Scarlett:

I woke up to Alexei getting up from bed.

Sitting up, I rubbed my temple, slowly massaging it as I tried to soothe the pain in my head.

“Good morning” Alexei said, not turning to face me. His toned back faced me, his muscles flexed and I couldn’t help but stare at him.

“Can I take a shower?” I asked, not bothering to respond.

“The bathroom is right here, you don’t need to ask permission to go” he said, pointing at the door.

“Thank you” I said, lowering my gaze to the ground when he turned to face me. My heart raced against my ribcage as he approached me.

He sat on the edge of the bed, and extending his hand, I couldn’t help but flinch “I won’t hurt you”

I stayed still, watching as he removed my hair from my neck, touching the mark on my neck. The mark sent sparks running down my spine, and seeing my reaction, Alexei smiled at me.

“You’re in a good mood” I stated. He chuckled, shaking his head at me.

“You are one interesting woman, has anyone ever told you that” he said, maki

    Alexei:“Madeline, you will be in charge of taking care of Scarlett. Teach her the rules of the estate and make sure that she doesn’t go around shifting and killing the other wolves” I said, looking Maddie in the eye. Her brown eyes met my blue ones and she shook her head at me, crossing her arms over her chest.“Something happened, and considering that you just called me Madeline, I have a feeling that you are more than just a little pissed off” she said, raising an eyebrow at me. Maddie, Ivan, and I grew up together and considering that, she was never treated like the other maids despite that being her job.“She’s just being a handful” I said, pinching the bridge of my nose. The fact that she was different made this a lot more exciting; however, I wasn’t sure whether it was in a good way or a bad one “I slapped her today”“You, Alpha Alexei, laid your hand on a woman?” Madeline asked, straightening up “that’s a first. She must have really annoyed you if you resolved to the one thing

    Scarlett:I walked out of the bathroom to frown when I saw a woman sitting on Alexei’s bed. Her blonde hair was loose over her shoulders as she scrolled through the phone, and I couldn’t help but frown when I heard the bedroom’s door get locked. Her eyes met mine, and she raised an eyebrow, looking me up and down. Her brown eyes met my green ones, and regardless of the fact of having a towel wrapped around me, I couldn’t help but feel exposed as her eyes scanned me for a second too long.She twirled her finger around a lock of her straight, blonde hair before standing up, showing me a few clothes that were on the edge of the bed. I looked at the clothes, then at her, waiting for her to voice out what she wanted to say.“I wasn’t sure of your size, but if they’re too big, we can always tighten them, at least, until you’ve gotten your own clothes” she said, taking a step back. “Whose clothes are they?”“They’re mine, but don’t worry, the underwear are new. I figured that you could use

    Alexei:I watched as Scarlett walked out of Maddie’s room, her eyes were fixed on the ground as she wiped her tears from her face. The shirt she wore was loose over her body, proving to me that she was a few pounds thinner than Madeline was, and seeing as she decided to leave her hair to dry naturally, her hair was now forming natural curls.I frowned at the sight of the bruise that formed on her cheek, and I couldn’t help the low growl that escaped my chest, catching her and Madeline’s attention. She wouldn’t look at me as she kept her head down, and watching as Maddie walked toward me, my chest rumbled with the low growl that had her tensing.“What happened here?” I asked, glaring at Maddie who bit her bottom lip. Her heart raced as she saw my anger through my eyes, lowering her gaze to the ground, and knowing her, I knew that Madeline only lowered her gaze when she knew that she had crossed her limits or when she knew that she did something wrong.“I reminded her of her place. She

