Klaus “How the fuck did you get here?” The words flooded out of my mouth as soon as I woke up with a smile on my face, assuming Scarlett was on my chest but it was Amber. I jerked her off my body and stood straight out of my bed, snatching the sheet to cover my lower body. Lowering her head, she grabbed another sheet and covered her chest before sitting on the bed. “Don’t you remember what happened in the morning?” Goddess. I roamed my eyes over the window to see the light sun glimmers seeping into the room, making it substantiated that it was an evening now. “I wouldn’t have asked you if I would have recollected,” I rolled my eyes, looking at the wall. Why was she so dumb? “What happened?” I repeated in a grim tone, scratching the back of my neck. “Please, don’t lie. How can you forget such beautiful moments for us?” She stood in front of me and my eyes accidentally fell on her shoulder which was bruised. Heaving a distraught sigh, I stole her gaze, praying that whatever she was g
Scarlett The sunshine fell on my face, waking me up which seemed like the toughest task. It was too much for me to even move my hand, let alone wake up from the bed. I wanted to stretch my hands and yawn to shoo away all the laziness and tiredness but didn’t have enough energy to do so. Though I tried to move my body to sit on the bed which caused my back to ache unbearably. How could I become this weak suddenly? My eyes wandered around the room to find where I was and I heaved a breath of relaxation when I found it was my room in Rachel’s house. I recalled the incidents of the past which made me gasp and tears crept through my cheeks. My mom and Layla had given me the herbs which suppressed my heat besides my protesting and I lost consciousness after that. “Honey,” Rachel exclaimed before running over to me and hugging me affectionately. “You’re finally awake,” she whispered and I realized that I was naked beneath the sheets which made me wonder if Klaus came to me when I was pa
Klaus There was no training in the pack, no talk with anyone since I fucked up my life. Marcus had warned me to stay away from Scarlett and honestly, I didn’t care about his threats. Still, I went to see Scarlett but her mom didn't even let me enter the house. Layla threw me disdainful glances when I tried to prove my innocence, I didn’t do it deliberately. I didn’t even remember anything and since that day, Todd had probably shunned me out. I tried to connect with him and send a message through mind-link to Scarlett but I couldn’t. I couldn't feel the mind-link with her working anymore. My father had asked me to let her go so she could be happy with Marcus or someone else and won’t get hurt because of me which seemed right because I never made her happy. I kept hurting her since the day I found out that she was my mate. She deserves someone better who could keep her happy, who could fight for her, who wouldn’t bring her a messy life like mine. “Klaus,” Jenny stepped into my room c
Scarlett Seeing him in pain hurt me but he didn't get hurt when he was fucking his wife. I suffered through that pain because he couldn't resist his pretty Alpha wife. He turned his face to the wall when I caught his eyes glistening with moisture. All I wanted to do was to cup his face and kiss him hard on his lips though he was the reason for my pain. "I'm alive because of you, Scarlett," he spoke in a shaking voice before turning back to me while I got dressed back. "Do you regret saving my life?" My heart couldn't imagine a world where Klaus didn't exist. Yes, he hurt me in the worst way but I didn't want him dead. I wanted him alive even if in someone else's arms. "I regret believing your words. I regret being marked by you. I regret being mated with you. I regret falling for…" unspoken words remained in my mouth. He didn't deserve to know the truth. "Leave the fucking room, Klaus Nelson," I shouted out in fury, not being able to hold back my tears. "Leave me alone just
Klaus ‘Jenny, meet me in my room,’ I sent the message to my sister. She had studied the medicines so she must know the answers to my questions. I paced in my room while waiting for her. I had locked Scarlett in the quarters of my room where I used to hide in my childhood when I played with Marcus and Jenny. She slammed the door for a long time and finally got tired so maybe dozed off. ‘For Scarlett, please come,’ I sent another message, knowing my stubborn sister very well that she would ignore me for eternity if she hadn’t cooled her anger. “What happened to her?” The next minute, I found Jenny casting me a disdainful look. I walked toward the door and locked it before she could escape. “We need to talk. I need your help.” “Fuck off, Klaus. I’m not helping you to get her back so you can hurt her again,” she spat at me, shrugging off. “Let me get straight to the point, Jenny,” I sighed before adding, “I don’t remember anything about that night though I wasn’t drunk. The last th
Scarlett Klaus clasped my arm and pulled my body closer to him and when I opened my mouth again, he put his index finger on my lips which clearly didn’t help me. I didn’t want to feel the sparks or mate bond but his small touch prevented me from moving His fingers skimmed against my marking spot and my eyes fell shut due to overwhelming sensations. “It’s… um, the golden hues…” he couldn’t figure out why my mark was glowing with his touch. “Doctor Asher said that we had some history, a reincarnation thing,” I exemplified, sucking deep breaths to cool my nerves. “Woah,” he exclaimed though never stopping his fingers from trailing his mark on my collarbone. I pressed my lips hard not to make any sound, my body couldn’t stay still with his touch. My body had its own mind which refused to align with my heart and thoughts. As much as I hated seeing my body responding to his touch, I could feel the pain in my back lessening. Sometimes I couldn’t help but wonder why the Moon Goddess ma
Klaus To my surprise, Amber hadn't displayed her face this week. Though it didn't mean that I was content with my current situation. I wanted her to respect the Moon Goddess's choice and leave me and wait for her true mate which seemed a tough task to get done. 'Get the fuck in the hall. Pack members won't like their Alpha coming late,' Marcus sent me the link. Throwing my hoodie on, I opened Scarlett's room and found her already waiting for me. As much as I was craving to get a mind link with her, I didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable so I avoided talking about what Layla had suggested. "It would be better to see you using your brain someday," she rolled her eyes and walked ahead of me. "Why are you saying this?" I followed her back to my room. "If someone is getting back to their work, they don't plan to escape so they deserve the freedom," Scarlett elaborated and I strangled a chuckle at her sarcasm. "A little appreciation- you have good sarcasm and a witty mi
Scarlett Sometimes you don’t plan anything but then, the plan spontaneously appears in your life and you have no choice rather than acting upon it. I had no plan to escape from him this time but the moment I caught a glimpse of confusion in his eyes, I knew that I couldn’t be a part of his life anymore. I had to take my leave before it became too late. When his mother diverted his attention and he carried his wife in his arms toward his home, I came back to Aunt Rachel’s house, and gladly Layla and my mom were still there. I hugged my mother and wept in her embrace, snuggling up in her warmth. “I don’t know why the Moon Goddess is punishing you this way,” she muttered while patting my back. “You never hurt anyone, you don’t deserve this pain, my Letty.” “I was wrong, mum,” I retorted, hiding my face behind her back. “They’re married. I loved a married man, it’s unethical. I wanted him, I wanted what was never mine in the first place. I did a horrible thing. I hurt his wife. I’m th
