Scarlet POVImmediately I clutch my hands across the collar of his white long-sleeve shirt, everywhere is suddenly silent, causing the hair at the back of my neck to rise.I take a turn to see the audience, and I can’t imagine how large it is all the way from the stage, and all eyes are on me. Not even the sound of a breath can be heard. If anyone had dropped a pin on the floor, it would have made the loudest noise.They all look at me like a strange thing. Some eyes say, Who the fuck is that?Some whisper, "Why is she holding the leader like that? She doesn’t even smell like us. Damn, she smells like something else. I hear so many whispers, and my pulse begins to rise and fall like the tide of an ocean."Who the fuck are you, that you are holding our leader that way?!” A man shouts from the front row, and that is when the audience erupted into a loud laughter.The bones in my knees begin to feel weak as their weird gazes penetrate through my skin. I’ve never felt this awkward like th
Scarlet POVRavet lets out a mocking laugh when he notices how frightened I have become. Damn it, why did I let him see how badly his words affected me? It is not really anything I can help when my family is involved. I do not joke with them. Not even for a second. I bite my lip and struggle hard to keep up a strong composure. He must not see me as weak. He does not deserve that power.He keeps laughing like I'm a damn comedy show as I'm standing in front of him and it boils my blood. I clench my fists at my sides and I glare at him angrily. Why does he think he can laugh at me that way? I clench my fists angrily at my sides.He climbs out of his seat and drops his glass of wine on the table. "Relax Scarlet," he says slowly as he walks around me in a slow circle. I freeze in the spot I'm standing, glaring at him so hard that I think lava will come up from the ground and burn him up. "Don't you think I would not want to get you scared?" He asks and I remain still where I'm standing.I
Supreme POVI open my eyes to the light of the sun shining into my room. I feel refreshed from the beauty sleep I just had. It has been two nights since I carried out that torture on Dave and since then, I have been feeling a lot better. It is as if doing those things has put me on my healing journey from all the things he did to me. The physical abuse, the mental abuse, the emotional abuse and the trauma I seem to be suffering from. I know it sounds cruel, but I believe he deserves everything he got from me, because of all the things he has done to me. I will make sure to check on him later. When I tortured him, I was considering leaving him to continue bleeding, but that would have been far too cruel than I could do and he probably would have bled to death or got infected. I still wasn't done with him, so I did not want him dead. I climb out of my bed and stretch my arms above my head with a big, satisfied yawn. My muscles that were sore from work the previous night before I went
Scarlet's POV"Look Ravet, or whatever your name is, I just want my family back. You are a twisted psychopath sorcerer and you have made that obvious. You have said a bunch of shit too. I just want to see my family. Surely, you just know not seeing them for this long can drive someone insane," I say, trying to see if I can negotiate with this crazy bastard. I am angry buy I really have to get my family away from him and leave as soon as possible."You do not seem to understand," he says and starts to walk around me slowly again. This time the feeling I get is not just anger. It is a chilling fear. It is as if he is the predator and I am the cornered prey that will never be saved from him. I despise the feeling."If you are trying to negotiate this with me, I assure you you will have no luck with that. I have made my terms clear and unless you are ready to fulfil them, you will not see your family," he says and I turn to glare at him furiously.If only I can summon molten lava from the
Noah POVI pace up and down the hallway, wondering what Scarlet has been doing in there for so long. Through the mate bond, I can feel the whirlwind of emotions that are going through her and I am filled with worry and frustration. What exactly is that bastard saying or doing to my mate to make her feel this way.If he is doing anything to her, so help me, I am going to burn this whole coven to the ground. The thought fills me with anger and I pace even faster. The only thing keeping me from storming inside that room is the fact that Scarlet begged me to stay away for now.She wants to do this on her own and I sincerely understand. She knows I will lose it if I have to deal with the fucker that took our loved ones, and she has considered what is at stake if I should do something angrily that will cause him to hurt them.A smile comes to my face. Not only is she gorgeous, she is incredibly smart and wise to. What did I do to the moon goddess to deserve this amazing woman as my mate.My
Noah POVI look at Scarlet and I shake my head to be sure I did not have something in my ears when I heard those words. Michelle starts to cry but I can not care less in that moment. All I want to do is confirm if I heard Scarlet right."What did you say?" I question slowly, walking towards her with my heart in my mouth. It is racing so fast that I think it will explode eventually."I am not going with you, Noah. I am going to stay here," she says firmly and my heart stops, freezes and shatters. The pain is beyond emotional, it has become physical at this point and I have to grit my teeth to stop myself from screaming out my pain.There is only one thing staying here means. She does not want me anymore. My eyes that have moved from her move back up to her and I find the sorcerer standing beside her with a self satisfied smirk on his face. She wants him. She wants to stay with him.No... No, there is no way this is happening."Scarlet, stop. Whatever this is, you have to stop it," I te
