Her mate and her best friend betrayed her. She realises that he never loved her. She learns that he was the one who killed her pack. And now he was going to kill her… She regrets not listening to Gavin, the only one who cared about her. The only one who was truly trying to protect her. The only true friend she really had. She regrets that she pushed him to his death. But it was too late…  Her mate succeeds in killing her, but then she was sent back in time to when it all began. Her loved ones were alive again. Her parents, her companions… even Gavin.  This time she was determined to save her pack from her enemies. She wasn't going to let Georgette and Michael prevail. She works with the only one she could trust - Gavin.  Little did she think she would find herself falling into the abyss of love again. And this time it's not Michael.

Betrayed

Scarlett's pov

"Oh, man," I gasped, trying to contain the fresh feelings and emotions. I was forfeiting to the sinful desires burning in my heart. 

He lifted one leg on his shoulder and ran his tongue over the slit. 

"Baby girl, you taste so good," he growled. 

I grabbed his shoulder, my nails digging into his skin. 

I woke up, startled and looked around. When I saw the familiar surroundings, I breathed out in relief. It was just a dream. But it seemed to be so real and for a moment I thought I was cheating on my mate and enjoying it. 

And that too with Gavin who was long gone. 

I pushed my thoughts to the side and gathered the papers on Michael's desk. He must have left for the meeting without me when I fell asleep on the couch. I was about to put them away when something peculiar caught my eye

My lips parted. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Right in front of me lay the papers that proved that Michael, my mate, had sent out the orders to kill me. 

But why? I couldn't understand…

I should have listened to Gavin when he warned me about him. He was one of the personal security guards my father appointed to me back in the Crimson Crescent pack. He accompanied me when I arrived at the Sapphire Moon pack after I met my mate. Gavin was a trustworthy friend and a protective brother who looked out for me, but I chose to doubt him. I screamed at him, accused him of being jealous, and pushed him away. Well, Michael was my mate after all and I thought I could trust him. 

Months after that incident, Gavin was found guilty of treason. Though my heart told me that he would never betray the pack, the proof told us otherwise. Nonetheless, even after his execution, my conscience kept ringing like a bell. It kept telling me that he was framed.

Blinking away the tears that stung my eyes, I frantically browsed through the papers he had hidden in a drawer of his office desk. After seeing proof of Michael's betrayal, I had a feeling that my conscience was right. Gavin was innocent. 

My heart raced in my chest as I rummaged through the drawer, trying to find anything that might tell me the truth. I knew that time was limited and that I should flee if I didn't want his assassins to find me. Yet, I needed proof. I needed to see with my own eyes. As I scoured through the drawers, one particular heading written in fat black letters caught my attention. 

Torch Crimson Crescent pack….

My eyes widened. Torch Crimson Crescent? Did he really have a hand in the destruction of my original pack? 

I forgot to breathe. How could I forget the worst day of my life? The day I thought my life was perfect turned out to be the most disastrous day I could ever think of. My parents returned to their pack after the Luna ceremony and the next day, news of great devastation reached our ears. 

The Crimson Crescent was destroyed in a massive fire. No one survived. Not even the young pups. For the past one and a half years, I was positive that it was a natural forest fire that went out of control, but now…

A sudden bang startled me. I knew what that meant. The assassins were here. Gasping, I jerked up, dropping the papers on the floor,r and dashed towards the window. I looked outside. The entire place was deserted. 

Perfect. 

I opened the sliding door and without any hesitation, I jumped outside. I was a fully trained warrior before I became a luna of the Sapphire Moon pack, after all. I stumbled onto the soft earth, yet, was soon able to compose my posture. 

"Scarlett!" I heard my best friend's voice. Feeling relieved, I turned around to see her staring at me with widened eyes. She and Gavin were the only ones who survived the Crimson Crescent fire because they were with me in Sapphire Moon. Though Gavin was no longer with us, Georgette was and I knew that I couldn't leave her in this place full of traitors. I rushed towards her. I wanted to drag her away from the Sapphire Moon territory. I wanted to save her from them. If Michael could kill me, I knew that he wouldn't hesitate to end her life too

"You…" 

"Shhh," I hushed her and covered her mouth. "No time to explain. We need to leave! Now!"

She yanked my hand. "Wait! Scarlett, I need to tell you something!" 

"Not now, Georgette!"

"But strange people wearing black masks are lurking in the woods! If we go in there, they might catch us!" 

I froze, wondering if they could be Michael's assassins. 

"What?" I breathed out. 

