The next morning, Scarlett woke up with her phone ringing again and again. At first, she groaned at the disturbance but received the call subconsciously, wrapped around Nicholas's arms. "Who's this?" Her sleepy tone sounded. "Scarlett..." A familiar female tone vanished from her sleep like magic as she sat up on the bed hastily. "Alaina! Is that you?" "Sca-r-lett..." Her broken voice rang in Scarlett's ear once again, making her anxious. Alaina cried, "Ple-ease come here..." "What's wrong? Why are you crying? What happened?" With each second, Scarlett was getting anxious. Alaina was a strong warrior. She never cries easily. Something must have been too wrong. "Please..." Her choked plea almost shattered Scarlett, as she hastily assured her to calm down, "Okay, I will be right there! Just hang on for a bit!" Hanging up, she turned to Nicholas, who was awake already and staring at her with confusion lingering on his face. "Nicholas, I need to visit Night Walker, Now!" Saying, sh
As soon as Beta David's words were set forth, the silence was replaced with murmurs. Everyone was curious and considering the facts. However, Scarlett was speechless. She did not expect to be in the spotlight like this. Or, the people who used to hate her even just a day earlier, would come with such a proposition. "But how can I...?" Scarlett wanted to speak but Elder Zachary stopped her with his next words, "I think, Beta David is right. Scarlett is the true heir of the Alpha position. She is mature and perfectly trained for the position. She has been training for the moment since childhood. Does anyone come forward to challenge Scarlett?" He spoke and roamed his evidentiary gaze around the hall. No one came forward, only looked at each other. The pack needed their Alpha. Everyone knows Scarlett has her true Alpha bloodline and no one dared to raise a question against her strength, as they already were aware of her silent but tough training years. Basically, she was built for t
The tension between the couple was extensive. Their gazes never left each other. They were silent but the storm inside them was genuine. Nicholas clenched his fists, the thought of her staying away from him terrified him. Damon was on the verge of an outburst. Kept urging Nicholas to not agree with such an absurd demand. However, Nicholas did not react like Damon. He was much calmer although it's just his outside, he did well. "Does it mean, you are leaving me?" He almost choked forming those words, yet controlled. Scarlett blinked. Did she say that? She only wanted to be the Alpha! What is this man!? "No! No-no, I did not mean that, Nicholas." She stepped closer, there was no space left between them. Her hands found his warm ones and joined them, looking deep in those enchanting emerald orbs. "I won't leave, no..." She assured him, calming the tsunami inside his bruised soul. "I accepted to become the Alpha of Night Walker, but I did not mean to leave you, Nicholas. This is my
When Scarlett finished the history of her recent days, Alaina was at the peak of her emotions. The force of truth was too much to endure and she turned speechless for a long time. "So... This is what happened in my life since I left the pack." Scarlett shrugged. Unlike Alaina, she was feeling less burdened by sharing everything with her friend. "S-o, you're the umm queen, who is a co-ntracted mate of Nicholas Rodrigo..." Alaina tried to process the entire truth, choking in her words, "Now, you want me to keep your identity secret from the Lycan Alpha, who can read thoughts." "Bravo, you got it right." Scar praised her. Alaina "....." "What the fuck were you thinking!?" She groaned in annoyance. "How the fuck am I supposed to keep this a secret from the man who read thoughts!" She freaked out in no time. Making an innocent face, Scarlett slightly pouted, "I thought you were my best friend..." Alaina "....." "Yeah, and you'll use the friendship card now, for real Scar? This is
In the northern forest of the largest and most powerful pack, Mystic Howl, a man was hanging by the silver chains, that sucked in his energy and weakened his healing process. His body was covered in several bruises with blood all over his broad figure. Almost counted his death, wanting it to consume him, yet it was far away from his reach. In front of him, a man was sitting firmly, his Emerald gaze was full of remorse and his cold feature was the summon of death. Beside him, is a loyal man with the same hard expression. "Do you know why you're like this before any questioning?" Nicholas asked, his faded scar twitching a little, forming a cold smirk on his darkly gorgeous face. The man in chains only half opened his eyelids, suffering to breathe. He had no energy to even part his lips. "So you speak the truth only," Nicholas answered, blowing his cigar. His handsome feature was letting out his true self. "Now, speak up." His eyes planted on the man. "Why did you betray your own p
Scarlett looked around the beautiful garden of the west. She had never visited the west mountainside before. The beautiful sunny side of the west was really mesmerising.The first thing she did in the morning was visit the Western Mountain Pack with Alaina. Duke and the driver arrived here safely and it went as planned. Her childhood friend Matt helped them. Although the pack wasn't the big one like Night Walker or anywhere near the Mystic Howl, the climate and people of this pack were very hospitable and peaceful. They were not after power and discrimination was off the topic here. Everyone respects each other and does their work based on their ranks. Matt wasn't the Alpha yet, but he would be soon. The Alpha of the pack was gonna hand over his duties to him. Unlike Matt's cheerful personality, Alpha was more secretive. He does not people much. Since she came to visit, she only heard about him from Matt and his father. Even Duke and the driver didn't see him either. Inhaling a de
"So, you are mates..." Scarlett chanted the exact line for the hundredth time unable to believe the reality. Never in her worst nightmare, had she expected Dave and Alaina as mates. The equation somehow does not fit into the context, yet here they are. "Yes, they are," Nicholas repeated the same answer at the same time. He found it hilarious and somewhat envious of his own beta. They could reciprocate their feelings for each other and he was having a hard time just to convince his mate to be with him! Truly ironical. The new-found couple sat in the opposite their own Alpha's, holding each other's hands. The matebond had hit stringer and for adult wolves like them, the idea of being close to their mates excited them. Inhaling a deep scent, Scarlett sat straight, "Okay, now we have to make an important decision." She stated and all eyes turned to her in silence. "I am glad for both of you guys and congratulate you for your bond, but we also need to think about our packs." She spok
Scarlett was Searching for Nicholas but instead met George. Instantly, her mood sunken as she glared at him. How did he leave the private cell? Wasn't he in the interrogation process? "What are you doing here?" She was alert within a second. If he is here, could it be her uncle and aunt have also been released? George expected this attitude, yet Wasn't encouraged. His smile deepened, "It's nice seeing you, Scarlett." "Why are you here?" Her tone deepened at his shamelessness, Ulva on the surface, taking a threatening step forward. George sighed, "Don't worry, the real culprits are not out. your uncle, aunt and Olivia are sent to the dark cell of the council. It's just me. I wasn't found guilty." Though his answer calmed her down a little, she did not lose her sharp gaze on him. "And you shamelessly dare to return here?" "I..." George sighed again, rubbing his face, "Scarlett, I..." "It's Alpha Scarlett for you." The muffled roar in her tone startled him and he immediately corre
"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
