His cage has arrived. Liam was supposed to spend day and night with Scarlett and Jordan but it was going to be impossible because Jama had been able to convince his father to help them without getting anything in return and his father was asking that Liam return to the werewolf world. Jama’s father, Henry, wanted to see him because that was the only way he could locate the dark witch. They will be performing a ritual.Liam had tried to convince Henry to give him a little time, but Henry stubbornly refused. Henry also had a mission he was supposed to go on, he refused to allow Liam to delay him. Scarlet was still having her migraines and though they seemed to have reduced drastically, Liam was still afraid that once he left it would worsen.“I will be going back to the pack tomorrow,” Liam told Scarlett once he got back home that day. He watched as her face closed up, and she turned away from him after saying okay. Liam quickly stopped her before she could move away from him.He could
Liam told her that she might be asleep by the time he left for his pack in the morning, so Scarlett was surprised to see Liam standing in front of her room when she stepped out in the morning with a crying Jordan in her arms."Eh? I thought you were going back home today?" Scarlett asked him in surprise. She did not notice that she called his pack home but Liam definitely noticed and his eyes sparkled with happiness. Her words meant that she still saw his pack as her home, he couldn't be more happy."Change of plans. Something came up" he reached out a hand to take Jordan from her. "Something?" Scarlett asked as she handed the child over to him, "I'm not going to ask what it is" "But you are curious" Scarlett have a small shrug, "Yup, but still, I'm not going to ask"She walked past him and went downstairs to the kitchen. Jordan was hungry and she needed to feed him."We can have our talk today" Liam who followed her to the kitchen stood by the door as he bounced Jordan in his arm
Even though Aaron sat back down because of Liam's command, Liam could not keep his mouth shut or stop Aaron's eyes from glaring daggers at him“How did Olivia lay her hands on the wolfsbane, Liam?” Aaron pushed. He had once been Liam's father's beta and knew how the wolfsbane was kept, and the security measures involved in safeguarding it. Unless Liam handed it over to Olivia, she would never have laid hands on it. “On the full moon” “What full moon?” Aaron was getting impatient. He wanted to know everything. There were so many things that Liam was keeping from him. Recently, he has begun to withdraw from pack duties. Liam was now old enough to take over everything in the pack and do things without his help, but he was beginning to think that it was a mistake on his part, he should have still been actively involved in everything. “My migraine worsened, Uncle Aaron and I needed to take care so that I don't go berserk and destroy the pack. I got a silver cage and always ask Noah to p
She cried. Scarlett could not believe everything she just heard. Willow had gone out to spend time with Felicia and Jordan was sleeping when Liam sent James to call her to his study.The silence was suffocating, the air was filled with tension, and she felt uncomfortable with the way her father and Liam were watching her as she sat down.“Okay, what's going on?” She asked Liam, but her eyes were on her father. “There are so many things you need to know, things we need to tell you that we've been…” Aaron shook his head, "Not we but him alone” he pointed at Liam, “Has been hiding us. He just told me now, so we have to tell you too” “Okay…” she took her eyes off her father and looked at Liam. Her palms became sweaty immediately, her eyes met his. He looked uncomfortable and too serious. “What's it that you want to tell me?” “You have a wolf, Scarlett” Liam said, straight to the point as he saw no need in beating around the bush. Scarlett froze, but then she burst into loud mocking la
She could still remember how she and her father had made plans about them running in their wolf form together once she got her wolf. How they would play catch and then her father would help her train her wolf to be strong. All of these, they couldn't do because of Olivia and her father.Olivia was just a year older than her so she wondered how Olivia got such an evil mind to start poisoning her at the age of eighteen. Must be her father pushing her into doing all these evil deeds. "Don't cry, Scarlett" Aaron wrapped his arms around Scarlett to console her even as tears brimmed under his closed eyelids. Scarlett was shaking her head. Not only her dreams of becoming Luna were destroyed, her father's dream of running with her in the woods and of training her, of seeing his only child become a full-fledged wolf was also ruined.Aaron held Scarlett as she cried and cried until there were no more tears in her eyes. He pushed her back to stare at her red face, "it's okay to cry for the pas
Alex was happy to see her. After telling her father that she wanted him to meet Alex before he returned back to the pack, she did not wait for his response before moving to pick her phone to call Alex.She told Alex that she wanted him to meet her father, and he was eager. He had been waiting for her call for the longest time since she asked him to stay away for a while. He had been worried that Liam was holding her and her baby hostage. She took Jordan with her, and they walked past Liam on their way out. Scarlet walked past him without even a backward glance. She could feel his eyes boring a hole in her head as her father stopped to talk to him or to tell him where they were headed. “I told him that we are going to meet Alex and I think he is worried that you want to get together with Alex.” her father told her as he joined her in the car with James.“He shouldn't be. After all, he already ruined me for any man that would come”“Scarlett,” her father gasped in shock, “You cannot s
Alex and her father became friends so fast that Scarlett was quickly forgotten. They had so many things they both liked, and they also bonded over Jordan who, by now, had been handed over to Alex by her father when he noticed Alex's lingering gaze on the baby.“His name is Jordan?”Alex's head that was bent as he played with the baby came up so fast. A deep frown was etched on his face, “Jordan?” He could vividly remember that the name Jordan was among the names Liam suggested to Scarlett, but she refused. He had been hoping that he would be the one to name the baby but guess the father will always win in the end. “Yes, Jordan. My father came up with the name” Scarlett responded.The frown disappeared quickly to be replaced by a bright smile, “Your father did? It's a nice name”Aaron, who noticed the whole change of expression on Alex, smiled, but it was a sad one. It was clear as day that Alex was in love with his daughter, his entire actions gave him away; Alex gave Scarlett his un
“Dad” Scarlett sniffed as she grabbed her father in a hug. He was returning this morning to the pack, and Scarlett felt like gathering her and Jordan's things so that they could go with him.“Hey,” Aaron sighed as he rubbed her back. She'd been crying since she woke up to help him pack his things. “You could just come back to the pack, then all of this will jot have to happen. We won't have to say goodbyes or be apart.” “Dad, you know that's not going to happen”“And you know that you can't stay here forever. You will have to come back to him eventually. Even if not for your sake, then for Jordan, because he is an alpha that needs to familiarize himself with the werewolf world and to also start his training early.”Scarlett pushed herself away from her father. She met his eyes with her cold ones, the tears had immediately dried up at his words, “I Will be damned before I let my innocent child go back to the corrupt pack.”Aaron shook his head with a pitiful smile, “Wake up from your
