Scarlett

I hurried out of David’s office, my heart racing in my chest. The mate bond pulsed with intensity, sensing Finn’s presence in the council chamber. My wolf, Ray, whimpered and clawed at my insides, desperate to turn around, to go back.

“Mate,” she pleaded. “We need him.”

“We need nothing,” I snarled internally, though my hand betrayed me by clutching at my chest where the bond pulsed strongest.

I hadn’t come to discuss hospital bills. I’d come because I’d overheard the maids discussing the meeting, and I had asked one to take me there since I didn’t know anything about his pack. I was curious— curious about how he led his pack, how he spoke during important meetings. I had let my curiosity get the better of me.

But seeing Finn had scattered my thoughts. Five years hadn’t prepared me for how he would look sitting at the head of that table, power and authority radiating from him in waves. Finn... this Finn wore his power like a second skin as I watched him speak.

    ScarlettI stared at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, fingers tracing the scar that ran from my collarbone to my shoulder. Five years of carrying these marks, of letting them define me. My wolf, Ray, pressed close to my consciousness, offering silent comfort.“You need to eat,” she reminded me gently, even though she was still angry with me.I’d been avoiding the pack dining hall, taking all my meals in my room. But the doctor had been clear - if I wanted to regain my strength, I needed proper nutrition. Not just the scraps I’d force down when the maids brought trays.“We could go early,” Ray suggested. “Before the others.”Before Finn.Just thinking his name made the mate bond pulse. I pressed my hand to my chest, a gesture that had become a habit. Sometimes I wondered if I touched the bond enough, it would finally break.“It never will,” Ray said softly. “You know that.”“It should have broken when he chose revenge over us.” The words came out bitter, rehearsed. I’d said them s

    ScarlettMy heart raced as David led me to Finn’s office, beating faster with each step closer. How could I face him? What if he rejected me again? All these thoughts flooded my mind as we approached his office.Ray stirred restlessly within me, equal parts trepidation and hope.“Are you sure about this?” she asked softly.I took a steadying breath. “No. But I have to try.”When we reached the front of his office, David paused outside a heavy wooden door, his expression both anxious and elated. “He’s inside. Just... take your time, okay? He’ll be happy to see you.”I nodded, swallowing down the lump in my throat. Happy might be an overstatement. Finn had learned to conceal his emotions, but I could still feel the echo of his pain through the mate bond.Slowly, I pushed open the door and stepped inside. The office was different from my father’s— all dark wood and towering bookshelves, Finn’s scent lingering in the air. And there, behind the large desk, sat Finn.He looked up as I enter

    FinnHolding Scarlett was a gift I didn’t know if I deserved.My hands ran over her shoulders, her back, as if confirming she was real; that she was here, in my arms, and not some vision craved by my guilt. She felt softer now, her presence gentler yet stronger. The years apart had changed us both, but while she had transformed, I felt emptier, as if my heart had withered in her absence.Every whispered confession she made, every hesitant touch, broke through me like waves on a shore, relentless and purifying. I wanted to speak, to tell her how much I’d missed her, how every sleepless night had felt like a punishment I couldn’t escape, but the words lodged in my throat. What did I have to offer her beyond my own tattered soul?Her gentle fingers brushed my face, tracing the lines that time and regret had carved there. Her touch was so familiar yet so heartbreakingly new, and I leaned into it, desperate to remember the feeling of her warmth.“Finn," she whispered, her voice soft and fil

    ScarlettAs I stood there, wrapped in Finn’s arms, a quiet sense of disbelief washed over me. Could this really be happening? After everything we had endured. The anger, the rejection, the pain - were we finally breaking free from the shadows of our past?I looked up at him, taking in the vulnerability in his eyes. Gone was the imposing, unyielding Alpha I had once feared and loved in equal measure. This was a different Finn - a man softened by regret and humbled by loss. My heart felt heavy for the burden he carried, yet he held me with such tenderness. Could I really move on from the past and accept the new future he was offering me?The last few years had built walls around my heart. Finn’s rejection and the loss of my baby had been the final blow after a lifetime of disappointments. And yet, standing here in his arms, I felt those walls begin to crumble, like stones eroded by a gentle stream.It terrified me, this loss of control, but there was a softness in me that couldn’t resis

