Hey Lovely Readers! Why do you think Izer hates Scarlett? And what do you think Scarlett will do now? Let me know in the comments and reviews! ~S.Y
SCARLETTIt was the first time that I looked at Dixon and confidently used the power I didn’t understand. “ Take me to Eddie and don’t tell Izer. ” I told him.His pupils had dilated before he nodded and led me to Eddie. The surety that this power would work and that I would be able to get things done from these pack members was bizarre. As long as Izer didn’t command them to not listen to me, they would always listen to me. It was a good thought.Dixon took me to the 50th floor of the building. There were many apartments on the floor but he led me straight to Eddie’s place.When the door opened and he saw us both standing outside, a frown appeared on his forehead.“ Luna. ” He nodded towards me reluctantly before facing Dixon. “ Beta. ”“ Luna wants to talk to you. ” Dixon pointed his thumb at me and stepped aside.“ Is everything fine, Luna? ” He swallowed his saliva and took a step back to allow me to enter his place.“ We can talk inside. ” I glanced around nervously.If Izer a
IZER “ Now I know how to get things done with you, Izer Primeblood. ” She whispered before her head rolled to the side, going limp.My gaze lowered to the pool of blood surrounding her body then rose to her hand, clutching the piece of glass tightly.“ Stupid girl. ” I sighed, grabbing her hand in mine.When my eyes focused on the marks surrounding her fingers, I paused. I couldn’t move for a moment. The sparks were not enough to wash off the anger.‘ Help her. ’ Xandros murmured, showing more mercy than I was capable of.Slowly, I uncurled her fingers from around the piece of glass and pulled it out of her hand. Her unconscious figure slipped down from against the wall.Before her head could hit the floor, I grabbed her nape and tugged her into my chest. Her body curled into mine, leaving no safe space between us.My dumb heart skipped a stupid beat against my will and refused to go back to beating on the same rhythm after that.I held her there involuntarily. I didn’t want to push
SCARLETT“ Why? ” I stared at his back. “ why do you hate me, Izer? ”He thought he could get rid of me just by telling me that he hated me? He was wrong. It did hurt me to hear that he despised me enough to not even want to look at me. But I was not letting it cloud my judgment. I already uncovered the worst truths of my life. I was not about to give up on knowing why he changed and hated me like I was a horrendous illness.“ One doesn’t need a reason to hate someone, Darling. ” He finally turned around and faced me.He was going to leave just a moment ago. I was sure. But, something was stopping him.What? I had no idea. I was not about to find out either. He wouldn’t tell me. He wouldn’t just open his fucking mouth and end this confusion.“ I hated you because you killed my parents, took me from my home, marked me without my consent. ” I pulled my trembling knees to my chest and wrapped my aching arms around them. “ I don’t believe someone can hate others without a reason. So, if
IZER“ What do you think? ” Dixon watched me patiently.I hummed, staring at the screen of his phone. What he was telling me was fucking hard to stomach.“ It doesn’t work, Alpha. With time, the powers were lost. Now…what Cadamus has with his people is his real bond. ” He placed the phone down and leaned back in his chair.“ His real bond? ” I cocked a brow, staring at the paused video.“ It has to be. Nothing else explains this. ” He sighed, running his fingers through his hair.“ What about memories? ” I wondered, looking up at him.“ You want to send Luna back for those…memories? ” He made it sound terrible.Because it didn’t mean anything to him.“ What if the world one day forgot all about your father? Your mother? ” My thumb grazed my lower lip as I asked him.He stiffened but didn’t answer. He had no answer, in fact. Because Dixon knew he would do the same if something like that had happened to him.The world that forgot about Mom and Dad had to remember them again. There was n
SCARLETTI couldn’t sleep the whole night. There was no way I would have let my guard down when Izer was so close.The irregular beats of his heart against my cheeks told me that he didn’t sleep either.We both just led in bed until the night changed into the morning. When the light fell on the room through the glass walls, I pushed him away one last time. He let me go. There was no struggle, no protest, no words exchanged.I went to the bathroom, washed up, and dressed up in casual blue jeans and a yellow crop top. My gaze lingered on my reflection in the huge mirror after I tied my hair in a ponytail.‘ It’s your last day here. ’ Izer’s voice whispered inside my head in repeat mode.Why did it have to be the last day? There was a constant ache inside my chest that I had to endure every day of the last week after he revealed his truth. I was grateful that he didn’t show up after that and I didn’t call him either.But last night, he just had to come and pour salts on my wounds. Now,
