Chapter 55
Sophia’s POV
I could understand that he mightn’t have Oscar and Owen’s numbers with him, but why didn’t he share this news with Oliver?
When I saw Mom’s dead body, I quickly hid my face in Brandon’s chest.
She looked beyond recognition, just like Levi.
Her heart was ripped from her body.
I couldn’t imagine how someone could be this cruel.
At that same time, Mom received Oliver’s call, but I received the call but couldn’t tell him about it.
Thanks to Brandon, he grabbed Mom’s phone from me and informed him about Mom’s death.
“Let’s start p>
“What ‘start’, Ethan?
” Brandon’s dad asked, cutting my dad in between.
“You can’t start the funeral without Lucia’s son’s presence.
They need to meet their mother for the last time.
”, Brandon’s dad added.
“Oliver will take more than one day to reach here because he is out of the country.
And I have no way to contact Oscar and Owen.
Their number is saved in Lucia’s phone, and unfortunately, I don’t know her password.
“But dad, I think Logan’s dad is right.
We should wait for Brother Oscar and Brother Owen.
And I’m sure that Oliver would have told them about Mom’s death.
How about we wait for them till tomorrow morning?
“I agree with Sophia, dad.
Now, Mom is not between us to control them; who knows how would they react after finding that we didn’t wait for them?
” John said.
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 p>
”, 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.
I felt Oscar hugging me back and kissing my hair.
“Please don’t fight.
”, I requested.
“Owen p>
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 p>
” 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.
