Beyond My Mate's Betrayal Embarrassed
ChapterScarlett's povHis body tensed at once. "Huh?" My eyes flung open as soon as I realised that I had said that out loud. Horrified, I let go of him and stepped back. Damn it! Why didn't I have better control over my body?"I'm so sorry… I didn't mean to be disrespectful… I made haste to get away! For a while there, I was hoping to fade into the background. If only I had superpowers. I didn't, however. To make matters worse, I couldn't shift to my wolf. She didn't even talk to me. Except for being able to mentally connect with the other members of my pack and having heightened senses, I was no better than a human."Star," he called but I ignored him. He must have thought I was immoral to say such a thing. I mean… who says something like that to her own bodyguard?He called my name, but I was too ashamed to respond. As Gavin stood there in disbelief on his lawn, I slammed the door to my car and sped off.When I finally reached my house, I made a beeline for my bedroom. My parent

Scarlette's pov I stared at him for a long time. Did he say that he wanted to be my mate? I breathed out. "We both know that mate bonds don't work that way," I told him regretfully though my heart kept screaming otherwise.Oh, how I wished that it was normalised to choose mates in our world. But no. Rejections, choosing the person you want to love was badly frowned upon in all the werewolf packs. We were supposed to wait for our mates. Even if it took an entire lifetime. He sighed. He knew what I meant. "But you have rejected him. Can't we just… I don't know… Have some fun?" I was a little surprised to hear him say that. Fun? Well, that sounded interesting. I wouldn't mind having 'fun' with this fine specimen. The thought curled a mischievous smile on my face. Snickering under my breath, "fun?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders. "Humans do it all the time. I mean I like you…" he suddenly trailed off and his eyes went wide. Wait… He liked me? That's even more interesting. "Sor

Scarlette's pov I failed to squeeze any information out from Georgette during lunch but left the eatery with questions arising in my heart for which I wanted answers. Did he really like me? But then why would he like an insufferable snob? I hadn't been anything but rude towards him until recently. Besides, he couldn't have lost all hope of his mate being dead even if his pack was massacred, could he? I mean, his mate could be from another pack… he was an alpha, after all.My eyebrows knitted together as I thought about it. I shook my head and pushed the thoughts away. Nah… he couldn't like me like that. He wouldn't. He was professional at what he did and wouldn't do something stupid like falling for me. That was just not happening. As hurtful as it was to me, I decided never to ponder over it ever again. I had more pressing issues that needed urgent attention - like Michael trying to torch the Crimson Crescent. As I walked through the parking lot towards my car, my phone rang. I

Gavin's povI wouldn't lie, I was taken aback when she crashed her lips on mine, yet, my body seemed to welcome it wholeheartedly. Akela jumped for joy and teased me for being a sucker and freezing on the spot. He liked her and so did I. But we both knew that she didn't belong to us, so we stayed away. Nonetheless, ever since that kiss, Akela's attachment to her magnified… okay maybe I also was feeling a bit more protective over her.During the time we spent together, I tried to make her laugh as much as I could, just so I could hear her melodious voice. When she laughed, her blue eyes would sparkle like two sapphires and I thought that was the most beautiful sight I could see. As we spent more and more time together, I realised that I had failed to prevent my heart from leaning towards her. The air seemed fresher when she was around. Everything seemed better when I was with her. The world was just a better place when she was around.When night fell and we were no longer together, I

Gavin's pov The party was held in the open ground and the place was packed. It was a clear night. The bright supermoon illuminated the sky. Most of the invitees were unmated females and their guards - either a trusted warrior from their pack or their gamma. Everyone except me seemed to have a great time. Neither me nor my wolf were able to calm down until another girl was announced as the alpha's mate. She was a girl from his own pack. Everyone seemed to be ecstatic. No problems arose. Various attendees asked the females to dance with them and Akela kept pushing me to ask her for a dance, but I ended up blocking him. I mean, I was there as her bodyguard. It would be so weird if we started to dance. I wished that I could ask her for one dance, but I chose not to. I didn't want to give the pack members a reason to spread rumours. "May I ask the fair lady for a dance." I knew that voice… I snapped my head towards the speaker. My fury skyrocketed when I saw that it was that loser - M
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Beyond My Mate's Betrayal Make up for the past
Scarlett's pov I was so glad that we successfully got rid of Michael this time. I remembered attending the same celebration in my past life. By then I had accepted Michael as my mate but hadn't moved into his pack. I had arrived with him to the ceremony as his date. Back then, I was flattered when he asked me to be his plus one. I was ecstatic when he arrived in his limousine and gave me a bunch of red roses. I was delighted when he displayed possessive protection over me. I was glad that I got to spend time with my mate instead of Gavin who was bugging me to no end. That time I got angry at Gavin for following me in his car, regardless of knowing that he was only doing his job. I reckoned that my father would have appreciated it. After all, all he wanted to do was protect me. Little did I know that I needed protection from the man I trusted the most. That night, I humiliated Gavin so much that he was forced to return home and I regret doing that. I regret a lot of choices I made and