    Third povAlaric sat at his desk, meticulously reviewing reports and handling the day-to-day affairs of his pack. It was tedious work, but as Alpha, he knew it was his duty to ensure everything ran smoothly.Just as he was about to sign off on a new trading agreement, the door to his office burst open. Alaric’s head snapped up, his eyes flashing red with annoyance.“What the heck is that for?” he questioned with a growl, glaring at his beta, Dave, for the intrusion.Dave bowed his head apologetically. “Alpha, I’m sorry. But Alpha Patrick is here to see you.”Alaric rose from his chair, a sense of unease settling in his gut. “What did you just say? Alpha Patrick is here?”Dave nodded. “Yes, Alpha. He’s in the pack hall.”Alaric slammed his hand on the desk, anger radiating from him. What could that vicious, power-hungry Alpha want? Alaric had a sinking feeling it was related to the request he had recently put forth.“Let’s go,” Alaric commanded, snatching up his jacket and striding out

    Alaric.My heart pounded against my chest as I approached the imposing gates of the Crescent Pack territory. The pack’s reputation for brutality preceded them, and every wolf in the surrounding territories knew to stay clear of their lands. Yet here I was, desperate enough to venture into this den of wolves known for their merciless ways.“Alpha,” my Beta, Dave, whispered beside me, “are you sure about this? The Crescent Pack... they’re not known for their hospitality.”I swallowed hard, remembering the cruel ultimatum from Alpha Patrick. My precious Nina’s fate was at stake, and finding Scarlett was our only hope. “We have no choice,” I replied grimly.As we approached the checkpoint, two guards materialized from the shadows, their eyes gleaming with predatory interest. “State your business,” one of them growled, his hand resting casually on the weapon at his hip.“I am Alpha Alaric of the Moonstone Pack,” I announced, forcing confidence into my voice. “I seek an audience with your A

    AlaricThe journey back to my pack felt like walking to my own execution. Each step was heavier than the last, the weight of my failure pressing down on my shoulders like a physical burden. Dave remained silent beside me, but I could sense his unease. We both knew what awaited us at home wouldn’t be pleasant.The sun was setting when we finally reached the Moonstone Pack territory. Elena was waiting at our house, pacing the floor of our private chambers. The moment I stepped through the door, her eyes locked onto mine, searching for hope that wasn’t there.“Well?” she demanded, her voice tight with anticipation. “Where is she? Where’s Scarlett?”I couldn’t meet her gaze as I sank into the nearest chair, my body feeling decades older than it was. “She won’t come.”“What do you mean she won’t come?” Elena’s voice rose sharply. “Did you tell her what’s at stake? That worthless girl has done nothing but cause problems since the day she married Alpha Dickson.”“Elena...” I struggled to fin

    ScarlettI stood at the window of my chambers in the Crescent Pack, my hands trembling despite my efforts to appear strong. Seeing my father today had ripped open wounds I thought had long since healed.The sheer audacity of him walking into my new home, into my sanctuary, demanding I sacrifice myself for Nina - it made my blood boil.Even after seeing me standing beside my mate, even after witnessing the power and respect I’d earned here, he still saw me as nothing more than a disposable pawn. A replacement. A sacrifice for his precious Nina, the very sister who had made my life a living hell.“How shameless can you be, Father?” I whispered to my reflection, watching as tears threatened to spill. The memories came flooding back - Nina pushing me down the stairs and claiming I was clumsy, Nina destroying my belongings and telling her mother I was acting out.Every time I tried to tell Father, Nina would cry and play the victim, and Elena would convince him that I was just jealous of t

