SCARLETTI knew that Karen fell from the ladder that was kept to reach out to the tower where the tablet of the vase of power was kept, well technically I was standing there watching him after I and Nathan left that hut.He never knew that the ladder was not stable enough to keep him safe and he fell from the ladder and hit his back on the ground, sustaining internal injury. Luckily, it would have been worse if the ground was not covered with sawdust.Sometimes Karen doesn't cease to amaze me, he might be cold, dreaming, and possess strong capabilities but he still sees himself as someone who doesn't need to boss people around and does his stuff by himself.Though he didn't know I had secretly ordered a few members of the pack to assist him in arranging the secret hall and also get the tablet of the old vase of power which Karen was trying to get.His subordinate had rushed to him and helped him stand up to his feet instantly asking if he didn't have any injury of which he instantly
SCARLETT"I don't think I will want the ceremony to go on any longer.." I let out trying to avoid Karen's eyes. I expected him to say something but I noticed he was silent, what was he thinking? Was he so furious that he doesn't want to say anything? Is he that mad at the decision I made despite our agreement?After a few minutes of silence, I finally forced myself to look up, only to see he was in deep thought."Karen?" I called snapping my fingers in front of his face."Why?" He implored me to still not look at me, which kinda made my heart miss a bit."I just… I am... I am just not ready.." I sputtered shutting my eyes closed.The room went silent again and kind of awkward. A few seconds later I felt Karen's soft palm on my face, making me open my eyes."It's fine… I am not mad at you, it's a choice you need to think about Before taking it…" I gaze at him surprised he was calmly taking this."Are you sure you are not mad or…""It's fine Scarlett I understand you, and I hope you wi
KARENWe all glanced at Scarlett who was also staring back at us with her eyes wide open.My whole body was in pain, the shadows fight quite well… since my wolf is weak I hardly heal and that is what is happening now.I will need to wait for days before healing up completely.My throat went dry, how did they know her… was there something she was still hiding from me.Scarlett reminded me of the story of an innocent secretive angel, I have never seen a secretive Lady like that of Scarlett in my life. She could not be considered too innocent in the strictest sense of the word, for her face has already been marked as the bravest Luna in the clan, not guilty of a crime, not innocent to be trusted. I lost my breath and my clarity of thought both at once shook like a leaf.I am sad she doesn't want to mate with me, it hurt badly thinking of how she kept pushing me away.I was excited already thinking about how the both of us would be mates soon enough not knowing she already had another pl
SCARLETTI looked around staring at the way some members kept running around, which was kind of odd.In my pack when this goes on it definitely means some kind of ceremony is about to take place but what type?My eyes then widen telling me something… "Could it be the arrangement of the wedding…? Yes! I am saying so because he might still want us to be married before noon tomorrow. Since it was the best date chosen for our ceremony.Flanked by Rhoda and Addison, I walked straight back and resolved into the field, around the well, and across the walnut tree, taking no notice of some members of the pack flickering torchlight, now making me know they were obviously looking for someone or something. I offered no word, but all my mind was on Karen.This was no time for explanation. The gracious thing to do was to meet Karen and help him with whatever he might be preparing to do, and also know what kind of game he is playing with me.My eyes even followed Addison as he searched every nook a
LUCAS“Karen is finally out of the way” Greg said moving the Queen to the white square of the Chess board.“Addison would be next, I guess?” I asked him, thinking of how to protect my own Queen, in the game. In celebrating our victory of Karen demise we thought it will be great to play something that would bring out our delight.“Addison is way too smart and would dig out the murderer in no time, that’s very smart of you” Greg said laughing… making me now worried are we going to continue killing all in the name of power and again will I be the only one getting my hands stained and he just laugh freely and enjoy the view.His word is making me to begin getting suspicious of him,.“so are you trying to say if he digs out the murder I am going to be the one he catches?´” I asked to be sure of the kind man I am dealing with before giving him all my trust.“and that is why we need to get him out of the pictures before he does anything stupid and ruin our plan…” Finn said again making me w
SCARLETT They called me to the secret hall, as I stood before Rhoda, Addison and other high leaders like a criminal expecting her Final judgement, I was awaiting their decision. Seeing the look on their faces I needed no one to tell me that my judgement is going to be a good one.Addison and Rhoda glared hardly at me already hoping I disappear from this world or maybe their pack. I still don’t get why Addison hates me let say I understand that of Rhoda.“what do you think her judgement should be?” Karen asked with worries laced on his face, I needed no one to tell me he would have helped me if he was giving the chances, he has been giving that look of pity ever since this happened.“I, Addison, order the witches to kill her wolf,” Addison asserted with no sympathy…“I know nothing about his death, in fact he has been the only one who is nice to me in the whole of this pack and you think I would want something bad to happen to him?” I asked with fury laced in my eyes.“Ever since you
