Scarlett “Are you ready, honey?” Aunt Rachel shouted at the top of her lungs from downstairs and the next moment, I found someone knocking on my door. I rolled my eyes before opening the door, assuming Sasha with her stupid friends. “Morning, Scar,” Chloe said cheekily before pulling me in a quick hug and I couldn’t help myself but frown. It’s been days since I went into my first heat and sneaked out of Klaus’s house and after two days, the heat receded and I started training, though I hid everything from Rachel and she didn't force me to tell her where I was that night. Chloe wasn’t enough so Avalon also joined us in a bone-crushing embrace and I looked at the roof ceilings and asked the Moon Goddess for mercy. These girls would kill me from the lack of air in my lungs. I pleaded with my eyes to Sasha to get them away from me, her friends have been fangirling me because everyone got to know that Klaus and I were friends. That’s what he told everyone because he was too ashamed t
Klaus “Does it hurt, my Alpha?” She smirked, choking my breath with her grip on my neck. I didn’t expect her to be that good at fighting but again, she was a Gamma so she must be. “I want my mate at any cost, you ass-ole,” Todd reprimanded me, glaring at me as if it was me who was keeping him away from our mate. Though I was unable to breathe, he was enjoying our mate’s touch and the way she squatted on my body, it did nothing but aroused me and excited Todd. “The nasty wolf,” rolling my eyes at him, I provoked him. “You should be helping me to nudge her off my body or she might kill us and if I get killed, you also won’t be alive to get her love.” Todd hopped, swishing his tail in the back of my mind where only I could see him and he could see me. “I won’t help you. She won’t kill you if you accept defeat,” he smirked and blocked me. “Wow. You motherfu-ker.” I cussed him. Scarlett got my attention back as she tightened her grip on my windpipe and I raised my hands simply in def
Scarlett “You were marvelous,” her voice interrupted our conversation after the training as Marcus and I were chatting about how the pack members never got trained in the past so they were weaker than I had presumed. I turned to see a beautiful girl with emerald green eyes glimmering at me. “Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Jenna,” she said enthusiastically and forwarding her hand for a handshake which I reciprocated generously. "I saw you teaching that trick, you're so fast and you were absolutely marvelous." “Thank you, I’m Scarlett, and um…” her face was somehow familiar but I couldn’t recall a memory of us meeting before. “Have we met before?” I asked firmly, she seemed a nice girl unlike those bitches who just wanted to hook up with Klaus. “What? Are you kidding-” “No. She really doesn’t remember anything that happened that day except waking up at his house,” Marcus came forward and cut her off before she could ask me anything further. Jenna gasped and her h
Klaus I shouldn’t have underestimated Jenna regarding this, she must have smelled my scent. Since there was no benefit in hiding, I reluctantly came out of the bathroom and Scarlett followed me with her head down. Jenna smirked and mind-linked me, “weren’t you enjoying eavesdropping on our conversation?” Rolling my eyes, I ignored my sister again. She strolled to Scarlett and said gently, “you continue your shower, Scarlett. We’ll talk later and I’m sure that now you know that I’m your mate’s sister.” Jenny stifled a giggle and I could see the embarrassment on Scarlett's face. “I mistook you, I…um, thought that you were calling Marcus your brother,” I was totally clueless about their conversation. I just heard her complaining about me to Jenny. “Though I’m surprised how a monster can have such a sweet sister like you,” she taunted, shooting a glare my way. A frown took form on my face when they talked about Marcus, he was already being way too friendly with my mate than he should
Scarlett The locker room fell silent as I arrived there, everyone looked at me as I’d grown two heads. For a moment, I wanted to go back to the bathroom if there was something wrong with my face though it seemed like they were talking about something very important and didn't want me to eavesdrop. Clearing my throat, I assigned a polite smile. “Um, you guys can carry on your conversation, I’m leaving,” I didn’t meet Klaus’s eyes and I wanted to avoid talking to Jenna for a while. She seemed sweet, friendly, and a gorgeous teenager. I felt guilty when the memories of the past floated in my mind and I wanted to kill her due to jealousy. She was Klaus’s sister but I didn't know that. “Let me walk you to your house, Letty,” Marcus offered as kind as he was and he always waited for me to take my shower and walk me back home. I liked his company and never denied any of his offers. “You will have to accompany me, Marcus, so I’m afraid you might not walk your friend to her home,” Klaus p
Klaus Since childhood, I was trained hard to be a strong Alpha in the future. Besides my education and training, I had time for nothing, not even to think about my mate or see girls. For sure, I had seen girls but I was too depressed about the fact that I was betrothed to someone who wasn’t my mate and unlike other werewolves, I won’t get my mate. The moment she stepped outside, my heart skipped a beat seeing her exhilarated smile. Scarlett had worn a black lacy dress that reached her thighs. I was enchanted to see her, she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen and I could stand here to see her forever. I could feel my heart going wild, for a few minutes, it thumped in my chest and I could feel the beatings of my heart in my ear. As she walked closer to me, my heart slowed down as if it was doing some kind of slow dance. “Hello,” she muttered, waving her hand in front of me to awaken me from the best feeling. “What are you doing here?” She asked though her face was flushed an
