3. FOREST GREEN EYES

Author: B. Mimija
last update Last Updated: 2025-01-14 22:16:43

~VIKTOR

I've always been fighting my inner demons. 

They're always screaming in my head. There's constant chaos within me, no form of peace or silence— no matter how calm I might seem on the outside. 

Until she ran into my arms and her forest green eyes seemed to bring me the very peace that I have long craved for. 

For the first time in years, she brought silence and my world came to a standstill. I could swear that even my heart stopped and I knew from that moment on that I had to protect her. 

I had to keep her safe and most especially, I had to make her mine. . .

‘Wake up, Viktor. . .’ The familiar voice of my wolf called and I jolted awake into a sitting position, only to find myself in an unfamiliar room.

"Where am I?" I demanded out loud as I looked around. 

‘An hospital, perhaps,’ my wolf answered. 

I blinked multiple times. This was not right. The last thing I remembered was her eyes. I was in her arms. 

Where was she?

 "Scarlett?" I called as I remembered her name. My subconscious had specifically stored it in a special corner of my mind.

I gritted my teeth when I realized she was nowhere close and began to rip out all the tiny tubes that were connected to me. I needed to get out of here and find her. 

That was when a nurse knew to walk into the room and she gasped at my actions. 

"What are you doing, sir? You shouldn't be standing. You had a serious injury, you might risk opening it up or having a concussion!" She cried. 

But I paid no heed to her. She had no idea that I was a werewolf— not just any werewolf but an Alpha. The wound would have completely healed by now.

"Where are my clothes?" I demanded instead. 

"Sir, didn't you hear what I said? You can't leav—" 

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'll handle things from here," A new voice called and I looked to see my beta— Luca standing in the doorway. 

"Who are you?" She asked. 

"He's under my care. I already spoke to the doctor and he has approved his discharge form," Luca answered and flashed it before her face. 

I smirked in satisfaction when I found my clothes— having no care about Luca's presence. With or without the discharge form, I was leaving this room and no one could stop me. 

I began to put on my clothes without caring that the nurse was still in. She bit her lips and hurried out of the room with a flushed face. 

When we were alone, Luca folded his arms at me. "I thought we agreed that you won't go anywhere alone, Boss." 

I tilted my head back at him. "Good thing I did, or I wouldn't have run into the woman I've been looking for." 

Luca corked his brows at me and he looked even more mysterious in his black suit and glasses. 

I arched my brows slightly at him. I was not entitled to explain exactly what I meant to him. But Luca on the other hand was obliged to do as I said. 

I wasn't only his Alpha but his Mafia Boss. 

"Scarlett Vaughn. Find out everything you can about her and report to me immediately. I'll be in my house." 

With that, I brushed past him and walked out of the room. I met a line of men dressed in suits waiting on both sides of the corridor for me. 

"Boss!" They all echoed as they bowed to me and every nurse or patient who had wanted to pass through, was immediately stopped by my men. 

I did not spare any of them a glance. I walked right through the path they had created for me. The line continued until I stepped out of the hospital and stopped in front of a black car. 

This drew lots of attention and my cold smirk only grew wider. This would stop any of them from overstepping. 

I looked up at the sky and noticed that the crescent moon was already nestled perfectly in the sky. I slept for too long and that was why I lost her. 

One of my men pulled the car door open for me and this broke me out of my thoughts. I sighed and got into the car. The rest of the men got into the rest of the procession of cars that had come for me. 

"Where to, Sir?" The driver asked. 

"The Estate." 

The car came to live and zoomed out of the parking space along with my escort. I leaned lazily against my right palm as I watched the city come alive with multiple night lights. 

Yet all this seemed boring to me as the cars raced down the road and the only thing that kept me sane was the thought of her forest green eyes. 

I desperately needed her by my side. I felt as if I would lose what was left of my sanity if I didn't make her mine as soon as possible. 

Eventually, the cars arrived at my large home estate. When he parked safely, another one of my men pulled the door open for me and I stepped out. 

But I cursed under my breath the moment I set my eyes on the familiar short man waiting on my doorstep. 

