~SCARLETT

I 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. "Where will I run to? Where can I go?" 

My mother had all of my identification documents in her possession. I could not get a job without her authorisation and she never let me work even once. She kept claiming I was too weak for it but I knew it was because she didn't want me to become financially independent. 

She had more power and control over me when I was as helpless as this. 

I sighed in desperation and was about to start pacing again when a knock sounded on my door and it came open. 

Mother walked right in. "What? You're nowhere near ready! It's already 9am!" She exclaimed. 

I was about to protest when she pushed me into the shower and turned it on. 

"We don't have all day. Do you want to anger Marco? Do you have any idea what that man will do to us?" 

I reluctantly washed up and stepped back into the room with a towel wrapped around my chest. Mother started fixing my hair up for the first time in forever and it warmed my heart. 

All I ever wanted was for her to love me too like she loved Maya. All I ever wanted was for her to care. I could sit in this chair forever if it meant that she would keep fixing my hair. 

"Mom?" I dared to call and she stopped immediately. "I— I'm scared. I'm afraid of what Marco will do to me after the wedding." 

I swallowed hard as my voice began to break and for the first time, her voice softened as she stared at me through the mirror. 

"Scarlett, I need you to be strong for this. . ." She trailed. "If you can pull it off, if you can make this marriage a success. . . Then I will be a better mother to you." 

I felt my heart skip a beat as her last sentence began to echo over and over in my mind. 

Was she really going to finally accept me? Was she really going to love me too?

I lifted my head high and locked my gaze with hers in determination. If enduring a crazy marriage was going to earn me my mother's love. . . then I was ready to do it.

"I won't let you down, Mother," I breathed heavily and she gave me a satisfied smile. 

The rest of the activities were a blur. Mother got me all pretty and she even put the veil safely on my red hair. 

When everything was set, she led me to a white jeep while Maya and Father got into another car.

 My heart kept pounding heavily all through the way there and Mother offered to hold my hand and ease my nervousness. 

Eventually, we arrived at the church. A man dressed in a black suit opened the car door and helped me out. There were more men like that positioned in different places at the church. 

Father got out of the car and walked to me. Then for the first time, he held my hand and began to lead me down the aisle. 

I spotted Marco at the altar, waiting with an older man by his side— the man was probably his father. 

I looked at the standing guests who were present. There were not many of them and they were all dressed in black. They looked as suspicious as Marco and it only made me believe that they were members of a Mafia group or a secret society. 

We reached the altar and Marco took my hand this time. Then we turned to the priest and he began the ceremony. 

"Blessed be all who have made up time to witness this beautiful moment. Our children have decided to do what is right before the Lord by getting joined in Holy Matrimony. . ." 

The priest's words faded away in my ears as I got lost in my own head. The pounding of my heart intensified and I felt as if I would collapse even before the wedding ended. 

My hands had become sweaty and I knew that Marco could feel my body's violent tremors but he said nothing. He was probably waiting for the ceremony to end before he could devour me. 

"If anyone present knows of any reason why this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace," the priest announced, jolting me back into focus. 

"Finally. . ." A familiar voice answered and I froze. "I thought we'd never get to this part."  

I recognised that overly calm and confident voice. I turned instantly and was met with him— the warm stranger.

Viktor. 

He was standing in the center of the church, clad in a black suit that made him exude an aura of mystery, danger and safety at the same time. 

"Viktor Marcelli, you have nerves showing up at my wedding," Marco stated and I blinked in surprise. 

The two men knew each other. 

Viktor smiled. "I'm here to stop you from making a mistake." 

"What mistake?" Marco demanded as he tilted his head slightly. 

Viktor chuckled dangerously and slowly pointed a finger at me. "That woman is not Maya Vaughn." Then he moved his finger to Maya who was clinging to my mother on the right side of the church. "She is." 

My heart sank as my eyes went with shock.

"What is the meaning of this nonsense? Who is this man?" Mother roared as she jumped to her feet. 

"Watch the way you talk to my boss, Woman! You can lose your tongue for that!" Another man snapped as he stepped out from Marco's guests. 

