Darkness! All I could see was darkness, what I could feel was pain, torture throbbing all over my body, what I could hear was nothing but random chuckles that would come and slowly fade away. At first, I didn't know what was happening but as I slowly regained consciousness I remembered and somehow understood what could be happening.Jones found me, I remember him trying to help, I remember telling him about my mother and then after that, I suddenly became unconscious. The floor I was lying on was beginning to get cold and from a distance, footsteps slowly began to approach towards me along with whimpering.I was shaken with fright realizing I had once again been kidnapped. Jones! That scumbag. What did he do to me?" Jones!"I knew someone was here with me because the footsteps that I heard earlier had stopped just close to me but still the whimpering continued. Suddenly, the dark place illuminated with a dim light, looking down I saw a pair of black well designed shoes, beside it w
" I don't know what to say to you Scarlett, I feel so ashamed of myself,"Ever since Jones had left, my mom had barely spoken to me, all she did was whisper how sorry she was.Currently, we were seated apart due to how she would hurdle away from me. " But why didn't you tell me all these while?"I managed to bring my voice to life, apparently, my whole body was soaked with my tears but still I couldn't control them from stopping. How many shocks had I received these past few days?I knew they were more coming, they were infinity, unstoppable. " If you're not my mother then who is?"She sniffed, tugging her already wet hair away from her face. " I don't know,"" If Max isn't my brother then who is he?"" Scarlett..." She whispered, crawling over to where I was. The pain in those eyes of hers were evident, one that wanted me to break down again, I mean how can I ever deny this woman as my mother, I couldn't even think of it, after the hell we all went through together." Max is your
Scarlett:I thought I had escaped not until I realized that my mother was nowhere to be seen. I was standing in the middle of the road, watching them haul my mother away while I stood there doing nothing. She cried and begged for help but it turned out I just couldn't sacrifice myself for her. And soon, they faded into the dust. " Mother!"I yelled, guilt filling my chest. I expected her whimpers and yells but what I got in response was rather different and the frightening image of him attacked me like it was an ambushed. He was here again but not as Mr Strange or the creepy man but as his normal self, the normal man I had fallen head over heels for. " Boss Martinez,"He stepped further to me, his beautiful hazel eyes pinned on my face, flattering my stomach with his deep intense gaze. As much as I wanted to look away and get away from him I found myself craving for his touch. " I know you may probably hate me now but..."" I don't hate you," I didn't know when or why I had said
My heart thumped against my chest, first my scarf had been removed and second Maya had just caught us kissing. " I never said I had any feelings for her, Maya. Could you at least learn to mind your own business?"Maya chuckled and began to slow slap while she motioned further to us." Bravo! Good one Luis. I'm so surprised at you Scarlett, that even after all those painful confessions you still had the guts to make out with a criminal like him,"Maya scoffed, shaking her head in amusement as she stared at me.I remained quiet, whatever she was saying didn't really matter to me now, all I needed to get was my scarf and geez I could feel my hair more heavier than it was before and stylishly I pull some amount of my hair to enable it cover my ear which I had slightly touched and realized it was still pointy as it was before. They hadn't paid attention to my hair yet and I hoped it remained that way till I left." Shut up Maya,"There was this intensity I could hear when Jones spoke. Ma
" No questions then? Good, take this,"No, I had a lot of questions but I couldn't bring myself to utter a word, I was blended in shock and everything suddenly seemed overwhelming.Cassandra handed me a chewing gum, the minty type." Eat that, it will clean your mouth,"My hand shook as I dropped it into my mouth and slowly began to chew on it. I was going on a task,I would be pleasuring some men I didn't know,I must obey them.Earn their trust until I get to their Chief?What am I? Some toy they could use to play with?" I told Luis I'll get you ready in less than an hour, there's nothing more to do with you. Get up,"At first I hesitated, really not wanting to do this. Considering my age, I was too young for all this trauma. It's more like my future was in a doom pit." I know you aren't deaf, Scarlett,"The way my name had rolled out of her tongue, it made me shudder and I didn't waste a minute before landing on my feet.Cassandra walked me through the surprisingly beyond spacio
