SCARLETT There was no one behind—My thoughts all died when loud howls echoed behind me. My body begged to paralyze in fear of what was coming, but I kept running just like Dixon. I couldn’t let him down, couldn’t make him think I was an idiot who froze at the hint of threat.“ Don’t look back, Luna. Keep moving forward. ” Dixon shouted at me when I slowed a fraction.Energy returned to my body. I ran faster than before, matching his speed and stamina. But who was I kidding?The howls were growing near. And from the sounds of it, the number of wolves couldn’t be less than two dozen or something. This was a death situation. Dixon and I were against at least 20 wolves. We were going to die. It would be all my fault.My eyes stung and so did my nose as we kept running, and dodging branches here and there.“ They won’t catch up to you. ” Dixon’s hand loosened around my wrist somewhere along the way.I didn’t stop. But he slowed down. I ran forward. He released my hand. I was far. He
IZERDefeating Cadamus—the infamous dog and not a wolf was not that hard. My wolves had fun with his minions, Valerie toyed with his son and I played with him well. His agony was prolonged. At some point, he even shot energy balls at me which he must have thought was legendary but it was nothing I had not seen before.The only reason he could defeat and kill my Dad was because he had killed Mom before him. When Dad lost Mom, he became half of what he was. His broken trust and sense of betrayal didn’t help either. It took him a lot of time to heal from the blows, from the pain in his heart.But, I had made sure I was nothing like Dad.I didn’t trust. I didn’t go down due to the pain in my heart. I never took too much time to react or plan.The only common thing between Dad and I was the love for our mates. He loved Mom. And I loved Scarlett more than anything in this fucking world.I was ecstatic that she was not here right now or I would have spent most of my time watching her front
IZER Apparently, Scarlett had used too much of her energy and now she was drained. I didn’t have my mark on her so I couldn’t share my energy with her either. All I could do in this situation was wash her up and put her in bed. And I did that. After that, it was a long wait that didn’t end even after two days. Her face was pale, and her lips cracked but there was nothing I could do to help her. I had never experienced such helplessness before and it was not an ideal time to experience new emotions. Now, I sat on the chair beside her bed, watching and waiting for her to open her beautiful eyes and look at me again. Dixon opened the door and peeked inside. My gaze moved in his direction. His brows rose to his forehead in question. “ She is not awake. You can come inside. ” I told him. He must have come here personally because he couldn’t mind-link me as I had blocked everything out for the time being. I just didn’t want to deal with anything right now. “ Did they all surrender?
IZERMartha left after fucking with my mind. The smug smirk remained plastered over her stupid lips until she disappeared from my sight.“ My tolerance towards her…ended tonight. If you don’t wake up now, I am going to probably dig a grave for that Martha. ” I grumbled to her as I lay by her side.The night had passed. The sun was rising in the sky now. I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment. My eyes were burning with a lack of sleep. The headache was not helping my situation either. There was just too much to think and feel, but no rest in sight.“ I am sur—surprised you didn’t kill her yet. ” The hoarse voice that I loved whispered from beside me.My eyes snapped open and met the green of her eyes. So deep and full of life. So Scarlett. My Darling.I thought I would be excited when she woke up. Or I would say ‘ Thank fucking fuck ’ that this shit was over, but right now, my heart calmed down for the first time since what happened three nights ago.My breathing evened out, and the
SCARLETTI didn’t know what was wrong with Izer. Everything was fine when I fainted. Now, it felt like there was a wall between us and it was so high that I could barely look at Izer—my Izer.What could have happened in two days to make him appear so distant? I wondered about it for a long time even after I finished breakfast and sat on the couch in the living room. Izer came with two mugs of coffee and placed one in front of me. I eyed the hot drink before looking up to find Izer sitting on the single seat opposite mine.He put distance between us. He never did that before. He never sat at a distance from me. He liked to invade my space and make me feel his presence.I stared at him as he sipped on his coffee and leaned back.“ Martha is on her way. ” He informed me, avoiding eye contact like he had done something wrong…or maybe I did.What could it be?This was frustrating me.“ What’s wrong with you, Izer? Why are you not telling me? How long do you think you want to be like this?
SCARLETTMartha told me all about this Lakeburgh town where they built a secret hideout for all people like us. Anomalies—she called them. Strange people that were not supposed to exist in this world.They had powers, and strength and there was nothing like them. So, she said it was important to stay together and stop each other from running evil and wreaking havoc on the world. I liked this idea. She told me this compound had existed in Lakeburgh for hundreds of years and every time these people suspected something out of the ordinary had been born, they always went to get this new anomaly before things became bad for him or her. That’s how they kept the powers in control and maintained peace in the world which was filled with all sorts of supernatural beings.I listened to her explanation for a good hour. Izer stayed beside me but didn’t talk. More than getting interested in her story, I was drawn toward Izer’s silence. It was unsettling and it hurt.I had tolerated his silent tr
SCARLETTWe did talk about not having sex and making him take a rest but it turned out, that was just that. A talk. I couldn’t really resist him when he was so adorable sometimes.If someone else ever heard me addressing Izer Primeblood as adorable, they might think I had a loose screw in my head but they didn’t know him like I did. And for me, he was adorable whenever he looked at me with puppy eyes. So, it was always hard for me to resist his charms. After we had a quickie, he fell asleep by my side. I made sure he slept for the whole day and kept Dixon away from him when he came to the penthouse, complaining that his Alpha was not responding through the link.When Izer woke up, I thought he would be a little salty about the way I made Dixon run away but he was all sunshine and smug about it which was really strange.He had been smiling, and creeping me out for a few hours now. Slowly, I break out of my trance and glance at him. He is driving the car, and the stupid smile is stil
SCARLETT It took a few hours for Izer to get things done in our pack. I talked with pack members and Sophia until he was free. He came to me on his own and made everyone else disappear with a single look. We both went back to the car and started our journey back home. The creepy smile never wavered on his lips. With time, I was finding it less surprising and scary. Izer was happy. And he couldn’t stop displaying it around me. “ Is this our territory? ” I asked, pointing at the forest which was on both sides of the road. “ The whole city is our territory, Darling. ” Izer’s eyes sparkled as he shot me a quick glance. “ Stop the car. ” I told him and unbuckled my seatbelt. Izer stopped the car instinctively and then turned to me. “ why? Is something wrong? ” I shook my head and got down from the car. Izer watched me until I was on his side, opening his side of the door and spreading my palm in front of him. “ Let’s go. ” I jerked my head to the right. “ Where? ” Izer placed his
