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

    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

    SCARLETT :I knew my actions were childish. I could have just spoken to him about it, but I cowered and left anyway. Somehow, he always managed to bring tears to my eyes.Soon, he was knocking at my door. I failed to gain the energy to face him. Hoping he would give up, I cried silently. Nevertheless, the noise at my door didn't stop, giving me no other choice than to hold my tears back, wipe the ones that had already fallen, and open the door for him."She made a move on me. I did not want to touch her," he explained.Rather than saying, "yet she touched you, moreover you let her," I just asked why he was late.I know it was a plan. I should not be this hurt after all; I was using him, so why was my chest aching a lot? Why wouldn't the pain go away? Why did I feel like he'd desert me and go back to Rosie? It was possible that he was just trying to be kind and considerate of me to stop me from having any unkind thoughts about him. I really wanted to stop all these intrusive thoughts f

    SCARLETT :Alpha Jax and I spent time away from each other until it was time to practice. He was with Rosie, and I was with Alpha Aaron as we stepped into the music room. All the windows were covered with wine-colored blinds, shielding us from the intensifying heat and light of the sun. The blinds contrasted beautifully against the golden-colored walls. The room was filled with various musical instruments, including a grand piano, a large violin, a flute, and a trumpet.Each instrument stood at the four corners of the room, with a ray of light shining from the slightly open window at the center, making it the focal point of the room. It seemed like whoever stood in that spot would be the star, with the sunlight reflecting their beauty."It's pretty," I mumbled."Of course, it is," Rosie spoke proudly. "Everything here is expensive.""Roseanne," her brother cautioned her.She rolled her eyes in response. "What? She obviously has no shame. Now that Jaxy chose me, she's clinging onto you

    JAX:Scarlett was doing such a good job at riling me up. I explained that I was with Roseanne for a plan. I had no feelings for her. I'd be damned for all eternity if I allowed something that stupid to happen to me. I'd rather quit my status than do that.She, on the other hand, had no good reason to be with Aaron. I did not understand what hold Scarlett had over me. Since when did I start acting like a child?For fifteen minutes, she did not glance at me during dance practice. She kept chatting with Aaron, while on the other hand, I chose to shut my ears to my partner's voice.Soon, his hand was on her face, wiping a tear. Something in me snapped, allowing me to lose my composure.I broke away from Rosie's grip and strode over to them, removing his hand from her. "What do you think you're doing?" I tightened my grip on Aaron's hand."Leave me alone!" Scarlett blared, tears pooling in her eyes."She's crying." Rage consumed me. "What did you do to her?""I think the question should be

    JAX:Just like earlier that day, her eyes did not search for me."I need to speak with you," I communicated with her through our bond. From the way her gorgeous eyes slightly enlarged, I knew she got the message.Soon, Rosie dropped in from the ceiling in a large flower, wrapped in a white dress decorated with silver stones. Her hair was straightened and let down, and her makeup was bold.Her entrance was grand, alright. I went to the flower to receive her, and she gave me a warm smile.As she addressed everyone, Aaron thought it would be an amazing time to tell Scarlett a joke that made her flash him a huge smile and her dimples.She had never smiled that way with me. I've seen tears gather in her eyes and a formal smile, but one where her amber eyes shone while her dimples became visible was something I had never seen before, not until Aaron came along.If I had only made her cry so far, why was she still bent on not breaking the bond? Did she want revenge by torturing me with it be

    SCARLETT :Alpha Aaron spent a lot of time comforting me even when my tears fell for another man. It was my plan, and it hurt so bad. Too bad.Deep down, I knew it would be best to give up now, but how could I? I already started; I'd be a coward not to see it to the end.I called my twin to let her know how right she was."Stop going back and forth, Scar," she told me. "Pick a side now.""I'm trying to," I groaned on the other end of the phone. "I can't come up with a way to get that close to him.""You don't have to go to him. Make him come to you," she replied."How?""Jealousy," I could sense her maliciously grinning."I don't know," my brain glowed in remembrance, and a light bulb appeared above my head. "Alpha Aaron.""Brother of bitch 2.0?" she questioned. The moment I gave Sophie all the details on Rosie, she gave her a well-deserved nickname."Yes, him.""Hmm. Not bad.""You're stroking your chin, aren't you?" I sighed."I hate that you know me so well.""This isn't your detec