"Elder Gaius," I muttered as I made my way to him. 

He was dressed in his usual dark robes with extremely long sleeves. His hair was combed back and he had markings on his face. 

He bowed to me. "It's always a pleasure to be in your presence, my Alpha." 

"Why are you here?" I asked as I led the way into the house. 

It opened up to high ceilings and a luxurious sitting area. The fireplace was up and warm and I offered him a seat on my couch. 

"I just came to drop a message and I will be gone as soon as I do that," he answered and remained standing. 

I sighed. "Suit yourself." 

I sank into my armchair and looked up at him. 

"Your Alpha title is at stake, Usurper!" He announced. 

I furrowed my brows at him. "Why? I might have killed my father and taken his title but I still have Alpha blood running through my veins. It is my birthright." 

"The moment you killed your father, it ceased to be your birthright." 

I gritted my teeth as short memories of my father entered my mind before I pushed it away as fast as they came. 

"What must I do to keep my title?" 

Elder Gaius smiled. "You need to produce an heir before the next Red Moon or your title will be revoked." 

I gritted my teeth even harder at my choices. If there was one thing I hated, then it would be to be forced into something. 

"Thank you, Gaius. You may leave." 

He bowed and began to leave when he stopped. "Be careful, my boy. Not everyone is happy having you in power. Watch your back, you have created too many enemies." 

I only blinked in response and he walked out of my home, allowing the gravity of his words weigh down on me. 

Gaius was the only one who supported me when my father died. He was the only one who understood how I really felt and he had been by my side ever since then. 

I barely had any alone time when the door came open and Luca walked in. I smiled in satisfaction as I felt my mood lighten. 

He had already found Scarlett. 

"Tell me everything about her," I stated.

He bowed. "I will but first, you need to know that her little sister, Maya, is betrothed to Marco Bianchi and the wedding is taking place tomorrow." 

"I don't care about Maya. Tell me about Scarlett."

Luca shook his head at me. "Well, you should. After flirting with Maya tonight at a club I tailed her to, I found out they're making her big sister— Scarlett take her place. Tomorrow, Scarlett Vaughn will be the one marrying Marco." 

I shot to my feet immediately and glared at him with wide eyes. Then I relaxed and clenched my teeth together. 

"Then you know what we must do," I stated.

"My Alpha, we signed a truce with the Bianchi family that we will stay out of their business and them likewise. If we interfere at that wedding tomorrow. . . The dangerous war between you and the Bianchi will begin again and every life lost in the past will be in vain." 

I shot a dangerous glare at Luca. "You seem to forget, Luca, that I own this city. I am the one and only Boss and I do as I please." 

I stopped and watched as Luca smiled. "I guess we have a wedding to crash tomorrow.”

    ~SCARLETTI thought of Viktor the moment my eyes flew open the next morning. Did he make it safely to the hospital? Did they treat him well enough? Was he going to be fine?I felt guilty about the way that I left him yesterday. I didn't even get to thank him knowing that he only got hurt because of me in the first place. I sighed and sat up on my bed. The moment my eyes fell on the cursed white dress from yesterday, my heart sank. It had not being an horrible dream. I was truly going to marry Marco today!I shivered as I began to relive our encounter from yesterday. He was a sick pervert and misogynist. Marrying him was as well as signing my death warrant. Marco did not see a wife in me when he addressed me yesterday, he only saw a toy— a plaything which he could bend in whatever angle he wanted. "Surely dying is way better than marrying Marco," I cried as I got out of bed. I started pacing my room thinking of what to do. "Maybe run away?" I stopped in the middle of my room. "Wh

    ~SCARLETTI was panicking. I was beyond nervous. All my life, I had always been the obedient child, even if it was at my own peril and despite all that, it was not enough to earn me my mother's love. Yet even if it was not enough, I never rebelled but here I was, doing the one thing I never thought I had the guts to do. My hand reached Viktor's and he gripped me firmly. "You made the right decision," he whispered. "Scarlett! You can't do this! You have to marry Marco in my stead! It's your duty to protect me!" Maya shrilled hysterically.I was still trembling and beyond terrified so I refused to look at her or Mother. I just stared ahead at the man who seemed to be my savior out of the blue, in the one moment I needed him the most. And I was beginning to believe that all was well and I was going to be safe with Viktor when Marco suddenly yanked me away from Viktor and shot me his terrifying beady eyes.

