Sophia’s POV
.
Each and every single second was heavy for everyone to pass. I couldn’t help but wonder who would be the next target of our enemy?
Until now, I used to feel that there could be a chance that dad and my brothers did wrong by killing every member of their pack, thinking there could be innocent werewolves too who died that night but now, I felt nothing but hatred for those beasts. I think dad did right by genociding the whole pack; I wish he could have killed that dog too.
I hadn’t seen that dog, but I was sure, but I was sure that he was nothing but heartless and cruel for sure? And how could someone be like that?
“Sleep, Sophia.”, Brandon’s voice rang in my ear. He was trying his best to make me sleep, but I couldn’t. From marriage till now, for the first time, I was in his arms, and Caroline was with Martha in another room. Immediately I sat on the bed when I heard the sound of the vehicle in the middle of the middle.
There was no way Oliver could reach here this soon, so they must be my other brothers.
“What happened?”
“I think they are here.”, I muttered and left the bed, walking toward the door. I left the room and prayed in my mind that war shouldn’t get started between my family members.
“You… “Oscar shouted, looking at dad and walking toward him angrily. In no time, he grabbed dad’s collar. “This all is happening because of you. I told you that you wouldn’t be able to protect my mother.”, he shouted. Before I could reach near him, a woman reached near him, grabbing his arms.
“Oscar, please!!”, She said and then looked at me. “Not at this moment. Sophia is here.”, She added, and that was when Oscar’s eyes landed on me and then someone behind me, who would be Brandon for sure. He removed his hand from dad’s collar but kept glaring at dad, shifting his eyes from me to him.
“I was successful in protecting her until she decided to leave the house without protection.”, Dad explained.
“Give that excuse to yourself, Ethan. Mom was a well-trained hunter; I’m not going to buy the lie that someone killed her just like that. Whoever has done this to her would surely be close to her. And to be honest, you were capable of protecting no one; that was why you got Sophia married to Brandon because you knew that you wouldn’t be able to protect her.”, Oscar snapped at dad.
Why was he talking to dad in that way?
I reached near Oscar so that I could request him not to talk to dad in that way. Seeing me coming close to Oscar, that woman had held his arms and moved away, and the moment she did that, I hugged him because I knew that he wouldn’t say, but he was in pain too.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
I felt Oscar hugging me back and kissing my hair. “Please don’t fight.”, I requested.
“Owen!! Take all the necessary samples so that we can find out what kind of werewolf killed her.”
“Yes, Brother.”
“You can do that?” John asked in surprise.
“I can do a lot more than that.”, Owen replied. “But saving your family members is not responsibility. Oliver and Sophia are our responsibility. That is it.”
“Brother Owen!!” I looked a pleading look to my other brother, who just huffed. I observed they both had a woman beside them. I believe they were either their girlfriends or wives. The chances of the latter option were more because they had engagement rings. To change the environment, I couldn’t help but ask, “They are?”, Looking at both the women.
“Our wives. Laila.”, the one who was trying to handle Oscar. “And Percy. Your sister-in-law.”, the one who was standing near Owen. I smiled sadly at them. I never knew they got married, but then I didn’t know a lot of things, so I couldn’t complain about it, right?
But I definitely didn’t want to meet them in this situation. I walked toward Laila and hugged her. She, too, hugged me back, and after a while, I felt someone else hugging me too. I looked and found it was Persy.

The following day, both my sister in laws was trying their best to cheer me up when all the men were busy with the preparation of the funeral.
“So, tell me about your love life.”
“There is NO love between Brandon and me. Not until now.”, I responded.
“Are you sure? I mean, I saw him kept checking on you from time to time.”, Persy asked in surprise. “I can see that he definitely loves you.”, She added.
Only if she knew that there could never be a LOVE thing between us. NEVER.
“Why don’t you two tell me your love story? How did you tame my brothers? And Owen is walking fireball; I wonder how did you manage your life with him?”
“Their love story was more like a comedy story.”, Laila said.
“How is that?” I asked in confusion.
“Because she was interested in another man, while Owen was interested in my younger sister, but her crush and my sister used to love each other. So, both Owen and she shook their hand together to create problems between them and break their relationship and then ended up falling for each other.” Laila laughed, making fun of Percy, who was making faces.
“Hahaha!! Very funny.”, Percy muttered. “And your love story… Oscar had almost killed you.”, She reminded.
“Almost killed you?” I asked in surprise.
“Actually, she was sent by Oscar’s enemy in his life, and they had planned to kill Oscar because they knew Oscar had fallen in love with Laila, but in the end, Laila changed the plan because, at that time, she too started loving Oscar. But her luck was not great; instead of savior, she was framed as the enemy, and Oscar almost killed her because of misunderstanding.”
“Oh!”, I muttered. “I hope everything is fine now between you two?”
“Yes! Yes! Don’t worry about that. That was our past. It has been five years since we married.”, Laila said with a smile. “Now, only Oliver is unmarried in our family. Let’s see what type of girl he is going to bring into our small family.”
I wanted to remind them that even though John was unmarried but then just like my brothers, my sister in laws was not interested in considering someone else as a family who was not blood-related.
“He is already in love with his boss’s daughter and also has asked her to be his girlfriend.”, I told them.
“Really?”
“Yes!! I met that girl once in a restaurant. She is beautiful and sexy, but then that girl is way better than my brother in many ways, whether it is by looks, or by money or knowledge, or other things. I’m not sure if she would say YES or him or not. On the top, her ex-husband is being an ass in Oliver’s life.”
“Ex-husband?”
“Hmm. She had a bad past. Oliver didn’t give the detail, but she also has a son with her Ex-husband. So, let’s see whom she chooses, the same sick Ex-husband or my brother, who will love her unconditionally.”, I said, shrugging my shoulder, and at the same time, we heard the horn of the vehicle. “It seems like even Oliver is here.”, I added and looked outside the window and saw Oliver hopping out of the cab, which was looking like a complete mess.
