Chapter: New Mother Screaming vibrated threw the halls as I pushed. "One more push and you'll be able to rest." A redheaded nurse said to me as I crushed her hand in mine. "I can't I'm too tired!" I cried, tears rolling down my face. "Scarlett you need to push now!" the doctor said from between my legs. I breathed in and pushed as hard as I could. As a northern scream passed from my lips I heard small cries. looking down I saw a small baby in the doctor's arms. I started crying harder looking at the small perfect baby. "I did it Shane I did it for us." I whisper to myself before clearing my throat. The doctor looked at Deacon and Grace who I didn't realize were standing in the doorway. Grace looked like she was going to take my child and run."Give me my child now!" I shouted with more power than I realized causing the baby to start crying. Deacon nodded at the doctor who laid my baby on my bare chest. I wrapped my hands around my baby and stroked its back. "Congratulations on your baby girl." th

Chapter: GraceMy eyes shot open causing me pain from the brightness of the room. I squinted and blinked trying to center myself. My hands shot to my very pregnant belly and rubbed while I sighed in relief."It was just a dream." I mumbled."What was that dear?" A female voice caused me to jump and look towards her."I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you. Deacon said you might want to talk when you woke up. I was just bringing you these so this room didn't feel so empty." She said as she sat a vase of pink and blue roses next to the bed.I stared at this woman who claimed to be my mother with wonder and slight anger. If she hadn't made up this situation of being my mother I would be at home with my true family. My husband and helping to rule my kingdom. She sighed feeling my stare and turned to look me in the eye. Her eyes were strikingly similar to mine. Her hair fell in a strangely familiar way. She looked sad while sitting in the chair next to me, almost tired.

Chapter: ScarlettShane's POVStanding in the meeting room the distinct smell of blood kissed my nose. I froze, my head shooting up eyes wide I could tell everyone in the room could smell it too. Noone was breathing. Noone made a move until we heard the screams then everyone burst out of the room through the castle and over the ground towards the cottage. Once we arrived it was a horrible scene. Blood covered the drive and the broken bloody bodies of the guards lay in front of the door."SCARLETT?!" I screamed into the cottage as I slipped on blood running inside.I cleared the whole place within a minute but there was noone inside."Mom?" I heard Chris say from outside and exited the cottage to see Scarlett's family surrounding her mother laying on the ground next to one of the trees.I mindlinked a doctor to come and tend to her as I turned to Jamie who was kneeling next to one of the dead guards."This was him. We can't let he

Chapter: The AftermathWaking in a bright white room made me panic and reach for my stomach. I was breathing heavy panicking about the baby. When I realised everything was normal, or as normal as it could be. I looked around the hospital room slowly only stopping when my eyes fell on Deacon sleeping in a chair in the corner of the room."How long have I been here?" I said startling him awake."Scarlett? You're awake." He said yawning."How long?" I said more aggressive." You've been sleeping since yesterday morning. It's now." He said looking down at the golden watch on his wrist. "8pm."I looked at him through squinted eyes remembering what happened the morning before."I want answers!" I said.He nodded sitting up and rubbing his hands together."Listen this isn't." He started but I cut him off."No! I want real answers. Why did your mother say those things to me? Why did you kidnap me and bring me here? Is it about terriorty? A ranso

Chapter: New familyStanding stunned looking between this woman and Deacon. He rushed into the room grabbing her arm, this caused me to move forward toward them and growl."What do you mean mom?" I half asked half screamed all the emotions from last night bubbling up."We will discuss this later." Deacon said through gritted teeth before dragging the woman who looked just like me out of the room.I huffed and sat on the bed looking around the room in daylight. The dark purple was a beautiful color and made the room look very royal. I saw a set of clothes laid out on a dresser I hadn't noticed last night. I approached and saw it was a sundress that was yellow with delicate pink flowers lining the hems. I suddenly realized I had slept in my clothes and headed into the adjoining bathroom to shower.I dressed and left the room after I felt not so stale. Trying to find my way into a dining room, study or the front door I walked for at least 20 minutes down long grand

Chapter: King of the RoguesAfter driving for hours my eyes were puffy and red. My throat was so dry and sore from crying and yet all I could do was hold my stomach protectively and silently sob. It was after we had passed a horrific battle at our northern border and entered the rogue nation when the driver finally slowed down and drove normally. He didn't speak much but kept glancing in the rear vision mirror looking at me with what I assumed was pity. He had offered me a bottle of water but I was not going to drink it! We had been driving for hours when I cracked and finally took a sip. My throat screamed in happiness when it was finally quenched. However then another problem arouse. I had to use the bathroom. "I need you to stop or I'm going to make a mess back here." I crocked out in my now horse voice. He looked at me again before speaking for the first time. "We will be there in less than 30 minutes can you wait?" His voice was oddly soft.