    SCARLETT :"I can't get the image of the two of you together out of my mind," I admitted, a part of me wanted to let that go but the pain it brought me refused to fade."Why?" His thumb stroked the exposed skin of my neck."I don't know," I told him. "Make me forget." Without breaking eye contact, I brought his finger with my shaky hands to my trembling lips.I didn't have to say it; my gesture was enough for him to crash his lips onto mine. He fisted my hair gently while I did the same. He shuffled between slow and aggressively passionate. It was almost as if he only wanted to treasure the moment between us. My legs turned to jelly in a millisecond, if it weren't for the support of the wall I'd have fallen on the spot."I've…"Kiss."Always…”Kiss."Wanted to…”Kiss."Touch you again."Every movement sent tingles from my back to my core. Although it seemed momentarily, it gave me the chance to see an opening for a possibility of it all to last forever."Part your lips for me, Scarle

    SCARLETT : A loud bang on the door made my heart skip a beat and jolted me awake. My legs were trapped between Alpha Jax's, who was also awake and tightened his grip on my legs to keep me in place. He signaled for me to stay quiet. I lay back on the bed while the noise continued from outside his door. He had kept his promise about me not being able to walk, as I felt entirely sore. My body ached severely, and though I couldn't see them, I knew there were marks of his teeth all over me. "Jax, come out now!" I heard Rosie's voice. Who else would it be? Both of us had left the party and never returned to the venue. I was naked in his bed, my shoes and jewelry askew, my underwear nowhere to be seen, my dress a rag, my hair rough, my body marked, my lips swollen. There was no excuse. Alpha Jax hadn't signed the alliance. Alpha Aaron could take it back if something were to happen. Roseanne was beautiful, too beautiful to pine over a man who did not love her. Although I was in no posit

    SOPHIE :Three years later, after one too many battles, oppositions, joy, laughter, and trials. We were there at my sister's wedding with her soon-to-be husband."I can't believe they're getting married," I overheard two women gossiping."Right? There are many more eligible women to choose from. I can't believe the council and the grand Luna approve of the marriage," the other woman scowled."I don't believe she's the one who defeated the rogues, just some silly excuse they made up. I'm certain of it!" her friend said to her."And the sister? Birds of the same feather for sure. One for the Beta, the other for the Alpha. They sure know how to spread their wings and legs.""Oh, really." I gasped from behind them. "Do tell me more. What else did the slutty twins do?" I faked enthusiasm."Miss De Luca."I shook my head, waving my fingers in their faces and noses. "It's Zharn Meyer's fiancée to you. You don't like the party? Leave." I rolled my eyes. "Salty noble twerps.""Savage, Sophie!"

    SCARLETT :We arrived safely at the pack house, and I got goosebumps all over my skin. I hadn't been there in forever."Thanks for driving me here," I told my friend."Let me come with you just in case he tries anything," Cage told me."You don't have to. I don't think he will.""You don't know if he actually will. Just let me do this for you. I'm begging you. I'll be there to keep you in check, and the faster, the better, right?""Hm." I nodded my head, getting out of the car.Staff greeted Cage, while giving me second and third stares.I knew about gossip. Sophie did try to hide it from me.The twin seductress.Sleeping with the Alpha, Beta, and Cage. I shuddered as most of them gave me cold stares."Scarlett." I looked up as I entered the Alpha's chambers."Reyes!" I screamed. "Reyes." I said again. I had forgotten about my chef friend.He embraced me. "I'm so happy to see you, my dear friend. You haven't been here in a long time. I heard you resigned. Everything okay?""Yes. I'm g

    SCARLETT :"...It was really bad. I think you should go see him," Sophie pleaded with me."You said it yourself, Sophie. It was really bad," I disagreed. "Why do you think he'd want to see the person who put him in that position? I'm not going to." I looked up from my box of clothes. "Sophie, I don't get you sometimes. You would usually be happy with my decision, why do you seem displeased?""Well, that was before I realized you two look miserable without each other. I'm technically giving you a great solution," she shrugged. "If you're not going to get back together with him, you might as well break the bond.""I was planning to. I'll apologize and end things once and for all. It's for the best," I folded my lips into a thin line before releasing them. "And hey, are you going to help me pack or what?""On it," she continued folding my clothes."It's for the best," I told myself, chanting until I believed it."You know, seeing him wrecked like that made me feel awful.

