Scarlett's POV I went back to my room with a heavy heart as it bled with pain. I sat at the foot of the bed and I couldn't help but wept bitterly at how my life had turned out. I have always dreamt of living a peaceful life with my mate while I was growing up but I never knew life had different things planned out for me. Everyone mocked me because I don't have a wolf and when I thought that I was finally going to be happy when the goddess blessed me with my mate then, I got pregnant. "What a pathetic life I have," I muttered to myself. I wiped the tears off my face with the back of my hand as I paced towards the window. I looked at my wrist that was scratched from the way Alpha Carlos gripped me angrily. I gazed outside the window and I realized that the night was still young. "Is my life going to be like this now? I don't have friends to talk to, no phone to call my father and I'm not even allowed to go out. What sort of life is this? Why am I so unlucky?" I asked with fresh
Scarlett's POV I frowned when I saw Jane pacing towards me with an evil grin. She's the last person that I want to see right now because I know she's gonna ruin my night.I wanted to just turn around and leave but she had already gotten closer to me. " Hello, dear sister," She said in a mocking tone. "What do you want?" I asked impatiently as I was not ready for her trouble and I didn't want her to ruin my mood. She inched closer to me with an evil grin on her face, " Well, I didn't see you at the gathering and I was wondering why our dear Luna is not present?" she spat, lifting her left brown. "Did you go to hide your face in shame just like you always do?" she mocked me and I felt my blood boiling with rage. I felt a pang in my chest as her words sliced my heart into pieces. I always go into hiding since I was a child whenever I was being bullied and my father is not around to protect me but she doesn't need to remind me because most of the things that happened to me were be
Chapter 12Carlos POVI went back to the gathering, thinking of how I had shouted at Scarlett.I could see the pain she was going through in her eyes which shattered my heart into a million pieces. I still loved her deeply and my wolf was restless, calling out for her but I got mad whenever I saw her and I knew that another life was growing inside of her, and it wasn't mine. I couldn't bring myself to forgive her even if I still loved her. “ Arh!” I groaned as her sad face kept appearing on my head, making my heart ache in pain. "I need to see her, I need to inhale her sweet scent to calm my wolf," I mumbled under my breath. I left the gathering and decided to go see her in her room. I swung her door open and stepped in but she wasn't in her room, I checked the restroom but she wasn't there. I knew she told me earlier that she would be going to the garden to get fresh air, is she not back yet? I sat on the bed and decided to wait for her because I knew I wouldn't be able to sl
Scarlett's POV"He just kissed me! I finally shared my first kiss with my mate!!" I screamed and rolled on the bed with excitement. "I can't believe this, it felt like a dream," I murmured, pinching myself to be sure that I wasn't dreaming. I sat down on the bed with a smile on my face, touching my lips as I remembered the way Alpha Carlos had kissed me.I felt a shock of pleasure immediately after our lips met and the feeling was so sweet that I wished it could remain that way. " Mmm... Alpha Carlos is a good kisser." I blushed at the thought. The feeling was so electrifying"But, does this mean that we are on a good term now? Has he forgiven me? Is he going to accept me and the child in my womb? Different thoughts run through my head.Well, This is a good sign that he still has feelings for me, yeah, I can feel that he's gonna come back to me. "Don't think of anything, have a good night's rest, and don't miss me too much." I heard Alpha Carlos's voice in my head, jolting me out
Scarlett's POV.My whole body shivered in fear when I saw Alpha Carlos, stepping closer to me with anger written all over his face."Uhm, your Highness, that's not true. She was the one that atta...." I was cut off by Alpha Carlos who slapped me viciously across my face. I still hadn't recovered from the shock when he landed another one on my face, making me feel dizzy and ringing in my ears and blood dripping out of my lips.Felix gasped in shock as he ran to hold me when he saw me staggered backward, holding my cheeks that were burning with pain.I looked at him with tears glittering in my eyes, " You... You didn't even wait to hear my side of the story and you slapped me?" I asked, choking on my words with tears of pain falling down my cheeks.He narrowed his eyes and stared at me murderously and I shivered at his cold glare. "Why should I listen to your side of the story when I already know the truth?" he replied, staring at me with disgust. "Your Highness, Princess Jane was the
I was pacing forth and back in my study room with anger as my heart bled with pain. " There is a rumor going around that your mate was pregnant with another man's child and some even said she was a...." Alpha Ransfort's words kept ringing in my head. She was what? What was he trying to say? I massage my temple as my heart weighs heavily in my chest with different thoughts running through my head. Could it be that what people were saying about her was true? Was she a slut as people portray her to be? " Fuck!!! " I groan in frustration as I hit the wall of the room continuously, scratching my knuckles in the process. I got frustrated and lost interest in the document I was working on.I left the study room and was pacing towards my chamber, deep in thought when I heard a commotion that jolted me out of my thoughts. "What could be happening there that causes all this noise?" I asked myself as I paced toward the direction where the voices were coming from. I was stunned when I