Nodding her head, she pulled me towards the back door of the pack house. "This way. If we must leave, we must escape through the secret exit in the pantry."

I believed her and followed her to the pantry. We ran hand in hand until we reached the little opening in front of the pack house. There was an exit that the pack members seldom used. 

That's it. We were leaving. 

At least that was what I thought until two muscular hands grabbed me. 

"Hey!" I screamed, struggling against them with all my might. "Let me go!" 

A male voice interrupted me. "You talk too much." 

My heart skipped a beat. I knew that voice. That was him. Michael. My wolf howled in agony when the betrayal of our mate became more factual. I looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of my best friend. Did they catch her too? 

What I saw shocked me beyond words could convey. I saw her… in his arms… smiling deviously at me as I helplessly struggled against the assassins. I cast a glance at my mate. His face was cold and hard to read. The grey eyes which I lovingly gazed into numerous times held nothing but hatred as he glared at me. 

Mate… he was my mate… but why was he holding her in his arms?

Rendered speechless by what I was witnessing, I stared blankly as Georgette stood on her tippy toes to place a soft kiss, square on his lips. 

Mine! He was supposed to be mine!

"Surprised? Well, I think it is only fair that you know before you die. Michael and I have been in love way before he met you and as you know, three people in a relationship is too crowded," she smirked, as though she was taunting me. 

A massive lump in my throat made it hard for me to speak, yet, I gulped it down. I wanted to know why they were doing this to me. He could have simply rejected me and we could have lived our lives. But he chose to have me and everyone who I cared about slaughtered. 

"Wh… why?" I croaked. 

He snickered. "I hate you and your pathetic pack. Why? That's for me to know."

He shifted his gaze towards the assassins who were standing right behind me. He despised me for reasons I most probably would never find out. He was plotting against me the whole time and I thought he loved me unconditionally. I was wrong. He massacred my pack. He took everything away from me.

I looked at the two traitors despite my vision continuing to blur as realisation hit me like a ton of bricks. They did it together. They took advantage of my love and trust. They backstabbed me while I did nothing except love and care for them. 

Oh, how I wished that I hadn't ignored the signs. The signs told me that my mate was cheating on me. But I was stupid and naive. I didn't expect that the two people who I trusted the most would stab me in the back. And I believed Georgette when she told me that I was most probably over working. I had once complained about a sharp pain that affected my entire body. 

Trembling as my rage reached its peak, I looked at him. 

"I hate you," I whispered as angry tears rolled down my cheeks. "I hate you both and I wish that you will never get what you desire in life!" 

They laughed, mocking me. The desire to avenge them for everything that they had done burned in my heart, yet, I guess it was too late. I didn't have anything. No parents, family, not even a friend who would help me. Moreover, I was at their mercy. With three assassins holding me down and two other holding guns to my temples, I was barely able to move. 

Michael threw a weary look at me. The hatred in his eyes didn't dissipate as he signalled to his men to end my life. 

"Kill her," he said. 

They dragged me outside and tied me to a pole, where the rest of the pack members had gathered. From their faces, I could see that they were enraged. 

"Kill the traitor!" 

"Kill her!" 

"End her life!" 

I didn't know what they were told, but from the sounds of it, they were lied to. Most probably, I was framed for something I wasn't aware of… just like Gavin…

Tears of remorse gathered in my eyes. Oh, how I wished I could turn back time. I would certainly make smarter choices. How I wished I trusted Gavin, my true friend when I had the time. How I wished that I hadn't pushed him away. All five assassins pointed their guns at me, just as I looked up at the sky.

"I'm sorry, Gavin…" I managed to whisper right before the gunshots rang through the air. 

I squeezed my eyes shut, anticipating the burning agony that would result from pure silver bullets. I expected to undergo excruciating pain right before my soul left my body. I didn't cry. I kept myself poised, wishing for a day that my innocence would be uncovered.

All of a sudden everything ceased. Time seemed to come to a standstill. I felt no pain and the furious shrieks of the pack members vanished. Everything was too peaceful. And the smell… it almost smelled like… home… 

I winced. Perhaps I was dead. Maybe this was what being dead felt like. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. Too scared to make a sudden movement, I remained still on my bed… wait… my bed? 

My lips parted as I scanned the place. 

Pretty maroon pillows…. the books on the shelves… the carefully arranged shoes and even the posters on the walls… Why did heaven look so much like my old room in the Crimson Crescent pack? 

Bewildered, I sat up and looked around. Was this truly heaven? Or perhaps, I was in hell. But wasn't hell supposed to be nothing but fire?

The door opened. I felt as though my heart stopped beating when I saw my mother's ever-smiling face. 