It seemed that Viktor had brought backup and they were all disguised as Marco's family. My mouth went dry as I realised that my predicament had only gotten worse. 

Marco narrowed his eyes at me before turning to Mother. "Is what he's saying true? Is that Maya?" 

Mother scoffed. "You can't possibly believe this clown!" 

In a flash, the man who had threatened mother earlier zoomed toward her and was about to hit her when—

 "Luca!" Viktor called, stopping his intentions halfway. "We're in a church. No violence is allowed in the house of God." 

Then he cleared his throat and turned to Marco. "The woman you're marrying is Scarlett, Ramona's first child before she got married to Malcom Vaughn." 

Marco gritted his teeth and I saw him begin to fume with anger. "Ramona! Were you trying to deceive me?" He roared. 

"I told you! He's lying! I don't even know who he is!" Mother lied through her teeth. 

"Viktor Marcelli might be my sworn enemy. . . But he would never lie to me!" Marco roared. "For daring to trick me, I will go ahead and marry Scarlett but I will also take Maya with me!" 

Mother gasped and I staggered back in shock. This was not supposed to happen. It was supposed to be a smooth wedding. How did it get so complicated?

 "Ah," Viktor interrupted again. "That is where I will have a problem with you, Marco Bianchi. I can't let you marry Scarlett. She needs to make her choice since she's a victim in this." 

"I appreciate you pointing out the mistake to me, Viktor but I don't need you here anymore. You may leave!" Marco stated.

My intake of breath became shaky and I hated to be in the middle of this. I wished that the ground would open and swallow me up. 

Viktor chuckled and looked at me instead. "You don't need to feel pressured in any way,  Scarlett." He whispered and his voice seemed to calm my nerves. "I'm offering you a choice. You can either go ahead and marry Marco or you can come with me and I will give you all the protection you could ever need in this world." 

For the millionth time today, my heart sank as my eyes went even wider. 

"Scarlett! You're not going anywhere! You will marry Marco as planned!" Mother suddenly yelled. 

"I can't go with Marco alone! Hell! I don't want to go anywhere with him!" Maya screamed at me.

"You are in no position to make any choices! You became mine the moment I set my eyes on you yesterday! Imposter!" Marco roared and for a moment, all their voices began to echo in my head. . . Slowly becoming distant. 

I could not focus. I could not think. Viktor’s offer presented me with an impossible choice. The devil I knew, Marco or thé stranger who promised protection. 

My mother had never let me make any choices. She always made them for me and today, I was offered the right to make a decision that would shape my future. 

Viktor seemed nice but I had no idea what awaited me in his territory. What if he was much worse? What if he was a serial killer?

I looked up at Viktor and he outstretched his arm to me. Suddenly, the world felt calm again and all of my doubts were gone. It felt right to believe in Viktor. It felt like my best option at the moment. 

Marco was about to reach out and grab me when I ducked and ran forward instead— toward Viktor. 

"Scarlett! You ungrateful child!" Mother roared but I had already made my decision. 

"I'll go with you, Viktor.”

    ~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

    ~SCARLETTI saw horror as I stared down at the unmoving body of Viktor. "Viktor? Open your eyes, please. . ." 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

    ~VIKTORThe voice of the man I dreaded the most echoed in the depths of my subconscious. "You will never be good enough!" He roared. It was the voice of my father. The voice of the man I ended up killing. The one whose throne I stole. "You're worthless!" He went on. "I wonder how I managed to birth an incompetent son like you. You're not fit to be called my blood. You do not deserve that honor!"My heart sank and I clenched my teeth as his words disrupted my thoughts. His harsh venomous words had always had the power to wreck me and make me hate my own existence. No matter what I did, it could never be enough for him. Thus, I found myself constantly trying to prove myself to him even in his death. "You couldn't even handle a small problem like Bianchi! You're so worthless that you let him burn Our Citadel!" He roared. My entire body began to tremble and I struggled to break myself free from the mental cell that he had put me in. "Leave me alone! You're dead!" I snapped back at

    ~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.

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.

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!"

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."

    ~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