Felix POV.I felt my heart beating uncontrollably like a beast threatening to escape its cage when Alpha Carlos told me that he would punish me for speaking after he told me not to.I can't just stand and watch without doing anything. I mean, how did he expect me to keep quiet and watch Jane, throwing hurtful words at Scarlett when I knew that she was lying?I don't mind taking whatever punishment he wanted to give me as long as Scarlett was alright but I was sad when Scarlett wanted to take my punishment instead. I was thinking that Alpha Carlos might just tell her to not go out of her chambers, probably for two days as her punishment but I was shocked and rendered momentarily dazed when Alpha Carlos told Scarlett that she would be serving as a maid in the palace. His words sent my heartbeat flying like it was picked up by a whirlwind. I was furious, my blood boiling with rage, this was the height of humiliation. How can he send a pregnant woman, his mate, and Luna to serve as a m
Jane's POVMy heart hammered against my chest in fear when Felix looked at me with terror, his eyes blazing with anger. " No, it's a promise," he whispered and I trembled as he imposed fear in me before leaving the garden with rage. I was shocked at how I was shivering in fear, almost bowing to his order when he ordered me never to call him a bastard or bully Scarlett again. " Who is he? Why does he have so much effect on me? Why was he able to impose fear on me" I asked myself in disbelief because it's only a powerful Alpha or a Wolf King that can have such power on me since I'm also an alpha breed. I shrugged the weird feelings off " I will make you and Scarlett pay for what you just did to him now," I muttered through gritted teeth as I looked in the direction that he had just gone. Was it because I rejected him, he was now taking sides with Scarlett? that bitch!! I hate her so much, she was the reason why my father never gave me all the love and attention that I ever wanted
Scarlett's POV My heart froze when I saw the house. It was vandalized, everything scattered and broken. My legs felt weak, but I pushed myself forward with my heart pounding in my chest.I stepped into the living room and met it in chaos, and my grandma was lying in a pool of her blood, making my heart skip a beat. “No... Grandma!” I gasped, rushing to her side as tears blurred my vision. “What happened? Who did this to you?” I cried, my hands trembling as I shook her gently. “Please wake up! Please!”Carlos ran to me, checking her pulse. “She’s still breathing,” he said, his voice steady despite the chaos. He called out to Phillip, ordering him to call an ambulance.I let out a shaky breath, but then a new fear gripped me. “My child! Where’s Elliot?” I stood up, my heart racing with dread.“Where is he?” Carlos asked, his voice trembled as he scanned the room.I rushed to my bedroom, frantically searching, but he wasn’t there. We searched through the entire house, calling his name
Alpha Carlos's POV.I was stunned when Phillip told me he knew where Scarlett was. Rage filled me. He knew all this time, and yet he watched me search everywhere for her without saying a word?“How long have you known?” I asked, my voice trembling with anger.“I’m sorry, Alpha. She made me promise not to tell anyone,” Phillip said, his voice sincere, but it did nothing to calm me.“Where is she?” I demanded, my patience gone.“She’s at her grandmother’s house,” he confessed, avoiding my eyes.“Do you know the way?”“Yes, I walked close to the village before I turned back.”I stared at him, shocked. He knew all along. My fists clenched as I struggled to hold back the rage threatening to explode.Without another word, I ordered him to gather the guards. I needed to see her. Now.I headed inside to freshen up. I hadn’t taken a proper shower ever since Scarlett left. When I came back out, the guards were already assembled, waiting for me.Phillip led us through a hidden tunnel, each step
Scarlett's POVI was stunned when I received Alpha Carlos’s message. He confessed that he was the one responsible for my pregnancy. My heart twisted with pain, and tears streamed down my cheeks as I read his words. How could he have known all this time and still humiliate and treat me like garbage? How cruel could he be?I ignored his calls and messages, my hatred for him growing with each passing second. I don’t think I can ever forgive him for what he did to me. Felix also called, but as soon as he mentioned Alpha Carlos, I ended the call. I don’t want anything to do with Alpha Carlos ever again. The pain he caused me is unbearable. I threw my phone onto the bed, changed my clothes, and lay down, hoping sleep would come.Later that evening, I was sitting in the living room, talking with my grandma when I suddenly caught my father's scent."I think my father is here," I whispered, my heart pounding.Grandma looked at me in surprise. "How do you know, You don't have a wolf?""I can sm