Wait… perhaps this really was heaven… 

"M…mom…" I croaked, trying hard not to cry. 

"There she is! Are you excited about today?" 

I frowned, unsure of what she was talking about. 

"Huh?"

Clicking her tongue and chuckling to herself, she waved her hand and shook her head. "Silly girl. It's your twentieth birthday! And all the alphas from the neighbouring packs are arriving this evening to attend a special event…" 

I went numb. My mother continued to speak, yet I could no longer hear a word she said. 

Twentieth birthday? Alphas? Event? 

I knew what was coming next. It was the evening I found my 'mate'. The evening I thought my life was finally complete. The evening that I foolishly embarked on the journey that marked the destruction of my life and my pack. 

I scanned my mother's face. But how was that possible? We all died. Could we have really gone back in time?

"Mom," I cut her off. 

"Yes, sweety." 

"What year is it?" 

She chuckled. "Why, it's 2020. You are asking silly questions, honey. Now hurry and freshen up. We have a lot of work." 

I stared at her retreating back, stupefied. She closed the door behind her. 

2020? I wondered in disbelief.

The sound of my phone beeping took me out of my thoughts. It was the alarm. After turning it off, I reluctantly checked the time and date. 

6:00 am, 23rd July 2020 

So it was true…

I covered my face and dropped onto the mattress, groaning out loud. 

"Not again!"

Nostalgic
Scarlett's pov The invitations were sent over a week ago and there was no way my father would cancel the ceremony. Not after preparing for it so much. Waves of nostalgia were making me nauseous as I helplessly watched the all too familiar scenes unfolding in front of me. I knew how it ended. I was going to spend the entire day getting pampered and dolled up for the ceremony. The only difference was I wasn't joyful like I was the last time. I managed to sneak out of the packhouse and go for a little walk outside. I knew my mom would probably go bonkers if she ever found out that I had left. Still, I needed some time to myself. I knew she wouldn't understand the sudden change in my attitude. How could she? I was looking forward to this day for the entire month. I wished I had the power to stop everything from happening. I wished that I could cease the preparations. I needed to reverse what had happened to me. To us… the whole Crimson Crescent. Though I maintained a forced smile on m

Run Away
Scarlett's povIn an effort to go as far away from the packhouse as possible, I ventured further into the woods. I wanted to hide until the ceremony was completed even though I didn't want to run from my pack. But hiding within the Pack's boundary meant that they would be able to find me. My father wouldn't leave a stone unrolled when he realised that I was gone. I continued to walk until I got close to the pack's boundaries. I crouched in a bush and peered around, knowing that my father's scouts would be on alert while they were on duty.I knew that staying in the premises of the pack My father's warriors would sniff me out and drag me back to the packhouse if they ever realised that I was hiding there. If I wanted to avoid attending the ceremony, I would have to cross the border undetected and wait in the unclaimed part of the forest until the ceremony ended. I hoped that then, I could avoid meeting Michael, my so-called mate.Perhaps my life would be different then. I saw the guar

Him?
Scarlett's povNo, no, no this cannot be happening.My heart thudded in my chest as I hesitantly turned around to face the all-so-familiar face of my mate. Back then I thought he was the most handsome male I had laid my eyes on. That day he took my breath away. Little did I know that he was secretly planning to take my breath away for real. I couldn't help but drool over him as I happily accepted him as my soulmate. My heart was soaring high as Iris shrieked out the confirmation that he was indeed my soulmate. However, today, I heard nothing but silence. Iris didn't utter a word. She didn't even stir in my head and all I felt was fear and repulsion when I laid my eyes on his ridiculously handsome face.I gulped as I made eye contact with him. With his entire body tensed, he was staring right at me. His eyes were dilated and he looked as though he was ready to pounce on me. I anxiously looked around to glimpse at the spectators. As I expected, they all looked thrilled. Finding one's m

Reject Him
Scarlett's pov. The agony roused me up from my sleep. My chest pain and the severe headaches had returned. Even in my past life, I had to endure the same pain repeatedly. I was diagnosed with a disease I never heard of at the time by the pack doctor. He called it a name that was entirely foreign to me. I was gullible and believed every word they told me. As months passed by the pain became a part of my daily life. It became so intense that I started to fear that my sickness was getting worse. This time, though, I had an epiphany as to its true nature. There was no way that this illness suddenly manifested itself after I met him. There could be only one possible explanation. Michael was sleeping with someone else. And who else could that someone be, other than my "beloved" bestie? Gritting my teeth, I grasped my stomach and waited for the ache to expire. Those traitors… it felt like they were having the time of their lives. The pain seemed to last for an eternity until I was finall