For the past two days now and I had been stuck with the boys who had me tied up inside a bus and a blindfold around my eyes. I didn't know where we were going and I felt like they didn't want me to have a clue. I had received terrifying treatments from them but I could feel the fear in them whenever they showed up to my face while Ralph wouldn't stop calling me a demon. Finally, the car stopped. My arms were being jerked as they haul me away from the bus not minding how I had almost fallen off. We walked and soon I was thrown onto the floor and the blindfold suddenly loosen from my face. I looked up at the guys who held nothing but fright in their faces except from Ralph, his seemed to hold that of concentration and determination." Whatever demon you are, do not try anything stupid,"One of them spoke as Ralph moseyed away from them and went to lean on a further wall.I had no control of whatever it was that had taken over me and wasn't sure how to stop it if by chance it occured
I remained silent, hoping this was the end. Hoping he wouldn't do this again, I felt my blood dripping down to my hand as pain courses through me. My prayer wasn't answered because the man got on his ground again and immediately slid into me. I screamed at the pain. Slamming my hands on him to let me go, I begged him but he didn't listen. He kept going but at a slow pace this time. To think he was becoming tired of this, everything seemed to worsen when he brought his lips close to my neck, kissing every inch of it as his hand caresses my skin, from my waist to my hips and up to my back, his fingers coming close to my breast." Beautiful,"He looked at me, our face inches from each other. I shook my head in defense but he grabbed it and slammed his lips against mine, while I fought to stop this kiss from happening, I felt his finger slightly brushing my nipples, I arched my back, slight pleasure coursing over my body.And then....I felt it.I felt that familiar presence in this room
A few days back... Micage's POV:The thought of her with another man made my blood boil. I couldn't believe she had betrayed me like that. I felt like I could explode at any moment from now. Well typically, she did betray me without realizing it and I had to suffer the consequences of her actions. It was pure pain day and night for me, consequences for missing the mating intimacy before the disappearance of the silver moon in the Vampire realm. I wouldn't blame myself for it though, I had found out that Scarlett was my mate the moment I set eyes on her but somehow, I couldn't tell her that because I had thought she was human and that it would sound ridiculous if I should even utter such to her but later on I realized that she wasn't just a human but something supernatural. Her scent had changed from the regular human scent to something special and extraordinary and that was the moment I knew that she wasn't human. At first, I had thought she was a vampire like me but her scent mat

I watched them carry her body away. Shock still overwhelmed me...my mother was dead? Max was wounded too. Where was Cage when they needed him...he fucking promised that he would look after them...he promised me.My teary eyes roved over to him, he was on one kneel, his eyes exhibiting sadness and regrets. " You promised me,"Cage shook his head vigorously, trying to explain what happened; " Scarlett... please..."" You're a traitor. How could you break your promise, how could you let my mom die? You fucking bastard! I hate you so much,"I yelled, slapping him multiple times across his face. I saw Hermie came over to me, her anguish face and eyes glaring down at Cage." He doesn't deserve you, you've suffered too much just by staying with him. He doesn't deserve an angel like you, can't you see how he's hurting you? Can't you see that he's your rival? You need to fucking reject him as your mate before the worse happens,"Hermie's words dug into my heart. She was only making it worse fo
Scarlett's POV: " Sausages?" I took the wrapped sausages and kept it inside the brown leather bag." You guys sure need water also,"Jessy handed me two bottles of water and I didn't hesitate to keep them inside the bag. Today was the day Talon and I were going to Validon. He had told me that to get there was going to be a long journey, five days to be precise. So I thought packing a few things would help. I thanked Jessy before heading out. Thankful that I didn't have to bump into Miriam. Talon was already waiting outside along with Gray whose face depicted worries but it seemed to disappear the instant he saw me. " Here, let me help," Talon, as the gentleman he was, collected the bag and hung it over his shoulders." Scarlett, don't you think it's a good idea to cover up a little? The weather there is a quite harsh and also we'd be bumping into a lot of perverts,"Talon told me. I looked down at my dress, I wore a top that I tucked into my high waist skirt which stopped just at
Micage's POV: Damn her! She loved him? She loved Jones and not me? I scoffed, how pathetic. I know I tried a lot not to let the pain reflect but my efforts weren't working because I could feel the way my heart squeezed brokenly, I was so heartbroken. How can she choose him over me? How the fuck did he even get here? I owned the place yet no fucking person except Miriam had told me about Jones. Shit and that was when I lost it. The way Miriam had described to me what she saw them doing, I nearly thought they were going to have sex. But now I do know that I no longer matter. Scarlett had undergone a lot of changes that I cannot deny and so did I. This love of a thing was really making me too weak...very weak and I fucking didn't like it.Why does it seem like she was the stronger one and I'm the weaker one that craves for her love all the time. Is it because I'm suffering from the lack of our intimacy?Of course, that was how things worked. The female mate never got to feel the pain f
