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."
Alpha JaxonYou could hear a pin drop at that moment. I felt Scarlett's anger gnawing and banging incessantly inside her, forcing her to be let out. Her face was contorted in a scowl, her thick dark brows furrowed, and a visible sheen of sweat coated her creased forehead. Her lips were chapped, and I couldn't help but boil inside with the thought of her having gone for hours without food."Wh-y?" She muttered, hanging her head. I could hear the strain in her voice even as it dipped.Her mother, the person responsible for the murder of my own, cackled. I wanted nothing but to tear her limb by limb, have Astra heal her, then repeat the process again and again. She looked smug, wearing a long red robe that swept the foliage. My ankles were burning as the ringlets coiled, tightening around me."Why did you allow Silas to mistreat me, abuse me, when you had all this power?" Scar's broken voice penetrated my ears, snapping me out of my thoughts. I could only see Astra's back as she looked a
Scarlett"I need to know one thing before you proceed." I spoke lowly, staring at the woman I thought was my mother. Her actions had my stomach contents churning, looking for an exit."Did you know about the rape?" I looked at Silas briefly, who responded by smirking. Jax growled, wincing when the ringlets tightened. When she didn't answer, I nodded, concluding that she knew about it. Her silence was enough to force more heated energy to flow rapidly through my veins.She tilted her head slightly to look at Silas over her shoulder, and then she uttered. "No."Her voice hardened, making me chuckle bitterly. "You're lying." I shook my head, watching as Thiery trudged back with a bowl and two candles in his palm. Jax growled, choking on the sound of it as the ringlets pressed on his lower stomach. I tilted my head, observing as my mother held the items in her palms. She stared at them before looking at all of us, then threw her head back. She let out a cackle, shaking her head as red fla
***Scarlett*** "No, it can't be!" My mother shook her head, eyes wide as if she had seen a ghost. "Seize her!" She turned to Silas, who was already making his way toward me. "Paralizzare." The utterance flowed easily past my lips, stopping Silas right in his tracks. I wasn't even familiar with the words, but they seemed to conform to my thoughts. The sound of gasps heightened as Silas remained rooted to the ground, asking me to set him free. "Lasciarsi andare." My mother shouted, standing on her feet and towering over my short frame. "Have you no shame?" I raised an eyebrow, tilting my head to get a good look at her disgusting face. "Lasciarsi andare." She repeated, a look of controlled fear passing behind her evil eyes before she quickly masked it. I could feel her magic swaying mine, giving Silas just enough space to stretch his hand. She was trying to override my spell, but her efforts proved futile. "Let my mate go, and I'll set your minion free." My voice deepened as silenc
Alpha Jaxon"It's been over twelve hours, Astra; why isn't she waking up?" I looked at Scarlett sleeping, starting from her chapped lips, swollen eyelids, and tangled hair."I told you, alpha, she used a lot of energy. more than she has ever used. In all honesty, I still can't believe she did all that by herself." Astra responded, staring into space."It still sounds surreal; I wish I saw it all." I hang my head, chastising my wolf for allowing the psychotic woman to affect him. A thick silence stretched between us in mine and Scarlett's bedroom as I massaged her head slowly. I laid her head on my lap, wanting to keep her as close as I could."You should have seen that woman; she looked like a deer caught in headlights." Don't even get me started on Silas and Thiery." Astra excitedly narrated for the tenth time since she came into the room to visit Scarlett. I had ordered everyone to stay away and give Scar time, except Astra."Can we not talk about that now." I sighed."Baby, please
Scarlett."That feels so good." I moaned, enjoying the feeling of the hot water jets in the bathtub massaging my tense muscles. I sat upright, exposing my boobs above the bubbled water. Jax was fully dressed, squatting beside the tub, holding a bath sponge as I soaked in the water."Scarlett." Jax ground out the words between his teeth, his gaze flickering between my boobs and my lips."What?" I smiled teasingly, trailing my hand across my chest over my boobs."Stop it." He warned, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down."Come on, Jax, you're acting like you haven't seen me nude before." I teased, spreading my legs so that my feet were on either side of the drop in the bathtub. The action drew a warning growl from Jax, making him stand up to put a distance between us."Babe, you need to feel better first." He reasoned, looking at everything but me."But you're the one who said you wanted to eat me a few minutes ago." I squinted my eyes, raising my shoulders in question. He had been so ha
