Chapter 47: In The Kitchen Part 2

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-09 19:42:25

Scarlett’s POV

The rest of the afternoon flew by as I helped in the kitchen, chopping, stirring, and plating. For a while, I almost forgot the weight of everything else; there was something peaceful in the rhythm of cooking, in sharing this space with Bianca. We weren’t exactly friends, but the gap between us felt a little smaller, and that was enough.

After we’d finished and I’d thanked her for her help, I headed to my room, feeling a pleasant exhaustion. I took a long, hot shower, washing away the day’s tension. Crawling into bed, I let my head sink into the pillow, but just as sleep began to pull me under, I heard that strange voice again, whispering my name in the quiet darkness of my mind. My eyes snapped open, heart pounding.

“Careful,” the voice whispered, soft yet urgent.

I sat up, scanning the room, my pulse racing. I was alone. I’d tried convincing myself it was my wolf, the first stirrings of a bond, but the timing was wrong. Usually, wolves only spoke after a full-moon shi

    Scarlett’s POVThe pain seemed to go on forever, each wave crashing into me like jagged glass, relentless and consuming. The voice was faint but insistent, like someone whispering from far away, and every time it spoke, the pain in my head sharpened, as if a dull saw was trying to slice through my skull. It was unbearable, impossible to ignore.I curled up on the floor, clutching my head tightly, every muscle trembling as I fought against the agony. I could feel hot tears streaming down my face as I whimpered, desperate for relief, praying that somehow, some way, the pain would stop. Eventually, exhaustion took over, and I slipped into darkness.When I opened my eyes, I felt softness beneath me and realised I was lying in a bed—Lucian’s bed. I blinked slowly, taking in the familiar room around me, and attempted to sit up, but a fierce pounding in my head held me back. It felt like my skull was being hammered from the inside, each throb a reminder of the agony I’d just endured.“Are yo

    Scarlett’s POVLucian’s smile held a warmth that melted my heart. His love was palpable, wrapping around me like a protective embrace. Just then, Clay entered, his hair still damp, dressed only in shorts. The look in his eyes told me he already knew; Lucian must have linked him to share my decision. Without hesitation, Clay rushed over, his gaze tender and filled with joy. He pressed a kiss to my forehead, his expression filled with a devotion so deep it brought tears to my eyes.“You won’t regret trusting and accepting us, Scarlett,” he whispered, his voice rough with emotion. “We’ll love you until the end. We’ll never betray you, and we’ll protect you with everything we have.” He paused, his gaze intense, filled with hope and a touch of vulnerability. “Promise me, Scarlett. Promise you’ll be true to us, that you’ll never break our hearts or make us doubt this. Promise your love is real.”His plea held so much longing, and I could see just how deeply he wanted to believe, to trust th

    Scarlett’s POVI was overwhelmed, lost in waves of pleasure so intense that tears of bliss spilled down my cheeks. “Please,” I whimpered, barely able to form the word, every part of me trembling with raw need.“Mine,” Vinn growled, his voice thick with possessive desire, and in that heartbeat, I felt his sharp canines sink into the tender spot on my neck. The instant his teeth pierced my skin, an explosion of ecstasy ripped through me, stronger than anything I had ever felt. My body convulsed, and a cry escaped my lips, filled with the power of the release surging through me.“Ahhhh,” I cried out, clinging to him as he held me tightly, his grip grounding me while his own body trembled against mine.Vinn didn’t pull back; he kept his teeth in place, his bite marking me as his as he pumped into me with a desperate rhythm, each thrust igniting another wave of pleasure.“Mine,” he growled again, his voice guttural and fierce, each word anchoring me deeper into this moment. I felt the conn

    Scarlett’s POVI felt our connection solidify, forming a bond so deep and unbreakable that I could feel his every emotion, his every heartbeat resonating within me. His body trembled as he pulled his teeth from my skin, licking the wound to seal it, and I was still lost in bliss, my body shuddering from the aftershocks. Guided by instinct, I leaned in, sinking my human teeth into the spot on his neck, claiming him as mine. It took all my strength, but I pushed through, and the moment I broke his skin, a fresh surge of pleasure coursed through us both. Maxwell’s body stilled as he groaned, filling me, his hands gripping me tightly as his release consumed him.My core clenched around him, pulling him deeper, taking everything he had to give. When the intensity finally subsided, he laid me down gently, slipping out of me as I panted, my body trembling, my heart racing.I barely had time to catch my breath before Lucian’s presence filled the room. “Come on, Scarlett; you need to rest befo

My body felt warm and tingly as I undressed, memories from the night flooding back to me with every movement.Standing in front of the mirror, I paused, my breath catching as I saw myself—red marks scattered over my skin, vivid reminders of last night. Each one was like a little secret, a story written in kisses and firm hands. The passion we’d shared left its mark, quite literally, and I couldn’t help but laugh softly, my heart racing with the thrill of it all.This was real. They were mine, and I was theirs. I was officially their Luna. My chest swelled with pride and happiness, emotions rushing over me like a wave. Still feeling a bit dazed, I turned on the shower and let the warm water cascade over me. Closing my eyes, I breathed deeply, trying to wash away the night while savouring every memory. But then, as I stood there, the faint scent of cinnamon filled the steamy air. I smi

    Scarlett’s POVMy heart skipped a beat as I quickly took out a handkerchief, wiping it away before any of my mates noticed. Luckily, the pain faded as quickly as it had come, and there was no lingering migraine, but the ominous feeling only grew stronger.“Gregory,” Lucian’s voice cut through the tension, pulling Gregory’s gaze away from me. He blinked, looking momentarily disoriented, then quickly refocused on Lucian.“Good day, Alpha Lucian,” he said, bowing in a show of respect. “It is an honour to be in Redcape.” Lucian returned his nod, his expression calm but watchful.Gregory moved down the line, exchanging polite greetings with Maxwell and Clay. Yet, even as he did, his eyes would flicker back to me, his gaze almost invasive, lingering too long and too intently.I could feel Tiger, Lucian’s wolf spirit, growling in my mind, and I knew Lucian felt it too. He didn’t take kindly to anyone ogling me, especially not in his presence.“And who is this beautiful lady seated beside you

    Scarlett’s POVGregory approached me with a smooth, almost predatory air, his blue eyes focused intently on me. “How do you like it here, Luna?” he asked. He was a striking man—red hair, muscular build, and around Lucian’s age—but there was something unsettling in his gaze. He was undeniably handsome, but I felt no attraction toward him. If anything, his attention made me uneasy, as if there were more behind his words than he let on.“It’s amazing,” I replied, keeping my tone light, polite. He gave a small nod, his eyes searching mine as if he were trying to unravel something hidden within me.“Where are you from?” he continued, tilting his head slightly, his eyes narrowing with curiosity. “You look more like a Southerner.”I gave him a small smile, nodding. “Well, you guessed right. I am a Southerner who traveled north to find my mates.” The moment I said it, I heard a low, protective growl from Clay, a reminder that my mates were always watchful, always aware.Gregory leaned in, his

    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.

    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

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.

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.

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.

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
