It didn't take too long for them to climb the high part of a mountain on a cliffside. There were red and blue tribal marks painted across in a small circle which represented their designated sparring area. Lucas settled on the right side, his back to the mountain. Leland settled on the opposite, his back turned towards the cliff. It was better for Leland to be on this side so he could keep his senses keen and sharp. He asked his Beta, "Are you ready, Lucas?" Lucas nodded and immediately dove towards…

Sophie woke up after a week and was unaware of what happened. The last thing she remembered was she was having a picnic dinner with Leland outside. She saw Leland beside her who looked worried sick and she touched his hand. "Leland?" "Sophia!" the Alpha's expression was utter relief because she still woke up. He had been so afraid that this time she wouldn't make it. However, as she gave him a weak smile, his worry was eased a little. It seemed like everything he did for the past week truly helped…

During the afternoons, Leland occupied himself with the affairs of the Blood River Pack and it was during those times that Sophie took the chance to do some light reading in his expansive library or spend time with their children. "So what do we have here?" Sophie smiled and gestured to the blackboard in the study. She drew a picture with some chalk and looked at her two babies. "We've gone with this word before, right?" Luciel was a bit distracted by the book in front of him, while Jan paid attention…

< Three Months Later > Time passed quickly for the Salazar family and before Sophie knew it, she and her family settled down into a nice and comfortable routine. Even though Sophie's throat was a little dry and she had a headache when she woke up, she looked up to see Leland watching over her with a loving look on his face. "Good morning, Sophia." Leland greeted her. It eased the uncomfortable feeling a little. "Are you lycans really nocturnal?" Sophie rubbed her eyes and playfully glared at him. "I…

"Our blacksmith, Alpha?" Lucas blinked and looked up at the man with confusion. What did their Alpha need from someone who made armors, weapons, and other metal items? "Do I need to repeat myself, Lucas?" "Of course not, Alpha. I will summon our best blacksmith right away. Shall I send him here at the door or at the study?" The Beta asked. Leland glanced once again over his shoulder. His mate was still fast asleep, but the Alpha didn't want to let his mate out of his sight if he had a choice. "Summon…

"Thank you for catching me," Sophie said, but it didn't ease the worry that flooded her husband's chest. It was already six weeks after the poisoning and miscarriage and it still seemed to be affecting her. Leland looked at his mate with concern and immediately took Sophie into the castle's main foyer. The doors immediately opened up by the remaining members of the Blood Pack that stayed back. "Alpha!" Leland walked past them immediately. Luciel and Jan both waded after their parents and noticed the…

"Very well," Leland agreed with Sophie's request. He understood what his mate wanted. He did feel jealous when they stepped inside this hut because the memory returned to him as well. He remembered seeing Sophie giggling and laughing freely with Nicholas when they returned from the forest. Sophie looked so happy around Nicholas and she chattered a lot. The sight filled him with so much jealousy when he saw them from the distance. For as long as Leland could remember, Sophie had never been that chatty…

As he promised, Leland took Sophie on a detour and visited her old home in Blackwoods before they continued the journey to Frisia. Seeing the rundown hut in the middle of nowhere brought Sophie to tears again. Of all places she had ever stayed in, it was the shabbiest. However, this was also the place she loved the most. It brought her so much love and good memories. Beautiful memories of her childhood with her parents and Lee, and the short wonderful memories she had with Nicholas. "This place is…

After Anheim, the small group moved slower and made the journey become more comfortable. Sophie really appreciated what her husband did. But when she thanked him for it, he pretended he didn't know what she was talking about. Leland still wasn't used to being appreciated. He thought everything he did was common sense and out of necessity. He didn't see the reason for them to be acknowledged. "Are you thirsty?" He changed the subject. "You look cold. Maybe a little wine can help." Sophie smiled faintly…

Both went silent after they talked about the sons they lost. Even though Leland and Sophie understood they needed to talk about them in order to process their grief, it didn't make things easier or better. It only happened not long ago. So, the wounds were still quite fresh. None of them say another word. Sophie didn't want to make the atmosphere turn more somber than it already was, decided to focus her attention on the little ones who started showing signs of hunger. Leland nodded at her and took out a…