    ~VIKTORI saw it coming. I anticipated this outcome and I pushed through to make it happen. I knew Marco Bianchi too well to predict his moves and make him play out my plan like a puppet. He was an impatient man who always liked to assert control over the weak— especially women. He was a sadist and it was a crime to have him breathe the same air as me. But for the sake of the truce and all the lives lost, I had to let him be.But not anymore. He had something precious of mine. He had the woman I had been looking for my entire life. He had my peace and I couldn't let him be. It was either she came with me willingly, or I kidnapped her. She never had a choice from the start but thankfully, she made it easy for me and all I had to do was play around with Marco's impatient personality. Dragging the Priest into this was all part of my plan to escape smoothly and I made sure that it all happened in my favor. I let myself be the victim and instructed all of my men not to pull out thei

    ~SCARLETTIt was all clear to me now. I had always been at a disadvantage from the start. She could never love me. She only gave birth to me to hate me— to punish me for the sins of my rapist father. I was dragged into this, forced to come into existence. I was never meant to exist in the first place.I was never supposed to come into being.And it hurt the most knowing that I was unwanted, unplanned. . . I was a mistake, an anomaly and it made my heart ache. I could not stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks, they just kept rolling down in heaps and I felt like I was so close to wailing. That was when Viktor suddenly crossed over to my side of the car, grabbed my cheeks gently with his good hand and made me look into his golden eyes. "So what if you weren't supposed to be born? Who cares? Screw them. It's their loss for not realising how amazing you are." I widened my eyes at him. "H— how can you say those things? You don't even know me."He smiled warmly. "Yet, I feel as if

I choked through the tears that had already begun to spill; despite him asking me not to cry. Luca instantly broke past the frozen entourage of men and looked down at Viktor. "Shit! You never listen to me, Boss!" Then he bent over and swooped Viktor onto his shoulder with all his might before beginning to run into the grand house."Clear the road! Jackson and Matt! Get the doctor ready immediately!" He yelled. And all hell broke loose. The men broke out of their trance and they started running around the place. Not knowing what to do and not wanting to be useless, I went after Luca and found myself fighting to catch my breath due to how fast he was going. It was strange but I decided not to think too much about it. Luca just wanted to save his boss. We went up large flights of stairs and eventually, Luca barged into a room. I followed and almost gasped out loud at how l

    ~VIKTORI saw him tense up the moment he realised that I was awake. "Step away from her immediately," I stated as calmly as I could even if all I wanted was to spring over there and grab him on the neck for daring to get that close to Scarlett. He was stubborn for a few seconds but I knew that he would obey eventually. He was in no position to go against his Alpha's words. Cassius finally stepped away from her and turned to look at me. "Seems it's too much of a luxurious to think you're dead." I saw Scarlett furrow her brows at his words and I smiled. Good, he was digging his own grave already and there was no way that Scarlett could ever like him. "I'm a hard man to kill, Cassius. . ." He stole another glance at Scarlett before turning to me. "Who's your beautiful friend?" My smirk grew wider. He was trying to provoke me but he was nowhere close. "Like you said, she's my friend and there's no need for you to know her. Instead, you will respect and give her absolutely no reas

    ~VIKTORI hated how embarrassed she looked. It made my wolf stir with anger. I did not like that someone was able to make her feel this way. I thought of punishing Luca for it. After all, he was the one who asked her to stay behind in the first place and take care of me. So he should have known to knock before barging in but he decided to be a barbarian. I could easily reach out across the room and rip his heart out right where he stood. . . But I still needed Luca and he's been the most loyal to me since I took the title of Alpha and Mafia Don. "This better be good, Luca because if it isn't, then no one can protect you from me," I stated as calmly as ever. Enough for Scarlett not to detect how serious I was and also enough for Luca to realise that his life was in danger if he made a wrong move. Luca turned pale immediately but stood his ground. "The Citadel is on fire." I instantly shot him a glare as my wolf came alive with anger. The Citadel was were all werewolves under my

