Alpha Jax Chapter 19
SCARLETT :"Scarlett," he called after me. "Stop walking." I continued."I'm going to drive away and leave you here. Is that what you want?"My heart tugged harder as the tears kept rolling. Like he cares. I moved as fast as I was able to.He was behind me, the next minute he wasn't. He was really going to leave. Water from nowhere fell on my nose. I was still crying, but I was damn sure those weren't from the salty waters of my eyes.I looked up to the sky and saw it begin to darken, like my life was only the shades of grey in the skies had meaning, purpose, and usefulness. The darkness in mine didn't.Just when I was lost, swarming in my thoughts, did I realize I was in the middle of the road, a loud speeding truck honked in my direction.I needed to move, or I'd die, yet I stood there. I mean, I wanted to run to avoid meeting an inevitable doom, but that seemed hopeless, not when I had watched someone dear to me pass away due to something similar.My aunt Darla, my father's sister.
Alpha Jax Chapter 20
SCARLETT :His warmth, in contrast to the cold weather, usually unmatched, made me want to open up. I knew the probability of him actually caring only existed in my dreams. He must've pitied me so much that he had to pretend to be extraordinarily affectionate, and I truly didn't mind. I'd take it if it was all I could get.I had no understanding of what this feeling was. Chances were it wouldn't count after I broke our bond, yet I wanted to sink myself into it."I was only nine," I began. "My twin and I were out with our Aunt, her name was Darla." I shifted, recollecting the memories. "She was exactly like the female version of my father. She was a hard worker, so she didn't come around much, and when she did, we would go out to the park, get ice cream. She was like that big older sister, only eighteen years older. On that day..."Alpha Jax stayed silent, but his gentle stroking of my hair gave me all the encouragement I needed. "We went to the park like we had always done. Some time
Alpha Jax Chapter 21
JAX:I asked her to surprise me, and she's been doing so unintentionally for a while now. My private investigators didn't tell me this part of Scarlett's past. I did know she saw a therapist for two years in my city when her family finally returned to the pack. I told my private investigators to check out the reasons, and they had yet to get back to me.It brought me a weird sense of satisfaction that she chose to confide in me. All her walls were torn down, and her fears were laid bare in front of me. As she spoke, I was glad that it wasn't with another person. I felt so selfish, and I didn't want to feel any other way. It made me want to be the only one who saw every side of her. No one could see every aspect she bears except for me.I brought this upon myself the moment I touched her in my cabin. How could I not have known or thought of the aftermath of my actions? My wolf was the strongest between both of us, and it seems like I never rejected her.My Scarlett didn't shiver or whi

SCARLETT :Who would have thought Rosie was crazy enough to stand in the rain waiting for Alpha Jax to return? Next time I feel like I'm too desperate, I'll try to remember her. Rosie is unmatched.We drove for two more hours, totally ticking nothing off his schedule except breakfast, calling the beta Zharn, and attending the council meeting with the pack elders of the Moonrock pack. There were eight more tedious tasks to do. As I dragged my feet to my room after one of the most tedious days of my life, I found Rosie waiting at my door.Hell no. I turned back."Don't move, you slut." I stopped in my tracks, spinning around on my heels to meet the fury in her eyes. Alcohol clouded all the other scents coming off her.Aaron said he had the servants put her to sleep, but she was right in front of my room, with her lengthy pink dress clinging onto her body. She could have at least tried to change out of her drenched clothing.I was not going to deny that she was beautiful. Icy blue eyes,

JAX:"Can I have a word with you?" Aaron added. "In private." He took a swift glance at Scarlett. This was all after he had told us about how Rosie was scared that I had run off with Scarlett. My guards were still in the palace. There was no way I'd just leave them there and run off with a woman. Her reason only proved how mad she was.I wanted to believe I should have been shocked, but then, it's Rosie. After Rosie was out of sight and the servants stayed clear, Aaron laid out his plan for me.It was as stupid as it was logical. All I had to do was pretend to love Rosie until her party was over and we departed.She'd be on her best behavior as long as she got what she wanted. Apparently, she developed a few mental issues during the last two weeks, and I had unfortunately become the object of her obsession. If I did well, she was bound to feel obliged to act in a way that pleased me, therefore tricking her to get mental help and use her prescription. If I said I needed her to act more

SCARLETT :Due to the turn of events, all schedules were to be put on hold until we returned to our pack. I was more than relieved to hear this, as being a secretary or personal assistant was not my forte.I chuckled thinking about how the infamously stern Sir Hensley would react when he saw the pile of unmanaged duties he would have to fit into Alpha Jax's weekly schedule.My day off was supposed to be for me to enjoy, to heal from my cuts and bruises, but fate had a way of sabotaging that.Alpha Jax was spending the whole day with Rosie. I knew I was not in love with him, but my plan would be in jeopardy if those two did something they shouldn't. I had to place my faith in a man who sometimes acted out of place.They headed out with the guards, leaving me confident that nothing too serious would happen. He had given me his word before he left. Our back-and-forth had no label. All we had was my side of the bond, which I blatantly refused to cut off. Yet, over the past hours, we had n