    LucasWhen I was completely satisfied, I left the room with purposeful strides.Walking down the hallway toward my father’s chamber where his body lay, I could hear the shocked whispers about my inappropriate attire.Their disapproval washed over me like a sweet melody, but I didn’t give a damn about their pathetic opinions.“Alpha,” Jack greeted me as soon as I stepped in, his voice tight with barely contained anger.“Where is my father?” I asked, pretending not to notice.Jack’s eyes traveled slowly over my bright clothing, disgust visible in his gaze.Even when he didn’t speak, I already knew what churned behind those judgmental eyes. Why was I dressed like this, as if attending a celebration rather than mourning my own flesh and blood?“Why are you dressed like this, Lucas?” he asked, deliberately using my name instead of my title.“What dress?” I asked, looking down at myself. “The way I dress, is something wrong with that?” I enjoyed playing this game, forcing him to spell out h

    Lucas“Please,” she began, her voice trembling with exhaustion. “Allow me to rest.”“Not until I’ve had my fill,” I replied coldly, a merciless gleam in my eyes as I grabbed her wrist with bruising force before pushing her to the sofa in my room. The fear in her eyes sent a thrill of dark satisfaction through me.“Ah,” she let out a scream as I took her again.When I was finally done using her for my pleasure, I rose to my feet, not sparing her a second glance.At last, I was about to go see my dead father—the moment I’d dreamed of for years. I strode toward the bathroom, my heart light with joy, but before I could enter, Monica’s voice stopped me.It was low and weak, barely a whisper, as if all life and energy had been drained from her.“Alpha.”“What is it?” I responded. I didn’t bother to hide my irritation—I wanted her to feel it cut through her.She whimpered. “Why are you suddenly behaving like this?”“Like a madman, right?” I fired back, a dangerous edge creeping into my tone.

    LucasI watched Monica’s adoring gaze, her eyes filled with hope and affection.A victorious smirk crossed my face, knowing she was completely under my spell.Monica, someone I never took seriously. We’d spent time together just a few times, and now she couldn’t bear to leave my side.She even dared to dream of becoming my Luna. I had a pattern of pursuing those with little status in the pack ranking. It made it simpler to manipulate them after using them for my entertainment.She was just like everyone else I’d toyed with—just a temporary distraction and nothing more. A body.“I hope you won’t stop loving me, Alpha?” Monica purred beside me, her voice laced with lust.“Yes, darling,” I replied, my voice laced with honey-sweet affection. Even my performance surprised me sometimes.“Awwn,” she moaned, my fingers still inside her as we talked. “I love you, Alpha.”“I love you too, my honey,” I responded. These were the words she desperately wanted to hear, and I had no qualms about feed

    Alaric“Alaric, do you truly think this will work?” Elena asked, her fingers tracing lazy patterns across my chest.I couldn’t suppress a scornful laugh. How could it possibly fail when the Alpha King himself had shown such interest in Scarlett?If I had known she would turn out to be such an amazing asset, I wouldn’t have gifted her to Dickson. I would have given her directly to the King. By now, I could have been enjoying royal status.My eyes drifted to Elena, my beautiful yet simple-minded stupid Luna. Without the memory-altering potion clouding her mind, she wouldn’t be this gentle and kind.I remembered all too well her incessant complaints about Nina’s situation; her tears, her accusations, her demands that I intervene.I had no choice but to clear off her memories. The only memories left for her now were that Nina was living happily with Lucas.That was all I wanted her to know. I blocked all other news, especially the bitter truth about Nina’s suffering in their pack.That wo

