SCARLETTThe truth left me speechless. I was in a state of constant fury and confusion. I had yearned to figure everything out but when I knew all of it, I couldn’t make peace with it. The man who left me here, the man who wanted to kill me, and the man who was telling me all this after I had spent half my life under the shadows of lies were all terrible people. But, I couldn’t hate them anymore. The fault was in me.“ Do you want me to take you out shopping? ” Rush stopped beside me.I sighed, taking my eyes off the window in front of me. I had been standing in front of the sitting area’s window for Goddess knows how long. He had passed by me many times before but he had not talked to me and I was glad that he didn’t. But it seemed his patience had run low.“ I don’t want anything. ” I muttered, glancing his way.“ That’s not possible for girls. You always want something. ” He smiled, trying to charm me.“ You know awful lots of things about girls.” I smiled back. “ must be because
SCARLETT“ The Rogue Alpha has a mate. ” Alpha King’s smile deepened, stealing the air from my lungs.“ He does? ” A bitter taste invaded my mouth.“ How long do you want to keep lying, Scarlett? ” His smile faltered slowly.“ I don’t know what you are talking about. ” I couldn’t breathe. The room was too small for me.“ What I don’t understand is…why are you doing this to your family? What have we done to you except love you despite knowing how dangerous and evil you can be? We protected you when no one else did and this is how you are going to be now? ” He shook his head in disappointment. “ don’t you remember Marcus and Nathalia’s love? Did they ever not treat you as their daughter? ”My gaze lowered to the floor. My body was trembling. I knew what he was doing…but I couldn’t deny him.“ Do you not remember that I am your Godfather? When the whole pack wanted you shunned, I took you in and looked after you like I would have done for my daughter. Despite knowing my mate hates you an
SCARLETTAfter three more days passed, I finally received a text from Izer.‘ —I will see you tonight, Darling. ’The five words message made me stare at the screen for an hour straight. I couldn’t delete it or hide the phone or even ask him what he had planned for tonight.His text hinted that he was going to be at the charity event tonight. I tried to be excited, but what I was about to do to him drained me of life.Sighing, I hid the cell phone and got off the bed. The sudden knock on the door startled me.The door opened the next moment, revealing the face I still didn’t want to see. Even after all the explanations and promises, I would never be able to forgive Rush for what he did to me, and I would never feel love for him again.“ Are you busy? ” He asked, poking his head inside.“ What do you expect me to do inside this prison that can keep me busy? ” I rolled my eyes.He smiled and pushed the door open completely. His hands were behind his back, hiding a blue box that I could
SCARLETT“ You never said something about not pulling you inside a room for a sneaky kiss, Darling. ” Izer chuckled, making me sigh.“ Of course. ” My nails dug into his suit jacket. “ I never said anything about it. ”Izer pressed another wet kiss on my collarbone, before licking the spot gently. I shivered against his warm body. My eyes shot open.He drew his head back and looked at me. I forgot the words I was about to say when I stared into the dark orbs—the midnight sky that I had come to love.“ I waited— ”He was about to say something. I had no tolerance or patience for it. I needed his lips, his intoxicating lips.So, I took them. My lips smashed against his as my hands shot to his hair. He groaned in my mouth, easily dominating me and pushing me into the door behind me.His hands restlessly roamed my body before landing on my ass and squeezing it roughly. I moaned, licking his bottom lip. He sucked onto my top one and forced me to open my mouth so he could taste every inch
IZER“ Do you think she is lying, Alpha? ” Dixon asked as we climbed the stairs.“ She is hiding things. ” I corrected him and eyed the box in his hands.“ It’s the same. ” He groaned.“ No, it’s not. ” I shook my head. “ now, tell me about the arrangements. ” “ They will all be unconscious in… ” Dixon saw time on his watch before answering. “ five minutes max. ”The piano playing in the distance slowly came to a halt. Silence fell before several thuds sounded one after another.“ It worked early, I guess. ” Dixon mumbled.We turned right and entered the gallery. I could see the hall from here. The unconscious bodies of the humans were falling to the ground after they had inhaled the gas spreading out of the airconditioners.The werewolves were baffled though. They all looked around, checking up on humans worriedly.My eyes scanned the hall and landed on the familiar back. Amusement made me smirk. I placed my hands over the railing and leaned in.“ Cadamus. ” I chuckled.He whipped a
IZERI threw her in the passenger seat and closed the door. Dixon stayed outside the door, keeping it closed until I slipped into the driving seat.I locked the car and started the engine. She stopped screaming all of a sudden, going completely silent.We drove out of the hotel parking. I could see the other two cars of my men trailing behind us. Valerie had decided to join me for real instead of hiding in the shadows. That would cause her the whole pack of hers but she still did it. This only proved that she had become an emotional fool.“ You are still the same. ” Darling mumbled when we left the hotel so far behind that she couldn’t run back there even if she wanted.“ When I asked you if something happened, you were not supposed to lie to me, Darling. ” I hissed under my breath and kept my eyes plastered to the road.One look at her face and I would turn into an idiot. I didn’t want that.“ You took me by force again. ” She sniffled.“ Was I supposed to leave you there? ” I rolled
IZERScarlett dived in and kissed me. The remnants of the control were lost on me. I tightened my grip on her hair and pulled her body impossibly closer to mine. Her chest against mine. Her pussy right against my cock where I wanted her.She moaned as I slipped my tongue inside her mouth and explored it roughly. She tasted sweet, addictive, and so good that I needed to have her lips on mine all the time.Her hands crawled to my hair, gripping my strands to pull at them. I pulled away from her, letting her breathe.All the muscles in my body were so tight that they could fucking snap at any moment. I was fucking burning for her. The desire for her was a physical itch under my skin, taking over my mind.She licked her wet lips and leaned back. I watched her red cheeks and hooded eyes. The tension grew until we both were panting, hard. I could see in her eyes how much she wanted me to fuck her right here and right now, but I was not sure if I wanted to do this. “ I don’t want you to t
SCARLETT“ You want me to trust you, Izer? ” I breathed and lowered my hands to his chest.Izer’s gaze switched between my eyes and lips multiple times before he sighed. “ That goes without saying. ”I nodded. “ if you want my trust, do one thing. Trust me first. You want me to believe in you and trust you when I know nothing about you? Do the same with me. You want me to trust you when I believe you want to kill me or hurt me? Do the same for me too. Everything you want from me…you will have to do it for me first. ” “ You want me to trust you? Is that what you want? Even when I know you are up to something? ” He grinned, running his bloodied knuckles down my cheek.My nose brushed his when I leaned in. “ I want balance. If I am supposed to do it for you, you must do it for me too. I won’t give too much, and get too little anymore. ”“ So… ” Izer licked his lips. “ when you are going to say it back so we can restore the balance? ” “ Say what? ” My heart jumped to my throat. I had to