    ZHARN:The fear that wrapped me in its fingers was indescribable when I heard what Scarlett did to Jax. I was afraid that it was the same with Sophie. All that worry consumed me, and I needed space to think. I'll never regret fighting for us. I promised her, and that is exactly what I'll do.She looked cute in her tight black top and jeans. Sophie is a sight for sore eyes.I'm in love with this woman. This beautiful, unfiltered, badass woman. Everyone who disagrees about our union can respectfully jump in the ocean.My phone rang just before I revved the engines.I was surprised to see Hensley on the screen; this man rarely calls me. It made a feeling rise in my chest, one that I could not shake off.I glanced at Sophie before picking up."Hensley," I said into the phone."Sir Zharn. I need to come to the Alpha's cabin. He has an awful fever, he's drunk as well. I've never seen him this way, and I don't -""I'll be there," I cut the call."What happened?" Sophie searched my eyes."Jax

    SOPHIE :"Hi," I stood in front of the house as Zharn came to pick me up."Hey," he stood in front of his car in a sports jacket on top of a black shirt, jeans, and Converse. He looked like a hot teenager. It was so appealing to see.I squealed as I ran towards him, jumping on him. "I missed you," I confessed.It had been a week since Scarlett returned, since Zharn walked out the door with his best friend, and I thought I lost the one man I fell in love with, not until he called me.I remembered the trepidation in his voice as he asked me again over the phone, "Do you love me?"I found it as a silly question, but I understood where he was coming from, especially with his past. I would have a hint of doubt too if I were the one. Scarlett kept rooting for me all the way, and it made me sad that she had to go through all she has because of the De Vaunt family."I miss you too," my legs were still circled around his waist. He brought my head down to kiss me."Ahem!" My father cleared his

    SCARLETT :"Jax, wait!" I ran after him."Scarlett, come back here," my father screamed, but I ignored him."Jax!" I followed him down the stairs."I don't think we should be speaking to each other after that. I hurt you, I'm sorry I was a jerk." The pain in his voice made my stomach knot. He sounded so genuine. "I cannot turn that night back, and I want to now, so badly even. That way I'd make a better decision of paying you off in exchange for breaking the bond-""You think you can write me off with money?" Tears streamed down my face."I don't know! It's just that now I'd do anything to change it. One stupid mistake has clearly damaged us. I've fallen in love with you. You've got your revenge, and so I hope that you are happy." He walked out the door.I fell to my knees and broke into sobs."No, please." I've fallen in love with you too."Scarlett, get off the floor," my father commanded me."N-no, I-"Sophie helped me up. "You were going to have to let him know the truth at some p

    SCARLETT :"Scarlett!" Everyone screamed as I got out of the jeep. It was a long drive. We escaped the black shadow in the morning, and we got back around 3 am the next morning.Everyone enveloped me in a hug. I wasn't sure if my whole being was enough for them to embrace. We all shed tears.My father kissed my forehead. "I'm so sorry I let you go alone."I shook my head fervently. "No, please, it isn't your fault.""What happened to your face?" My mother poked the bruise gently, and I hissed.My father's eyes raged. "Who did this to my daughter?""Thank you for bringing her home, Cage." Scarlett hugged him deeply. "I owe you so much. Thank you, thank you.""No, you owe me nothing," Cage disagreed."What do you mean?" My father left me as José, Elena, Adrianne, Estelle, Jean, Lennie, and Courte dragged me back and forth between them, arguing on who searched for me the most. "Cage, I owe you my life. My daughters and wife are everything to me, and you brought my Scarlett back to me, so

    SCARLETT :"Not before I raid a place I've had my eye on," Tiffany said.I frowned. What? "Whoa, hold up. I know you have your issues, and I get that, but you gave me your word to take me to the border. What you just did was wrong, and you know it." I should've just coaxed her into helping me, but her attitude wasn't helping. "You can't just break into people's houses, steal wallets, and eat pretzels."She folded her arms, her expression hardening. Here we go again."We saved you last night, and this is how you repay me? Without us, you'd be dead." Her glare cut through me like a blade. "You don’t even know me, and you're making assumptions.""I'm not—""I don't need help," she snapped. "I’m fifteen, and I hold my own just fine. You wanna get to the border? Fine. Find your own way!" She spun on her heels and stormed off.Panic flared in my chest. She was my only way out. I couldn't let her leave."Tiffany!" I called, rushing after her."Get away from me, you righteous goddess," she bi

    SCARLETT :"Good luck with your messed-up fantasies then. She's. Not. Here." I heard the annoyance in her voice. Tiffany sounded pissed.After a few more thuds, they left, and I could breathe. For a short while, I heard notice, and panic filled me. There were many possibilities; I just didn't want the negatives to override the positives."Think lightly, Scarlett," my wolf chided.The darkness did not scare me; nothing did as much as the thought of the people who gave me a place to hide being in trouble. They saved me.Amidst my conflicting thoughts, the passage to the doorway opened, and I recoiled back, clinging to the knife Turner gave me."Hey, hey, hey, Scarlett." My name rolled off Turner's tongue smoothly."Hey," I smiled, breathing heavily."They're gone," he told me. "Come down."He instructed me, guiding me through the heavy boxes."Thank you," I told him."Yeah, yeah," Tiffany stood by the door, rolling her eyes.
