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 POV"No more," I begged Katherine and she looked at Tiana before she laughed. "Please I don't want to see any more. These three are enough for me to choose from." I complain."Well, I would have loved to leave you alone, but Master Ravet had instructed that we show you every single one and let you go through them and make a choice on your own," she tells me and I go silent." We are only allowed to tell you our opinions in a way that they will not influence your choice. We are not to tell you what to pick or even 'help' you," she tells me and puts air quotes on the word help. I nod, wondering what Ravet is like to them. Will they mind if they ask? Will they report me? What will they say? Will they answer me?I keep quiet. I do not want to push my luck. A lot has happened in one day and I am only lucky to be completely sane at this point. I do not want to do anything that will put me in trouble in this place. They may seem friendly, but there is a limit to how friendly a peopl