    ~SCARLETTFor some reason, my heart was racing. I could not explain why. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that I was running to a burning building, whatever it was. Or perhaps because Viktor was beside me. I could not tell. The car finally came alive and sped out of the large estate. Luca was driving and immediately we drove out, I noticed that some cars also followed us. It was almost as if Viktor's men were on standby, always waiting to see him leave before following him. I sighed and stole a glance at Viktor. I felt bad that his Citadel was on fire. He had barely recovered from the gunshot he got this morning and he was already running back out. I wondered how he was doing? He looked pale to me and I was sure that he was just pushing himself forward to be able to get by. I stole another look at him and his injury. I wished that my presence in his life did not have to cause him so much pain. First, he had a head injury. Next, he took a bullet because of me and now

    ~SCARLETTI stared in horror at the Viktor standing before me. He looked terrifying. Everything about his aura had become dangerous and he looked as if he was capable of murder. Had he killed anyone before?"What is this nonsense? Leave the man alone! I'm just trying to take my daughter away!" I heard Mother yell. Viktor gritted his teeth as he looked down at the man whose head he had bashed. Blood was flowing in heaps. The guard was kissing too much blood and this wasn't even his fault. He was tricked into this. "So this is what you intend to use to take my woman away from me?" Viktor demanded. "No one, absolutely no one has the right to touch my woman." With that, he bashed his head onto the car again and the man gasped as he lost consciousness again. I gasped in horror.Did Viktor just kill this man?Maya screamed. My mother remained frozen. "On the ground! Now!" A new guard yelled after seeing what had happened to his colleague. Viktor shot him a terrifying glare and the ma

    ~SCARLETTI stood frozen as I stared at my mother and Maya. Maya was dressed as flashy as ever in a short dress which had glitters in the front and a pair of heels. Her hair was tied up in a bun and mother also wore a casual dress. They looked as healthy and well fed as they usually did.I knew I was going to run into my mother sometime in the future but I never expected that time to be now. Seeing that Maya was by her side, it meant that Marco never took her as his bride. Had the wedding arrangements between our families been cancelled or did mother work a perfect plan to go about it. "I never thought I would see you in such a place. Did you by any chance get a job here?" Mother asked. Maya suddenly broke into laughter. "Scarlett the janitor at the mall. She even stinks of one." "Have you finally come to your senses and are you ready to come home?" Mother asked. I swallowed hard as I stared at her. I missed home, only the positive parts but I was never going back home to her.

    ~SCARLETTI gasped awake with a start.The lingering pain of his bite burned my shoulders and I looked around me to see that it was already morning. Viktor was nowhere to be found while my heart hammered hard against my chest.I instantly jumped off the bed and ran to the mirror right opposite the bed. I checked my neck for bite marks but there was nothing.Did I imagine it?But I could feel the lingering pain. What did he do to me?That was when glitching images of a wolf snapped through my mind. A black wolf with golden eyes.I gasped and was about to drown in fear when the door came open and Viktor walked in with a tray of food."Sweet morning, my sweet," he whispered and jumped, startled by his sudden presence and at the fact that I was completely naked in his room.My hands instantly covered my chest and my private area as my face began to burn with embarrassment.Viktor only smiled in amusement. "What are you hiding, Scarlett?" He continued to walk toward me. "I saw all of you l

    ~SCARLETTMy body was on fire. Was this how making love felt like? Was this what I had been missing out on my entire life?I exhaled sharply as my body began to tremble. My core was on fire as a thousand emotions erupted at my core. His touch was electric as it scattered spidery sensations down my body. I could feel all of him inside me. He was hard and warm and full and so good. I could feel him stroking my folds deep inside of me. I was breathing heavily. I was already sweating and I wanted desperately to touch him as he fucked me. Every thrust was magical. It was different and it felt both sweet and painful. I felt tears exit my eyes as his speed suddenly accelerated more than before."Viktor!" I cried in a voice louder than before. "Yes, my baby. Scream my name. . ." He ordered as his free hand grabbed my breast roughly. I gasped but he swooped down and claimed my mouth, biting and sucking my lips as his kiss got more aggressive. I gasped again when he bit me so hard that h

