JAX:

"I'm sorry," I managed to say, the first words that came out of my mouth.

"You don't have to be," she replied softly, gazing back at me with consideration. "You shouldn't be either. I think I've come to terms with wanting you too, but there's a lot to sort out. We both have our baggage-"

"Scarlett," her father called out to her.

"I agree with you," I interjected. "There's a lot we need to discuss, a much long-delayed repartee. If it's okay with you, I'd like to pick you up next weekend for us to talk," I offered.

Please say yes.

Tell me you'll see me.

"Scarlett!" her father called again.

Dammit, Mr. De Luca. I'm trying to make your daughter fall in love with me again.

She looked back at me from the kitchen door. "What time?" she asked.

"Anytime is good, as long as it works for you too. We could do morning coffee, a simple brunch, or dinner."

"I think brunch is good," she said.

"Then twelve pm?" I suggested.

"Young lady," her father's voice interrupted.

For the love of-

    JAX:La Belle Vue. The restaurant was just as I envisioned—warm, intimate, yet refined. Sunlight streamed through the large windows, casting a soft glow over the dark oak tables and exposed brick walls. A fireplace crackled in the corner, the scent of burning cedar mixing with the faint aroma of freshly baked pastries. The space was entirely ours, not a single other guest in sight. Just Scarlett and me.She looked around, taking in the dim golden chandeliers and plush leather seating. The faint notes of a jazz piano hummed through the air, barely noticeable under the quiet shuffle of the wait staff."I've never been to this side of town. It's so pretty," she murmured, settling into her seat.I loosened my tie slightly, trying to shake off the ridiculous nerves creeping up my spine. "I thought you'd like something simple but nice.""Thank you," she told me.A waiter appeared with two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice, setting them down with a polite nod before handing us the men

    SCARLETT :"It is easy. Too easy. You have me by your side."His words sounded sweet, sweeter than all the honey in this world, if you will.He made it sound like nothing, yet to me, it was something. It was the whole of it."How much time?" He asked me, his gaze unmoving, unnerving. This man was trying so hard to reach into my soul.I think it's working."I have no idea," I replied to him honestly.How long does it take to think a relationship through?A day?A week?A month?One year?I did not know."I can't say I know all of you, and you can't say you know all of me," I told him."Scarlett, you have all of me. You can take all the time you need to study me, and I'll let you. Nothing is holding us back."How can you say nothing is?Are you going to tell him how you planned to use him first? A voice teased at the back of my head. It was like the devil whispering words of conceited advice sure to ruin me. Herrera would give it a good smash and stab if she were present.The voice was

    JAX:Scarlett tensed at the mention of the royal pack house. I understood why. My brother hadn't been found. All I needed was for him to come around so that I could confront him for my mate. How were skilled spies and assassins not able to locate him? The issue was beginning to seem beyond me. I hated it.She fiddled with the seatbelt next to me. I could tell she was still anxious."Why did you lie to me and say that you are fine, Scarlett? When will you learn to trust me fully?" I asked.I glanced to the side, our eyes met.I placed one hand on the steering wheel and the other on her fidgeting hand. She became stiff, just like when I hugged her in the hospital, but later relaxed to my touch."That's it. Don't shy away from me," I said.I didn't say anything more to her. Her body understood what mine was trying to convey. I saw through her because she's mine.The drive wasn't too far, and the enormous gates of the royal pack house opened to us, very grand and stylish.We entered and m

    SCARLETT :To say that meeting with the grand Luna was fairly okay is viewing it on the positive side.How estranged was her relationship with her son?When did it get this bad?Has it always been that way?How exactly did Jax grow up? Did he even experience any parental love?I wanted answers. No, I needed answers."Scarlett!" My mother called out to me."I'm coming." I put the last box onto the truck."I'm so tired." Sophie slumped onto me."Get up, lazy ass." I pushed her off me gently. "I won't be moving your hair kit box for you."Two days went by fast, and we were moving to the farmhouse.I told Sophie everything, about my new ability, about Herrera. It still felt unreal that my spirit remembered her, not everything. Just faintly and with time, it seemed as if all my memories there with her were leaving me. My newfound ability was for the pack alone. When the pack becomes in great danger, it will arise. The permission for Herrera to use my body was irrevocable. Meaning I can sli

