Scarlett

The guards came for me when the wolfsbane was at its peak in my system. Every movement sent fire through my veins as they dragged me from my cell, my feet barely able to support my weight. I tried to focus, to memorize the route they were taking, but the corridors blurred together in an endless maze of sterile white walls.

We stopped at a large metal door. One of the guards punched in a code – my dulled senses couldn’t catch the numbers – and pushed me inside.

The viewing room. My heart stopped.

Peter.

Or what was left of him.

They’d positioned him like a grotesque artwork, suspended against the far wall. His missing hand. His gouged eye. The cavity in his chest where his heart should have been. The message was clear: this is what happens to those who dare to help you.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?”

Alisha’s voice. But wrong. Cold. Empty. I turned to face her, and the person I saw wasn’t the sister I’d known for five years. Her eyes were different – harder, filled with a hatred that

Why hasn’t Finn realised she has gone missing!

I feel for Ray and Alisha. Hopefully this necessary ass whooping and humiliation serve to remind Scarlett that "positivity" isn't enough and that reality is cruel to those who fail to prepare.

    ScarlettThe first thing I noticed was the cold. Not the biting chill of the viewing room, but the deep, penetrating cold of the isolation cells beneath the pack house. My body ached, each breath sending shards of pain through my ribs. Alisha’s handiwork. I looked around and I realized I was in a different cell.I was in deep pain. My bones ached, but underneath the pain, something was different. Ray’s presence was stronger, more focused. The wolfsbane should have kept her subdued for hours more, yet I could feel her stirring, pushing against the chemical chains that bound her.Focus, I told myself, forcing my eyes open. The cell was pitch black, but my enhanced vision picked out details my human sight would have missed. Fresh scratches on the walls. The lingering scent of fear. Blood—not just mine.Others had been here recently.I pressed my palms against the cold concrete, testing my strength. My arms trembled but held. Whatever game Dickson was playing, he’d made his first mistake:

    FinnFive years since I walked away from her, letting my pride and hatred blind me.From my position on the pack house balcony, I watched young wolves sparring on the training grounds below. Their laughter felt out of place, a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing within me.“You’re brooding again," David remarked with a hint of displeasure as he approached, carrying two glasses of whiskey. “Third night this week.”I accepted the offered drink without turning. “I’m not brooding.”“Right.” He leaned against the railing. “And I suppose you’re staring at nothing in particular, not thinking about your mate and how she rejected you, right?”The glass cracked in my grip. “Shut up, David. If you have nothing good to say, just keep quiet and don’t add to my anger.”David set his drink down, his usual playful demeanor slipping. “You’ve been a ghost these past months, Finn. The pack feels it. I feel it, both as your beta and as your friend. And we both know why.”“I made a promise,” I said quie

    Finn"We found him." Edward’s words through the phone made my blood run cold. "But Finn... you’re not going to like this."My claws extended involuntarily, piercing the leather of my steering wheel. "Tell me.""He’s holding her in his pack. My sources confirm she’s alive, but..." Edward hesitated, something he never did. "Dickson’s planning a marking ceremony. Two days from now, during the full moon."The world stopped.My wolf howled in pure rage, the sound echoing both in my mind and through my chest. The steering wheel crumpled under my grip."What did you just say?" My voice came out distorted, barely human."He’s going to mark her in front of his entire pack. Make it official. He’s inviting representatives from other packs to witness it - to show everyone that he’s claiming his mate.""She isn’t his mate," I howled. "She is mine."The windshield cracked from the force of my anger. Marking ceremonies were sacred, meant to be a celebration of true mates finding each other. The thou