Alpha Carlos's POV"I said, where is my daughter!!" Alpha Austin, Scarlett's father roared, his face contorted with anger."Uhm, welcome Alpha Austin." I said, trying to compose myself as I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration.Ever since I married Scarlett and Alpha Austin called to apologize to me and I refused. I hadn't spoken to him ever since then out of anger. I was angry because he was aware that Scarlett was pregnant and he didn't let me know about it before the wedding day.Seeing him now made me feel guilty, knowing fully well that I was the one responsible for that pregnancy. I don't know what to say, I regretted my actions. I should have listened to his plea and treated Scarlett better."Uhm, Scarlett is missing." I blurted out and he gasped in shock."What did you just say? What happened to my daughter? What have you done to her?" He shouted, his eyes burning like fire. To say that he was angry would be an understatement, he was furious."She slept in her room las
Alpha Carlos's POV I was told by one of my guards that Felix was here to see Scarlett. I saw it as an opportunity for me to appreciate him for everything he did for Scarlett. Felix and Phillip were the one that stood by her when everyone, including me abandoned her. They claimed to be responsible for her Pregnancy even when they knew the consequences involved in it. They did that just to protect her from shame. Something I was supposed to do for her as her mate. These two deserve my appreciation. I will forever be very grateful to her. I stepped into Scarlett's room and met them, chatting and laughing. The happiness in a Scarlett voice was something I have never seen in her before. She was genuinely happy and excitement. That moment, I made a vow to love, protect and always make her happy. They were surprised when when I surprised when I show my gratitude to Felix. Yeah, it was something I had never done in my life before. After Felix has left to her pack, I decided to confessed
Scarlett's POV"Oh, Felix. You are here?" Alpha Carlos exclaimed as he stepped in and we all glanced at each other in disbelief . I thought he would be angry and probably send him out.Felix and Elena stood up and greeted him with respect and Alpha Carlos sat beside me on the bed."So, when did you get here?" He asked with a smile, taking Elliot from Elena."We arrived not too long ago ." Felix said, looking at his strange attitude.Elliot squeezed his eyes open and smiled at Alpha Carlos, revealing his two little dimples."Aww! So cute!" Alpha Carlos murmured, kissing Elliott on his forehead.I looked at him with confusion, wondering if he was aware that he is his father and still pretending.He looked at Elena with a smile, "This is Elena right?" Elena nodded her head in response, "How are you feeling now?""I feel better now, your Highness." Elena responded.We looked at Felix, his eyes filled with emotions, "Thank you, Felix for taking care of Scarlett. I'm very grateful." he said
Scarlett's POVIt was a beautiful sports car. The type I've always wanted. Well, now that I have money, I am going to buy it for myself.I smiled as I stepped into the living room with the thought of that car in my head. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I don't know when I bump into someone."Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to....." My words were cut off in my throat when I raised my gaze to see who it was and my gaze fell on Alpha Carlos who was gazing at me with a smile, holding something in his hand."I'm sorry for startling you." his voice came in a whisper, running his hand through his hair nervously like a high school prince who was meeting his crush for the first time. "It's okay. If you don't have anything to say, I will like you to excuse me." I said irritably, trying to leave but he blocked my way."Uhm, I got in the car. The sports car you've always wanted. Now that you have a new baby, I thought it would be better if you had a car, it would be easier for you to go whe
Scarlett's POVI left the midwife house after having a heated conversation with Jane. She was yelling at me, telling me to go back to Felix because there is no more place for me in Alpha Carlos' heart."leave this palace with your bastard. I knew you planned with that old useless midwife, claiming that the child belongs to Alpha Carlos but you have failed. I will prove to Alpha Carlos that he wasn't the one responsible for your pregnancy." she shouted, pointing her index fingers on me. I looked at her with fury, "You are just a bad dog who just escaped from the cage and it's running around with nowhere in particular. You are only deceiving yourself if you think that Alpha Carlos would ever love you." I glared at her with disgust. She doesn't know that I have got over Alpha Carlos and I only agreed to come back here with him because I just feel like not because of something else. "How dare you call me a mad dog?" she yelled out angrily, raising her hand to slap me but I got it halfw
Felix's POVFather's face was full of worries as he held his phone to his ear with his hand trembling."Which hospital? " He asked in panic, "we will be there in a jiffy.""Who was that?" I asked, stepping closer to him with my heart pounding in my chest."It's Elena.""What about her?" I asked with my heart thumping in my chest, praying that it's shouldn't be that she has commit suicide as she has threatened."She jumped into the river because she wanted to commit suicide."My heart leaped to my throat when I heard what my father had just said. "I will kill myself if you leave me." Her words echoed in my head. I never knew that she meant it. I just hope that she's alright because I don't think I will be able to forgive myself should anything happen to her."Is she alright? Where is she now." I inquired impatiently."She was rescued by a Fisherman and she has been rushed to the city hospital." He said with a painful heart.I rushed upstairs and quickly changed into new clothes befor
