Scar glanced at herself in the mirror, adorned in a soft pink dress that accentuated her beauty. However, the sparkle in her eyes didn’t match her outward allure; instead, they were clouded with bitter sorrows.

Life hadn’t unfolded as Scarlett had meticulously planned. Always cautious and sensible in her actions, she had dreamt of a simple life—happiness with her mate and assuming the role of a peace-solving Alpha. Yet, here she was, thrust into an unknown pack of powerful shifters, surrounded by individuals who harbored a deep-seated hatred for her. On top of that, she found herself entangled in a contract with the Lycan Alpha, driven by a desire to reclaim his throne and seek revenge against George. Tragedy had become her reality.

A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts, and Dave entered the room. The moment his eyes fell on Scarlett, he was taken aback but composed himself swiftly.

Her enchanting appearance captivated him. ‘She is really beautiful,’ he couldn’t help but think,

    After the nerve-wracking council session, the couple made their way to what was more appropriately called a pack castle than a pack house. Nicholas, holding Scarlett by the waist, led the way inside, setting off a wave of whispers and curious, disapproving gazes that rattled her nerves.In the midst of the scrutiny, Scarlett caught sight of Nicole, who offered a reassuring smile and a subtle nod upon their eye contact. Scarlett’s spirits lifted a tad. At least, she thought, there was one person here who didn’t harbor resentment towards her.Nicholas brought them to a halt in front of their seats, prompting all pack members to cease their activities and focus on their Alpha. Rumors about his mate being a mere wolf had circulated, and it didn’t sit well with the pack.“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us here. Allow me to introduce this beautiful lady beside me...” Nicholas turned to Scarlett, “Scarlett Rowan, my mate, and your future Luna.”The announcement ignited a flurry

    Clad in comfortable nightwear, Scarlett strolled out of the closet. The image of Nicholas emerging from the same closet was still etched in her mind, causing a headache. The last thing she wanted was to be swayed by him, but it seemed to be happening faster than she anticipated. Sighing, Scar got on the bed and laid down.‘Better fall asleep before he comes.’ Scarlett kept chanting the same line in her mind, and Ulva rolled her eyes. ‘Stop acting so pitiful!’ Ulva growled, and only then did Scarlett calm down.Lost in thoughts about the recent events, Scarlett’s eyelids grew heavy, and she drifted into a deep sleep. When Nicholas emerged from the bathroom, Scarlett was already in a deep slumber. He laid down beside her, the moonlight casting a gentle glow on her face, accentuating her beauty and innocence. He couldn’t tear his eyes away.‘I wonder how beautiful her wolf will be,’ Damon purred. ‘If only I could reach her.’‘What is this girl, Damon? Why can’t I read her mind?’‘I wish

    ‘He rejected us, Ulva. We can’t shift now,’ Scarlett reminded her wolf. ‘You need to control for a few more days till I find a solution,’ she said with a sense of determination.‘Do it fast, Scar. I am losing it day by day. You saw what happened earlier, right? For a moment, I lost myself! That was very scary, Scar,’ Ulva groaned, a hint of desperation in her voice.‘What happened today angered him more,’ Scar replied with a sigh. ‘The only possibility now is to make him fall in love with us. With our shifting, we also need to make sure things happen as planned so that we can get back at George.’‘Hmm. You’re right...’ Ulva agreed reluctantly. ‘For that, we need to know Nicholas more, but he is always running away from us!’ She growled at the last part. ‘The worst part is, I can’t even reach his Lycan. It only depends on you now.’Scarlett stayed silent for a few seconds, her eyes following Nicole’s movements from the corner of her eyes as she drove the car. After Nicholas left, Nicol

