Sophia’s POV
.
“Yes! That’s why I have called you. Owen already had the sample of the wolf’s saliva that had killed mom, which was found near mom’s body, and now he also had the sample of the wolf’s hair that he found near John’s body.”
“Okay. Now what?” I asked, getting impatient. He didn’t have to give me those unnecessary details because I already knew that Owen was great at forensic work.
“And the sample is matched.”, Oliver stated.
Did Brandon?
No, he didn’t have a wolf, so he couldn’t do this on his own. Either he ordered someone to do this, or someone from his werewolves gang did this without his knowledge. Could Iris do this?
“Oscar told me that he would end this game with a week.”
My heart started pounding loudly hearing it.
“What is he going to do?”
“I don’t know. He doesn’t share that part with me but isn’t it obvious that he will kill that fucking bastard who killed our mother. Now he will come to know that he had messed with the wrong person this time.”, Oliver said, and with his every word, my heart was shrinking in pain. “I will let you know when our enemy will be dead. Bye.”
“Bye.”

I started pacing around in my room in tension. Even though the AC of the room was ON, I was sweating badly. I looked for my BP tablet and quickly ate it.

‘Just don’t.’
‘But what if… what if they will….’
‘No. No. No. No. That won’t happen.’
I picked up my phone and dialed Laila’s number (Oscar’s wife) because I didn’t have Oscar’s number. He rarely shares his number with anyone, even on my birthday, and he used to wish me on the conference call.
“Hello, Laila.”
“Hey, Sophia, How are you, your adopted daughter and Brandon?”, She said cheerfully.
“I’m fine. And even Caro and Brandon are doing great.”, I replied, ignoring the fact that she said Caroline as ‘Adopted daughter’ well, that was what everyone thought because I told them the same.
“Yes, caro, Caroline, sorry, I had forgotten her name.”
“It’s fine. Just call ‘adopted.’ She is like my own.”
“I’m sorry about that too. I will keep it in mind.”, She apologized immediately.
‘Who is on the call?’ I heard someone’s voice beside her, which I believe was Oscar.
“It’s Sophia. Here, talk with your sister.”, She said, and I couldn’t imagine Oscar’s reluctance before he finally spoke.
“Sophie”
“How are you, Brother?”
“Good. And you?”
“I’m great. I came to know from Oli that you’re planning to….”
“That’s not your area to be concerned about, Sophie. Moreover, phone calls can be tapped. Knowing that our enemy is smart, better stay away from all these things.”, he said strictly, cutting me in between. I wish I could tell him that it was indeed my concern because Brandon’s life was related to it, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t tell him his secret because what if I accidentally ended up telling the wrong person about it, and the point he mentioned could be true. There could be a chance that my phone calls would have been getting tapped by Brandon.
“Oh, okay. I want to know something else from you.”
“I’m listening.”
“Why do you and Owen never get along with dad?” I asked, and immediately he went silent.
“How are Brandon and Catherine?”
“Her name is Caroline, not Catherine.”, I corrected him before continuing, “But as for now, don’t try t change the topic. I know that you speak the truth in 99% of the cases and change the topic when you neither want to tell the truth or lie to anyone.”
“______”, Oscar remained silent.
“Please tell me the truth, brother. You all have hidden everything from me all my life. Now that I want to know anything, please don’t hide it from me.”
“I don’t want you to hate your father, Sophie.”
His words started giving me vibes that whatever Bruce told me was true.
“I still want to know the truth.”, I said with lots of courage. I didn’t know what was waiting for me, but it was definitely not a piece of good news.
“Your father and your late brothers were sick and cruel humans. Sometimes we hunters torture or behave really cruel toward other supernatural creatures. That’s a part of the job, and I’m not ashamed of it because that’s how things work. But never ever in our life, we have used woman or children or innocent creature to torture them.”
“All supernatural creatures are paired with their soulmate. Your father had a habit of targeting the female creatures to torture her male more, and if that not used to be enough then sometimes he used to … umm..”
“Rape them?” I asked ith difficulty when he wasn’t able to finish his sentence.
“And what made me hate him more that he didn’t even think this thing as wrong. Not once he used to do this in all this war. When he left the hunting after Oliver’s incident, his so-called sons started following his footsteps, not that they didn’t use to do this before even after Ethan, they kept doing this sick activity.”
