Third POVTwo Years LaterDraven and Melody heaved consecutive sighs of relief after their twins finally fell asleep. They had tried everything for hours to get Astra Mae Fox and her brother Knox to sleep, including massage, swaying, and singing lullabies. Only when they contacted Scarlett did they get a complete guide, which worked within minutes. Now they had to tiptoe around and make little to no noise, so the twins couldn't wake up."Stubborn babies." Draven whined in a low voice, sleeping on his back on their bed, eyes tightly closed."I almost cried." Melody confessed, making Draven chuckle lightly, before he got a slap on his arm."Lower your voice. If you wake them up, I swear I will run out of this house and leave you alone with them." Melody sternly stated in a low voice, glaring at Draven as she lied beside him."I didn't think putting a baby to sleep would be so haard." Draven exaggerated the word 'hard' making Melody roll her eyes even though she knew so well what he was
Scarlett's POV'Please. ' I hoarsely whispered, attempting to raise my shaky hands to block the first splatter of rain. It started like a whisper, but soon it was falling down on me intensely. A sheet of heavy dark clouds had since occluded the moon and the stars. As the drops increased, I pushed myself faster, my body sliding on the wet grass. I whimpered yet again, the large bite on my heel stinging as the cold water poured down on me.'Please.' I was all alone, but I still had a shimmer of ephemeral hope inside of me. My enfeebled hands clutched on the slippery grass, while I used the only strength I had left to push my entire body forward. I struggled to stretch my numb fingers, but they put up a little resistance. I couldn't see clearly, not because of the down pour, or the darkness but because my eye lids struggled to stay open in the dark. My head pounded with every little movement, the extreme ache dizzying me.I tried harder, to pull myself from the grass covered road side, to
ScarlettI attempted to move, to stretch, to find a little comfort on the damp floor, but every single position proved to be too much for my rigid muscles. The little space was pervaded with repugnant stench of stale urine and rotten meat. My nose wrinkled, attempting to control the amount of the foul air that seeped into my lungs.The space was dark all the time, I couldn't tell how long I had been there. I couldn't even tell how I got there but I had a feeling I had been knocked out cold, because the last time I was in a better room. My head spun as my eyes stung with the excessive ammonia in the musty room.If I had known I would end up locked in a foreign territory, I wouldn't have escaped. I only wanted to be free, to enjoy my life away from the vile beings but seemed fate had another plan for me. I leaned back on the cracked wall, shutting my eyes briefly as my whole head pounded mercilessly.Even through the loud throbbing, my mind took me back to my former living conditions. Th
ScarlettMy eyes blinked open, a loud scream leaving my mouth as I thrashed on the hard floor. I whimpered, a fire spreading along my muscles as they were forced to stretch without a warning, reflexively. A bad dream, except now that I was awake, I knew it wasn't a dream but my reality. It felt so actual and that is when everything came rushing back.Cane and his friend, the two guards, the people that were placed outside my cell to occlude my escape. The same two vile men that wanted to force themselves on me. An image of my legs being pried open flashed before my eyes, followed by increased heart palpitations.The weary feeling of being held down, trapped on the hard concrete washed over me yet again. I relived it all over again, the helplessness, the constant begging. I wiped a sheen of sweat on my forehead with the back of my hand, ignoring the burning feeling all over my body.I had gone through too much in my pathetic excuse of a life to break down now. I massaged my temples to e
Alpha JaxScarlett was pushed by Cane through the door, with a tight grip on the back of her neck. She wobbled inside, her eyes glancing around the room, starting from Jasper, to Thierry my gamma and finally to me. Her two green orbs swirled with disgust as she briefly looked at me. I could see her nostrils flaring making my lips stretch upwards in a smirk.Her dress was tattered all over, exposing her dirty stained skin. Her hair was a mess of knots on her head, in need of a thorough washing. I continued my brief inspection, taking in the obvious swelling under her green eyes. Her back was bend, her tiny hands clutching her stomach tightly.Cane pushed her on the metallic chair, but not even once did the girl wince. I had hidden admiration for her despite how hard I tried pushing it away. She had tolerance to pain and I couldn't wait to see how far she would keep up the act. I broke rogues in this very same room, I maimed them, reduced them to nothing. I reminded them how useless they
Scarlett'No! ' The beast of a man sneered holding me by my neck, his claws digging into my skin. There was supposed to be pain on the punctured skin, but all I felt was electric tingles dancing across the parts his skin came into contact with mine. My wolf purred on the inside, enjoying his touch, but the bond couldn't fool me.Normally, I would have been shivering from the cold, but I felt warm. My clothes had shredded during the shift, but Thierry had been kind enough to drape a jacket over me.I felt half complete now that my wolf had finally surfaced. I felt like a totally different woman. Every single sense of mine was heightened, my vision was more clear, I could pick up sounds even as far as outside the chamber. Silas had insisted I didn't have a wolf, that I was weak, spineless and didn't deserve to have one but now, I knew I was normal.'You, a rogue, my mate? ' He let go forcefully, standing up with his strong muscular arms flailing in the air. I recoiled further on the wall
ScarlettI hadn't heard from Alpha Jax for what seemed like days. I was back in my cell, with no contact with the outside world. I hadn't slept a second, thoughts running in cycles inside my brain. I had jumped from a frying pan inside the fire without knowing.I shook my head, massaging my temples weakly. An heir, he wanted to simply use me to his own benefit and get rid of me. Didn't the bond affect him even in the slightest? Was his wolf comfortable with him playing around with a goddess given gift?I screamed my frustrations, the answer to my questions tasting bitter on my tongue. All my life I had passed in the hands of monsters like alpha Silas, but Jaxon was the worst of them all. Cruel in ways I had never seen before, the over 6 foot man was a force to be reckoned with, and unfortunately I was on the receiving end.'The alpha wants to see you. ' The sound of keys dangling filled the silence in the cell as Cane unlocked the door. I didn't wait for him to forcefully pull me up,
Alpha JaxSomething grisly, unfettered took over my system. My wolf stood rooted, pushing over, attempting to break free. I could smell fear from every single one in the room. The sheer power that emanated from me threatened to pull them down to their knees.PregnantThe word was at the tip of my tongue, burning, demanding to be let out through every possible way. I looked at Scarlett as she shook in my arm, her lips trembling. I pictured her beneath a man, relishing in pleasure as he took her over and over again. Possessiveness and jealousy filled me, my wolf demanded the information.'You couldn't fucking wait for me? ' I demanded, series of growls passing through my throat. Deep and animalistic, they reverberated around the entire room.'Please. 'She whispered, trembling, tears filling her eyes, streaming down her angelic face. She couldn't fool me though, with the results from the doctor, she was anything but angelic.'That is not the answer! Who the fuck touched you Scarlett? '
