Scarlett 38 Unworthy
Maxwell, Sleep was our enemy all through the night. We kept raking our minds about where Scarlett might be. I stayed up in my room and wept. The seer could not help us this time, and I could not blame her. How could we have allowed our mate to be treated the way she was? We were so focused on not having issues with the Alpha of the West that we neglected Scarlett's needs. I couldn't blame her for running away from us. I doubt she would ever look back. She left with the notion that we wanted her dead. There was no coming back from that. I doubt she would ever come back to us. I spent two days in my room, waiting to feel pain from the bond, but nothing happened. I tried to feel for the cord that connected us, and it was still there. The cord was my only hope that she was alive and well out there. I finally decided to exit my room, and found Lucian drunk on the floor in the living room. "We fucked up," he said in tears. He had never drunk this much before; I guess pain could do that to
Scarlett 39 Revealing
Scarlett. I laid on my bed in my room. It was afternoon, and I wondered what there was to do. I would have loved to check out the library, but I did not want to have altercations with anyone. The women in the harem were stubborn about leaving, but I could not blame them. Their lives changed drastically because of another woman. I did not know why Keith would make such a bold move. I had no love to give him, and he did not seem like the patient type. I did not know what would happen, but I needed to make it work. I had nowhere to go from here. I could not go back to the north or the south, and I could not blend in the east. If things didn't work out for me here, I was good as dead, and dying wasn't an option. I was wearing a T-shirt and lace panties while lying on the bed. The shirt was new, but it brought back painful memories, because I always wore my mates' shirts to surround myself with their scents. That was in the past now. Locked away and never to be opened again. Someone kno
Scarlett 40 The Severance
Lucian. I was lying on the bed when I felt the sudden silence. It was like a blockage. A partial disconnection. I did not know what it was, but it was painful. "Lucian," I heard Maxwell's voice in my head. " Did you feel that?" He asked me, and I responded. "What is going on?" I heard Clay, and I managed to get off the bed and move to the living area, still feeling the pain. Something was really off. If we could all feel it, then it had to do with Scarlett. Maxwell and Clay decided to come out of their rooms and join me in the living room. "What is going on," Clay said, wincing in pain. "A partial severance," Tiger, my wolf, said, and I was stunned. "Tiger said it is a partial severance," I said, and they already knew from the look on their faces. Of course, they would know; their wolves would tell them. "What should we do?" Maxwell asked with fear in his voice. "I don't know. She ran away and now is trying to disconnect herself from us and move on. Isn't it clear already? I
Scarlett 41 In The West
Scarlett What Alpha Keith did for me was incredible. We spent time getting to know each other and spending time together. He never touched me or did anything inappropriate, but he made his intentions known and told me I could take all the time I needed and that he wasn't rushing. He let all the women in his harem go. Some put up a fight with me, but when I dealt with a few of them, they stopped. Keith often took me on picnics, horse riding and joy rides. I had fun. He was more fun to be around than my mates. I felt a strange pull to him, and I did not know why, but I was glad I found him. Things had been more comfortable since he blocked the connection with my mates. The void was there, but it was bearable. I wouldn't deny that a part of me longed for them, and I sometimes cried when I remembered all that transpired between us, but I knew this was for the best. They left me to die, and they chose the pack over me. I will never forget that. They would have damned the elders an
Scarlett 42 Choosing Keith
Scarlett. I froze in Keith's arms and stared at the bastard that ruined my life. He did not see me, but I was looking right at him where he was talking with guests and laughing. "What is the matter, darling," Keith whispered in my ear, and I felt my eyes well up with angry tears that I fought back with all my might. Gregory ruined my life. He put me in a situation where I had to flee my home and my mates. I was mad at them for not having my back, but everything was rosy until this bastard came along. I continued the dance in Keith's arms and rested my head against his chest. I always felt calm and protected that way. He held me tighter as we moved slowly to the music the quartet played. "What is the matter, Scarlett?" Keith asked me, and I held on tight. "Remember the bastard that set me up in the north? The merchant from the West that ruined my life and smeared my name?" I asked, and we continued to move. "Yes," he said. "Well, he is over there with his friends, in a blue su
