Alexei: I tapped my fingers on my desk as I waited for my siblings to come. Letting my parents, Aunt Sienna, and Nikolay sit in the connected room beside my office after showing them the footage of their son being with the Italians; we all knew that something was wrong, and whatever it was, we wanted to get to the bottom of it. Flashback: “You are lying because of your anger toward your siblings” Yaroslav said, glaring at me. “I don’t lie about such nonsense, and seeing as you haven’t seen the pictures yet, I am surprised that you would accuse me of lying to begin with” I said, handing him and mom the envelope that contained his pictures as he spoke to the Italians. Mom shook her head, her heart obviously breaking as she tried thinking of an explanation to his behavior; but she knew that nothing could excuse this. “What are you going to do?” “I want to know what they spoke about, and you are going to listen; otherwise, whatever I tell you, you won’t believe” I said, glaring at Ya
Scarlett:Ivan knocked on Alexei’s office door twice before walking inside, asking permission for us to enter. Maddie’s eyes met mine and she sighed, shaking her head at me. I knew that both her and Ivan saw my idea as ridiculous, but then again, neither one of them heard what the idea actually was before coming to that conclusion.Sensing his anger, I didn’t try to argue with Ivan who walked out, shaking his head “he doesn’t want to see anyone for a while, Scarlett”I nodded, taking a step back, knowing that it would be best not to get him angrier than he already was. Maddie frowned in confusion, shaking her head at Ivan who motioned for her to be quiet. Understanding the silent message, I turned to walk up the stairs, giving them their privacy, knowing that they wouldn’t want to speak in front of the ‘slave’ that they saw as an ‘outsider’, and if I were going to be honest with myself, that was technically what I was in this house. My heart raced against my ribcage with each step I
Alexei:My heart dropped to my stomach when Scarlett’s eyes closed, her body giving out on her.I could hear her heart weakening as she refused to open her eyes, and watching me, Madeline put a hand on my shoulders, wanting to pull me back. The doctors who were frozen in their spot for a second ran inside the room, their eyes widening at the sight of blood covering her naked body. Her shoulder was bleeding badly, and to make things worse, I wasn’t sure if the bullet that hit her abdomen hit any vital organs.“Alpha…”“I do not care what you have to do, I don’t want any mistakes” I said, stopping the doctor from talking. I got up from the edge of the bed where I was sitting. Walking past Maddie, I rushed out of the room, heading toward the room where Scarlett told us they entered.A low growl escaped my chest when I heard Ivan giving orders to close all the house’s exits, letting me know that they’ve escaped. My growl seemed to catch everyone off guard as Ivan and the others jumped in
Scarlett:My body ached letting me know that I was alive.Alexei’s scent filled my nostrils and the familiar smell of the bedroom made my wolf relax despite the pain that we were in.Squeezing my eyes shut, I tried to force myself to control my muscles, and that started with trying to move my eyelids, wanting to regain my self control.Come on, Scarlett…My mother’s voice filled my head as I tried opening them, remembering the number of times I would fall sick after being poisoned as a child, sleeping for days when they refused to take me to a hospital, wanting my immune system to resist. The number of times they have forced me to take scorpion stings or snake bites, not giving me an antidote, watching as my body suffered for a few days before I would get up, and each time they repeated the process, I took less time to heal, until eventually, these poisons didn’t affect me anymore.Forcing my eyes open, I looked around the empty room, my heart racing against my ribcage as I recalled w
Alexei:I walked out of the room, my heart breaking with each step I took from my mate who I knew was sick in bed, unable to follow me.Her heart raced against her ribcage and it wasn’t until I saw the nurses running up to the bedroom that I realized that something was wrong. I followed them inside and my heart dropped to my stomach when I saw that she had blood coming out of her nose. “Scarlett?” I whispered, running to her side. A nurse went to test her pressure and noticing blood coming out of her ear, my eyes went wide as I cupped her cheeks, forcing her to look at me “malyshka, I need you to calm yourself down. Your pressure is too high”I didn’t need to wait for the nurse to confirm that it was, I knew that she was going through hypertension. Scarlett’s eyes were fixed on my face, but I could tell that she could barely hear me.“Alpha, we need to give her something to make her sleep” a doctor said from behind me. I nodded, letting her go, watching as they injected her with mor
Scarlett:I whimpered in pain as the doctor injected me with the IV to ensure my nutrition.Having refused to eat, he didn’t expect me to eat anyway; Alexei called him here for help.Alexei’s eyes were fixed on me, worry drawn over his expression as the doctor checked for my fever, then started passing a flashlight on my eyes, wanting me to follow it.“Everything seems alright so far. But you still need to take things easy. The painkillers usually wear off wolves faster than humans; hence why you tend to need them every few hours. As for you wanting to sit up, get up, or even run, that is normal. Your wolf is on survival instincts despite being weak, and you getting worked up didn’t make things any easier on her as she seems to feel insecure” he said, looking at me. I looked down at my lap, nodding in understanding. I knew what she was feeling and I had a feeling that the doctor was well aware of that; his words were directed at Alexei, and not me.The fact that he had doubted me to t
Alexei: Never in my life did I think that I would be in a position where I would be truly saying that I was in love with someone. But having heard her muttering it in her sleep a few days back; I knew that the feelings were mutual whether or not she managed to open her mouth and say anything now. Scarlett froze, looking me in the eye, trying to process what I said. Her eyes met mine, and wrapping my arm around her, I hugged her tightly, wanting to assure her. The two of us pulled away to look one another in the eye, and gently leaning in, I kissed her temple, purring as I calmed her down. The fact that I had told her in an angered moment annoyed me, but I knew that I had to calm her somehow, and seeing how she was reacting, the insecurities that she was having were rising to the surface making her lose all her self control. “We are going to need to seek a little help, malyshka, okay?” I whispered to her, my eyes softening when she looked at me. My heart broke when I saw the child th
