Scarlett"We cannot be so certain about that Scar." Jax responded, my wolf seemingly agitated even though she had just calmed down."The alpha is right, honey; even the weakest warlocks can cast powerful spells. Sometimes it depends on the bloodline and obstinacy of the spellcaster." I sighed when Astra chimed in."You know what?" I looked at Astra's clock, biting the inside of my cheek as I thought."What?" Jax followed the line of my vision, furrowing his eyebrows in question of what I was up to."Maybe I can break the spell on that ring." That had Jaxon standing up from the couch, his jaw ticking forcefully."No." His voice deepened, opining his utterance with supremacy. "I will not allow you to endanger your life for the second time." He asserted himself, earning a nod from Astra."Listen to him, Scarlett. We cannot dare take that risk for many reasons, some known only to us." I heaved out a sigh."You will be there, Astra; nothing is going to happen to me. I can feel it, raw pow
***Alpha Jaxon***I sat in my office, listening as my father chastised me for not telling him about the discovery of the warlock. He expected to be notified because he was filled with revenge for his mate. I sighed, burying my face in my hands, as the man went on and on about a father-son relationship. venting about how I had become different since Scar came back after the kidnapping."Are you even listening to me?" I lifted my face after the man banged on the desk, demanding my attention."I don't see why you're screaming in my office; you already know." I spoke dismissively, heaving a loud sigh."This used to be my office too; don't sit there and think you can just treat me however you want." The man ground out the words, staring right into my eyes. If it were another person, my wolf would have taken it as a challenge. Only blood would explain what happened there because my beast would have snapped."With all due respect, father, I am in no mood for this. We are trying to see whethe
Scarlett"How did you do it?" Astra asked in the boardroom as we waited for the others to arrive. We had a meeting with the rest of the elders, Laura, and a few warriors, and of course the Alpha, Beta, and the gamma. There had been some other rogue sightings around the pack."I didn't break the spell." I smiled at Astra, enjoying how her orbs squinted in question."Scarlett, I examined the chain; you not only broke my spell but also cloaked it with yours. I tried decloaking it earlier, and it's even more complicated than the one on the ring." She whispered the last part, her eyes darting around to make sure nobody was around."Exactly. I just figured casting my own spell on it would override yours, break it, and replace it. See, we can do the same to the ring." I excitedly whisper yelled."Do you know why the owner of the ring didn't try to retrieve it even though somehow they knew they left it in this pack?" I shook my head."I cast my own spell on the ring, but my magic didn't overr
Alpha Jaxon"What do you mean your breast ripper wasn't there in the morning?" The former alpha stood, with tension gripping everyone in the room. The utterance alone from me was enough to put every single werewolf in there on high alert. That particular information was only known to me until I decided to put it out there."I always look at all my weapons before leaving the office and every morning when I step in." They were like my fine jewelry, which I treasured. Since recovering them from Cane, I had made sure to confirm every day that they are locked in the office cabinet."And the locks? Were they tampered with?" Mr. Weller asked, adjusting his specs. The man had perfect vision but always said he felt the need to wear spectacles for fun."No, the door was locked, and so was the cabinet. I am the only one who has the keys; not even my mate has a spare." I had spent the entire day trying to figure out how the perpetrator got in. I was tempted to have Scarlett help me solve it, but
Scarlett"From a scale of 1-10, how mad do you think the alpha will be at us?" Thiery took a right turn on the gravel road, driving slowly to avoid catching up with Jasper. Thiery told me he had already left in what seemed like a hurry. We couldn't outright risk him seeing us; it would raise suspicion."10," I simply stated, taking a bite of crisps I found inside Thiery's car."Jeez, luna, that really helped." He lamented, pouting."It's the truth, and don't call me luna again." I took another bite before turning to look outside the window. It was almost 7 p.m., with a cold breeze wrapping around us even though the heater was on. We were minutes away from our pack, heading to the nearest town that bordered the Yellow Moon pack.Thiery scoffed when I stashed a number of crisps in my mouth, chewing loudly. They were salty and sweet, with just the right amount of cheese and onion flavor. "Hey, I have a bad feeling about the man that was attacked yesterday."He spoke after some time of ju
ScarlettI opened my eyes, squinting to adjust to the stream of light from a small window. The room smelt of blood and body fluids, coupled with a smell I hadn't forgotten."Silas." I whispered, looking around the small space. I didn't know what to feel at that moment, but one thing was certain: I wasn't afraid of the foolish alpha. In fact, I licked my lower lip in anticipation of tearing him apart, limb by limb. Jax's face flashed before my eyes, making my wolf whimper. I needed to know what Silas had planned, then I would contact him, my mate.Just then the door creaked open, allowing more sunlight to stream through. "Slept okay, my little slave?" The man mocked me, raising an eyebrow when I growled."Oh, and she finally got her wolf." He mocked me again, earning a louder growl from me."Where's Thiery?" I shifted on the seat, similar to the one Cane had tied me into. Chains bound my arms and legs, stopping me from making much movement. I couldn't wait to burn them while I looked a
JaxonScarlett, I whispered, locked up inside my wolf, who had taken over the minute we couldn't find her. Following word from the guards at the gate, we had traced Thiery's car at the mall, but he and Scar were nowhere to be seen. I had gone berserk; my wolf had broken within seconds inside the mall, and shit hit the fan.It took a dozen men to stop my wolf from hurting more people as he looked for his mate. The metal door creaked from afar before Astra's scent hit my wolf's nose. He stood on all fours, snarling at the woman as she stood before us. It had taken her magic to incapacitate me, giving warriors enough time to lock me inside a cell in the dungeons."Alpha." She bowed, a roar from the deepest part of my wolf sent the bars almost rattling."I can't talk to you in your wolf form; you need to shift." My wolf wouldn't listen; he was set on sinking his teeth into anyone to get his mate back. I pleaded with him to allow me to shift into our human form, but he only snarled. Astra
ScarlettThe door creaked, pulling me out of my jumbled mind. I could smell Thiery before he stepped in, my wolf letting out a powerful snarl. We saw him for the traitor he was, needing to be executed in that instant. Whatever sibling love I thought I had for him was replaced by a sinister feeling. I pictured his bloody self lying on the ground, gagging on his own blood, begging for mercy that I wouldn't dream of granting."Get up." He commanded, making me snap my jaw."Look, you'll still remain the Luna. Only this time around, you'll rule a bigger pack, merged together." He stated this nonchalantly as he worked on untying me. I kept my mouth shut, swallowing saliva to avoid spitting in his stupid ass face."Come on." He instructed me to stand, making my brows furrow."Where are you taking me?" I spat, gritting my teeth together. I wobbled a bit, my vision becoming a little blurry. I hadn't had a decent meal for hours, and my stomach kept on churning."Move; I don't want to hurt you."