    FinnThe Northern pack house loomed ahead, its dark silhouette a stain against the night sky. From my position in the surrounding forest, I could see guards patrolling the perimeter – too many to count, all heavily armed.My phone buzzed. David again.“I’m thirty minutes out with reinforcements,” he said without preamble. “Don’t do anything stupid, Alpha.”I ended the call without responding. Thirty minutes was too long. Whatever Dickson was doing to her, I wouldn’t wait to find out.The guards were disciplined, I’d give them that. Regular rotations, overlapping patrol routes. But they had one critical weakness - they weren’t expecting an Alpha to come alone. The very audacity of it would work in my favor.I closed my eyes, letting my wolf surge forward. The shift was violent, bones cracking and reforming as rage fueled our transformation. When I opened my eyes again, the world was sharper, clearer. Every scent carried a story.And there – underneath the mingled odors of wolfsbane and

    ScarlettPain. That was the first thing I registered as consciousness slowly returned. Not the sharp, burning agony of wolfsbane, but a dull ache that seemed to reach into my bones. The second thing I noticed was warmth. A familiar presence wrapped around me like a shield.I forced my heavy eyelids open to find myself in an unfamiliar room, lying in a massive bed. Medical equipment beeped softly nearby, but what caught my attention was the large figure slumped in a chair beside me.Finn.He looked terrible. Dark circles shadowed his eyes, and bandages wrapped around his body spoke of wounds that hadn’t yet healed; wounds he’d taken fighting for me. His hand was clasped around mine, our mate marks perfectly aligned.“You’re staring,” he murmured without opening his eyes. “Do I look cute?”“You look awful,” I managed to croak, my throat dry.A small smile tugged at his lips as he finally looked at me. Those ocean-deep blue eyes I remembered so well now filled with a mix of concern and r

    ScarlettThe room fell silent after I spoke, and Finn stayed still on his knees, his expression filled with devastation. I watched as understanding dawned in his eyes – the true weight of what he’d done, the irreparable damage his rejection had caused.“Your child?” he finally managed, his voice barely above a whisper. “How? How is it possible for me to do that?”“It is," I said with a smirk. “All you need to do is go to the underworld to bring back my child.”The medical equipment beside my bed beeped steadily, marking the painful seconds that stretched between us. Through our cursed mate bond, I could feel his anguish building like a tsunami.“I—”“If you can’t do that,” I spoke, cutting him off. “Then you should have it in mind that it won’t be possible between us. After all, you made it very clear that day – I was nothing but my father’s daughter to you. A reminder of everything you’d lost.”Finn’s shoulders began to shake. For the first time since I’d known him, I watched as tear

    ScarlettAfter Finn’s tearful departure, I sat alone in the hospital room, my mind reeling. The revelation of our lost child had shaken me to my core, tearing open wounds I’d long thought had scarred over.Even now, I could still feel the phantom flutter of that tiny life, the dream of a future I had dared to imagine. Finn’s devastation had been visceral, undeniable. The man who had once rejected me without a second glance was now brought low, his pride and control utterly shattered.A part of me, the part that still craved his love and acceptance, wanted to reach out, to ease his suffering. But the stronger, colder part of me - the part that had endured five years of torment and loss - recoiled at the very thought.How dare he, I thought bitterly. How dare he come here, torn apart by guilt, and demand my forgiveness? As if any amount of remorse could undo the pain he had caused me.Yet, even as I tried to harden my heart against him, I couldn’t ignore the ache in my own chest. The ma

    FinnI closed Scarlett’s door behind me, my hands trembling with the effort it took not to punch through the nearest wall. Her words echoed in my mind: “I will never show my face in front of you again.”“MATE!” Storm howled inside me, the sound so anguished it made my chest physically ache. My wolf had been in constant torment since Scarlett’s return, torn between joy at having her near and agony at her rejection.I barely made it to my office before my control slipped. With a roar, I swept everything off my desk, watching as papers scattered and my laptop crashed to the floor. The sound wasn’t nearly satisfying enough to drown out the pain.“Alpha?” My Beta, David, appeared in the doorway, concern etched on his features.“Out,” I growled, my eyes blazing red. When he didn’t immediately move, I snarled, “Now!”The door clicked shut, leaving me alone with my thoughts and Storm’s increasingly frantic pacing. I could still smell her on my skin from being in her room - a blend of lavender

