Chapter 130: After The Fight 2

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-22 19:24:04

Clay’s POV

Keith 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 1: Abduction

    Scarlett’s POVBeta David dragged me across the rough, cold floor by my hair, each pull igniting a fire of pain across my scalp. The agony was unbearable, each tug making it feel like my skin might tear away.My eyes filled with tears, and no matter how hard I tried to blink them back, they spilled over, hot and unstoppable, streaming down my cheeks.Every inch of my bare skin felt raw, scraping against the gritty, jagged stones below, each scrape opening fresh cuts that stung and burned.I couldn’t even grieve my father’s death. I wasn’t given a moment to mourn, to reflect, or to breathe before they decided I was next to be discarded.My father—Alpha Nikolay Vladislav—had been taken down by silver poisoning after a brutal battle. He was the Alpha of the South, feared by many but loved by none.He was ruthless, a man with an iron heart and fists to match. His power was overwhelming, and he ruled with cruelty that was legendary.He took anything he wanted without hesitation or mercy, l

    Scarlett’s POV“What did I do to you?” I screamed, my voice hoarse, desperate for some answer, some flicker of humanity from my father’s Beta. But David’s face was stone-cold, void of any trace of empathy. He didn’t even glance at me.With mechanical indifference, he took a briefcase from the bearded man and turned his back, as if I were already a distant memory. I clenched my teeth, vowing silently that if I survived this, I would come back for him. One day, I would make him feel every ounce of betrayal he had given me.I felt the unyielding bite of silver on my wrists and ankles, binding me, draining any chance I might have had of escaping. The men shoved me into the back of the truck, where two other strangers held me down with callous strength. I knew I didn’t stand a chance against them. I was helpless, forced to endure whatever came next.The journey dragged on, and the air grew colder with each mile. I had no clothes to shield me from the chill, no wolf to heat my blood. Eventu

  • Scarlett (Second Edition)   Chapter 3: In The North

    Scarlett’s POV“Get up, bitch!” the bearded man snarled, and I forced myself to rise, refusing to show him my pain or fear. I locked my gaze with his, holding it with a silent defiance until he looked away, a flicker of irritation crossing his face.He yanked on the chain again, pulling me like I was no more than an animal. My body ached with each step, my feet stinging with numbness as they pressed against the icy ground. Weak and exhausted, I could barely keep up, but I forced myself to follow him.As we entered a large house, the sudden warmth hit me, bringing a temporary relief to my frozen skin. The interior was plain, almost crude, with sparse wooden furniture and dull tungsten lights casting an eerie glow over everything. There was no sense of comfort or taste here—just a harsh, lifeless atmosphere that matched the man who dragged me in.He tugged on the chains again, and as I stumbled forward, I glanced down, realizing that the chain itself was iron. Only the part wrapped arou

    Scarlett’s POVThe woman led me into a small, cramped room, finally freeing me from the silver shackles. The relief was immediate, though I still felt the burn of where the metal had pressed against my skin. She explained that I would stay here until the Alphas decided to see me again. Her words left an unsettling feeling in my gut.These were Valkin Alphas, after all. With no leader in the South, they could easily take the land in my absence—or worse, the other Valkin Alphas from the East or West might seize the opportunity.“While you wait for them to attend to you, you might want to find work around here to feed yourself. They haven’t thought of provisions for your upkeep yet,” she said, her voice practical, but to me, it was chilling.I was stranded, with nothing but uncertainty surrounding me. These men behaved as if they held some grudge against me, and their questions had been so strange, almost as though they were piecing together a story I couldn’t see. I didn’t understand. I

    Scarlett’s POVI opened the door wider, allowing the old woman to step inside. Her gaze was kind yet filled with something I couldn’t quite place—maybe sympathy or pity.“How are you, Scarlett?” she asked softly. Her question felt strange, almost absurd. How could she even ask? My entire life had been uprooted, torn apart by betrayals and losses I couldn’t begin to process. So I said nothing, keeping my silence, though the pain was surely visible on my face.She handed me a small box. “Here are some clothes,” she said. “They belonged to my daughter. She’s gone now, so you can have them.” Her voice was calm but tinged with sorrow. I tried to refuse, feeling unworthy of such a personal gift, but she wouldn’t allow it.“Please,” she insisted, her eyes softening. “Personally, I think it’s cruel to make a young girl like you pay for her father’s sins. Please, let me help you.” Her words held a quiet strength, and I realised she knew something of my situation. I nodded, grateful but still s

    Scarlett’s POVThe dark-haired Valkin Alpha strode into the room, his eyes narrowed in a glare that was almost venomous. I kept my gaze lowered, knowing that meeting his stare would only provoke him further. His scorn was palpable, filling the room with an oppressive weight.“I see you’ve made yourself comfortable already,” he sneered. I stayed silent, my heart beating heavily in my chest.“Who gave you clothes?” he pressed, and I felt a pang of dread. I couldn’t bring myself to betray the old woman who had shown me kindness, so I lied, summoning as much defiance as I could muster.“I stole them,” I replied. His expression shifted, and soon the other two entered, laughter bubbling up as if I were some private joke.“You are indeed your father’s child,” the dirty blonde remarked, his voice laced with contempt. Heat flushed through me at the insult, anger boiling over.“My father may be many things, but he is no thief,” I shot back. I’d held my tongue long enough; I wasn’t about to let

    Lucian’s POVWhen the seer revealed that Clay, Maxwell, and I shared the same fated mate, we were thrilled. It meant more than just reaching the peak of our power as Valkin Alphas; it meant the three of us would be bound together, strengthened by a shared destiny. We’d always known that finding a fated mate was rare, something not easily granted, and as Valkin Alphas, this bond was essential.Normal werewolves might stumble upon their mates by chance, but for us, it was a matter of purpose and survival, of reaching our full potential. That was why we sought out the seer, to confirm that somewhere out there, our fated mate lived and breathed, waiting for us.But the joy vanished the moment the seer uttered her name.We were bound to Nikolay Vladislav’s daughter. I remember the anger simmering in my blood, the disbelief twisting in my gut. Why would fate curse us with such a bond? Nikolay Vladislav was the worst of our kind, a terror among werewolves, feared and despised.He was no ordi

    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’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’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’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’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’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’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