SCARLETT :"You must have a talent for choosing random people, Alpha Aaron.""Aaron," he corrected me. "Come, let's sit." He gestured towards the strong wooden bench-like swing in the center of the small garden.I imagined the pure, lively greenery in its ambiance when the flowers were in full bloom, and the imagery seemed like it was made for two lovers. Given its location as a place where people rarely passed through, the quietness and the spring weather, there was no other use for it."Yes, Aaron," I adjusted my tone. "I cannot be your partner. Your pack is one of the largest packs to exist, yet you've found no other woman to accompany you than a woman from another pack, one of low birth.""Are you letting your birth as an Omega define you?" He faced me.I had never been asked that question, meaning I had never thought about it. Was I really letting it define who I was? It didn't matter because that is who I am at the end of the day, a weak wolf."You shouldn't let it," he emphasiz
Alpha Jax Chapter 26
JAX:I felt like a paid actor during the time I spent with Rosie. She was incredibly demanding. I had promised Scarlett I would be back before dinner, but I ended up staying out with Rosie until midnight.She kept talking about all the places she wanted to go with me, and I had no choice but to go along with it, pretending to have fun. My mind was constantly on Scarlett. Our bond felt stronger than ever.I couldn't push the image of Scarlett out of my head while I was with Aaron's sister. Being with Scarlett would have been a million times more enjoyable. We would argue over silly things, and I would prolong the discussions until she gave up. I couldn't deny how much I missed her subtle gestures, like scrunching her nose and tugging on her lower lip.The anticipation of seeing her got me through the day. I planned to ditch Rosie as soon as we arrived at the palace, but she insisted on walking me to my room.A smirk appeared on my lips when I saw Scarlett passed out on the plush couch

Alpha Jax Chapter 50
SCARLETT :His chauffeur drove me home as Alpha Jax refused to let me go on my own. I hid my crying face behind his seat."We've arrived, Miss," he informed me."Thank you, Henry," I mustered a smile, wiping my tears before getting out of the car.When he was out of sight, I practiced what my smile would look like. I had to appear fine before my parents.The door opened even before I rang the doorbell."Scarlett?" My mother called my name."Mama," I smiled."It is you," her voice softened. Judging by the grocery bag in her hand, she probably wanted to go get some stuff. "My baby," she raised her hands to cup my face. "I was going to give you a good beating till I heard you were working overtime. Look at you. You look drained."Well, I was until two hours ago.Thank goodness he sent word to my family; my parents weren't one to toy with my whereabouts."Who's that?" I heard Sophie's voice from inside. She peeked through the door expressing her shock. "Scar? I thought you were going to s