Scarlett:I opened my eyes to find Maddie sitting beside me.Her eyes met my own and despite the throb in my head, I smiled, patting the bed as to have her lay beside me. She did, raising herself on her left arm as she faced me. The woman has not only been there for me on my toughest of days, she was also my listening ear when I felt like I was alone.“How are you feeling? What did the doctor tell you this time?” She asked, her voice gentle. I knew that somewhere, deep down, her and Ivan regretted not stopping me from leaving the hall that night. But I also knew that it wasn’t their fault, and despite knowing that Alexei must have given them a hard time, I couldn’t bring myself to agree with his ways.“I am fine, he said that I could walk today. But the cut is still there, just superficial” I said, sitting up, resting my back against the bedrest. Maddie stayed in her same position, looking at me.“I take it that you and Alexei made up?” She said, making me laugh. I shook my head at
Alexei: I smiled at the sight of my wife who walked into the bedroom wearing her wedding dress. The dress which hugged her body perfectly was made by an Italian designer specifically for her, and I knew that she wanted to give it away as a present to another woman who couldn’t have her own dress made, and seeing as she already knew who she was going to give it to, I couldn’t help but smile at her genuine side. The two of us chose not to have an after party; therefore we went to the hotel directly to spend a few nights there before heading out on our honeymoon. I walked toward her, and slowly removed the veil of her head, smiling when I saw that she was blushing. “Now, now, why are you shy, malyshka? It’s not like I haven’t seen you before” I teased, running my finger down her arm. I chuckled, knowing that tonight would be different. I didn’t know or understand why, but seeing her in her dress made my heart drop, and my air got caught in my throat. She knew that for fact, and hear
Scarlett:“Where are we going?” I asked, smiling at Alexei who had his arm wrapped around my waist.“You know, I never took you as impatient, but it seems like I was wrong in that” he teased, kissing my temple. I knew that the two of us were heading to have breakfast, but considering that we just passed the buffet, I couldn’t help but be curious.“Alexei, come on, stop being so stubborn” I said, pouting my lips. Alexei laughed and shook his head at my behavior. The sound of the fountains and built waterfalls was relaxing, and I couldn’t help but stop my tracks as I took sight of the flower fields. “Your eyes were closed last night, and I thought that we would end up having a tour after dinner, but things took a whole different route” Alexei teased, making me laugh. My eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the flying squirrels, and seeing how excited I was, Alexei wrapped his arms around me from the back, hugging me tightly.He kissed my cheek and rested his chin against my shoulde
Alexei:“Okay, the forest is literally the last place I expected after the lantern thing we did earlier” Scarlett said as the two of us walked toward our date. I laughed, shaking my head at my impatient beauty whose eyes were covered with my hand as I guided her. Passing the small built waterfall that was giving the area a more romantic aroma. The smell of flowers filled my nostrils as we passed the jasmine field and I was more than a little surprised that my mate decided that we were in a forest.“I don’t even know how you assumed that it was a forest, especially since your eyes are closed. Anyhow, we are almost there, just watch your step” I said, making sure that she didn’t hit anything that would hurt her. The path ahead of us was mostly empty except for a few squirrels who would be running around or rocks that she could trip on. I would occasionally kiss the crown of her head as she complained, and noticing that she has been doing it a lot since arriving, I realized that my mate
Scarlett:I ran my fingers through my hair as I untangled it before bringing the brush. I couldn’t help but feel thankful for finally being able to move my hand without feeling like it was about to fall off. The past few weeks have been hell on me as it was without being able to mobilize it, and I know for fact that I didn’ want to go back to living through that again.Having taken the cast off two days ago, I still needed a bit to be able to move it completely, but it was a start, and that was something to hold onto. At least, I wouldn’t have to rely on a maid to help me with simple tasks like cutting a tomato when my muscles went numb.I smiled as I stared at my reflection. My face has regained its color, and I have added the few pounds that I have lost with everything that has happened after I got shot. I was also glad to see that Isabella and Sienna’s treatments, nutrition wise, were working. The family has silently decided to spend more time together after everything has been set
Alexei:Scarlett and I walked out of the office to find most of the pack members sitting in the living room by mom’s side. Her eyes were fixed on the box that she got, Viktor’s head, and despite the tears that formed in her eyes, I knew that she was proud of what she saw.I cleared my throat, catching everyone’s attention, and seeing me enter the room, mom straightened, standing up from the couch as she approached me. Scarlett who was standing beside me, took a step back as mom wrapped her arms around me, pulling me in for a tight hug,“I am very proud of you, Alexei…” she whispered, kissing my cheek. She pulled away to look me in the eye, and despite her tears that fell from her eyes, she gave me a small, confident smile “I never want you to think otherwise. What you did was the right thing for the pack, and it was what we should have done years ago. If we couldn’t do it because of our positions as his parents, you took the hardest part as his brother and ensured your pack’s safety.
