The Heart Of The Beast The Alpha's Pawn (Sonia and Ramon) novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189

SONIA’S POV

My father was standing in the garden when I walked up to him.

Thad spent another night barely sleeping

At dawn when I was actually supposed to sleep, Lydia had told me my father wanted to see me

I could only be glad I wasn’t disturbed after I ran out of the dining hall last night.

My father I knew before I

the pack would definitely have given me an earful about my behavior

Perhaps, he was getting old and weaker.

“Father.“1 cleared my throat, standing beside him.

“Sonia,” he replied, and gave me a smile.

I was surprised by his gentility. But I guess it was to be expected.

“Walk with me?” He asked, and 1 nodded.

We began to walk through the gardens. I couldn’t help but notice I was coming out more in the past two days, than my many years in the pack.

I would usually have to jump through hoops, or wait till night time before I could escape my room

‘s on your mind?” He asked out of nowhere.

My eyes were looking at a bird, who looked like it was staring back at me.

It chirped twice, then flew above the trees, and very far away.

I blinked. It was a beautiful bird. And I felt reassured by it.

“Nothing.” I replied more confidently.

“That’s not true,” he said. “Ever since you returned to the pack, I’ve been observing you. You seem distant. You barely even eat, I don’t want to force you, so I decided to give you some well deserved space. But you’re not meeting me halfway, Sonia,” he said in a disappointed tone.

I felt sorry for disappointing him. It was something I never wanted to do. Unfortunately, I just couldn’t help myself

It was taking me longer than expected to readjust to life back at silverpaw. Way longer than expected.

“Hey, you’re lost again. Your mind is distant, Sonia. Do you want to tell me something? Are you bothered?”

“Father, I just feel weird, that’s all,” I replied.

“Well, I think I may just have a cure for that,” he said, as she came to an abrupt stop in front of a fountain.

I used to sneak here with Freya, and just run around the water.

The air was crisp, and the ambience was just embracing

Somehow, it even reminded me of my mother, despite not knowing what the connection was supposed to be

“It got even more beautiful,” I whispered, as I stared tears eyed at the fountain.

Your mother loved it too.”

I whipped my head to his direction the instant he said that.

My father never talked about my mother. Not to me. But here he was, bringing her up first, even before I got the chance to tie my affinity for this place to her.

Chapter 189

No wonder I had always felt peace, and immense joy every time I visited.

Her spirit was watching over me for sure.

“she did “Lasked

“Absolutely. She would drag me here all the time. When she was pregnant with you. She would make me watch the

sunset with her, standing here.

he said.

1 could hear the distress in his voice. It was real, raw pain.

“Father! Do you miss h

miss her?” I asked.

“Everyday. And that’s why I want you to be happy. You look so much like her, Sonia. Do you know the torture I went through every time I thought of the maltreatment you’d be suffering in the hands of Ramont One too many times, I almost lost my mind with worry,” he said.

“But I’m fine, father. I really It wasn’t something I couldn’t endure.”

I wished we could go back to talking about my mother.

How we had gone from that to Ramon, didn’t sit well with my spirit.

“If you’re really fine, then why is your wolf missing” He dropped the bomb, and my heart skipped a beat.

You–you noticed I asked.

“You’re my daughter, of course I noticed. I didn’t want to ask until you were comfortable.”

“Father, it’s nothing”

“It’s not nothing. Sonia! What happened to you?!”

I flinched as he raised his voice, and shifted back

He wasn’t going to strike me or anything, but I didn’t want to take the chance

“What happened, Sonia?” He asked with a softer voice.

can.”

“I can explain. I really can

“Then explain”

I cleared my throat, then decided to narrate the events of the full moon.

“That bastard didn’t take care of you. Cade says you’re mates?

Well b

how come he left you to die?” He screamed the second I was done narrating. “He didn’t know, father. He really didn’t. I told you I was in his room, and after 1 left, that’s when it happened. Only that I can’t remember anything that happened”

“That’s because he tried to hurt you, alright! That bastard did this?”

“No father!” I screamed at him in frustration
