Scarlett

The quiet hum of the night settled over the packhouse, but sleep was far from my grasp. Alisha’s words churned in my mind, relentless as waves crashing against a stubborn shore.

“She doesn’t see what’s right in front of her!”

I pressed my hand against the cool window glass, gazing into the darkness where our pack’s territory stretched endlessly. Tonight, the vast expanse felt suffocating. Within me, my wolf stirred uneasily, sharing my disquiet.

Nina’s tear-streaked face flickered in my mind, so vivid it could have been real. The bruises that marred her pale skin, the tremble in her voice when she begged for sanctuary—how could all of it be a lie?

And yet…

My wolf’s disapproval rumbled through me. Trust your instincts, Scarlett. You’ve always known what she is.

My fists tightened, muscles coiled with tension as instincts whispered caution. They had betrayed me before, but something felt different this time. Nina’s apology wasn’t just words; it carried genuine remorse. Her tra

    ScarlettThe packhouse dissolved into controlled chaos, medical staff rushing in, their footsteps echoing urgently through the hallways.Nina’s trembling body consumed my entire focus, her fragile form seeming to collapse inward, overwhelmed by whatever Jack had begun to reveal.“Out,” I commanded Jack, my voice a low growl that brooked no argument. “Now.”Jack retreated, his expression a mixture of something unreadable - guilt, perhaps? Calculation? I couldn’t quite place it. Alisha followed close behind him, casting a quick, inscrutable glance over her shoulder.The doctor, a middle-aged wolf with graying temples and kind eyes, approached Nina. His hands were gentle but professional as he began examining her. Her breathing remained ragged, shallow gasps that seemed more emotional than physical.“Luna,” he said softly, “perhaps we should move her to a more private space.”I nodded and gently picked up Nina, who felt light and fragile. A stark contrast of the sister I remembered from

    ScarlettThe sun had barely risen when I felt Nina stir beside me. I hadn’t left her side all night, keeping vigil in the medical wing as she drifted between fitful sleep and silent tears. The morning light filtered through the windows, casting long shadows across the sterile room.“You didn’t have to stay,” she whispered, her voice hoarse.“I wanted to.” I squeezed her hand gently. “And I’m not going anywhere.”A ghost of a smile crossed her face, but it didn’t reach her eyes. Those remained distant, haunted by memories I couldn’t erase. The urge to hunt down Lucas and his father burned in my chest, my wolf pacing restlessly beneath my skin.A soft knock interrupted my dark thoughts. Dr. Josh entered, his presence calming and professional.“Luna,” he nodded to me, then turned to Nina. “How are you feeling this morning?”Nina’s fingers tightened around mine. “I... I don’t know.”“That’s perfectly normal,” he assured her. “Your body has been through significant stress. I’d like to star

    ScarlettThe silence after Alisha’s departure was deafening, her words pressing heavily on my chest. Alone in the dimly lit office, I allowed the storm inside me to brew. Doubt clawed at the edges of my resolve, but I shoved it away.I couldn’t afford to second-guess myself. Not now.A low growl escaped my lips as I turned to the map hanging on the wall, my eyes tracing the borders of my territory. My pack was my family, my responsibility. No one - Alpha Patrick, Lucas, or their damned spies - would threaten what I held dear.A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts. This one was softer, less urgent.“Come in,” I called, my voice steady.Alisha reentered, her expression softer, but her tone still carried a note of warning. “Sister, I didn’t mean to challenge you earlier. I just…” She hesitated, then sighed. “You’re the strongest person I know, but even you can’t face this alone.”I folded my arms, my wolf bristling at the implication. “And what would you have me do? Sit idly by whi

    Nina I waited until Scarlett’s footsteps faded before letting the trembling in my hands cease. The frightened, traumatized sister’s act dropped away like a discarded cloak, replaced by a smile that would have shocked my dear, protective sister to her core. Jack’s familiar scent reached me before he slipped through the medical wing’s window, moving with the silent grace that had made him such a valuable ally. “Ever the convincing actress,” he murmured, pulling me into his arms. I laughed softly against his chest. “You should have seen her face when I clutched her dress, begging her to believe me about the mate bond.” My fingers traced patterns on his shirt. “Our mighty Luna, so eager to protect her broken little sister.” “The same sister who watched her suffer years ago?” Jack’s voice held dark amusement. “Scarlett’s always been ruled by her heart. It makes her powerful, but oh so foolish.” “She actually stayed by my bedside all night.” I pulled back to meet his gaze, shaking my he

    ScarlettThe argument echoing from the hallway was nothing compared to the storm raging inside me. I paced my quarters, my wolf restless and uneasy. Something felt off, but I couldn’t quite place it.Nina’s bruises, her trembling voice as she recounted Lucas’s cruelty—they had been enough to ignite a fire of fury and protectiveness within me.I had promised to keep her safe, no matter the cost. Yet, a nagging doubt lingered, a shadow in the back of my mind I couldn’t shake.David’s words replayed in my head: “We need to be cautious, Luna. This feels... staged.” His concern had infuriated me at the time, but now, alone in the quiet, it clung to me like a second skin.I stared out the window into the dark woods beyond, my mind racing. Nina’s safety had to come first. But as Luna, I couldn’t afford to let personal emotions cloud my judgment—no matter how much it hurt. If I was wrong, if David was right... the consequences could shatter everything.The next morning came too soon. Nina had

