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.

    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

  • The Alpha's lantern mate   58 I failed my mate

    Klaus My life was turning into havoc, the more I tried to make it simple, the more it became complicated. I had tried so hard to win my mate back and the very day she showed me a sign that she was trying to trust me again, Amber brought a holocaust into our lives. I didn’t know where I was going, or what I was doing. I had lost track of my actions and emotions. Every inch of me was suffering in agony though my feet were following my mother who seemed content. Was it possible to blank out from your memories even when you weren’t drunk? Enough. I closed my eyes and put all my energy into calling out to Todd. Only he could tell me what exactly happened that night. There was no way my hands could ever touch another woman, my brain couldn’t even think of someone else than my mate. When every boy of my age was banging any chick he could find, I was saving myself for my mate. No Alpha ever waited for his mate to have sex with her. Alphas were notorious for fucking around and beddin

    Scarlett “It feels nice to have you here,” Jenna said in a whisper which would have gone unheard if it wouldn’t have been my werewolf’s hearing power. “I’m not planning to leave anytime soon,” I winked at her. “At least, not till my mate proves that he didn't fuck his wife.” Jenna stopped on her steps and started walking again when I turned back to see her. “That means you’re planning to leave,” she pouted. I pursed my lips and crossed my arms over my chest. “I’m not sure about anything, Jenna. Your brother has asked me for one week and he’ll prove that he didn’t cheat on me. I don’t even know what I’ll do if it turns out vice-versa.” “I hope that you don’t get hurt,” she took my hands in hers and assured me, “Klaus can’t even think of hurting you, let alone cheating on you. I know that I didn’t trust him the past few days and blamed him for breaking your heart but I regret it. I saw him so lonely and broken when he couldn’t shift and he was so scared of losing you.” Should I be

    Klaus The way she had challenged me to prove to her if I was an Alpha had awakened the badass Alpha in me. My little mate wasn’t aware of what I wanted to do to her, it was already hard for me to remain in control after sniffing her arousal. Todd fought for control but at that moment, I was blinded by the little temptress who was teasing me by tasting herself. I grabbed her waist and made her sit on my lap, licking her juices from her fingers. “Don’t tell me later that I didn’t warn you,” I whispered in her ear before tossing her on the bed. “The moment I laid my eyes on you, I wanted to fuck you hard and rough. I wanted to show you how badly I had waited for you.” My lips assaulted her lips passionately and devoured the sweetness of her mouth hungrily. I could never get enough of her. Scarlett fought for dominance but I didn’t let her take control of our kiss. I kissed her hard until I ran out of air in my lungs. A satisfactory smirk formed on her lips when I looked into her mag

    Scarlett The chaotic pieces of the puzzle seemed aligned with each other now. Amber had performed a spell on my mate to sleep with her. I couldn’t imagine that she could stoop this low. I never hated her, I pitied her because I assumed that she was also forced to marry someone who wasn’t her mate. I was fucking wrong. She didn’t want anyone else. She wanted my mate. Anyhow. I couldn’t help but laugh at myself inwardly for thinking that I was doing wrong to her, that I was snatching her happiness. “You’re right, Letty. I’m too shocked to even say something.” Klaus put his elbows on his knees. “I have known her since childhood but never knew that she could do something like this.” As much as I hated figuring it out, I had to accept the fact. “She wants you,” I uttered in a low voice that was barely audible to me but the way his perplexed gaze stared at me, I got that he had heard me. “Or maybe worse, she loves you and wants to be with you anyhow,” I blurted out and regretted immed

    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