Scarlet POVRavet looks at me with a gentle smile on his face and I smile back at him. "Come on, we have to send them off," he tells me and I nod, following him as he walks out of the room, down the hallway and towards the entryway that leads out of the building.He walks with even more pride in his footsteps than before. He thinks he has won. Well he has. He has gotten me to stay with him and my family is leaving. Noah is leaving. We walk out of the building and he speaks with triumph and pride in his voice."Goodbye," the level of pride in that one word is almost ridiculous. I watch Noah. He is stiff in all of his movements. He does not turn back to look at me. He does not seem to want to fight for me. He is respecting my decision to stay here and it hurts him too much to look at me because he might lose his control.I look away from him to my family. Michelle and Jane are crying the most. Mom is hugging Ryle and I quickly look away from her. I hope all of them can forgive me for th
Scarlet's POV"We have a variety of outfits that Lord Ravet chose for you," Katherine says and the blonde one of the two girls smiles. I remember that the blonde girl has not told me her name and it will be rude to keep calling her 'the blonde girl', even though it is in my head."You did not tell me your name," I tell her as she takes my hand and pulls me up from the bed. She smiles at me as if we have been friends for ages and I do not know how to react, because I am not really sure I plan to make friends."I thought you would never ask," she says and I smile awkwardly. Katherine sees my awkward smile and laughs hard at my expense. "Tiana, you promised you would not make her uncomfortable." Katherine says, looking at me with sympathy at the fact that I am stuck with the blond girl I now discover is Tiana."I was supposed to tell her my name myself!" Tiana exclaims, lunging for Katherine and surprising her. "What do you mean?" Katherine asks incredulously, jumping out of the way of T
Scarlet POVI don’t believe that Noah is so skilled with these spells. As soon as he locked Ravet up so he wouldn’t wake up and get his freedom again, Noah set the whole place ablaze with magic."How did you know about that?” My eyes widen, and my mouth falls open."I read a lot, baby.” He comes closer as he glues his lips to mine, kissing me unexpectedly.“ Gosh. I miss your lips so much.” He smiles as he throws me into his arms, and then he summons up a passage for us to return to the pack. Just the same way we got here."And I miss everything about you, Noah.” I whisper as I rub his chest, staring so long at his face as though I haven’t seen him for a decade."We have a lot to catch up on. Let’s go back home first.” He plants a kiss on my forehead as he steps into the passage, while I cling to him by wrapping my hands around his neck tightly."I'm glad we were fine in the end.” I say this as we appear back in our bedroom, at the exact spot where we stayed."You need to rest; you lo
Scarlet POVI’m back in this place again, but this time to fight and defeat Ravet, who is a fucking dick for not being able to take his eyes off someone’s woman.I walk through the aisle, embedded in silence. I think this trap isn’t going to work this time because I have already attained a realm here, and that will keep me from falling into the trap.Noah walks through behind me, and I quickly give him the signal that someone is coming to attack him from behind.He catches the sign as soon as possible and is able to rebuke the spells that were about to be cast on him.I smirk, knowing that Noah isn’t going to accept defeats this time. He takes full control of the fight, and his spells seem to be stronger than theirs as the guy gets trapped in Noah's spell."Be trapped.” He shoves his hands at another one, running all the way from the next door beside the entrance of the hallway.I break into a run as I sense something strange. Ravet is doing something that will lead to a massive break
Scarlet POVI hold Michelle beside me as I approach the staircase. I look around the mansion and rub my hands on the furniture. I miss my home so much.I don’t believe I was back in my pack. It still feels like a dream. My eyes are still so heavy with tears as I stare at Noah and my best friend. It feels so great, and I didn’t think Noah would ever find a way back to me."Come with me to the room; you need to rest, Scarlet.” He trails his eyes around my body, then a deep frown settles on his face when he realizes the scar on my wrist. It isn’t a big deal; it was just the way Ravet held me so tight when he was taking me to the dark room."Did he hurt you?” his voice deeper as his eyes get fiercer."No, it’s nothing, Noah. It was just a minor scar.” I explain, but the anger remains in his eyes."I would fucking break him.” He says under his breath while he puts his hand around my waist so he could lead me to the room that we both shared.I couldn’t say a word. And the way he held me rem
