Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 114: Tell Us , Garland 2
Lucian’s POVGarland let out a slow, tired sigh, like he’d been waiting for this question. “It has always been about the strongest taking everything,” he began, his voice bitter but resigned. “Before Nikolay, conquest wasn’t just a way of life—it was survival. Your parents, if they had lived longer, would have taught you the same. That’s what Valkin alphas do. They maintain power by gaining more of it. Packs that fail to produce Valkin are destined to lose. Nikolay…” He trailed off, shaking his head.“That bastard wanted peace. He believed he was created to bring balance and stability, and he pursued it with ruthless determination. Even your parents didn’t agree with his vision entirely. The lands they acquired were won through conquest. But Nikolay decided conquest was done. He wanted everyone to stay in their regions, to settle, to ‘give peace a chance.’ And so here we are.”He exhaled again, the weight of history and his own mistakes evident in his voice. I watched him closely, his

Lucian’s POV“Why do you say that?” I asked, narrowing my eyes as I searched Garland’s face for any hint of manipulation.“There’s no way these groups could have risen so suddenly and powerfully without your knowledge—unless David Moreski hasn’t been giving you accurate reports,” Garland replied, his tone sharp with conviction. “And if that’s the case, he’s hiding something. Think about it. Do you know how Nikolay died?”I shook my head, a flicker of discomfort rippling through me. None of us had ever asked Scarlett about her father’s death. We were too relieved to be free from his shadow to care about the details.Garland leaned forward slightly, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial tone. “Nikolay went to battle and came back poisoned with silver. That’s a wound a man like him should’ve been able to recover from—but he never healed. He died. David went to that battle with him and returned completely unscathed.”The room grew colder as his words sank in.“He didn’t have a Luna to te
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 116: Optimistic
Scarlett’s POVHonestly, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for Garland. He didn’t strike me as inherently evil—just arrogant, presumptuous, and blinded by his own ambitions. But no matter how I felt, I couldn’t ignore the reality of the situation: if Garland had succeeded, we would all be dead.There was no way to sugarcoat that truth. Still, I couldn’t shake the thought that forging allies was more crucial than eliminating presumed enemies, especially now, with the storm we knew was coming. Sometimes survival wasn’t about vengeance but about building bridges where there once were none.I left the interrogation room with Lucian following close behind. It was clear he had decided to leave the rest to Clay and Maxwell. Their presence was steady, and I trusted them to manage things. As we walked back to the pack house, the quiet between us was broken by his voice.“What have you been up to all day?” he asked casually, though I could sense the undercurrent of curiosity in his to
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 117: Meeting Alison
Scarlett’s POVMorning came quietly, and I noticed right away that Maxwell and Clay weren’t in the apartment. Lucian explained that they had left early to attend to matters in their respective territories. Apparently, they might not be returning anytime soon. Clay, however, had made me something special before leaving—a small, sweet gesture that made me smile—and Lucian assured me they had promised to call when they could. It seemed they had been in a rush to get their affairs in order.“What exactly did they go to do?” I asked Lucian, sipping my orange juice.“They went to arrest the defective Alphas who handed their territories over to Garland without proper authorization,” he said, his tone sharp with disapproval. “They may hold the title of Alpha, but we own the region. It’s our right to choose who leads each territory, and it’s time we reinforced that point. The power dynamics need to be clear.”His gaze softened as he looked at me, a small smile tugging at his lips. “I have plac
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 118: Alison’s Side 1
Scarlett’s POV“That is why I cannot consult for you fully, Scarlett,” Elsa said, her tone laced with a mix of sadness and reverence. “Every Valkin has a star, and that star chooses the seer who is meant to serve them. The only reason I could glimpse your star at all was because your mates are my Alphas.”Her words made everything fall into place—why Elsa had sought out Alison and why she had said she couldn’t serve me directly. It wasn’t a matter of will but of destiny itself.“Our connection,” Alison continued, “solidified the fact that you are a Valkin, Scarlett. But when I glimpsed your destiny, it was…” She hesitated, her voice dropping into a mournful tone. “It was horrific. Pain, anger, turmoil, depression, betrayal, anguish, longing, hatred, redemption, love, and vulnerability. All of it—woven into your path.”She sounded almost defeated, her sadness palpable. “I told your father you would have a hard life. That your mate would hurt and betray you.” She paused, her eyes flicki
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 118: Alison’s Side 2
