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
IZERI love you.The three foreign words echoed inside my head. I searched her moist, wide eyes for any hint of doubt. The absence of it was heart-stopping.“ But—But that’s not important right now. ” She blurted and tucked her hair behind her ears.“ Not important? ” Was she kidding?“ I mean…we have so much to talk about. About Alpha King and the Crowsel and… ” She closed her mouth when she realized she was fucking things up. Her tongue darted out, running over her bottom lip, wetting the smoothness.“ Izer. ” She whispered, placing her hands on my chest.Without saying anything, I tugged her closer and wrapped my arms around her frame. The sparks her body radiated calmed down the raging monster inside me.I was overwhelmed by the rush of foreign emotions. I couldn’t name even a single one. Maybe I was happy? Or satisfied? Or just plain calm? I didn’t know.So, I didn’t say anything.She didn’t rush me into saying anything either. I held her close to me and accepted all the stra
IZER She threw a profound tantrum when I revealed the truth. First, she huffed. Then, she glared. Then, she told me I was an asshole for not telling her about it beforehand. After she was done letting everything out, she placed her head on my chest in an attempt to sulk and eventually fell asleep. I held her and listened to her even breaths, her loud heartbeats. My heart was still overwhelmed. I didn’t think this storm inside me would settle down anytime soon. Surprisingly, everything was too smooth. We talked. We confessed. We revealed our secrets to each other. Things seemed to have gotten better. With her. With everything else too. To think about it, I was set on a path to conquer the war. But something didn’t sit well with me. Why had her marks disappeared? How could Cadamus overlook the possibility that she might confide in me? How were things happening so easy? ‘ Stop thinking, motherfucker. Let me sleep. ’ Xandros grumbled in my head. I sighed and glanced down at