Scarlett's pov The creases on my face deepened as I focused deeply on the words typed in the ageing book. "Rebirth? What does this have to do with rebirth? Come on, that's just a myth," Gavin said, but I didn't heed. For I knew without a doubt that it wasn't just a myth. When I didn't move, he leaned forward. "Read it out loud. I also want to hear it."/I looked at him and cleared my throat. "Rebirth isn't a usual occurrence. It could only happen if a wolf is blessed by the creator of all creations. A wolf can be born again in two ways. His spirit could be born in another body years later or be sent back in time. It is a chance to change the future because the wolf had endured severe injustice. The wolf could be given powers or a special ability to overcome the adversaries and emerge triumphant."I scrunched up my nose in confusion whispering to myself. "But that doesn't make sense. Iris is weak. She doesn't have any powers…" "What? Star, you aren't believing this, are you?" I s

Gavin's pov Akela was going crazy, screaming and fighting against me to take control. Still, I was able to hold him back. He was darn sure that she was our mate. Though I couldn't feel the sparks at first, as time passed by, I thought there was a tingle whenever our skin brushed against each other. It was so faint that there were times that I felt that I was imagining it. Still, Akela had no doubts. Yet, once again, I would have to be patient. She didn't feel the bond. I wasn't the type of a man who would force myself on a woman, even if my wolf was a hundred percent sure that she was mine. It was a bummer but when she explained about the crisis involving her wolf, I kind of understood. Nonetheless, I was astounded when she started to read about the rebirth of a wolf. It was just a myth… wasn't it? Still, I wanted to hear her out when we were interrupted. The conversation got disrupted and a more urgent matter arose. At first, I was sceptical about checking Georgette's room. St

Beyond My Mate's Betrayal Epilogue
Scarlett's pov Edith's incarceration wasn't much of a hassle. She was found guilty of accepting bribery, treason, and attempted murder. After learning about her treachery, we made it a priority to survey all the omegas we had employed in the packhouse in addition to checking the activities of the warriors. Although Michael was gone and the stormy clouds hanging over us had subsided, we didn't want to have any traitors working with us. It didn't take much time for the injured warriors to heal and rejoin the army. As for me, the wound on my forehead healed in no time. However, Gavin didn't take it easy until the doctors ruled out any health issues. After a thorough investigation, it was determined that I was out of danger. The silver's poison hadn't percolated into my bloodstream, thanks to the rapid medical attention I received.Since we merged the packs we had a lot of work pending. Thomas, Kylan, and the warriors were eager to help in the work. We had to re-evaluate the perimeters
Beyond My Mate's Betrayal Success
Gavin's pov It all happened so fast. When I realised what Michael had done, I felt as though my world had just come to an end. "Star!" I screamed, kneeling beside her. The silver dagger smashed her head and blood was pooling beneath her. Her eyes were closed and there were no signs of life in her. I cast an angry glance at the worst enemy I possibly would ever face. He was trying to flee after throwing the dagger. "Let me at him! Let me taste his blood!" Akela's growls resounded in my head and this time, I didn't try to stop him. The transformation to my wolf was swift and effortless. Growing and snarling in fury, Akela raced towards Michael who had rushed past the guards who were trying to apprehend him. By the time he attempted to shift, it was too late. Akela had already caught up to him and sunk his teeth into his right leg. Michael let out a mighty roar but we couldn't care less. Akela tore off a huge chunk from his thigh, forcing him to give in. The blood spilled out of hi