SCARLETT I stepped out of the car and approached the black Mercedes. Opening the passenger door, I climbed inside. Izer’s dominating scent engulfed my senses and caused my heart to skip a beat. I looked at the man sitting beside me. A soft breath escaped my mouth. His hair was perfectly combed back. He wore his signature black suit, with a white shirt underneath, tight on all his strong muscles. My throat dried, as my eyes flickered towards the side of his face. He turned his head and gave me his full attention. The darkness of his eyes threatened to make me weak against all my rational thoughts. It was wrong. So wrong. “ They will be here shortly. ” Izer spoke in a grim tone. “ Who? ” I whispered. “ You know who. ” His lips curled. “ Alpha King? ” I sighed, straightening in the seat and looking out of the windshield. “ I doubt he will come. He values his life too much to put it at risk. ” Izer scoffed. “ Then Rush? ” I wondered aloud. The aura shifted in the car. Temperat
SCARLETT“ He did a good job with that prosthetic eye. But I can’t say that about his arm. ” Izer chuckled, surprising me.His tone was sinister. It was enough to send chills down my spine. I remembered he had plucked Rush’s eye out, and taken his arm. How he did it, and the sheer pleasure on his face when he did it still haunted me. In the recent past days, I forgot how cruel he actually could be. It was better that he only opted for hurting me with his words.I shuddered and stared at Rush through the windshield. His eyes were fine, but if you focused too hard, you could tell that the right eye was hard and didn’t move as smoothly as the left one.My gaze lowered to his right hand, covered in a black glove. Whatever Rush did to me, at least, he didn’t deserve to get this permanent damage done to him.“ You are a…monster for enjoying something like this, Izer. ” I couldn’t help but whisper to him.“ I never said I was not. ” Izer opened the door and stepped outside.I sucked in a s
SCARLETTThere was no grand display of delight over my return. The gated community—my pack still seemed the same. No one even batted an eyelash toward the moving cars. The cars rolled into the biggest mansion’s driveway after the silver iron gates were opened. I glanced over my shoulder and saw the gates closing after all the cars had passed through. No one was supposed to enter or leave those gates without Alpha King’s permission. I, for some specific reasons, never got that permission when I stayed here.When I was forced to shift here after the Beta couple died, I was not allowed to go out. I was not allowed to apply to any college because Alpha King thought education had no use for me. I was not supposed to hang out with any girls or boys my age either, because apparently, Rush didn’t like that. All I got was a room in this place, and they ruled my life after that. I breathed with their permission, ate when they decided I should, and did what they wanted me to do.But before lea
Hey Lovely Readers! Izer and Scarlett's story ends here. Thanks for giving this book a chance and reading it to the end. I received many kind words from readers when I was writing this book and those words helped me finish this story. I appreciate all the support and love this book received and I am glad I was able to complete it. I had a hard time writing this book because Scarlett's character was that of a girl who was forced to stay isolated from the world until she turned eighteen and Izer came to take her. She was a little childish but I believe, that's how a person like Scarlett was supposed to behave because of her age and because of her lack of interaction with other people. At times, I was frustrated with her too, but I am happy I didn't get a sudden writer's block on this book due to the pent-up emotions *Phew* I believe Izer's character helped me get through this except for my readers all the time. He is different from all the characters I have ever written before. It was