    ~VIKTORI was surprised. I never thought she had it in her to make the move— to take the initiative. It satisfied me to know that my girl had finally grown. She was still naive and I liked that about her. I liked the feeling of being her sole protector.Her lips felt warm against mine. Her eyes were squeezed shut and her kissing skills showed how inexperienced she was. Her hand left my hardness and wrapped around my neck. While the other remained on my chest. I took this as my go ahead to take control. I was going to do things to her which she never thought possible.I suddenly deepened the kiss and grabbed her waist, pulling her even closer to me. She moaned and I moved my hands lower until I grabbed her butt and she gasped but I swallowed it with my mouth. I dug my tongue in and began to drink in the sweet taste of my mouth.All the while, my wolf was dancing like crazy. It kept melting with pleasure and coming back to dance within my core. My body was heating up with lust and

What was I doing with him here? Why did I offer to clean him up?I had no bad intentions when I offered to clean him up. I genuinely wanted to do something for him after I saw that he had hurt himself for me. But it was by the time he started pulling off his clothes that I realised the situation that I had put myself in and the signs I was portraying. "I— I was—" "You don't need to be shy about it, Scarlett," he whispered. I noticed that the desperate and vulnerable man who had come to my room just minutes ago was gone. The man who made me feel compelled to help him and fix him up. Now, the man in control, the man was voice messed with my senses— was back. And I asked myself again. What was I doing?"I— it's not that. Y— you can leave. I'm done cleaning up the blood from your face." I tried not to l

My wolf stirred with anger and I hated that I allowed Cassius to push me this far. I stupidly let my anger get the better of me and I hurt Scarlett. The voices in my head started coming back up. They started screaming in my head. There was chaos in my mind. I was kissing my senses. The only one who had brought peace to my world was pushing me away. She was rejecting me. She definitely hated me!I screwed up!I suddenly turned toward the stairs and raced down them before running outside the building. I ran into the trees as rage blinded my sense of reasoning. ‘You're worthless! You've always been worthless! It's no surprise that you can't keep a woman!’ The voice of my greatest tormentor screamed in my head. I released a frustrated roar and started slapping myself. "Shut up! You're lying!" I roared at the trees. My wolf started tumbling and churning insid

How did I get to this stage?And suddenly something snapped within me and I instantly backed away from him. "What do you think you're doing?" I shot breathlessly at him. Cassius only chuckled in response. "You even taste better than I imagined." I glared at him as if he had lost his mind. This man just kissed me without my permission!"Aren't you going to apologise?" He raised his brows at me. "But my brother didn't need to apologise to you when he kissed you." I gasped at how petty he was being. How old was this man? Nothing I said was going to help me prove my point so I just exhaled sharply. "I'll appreciate it if you respect my personal space and not make any moves like this again in the future." Cassius did not look remorseful as he lifted his hand in surrender. "You would actually like me more if you give me a chance." I gasped at his a

    ~SCARLETTA knock startled me out of sleep. My eyes flew open with a frown and I realised it was already so bright. How long had I slept? How tired had I been?I checked the clock on the bedside table and I realised that it was already ten in the morning. I gasped. I had never slept this long before. I usually woke up before the sun rose and I was always subjected to do all the chores in the house. My mother had never let me sleep in, not even once. The knock sounded again and I jolted out of bed. I grabbed the jacket that came with the pale pink night dress I had on and walked to the door. I pulled it open and was met with red roses presented in my face. I widened my eyes in surprise as I looked up to meet Viktor's golden eyes."I got these for you," he whispered. "A beautiful morning to you. I trust you had a good night's sleep." My mouth came open in shock as I stared from the flower back to him. Not a soul had ever given me flowers before. They looked fresh, like he had gott