    Scarlett:“Why did you choose to bring me here?” I asked, looking at Alexei who put his glass of water down to look at me. The smell of flowers made me relax as I remembered the smell of my mother, her memory made my chest ache; however, I couldn’t help but picture her the second I smelled the orchids. She loved orchids.“Why do you try to find a reason behind literally everything? Can’t you just take something good into your heart? I don’t know, just accept it without asking too many questions?” He asked, glaring daggers at me. I looked down at my plate, taking a deep breath as Madeline’s words played in my head. I knew that I shouldn’t be playing with fire the way that I was, I was never allowed any freedom of speech back at the facility; however, regardless of being punished, I never seemed to learn.“I came to learn that nothing is done for no reason, there’s usually a price to pay…”“And you’re assuming that I would make you pay a price for being genuine with you?” He asked, sto

    Alexei:I entered the bedroom to find Scarlett standing beside the window. Her hands hugging herself as she stared at the night’s sky.I knew that she had caught my scent; however, she didn’t bother turning to face me, not even when I walked toward her, my arm wrapping around her as I pulled her back before opening the window. She looked down at my hand for a second before looking up at the moon which was almost full. She smiled, shaking her head as tears formed in her eyes “when was the last time you shifted?”My question seemed to catch her off guard as she turned around to face me, her eyes dropping to the ground as she feared my anger, a few tears hit the ground as they fell from her eyes. I sighed and took a step toward her, frowning when she flinched. Gently putting my finger under her chin, making her look at me, I leaned in, gently connecting my lips with hers. Scarlett didn’t respond for a few seconds, her heart racing, and I could feel her body shaking as I cupped her chee

    Scarlett:I watched as Madeline entered the bedroom, her eyes avoiding mine as she sat on the couch which was inside Alexei’s room. Pulling out her phone, she started scrolling through it, pretending that I didn’t exist.“What’s wrong with you?” I asked, frowning in confusion. Madeline raised an eyebrow, a smile forming on her lips when she looked up at me.“So, this is the sassy woman that Alexei told me about” Madeline said, making me laugh. I shook my head at her, sitting on the couch by her side, not caring that I was wearing nothing but Alexei’s shirt. The man having changed me in my sleep, I couldn’t believe that I was practically just noticing that now “you need your own clothes”“Alexei told me that the two of us would be buying them when he’s back from wherever he’s going” I said, resting my back against the armrest “but he said something about ordering them online. Clearly he doesn’t trust me out in public just yet”“Alexei, is he?” She asked, smiling when she saw that I was

    Alexei:I frowned when I heard what Scarlett told Ivan, and seeing as Maddie was just as confused, I let her go and walked to the room, following Scarlett. I walked inside the room to find her sitting on the edge of the bed, gripping the sheets as she kept her eyes on the ground “what is your problem?”“You can ask your right hand what is HIS problem” Scarlett snapped “I was standing alone, watching as you tried getting Madeline to forgive you when…”“I fucking heard every word he told you, and that is why I will ask again, what the fuck is your problem?” I asked, watching as she stood up. Scarlett walked toward me, her eyes remaining fixed on mine for a second too long before she opened her mouth to speak.“You, Alpha Alexei, you are my bloody problem” she said, putting a finger on my chest. I stayed quiet, waiting for her to say what she wanted, wanting her to speak of what she had in mind “me being here is my problem, me being sold to the facility is my problem, you buying me agai

    Scarlett:“We can’t seem to get to your shopping at all” Alexei said, making me laugh.“Madeline already added a few things to the cart, we figured that we would show it to you when you came back” I said, laying my head on his chest. He ran his finger over my shoulder, drawing small circles.“I need to give you a card to use if you find something that you like later” he said. I frowned, raising myself to look at him “you do realize that you still need money to buy yourself things, and it’s not liking it would be charity; it’s your right to have something that’s yours. Of course, your budget would be higher than the other girls, but…” “Wait, wait, you give your slaves…”“Okay, the two of us are going to need to discuss something before you complete this sentence of yours” Alexei said, stopping me. He sat up, wrapping his arm around me as he pulled me back to lay on his chest. My bare chest was pressed against his as I looked up at him, studying his expression “I don’t like using the t

    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
