~SCARLETT ~ “Please Don't push me away, I'll leave in a second. I just… I just wanted to make sure you were real. I wanted to make sure this wasn't a dream” I didn't say anything as I watched Alexander speak with a nervous look on his face. His appearance had caught me off guard once again and now I didn't know how else to react. At that moment, I felt numb. “I… I searched everywhere for you, Scarlett and I never believed you died and… and when I saw you today, I just had to see you again” He explained and I frowned while I took in his appearance. He had gotten a lot thinner than I remembered and he looked like he hadn't slept well in years and for some reason, that thought almost made me crack a smile. Knowing he was suffering brought me happiness. “Are you listening to Scarlett?” He questioned as I stared at me earnestly. “No, I was just thinking about how happy I would be if you were dead” I uttered simply and his eyes widened in shock before it softened.
~SCARLETT~ I've been locked up in this room for three days straight by my own husband, my own mate for a crime I knew nothing about. My throat was parched, my voice hoarse from all the screaming and crying I've been doing for the past three days. All my pleas and cries fell on deaf ears and for the past three days, I haven't had any form of human interaction. My food passed underneath the door but I didn't dare eat it. How could I when every now and then I could hear my parents screaming, my people screaming to be heard but their cries, just like mine, fell on deaf ears. A tear slid down my face as I folded my body and cried silently. How has my life turned out this way? How did I go from marrying the man of my dreams, from becoming Luna to being branded a traitor? I didn't understand a thing, why wouldn't anyone explain anything to me? My ears rose up immediately as the locks on the door were being unlocked. I slowly stood up at the same time three guards walked
~SCARLETT~ “You can't do this! Let me go! Alex!” I cried out as I banged my fist painfully on the iron door. After Alex's declaration, he ordered them to take me back to the room while my people, my parents were being prepared for execution. “Alex please! Alex you cannot do this! They're innocent, we are Innocent” I screamed and could see the blood slipping down my fist from how hard I was banging my fist on the door. I paused slightly when I heard the bolts on the door being unlocked. The door opened up and Alex was standing there with that same stoic expression on his face. “Leave us” He ordered the guards who immediately bowed their heads and walked away. “Alex, you cannot do this. You can punish them, brand them, flog them but please don't kill them, I'm begging you” I pleaded as I grabbed onto his shirt but he just stood there without saying a word. “Alex please! They're innocent! I don't know what they told you but you cannot do this, I'm begging
~ALEX~ I did the right thing. I did the right thing. I did the right thing.I chanted these words over and over in my head hoping it would make me feel better but I felt like shit. I felt like a monster and I fucking hated the feeling. A frown appeared on my lips as I remembered how broken Scarlett had looked. How she had begged me to spare them but I had… “She won't be killed, she was and still is your Luna!” Brian yelled as he glared hard at Isabella. We were all gathered in the conference and everyone had different opinions on what to do with Scarlett. I just fucking wanted this day to be over. “She was the main perpetrator, Brian! With what happened today, I'm one hundred percent sure she's going to try and kill Alex” Isabella argued back. “Would you really blame her? The man she married and loved looked her in the eye and murdered her whole family and now you want to kill her too? Hasn't she suffered enough?! If I were in her shoes, I would have bloody
~DIMITRI~ As I massaged my temples, I couldn't help but recount what had happened during the past few years. I had finally had enough and needed anything that could take my kind off the tragedy. “Alpha…” My Beta, Chase began but when he caught the sight of my glare from the front view mirror, he gulped and cleared his throat. “I mean Mr Sanchez. Are you sure this is wise? You're their Alpha, they would need you” He tried to convince me that running away wasn't the best choice but I had already made up my mind. “They would need you too and here you are following me around” I retorted and he scoffed. “Someone has to keep an eye on you and admit it, you love that I'm here with you” He said and I rolled my eyes but before I could say something, my eyes caught sight of something…. A body laying down at the side of the road. “What in the world…” Chase began, having seen the body as well. “Stop the car” I ordered and his eyes widened. “Alpha…” “Chase” I growl
~ALEXANDER ~ ~TWO YEARS LATER~ It has been 730 days since I last saw Scarlett and not once in that 730 days did I stop looking for her. There was no way she was dead… they hadn't found her body and as long as they hadn't, she was alive. I believed she was alive. I suddenly heard my room door being pushed open and I didn't need to turn around to know it was Isabella. “Any news?” I questioned as I struck off a day from the calendar. “This isn't healthy, Alexander. Everyone is worried about you. The pack…” “If you have no news on Scarlett’s whereabouts then don't bother me with your nonsense and get out” I muttered coldly before I slowly walked over to my bed. “She's dead! When are you going to get that into your head that she's…” Before she could complete her sentence, I was already halfway across the room with my fingers wrapped around her throat. “She’s not dead and if you dare utter those words again, I'll kill you” I threatened her and her eyes wi
~SCARLETT~ I was seething with anger. As much as I tried to hide it, I was sure the anger that boiled within me was evident on the outside. I had smelt him earlier and I tried to ignore it, telling myself that there was no way in hell he could be here at my function but I guess fate hadn't stopped playing its cruel games with me. “You…” “If you don't leave in The next two minutes, I'll have you both thrown out” I said before Isabella could finish her sentence with a sharp gaze. “Miss Bailey, that's Mr…” “I don't care who he is, this is my function so I have the power to throw anyone out for being a nuisance. You Have one minute left” I muttered through clenched teeth, ignoring The murmurs around me and painfully aware of his eyes on me. I spotted Brian running up the stage and grabbed onto Alex's hand with a shocked look on his face as he stared at me. Alex pulled his hand out of Brian's hold and grabbed onto my hand. “You're alive, you're really

~ALEXANDER ~ “Here are the papers you asked for on that Dimitri guy” Brian uttered as he walked up to me with a file in his hand. I immediately grabbed it and read through it. “I assume he was the one who saved Scarlett seeing that she has been staying with him for the last two years and he's an…” “Alpha Salvador. The one who could kill thousands of men with just a touch” I muttered as I read through the file. Thinking back on last night, I vaguely remember that he was wearing a pair of black gloves. “Yes and he's the CEO of Salvador Enterprise which he formed two years ago when he came into town. Apparently he has given up his Alpha title because of the horrendous events that had happened at his pack two years ago” Brian revealed and I hummed. Everyone knew about Alpha Salvador, his ability to kill with a touch intrigued everyone but not me. I never cared for him but now that he was involved with Scarlett, I needed to know everything about him. “He has ri