Scarlett Getting your ruthless and arrogant Alpha your servant for a night wasn’t a bad deal. Half of me wanted to know the reason behind his previous behavior toward me before giving him a second chance but I avoided the urge to do so. “I can get whatever I need by myself, I don’t need you,” uttering this, I started sauntering inside the club and he also started striding along with me, hands in hands. He wasn’t going to get me that easily, he can’t treat me however he wants and get me back whenever he wants. I’m his mate, not a toy. Even an Alpha didn’t have the right to treat me that way. Clearing his throat, he spoke in a gentle voice, “I’m ashamed of what I did in the past. I apologize for that.” My mouth dropped to the floor in awe, did he just apologize to me? I turned my face to the right to hide my freaking triumphant smile. “Did you say something, Alpha?” I decided to play dumb and hard to get. People don’t value the things they get easily. “I…I’m sorry, my mate,” he p
Klaus "What the heck was that?" Jenna spat at me before I could follow Scarlett to the backyard door of the club. "You don't have any idea how this news will break and your in-laws are going to make a fuss about this." The last thing I wanted to do now was to explain my plan to anyone, not even Jenna. I needed Scarlett to trust me, she had suffered through a lot. I wasn't there to comfort her when her sister died, she needed me and I left her alone, all by herself though I was supposed to share her pain and soothe her. I have been a ridiculous mate to her but not anymore. Holding Jenna from her shoulders, I looked into her green emerald eyes that were filled with concern for me. "Look, Jenny, I need you to trust me. I know what I'm doing, I've prepared for everything," assuring her, I left her behind and skedaddled to the backyard. As soon as I opened the door, my eyes lurked to where Scarlett sat with Marcus. Her head rested on my cousin's shoulder, his hand cupping her cheeks a
Scarlett“I don’t think that I will be able to attend the ceremony without throwing up again,” I sighed, sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for Klaus to bring me a lemonade so I would feel better.“Here,” he held the glass and I finished it. “You’re looking so gorgeous, honey.” I looked at my reflection in the mirror again and fixed my hair. The off-shoulder red dress hugged my curves perfectly while the gold necklace and bracelet complimented my outfit. My stylist, hairdresser, and makeup artist went outside after getting me ready because I wanted to be just with my mate.The crowd didn’t make me feel good, I was feeling more nauseous around them. I shouldn’t have eaten that lobster which I didn’t like for dinner last time. “You’re looking the best yourself, too,” I winked at him. His phone started ringing so I got up from the bed, ready to go down.“Finally, Asher’s call for your reports,” he said, shaking his head in relief.Mom and Evelyn entered my room, their lips parted i
Scarlett“Is everything alright?” I asked him after he cut the call. His expressions told me that it wasn’t because he seemed fuming in anger.“I have to leave tomorrow morning for the pack. Mom isn’t doing well, she had a stroke when I challenged Alex to the duel and none of them thought of telling this earlier. Asher has told me now that she is out of danger but I have to see her for myself,” he told me, rubbing his temples as he tried to calm himself down.Placing my head on his shoulder, I held his waist and we walked together to my bed. “We will leave together for our pack, Klaus.”“You’re meeting your family after so long, babe. I can’t take you with me. I will come back to take you with me,” he said with a smile on his face.“No. I can’t stay away from you anymore now,” I pouted. “They can come with us and live at Rachel’s for a while. I’m sure that they would love to come with us.”“As you say, my love,” he kissed my forehead, pulling me closer to his chest and sleeping on the
Klaus“We don’t have enough room here, Alpha Klaus. I hope you don’t mind sharing a room with me,” Liam told me in a stiff voice, glowering at me. I knew that he wasn’t going to let me stay here easily, he was determined to make me run away from here.If he was adamant about making my life hell here, I was intent on proving to him that I was not a coward whom he could scare away. I was determined to change his opinion of me. “You’re going too far, Liam,” Scarlett objected, glaring at her brother as we walked upstairs. Catherine had offered Amber and her mother to come to the palace to live with her for a while till the crowning ceremony was done. Layla was also excited to stay with her friend after so long and I was pretty sure that they had a lot to catch up on.“I have no problem with sharing a room with you,” I told her brother, looking him straight in his eyes.His gaze hardened as he smirked. “That’s great. Let’s have a man-to-man talk, then,” he said coldly before looking at my
