*** After studying with Katherine for several days, Sophie showed great progress. She didn't think that she would be able to pick up a book again after she left the life behind her in Hastings and no longer attended Cawden Academy to go back to Hauntingen. Yet here she was with an opportunity to learn. "Did I record this correctly?" Sophie showed the ledger to Katherine who gave her an approving nod. "Yes, you've done them all so well, Sophie. You're a fast learner as usual." Katherine laughed. "I think…

Note: Thank you so much, Maude Fluckiger, for gifting a gachaphone to this book yesterday. Your super gift helped this book reach so much more audience, with 400 people adding this book to their collection immediately. Thank youuuu! xx . . ______________________ There were things that she had learned over the years and one of them was the ability to become demure and silent when it was to her benefit. As a young child, Sophie was never afraid to say or do what she wanted. Sophie was outspoken,…

Note: Thank you Southernstar for gifting a castle to this book earlier today! It helped this book reach more audiences because of the new gift feature system. I am so grateful. xx . . ______________________ "This is…" Sophie sighed aloud. "The next time that Duke Romanov is here, I will go and meet him. I cannot keep staying here under his roof as a guest, I am not important enough for this." It was an explicit order that Sophie was to live comfortably inside of the castle and if she were to even…

Elsewhere in the castle of the late Lord Ferdinand, an older pack member, one of the elders who swore loyalty to the Alpha's mother, hid away from Leland and the rest of his pack. He would take a small mirror out of his pocket and activate the magic within it. He was hiding properly to ensure that no other lycan would hear this meeting. The beautiful face of a woman would appear and it would turn out to be Leland's mother. She had a narrow face and very thin lips. At a glance, she would remind people of…

Sophie only realized she was now staying in the castle where Baron Ferdinand used to reside after she asked Dinah to help show her around the castle. She recognized the terrace where she and Nicholas had tea together once and suddenly everything started to fall into place. Sophie felt her heart ache when the realization hit her. Memories of Nicholas and her spending time on that terrace became painful and she immediately asked Dinah to go back to her room. "You look unwell, Sophie. Do you need me to get…

Sophie batted her eyes when she heard the duke's blunt words uttered in such a casual tone. She didn't know him well enough to understand if he was just teasing her or if he was serious. If he was indeed interested in her… it wouldn't be the first time. How should Sophie respond to him then? "Your grace, you have a nice sense of humor…" Finally, Sophie decided to smile so sweetly and speak tactfully. "I am just a lowly peasant. I am honored to be offered a job here and I am looking forward to doing…

Sophie was stunned at this sudden question. She was not sure how to answer him. Why did he sound... jealous? "I was thinking of other things, my lord," Sophie finally replied as calmly as possible. She was on a stranger's turf and she didn't even know where she was right now. She only knew that she was in a castle, but which castle? Where was this place located? If she needed to run away, in case the man started showing his bad side, then Sophie must know where she was in the first place. "I am sorry…

It was such a quiet and cold morning. She wrapped the new coat that was provided for her in the closet of her room and draped an extra layer over her back with a thick wool scarf. She thought she looked like a chubby loaf of bread in these wrappings, and she still felt the cold. However, Lord Ariam was still wearing only his thin shirt over his black pants. He dressed like it was summer. For a moment, Sophie was stunned. She wanted to ask if he didn't feel the cold, but decided against it because she…

After some time, a knock would start on her door and Sophie nearly jumped in surprise. She forgot that Duke Romanov did mention that someone would arrive to help her. "C-come in?" She wondered who would come to her chamber this early. One of the members of the pack, Dinah, walked in and bowed her head to Sophie. She greeted Sophie respectfully. "Good morning, Luna—Ahem, Miss, I have come here to help assist you in things that you may need. Would you like me to draw a bath?" "Huh? You don't need to do…

Sophie was really grateful and was tempted because she didn't know what she was going to do once she got back at Hauntingen. She could sell the jewels, but then she would have to work alone and try to make a living there all by herself. Compared to staying here in the castle with other people, Sophie might be able to have friends and was actually close to a good doctor and midwife when she gave birth. However, Sophie was still a lycan and she didn't know if it would affect the birth. Also… how would…
