Chapter 62

Sophia’s POV

Inside Derick’s office, I voiced my thoughts to him, questioning the reason behind Lucas’s sudden appearance after betraying the pack, the memory of his scent outside Mr. Sylvester’s building still fresh enough to unsettle me.

Derick pondered for a moment, his brows furrowing in deep thought. “Perhaps Miranda sent him,” he speculated, but I quickly interjected, reminding Derick of Blake’s accusations from the previous day. “Blake accused you of kidnapping Miranda, remember? Maybe Lucas suspects us of the same,” I suggested.

Derick’s expression hardened, his eyes burning with anger. He dismissed the accusations with a wave of his hand. “I don’t give a damn about their baseless accusations or what they think,” he declared. “All I know is that if I ever lay eyes on Lucas again, he won’t escape unscathed.”