Scarlett“Why didn’t she tell me this earlier?” I whispered after hearing from Amber that my mother didn’t have much time left after healing my mate. She didn’t tell me that she was weakening after healing others.“Sasha told me that she wanted you to live happily with me, that’s why she took Asher under her Queen's command to make the potion,” Klaus replied in a low voice, taking my hands in his before adding, “I promise, my love, nothing will happen to her.” Amber had turned her face in the opposite direction, her back facing us, since we shifted back to our human forms. She was murmuring a spell now and soon, we both were dressed and not naked anymore. “I’m sorry but we need to hurry. I can’t let anything happen to her after seeing her condition when she was taken somewhere else by your men,” Amber disclosed, glancing between us and locking her gaze with mine.My eyebrows shot up, my Mom didn’t look that sick when I ordered Damon to take her to the Blood Moon pack. “What do you m
Klaus“Back off,” Alex commanded me, his powerful Alpha aura suffocating me as I tried to fight his command. His aura shouldn’t have affected me, he wasn’t an Alpha yet unless…His golden aura confirmed my doubts and I realized that Harold had fucking stepped down from his position and had made his son the Alpha King privately which should have been a public ceremony.My head was lowering, submitting to him but I fought back his command, grabbing him by the throat which caused me severe pain in my body as he was my King now. Well, hell with that bullshit. There was no way I would accept that piece of shit as my King.I shifted back to my human form to challenge him for the duel. “I, Klaus Nelson, Alpha of the Black Moonstone pack, challenge you-” Before I could finish, Amber came between us, freeing herself from his father’s hold.“No, Klaus. You wouldn’t be able to win against the Alpha King. You’re not the Lycan King yet,” Amber said while raising her hands and summoning her powers b
Scarlett I stood amidst the gathered pack members, my heart pounding loudly in my chest. I had known that attending this ceremony would be a test of my strength, but nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to witness. The atmosphere was charged with tension as Samuel, the power-hungry bastard held my mother captive once again. My mother, the Lycan Queen, was bound and gagged, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and defiance. Samuel's grip on her was unyielding, and his sinister smile sent shivers down my spine. I still couldn’t comprehend how this happened when all of my people had accepted me as their Queen and pledged their loyalty to me. There must be a snitch who informed him about my mother being here or there was no way that he could find her here. My eyes searched for the culprit who dared to betray me but shock was written all over Damon and Jasper’s faces. They couldn’t betray me when they loathed Samuel, too. “Did you really think that I would trust you?
Klaus “Do you think she will come?” Jenna fixed my crooked tie while I looked into the mirror at my shadow. The Armani suit that my mother brought for me to wear to the ceremony fitted me well. The dark circles beneath my eyes and the beard made me look exhausted. I didn’t hate Amber but it was a relief not to have her around. I was grateful that she chose to get ready for tonight in another room. “We both don’t have any other choice, Jenny,” I clutched my chest and sat on the chair. “You have not healed completely yet, brother. Take rest for a while. We still have a bit of time before the ceremony commences,” My sister patted my shoulder and gave me a glass of water. ‘Alpha, can you come to my house?’ Rachel’s link popped into my head as I gulped the water. ‘Is Scarlett there?’ I asked immediately, my eyes lit with hope. My feisty mate could do anything and now that she had unlocked her powers and true identity, nothing could stop her. ‘No. Queen Catherine has escaped throu
Scarlett The metallic smell of the blood was getting on my nerves. The dungeons were fucking worst thing that one would see in the Lycan’s kingdom. Everything else was so pretty but the cells were the epitome of the living hell. All the guards and the torturers couldn’t muster the courage to look my mom or me in the eye. They knew what they were doing and they were very well aware of their wrongdoings. As we walked toward the cell, all of the prisoners bowed to us and my mom looked at me with pride in her eyes. “They all were waiting for their true Queen,” my mom said, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. “I’m not going to set all the prisoners free. They must have done some crime to end up in the cell. Not all of them are a threat to Samuel,” I told my mom, clearly not willing to show mercy to the criminals. I would not relish in their pain and wouldn’t torture them mercilessly but I wouldn’t let them pass the crimes they had committed. My mom grabbed my elbow though her w
Klaus I floated in the abyss, a realm of hazy consciousness, neither asleep nor awake. Time seemed to slip away, and the pain in my heart remained ever-present, like a relentless tormentor. In the distant echoes of my thoughts, I could sense the presence of voices, but they were muffled and distant, like whispers from another world. ‘Klaus, my love, can you hear me?’ A soft, melodic voice penetrated the darkness, pulling at the tethers of my awareness. It was Scarlett, my mate, calling to me with a voice filled with desperation and love. I struggled to respond, to reach out to her, but my body remained unresponsive, trapped in this agonizing state of paralysis. The burning pain in my heart intensified, a reminder of my helplessness. 'Amber,' Todd's voice trembled with uncertainty. 'She might be our only hope to wake you.' As if in response to Todd's suggestion, I sensed a surge of energy, a presence drawing closer to me. It was Amber, the powerful witch whose abilities had saved m
