Greg was sitting in his penthouse on the top floor of Capital City's most luxurious and futuristic skyscraper. He had just made breakfast following the teasing of his cousin with whom he was speaking via a video call.
" I imagine that I can not stick one to you?"
# Impossible... Let me savor these moments, it's not every day that we can see you like this. You want to share this moment with Sophia but she's here instead and it makes you feel so helpless which is amazing. If the other pack leaders saw you like this, they wouldn't believe their eyes. Just like me now. Soul Moon Alpha freaking out over a girl... Dude that's your soul mate stop playing cat and mouse and bring her back to your side damn it. These nocturnal escapades don't do you any good to you neither do her ... Man, you should have mated by now…"
Greg sighed, it was true what Rayan was saying but right now, he just couldn't do it.
The reason is simple, there is something he finds very strange in this story, why did these people follow Sophia's family and kill her mother? For the little he knows, no execution order has been issued by his father in the last ten years, and that's what scares him to introduce Sophia to other packs and even to his own. He doesn't know if the danger is still present even though he got rid of those who killed her mother.
It's true he is not aware of all the activities of his father before taking the head of the pack, it has not been so long since he took the head of the Soul Moon and since then, he has not ever issued an execution order.
These people not only disregarded his authority as the current pack leader, but they also touched on what they shouldn't have, which was dear to Sophia.
He was so deep in thought that he didn't hear Rayan call out to him repeatedly.
# Hey man, are you immersed in your world?
" I don't know if I should consider this a problem. Tell me, Elsa didn't tell you about an execution order against the rogue wolves?"
Rayan seemed to think about it for a moment before speaking.
# Hm when my father was still alive I thought I heard ... Well I was only fourteen at that time so it seems a bit far anyway. The leaders of all the packs in the city had gathered in a crisis meeting. It was so important that even witches and some bats joined the meeting. At that time it was your father who led the discussions, there was talk of a threat from wandering rogue wolves. It was said that they had gathered around a renegade wolf that your grandfather had beaten to become the Alpha of our pack years ago. This wolf was extremely strong and it was with difficulty that your father had beaten him... Luna of this time was the cause of his defeat. If you want the details you better ask my mom. To return to the subject, this renegade alpha had gathered many rogues who were just as renegade and dangerous as he was with the sole purpose of destroying the established order and ruling Capital City as they saw fit. A war had been fought, at that time you were abroad, still mourning Aunt Cynthia. The alliance between lycanthropes, bats, and witches succeeded in overcoming this threat and their leader was killed. But many of these rogues fled and an execution order was issued against all the rogues wolves as a preventive measure in case a similar situation happened again. Those of the wolves who did not have a pack and did not want one had to register with the alliance of which you are the president today, this is the case for Tom and many others."
Greg crossed his arms now gathering his thoughts. He was beginning to understand, this could be one of the reasons why Sophia and her mother were targeted. Being lone wolves, they must have been taken for renegades.
Especially since he has no information about Sophia's mother, she fell from the sky.
Anne Carpenter.
She's just a single mother who has blended into human society and even Sophia's father is unknown. Even dead there would have been a trace of him but nothing.
Could he be a human?
This would be the explanation, a lycanthrope who espouses with a human and carries his child is a taboo almost as serious as that of uniting with an alfe, even if the consequences are less serious for the first case.
If the human is dead and this woman has decided to live with her hidden daughter, that's understandable, but if it's known when he introduces Sophia as his soul mate, it could be a concern.
Anyway, it's not such a big deal who her father was since Sophia is an amazingly powerful alpha which makes him doubt that her father is human.
Even if her mother was an alpha, just the fact that her father was human would have resulted in Sophia being an omega or a beta not an alpha with such great strength.
He ran a hand through his hair telling himself that Sophia's past and origins are far too full of mystery and complexity.
"Is it almost time for lunch?"
# Yes, Pam went to get her... You know today is when her training starts... You will have to take care of her painful body tonight. You know that mom is merciless."
Rayan laughed as Greg smiled.
No matter what Sophia's very existence hides or the reasons for her mother's death, the main thing is that now he is there for her and will do everything to protect her.
