Ever since Sophia had left, Chase had turned a lot quieter, only keeping to himself and when his father started pressuring him to mate- as the pack desperately needed a Luna, he finally mated and marked Nicole.
He seemed so depressed and hollow, even after his mating, which was very unlike him. But now that Nicole is pregnant, after a lot of persuading from his part, he seems to be finally coming out his shell more. Like today, he came up to us and actually started joking around, which he hadn't done it years now. I was happy for him.
I am a lot happier now that I had found my mate. I met Rebecca about a year ago and she is now the Beta Female. I first saw her when she moved here from New York, and I was instantly in love with her. If Sophia was here, they would've been best friends, I know that for sure.
Becca doesn't know who Sophia is and has never asked me, but I know she wants to. I don't want her to know who Sophia is because then she'll ask where she is and if she does, we have to answer her truthfully, then she would want to know why she left and why. And I know that Becca would leave me if she found out what we did to Sophia, who is my own flesh and blood. And I couldn't bear the thought of her leaving me.
My parents are worse than ever now. My mother is extremely sick as her wolf is dying. If any werewolf's wolf die, the human part automatically dies as well, as your wolf dying is like your soul being ripped out.
My dad is devastated by this and nowadays, he's just with my mum, holding her hand and talking to her while she is resting on the bed. After the doctor told us that she hasn't got much time left, dad is making more effort to spend as much time with her as possible to make up for all those years of being separated. He is so depressed, but I know mom is trying her best to make him feel better.
"So are you coming or what?!" Jace asked again, slightly irritated now, which annoyed me as I was a higher-ranked werewolf than he was, thus he should've respected me. Although, I didn't say anything, not wanting to cause a dispute.
I nodded and stood up from the bed and followed him out the door. I took one last, longing look at Sophia's room, her scent completely gone now, and closed the door silently before locking it.
I dropped my key in my pocket and we both made our way down to the living room where all my friends were, including Chase and Nicole.
Once I was down the stairs, I noticed Chase sitting on the sofa with a pregnant Nicole, who had a scowl on her face while Chase had a small smile on his face, looking down at her stomach. Two totally different people, sometimes I wonder how they ended up together.