    ‘No, Scar! Don’t close your eyes!’ Ulva’s voice echoed urgently in Scarlett’s mind, causing her to groan in response to yet another punishing blow. She felt another hit, and her body burnt in pain.But then, a primal growl erupted from the depths of Scarlett’s being, signaling a profound shift within her. In a dramatic twist, her eyes burst open, ablaze with an orange inferno adorned with a silver sparkle. Like a fierce storm, she unleashed a rapid and calculated punch, feeling a satisfying connection before the air filled with a sharp grunt.Amidst the chaos, anxious screams reverberated in Scarlett’s mind, intertwining with Nicole’s worried exclamation. Scarlett’s vision wavered, threatening to succumb to the overwhelming assault, and her body felt numb. Her knees buckled, surrendering to the impending fall. However, just as the ground seemed inevitable, a pair of arms swooped in, holding her firm in place.Dave, returning from a brief call, was met with a scene of shock and fury. I

    ‘You killed that man.’‘Pttf,’ Scarlett choked on the water, managing to regain control just before spitting it out.‘What the fuck is wrong with you!? Do you think it’s some joke, Ulva!?’ She was angry.‘I am not joking!’ Ulva was equally furious. ‘It wouldn’t have happened if you let us shift, Scar! I kept telling you to shift, but you’re so bound by the rules! And now, see what happened!’Setting the water bottle aside, Scarlett sat up straight. Her head began to spin with the revelation of the truth. Inhaling deeply, she calmed herself before starting her conversation. ‘I don’t understand, Ulva. How is our shifting related to this? Killing a Lycan? Do you think it’s believable?’Ulva sighed, ‘I’m sorry for snapping like that, but...’ She sighed again, half groaning. ‘I did not lie, Scar. You killed that Lycan. No matter how unbelievable it sounds, it’s the truth.’‘How is that even possible, Ulva?’ Scarlett shook her head helplessly.‘Do you remember when I said I felt stronger a

    “I’ve got this bad feeling, Brother,” Nicole said the moment her aunt and cousin exited the palace. “It could be them...”“Is something wrong with them?” Scarlett asked, unexpectedly caught in the middle of a family drama.Nicole sighed, “That’s Aunt Helena and her son Alex. Everyone knows Alex is gunning for the Alpha regent position. But, you see, the cards were in their court as Brother had no mate...”Scarlett blinked, connecting the dots, “And my arrival changed it all...” She realized the gravity of the problem and shivered, sensing the potential danger she was in. “We-were they the ones attacking me in the mall?”Her eyes searched Nicholas for an answer.Nicholas didn’t reply directly but turned to Scar, “We still don’t know the whole situation. For a few days, you should stay home, okay? I don’t want a repeat of the same incident.”For a moment, Scarlett felt the urge to let her emotions take over and kiss him, given how he looked at her and cared for her. But deep down, she k

    “Was it them?” Dave asked the moment they stepped out of Tralington Fort.“They did not give away their thoughts,” Nicholas replied, his brows furrowed and deep in contemplation. “It’s not them...”“How?” Dave inquired.“Alex is not stupid. He knows if anything happens to Scarlett, especially the moment she arrives in the pack, all fingers will point at him. He wouldn’t take such a rash risk,” Nicholas explained, shaking his head. “It was someone else.”Dave grasped the point and nodded in agreement, “True.”“And what about the other attacker? Who was it?” Nicholas asked, and Dave shook his head.“It’s unidentified, Alpha... The news has already reached the council and other ranked members. It’s a mixed reaction. But, everyone was taken aback by the style of the attack,” Dave reported.“Hmm... Let’s see how things unfold in the meeting.”They entered the grand pack meeting hall, where all the ranked members and the entire council had gathered. Everyone rose to show respect to their Al

    The following morning, Scarlett once again woke up alone on the bed. She tried not to let it bother her, but a nagging emptiness persisted.‘Good morning, Ulva,’ she greeted her wolf.‘Good morning, Scar...’After stretching and a few playful rolls on the bed, Scarlett got up and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. However, as she caught sight of herself in the mirror, a loud gasp escaped her lips. She covered her mouth in shock, her eyes widening as her mind raced. This couldn’t be real.Leaning in for a closer look, Scarlett confirmed it wasn’t a trick of the light. Several strands of her orange curls had transformed into a silvery hue, giving the impression that she’d gone for a daring hair makeover.‘Is this some kind of disease?’ she asked, seeking answers from Ulva.‘I don’t think so,’ Ulva replied uncertainly. ‘Maybe... it’s connected to the other changes,’ she added, referring to Scarlett’s newfound strength.Turning to the mirror again, Scarlett tentatively touched her hair