Chapter: Shocking newsMy alarm woke me up suddenly. I sat up with a jolt rubbing my eyes. 6am was too early for me anytime but especially recently I've been feeling exhausted. Groaning I rolled out of bed and headed for a shower.After the warm shower I stood by the mirror and looked at the brusing from the interaction with my brother yesterday. Sighing I pulled on a long sleeve blouse. I headed out the door felling too sick for breakfast and walked to work."Hey you! Are you ready for today?" Scarlett said too cheerful for this early in the morning.I smiled and nodded stepping past her and dropping my handbag. I re-emerged and stood beside her to check up in the rooms for the Alphas and their guests. I saw the cleaners had completed 7 out of the 10 rooms and headed up to help finish the last 3.Midway up the staircase I started seeing spots and began breathing heavy. I sat down on the stairs trying to steady my breathing when Steve, one of the new emp

Chapter: New LifeFour months into living in Bedrock and I have friends, a job and a small but lovely apartment above Diablo's. My work and living situation mixed when Scarlett walked me home one night and she met Angel and they became fast friends too. The three of us hang out a lot either at Diablo's after Scarlett and I finish or going out and doing things around the city. In the past few months I keep running into AJ and in the last 3 encounters I started to think he was having me followed since I was with Angel and Scarlett but each time we were doing different activities. One was a bowling night on the other side of the city. One was a karaoke night where Angel drank far too much and the latest one was a roller blading day on a Saturday. "Are you two ready for tomorrow?" Gary's question pulled me out of my head. "Sure are Sir." Scarlett responded chirpy as ever. He nodded and handed her a piece of paper. She was excited that we were hosting 4 local packs whil

Chapter: BrothersI stood frozen for a minute thinking about how he looked similar but different to Bruce. This stranger was so nice and worked in a hospital compared to his younger brother who assaulted me only yesterday. I felt sick instantly and moved quickly in the opposite direction AJ went and away from the business he pointed out.Walking until it became dark I finally found a sleazy looking motel and went in. My first red flag should have been the extremely dirty clerk who asked if I was renting by the hour, over night or weekly. When I said weekly he had looked me up and down making me feel like prey. I paid in cash and gave a fake name after getting the address from him to put on my job application. I went up to my room on the 4th floor. It wasn't as big, clean or nice as Kats place was but it would do until I started getting a fulltime income.I showered and sat on the bed thinking about how I could run into Bruce's older brother. I knew he had 2 older brothers. Twins t

Chapter: UsedStanding in the graveyard a single tear rolled down my cheek. Looking at the plain headstone my family chose for my grandmother's grave was pitiful but it was somewhere I could visit.It has been a year to the day my Nana died and I visit her almost every week. I miss her so much. My parents moved out of their rental and into her house so this is the only spot I have left. 3 days after she died I turned 16 and my birthday present was my father telling me I was no longer part of their family and threw me out of the house. I had managed to hide the money so I walked the hour and a half away to the human side of our territory. I found a long term stay place and met the nice owner the night I walked in. She reminded me of my mother but she actually had a motherly way about her.When I walked in I was limping from my leg still not being fully healed. My face was bruised and bleeding making her gasp when she laid eyes on me. She sat me down and gently cleaned my

Chapter: Wolfless "Get up now" I woke startled at the loud voice of my father through my door. "If you are late again you will be punished!" He yelled before his footsteps faded down the hall.I sighed sitting up. My tiny closet sized room was getting even smaller now I was growing. Being a 15 year old living like a slave was beyond horrible, my whole family and the pack hated me. I was born wolfless, my mother was blamed by my father and she blamed me, everyone blamed me. I stood off my mattress on the floor and grabbed the light grey jeans and a black hoodie sliding them on before exiting my room. I walked downstairs and straight into the kitchen. I had to make breakfast for everyone, clean the dishes and wait until the house was empty before eating anything left over, but with 3 brothers that was never much.After everyone was done eating and ridiculing me like normal. I washed the dishes ate the left over bacon and the three slices of toast left before grabbing my school