Scarlett’s POVTears began streaming down her cheeks. “They told me I had created a great evil. That the union between your father and Gweniver—despite not yielding magic—had still created something dark. The bond, paired with the seer’s blessing, had corrupted the child in her womb. That child would bring calamity.”Her voice cracked as she continued, “I was devastated. And your mother… your mother was hurt beyond words. She felt betrayed by your father, furious that he had gone behind her back. But she was also a woman of action. She saw the threat and recognized the danger. With your father away fighting his war, she decided to take it upon herself to fix the problem.”Alison’s voice dropped to a whisper, trembling with emotion. “Your mother hunted Gweniver down. It wasn’t easy. Gweniver was a seer, after all, and she could always see when your mother was coming. She evaded her for months, using her abilities to stay one step ahead. But eventually, her luck ran out. Your mother cau
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 119: Garland Kept His Promise
Lucian’s POVTwo days had passed, and Scarlett was still struggling to regain herself. The revelations about her parents, her destiny, and the looming threat had left her shaken.Clay and Maxwell hadn’t returned yet, leaving me to handle things on my own.We couldn’t even take our planned trip to Bluemount because of her state. I stayed in Redcape with her, watching as she tried—and failed—to focus on her training. Her magic was unstable, particularly the wind element, which seemed to mirror the chaos in her heart.“Alpha, Alpha Harold has sent the prisoner. She’s been placed in a cell,” William, my beta, informed me. His words caught me off guard. Garland had actually kept his promise and sent that treacherous bitch, Stasia, to me.My blood boiled at the thought of her. Stasia’s betrayal had cut deep, and now that she was here, the prospect of delivering justice filled me with a dark satisfaction. I couldn’t deny the anticipation I felt at taking my pound of flesh. She deserved every

Scarlett’s POVI was in the garden meditating, trying to tame the fire element that seemed so eager to flare out of control. As a result of my focus, the wind element had been acting up, swirling unpredictably around me.Alison had been a tremendous help, guiding me as I began to understand the individual nature of each magic and how to balance them as a whole. Still, my mind felt heavy, burdened by the truths I had uncovered about my parents and the painful legacy they left behind.I knew I couldn’t dwell in this grief forever. My people needed me, and it was time to embrace the strength and determination of my parents.They had been fierce and strong, their only flaw being that they cared too much. That flaw, I decided, would become my greatest strength as I worked to finish what my mother had started eighteen years ago.Lucian’s voice suddenly broke through my thoughts, linking with me.“Come to the field. I have a gift for you,” he said, his tone carrying an edge of anticipation.

Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 130: After The Fight 2
Clay’s POVKeith exhaled slowly, his gaze distant. “I’m relieved to know that fate didn’t mess up, that it was meddling. For a while, I really believed fate had made a terrible mistake. I also thought seers didn’t wield magic,” he admitted.“Me too,” I replied. “But apparently, this group of outcasts did. They were cast out because they dabbled in dark arts. It wasn’t natural magic; it was corruption. They learned how to use the spirits for more than just insight. They twisted it for their own purposes.”Keith shook his head, his frustration evident. “I guess this is something we’ll need to look out for in the future.”I gave him a faint smile. “I guess so,” I said, though the smile faded quickly. Keith sighed and patted my shoulder.“Emerald and I will depart tomorrow,” he said reluctantly. “Please, keep me updated on Scarlett’s condition.”“I will,” I promised, understanding how hard it was for him to leave. Keith and Scarlett had shared a history, brief as it was, and while he had
Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 130: After The Fight 1
Clay’s POVIt had been six days since the battle, six days since the blood-soaked fields bore witness to our desperate fight for survival. The cost had been steep—lives lost on both sides—but in the end, victory was ours.Yet it felt hollow. Scarlett’s move, the one that had turned the tide, was as miraculous as it was terrifying. Now, as she lay unconscious on the bed, her chest rising and falling faintly, I knew the price she’d paid was far greater than we had imagined.Her body was locked in a battle of its own, trying to repel the darkness that clung to her after pulling Nikolay’s corrupted spirit from his body. It wasn’t just lingering—it was gripping her tightly, refusing to let go, tethering itself to her in a way we didn’t understand.Alison had called Nikolay’s magic element “Spirit,” the same force Scarlett had avoided using until the final moments. She knew its corruptive potential and still had no choice but to wield it to end the war. Now, the price of that choice was pai
Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 129: The Puppet 4
Scarlett’s POVThe corruption from Nikolay’s dark aura showed itself as faint black smoke weaving into the flames. I ignored it. My mind was clear, my goal unwavering: to win.With a snarl, I lunged at Nikolay. We collided mid-air, teeth, claws, and raw power clashing in a blur of grey and green.The battle became a blur of instincts and strategy. He was fast and strong—I had to give him that. But I was stronger.“He’s trying to steal our magic. Be careful,” Midnight warned through the link as our teeth snapped at his neck.I tried to find an opening, to bite down on his spine and end it. But he was as relentless as I was, his jaws snapping at my hind leg. Pain shot through me as he managed to push me back, but I didn’t relent.The fight was vicious. I sent waves of magic his way—fire, earth, water, and wind—but he overcame each attack with a tenacity that rivaled my own.My flames scorched his fur, leaving blackened patches that he quickly healed. His wounds knitted together almost i
Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 129: The Puppet 3
Scarlett’s POVThey bore no humanity, no spark of life. Staring into those eyes was like gazing into an endless void, a darkness that seemed to claw at my very soul. He wasn’t just a man. He was a nightmare given flesh—a being that shouldn’t have existed in this world.Shivers ran down my spine as I realized the full extent of what we were up against. This wasn’t just a fight for survival—it was a fight against the unnatural, the unholy. And at this moment, I wasn’t sure if we had the strength to prevail.“Your fear smells delicious,” young Nikolay said, his voice calm, cool, and unnervingly steady. The darkness in his tone sent a shiver down my spine, but I refused to let him see the full extent of my terror.“How could Father have fathered something like you,” he continued, his gaze cold and calculating, “yet cherished and protected you while I rotted in the woods with the outcast seers? Isn’t that unfair?”His eyes drifted to my neck, and his lip curled in disdain. “Three mates. Wh
Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 129: The Puppet 2
Scarlett’s POVI turned my gaze to my half-brother, speaking directly to him. “He killed your father, Nikolay. The man who didn’t even know you existed. David stole that chance from you—the chance to know your father. If you can hate my mother for killing yours, then you should hate him for murdering your father and robbing you of the life you could have had. He will betray you, just as he betrayed him.”David laughed again, shaking his head. “Don’t waste your breath, Scarlett. Young Nikolay knows the truth. It was his idea to take out Nikolay Vladislav, not mine.” He looked at Nikolay with a twisted kind of pride. “He knew that if his father ever found out about him, he’d be eliminated. Nikolay doesn’t tolerate anything that looks like a threat. He knows it had to be done.”Young Nikolay’s dark, soulless eyes bore into mine with pure hatred. If there was any doubt or hesitation in him, he didn’t show it. His disdain for me was unwavering, and David’s words only seemed to fuel his res
Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 129: The Puppet 1
Scarlett’s POV“I am nobody’s puppet!” young Nikolay snapped, his voice laced with arrogance and disdain. “I am the true heir of Nikolay Vladislav, a Valkin alpha in my own right. And if I desire to take what is mine, so be it!”His declaration hung in the cold air, but I wasn’t impressed. “Rule over what?” I asked sharply. “Rule over whatever David tells you to rule? Be the king of his schemes?”For a moment, his fury was silenced, his expression hardening. He might have a temper, but he wasn’t a talker—his silence was telling.“So, what do you want?” Lucian asked, his tone steady but strained.David answered for him, stepping forward with a cruel smile. “What we’re here to take,” he said, his voice dripping with malice.“The North and that bitch.” His eyes flicked to me, and the venom in his gaze was palpable. “I promised Nikolay he’d have his revenge on the daughter of the woman who murdered his mother. Hand everything over, especially her. She’s useless anyway. Other than bed-warm
Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 128: They Came At Dawn
Scarlett’s POVAt dawn, they came.The attack wasn’t subtle; the screams and the clash of steel against steel echoed through Redcape, shaking the earth beneath us. I had felt it before I even opened my eyes—a dark, foreboding presence that made my skin crawl.As I sat up, my heart pounded in my chest, knowing the inevitable had arrived. Fear gripped me, cold and unrelenting. Were we ready? I didn’t know, and I wasn’t sure it mattered anymore.Lucian, Clay, and Maxwell were already moving, their movements quick and deliberate as they readied themselves for battle. Their focus was sharp, but the tension in the air was palpable.“For all we know, David has no idea Scarlett has a wolf or magic,” Lucian said, his tone firm as he strapped on his gear. “Let’s keep it that way. It’ll be our element of surprise.”He turned to me, his eyes glowing with both determination and worry. “Guns and bullets for now. We need to blindside them—just like you did with Garland. That’s the only way. And, Sca
Scarlett (Second Edition) Chapter 127: A Date 4
Scarlett’s POVWhen it was over, we lay tangled together, our breaths mingling in the frosty air. The sight around us was nothing short of magical.The bare trees were now lush and green, their branches swaying gently as if awakened from a long slumber.The snow that had blanketed the ground was gone, revealing a soft, rich earth beneath. Even the frozen lake shimmered with life, its edges alive with vibrant flora. It was as though our love had breathed life back into the desolate landscape.The orange hues of the setting sun painted the sky above us, casting a warm glow over the reborn clearing.My head rested on Clay’s chest, his heartbeat strong and steady beneath my ear. Each rhythm was fierce and determined, a reminder that, for now, we were alive—and we were together. This was our moment, untainted by the battles ahead.“I’ve been thinking,” Clay said suddenly, breaking the silence. His voice was calm but carried a weight of seriousness. “If it comes to the worst, we should leav