Scarlett's pov Fabian seemed to try and avoid the crowd as we rushed towards the staircase. He sniffed the air as he led me down the deserted passageway. I also sniffed the air, hoping to catch a whiff of any familiar scents. As we sprinted down the stairs, I caught a whiff of his aura. A smile instantly curled on my lips. I knew it. He was around. My heart yearned to search for my mate, but Fabian kept leading me away from him. Besides, I didn't want to let Michael escape. I wanted to finish this once and for all. If he ever got the chance to flee, I was sure that we would have to deal with him again. And I was done with him. I wanted nothing more than to end this for good. "Where are we going?" I asked Fabian, who appeared to be sprinting for his life. "The woods," he mumbled as we reached the ground floor. I sucked in a breath. The entire place was chaotic. Some Sapphire Mooners were battling a losing war against the wolves who had invaded their territory. Among them were we
Beyond My Mate's Betrayal Bound
Scarlett's pov The headache was just as awful as it had been before, but this time, when I awoke, I quickly realised that I was bound. My eyes scanned the space. I was still in Michael's room only this time I wasn't able to move around. I remembered causing havoc in the room, yet everything appeared to be in its place. Michael must have had his omegas clean the place up. I groaned and made an effort to move, but I was only able to slightly move my head because of the restraints. I tried to move my wrists. Something cold and hard was pressing into them. Frowning, I tried to decipher what it was. Upon glancing at them, I realised that I was cuffed to his bed. Pursing my lips together, I tugged at them. Nonetheless, my attempts to move my limbs were useless. At least I wasn't shackled with silver chains. Ignoring the searing pain in my head, I tugged at the restraints. I wanted to break free. Regardless, I froze when I heard a deep sigh. My stomach dropped out of my chest. I wasn't
Beyond My Mate's Betrayal Infiltrated
Gavin's pov "Of course, I will help! Fabian will lead a squadron of combatants from Garnet Cave. They will arrive at your pack by sunset. I'll give you my word.""Thank you, Alpha. I will forever be grateful for your assistance," I replied on the phone."Michael has gone too far. Kidnapping her means war, Gavin. She is beloved by all of us. I can't believe that he is my son's close friend," he sighed. "Maybe you should talk to him about it. Scarlett told you, remember?" I suggested. "Yeah, she did. I will talk to him. Michael isn't the kind of person I want him to hang out with. I plan to send my son as the commander of the squadron from my pack because, after this, he will be officiated as the new alpha of Garnet Cave." "I'm sure he'll do great. Now please excuse me. I need to check on the preparations for war," I said. "Of course, alpha Gavin. I'm off to dispatch the reinforcement from Garnet Cave." A smile curled on my lips as I ended the call. Garnet Cave was the last pack I
Beyond My Mate's Betrayal Not Yours Anymore
Scarlett’s pov My head felt like it was about to burst open. The splitting headache didn’t ease regardless of how much time I had spent trying to relax. Quite some time had passed since I had woken up from my sleep. Ever since I woke up, my head had been pounding. Wincing in pain, I shifted. Why wouldn’t the agony cease? “Iris?” I called for my wolf, but it seemed to be that she too was still drowsy. All I received in response was a little groan. Hopefully, she too was gradually waking up. I massaged my forehead in an attempt to ease the distress. It helped a little. But I couldn’t think of a reason for such a severe headache. While I lay on my back, I tried to recall the last place I had been. I remembered being officiated as the luna of Crimson Crescent, while Gavin became the new alpha. I sighed at the remembrance of my beloved mate. I sure hoped that he was around. I could really use the warmth of our bond to heal the pain in my head. My eyebrows knitted together when I recal
Beyond My Mate's Betrayal Bad News
Gavin's pov I was determined to end his pathetic life. I was almost successful when hell broke loose. I was sure that the warriors would do their best to suppress the enemies. I didn't doubt my mate's abilities to protect herself, yet, my heart's desire was to protect her myself. She was my mate, after all. However, looking for her was impossible with Michael following me like a maniac. Heck, I also wanted to end this once and for all so I fought with all my might. Soldiers from both packs rushed to assist us. The challenge was ruined and had turned into a full blown war. I realised that Michael had his claws elongated when he attempted to slash them through my torso. Thankfully, Akela was able to assist me in dodging that blow just in time. I also extended my claws and channelled Akela's strength. Soon enough, we were both doused in our blood. Our power to heal instantly was a massive advantage to us. Healing the minor injuries wasn't a problem. Besides, I wasn't going to give u
Beyond My Mate's Betrayal Challenge
Scarlett's pov Someone had ratted our plans out to Michael. Even with Georgette in lockup and Bert dead, Michael found out about our plans to attack and stationed his army outside his perimeter to meet us, which meant that he had more people working for him in our pack. I hated the fact that we didn't have a clue about who it could be, but it wasn't the time to ponder over that. We had arrived to fight, and this time I was determined to end this for good. "So the Crimson Crescent has a new leader," he smirked, as though he was jeering at us. "It was a pity that Peter was killed by his own beta." I glared at him. Of course, he would try to taunt us. Bert had worked for him after all. He must have found great pleasure in watching us trust our greatest betrayer the entire time. I sneered. I knew that he was just trying to get on our nerves. “There are more traitors in our pack. Apparently, someone has informed you about our arrival.” His unwavering grin was irritating me, noneth
Beyond My Mate's Betrayal No Lies
Michael's pov "Yeah. You better prepare for war. Scarlett is hell bent on avenging her parents' death. She kind of blames it on you." "You're lying," I hissed. "Why would I lie to you? Besides, you have already paid me for this, so I believe that you have earned the truth. Now choosing to believe it or not is going to be your choice. I don't care. I have got what I want," her response was firm. "Oh, and by the way, I managed to click a picture of the soldiers gathering at the packhouse. I don't know what war preparation looks like if this isn't it." "Send it," I demanded. The call ended and within minutes, I received a photo message from her. It was a picture of the warrior's quarters. So agent 2 was more than just any omega. She had access to the warrior's quarters. I guess she wasn't a waste of money after all. The soldiers appeared to be in a rush. A door was opened from which they were taking various kinds of weapons. Their countenances displayed unwavering determinat
