Chapter 8 SONIAS POV Hey , Im Ivy , the girl said , and stretched out her hands to me .
She had offered me a hand first .
It may sound dramatic , but out of all the people Ive met so far in this pack , she was the only person that had treated me with an ounce of kindness .
I was touched beyond words .
Thankfully , she was also around my age .
However , my happy thoughts didnt last for too long before the negative ones arrived .
A warning voice was projected into my head .
It reminded me of Freya , and how she had betrayed me .
It was right .
I couldnt afford to be too trusting of anyone .
A bitter lesson I had learnt in the most wicked way .
Im Sonia .
I said .
I know , she replied , dropping her hands when it was obvious I wasnt going to be shaking it .
It was better for her to hate me now , than for me to trust her and she ended up betraying me .
After blatantly refusing to shake her , I was quite certain I was about to see her true colors .
I took a deep breath , and waited for her to pounce on me with her words .
To my surprise , her smile only broadened .
You must want to take a shower , she said .
Aha ! There it was .
The subtle insult .
Insinuating I stink .
I mean I did stink , but it was also her way of insulting me for not accepting her handshake .
I knew not to hav have trusted her .
People were too fickle .
If you dont suck up to them , they become your enemy Even when you do suck up to them , or are actually nice to them , they still find a way to betray you .
It was best to not pay attention to anyone other than yourself .
An advice I knew I could never have listened to even if someone were to tell me before .
I was too empathetic to do that .
She moved closer to me when I didnt respond , and I held my breath in readiness for her hitting me .
Perhaps , Alpha Ramon thought it would be too brutal for me if he hit me for challenging him and also throwing paint at him .
Maybe he sent this Ivy girl to help him do his dirty job .
i Either way , I was ready to take in whatever she was going to do to me .
Dont be scared , she whispered when she was merely breaths away from me .
I dont want to scare you away .
Alpha Ramon said I should take you to the river so you can have your bath there .
But the river is usually frequented by those obnoxious wolf sentinels , she lowered her voice some more , and pushed her mouth into my ears .
They would openly leer at you .
Trust me , you dont want that .
So what were going to do instead is that youll follow me to my room , and use my bathroom How does that sound ? She took a step back , giving me enough space to breathe again .
What ?! I asked , totally dumbfounded .
Oh my ! Wasnt I loud enough ? Do you want me to repeat myself ? She asked in a surprisingly kind tone .
625 PM 다다 , Chapter S Wait a minute , maybe I have misunderstood everything shes said and done .
She may actually be kind to me .
Or shes trying to get you into trouble ! That voice returned .
Think about it .
Alpha Ramon wants you to bathe in the river .
If you bathe in her bathroom and he finds out you disobeyed his orders , do you know the kind of trouble youd be in ? I nodded my head , in communication with the voice .
It was right after all .
I couldnt follow these girls suggestions .
She was just trying to get me in trouble .
Im sorry , but Ill pass .
I dont want to get in trouble with your alpha .
If he wants me to bathe in the river , then thats where Ill have my bath She bobbed her head after a few seconds of staring at me with a strange expression in her eyes .
Well if you insist , she said She turned , and I followed behind her I braced myself for the piercing gazes of the wolves of the bloodmoon pack as I followed behind her.
to their stares .
They were always staring .
Openly , and mockingly .
I wasnt sure yet if I could ever get used to I began to get hopeful when we didnt come in contact with another soul as we followed a bushy part .
I was beginning to realize the pack was filled with forests , and trees .
It would be impossible to escape without in depth knowledge of the paths .
You dont like to talk , do you ? She asked , interrupting the comfortable silence I had worn around me as a shield , And you like to talk too much , dont you ? I said in my mind .
In the same breath I chide myself for being too hostile to the girl , when she was only trying to make conversation .
Yes , I simply said .
She didnt bother to say anything again .
We took a turn , and I saw some buildings lined up in the shape of a moon .
I saw her body language change .
She went from being rigid after I basically her that I didnt like to talk too much , to smiling again .
Are we close to the river now ? I asked her .
She whipped her head around , surprised that I was talking to her .
to I couldnt fault her though .
I was the one who told her that I didnt like to talk too much .
Not really .
I figured you would need some soap to help you cleanse your body properly .
We are headed to the servants quarters .
Im going to my room to bring some soap for you .
Hope you dont mind that ? Every time I tried to avoid some sort of relationship with her , she ended up saying such nice things to me .
I didnt know if she had some humiliation kink , or she was just genuinely nice .
Either way , I couldnt help myself anymore .
I was beginning to open up to her .
It wouldnt be bad to trust somebody , or have somebody in my corner , especially in a place like this where everyone seemed to be against me .
I dont .
I said , and smiled , just to show her my sincerity .
You have a really pretty smile .
I know you dont have much to smile about .
But I think that you should , regardless .
You would find it is better to smile in the face of your troubles , than to frown , and end up getting wrinkles .

Despite my initial determination not to draw close to her , I found myself smiling .
Im sorry for not shaking your hands before .
I think youre a genuinely kind person .
6:25 PM c c .
Chapter 8 She suddenly stopped and turned to me .
Just like before , she drew closer to me , and placed her mouth in my ears .
Im going to say this just once to you , because the walls , trees , even the sky and the ground have ears .
I need you to listen to me .
In this Pack you have to put on a tough skin if you want to survive , I know it seems impossible right now , but you will succeed in the end .
Dont ask me how I know .
I just know .
Her words carried an ominousness , that had me clutching invisible pearls , when she pulled away from me .