    LeonardoEverything changed when I grew. I got stronger. Strong enough to protect myself. Strong enough to step over their blood towards the throne.Strong enough to tear out the hearts of those who crossed me. Strong enough to eliminate anyone who threatened what was mine.I had sworn never to show weakness again. To maintain power, I needed to be merciless. The bodies of treacherous women who had approached me with hidden daggers and poisoned smiles littered my past.Throughout my life, only my mother had ever shown me genuine love. Everyone else came with agendas—assassins sent by enemies or manipulators seeking to exploit my position.“Leonardo,” a voice called, soft as silk against my consciousness. “Are you with us?”I tried to open my eyes, but they were heavy.“My king,” another voice penetrated the darkness. “Can you hear me?”With tremendous effort, I forced my eyes open. The world swam in a blur, but the voices reached me with perfect clarity.“Is he responding?” someone as

    LeonardoAs darkness enveloped me, memories of my mother, Rose, flooded my mind in vivid flashes. These were not distant recollections, but raw wounds that reopened with each heartbeat.She had been my anchor, the only source of kindness in this world. She would whisper reassurances that I was deserving of love, despite my father’s constant assertions to the contrary.But now, all I could see was her bloodied body, her once-radiant life extinguished by the man who should have protected her above all others—my father, Alexander.My mother was the epitome of beauty, not just in her looks - her golden hair and piercing eyes made her the envy of all women in the kingdom - but also in the radiant glow of her spirit.She was the rightful Queen, the beloved daughter of King Hunter and Queen Mia, adored by everyone who knew her, except for the one who had promised to cherish her.My father never cared about her royal lineage. He resented her status, power, and the adoration people had for her

    Leonardo“But...” I let my gaze drift around the room as if concerned about being overheard. “Don’t you think she will suspect I was behind it?”He waved his hand dismissively. “No, we won’t make it obvious. I will perfect everything. I have done this before, and I can do it again, my King. I will do anything to see you happy with the woman you love.”“Really?” I couldn’t keep the excitement from my voice.Now there was no need to reveal that I already had Scarlett imprisoned in my palace. I could use this greedy fool to eliminate her mate while keeping my own hands clean in her eyes.“Yes, my King.” His voice grew animated with bloodlust. “All I need to do is plant some treason papers in his pack. Then you can order the palace guards to search his territory. They’ll capture him and rip his head off right there...”He trailed off, his excited eyes meeting mine, seeking approval. “Then we can destroy his pack to eliminate any future problems. You just have to leave everything to me. I

    LeonardoEverything is getting interesting. The look on Scarlett’s face as I departed made everything crystallize; it clicked the final piece of the puzzle that had been nagging at me for weeks.She and her father were never close—not from the start, according to my spies. And with the way things stand now, everything is working in my favour.I turned around and left with my Beta.“Where is he?” I asked, walking as fast as my legs could carry me.“In the throne palace,” Giovanni replied, struggling slightly to match my frantic pace.“Good.” We walked in tense silence, the corridor stretching before us like the path to my victory.Upon reaching the throne palace, the guards snapped to attention, their eyes lowered in deference and fear—exactly as they should be.“Here comes the King,” they announced in perfect unison.The massive doors swung open, and I stepped inside, my eyes immediately finding him.Alaric BlackstoneMy soon-to-be father-in-law.He immediately rose to his feet.

    Leonardo“This is interesting.”My body went into shock. I flinched violently, my blood turning to ice in my veins. That voice—I would recognize it anywhere, even in the depths of hell itself.My Scarlett.I turned around slowly, composing my features into what I hoped was a charming smile, though my heart hammered against my ribs like a war drum.“Having sex with a whore in the hallway. What a king you are.” Her words dripped with venom.“Who do we have here?” I asked with feigned innocence, desperately trying to salvage what little dignity remained. “My love.”The endearment felt hollow on my tongue as I forcefully pulled Mira’s hand away from me. Disgust radiated through me at the contact I had sought moments before.“My king,” Mira whimpered, her voice small and fearful.I turned back to her, my gaze hardening to steel. Without a single word, I made my message crystal clear: make Scarlett unhappy, and I’ll end your miserable life.Mira’s mouth snapped shut, terror blooming in her