Scarlett 43 Regret
Lucian It had been hard living without Scarlett. My days were void of joy, and I often drank myself into a stupor. Clay was yet to give up. He passed her photo around and listed rewards for anyone that saw her. Maxwell was an empty shell. He would often go and take his anger out on Bianca and her child, but soon he stopped, realising that wouldn't bring Scarlett back. He was now never at home. I knew he usually shifted and sat by the roadside where her scent ended the night she ran away. He would sit there looking for a clue searching for a miracle, anything that would lead us to our mate: anything that would make the pain go away, but nothing happened. We were empty shells. We neglected our duties, but how could we function when our souls had been ripped from us? The seer said we shouldn't give up hope, and she might come back to us one day, but even hope had given up on us. I sat in my room and wept. I thought of everything I did and wept. I had never prayed, but feeling
Scarlett 44 BitterSweet
Lucian "I am sorry, Maxwell. I swear I will do everything within my power to fix it," I said to him, and he looked at me with teary eyes. "You can't bring her back, Lucian. You can't fucking fix it." He said, and my heart reached out to him. "She has no money, nothing. We took it all. We stole it all. Nikolay was right to shield his daughter from us. He was right," he said and buried his head in his palms and began to weep. "Please let us work together on this, Maxwell. I felt the pull, and you did too. She is somewhere out there, and I know we will find her," I said with hope. "I have been praying, and I know the goddess will answer," I said, and he chuckled. "Praying?" he said, looking at me with rage. "When has a prayer ever solved anything, Lucian? Just leave me the fuck alone," he said, and I knew it would be best to respect his wishes and keep my mouth shut. I hoped Elsa had something to say to revive our hope, or the tunnel would have no light. Elsa finally walked in wi
Scarlett 45 Hopelesness
Clay Learning where Scarlett was, and Keith's intentions towards her broke my heart completely. I had been driving to different towns to search for her. I had sent people to the South to look for her, all to no avail. I was glad to have found the traveller in a tavern at the Highlands. He was the one that told me of Keith's new obsession. He called her the last of the Vladislavs. I also knew that he spoke highly of her and Nikolay. At this point, I did not care about my misgivings because what Elsa told us about Nikolay made me realise we had messed up and hurt ourselves. I visited the highlands to see the renovation of the packhouse there. A separation from Lucian and Maxwell would be best. Had they allowed me to do the things I wanted and had they listened to me, we wouldn't have been in this predicament. Lucian was too hateful to think straight, and he was always there to choose the most painful option. Maxwell would always side with Lucian against me, leaving me with no choi

Scarlett 52 Frozen
Scarlett. My luggage was packed, and Keith escorted me outside. I saw Lucien's jeep at the entrance and noticed a black van at the back. The Van had a western number plate meaning it belonged to Keith. I looked at Keith, a bit confused, still holding on to his hand, unwilling to let go. Afraid of what awaits me in a Redcape. There was Jealousy in my mates' eyes, but they dared not speak. "Your clothes are in the Van, and I packed an extra gift for you. I have instructed your mates not to show you until you get home," He said, kissing the top of my head. "Remember to practice meditation and magic. If you have any issues with focus and wielding, I am only a phone call away," He said, and I nodded. He gently let go of my hand and walked back in. Tears streamed down my cheeks, realising I might never see him again. I did not trust my mates, but I had no choice. "Where would you like to sit," Lucian asked me with a meek voice, and I scowled at him. "As far away from you as possible,
Scarlett 51 A difficult Goodbye
Scarlett Clay looked at me with hope in his eyes. He expected me to say something, but I had nothing to say. I had broken someone's heart for their sake. I knew magic was part of the reason Keith and I clicked, and now that he had pulled his magic away completely. I felt nothing for him. My pain for my mate's betrayal returned. Keith's magic had dulled the pain to the point that it was non-existent, but now it was back. It caused an instant emptiness in me. I guess that was what Keith was suppressing with his love and magic. I felt the mate pull, and Midnight was tugging hard. I was able to control her eventually, but it wasn't easy. My body wanted them; it craved them. It was as if I needed to feed. I would lie if I said I felt nothing towards them, but what they did to me in the north made me bury every ounce of love I felt towards them. With Keith out of the picture, the love I buried was rearing up its head, and it was out of my control. I was angry and afraid. I was worried