Scarlett's POV:" I didn't know because I found it quite difficult these past days to connect with her. I've also noticed some changes in me whenever I try to mind travel. It's as if I am slowly beginning to lose my powers. I thought they were normal changes...but now I don't think it is anymore and sure I could have felt her pain when she lost the baby,"Talon uttered, face palming his face in terror. He shook slightly." What do you plan to do now, Talon?"Talon said nothing for a moment but after a brief silence, he endured and silently whispered; " I'd just let it be. I'm not the only one this would happen to. It'd expected it to be difficult because she wasn't really carrying a human child, infact, the late baby could overpower her if he becomes too strong for her. Vampire babies are like rocks so...I don't know,"" Isn't there a solution or something? Perhaps you can get back to her and tell her the entire truth,"" Scarlett, I can't. Think of how her reaction would be, I may ev
Writer's POV:Diego pressed his lips into a thin line, giving Maya the most challenging look he could muster. " The two guys outside ended up dead, you kidnapped the other poor guy's sister...what a legend you are Diego,"Diego let out a throaty chuckle. " You can say that again. I am indeed a legend. So what now? You'd come with me to Dondania, will you?"For a moment, Maya wondered. How would she feel going to Dondania with Diego when she had a lot of ' finding Scarlett and murdering her soon enough' plan to work on?" I'm good,"Diego didn't protest. He could handle the remaining taka himself now. The very moment they had left the warehouse, Diego had left a note, telling his secret investigators to head to Dondania and begin their search. The secret investigators were the source he used for his findings and dirty works. Those investigators were the ones who had kidnapped Jessica on the command of Diego. Diego had his own power and authority, he had his little clan which was inf
Writer's POV: Diego returned back to them, Maya and Cassandra. His face turned into one of horror as the two awaited the bad news they expected." I can't find him," Diego spoke." Damn it! Where the fuck did he go?" Maya yelled, throwing a furious punch on the table in which a jar stood, in the cause of punching, the jar fell to the floor and shattered into pieces." Jones is weak, I'm sure he wouldn't have gone too far if he tried to escape,"Cassandra interfered, wearing the same angry look on her face.Just when they thought they would finalize their plan with the help of Jones, he had decided to disappear...they suspected that he had escaped and if truly he had done so then why did he do so? There was no right answer to that." Diego, you go after him. Search the whole damn city and see if you'll find him. I'll head back to Baridona now..."" Baridona! You can't, you'd die outside,"" Then what the fuck do you expect me to do?" Maya yelled, shooting her glare at Diego. " Didn't
Scarlett's POV: " You've killed him," Cage pulled out the knife. His gaze met mine and he gritted his teeth so hard that I heard it; " He was flirting with you,"He answered me with no shame...no regret. How worse could he even get?" You cheated on me Cage and it's not once, not twice but several times, what is wrong with you? Why do you always like to crush my heart like it's nothing..."I had no more words to say to him. I cleaned my teary eyes and went back to Jones, his chest bled profusely, he wasn't groaning anymore, he wasn't even breathing and at the back of my mind, I was thinking he was dead. I hadn't noticed that Miriam had left the room before because now she returned in with the least person I expected to see, Gray." Oh shit!" He dashed towards us, not sparing either Cage and I a glance. " I need something cold, Miriam, could you get me one?"Miriam left and returned immediately with an ice bag. Gray took it from her before pressing it against Jones' bleeding chest.
Scarlett's POV:" What is happening to her? Is she going to be alright?"Max's voice grew high pitched, his worrisome yet surprising eyes met with mine. Mark, Talon and Miriam were the ones attending to my mother. I suspected Miriam to be a vampire also because she and Mark were the ones doing most of the work. Talon came to me and pulled me into an embrace, calmly patting my hair.My Mom had gone unconscious because of me. She was always getting hurt because of me. If I had known this was going to happen then I wouldn't have said a thing. Now look what I've caused.I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something bad should happen to her. I cannot bear to see her hurt because of me... again." It's nothing serious. She's simply stressed, I bet she hasn't been getting enough of sleep but you don't need to worry, she'll be okay before you know it,"Miriam spoke. Mark nodded in agreement." Perhaps it's best if she sleeps for the meantime without anyone disturbing her. It'd help to imp
