The next day, Scarlett woke up with a sour mood. The thought of stepping into the same pack she swore to never go in this life, was a pure headache for her. Not to mention meeting loads of betrayers. But, she had no other choice. The 'abandonment contract' needed to be signed in order to make her future not messy anymore. And she already promised her aunt to be there. Still, her mind was suspicious. Is it a good idea to be there? But, it's just a contract signing. Deed of a few minutes. Maybe, she could have a glance at her best friend? The reminder of Alaina turned her mood darker than before. Scar still couldn't believe how Alaina also turned her back on her. Scarlett never had a chance to confront her. Maybe, this was the chance for it. Making up her mind, Scarlett freshened up and got ready. She tried to connect to Ulva, yet couldn't. Ulva wasn't anywhere near. However, when Scarlett opened the door, she was greeted by Duke, guarding the door. In her thoughts, she completely
Most people probably don't remember the dungeon of the packhouse, which used to be a solitary confinement cell. It smells like old piss, vomit and blood that got mixed with the newly flowed blood and scream of a deceived she-wolf. Scarlett lay on the rough and blood-stained floor of the dungeon. Her breath was shallow and her chest moved up and down heavily. Hands were shackled to the heavy chain of pure silver. The warriors didn't only bring her to the dungeon but tortured her to break apart. And Scarlett was helpless against the pleading tone of Ulva. She kept reminding her to not use her strength on them. She wasn't the official Luna of the Mystic Howl and still an omega of Night Walker. She could not use her power to rebel against the Alpha. "Look at her, still got that alluring beauty, covered in blood." One warrior spoke, eyeing her up and down. Her skin was revealed for their eyes as her clothes were torn in places, the cause of beating. "Hmm, though that weird eye and b
Life tends to take explicit turns at some point. Everyone needs to go through the desire of destiny. Scarlett was not exceptional. But the course of events taking place in her life surpassed all other situations. Starting from the rejection till brutally captived by the people she once trusted, faded in front of the truth her wolf revealed. The daughter of the Moon Goddess... It's not just a position of life, but a status that could turn everything upside down. Learning the truth, Scarlett didn't know what to say. Remaining silent in a daze, she stared at the dark wall of the dungeon. Her thoughts were blank and her body stiffened. 'Y-ou... Ulva...' After a long time, her lips quivered, trying to form words, yet failed. Sigh... 'A shock, I know. But, this is the truth, Scarlett. The changes we went through didn't happen for no reason. Our strength and ability depends on our status. Our birth has a reason. A reason that needed to be protected. We are the salvation of a dark soul,
Dave knocked on the door, before pushing it open and walking inside. Nicholas was sitting behind his desk, eyes closed and brows furrowed in agony. His mood has been ruined since last night. He did not understand the reason behind Scarlett's snap at him. Damon was grumpy too. It wasn't that he forced her for anything, she was into it willingly, wasn't she? Then why did she behave as if she hated it!? This one question kept roaming in his head the whole night. His mind was devastated, about to explode just thinking about the scene she caused. No matter how much he tried he couldn't forget that exact line, 'You disgust me...' How the fuck he disgusts her when she enjoyed that short moment too!? What punishment is she giving him!?Now, Dave's scent didn't help him at all, instead worsened the situation, reminding him of the closeness between him and Scarlett. She was so fine and comfortable with him! And dare to say he disgusts her!? What a pitiful woman! When Nicholas didn't open
'Luna is not anywhere in the Fort...' Dave informed. 'What?' His frown deepened with time, feeling agitated. What is that woman planning to do? 'Did you check around?' Nicholas asked, trying to remain calm about everything and not getting attention for his changed expression. 'What was Duke doing when she disappeared?' 'We checked everywhere Alpha, but she wasn't around.' Dave replied. 'There seems to be a problem. We need you here, some things have not appeared right.' Nicholas couldn't help but stand up from his seat, earning all attention to him. All gazes were watching him with silent questions. "Is everything alright, Alpha?" Elder Elijah asked and Nicholas only nodded, clenching his fists, "Yes, elder Elijah. However, I have to apologize in advance for stepping away. I need to be somewhere else right now if you'll excuse me?" "What are you saying, Nicholas?" His mother was displeased, "How could you disrespect Elder Elijah like this?"Nicholas didn't bother his mother but
Scarlett stared at the dungeon entrance, trying to hear some footsteps. However, except for some movement and random chats of two female warriors, nothing could be heard. Scarlett leaned against the cold and damp wall, rubbing her stomach. The whole day had passed. Although she has no sense of time in the dark dungeon, she somehow manages to guess by the little crack in the ceiling. The light was not coming anymore, Hinting the fall of darkness. Scarlett was starving for the entire day. Alaina promised to send some food for her, yet nothing came her way. Was she not able to manage anything? Does she have to starve while living here? Not even water could quench her hunger anymore. She needed food to be alive. Scarlett had been famished before too, trying to catch the attention of her uncle and aunt, she worked hard for days, sometimes even ignoring her meals. But, it wasn't this long ever. She had been foodless almost for twenty-four hours now. Her limbs were supported by the exce
Three days later, in the Mystic Howl Pack, Damon was at a halt. Because of the curse, he was overly frustrated because of the sudden evanescence of his contract mate. The same for Nicholas too. Although he appeared more calmer than Damon, the appease of his soul suddenly vanished. As if that woman didn't only leave alone but taken a part of him too. Without being mates, how on earth did he end up craving her presence every single second? His restlessness was growing too much to bear at this point. The last three days were like hell for Nicholas. He thought, things would calm down, yet nothing turned better, even gotten worse! He called her a couple of times in the last few days and Scarlett's phone was switched off! She did not only run away but even dared to ignore his calls! Nicole watched his brother helplessly in their private dining hall in the Tralington Fort. His devastated situation was unbearable for her to deny. Since Scarlet left, she didn't see her brother at peace.
"Welcome to the Night Walker, Alpha Nicholas." Alastair was excited and somewhat proud to see the most powerful Alpha receive his invitation. "My daughter is very lucky with your presence on her coronation day." Nicholas wasn't listening to his words but kept looking around for Scarlett. However, her smell was nowhere around. But, Damon turned more aggressive after reaching here. He was more restless, pacing back and forth and kept urging to find Scarlett as soon as possible. When he didn't reply, Dave stepped forward with a smile, "Alpha is glad for the pack. We will be here for some time and then leave. But, it's better if you arrange a private place for us. Alpha does not like gathering." He covered up the situation for Nicholas, making Alastair smile foolishly. "Of course! We will take care of you the whole time. I am sure, you won't regret being here." He stepped aside, stretching his hand, "Please, Alpha. This way." They were taken to the pack hall where the coronation was
"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. For yea
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
'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
