Hi lovelies, second chapter will drop soon.
Scarlett’s pov.Roman breaks the news to me the next day. His father wants us to attend his mum’s memorial.I chuckle and frown warily, “But we’ve always attended your mum’s memorial. We did it last year.”Roman nods and guides me close to him with his hand behind my neck. I kiss him because it seems he needs it and because I like it and Roman sighs afterward. It’s a content sigh but it’s also a sigh that tells me something is up so I lean into him and place my arms on his chest, overlapping my hands and placing my chin on it as I stare up at him.“What’s up?”I know he didn’t sound happy when I asked him to keep an eye out for Elara, and while I know it’s going to be hard for him to do it, if that’s what’s making him this way then I'll ask him to drop it.There’s no amount of information I could get on Elara that would make me compromise Roman’s happiness.Roman’s voice is sullen as he responds.“My father said my mum knew something was up.”When my eyebrows crease in confusion Roman
“This is my cousin.” Roman stares at me with a barred look on his face as I pace and read the headline. I know this paper. My father used to receive one every morning, Oakridge Daily, it’s a locally run newspaper in my pack, the Oakridge pack. The picture on the headline is the one that was taken at Oly’s funeral. “Where did you get this?...... And why are you bringing it out now?” “Why didn’t you tell me?”, Roman’s question is a soft thing and he’s staring at me intently. “His death should have been a loss to your family.” I nod because it was, I feel my mood drop as memories come rolling in and my voice is meek when I respond, “It definitely was. Oliver’s parents were inconsolable when it happened, speculations were that it was magically caused. The pack shaman said it had to do with magic, malevolent magic, the very violent kind. They said he shifted and ran mad while in his wolf form, and he killed himself. I didn’t mention it because it hurts to. I was really close to him
I'm all smiles when I get ready to go to the clinic with Roman. Doing it brings tears to my eyes actually because I realize I've done this before. I’ve gotten ready to go to the hospital once, an expectant but totally new mother. Hunter had been excited then. He’d kissed me goodbye, but he didn’t take time out of his work to come be with me as I went through the cycle of appointments and checkups and visits. We didn’t do a scan to determine the gender of the baby, and thinking back on it now, that might have been my saving grace. Hunter could have done things to make sure I didn't give birth to Maya. I know it like I know him. “Is your purse lost? I can help you find it.” Roman sounds so concerned I chortle and shake my head, “It’s nothing, I've found the purse already, we can go now.” He opens the door for me, an action that causes me to roll my eyes and giggle, then he links our fingers together, swinging it lightly as we walk, him still fully dressed in his forest green suit
“Why did you invite him to the Jubilee?”Roman asks this question through the mindlink as we exit the hospital but I don't have any answer to it. I want to say I did, or rather I do, but I don't and that’s the truth. I don’t have any concrete reason, so do I tell him I'm really suspicious about the identity of that doctor? Or do I tell him I'm beginning to suspect the doctor whom I asked to carry out a checkup on Axios behind his back and who has airdropped the report into my phone isn’t who he says he is?A sigh leaves my lips as I think about that. Sometimes I feel it’s sinful the way the current world has made hiding things and keeping secrets so much easier. He did that while Roman was seated next to me.He dumped this report that’s making me feel like I'm doing something particularly wrong into my phone, while Roman was seated next to me and he wasn’t any wiser to it.“Scarlett.”Roman’s sudden touch sends feelings rippling down my spine and I stop, snapping out of my thoughts a
Roman leads me back to the car like I am an egg, a very precious egg he is treating extra special now and I laugh so much I can barely hold myself together.When we are in the car, Roman collapses into his seat and takes a deep breath, letting an exhale out while he holds my hand in his.Roman’s hand is warm and I can feel the heat coming off him.I can feel subtle stings running through the mate bond we share and I look at him with a smile on my face.Roman looks at me from the corner of his eyes and all of a sudden I am being pulled towards him. I move willingly, and carefully, and he places me until I'm straddling him, my face bare inches from his. He kisses me.Roman’s lips meet mine in a steady and passionate motion, his mouth battling softly with mine and capturing a lip with each kiss he gives me. His arms wrap around my back and they pull me closer to him.Roman descends to suck on my neck and the action lets a soft moan escape my lips.Roman places a peck there, something tha

Scarlett's pov.The commotion dies down immediately and not a word rings out from the small gathering of werewolves.The sight before us is an unpleasant one and confusion courses through my veins. The warrior wolves present all give the Ironclaw salute to their Alpha and when Roman stares back at them, it’s hard and dark. His voice is foreboding as he asks again. “What is the meaning of this? Why is my Beta in chains?”I feel unsureness ripple through the small crowd. It’s surprising to me because I'm sure I felt a lot of tension rising off them a second ago.Fenrir releases a low growl and I see the shiver that runs through the members of the pack present. Their silence is suspicious and I can tell Roman is having none of it.Before he can bark at them in anger properly I walk over to the nearest warrior and stretch out an opened palm. There’s a sign of a slightly clenched chin, but he does what I want all the same.He drops the keys to the chains into my palm and I make my way ove
“How long has it been going on?”The warriors have been dispersed.Roman is barely containing his anger and Fen just stands there mutely. Roman’s voice is a fierce growl as he asks again, “I said how long has it been going on! Were you fucking her with Hunter too?”I don’t know what to do right nowRoman’s anger is rising steadily and I can feel it coming with a vengeance. It’s ice cold, lethal, and dangerous. The Ironclaw warriors did indeed have footage of Fen and Elara in what looked like assault. Sexual assault to be precise.But that wasn’t all.“16th of September, nine years ago. The footage was captured nine years ago, Fen. Were you fucking my mate behind my back even then?” I massage my temples because hells. How will this ever be forgotten? Or forgiven?I don’t even understand it. The video footage the warriors showed us was from nine years ago. Fen and Elara, in a hall of the Ironclaw packhouse, making out fiercely. The warrior had apologized when we pointed out the time