    SCARLETT :The farmhouse sat at the end of a winding dirt road, nestled between rolling green fields and a thick tree line. It was a sturdy two-story home, built with warm brown timber and stone, standing strong as if it had weathered years of seasons. The wraparound porch had wooden railings, a few rocking chairs, and flower pots spilling over with bright daisies and lavender. A wind chime swayed gently, adding a soft melody to the sounds of nature.Past the house, the land stretched wide, dotted with trees that swayed under the afternoon sun. A fenced pasture sat to the side, where a chestnut horse grazed peacefully, flicking its tail. A few cows stood lazily in the shade of an old oak tree, chewing grass without a care in the world. Closer to the barn, goats wandered near a wooden pen, occasionally headbutting each other in playful mischief. Chickens pecked at the dirt, their soft clucking blending with the distant croak of a frog near a small pond at the edge of the property. A pa

    SCARLETT :So far, so good. The move was going nicely for us. The people were kind, and there were others our age who were AMAZING. Dad had enlisted a few people to help build a nice, cozy wooden pastry shop.My father was such a hard worker. We were currently hanging out with our new friends.José, Elena, Adrianne, Estelle, Jean, Lennie, and Courte.It took me three whole days to memorize their names.This side of town had a lot to offer, though it wasn't as beautiful as our pack's Capital since the majority of the population here was filled with lowborns, as the nobles would call us.Elena invited us to watch a movie. Her parents were well-to-do, owning a flourishing timber business. Not huge, but doing alright. Her parents were out, and we were all just chilling with popcorn and soda.Sophie had had a couple of hangouts with friends before, so she knew what to say or do. I had always been more reserved; hence, it was the first time I had tried putting in effort to associate with ot

    SCARLETT :The day was upon us. The day we had all been waiting for.Our double date!I stared at the neatly wrapped box on my bed, my band inscribed on a smooth, precise script. A single deep red rose rested on top, its petals velvety and rich in color. Sophie’s box sat beside hers, wrapped in soft blue ribbon, a pale pink rose accompanying it."Do you think they actually picked these out themselves?" Sophie asked, holding the delicate flower between her fingers, her blonde curls bouncing as she turned to me.I smirked, running my fingers over the sleek black leather jacket inside the box. "I don't know, but it looks so good. They probably had Sir Hensley help them. I've always wanted a new leather jacket. It's designer. I hope it didn't cost a fortune. I have to treat Jax to corn dogs and burgers at the amusement park."Sophie gasped, dramatically clutching her heart. "Blasphemy. Zharn has good taste. I believe he picked these out himself." She pulled out a silky baby blue off-shoul

    SCARLETT :We grabbed some food first and played some outdoor games before heading to the arcade. The neon lights of the arcade cast a colorful glow as Sophie squealed, jumping up and down."It looks just like in the images," I said, delighted that it met our expectations."Right?" Sophie beamed."What games shall we play first?" Zharn asked."I vote air hockey, unless you guys are scared wimps," my twin pointed to Jax and me."What about your boyfriend?" I arched my brows."Nah, Zharn has never and will never be a scared wimp.""Thank you, baby," he leaned down and pecked her cheek."Well, my girlfriend and I aren't scared wimps. Air hockey is too easy."I blushed at Jax's retort. We weren't dating yet.We decided to play as teams: Team Jax and Scarlett and Team Zharie. I can't with their name combination."We won! We beat you two!" Sophie declared, pointing at Jax and me. My mouth hung open in betrayal at the air hockey table."You cheated," I fumed."You both just suck," Zharn grin

    SOPHIE:I thought everything was going great. We've had the best time in a long time. A farmhouse, friends our age, good dates with Zharn. Not until Cage told me that Scarlett had another nightmare.It gave me the feeling that her situation was more than what she let on. A part of her was tied to that memory.I paced around as Papa settled more bills regarding his small pastry shop building. He wanted to give it a countryside look, hence what he wanted it to be made of nice wood."Sophie, come help me," Mom asked for my assistance with milking Sally and Molly. Side effects of the farm life. She pointed to the shed. "Can you go feed Brownie?""Mom, you know she only likes you.""And Cage," she added."Exactly, which is why you should feed. I'll milk Sally."We continued the argument until she agreed to get it done herself, and that, kids, is how you dodge chores or swap whichever.My phone vibrated in my pocket, and as soon as I saw the caller ID, I thought the cows needed a break."He