SCARLETT :I did what any normal person would do in that situation. Got up from the bed, freaked out, panicked and yelled. "And you didn't think to inform me before thinking about sleeping with me again?!""I was going to tell you." He explained, getting up from the bed as well, leaving us at opposite ends. "What? You wanted me to wake you by saying. Hey, wake up Scarlett, my mother proposed I sign another alliance with another pack to gather as many resources as possible to protect the pack. That means I'll have to leave for two weeks and by the time I'm back, your deadline’s up. Is that what you want?""Of course, not." I fumed pacing back and forth on my side like a lecturer. "But it would be nice to know you'd be away for that long before touching me like that. Is that something you enjoy? Having me till you're satisfied then discarding me?!""I wasn't discarding you.""Oh, sure you weren't." I spoke sarcastically."Calm down.""Don't tell a woman to calm down! I'm calm, okay?" I
Alpha Jax Chapter 48
SCARLETT :No matter how much I tried to deny it, the truth was that I wanted to spend everyday like that laying in Alpha Jax's arms.I felt it in my heart, my wolf did too. He had finally warmed up to me. Was he in love? That I couldn't answer. My time was running up, and he hadn't told me he loved me yet.I teased him whenever I had the chance to by talking about other men like Sophie advised me to, he reacted similarly to what she said he'd act like.Time went by too fast with him making me upset, making me wish time would freeze or slow down. Nothing compared to the way he touched me recently, I had never orgasmed just as I did with him in all the years I began to touch myself. He roamed his hands, and mouth around my body like a thirsty man lost in spring who finally found a clean lake.I was losing my mind over him that it made me wonder who was the one falling in love. The way he caressed my body made me feel beautiful in ways I was unable to comprehend.And oh, the painting he
Alpha Jax Chapter 47
JAX:I drove to the palace myself, heading down to my mother's chambers.My mother’s throne room exuded refined splendor, simple yet commanding. Stone walls were draped in deep blue and silver tapestries bearing the pack’s crest. A black silk rug led to the elevated mahogany throne, carved with wolves and traced with silver accents. She had created the space for herself since my father passed away. The main throne room belonged to me now.An arched window behind it let in sunlight, blending with the warm glow of gold candle holders. Greenery softened the corners with trailing vines.She sat on the throne, her black dress flowing like liquid shadow, catching the light with each subtle movement, along with two female maid servants by her side who left the room as soon as I entered. Her presence was powerful, every breath filled with poised authority, very much like my mother's personality."Mother," I greeted her."Son," she looked at me with disdain, her honey brown eyes holding rage.
Alpha Jax Chapter 46
JAX:I handed Scarlett the last tissue to wipe her tears. Every time the main characters got into an argument or something tragic happened, she'd tear up, curse the villains, and blame the author.That was the first time I had seen her go from sad to furious."Are you sure you don't want to stop watching?" I asked her, worried for her sanity."No," she sniffed. "There's only thirty minutes left."I groaned inwardly. "Okay."I spent the next thirty minutes wanting to transport myself into the scenes on the screen to finish off the blonde main character Scarlett wouldn't stop fawning over.She laughed because of him, swore because of him, cussed because of him, and cried for him, and all he did was play a role. I doubted he was like that in real life. He's an actor, and actors play pretend."That was amazing," she gleamed.The look on her face was worth it. If she didn't smile like she did at me for letting her watch the movie, I would've sworn to never put myself through the torture of
Alpha Jax Chapter 45
JAX:"Jax," her sweet voice brought me out of my delusions. She called me by my name. She was getting used to it."Yes," I stuttered like a thief who had been caught. I stuttered. I had never done that before, not since I was a little boy. People barely made a...Scarlett had a look of worry on her face. How I reacted wasn't normal, it wasn't like me. "Are you okay?" Her voice further softened, and I think that did something to me. No one had ever spoken to me like that before, not even my best friend."I am," I replied, regaining my composure."Are you sure?""Yeah, I am.""Okay, that's good because I was asking if you ever cook here.""No," I spoke earnestly. "I sent my last chef away, now Hensley brings me takeouts.""You're ridiculous," she shook her head. "The kitchen looked so spotless, I should've known something was wrong when I saw dust on the utensils. Ugh, why did I assume you'd have ingredients just lying around in the kitchen?"I laughed. "It's a cabin, Scarlett. There's
Alpha Jax Chapter 44
JAX:The morning sun was hot, scorching, and seeping its rays through my window. I looked at the woman next to me and realized how much of a mess I had made of her. Her waves looked tangled, her lips were swollen, and I replaced the hickeys on her skin where they had begun to fade.I subconsciously traced her eyebrows, moved to her lashes, then her lips. Her eyes fluttered open, staring blankly into mine like she was trying to take in her environment."No," she croaked, rising up.The plan was for her to go back that same night, but that failed because I ended up losing control. My hunger for her took a long time before it got satisfied."It's okay. I told Hensley to send word to your family that you'd be spending forty-eight hours at the pack house tending to me because I'm working overnight for two days, and I'd rather eat only what you make.""That doesn't make any sense," I told her."It might not make sense, but the order came from me so automatically it should.""It's not up to
Alpha Jax Chapter 43
JAX:I had my chauffeur, Henry, pick up Scarlett from her house. I waited patiently for word to reach me that her parents weren't home, as we had agreed to be discreet around people who weren't trusted staff.I lay on my bed in my cabin, the same bed where I had taken her for the first time, and a few more times after we returned from the Moonrock pack.Only three days had passed, and I became a man starved for her. I stared restlessly into space, waiting for her arrival. I missed the feeling of her in my arms, the tugging of her lower lip, her soft blonde hair, and the scent of her body and shampoo.As long as the bond existed, I would forever be damned if I didn't have her. A gentle knock on the door made me sit upright, grab a file from the nightstand, and pretend to go through it.Why appear as a restless dog waiting for its owner when I could appear composed enough to match my status?I cleared my throat as if I hadn't spoken in a long time. "Come in."The door creaked open, reve

SCARLETT :I stepped forward, but my sister pulled me back, her anger palpable."Are you so low that you'd threaten us with our parents?" I asked Logan.Logan huffed, "Threaten? I don't need to do that. It's just the truth. In the world of hierarchy, it's only normal that you should know your place, isn't it? Think about it. A lowly omega against a superior royal." He checked his watch. "You're wasting my time, Scarlett. Get in.""Let me go, Soph," I whispered to her. "I have to go. It's getting late, and Mom and Dad might be worried. The sooner I settle this, the better."Reluctantly, my twin let go of my hand."Don't drive away. I need to go home with my sister," I told him as I entered the car."Relax, sweetheart. I don't kidnap people," he chuckled.I rolled my eyes inwardly, waiting for him to get to the point. The car model looked newly launched, but the smell of cigarettes polluted the air. The tinted car windows were closed, leaving no room for fresh air."Can we wrap this up
