Asher: After Sophia's delusional outburst, she locked herself up in her bedroom and wasn’t seen for the rest of the day, which was a goddamn relief. I contemplated for a while how it was even possible for one she-wolf to overpower two of what Sophia claimed were the best warriors her father had. That was impossible, so either Sophia had gone insane or, as usual, she was trying to discredit Aphrodite in my presence, which, to be realistic, was impossible because she was already perfect in my eyes. The idea that Aphrodite could be capable of such violence was absurd, yet the image of Sophia's terrified face haunted me. It was almost time for my scheduled meeting with Hilda. If I were being honest, I hated the thought of seeing the vermin who tried to kill my mate without taking action.