    ScarlettThe silence that followed David’s words was suffocating. Nina’s sobs caught in her throat, transforming into a desperate, keening wail that seemed to vibrate through the very walls of the palace.“Jack killed Sarah?” I repeated, the words foreign and impossible on my tongue. “He killed her?”David’s expression remained impassive, a mask of professional detachment. “The wound suggests a wolf attack - specifically, a wolf claw mark. Sarah was killed last night.”Nina’s body shook violently. “No,” she whispered, then louder, “No! Jack would never—”“Silence,” I commanded, my wolf rising to the surface. The authority in my voice was absolute, cutting through Nina’s hysterics like a knife. She froze, her eyes wide and glistening with unshed tears.I turned to David. “Describe the wound.”His voice was clinical. “Deep, jagged marks consistent with wolf claws. Precise. Powerful. The kind of wound that speaks of intention, not random violence.”Nina’s face drained of color. “Last nig

    Scarlett“Enough!”“Open the door,” Beta David demanded, his voice cutting through my previous instruction with cold authority. He disregarded my command entirely, his tone brooking no argument.The guards snapped to attention, swiftly opening the door. In an instant, he was inside the cell with Jack. A low, menacing growl erupted from his throat as his fists began to fall.The violence erupted swiftly, a flurry of motion that left me gasping. I stood in shock as David relentlessly struck Jack, each blow more vicious than the previous.David’s eyes blazed with uncontrolled fury, his fists striking with a savage, unrelenting rhythm. Rage consumed him completely, stripping away any semblance of self-control.Each violent blow was a raw expression of pent-up anger. Months of suppressed emotion exploded in a single, brutal moment. His movements were primal, beyond reason, driven by a fury that had been building beneath the surface, now finally unleashed without mercy.Terror gripped me, f

    ScarlettThe corridor ahead was dimly lit by flickering torches, casting shadows on the stone walls.Every step I took echoed with the weight of unanswered questions. My thoughts churned, replaying the chaotic scene we’d just left behind.Sarah was dead. The reality gnawed at my mind, refusing to let go. Her lifeless eyes haunted me every time I closed my own. Who could have killed her? And why?Alisha walked silently beside me, her face etched with grief. I could feel the weight of her sorrow, a mirror of my own, as we made our way back toward the main hall.“Nina won’t forgive us for this,” Alisha murmured after a long stretch of silence.I stopped in my tracks, turning to face her. “She doesn’t have to forgive us,” I replied. “But we have to find out who killed Sarah. If Jack didn’t do it…” I hesitated, my voice faltering under the pressure of uncertainty. “Then someone else did. Someone who’s still out there.”Alisha nodded, her expression grim. “Beta David won’t stop until he gets

    ScarlettI turned to leave, but before I could make it to the door, a weak voice called out to me, stopping me in my tracks.“Scarlett…”The sound of my name from his lips sent a shiver down my spine. I froze, my hand hovering over the doorknob, unable to move forward or turn back.“Who… who are you leaving him for?” he rasped, his voice barely above a whisper, broken and raw with emotion.The world seemed to freeze in that moment. Time stood still as his question weighed heavily on my chest, making it difficult to breathe.Despite everything I had done; the violence, the threats against his mate; David still couldn’t accept my betrayal.His loyalty to Finn ran so deep that even now, bloodied and beaten, he clung to the belief that I couldn’t truly abandon my mate.I looked at David, at the man who had always stood by Finn’s side through every hardship, and something inside me cracked. This was the moment when my bridges would truly burn, when I would have to leave them both behind.I

    Scarlett“Sister, are you sure you are going to kill him?”It was her. It was a familiar and beloved voice that I could never forget, not in a thousand lifetimes.The sound froze me in my tracks, sending chills down my spine.I turned slowly, my heart hammering against my ribs, knowing exactly who stood behind me even before my eyes confirmed it.It was my sister, the one person who could see through my lies.“Alisha,” I whispered her name, the sound barely escaping my trembling lips. “Why are you here?”Her eyes, so like my own, searched my face, confusion and hurt swimming in their depths. “You want to kill my mate, sister?” she asked, stepping toward me with outstretched hands. I stumbled backward, my legs quivering beneath me, but I forced myself to stand firm.“Why?" Her voice trembled, on the verge of tears, cracking with emotion. The sound cut through me, adding to the pain in my already broken heart.Every fiber of my being screamed to reach for her, to pull her into my arms a

