Scarlett's pov. Roman asks me what’s wrong and I don't know if I can tell him. I didn’t envision today would go the way it currently is, but I'd be a bad person if I didn't tell Roman what I know. I wouldn’t feel worthy of him. “Your father says he’s located someone he thinks you might want to see.” The look on Roman’s face is still happy. He’s still smiling at me, and I wonder if telling him is really the best option at this point. I was in his office when Fen came in with a worried look on his face. He began asking for Roman, and when I said I had no idea where Roman was either, he dropped the news on me. “Your father has been looking into the attack that happened all those years ago.” Roman stills beneath me and I feel his expression freeze over. The smile is frozen on his face and Roman’s emotions leak in through the mate bond. Surprise is like vanilla on my tongue, and amidst that surprise is fear. “What did he find?” I make to push off Roman and sit up but he doesn’t l
Roman goes out to the forest and I don't stop him. He goes out there from time to time, he and the warrior wolves, but today he’s gone alone and I know why. Today’s the day his father comes back with Elara, and I don’t blame him if he doesn’t want to be here for it. Maya bounces into the room with something in her hands and a wide smile on her face. She stops in front of me and stretches it over, rocking on her feet and practically beaming as she croons. “Isn’t it pretty?” I direct my gaze to what she has in her hands and my heart melts the moment I see it. “Awwnnn Maya. It’s so pretty.”It’s a flower crown, and it looks so stunning…. I can't even imagine the amount of work that must have gone into making it. There’s a large jasmine in the middle, the white petals firm and fragrant and the light green pods like stems crafted from a diamond. Every flower has been placed with care and wow… “It’s so beautiful.” I cock my head at her, eyebrows knitted in light confusion, “When did you
“You’re pregnant.”Roman storms into the room and heads for me immediately. His words tear into my heart and as he stops in front of me, his aura radiating an extreme cold and his eyes glowing.Roman’s gaze bores into mine as he asks darkly, “When were you going to tell me?”My heart pounds in my chest as I look for the words to say, I stutter “I…. I wasn't sure of it. I thought I had an upset stomach.”Roman kisses the rest of the words away from my lips. My head lolls to the side as Roman’s tongue slips into my mouth and he kisses me fiercely. His hands wrap around my waist, pulling me closer to him in a gentle manner that contrasts the ferocity of his kisses. I lose myself in the heat of the passion running between us and the moment I kiss him back, Roman lets a low growl out as he plunders my mouth. He is passionate to the brink of being rough, but never is he unduly rough with me.I smile as Roman kisses me slowly now, chaste slow kisses, nipping at my lower lip, at the side of
“Roman.”Roman ignores his father and keeps walking. Alpha Kai is literally stomping after him at this point but he doesn’t stop or slow his face. The older Alpha lets out a harsh bark, “Roman!”Roman ignores his father, walks into the room and slams the door. I place a hand on Alpha Kai’s shoulder and feel his annoyance make his body tense. He pulls in a shallow breath, lets out a huff of air, and turns to give me a nod before walking away.I stand at the door for a while after he’s gone, just feeling for Roman’s mood through the mate bond and trying to decide if I won't make the wrong decision if I also go in there.Hunter had a child all this while.The son he beat me up for not having. The son he violated me repeatedly for not having.Eight years. I spent eight years suffering for a son that had been born and was alive, but just hadn’t been born through me.I don’t know how that makes me feel. It makes me feel dizzy. I don’t know if i’m to laugh or cry or just straight up keep on
For the next three days I barely see anything of Elara or Axios. I know Alpha Kai has put them in rooms on the ground floor of the mansion because Fen tells me.I know Axios is very attached to his mother because Maya mentions it over lunch one time.I also know Elara has been seeking an audience with Roman but she has been denied.No one needs to tell me this. I read it from the letter she slipped under our door.I look at the pastel pink envelope and read the two words written boldly on it, “Please Roman.”The folded piece of paper that contains the letter itself reads, “I know I don’t have the words to apologize for what I've done Roman, and I know you want explanations, please give me the chance to offer them.I’m sorry.Yours, Elara.”Fey lets out a low growl in my head as I read that last line but I tell her to calm down. That’s just how people write letters. Elara was signing her name off, nothing else.“Luna Scarlett.”I throw the letter on the table like it’s hot coals and sn
I blink and stare at the doctor inquisitively, huffing lightly in slight confusion. “Why would I be worried? This isn’t the first time I’ve done this.”The doctor nods and reaches to pick up the test again. He smiles as he looks up and turns the test to face me. The plus sign is there and I roll my eyes though I’m smiling.“Congratulations once again Luna Scarlett.”I nod, grinning lightly, and fix the doctor with a mild stare, “Thank you. Now tell me why you asked if I was worried. You popped that question on me all of a sudden so don’t tell me it was nothing.”The doctor chuckles and something warm ripples through the air as he asks, “Well are you, worried I mean?”I feel the words batter against the shields I have put up. This is something I promised myself not to think of, but for some reason, I feel this is my sign to.I nod and feel panic make my eyes smart.“I am, worried I mean.”The warmth and excitement in the air seem to dissipate after that and the doctor stares at me wit
Hi readers. So I saw a comment today where a long-time reader indicated some confusion and displeasure at how the book is currently going. I’d like to clear some things out and also apologize to her and any other reader who has felt confused about some things so far, I’m really sorry. I didn’t plan on setting down some plot points and then abandoning them along the way. I also didn’t plan to give an abrupt ending the way I kind of did. The book wasn’t performing so well up until last month so I was asked to end it. Of course, I couldn't tell the readers that, and it really affected me too knowing that the book wasn’t doing too well according to the Goodnovel team and statistics. I planned to end the book, then read through and elongate it from within the already written chapters, clearing plot holes, fixing any confusion, making the whole story give a wholesome feeling. But last month, the book’s performance suddenly picked up, and I was asked to continue it, so I had to look for a
“The council has decided that it can no longer take a seating position on the current matters in the pack.”Roman’s father stares steadily at me as a member of the council addresses the room.“We need Alpha Roman to tell us what he plans to do with his mate who has just been rescued after eight years of her being abducted. The Alpha’s silence over this is uncharacteristic and uncalled for. Elara was a part of the Ironclaw pack before she was abducted on what had to be the worst night in recent Ironclaw history.Now, by a pure miracle of the moon goddesses' making, she has been found and brought back, but the Alpha is ignoring her!She was his mate! It’s…”“Uncalled for, unusual, not what he should do, not what you think he should do, not what you want him to do.”I avert my eyes from Alpha Kai and turn to face Councilwoman Greta. She replaced Myrtle after she left and now it seems she has made it her job to make me feel like shit whenever we sit at council meetings.I’m not always he