Scarlett:I watched as Alexei walked inside the house. His eyes avoided mine, the blood on his clothes and lifeless eyes told me that things were done, his brother was dead. His heart raced against his ribcage with each step he took, and I knew that he was trying to pull himself together to stand strong despite the shock that he was living through. It was one that I wouldn’t want my worst of enemies to live through; therefore, I wasn’t going to let my mate live through it alone.I went to walk toward him only for Maddie to wrap her hand around my arm, shaking her head at me. However, I responding with the same head shake and moved away from her hand and followed him; I wasn’t going to leave him to live through this pain on his own. If anything, I would be helping him mend his scars like he’s helped me with mine.I entered the office without bothering to knock on the door, not that Alexei expected me to do so anyway. He was more than used to me ignoring that. He stood by the bar, debat
Alexei:I growled, glaring at my brother whose eyes were wide in fear, and I could see his hands shaking despite being cuffed to the chair. His heart raced, and the vein on his forehead told me that he was more than just a little petrified.He knew what was coming, and at this point, I really didn’t care whether or not he was answering my questions; I knew that I was punishing him for MY pleasure, and that itself was enough to make him piss his pants. The man not only forced us to kill our sister, and himself. He also hurt my mate, and if I wasn’t chewing his neck off right now, it was because our father was in the same room, and I still had some work to do.“Alexei, stop, please, I will answer your questions” he begged, making me chuckle. I ran my blade over his abdomen, enjoying his cries of pain too much to stop, allowing it to rest right over his cock, or what was left of it anyway. The man didn’t deserve to have one to begin with and I handled that the way I knew best.“But, thi
Scarlett:“Isabella, I am fine” I said, shaking my head at the woman who wanted nothing more than to feed me the second bowl of soup.“You are not, and you will not reject this bowl of soup. It is good for you and would help you grow stronger. You need to build your strength, and judging by what Andrea said about your state, I am going to be taking care of you myself” she said, making me laugh.“Well, it seems like Doctor Andrea told you all about my state” I said, looking down at my lap. My smile quickly faded from my lips, and reading my expression, Isabella, put a finger under my chin, raising my face for me to look at her. Her, Sienna, Lena, and Maddie were in my room while Alexei went to deal with a few things. What they were, I didn’t bother asking, but I didn’t need to ask to know that they concerned his brother. “You are not going to listen to a word she said, do you understand me, Scarlett?”“She is a doctor…”“Nothing she said is guaranteed” Isabella said, stopping me “she
Alexei:I ran my finger over my mate’s arm, watching as she stirred, waking up from the deep slumber that she fell into.Having slept in the car, the doctors took her to examine her wounds, and I couldn’t help the ache I felt when I heard from the doctors that she was hurting herself more than she could handle. The fact that she knew that she wasn’t supposed to exhaust herself for the sake of healing herself and her wolf made me regret sending her to Viktor. She knew the risk and yet didn’t tell me anything about it.She opened her eyes, and sitting up, she wrapped her arms around me, hugging me tightly. I hugged her back, gently kissing her temple, loving her more than I ever have for what she was doing for me. “How are you feeling, Scarlett?” I asked, pulling away from the hug. She frowned, moving her shoulder before smiling.“I’m fine. The pain on my shoulder is somewhat nonexistent” she said, making me smile. “What happened? Where are we anyway?” She asked, looking me in the eye