    "So... You're not getting married?" Scarlett pursed her lips, feeling embarrassed now for assuming things wrongly. She thought Nicholas was getting married but it's not the truth. Nicole was getting married. Yes, she is. To her mate whom she rejected 400 years ago. Nicholas brought him back for his sister. With time he realised how it hurts when you have to let go of your mate. Her mate forgave her and both became happy. Since Nicholas became the Alpha regent, he erased the traditional discrimination and royals become people with emotions nowadays. Their mother specifically. She become more flexible toward acceptance. Nicholas holds her tight in his arms, nuzzling her neck. His fear of losing her still lingered inside his heart and he wasn't able to let her leave his arms. "No, I am not... But, I should have done this before so you return earlier." He muttered. "I won't let you go anywhere now. If you try to, I would lock you up in the jar so you don't vanish." Scarlett leaned on

    In the Astral World... The kingdom of Goddesses was shining, decorated so beautifully, flowing the festive mood. Everyone has gathered in the Kingdom of Selene, the Moon Goddess to celebrate the birthday of her first menae. All her children and their families came. The place was crowded. However, the prime face of the celebration was nowhere to be seen. Far away from the chaos, Scarlett was Sitting under the tree of stars. Alone and distant from others. Nothing could cheer her up, apart from the thought that her mate down there doing a good job running his packs. Although there was no count of time in the ethereal world, it's been three long years in the world where she left her heart years ago. She heard Nicholas is doing a great job. He has become the Alpha Regent. His curse is gone now. He can shift and go near to any woman. From one of her sisters, she heard that he was probably getting married soon with royal blood. That broke her heart though she felt happy for him. At le

    Nicholas glared at the psychotic man. Alpha Lucian did not just break into his wedding day, he kidnapped his bride, bound them in a dark spell and disclosed his curse to the world. Now, he has placed poison for him in exchange for Scarlett's life. The entire pack was panicked and their belief was crushed by the cruel truth. Everyone was demanding an answer while Lucian smirked at him. However, Nicholas does not care about his curse, power or future anymore. His only thought was Scarlett. She was bound by the dark spell and wouldn't be able to use her powers. What would he do now? "So?" Lucian arched his brow at the most powerful Alpha who was vulnerable before him. "What did you decide, Alpha Nicholas?" "How will I know you will let her go once I drank this," Nicholas asked. The cold fear was coursing his heart inch by inch. Lucian laughed. "Alpha Nicholas, you must know that my obsession with Scarlett was longer than you imagined. I did everything to get her. Once you're gone, s

    Scarlett followed Ulva's lead. She paused in the middle of the forest and closed her eyes. Nothing but darkness covered her. She drowned herself in the depths of her soul and called for her mother. 'Please, help me, mother...' Her entire body spoke for her. Soon, Scarlett felt each vein coming to life. She was floating and felt lightened. "Scarlett..." An ethereal tone echoed in her head appeasing her soul. Scarlett opened her eyes. A lady with shining silver hair and lavender eyes, standing in front of her. Their resemblance connected them and Scarlett's heart clenched tightly. "Mother..." Her voice shook and her throat turned heavy. Emotions were crawling and past lives started flashing before her eyes slowly. "My child." Moon Goddess Selen was touched to see her daughter. She stretched her hands toward her firstborn. "Come to Mother." Scarlett did not waste a single second before running to her mother. She knew her. The moon Goddess for all but a lovely mother to her.

