475 Three Years Later

Sophie smiled when she heard Nicholas' words. She could see how much the man doted on her children, even ones that were not his. She felt grateful for his graciousness for accepting them all and not even making any difference in how he treated the children.

How long had Leland gone? Sometimes, Sophie tried to ask Max to find news about Leland - to see if he heard anything from among the lycan communities. There was nothing.

She didn't want to ask Nicholas because she was embarrassed. Since she knew how he felt about her, Sophie wanted to respect his feelings by not discussing another man with him. While on Nicholas' side, he didn't want to bring up the topic of Leland whenever he was with Sophie because he didn't want her to feel more hurt than she already did.
