.
to know who else was helping me. If for anything, to thank them for their help.

Regardless of the bitter taste his dismissal left in my mouth, I followed him up the stairs anyway.
This mansion was u
was just one of our fathers numerous properties
Rumor had it that the reason he abandoned this was my mother.
It was her favorite place to visit, because of its ambience.
Every time he came around this place, he was overwhelmed with the memory of my mother
A love like that, I wondered if it was anything short of the designs of the moon goddess
I entered the room Jed walked into, and smiled.
“This house is h
huge. I’d probably get lost in it.
“Make yoursell comfortable then. I have to return to Silverpaw before suspicion starts to brew against me.”
“Wait, you’re leaving me here, alone?” I screamed in alarm.
But right after, I chide myself in my head. What did I think would happen?
Even though he had helped me, he had to also save his head.
“Don’t worry, y
you’re not alone. I have other surprises waiting for you

“You find out” he said with a note of finality
I gave up trying to convince him to stay with me, because there was just no point in doing that.
I had to start figuring shit out on my own, starting right now.
When lifted my head, he passed at the door.
He turned around swiftly, and sauntered purposely towards me.
“What is it?” I asked, hoping he had changed his mind, and was going to stay with me
But much to my surprise, he pulled me in for a dear hig
his for?” I as
“What’s this for?” asked
Im just proud of how far you’ve come. You’ve done really well, Sonia. You have no servants at your beck and call. Use them. There’s a phone somewhere in your room too. If you ever need help. Em one call away, okay?”
He pulled away, and I held on to him before he could leave.
“And you?” I asked.
“Yes you. You still have your mate’s situation to deal with. How are you going to navigate that in the midst of someone like your father?”
“Don’t worry about me, Sonia. I can take care of myself. Besides, I’m not the one who is going to be alpha. I doubt father would be that disappointed when he eventually found out the truth.”
“I wish I was as brave as you are,” I said, meaning every word of it
“You are far braver.”
He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead, before turning around.
I went to the bed, and sat down. I closed my eyes, not moving until the sound of his car faded away.
My life had truly just begun, and I needed to set myself straight.
I immediately set to work by unpacking. I knew if I left the decision for too long, I would end up doing something I regret.
Humming, I removed my clothes from my luggage, and transferred it to the closet.
I was so lost in my work, I didn’t hear the door open
But I felt the second the air changed. I sniffed, and it was a familiar scent.
My eyes instantly shot up to see the beautiful eyes of Ivy, staring at me
“Ivy!” I gasped, the cloth I was holding in my hand, falling to the ground..
“The one and only,” she laughed, and walked to me with her arms wide open.
I hugged her like I had missed her for a thousand centuries..
The truth was that I missed her a lot. I missed her a whole lot.
“My precious,” she said, pulling me behind so she could take a proper look at me. “How did you even grow more beautiful!”
My face turned crimson, as I giggled. “I can’t believe you’re here, Ivy. How are you here, right now!”
“Well, my idiot brother told me you said you wanted nothing to ever do with me again. I had to hear it from the horse’s mouth myself, to believe it. 21

So did you?” She asked.
I racked my brain, trying to understand what she was talking about.
“Who is your brother? And when exactly did I tell this brother of yours that I wanted nothing to do with you?”
“Oh, I forgot I never told you,” she said, and bit her lips.
Tell me what?”
“You might want to sit down for this one,” she said, and holding me by the shoulder gently pushed me to the bed.
I dropped on it, and she sat right beside me.
“Okay, I think it’s time you know the truth,” she led with..

“And the truth is?” I asked, slightly impatient.
“Ramon is my brother,” she confessed, and I found myself completely lost.