    Lucy“You mean...” Scarlett leaned forward, her brow furrowed as she processed this revelation. “You were the real heir to the pack?”“Yes, I was.” I nodded, remembering my father’s disappointment, his warnings that I chose to ignore. “My father disapproved of our relationship, but fate had other plans. We were fated mates, so my father had no choice but to accept him. He introduced him to the pack as his friend’s son and my mate.” I paused, memories rushing back with painful clarity. “No one in the pack knew the truth—except Diana.”“This is… shocking, Mother.”“Yes, it is," I replied, my throat tight with emotion. The bitter taste of past betrayal lingered on my tongue as I continued, “I loved him. I loved him enough to relinquish my position as Alpha so he could take over after my father passed away.”The pain of betrayal resurfaced, causing my chest to constrict. “But he... he repaid my love with treachery. He poisoned me, weakened me, and drove a knife through my heart with his o

    Lucy“Mother,” she called softly. “Is that you?”My throat tightened, preventing me from speaking. Despite rehearsing my speeches and explanations during the journey, they vanished.Tears streamed down my cheeks, carrying the weight of twelve years of absence, loss, and irretrievable moments. Each sob released the pent-up emotions within me.I had missed wiping away her tears after nightmares, missed teaching her to hunt, missed seeing her eyes light up when she found her mate. I had missed everything that made a mother.I wasn’t a mother. I didn’t deserve to be called one. What right did I have to see her now? I broke down in tears.“What right do I have to be called a mother?" I whispered, my voice broken and filled with self-loathing. I stumbled back, overwhelmed by the weight of my own failure.Then, something miraculous happened. Instead of turning away in disgust, instead of rejecting me as I deserved, Scarlett rushed forward.Her strong arms wrapped around me, pulling me close

    LucyWithout blinking or hesitation, Diana launched an attack. “How dare you! How dare you talk to Lucy like that?”“Diana, please stop,” I pleaded, reaching for her arm. The last thing I wanted was violence against those who protected my daughter. “They’re Scarlett’s people.”She whirled to face me, eyes blazing. “But they are treating you rudely,” she spat. “I won’t stand and watch you being treated like that.”With lightning speed, she spun and delivered a powerful kick to one of the guards. He flew backward, landing hard with a pained cry that made me wince.“You...” The remaining guards growled in unison, closing ranks. They launched themselves at Diana, who moved with the fluid grace of a skilled fighter, evading their attacks effortlessly.A smirk played across her lips. “You’re not worth it,” she taunted.She was about to strike again when a howl—deeper, more powerful than anything we’d heard yet—reverberated through the clearing.The very air seemed to vibrate with its author

    Lucy“Where is my daughter?” The question burst from my lips, raw and desperate.My hands trembled as I clutched Diana’s arm, my fingers digging into her flesh. “Do you perhaps know where she is?”Diana’s eyes softened with understanding. She nodded slowly, her expression gentle. “Yes. She is the Luna of the Crescent Pack,” she replied, watching me carefully for my reaction.I should have felt relief—my daughter alive, safe, respected, powerful even.But the ache in my chest only deepened, a cavernous emptiness that throbbed with each heartbeat.My beautiful baby. The memory of her infant face swam before my eyes—those wide, trusting eyes, the tiny fingers that had once curled around mine.I swallowed hard against the burning in my throat, my body physically aching with the need to hold her.“Let’s go there,” I pleaded, seizing Diana’s hand. My fingers interlaced with hers, squeezing so tightly I saw her wince. “Please.”Diana’s face creased with concern. “Okay. Okay. We will do that,

