SCARLETT :

"Help," I said in my head, as if anyone would actually come to save me.

On second thought, maybe it was good for me. Who would want me after this anyway?

"Scarlett." A distant voice called out to me.

This was it.

I was dying.

"Scarlett!" Logan's voice thundered, making me flinch.

And my eyes opened.

Worried blue eyes stared back at mine.

"Scarlett." Cage cupped my face. "Are you okay?"

I nodded frantically.

Sweat trickled down my forehead.

It was a dream. It wasn't real.

I swallowed hard, holding onto my throat lightly.

Cage abruptly got up and returned with a glass of water. "Drink up."

My hands shook with no limits, preventing me from holding onto the cup properly. It fell from my hand and broke into pieces.

"I'm so sorry," I shrieked.

Tears pooled in my eyes again.

Damn it, if I could just not get emotional for one fucking day!

"It's fine."

"No." I reached to pick up the glass without picking. A piece of it cut through my thumb.

"Scar, please!" He held my hand. "Breathe.

    SCARLETT :Almost a month had gone by since the incident. I had my hair chopped off to my shoulders and had Soph dye it red. Everyone thought I looked like a rebel, but for me, it was to help me forget those memories. Sometimes I still felt my hair being dragged. It being short gave me a sense of safety I could not comprehend. I believed I was recovering fair enough. I was back with my parents who made a little feast to celebrate our return. Papa was particularly vexed about us being away from home for that long."Next time, fake being sick," he told us. "Every day I had to brace myself not to go throw a fit at the pack house."Our very honest papa was asking his girls to lie so we could be home. No shocker. He called more often than our mother did.

    SCARLETT :"I didn't tell Mom that I now work with Harrison Cage," I communicated with my sister through looks and our eyes.And what did my sister do?She shrugged!"It's our new friend, Mama," she told our mother with bustling energy."A friend with a luxurious means of transport?"We both shrugged, giving her the same grin."And what's with Scarlett today?""I'm trying something new.""She's trying something new," my sister and I replied coincidentally."Girls, I made pancakes," my dad held the pan in one hand. "Scarlett," my dad chirped. "You look amazing. Trying something new?""Yup," I nodded in affirmation."Just give me a minute to pack your lunch boxes," he held his index finger up."Honey, our girls have a new friend with a really expensive car," my mother blurted.Trust my sister to give her THE LOOK. The "are you kidding me, Ma?" look. Well, we didn't expect her to tell our dad."Don't tell your friend to keep waiting outside, bring her inside."Overprotective papa mode ac

    SCARLETT :"What's up with those two?" I asked Cage, ignoring the heavy gaze on me."Now that you're working with me, you'll see it very often. They do this all the time. I wonder if they ever get tired," he replied, changing the subject and looking behind me. "Jax, stop standing like an ominous spirit. You're giving me the creeps.""It's none of your business where I stay," the Alpha coldly replied. "I wouldn't be standing here if I understood what the hell is going on."My back was still turned to him. I thought I had mentally prepared myself to face him again, but it turned out I wasn't anywhere close to ready."What do you mean?" Cage inquired."Scarlett," my name rolled off his tongue smoothly. "I take it he just dropped you off at work?"What game was he playing at?I had clearly submitted a letter of resignation the other day. If he thought I'd be okay with both of us breathing the same air again, he needed to get his facts checked. And fast.I spun around on my heels, literall

    SCARLETT :My awesome new friend made sure that I was comfortable working with him.For my sake, Cage had another table and office chair set up along with a system installed for me in the corner of his office. For my comfort, he allowed me into his semi-private space, just like he did with his apartment.Thankfully, the office was big enough that it could accommodate eight office chairs and tables, although it was a little smaller than the Alpha's office. It was comfortable.The tables and shelves where his books were kept were made of dark ebony wood, the chairs were leather and soft. Three dark velvet chairs had a dark glass table in the center, and the marble floors looked squeakily clean, reflecting my image.We went through his schedule together, and he offered to take Sophie and me out for lunch so she could guide me through some of the work I had to do.

    TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL CONTENT IN THIS CHAPTER SCARLETT : It had only been a week since I found out who my mate was. I was still in shock after knowing that I was fated to the Alpha of my pack; Alpha Jax. It was a day after my eighteenth birthday and the day I got my wolf. I caught glimpses of him when he came around the pack house, but I didn't dare move near him. How could I? I was an Omega, the weakest of my pack. I mean, one of the weakest of my pack. The powerful wedded the powerful, and the weak ones got each other. Just like my parents did, passing on the misfortune to me. However, luck seemed to embrace me enough to think of me as worthy of a man like Alpha Jax. All that was left was for him to accept me. I gulped at the thought. There was a hundred percent chance that he would reject me on the spot. At least, that was what I thought until he invited me to his place. My hands shook with trepidation, but my wolf comforted me. "It'll be fine, he's your mate, and you're de

    SCARLETT :If only he hadn't touched me as if he truly desired me. If only he had been upfront about it when I arrived at his cabin, maybe the hurt wouldn't have been so bitter.The look in his eyes was vastly different from the one he had when he was on top of me. I could have sworn I wasn't imagining it, but who's to say?"You can't do this to me," I croaked, a tear streaming down my cheek. "Not after what we just did.""You wanted it too, Scarlett," he smirked like the devil. "You had the chance to push me away, but you didn't, did you? If you don't want to freshen up in my bathroom, that's fine. You can just go home. The chauffeur will be waiting.""Why?" I sobbed. "You can't be serious. That was my first time."I saw his eyes soften for a moment before returning to their stern expression. "I thought so too from the way you lay flat like a board." He moved closer to me, towering over my frame. "If you think that would be enough to trap me, you're pitifully wrong." His words seeped