LUCASI stood still in shock watching how Karen walked out of the hall… I thought we had killed him?And now not only is he wasn't dead, but know about Zoe…"How the hell did Karen know about Zoe's pregnancy?" Many thoughts were finding their way into my head.I almost fainted when I saw him appeared in the meeting, but Greg was quick to mindlink not to caution myself so he doesn't have a hint we were behind whatever happened..But that's still killing the thought running in my head, Was he the one that injured Zoe in the woods?Was he the father to the unborn child?So many questions but I never would believe that Karen would have anything to do with Zoe, he wouldn’t have anything to do with her, he was not that woman chaser. Probably, Addison informed him.I was still in the state of confusion trying to wrap my head around things when I felt Greg by my side.."Let's talk!" He growled and strutted faster out of the hall.He must also be confused as I am…."What the hell was that? I t
LUCAS“Zoe we need to talk, and you know what about." I said the moment I got closer to Zoe. The glimpse of her long dark hair curling over her shoulders, and those bright eyes, stirred an innate desire I’d thought I’d never feel for her again. She hadn’t changed much, though she had been a blonde when I saw her earlier this summer following the mate ceremony but women were always dying their hair for reasons beyond my comprehension. No matter, she Looked…clearer than I recalled. And I knew why. I have been sober since Karen told me about Zoe's pregnancy.The door opened again and she stuck her head out. I caught the scent of Coconuts and was instantly transported to that cheesy room amidst giggles and haphazard sex. “I don’t have time for this, Lucas I have an emergency.” she exclaimed, and The door slammed, obliterating all images of that crazy night. For the better this time I leaned against the door, but as I though
WARNING ❗❗❗TORTURE AHEAD NEXT DAYThe morning was bright and more peaceful than other days, but the glooming environment could be felt all over the pack.Rhoda, already lost her life before she was brought out of the well, and for some reasons I felt sorry for her, though I didn't like her but never wished for her to have that ending. It was said that the death of her parent came to her as a shock, and couldn't bear and decided to commit suicide.Karen came out of the hall, with a bundle of sticks and an igniter. While I approached him."I want to burn her, but her body is still soaked in water," Karen said already knowing my question.I didn't want to push the issue knowing Rhoda's death also hurt him, he lost three important people in his life in a role and I could understand his gloominess.“She needs to be dried up before burning her into ashes, that I understand,” I said as I opened the cover slightly.Rhoda’s body was already swollen and having a pungent odor . “But What ab
SCARLETT"Hey Scarlett! Open your eyes.." I felt someone shaking me seriously pleading for me to open my eyes."Stop smiling and open your eyes damn it!" I heard the familiar voice called again.I fluttered my eyes open and loomed around to see I was on the ground and in the arms of a familiar warmth I can never forget."Karen?" I called to be sure I wasn't already with thank goodness."Thank goodness you are fine, didn't I want to be careful and not let any harm come to you or the park member?" I kept fluttering my eyes still in the state of shock not knowing what to say."You are alive?" I asked and pulled him in for a tight embrace, I didn't know how to thank the moon goddess for sending him back to me, I was so delighted being in his warm hold again."Thanks a lot for being alive! I promise not to misuse this opportunity again," I cried out as he pulled me more tightly.Then I pushed him away, "Then you shouldn't have made me believe you were dead." I hit his chest recalling how h
SCARLET"Nancy, stay with me please," I cried as I held her almost cold body." I can't lose another important soul."Nancy, please.. Please…" I continued shaking her, "We need to take her to the pack, before she give.." Nathan stopped talking when he recalled what we were currently go through.Nancy face was paled and I could see how Nathan struggled to stand well, I lost Karen and doesn't even know how to break the news and here is Nancy also dying.Nancy suddenly gripped me pulling me to her so she could talk, "Yo… you.. your blood can save me." She struggles to breathe and of which I was quick to catch on."I picked up her dagger and sliced my palm, dropping my blood into her wound, she groaned painfully, making tears almost dropping out of my eyes.It was just like Karen had groaned painfully, and I couldn't even do anything… "Go save them, I am entrusting them on you." Continuously wiping my tears as my blood kept dripping into her wound. I sliced m uhh palm again, but Nathan st