    Fear does not suit the Warrior Moon. The Goddess by blood. And Scarlett chose not to let her weakness wracked her senses. She sat in the dark dungeon. The entire shifters' world probably were searching for her by now. The love of her life might be ripping the world for her. However, would anyone ever think that she was right under their noses? They probably wouldn't imagine her existence in her own pack! Scarlett was immersed in thoughts, sitting alone in the dungeon. After describing his story, Lucian went out, saying he had to take care of his opponent first. Scarlett only hoped he would not hurt Nicholas by any means. As she was thinking silently, the subtle sound of footsteps alarmed her. A shadow formed in the dark and soon the figure came out in the light. Scarlett gasped in silence. She did not expect this particular figure here. "George!" "shh"... He shushed her, squatting beside her and whispered, "You alright?" He asked, as if he was worried. Scarlett did not reply to

  • Tempted by her Forbidden Alpha   106. Alpha Lucian...

    'Alpha Lucian...' Scarlett could not believe her eyes. Wasn't this man the Alpha of the beautiful Western Mountain pack? Her childhood friend Matt belongs to that pack, even the future Alpha, isn't he? How could it turn out like this? How on earth this man who appeared sweet and gentle turned into the Master of dark witches! "Nice meeting you again, Alpha... Oh, or should I say, Queen Scarlett?" He raised his brow at her and chuckled a little. Disgust rushed through her spine. Since childhood, Scarlett learned one thing only, Dark witches are not anyone's friend. Even the entire witch clan tend to ignore their own kind. They are the most hated enemies as well as the most dangerous ones. Those who shook hands with them were nothing but an evil soul. Because dark witches followed the evil clan and once one entered into their clan, there was no way to return. "Why did you bring me here?" Scarlett asked harshly, she was angry. "Yes, yes, I will give every answer to your question, Q

    "Ma'am, why don't you drink some water before?" The lady asked before pulling out the dress from the bag. Scarlett smiled, "No thanks, I am fine." She declined softly, turning to the closed door once. For some reason, she was not enough comfortable to be with these women around her. Although they were humans, something was off. Probably, because they were human. Considering it was her first time encountering a human here, it was a weird experience. The lady smiled, "It's okay, ma'am. Before the wedding, every girl turned nervous. I am telling you from my personal experience. Please sip at least. You will feel better." The lady seemed sweet to her, caring even. She heard humans were a bit pushy always, yet kind. Turning to the bottle she offered, Scar felt she could have a sip of water. Thanking the lady, she took the bottle and drank half of it. The lady took the glass as Scar sat quietly, looking at the mirror, as she watched the other two women prepping the dress for her. He

    Finally, the most anticipated day came. As soon as morning tried to peek out, the door of the master bedroom was knocked, breaking the peaceful sleep of the couple. Alaina and Nicole were there to take Scarlett with them. It's a rule of the royals. On the wedding day, the couple could not see each other till they were wedded. Nicholas was grumpy, yet no one listened to him and even dared to ignore the Alpha's order. Scarlett was almost dragged out by her friends and the preparation started. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Scarlett complied with everything they arranged for her. The hair and makeup artists were in awe of her beauty. They kept praising her flawless skin and shiny curls. Scarlett was shy all the while and kept thanking them. After the hair and makeup were ready, it was time to wear her dress. The dress has a zipper system so it wouldn't ruin her hair and makeup. However, the problem was the designer lady still didn't appear with the dress. Both Nicole and her mother were

    'Let's mark each other.' His words came unregistered. It took time for Scar to digest what he said, yet she successfully gasped out her surprise. For a moment, she was speechless in her overwhelmed emotions and choking up in her tears. "Y-ou want to..." She could not speak further. The happiness was boundless as she covered her mouth. Nicholas chuckled. Lowering his head, he kissed her face and nodded. "I do and..." He paused. "A-and...?" Her voice shook. Slowly moving her hand from her mouth, he pinned them over her head. His eyes darkened as he started nibbling on her sensitive spot, arousing her once again for his merciless torture. "And give me a bunch of pups..." He whispered in her ear, once again choking her breath. "I want to see your swollen belly full of my pups. You'll move around barefooted all over the Fort and demand things from me. I want you to be my wife, Scarlett."Saying, he inserted in her moistened hole. "Yeehs!" She moaned. It was for both his answer and a