"Where are you taking me?” Panic fills my voice as Ravet wraps his fist tightly around my wrist."To a safe place.” His tone is a bit stern, as if he is upset or something."What is happening? Why is the whole castle rowdy?” I shout on top of my voice because of how noisy it is, as if people were getting ready for some battles."We received a threat, and we might be attacked anytime soon.” He shouts at the top of his lungs."I don’t get it. By who? Ain’t you a sorcerer?” I’m a bit confused by his whole composure. The Ravet, I know, shouldn’t be shaken by any threat."The threat is from the most powerful coven, and I don’t know what it is about yet. I just need to protect you first before I focus on dealing with the issue." He says this and still takes me forward as he walks fast."Can't I protect myself? Didn’t you say I have attained some realms in the coven?” I argue, still not getting the point."You don’t know how to use it yet. So it is the same as being futile because you can’t
Scarlet POV“ Give me your hand, Scarlet. Do not be scared.” He whispers in his deep voice. I stretch out my shaking hands to him and he brings out a knife from his pocket.“ You might not want to see this, you can close your eyes.” He instructed, I nod as I take my eyes to the other side while I feel the knife cutting through my flesh.“ Arghh!” I growl for a while as my wolf tried to reduce the pain and make me heal faster.He pour my blood into a bowl and he finally let go of my wrist. I hold my wrist as I feel the pain, it begin to close up suddenly as the pain reduces.I watch Ravet shut his eyes closed as he begin to mutter some words that I couldn’t understand. Then he lift the bowl containing my blood up as though he is doing some witchcraft that I still do not know yet.Once he is done, he throws the bowl to the ground as the blood splashes all over the floor.“ What are you doing?” my eyes widen as I didn’t expect that. And suddenly I begin to feel strange heat from the insi
Scarlet POVI heard his voice all the way from my dream as though I was having a nightmare, causing me to snap my eyes open.I suddenly wake up to see that he is reading while he sits on the table close to the window.My hair is quite a mess, as it’s all over my body. I narrow my eyes as I try to adjust to the morning sunlight.When my eyes are completely open, I see that I’m totally naked in bed, and the only thing giving me coverage was the thick white blanket.Damnit. I grit my teeth as I feel so much hatred for myself. My stomach churned from so much sick feeling and the fact that I woke up naked in his damn bed.This is the biggest mistake of my life, and I better think of a way to get out of the mess. How do I even want to do that because I’m fucking clueless and feel like I’m trapped here forever?Or how the fuck do I explain everything to Noah? How would he believe me after I had allowed another man to touch me? Gosh, he would look at me with disgust and hate me like shit."S
Scarlet POV I think I shouldn’t have asked Ravet to teach me about spells yesterday, and now I don’t know what to do because he expects us to consummate our marriage, and I do not want any of that. I grab my white towel as I step out of the bathtub and wrap it around my body. I slide into a light red night gown and wear some fragrances while I sit in front of the mirror. I’m going out to spend some time with Tiana and Katherine; it wouldn’t be bad if I asked them some questions about the leader of the coven. Was there any benefit to their wives? They must be. Just as you are the wife of an Alpha, when he marks you, you possess some powers that he does. I turn off the light in my bedroom and step out. I walk slowly in the hall as it is a bit dark and it is just past 7 p.m. I know Ravet wouldn’t be in his room by now. He has business to attend to, and he still needs to entertain most of the visitors that came for the party. As I walk, I hear some noises coming from my right, and t
Scarlet POVI begin to walk inside the library between the library shelves as the light comes up.I’ve been trying to figure out how to start learning the spell or Latin, and I just have to do it real quick because I’m sick and tired of this place. I fucking can’t wait to leave!I stomp my feet hard on the floor as I complain in my head. Shit, the sharp pain in my head increases after what I just did. How can I forget so soon that my head has been in a worse condition?I pack my gown into one side; it’s quite long and thick, and it makes me so uncomfortable. Especially when I have to walk a little fast and smart.I’m sure Ravet is still sleeping in the bedroom after last night’s party, and if he should be awake anytime soon, then I will be doomed, and that means that I might not be able to read voluminously today.Whatever way I need to get started, I climb through one of the chairs that I spotted beside a table, since I do not have the patience to find a ladder around. I go up on the
Scarlet POVI wake up with the worst headache ever. My head is pounding heavily and I open my eyes. The bright sun shines into it and I groan, looking away from the bright beams. I stand up and get out of my bed.I head to the bathroom. I am still in the black dress that Katherine and Tiana prepared and helped me wear the previous night.I look at my face in the mirror and even though my makeup is intact, I still somehow look like crap. I run my hands through my hair and wonder what the heck is going on with me.I brush my teeth, take a cold bath, do my daily routine and head out into the room again. My headache somehow gets better but it is still there and my head is still throbbing. I walk into the closet and pick the simplest of all the elegant dresses that are hanging up in the closet.I stuff my body into a corset and all the whole I am doing it, I am complaining bitterly under my breath. I know I am going to have to endure this shit for a long while more. It irritates me but the