Unaccepted Rejection
Scarlett's povInstant silence spread in the air and everyone turned to look at me. No… They all stared at me in disbelief. My father seemed to be dumbfounded while my mom's jaw dropped open. Michael's forehead was creased into a deep frown. The silence stretched and Michael's gaze seemed to drill holes in me, but I wasn't intimidated by him. I hated him with a passion. I looked at Georgette who seemed to be shocked, just like everyone else. Michael looked around and forced a laugh. "Nice one, Scarlett. I didn't know my mate liked to crack jokes," he said and the tension in the air seemed to break. The crowd laughed anxiously. Some of them went back to eating their food but I noticed how tense Georgette still was.I narrowed my eyes at Michael. "No, I'm not joking. I mean it, Michael Pierre. I reject you because you cheated on me!" "Honey," my mom rose to her feet and scurried towards me. "Do you realise what you are saying? Why are you accusing Alpha Michael like this?" My fath

So Wrong But Feels So Right
Scarlett's pov It's been two days since I rejected him. Doctors ruled out any potential illnesses and said I was in great shape. Gavin tried to hack into Georgette's phone but was unsuccessful. It made me wonder if I ought to make an effort to peek. The trouble was, I no longer wanted to be around her. I avoided her company in favour of hanging with the omegas or staying in my room. For a while, I was relieved that my parents stopped bringing Michael up. As usual, life continued, but I couldn't help feeling uneasy about the future. The catch, though, was that they were expert liars. There was no hint of impending doom at all. Someone knocked on the door. "It's open." A stout omega opened the door and offered a motherly smile. "Ma'am, the alpha is asking for you," she said, trying to smoothen the creases of her apron as she spoke. "Dad? Okay. Where is he?" "In the conference room," she said. I knitted my eyebrows together. The conference room? That sounded like a formal

At The Waterfall
Scarlett's povI went numb in his arms. His eye colour seemed to shift between hazel and pitch black, as though his wolf was trying to take over. He pulled me closer to him and much to my surprise, his scent was captivating. Not that I had any complaints. I inhaled, allowing his cinnamon and warm honey scent to invade my nerves. My mouth watered at the sight of his luscious lips and a desire to run my tongue over them arose in my heart. Was that normal? I gulped. For some reason, I couldn't push him away. I enjoyed being in his arms. He licked his lips and slowly let go of me, almost as though he was reluctant to do it. Even after he let me stand on my feet, I couldn't stop staring at him. So many things didn't make sense to me. Why was I feeling all of these strange emotions towards him all of a sudden? My heart rate wouldn't slow down and I could only wish that my breathing was normal. Pursing his lips, he shifted his weight on his feet. "I'm sorry. I… uh… was trying to help…"

Gavin's Past
Gavin's povShe heaved a breath and looked away when I asked her about her wolf. "Gavin. I don't know if you will ever be ready to hear me out or fathom what I know. But I have seen and heard enough to be convinced of what I believe in. You have noticed a massive change in my attitude and behaviour and it isn't without a good reason. I trust you and I will tell you everything. But can you just put faith in me at the moment? My wolf is part of whatever is going on…" Her forehead creased as she chewed on her lower lip - something she did whenever she was anxious. She then cast a pleading look at me. "This is a lot for me to accept. Before I tell everything to someone else, I need to digest it myself. Please, Gavin. A bit more time?" I had a sneaking suspicion that what she knew was crucial, but I nodded my head anyway. After dropping her off in the packhouse, I went back to my place. The sweet memories of the time I got to spend with her, lingered in my mind. After having something

Interested... Not!
Scarlett's pov "Hello, pretty lady," Michael cast the signature smirk that used to make my heart flutter. "You?!" I was appalled to see him but didn't want to make a scene in front of everyone. I couldn't believe that my own parents had tricked me into going on a blind date with that moron. I better plot a way to escape."I am so glad that you agreed to meet me, Scarlett," he said, sitting down beside me at the table and grabbing my hand. To my relief, the sparks had significantly reduced. It was as good as gone for good. Perhaps my rejection did have an impact on our bond even if he didn't accept it.I yanked my hand away. "I don't like to be touched. Besides, I'm here only because I was tricked into coming. If I knew that you were meeting me, I wouldn't have come."He frowned. It made me wonder if he also noticed the lessened significance of the sparks. Those tiny sparks were the irrefutable proof of a sacred bond formed between two souls. The decrease in those sparks could mean