    SCARLETT :As Cage promised, he was there in three hours. I confided in Sophie about Lucinda and lied to my parents about filing in some information at the culinary school."Thank you for coming to pick me up. I shouldn't have yelled at you." I did my best to face my actions."I deserved to be yelled at," he replied, facing the road.No, Cage. You do not deserve it one bit.I closed my eyes and let the breeze from the weather carry me away.And I'm back in front of the tall building that hosts Lucinda's office."Scarlett!" Miss Kim ran to embrace me.She's still cheerful. She's so lucky. Last time I saw her, we were talking about a Channing Hayton movie."Miss Kim." I embraced her. Cage waited for me in his car like he always does."I'm so happy to see you. Well, I shouldn't be because you shouldn't be coming here again..." She went on and on. "Let me inform Dr. Lucinda of your arrival."She left me alone in the waiting room, and suddenly I missed her. I didn't want to be left alone.

    SCARLETT :It's dark.I'm tied up.It's the devil.He's Logan.I can't breathe.I can't move.He's dragging my hair.He's breaking my spirit.He's ripping off my clothes."Let me go!" I finally scream, feeling all muddy and sweaty, flailing in desperation. "Let me go!"He doesn't.He laughs at my displeasure.His eyes glint with victory.He's going to kill me."No. No. No." I open my eyes.I'm alive.There's light.I'm not bound.But I can't breathe.I'm sweating.I'm crying.My heart is pounding.I pant, I have to, my life depends on it.I fumble with my phone and call Cage.He picks up on the fifth ring."Goodness, Scarlett," he breathes into the phone. "Are you okay? It's two in the morning.""I need Dr. Lucinda's number. Now!" My teeth chatter."Scarlett, are you okay?""Cage, give me her number!" I'm agitated, frustrated, and still cannot breathe properly."Fuck, okay." Cage cusses, he rarely does.And in no time, he sends it.I dial her number immediately.Sixth ring."Who's thi

    SCARLETT :Harrison Cage, you are a witch! The chickens stayed calm as he fed them, but he witnessed as they tried to come for me, so I guess he understands the reason why I was that scared."They don't like you very much," he pointed out."Gee. Thanks," I said flatly."Aw, c'mon Scarlett De Luca, are you mad at your good friend?" He feigned sadness."Yes, I am. Said good friend just laughed at my misery.""And said good friend is now apologizing," he bowed with his hand to his head."Jeez, Cage! I held him by his shoulders, lifting his upper body. "Never do that again," I said, dead serious."I won't.""Good.""There's one last thing I need you to do," I said, my eyes glinting with mischief.I gave Cage a bucket of water for Brownie and stood outside her little stable.He came back with his face moist, absolutely disgusted. He smelled like a horse. "She licked my face," he grimaced."Aw, Brownie likes you a lot. That's nice," I wiggled my brows at him."Don't," he warned him.It was

    SCARLETT :The past days and weeks have been utter bliss. Life has never been so fulfilling. It almost feels too good to be true. I'm thrilled. I'm scared.Pushing the negatives aside, I remember Lucinda's words.My therapist.Cage said she was hospitalized, but she's recovered just fine and hasn't quit the profession. I was glad. Lucinda was a darling. I hope she never quits."Sophie," my father's voice reaches the room from downstairs.Right. We were supposed to hand out free pastries to the neighborhood as goodwill. Papa's pastry shop was coming into good view, and boy, was I excited for it. Sophie must be up already. I texted Jax into the night. I feel like an actual teenager now. Late-night calls and texting. I loved those activities quite a lot. It's an understatement to say I am not quite fond of them.I got off my bed, looked into my mirror, at my tattoo. My parents don't understand it yet. I have to tell them at some point.I brushed my teeth, had a shower, changed into a gra