    LucyRemembering Dalma’s warnings about those who had tried to kill me, I disguised myself, binding my breasts and cutting my hair, adopting the persona of a male healer.The disguise became a second skin as I traveled from village to village, offering my healing skills to any who needed them.While exploring, I met a strong Alpha who saw my skills and wanted me to be the healer for his pack.I hesitated, valuing my freedom and fearing being tied down. I also worried about my enemies tracking me if I stayed in one place for too long.After much negotiation, we reached a compromise—I would serve as his pack’s healer, but maintain my independence, coming and going as I pleased. This arrangement satisfied us both, and for a time, all was well.Years passed, and then, like a bolt from the blue, my memories returned.The shock of it brought me to my knees, the truth of who I was crashing over me in merciless waves.Every moment of my former life played before my eyes in vivid detail—my lov

    Lucy (Scarlett’s mother)Many years ago.I tried to open my eyes, but they were impossibly heavy, as if sealed with lead.Every nerve in my body was on fire, the searing pain washing over me like molten metal. Not just pain—this was torment, the kind that makes you pray for death as relief.“Are you okay?” A voice penetrated the darkness, distant and muffled, like someone calling through thick fog. “Can you hear me?”I battled the heavy pull of my eyelids, feeling desperate to escape this fleshly prison. My mind was screaming in frustration, unable to control a body that wouldn’t respond.The voice spoke again, breaking through the darkness with crystal-clear clarity. “Can you hear me?”Of course I can hear you! The words burned in my throat, desperate to escape, but remained trapped inside me. Some invisible force held me down, like being buried alive.Panic surged through me as I gathered every fragment of strength left in my broken body—channeling it into one desperate attempt. Fin

    LucasThe blood drained from my face so rapidly I nearly lost consciousness.Even before he stepped into view, I knew exactly who that voice belonged to—the head healer.A wave of betrayal crashed through me, leaving nothing but bitter disbelief in its wake.Why? I clenched my teeth until my jaw ached. Had his word meant nothing?He had sworn to keep my secret, had looked me in the eyes and promised. So why was he doing this to me now?“Who speaks?” the elder demanded. “Show yourself.”“It is I,” came the measured response as he stepped into the circle of judgment.The elders’ expressions changed instantly, their impartial masks falling away to reveal raw curiosity. Their pretense was stripped off.“What evidence do you have that he is unfit to rule us, Healer?” The eldest leaned forward, eyes gleaming with anticipation.“He...” the healer faltered, his gaze meeting mine across the hall.I silently pleaded with him—my eyes begging what my pride would not allow my lips to form.

    LucasI remained on my knees for a moment longer, relief and suspicion warring within me.Why would he help me? What game was he playing? But I dared not question this unexpected mercy.Rising to my feet, I backed toward the door, unwilling to turn my back on him. Only when I reached the threshold did I realize I was holding my breath, as if I’d been in the presence of something that might devour me at any moment.As I entered my room, a surge of elation washed over me. A wild joy filled me, bubbling up and overflowing. I danced around my chambers, pumping my fists in triumph.For once, that intimidating figure had listened to me and yielded. Power coursed through my veins like lightning, intoxicating and fierce.I needed to celebrate this... of course, with a juicy pussy.I was still thinking about this when a maid walked in.“Alpha.”“Come closer,” I winked, my tone filled with joy.The shy maid came closer. I pulled her hand, making her scream before pressing my lips on hers.In a

    LucasI sat alone in my chamber, drenched in silence so thick it pressed against my skin. The shadows seemed to watch me, judging, knowing what I had done.The healer hadn’t shouted. He hadn’t threatened. He just looked at me, as if peeling my soul apart one layer at a time.And that single word—killer—still rang in my ears like a curse etched into my bones, a brand I could never wash away.I had tried to laugh it off, to scoff at him like I always did with those who challenged me. But my voice had cracked, betraying the fear that coursed through me.He saw it. I know he did.I poured myself a drink with shaking hands, amber liquid sloshing over the rim. I never planned for this—not for him to return, and certainly not for him to know. I had rehearsed every lie, every excuse, and yet I stood there like a child caught stealing sweets.He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t accuse me in front of others.And now I had a choice—convince him, bribe him, or bury him six feet beneath the earth
