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
SCARLETTThe moment I stepped out of the car, two arms slung around my neck and pulled me in for a hug. I was not expecting this, to say the least.“ Thank Goddess! ” She exclaimed in my neck. “ I thought I will never see you again, Scarlett. ”The sincerity and relief in her voice was not lost on me. She was genuinely happy about my return. A lump formed in my throat. No one was happy when I went back home. No one cared to greet me, meet me, see me.Was it really home? The place where no one gave a damn about my life? About my death? “ Don’t strangle her, Sophie. ” Dixon sighed exaggeratedly and grabbed Sophia’s shoulders so he could pull her away from me.Izer stood beside the car, eyeing her dangerously. A smile lit my lips when I realized he was jealous of her.“ I missed you. ” She sniffled, not giving in to Dixon’s efforts of getting her away from me.I sighed and hugged her back at last. Dixon stepped back when he noticed my reaction.“ You should have tried harder to stop me
SCARLETT“ I don’t believe it’s supposed to happen this way. ” Izer huffed. “ You need to tell me what Cadamus fucking told you first. ”I sighed, rolling my eyes. “ You are still stuck there? ”“ Tell me and get it over with. ” He shrugged his shoulders, smiling at me.“ He told me that I am the Dark Lord’s child and that I killed my mother. It was too sudden but he told me that. He also said your Dad lost his mind and tried to kill me when I was three years old. My Da—No—The Beta and Alpha King killed him to protect me. ” I frowned, blurting out everything I knew.“ What else? ” “ Alpha King has Dark Lord’s favor. ” The urge to keep it a secret was strong but if I wanted Izer to be honest, I needed to be sincere first.“ Favor? ” Izer smirked. “ he called that favor? Really? ” I scrunched my nose. “ What does it mean now? ”Izer inhaled a deep breath and untangled our fingers. His hand rested on his thigh, leaving mine on the couch.“ It’s true that a man brought you to my Dad whe
SCARLETT“ He could erase someone from the face of Earth and damn them to darkness forever. ” Izer uttered.I lifted my left brow. “ Erase someone? How? ” Izer’s fingers flexed around my hand. He looked down and exhaled a soft breath. “ An Alpha King is a King because other packs swear allegiance to him, and take a blood oath. They remember him as their leader and always stay loyal to him. If they want to betray him or leave his side consciously, the blood oath would become poison in their bodies. It will kill them. ” He stated and looked up. “ How did they… ” I trailed off.“ Their memory of the blood oath. That’s what Cadamus stole from people. The Crowsel had the power to alter the memories of a lot of people at the same time. Only those who were told the truth again in the werewolf community, or those who were on the receiving end…like me, Dad, or Mom remembered Dad’s true position. The rest of the werewolves, the Alphas, and everyone else didn’t remember Dad. ” He paused to ta
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