Scarlett 50 Begging
Scarlett It could not be; the three of them were in the mansion? I stared at Martha. "They forced you here?" I asked her, and she shook her head. "They begged me to plead with you for forgiveness and ask you to come home. I was the one that decided to see you privately while they discussed matters with Keith," she said, and I realised why Keith did not want me to leave the room. He did not trust that I could keep my senses with them around. "I am not returning to hell, Martha. I am sorry. I won't return to where I was treated like shit. A place where no one cared or respected me. Where my father was hated, and people plotted against me. Where my mates were the source of my pain, I cannot go back there, Martha." I said and stood up. I planned to face the three of them to let them know they had come to waste their time and they should leave. I no longer want to be their object of torment. "Please, Scarlett. The East is at war with us. They aren't focused at all. They are spending
Scarlett 49 Martha
Scarlett I sat still, battling the pull to my mate. Why was it so strong? Lucian's bond was tugging the hardest, and the weird part was that I was the one pulling. "What is this, Midnight?" I asked my wolf. "Mate," She said in response, a bit off. I sat still for almost forty minutes, and when the pull became too much to bear, I decided to leave the room. There was no way Keith would be mad about this. I had the right to move about the place. "Are we going to our mates?" Midnight asked me, and I sighed. "We are going to the kitchen for a snack and drink. Maybe that would ease the feeling of discomfort. Our mates are far away, and you know it won't be wise to show up there. Their people might lynch us for escaping their terrible punishment for us," I told my wolf, and she rescinded. I was angry, and I hoped there was a switch I could flip to stop me from feeling anything towards the three idiots, but there wasn't any. My emotions and pain were mine to bear alone. No matter how
Scarlett 48 A Little Fun with Foe
Scarlett My heat returned with a vengeance, and Keith placed me on my hands and knees and started ramming into me fast. He was doing all he could to satisfy me. I hoped our bond would form eventually because I did not want to lose something this beautiful. He was perfect for me. All my mates gave me was pain. They made me loathe myself and my heritage. Lucian made me feel ugly, and they quickly believed outsiders over me. Not once did they try to make it work at their expense. Everything they did was at my expense. There was no way I would keep my bond with them. I wanted Keith. He was good to me. He was good for me. He accepted my flaws and all and has loved me genuinely since we met. I could not leave him. We spent the whole day fucking. I wouldn't say making love, even though that was how Keith saw it, but my heat made it primal. My wolf and I enjoyed every bit of it, and Keith was up to the task. Neither of us was exhausted. We showered, played, and then fucked when the heat r
Scarlett 47 Trying To Bond
Scarlett I lay in Keith's arms in bed while he caressed my back. I had never experienced heat before but was glad I didn't experience it alone. My wolf had come, and I was still yet to process what had happened to me. Her name is Midnight, and she had tried to claim Keith as her mate. I fought her. As much as I felt a strong pull to Keith, I still felt like I was doing something wrong. I knew it was just a residual feeling I had for my mates, and I hoped it would go away soon because Keith was a great guy, and I was glad to be with him. "Should they bring us something to eat?" He asked me gently and kissed the top of my head. I moved away from his chest and sat up. "Let's eat in the dining room," I said, and he chuckled and sat up, then pulled me close to his body. "You smell delicious, Scarlett. Even I can't control myself right now," He said and nibbled my neck. His touch sent shocks of pleasure throughout my body, building up an ache in my pussy. "Don't you know every male
Scarlett 46 From Garland
Clay We left the apartment and went outside. The stench of the box's content was real, and I knew it was something rotten or dead. Maybe an animal. I wondered why Garland would send us a parcel with a letter. I also wondered why we did not get news of the attacks until the morning. Had they wiped out the settlements, or had the people there worked against us? Normally they should have reached us during the attack so we could send backup. The silence meant it was planned meticulously, and the people had actively chosen the Eastern Alpha over us. We were indeed a joke. Thinking of it, we were the only Valkin Alphas in history that bent to our people's will. Thanks to our parents, our authority was limited when they had the bright idea of sharing out responsibility with a biased narrow-minded council. The fact that war took our families from us, the three of us avoided it at all costs and always opted for a peaceful resolution even when it would cost us. It was this attitude that m