SCARLETT~A week later…Dixon and Sophia's wedding was a chaotic event. Managing so many humans and werewolves in the same place was like conquering a war. Sophia stressed throughout it all but when she walked down the aisle and reached Dixon, I saw true delight in her eyes. I was her maid of honor, Valerie was her bridesmaid and Izer was Dixon's best man. When Sophia asked me to assume this role, I realized what I really meant for her and after that, I vowed to be a great friend to her.On the other hand, Dixon had to bribe me with a hundred compliments to make me convince Izer into becoming his best man. That was a dramatic day, three days ago but I managed to get the broody Izer Primeblood into it in the end.Now, the wedding ceremony was over and everyone had moved to the reception party which was held in the I. Tower's wedding venue. It was a classy high-end event where humans were mingling with werewolves without being aware of our true nature.It was funny for me. If any one
SCARLETT Izer really let his wolf out. I was surprised as I looked through Aine’s eyes. The two wolves were being lovey-dovey with each other. The huge wolf of Izer looked strange while he nudged Aine all the time just because of his intimidating size, but it still warmed my heart. After Aine and Xandros were done cuddling and my wolf was tired, she let me take over. It felt natural for me to shift back and forth. I just had to think about it and it would happen. I sighed in relief as soon as my gaze fell on my naked arm. A little of silver fur was still lingering on my skin but those were the remnant of hair. I shuddered. My eyes rose to Izer’s wolf. He was watching me and had stepped back to, perhaps, assure Izer that he was not trying to hurt me. A smile spread on my lips. The wolf threw me a dangerous sulky look before he let Izer take over. The look made me laugh. He was brooding because he didn’t get much time with Aine. “ That was odd. ” Izer huffed as soon as his eyes met
SCARLETTKatherine’s funeral was held the next day. It was a small service in the compound that every member attended. There were no outsiders allowed because Katherine didn’t have anyone except me and the people of this compound.She went silently, and everyone looked genuinely sad at her funeral. This only proved that she had lived a good life. I felt calm after knowing it.Yesterday, I didn’t leave her hand until Izer came and made me do it. I was in shock for a while. I felt cold. I just met her and now she was gone.But, after that, it felt peaceful as if I had fulfilled a mission and could finally rest.Later that day, after Katherine was buried, Martha came to stand beside me in front of her grave. “ She was pregnant with you when we came across her. ” She whispered to me. “ we were reluctant to take her in because she was a wolf but the curse on her was already working. And she was rejected by everyone else in this world. She had nowhere to go but she looked hopeful because s
SCARLETTMartha knocked on that wooden door and then opened it after waiting for a few moments. My heartbeat reached new heights, letting Izer know what I felt and how this was affecting me. He squeezed my hand, assuring me that he was there to manage things if I was uncomfortable.I steeled my nerves and stepped inside the cozy cottage. I couldn’t really focus on the small sitting area that we were in because I was too busy staring at the back of the woman who sat on one of the light brown couches in front of me.“ Katherine. She is here. ” Martha called out to her softly. The woman slowly turned around. A pair of green eyes met mine, and my heart halted beating momentarily.If I wanted to know how I would look in old age, all I needed to do was to look at this woman. Her eyes, her nose, her lips…It was like I was not looking at someone else but myself in the mirror. The only difference between us was the wrinkles around her eyes, mouth, and neck. Her eyes watered as she looked at
SCARLETTIt took Izer three weeks to get things done. He assumed the position of the Alpha King, established his control over all packs, and made all the necessary arrangements to keep things running.Martha called many times but I always told her to wait. I was not leaving without Izer. I knew he would be restless if he had to send me to some unknown territory alone and now, I knew what my priority was.I could keep the woman I was supposed to call Mom, waiting, but I couldn’t stress Izer out. Fortunately, everything was taken care of. We boarded his private jet in the morning with Martha and now stood on a territory that was thousands of kilometers away from home.This didn’t seem to affect Izer much. He was confident in himself. But that’s not how he felt about me. He was worried that I might start having an identity crisis after meeting my biological mother and he didn’t want that so he kept telling me that no matter what happened in my life, I needed to know that he was my famil
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
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
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