    SCARLETT :The next day, I registered an application as the kitchen's main chef and chief server for the Alpha's kitchen. It was a whole competition. I had expected it. Anyone would want to work close to him. Pleasing Alpha Jax could lead to earning a small favor from him or so I heard.Three days later, I was given a letter to participate. The best chef would win the spot."Are you sure you don't want to get a job elsewhere? As much as the Alpha gives favors when he's pleased which is rare, he gets upset when his steak isn't properly made. The last chef and his assistant quit three days after the appointment." My mother's eyes creased with worry. Sophie and I got blonde hair from our mother, while our amber-green eyes from our dad who had brown hair."Your mom's right, Hun." My dad said out of concern. "We all know you're a softie. You might not be able to handle his criticisms. One of the cleaners at the pack house ran back home in tears and begged her parents to let her quit after

    SCARLETT :I was to resume two days before the Alpha returned to the pack house. His personal assistant arrived ahead of time to give us a tour and inform us of his menu for the week.Standing at 5'11, with dark hair and brown eyes, Mr. Hensley Victor, the Alpha's personal assistant, had a large scowl on his face."I am Scarlett De Luca," I introduced myself."I'm Reyes Von," the Chief Chef introduced himself."Nice to meet you," Mr Hensley replied."Thank you, Mr. Hensley," I smiled."Please, call me Victor," he told us. His voice seemed calm, but his expression was stern. "I don't like being called Hensley.""Yes, Sir Victor," we chorused."Since you two passed the last stage, I have no worries regarding the steak. In the past, it wasn't a requirement to know the recipe before getting the job, but due to previous issues, we had to implement that. The recipe can be difficult to follow."I could only wonder what the grand Luna was thinking when she made the recipe."Thank you, sir," w

    SCARLETT :Harrison Cage turned a deaf ear to all my excuses, and we ended up staying at his place.His lifestyle was no different from any other person of high ranking. His place was just a simple-looking apartment, yet everything about it screamed luxuriously. The neatly white-painted walls had exquisite art on everything, and the sofas were too soft and plush not to cost a fortune. It had a mini bar with a shelf of glass souvenirs next to it.The flat-screen TV in the living room seemed like it was meant for movies, and the cream rugs felt so good against my feet that I kept rubbing them on the rug throughout my stay.He gave Sophie and me separate rooms, but we agreed on sharing a room. I begrudgingly took his offer; he did not have to give up the nice rooms in his apartment for us. That seemed utterly ridiculous to me. Moreover, I believed that would give us the chance to talk about her new friend whose family owned a chain of hotels, yet she'd bail on me using work, and we'd end

    JAX:Two weeks of hell. That's how much Scarlett's absence affected me. It was by chance that I managed to secure the last alliance, especially considering that I was unable to pull myself together. If someone had told me two months ago that I would miss another human being this much, I would have laughed and bet my title that I wouldn't. Scarlett didn't just leave me; she left her presence to haunt me. My cabin smelled of vanilla. I saw her doe-like amber eyes, beautiful pure blonde hair, and pink pouty lips every time I closed my eyes.There was so much I had planned to do with her until I figured things out. I hadn't told her how good her cooking was. I was reluctant to eat her food at first because I didn't want to trust her. The first time I did, it was like nothing I had ever tasted. Damn, I missed the way she tugged on her lower lip when she was upset. I missed running my fingers through her soft locks. I missed how peaceful she looked when she slept. So fragile, so easily brea

    SCARLETT :I was grateful that my sister took a stand for me when I was unable to, yet a question pricked my heart. Where would we go? There was no way I could show my face to my parents, especially when my right leg still hurts to move.Sophie packed my things, I mean the things the Alpha sent to me."Leave the clothes," I told her. "I don't want to take anything that's his with me.""You're right." Sophie dropped the clothes on the floor. "What about the one you're wearing?"She gestured to the floral blue gown ending just above my knees."I'll just have it returned," I sighed."We should get out of here before the bitch queen gets back," she rolled her eyes."Soph," I cautioned her with glaring eyes."What? The worst she could do is behead me."My voice softened. "I'm so sorry.""You better be," she scoffed. "You should've given her a good verbal lashing before I did. You're supposed to be a savage, Scar!""Soph," I failed to stop myself from bursting into tears."Hey!" She yelled.

    SCARLETT :The last thing I remembered before I passed out was Logan's dreadful face as he ripped my clothes off while I hopelessly called for help.How I ended up in one of the rooms in the royal pack house remained a mystery. The room oozed a hospital scent, but a nicer one, the type of room that would be given to royalty. The room was painted white with gold accents embellished on the walls. The bed I lay on felt so soft, not only that, but it was spacious too, so large I was certain ten people could sleep comfortably on it.I had made up my mind to finally end things. I had damaged myself in the process, ruined my life all for nothing. Alpha Jax was right to have called it off the night he did. Had I been satisfied and not covetous, I wouldn't have laid down with my body limped, scarred, and bruised in a place that isn't meant for someone like me.I had Sophie lie to my parents about where we were. I sensed they didn't believe it, however, I had some peace of mind as Alpha Jax sen