Nathan pov"Aww.,," I groaned as I felt something hit my head, fluttering my eyes open. I was met with Nancy before me, glaring at me badly."That's hurt." I grumbled, but she just rolled her eyes. "This is no time for you to take a nap." She retorted and sat on the ground innocently like she didn't just hurt me."Hey, that's not fair, I was negotiating, " I murmured and looked ahead to see some warriors coming out of the way.If we had known on time that we already have a traitor, Alpha wouldn't have gone to save Scarlett that way. The moment we got to the pack, we were shocked to see, my pack already turned to that filled with slaves. It was too late to turn backa and save Scarlett pack members, we had no choice but to surrender so we didn't lose more lives. I still hope my one would still be able to hold on, I lost my brother already. I don't know how I would feel if I also lost her."Still can't believe the King had been behind all this." Nancy whispered with a crack voice. I th
I waited for a few more minutes but still didn’t feel any sort of pain or pleasure like have thought, I then opened my eyes hoping because I went numb was the reason whyOnly to see Karen behind me, and Henry bitting deep into his hands, “ What the fuck dude!’ Henry yelled and released Karen.Karen choked him on his neck and was punching him continuously, his eyes were no longer the way it always seems. You need no soothsayer to tell he was more than furious.Henry warriors rushed toward them trying to pull but Karen was way too stronger than them. When Karen was exhausted He stopped throwing him far away and rushed to where I squatted.“Scarlett, get a grip of yourself.” I felt him shaking me, who was still in shock of being marked by the bastard.Here Karen comes again to save me, even though it caused him a lot of pain, he is always the one giving without me even returning his help for once. Still he doesn’t care but always made me his priority. I felt too guilty to even look up t
“What?” I asked to be sure of what he just said, was he not the one who rejected me? Now what?You heard me right, you will be mine soon,” he said and moved closer to me.“Stay away from you bastard!” Just on cue, I felt a silver blade beside my neck the moment I abused him. I looked toward my right side to see It was his Beta, I didn’t notice he was also in his room.“Seethe your sword! She is your future Queen” he roared, of which the Beta did instantly. That was the reason why he had felt familiar the moment I saw him, in my pack we had had our encounter in the past.And he apologized for being too late to me in my pack then because he wanted to have me back.“News flash! Karen is my one and true mate, there is no way I will be your queen so stop dreaming,” I retorted and stood from the bed.“The likes of the so-called mate you want, his pack members, and yours are in my hands…” he pushed me back with a finger and traced his hands till it got under my shin and raised my head up.“
SCARLETTI find myself walking into the familiar woods I always played when I was still a kid, "how did I get here?" I asked no one in particular.I kept walking and walking until I was deep in the wood, I wanted to stop but it was like a force was the one controlling me.I only stopped walking when I found my favorite play spot."You can't catch me!" I heard an angelic little girl's voice, I looked behind me to see a small version of me running around with a grown boy. I couldn't help but wonder who the boy was.Hi, I could tell it wasn't Lucas, but why the hell didn't I recall this exact scene? My head was only filled with me playing with Zoe, Lucas and Nancy."Ahhh!" The little me giggled and from on the ground as the boy tickled me."I told you to run fast," the boy said and continued tickling me.“Sto… stop it.. Hen.. Henry,” my little me managed to breathe out but Henry didn’t stop.“It’s a punishment dear I won’t stop,” I cracked up my brain trying to recall if I ever recall a
ROLS 99“Make sure to take good care of them,” I told Nancy and Nathan. I was on my way to the palace to take Scarlett and it was very dangerous leaving just her members there.I also needed to get Addison buried and some ceremony for him, Nathan was devastated hearing the news of his twin brother’s death, he hasn’t been in a good mood since he heard it.I haven’t been able to have a good conversation with Rhoda because of the issues. She kept acting like she didn’t care but I could see the hurt in her eyes when she was told about the baby’s father’s death.“Make sure to keep an eye on Zoe, she mustn’t escape from your grasp,” I warned dangerously as they both nodded again.“I trust you both on this,” with that, I and my gamma started our journey to the palace.My wolf hasn’t been in a good mood after losing a friend and also his mate being unconscious.I climbed onto my horse which was among the horses brought by my men to help transport some of the weak members and left.A few hours
KAREN“Lucas!” I growled as I and my warriors stormed into his pack, some members rushed out all looking weak and tired, I could see fear in their eyes as they knew who I was and dared not do anything daring at me.“Look who is here,” I heard the lady who has been following what Lucas does and is now an enemy of mine even though I could see clearly that she isn't treated well by lucas.“Grab her,” I ordered and immediately Zoe was pulled by one of my warriors and a dagger was placed on her throat.“Let me go you bastard haven’t you all done enough.?” She asked with fear evident in her voice.“Take me to your mate and I will let you go,” I ordered.“There will be no need for that,” Lucas came out also doing the same thing I saws doing to hisi wa to Rhoda.Rhoda face was filled with bruises and the robe she was putting on was torn showing her pultruding tommy. One could tell that her baby was going to come at any time. In anger I pulled Zoe toward me and broke her right arm. The sound