    ScarlettFive days. Five agonizing days since the Alpha King’s proposal had shattered my world.The pressure of his ultimatum pressed against my chest like a stone, making each breath a struggle.How could I possibly tell my people? The words stuck in my throat whenever I tried to form them. And Finn; my sweet, loyal Finn, how would he look at me if he knew the terrible price I had to pay for his life?The thought consumed me, crawling through my veins, stealing sleep from my nights and peace from my days. My beloved mate was dying, his strength fading with each passing hour. And I alone held the power to save him—at a cost that tore my heart in two.I paced the bedroom floor until my feet ached, the floorboards creaking beneath my restless steps. The Alpha King’s face haunted my thoughts—his cold smile, those piercing eyes that made my skin crawl.He wasn’t someone I could challenge or defy. The mere thought of confronting him made my hands tremble.Even if I mustered all my courage

    DicksonThere isn’t a single soul here. Not one. A place that was once bustling with rogues and outcasts has fallen deathly silent, mutated into a graveyard of memories and broken ambitions.The emptiness mocks me as I stand amid the ruins of my former glory. The bitter taste of regret floods my mouth as my thoughts drift to Scarlett—that woman who had seemed so insignificant, so easily controlled.If I had known she would become someone like this; this force of nature, this omen of destruction - I would have crushed her rebellion before it could take root.I would have held her down, broken her will, forced her to submit to my every command.By now, I would have been crowned Alpha King, with packs bowing before me instead of lying here, surrounded by the ashes of my mate and my dreams.“Who are you?” someone suddenly asked.My head snaps up, instincts instantly alert. I hadn’t detected anyone approaching—not a scent, not a sound, not even the subtle shift in air that usually betrays

    Dickson.“How DARE you!” Scar’s voice shattered the silence, her amber eyes flashing with such venomous rage. She spat her words, each one aiming directly at my heart.Her beautiful face contorted with disgust, transforming the woman I loved into someone I barely recognized. “If I had known you were such a pathetic, spineless FAILURE, do you honestly believe I would have bound myself to you? You worthless bastard.”“Scar, please, just listen—” My desperate plea withered under her furious glare.“SHUT UP!” she snarled. “I thought you were something special- something magnificent. A true Alpha with the strength to crush that goddamn pack beneath your heel.”Her lips curled back, revealing her canines. “But I was catastrophically wrong. You’re nothing but a coward hiding behind excuses.”She paused, drawing a ragged breath, the contempt rolling off her in waves. “I lie awake at night wondering how moon goddess could have made such a grievous error in allowing you to become an Alpha.” Her

    Leonardo“But...” A howl vibrated from deep within my chest, loud, raw and dangerous, making her freeze in place, fear flickering across her eyes.“Out!” I thundered, watching with savage satisfaction as they all scattered like terrified mice.I exhaled slowly, tension draining from my shoulders. These ants, always underfoot, always intruding.As she scurried away, I turned back to the mirror, straightening my cuffs.Now, it was time to meet my guest. The one I’d been waiting for.I walked as fast as my legs could carry me, finally reaching the throne room.“Here comes the king,” the guards announced. As they swung the doors open, my breath caught in my throat. I was awestruck by her beauty.Her aura pulsed with power, different and extraordinary in a way I’d never encountered. A possessive thought blazed through my mind: This woman must be mine.I forced myself to walk past her, even as my senses heightened to catch her scent, noting how she bowed her head in submission and respect.

    LeonardoThe clash of bodies and the sharp scent of blood reached my ears before the dust settled. From the high balcony of my palace, I watched as the woman tore through my guards like they were nothing but paper dolls.Interesting.The Crescent Pack’s Luna, Scarlett. I had heard much about her; an ordinary omega turned Alpha’s mate, a woman marked by both suffering and defiance.And now, here she was, standing amidst the fallen, her chest rising and falling with steady breaths, her hands bloodied but unwavering.She was not what I expected.I had anticipated someone broken by rejection, tamed by the harsh hand of fate. Instead, what I saw was fire. A warrior. A queen in her own right, even if she did not bear the title.Beside me, my Beta Giovanni shifted uncomfortably. “Should I intervene, my king?”I held up a hand, stopping him. “No. Let’s see what she does next.”Below, Scarlett stepped forward, her boots crunching against the dirt as she towered over the wounded guards. A slow

    Scarlett“Ray,” Seraiah muttered. “I believe she is Seraphina’s weaker version.”“What did you just say?” I asked, my voice barely a whisper. The world seemed to tilt beneath my feet as I struggled to process her words.My mind refused to accept what I was hearing, scrambling for any other explanation.“Are they joking? This can’t be real.” My thoughts raced frantically. “My Ray can never become something sinister like this.”Ray’s memories cascaded through me like a warm, familiar tide—her gentle presence when I needed comfort, her unwavering loyalty when everyone else had abandoned me.I remembered how she had nuzzled against me during those endless nights when darkness threatened to consume me. How her soft whimpers had somehow formed words of courage when I was drowning in despair. She had stayed beside me when no one else would even look my way.So how... how is it possible for her to be this wolf?“I guess you don’t understand what I’m saying,” Seraphina said. Her smug, superior

    ScarlettThe battlefield smelled of burnt flesh and blood; an intoxicating mixture of death and destruction.I stood in the center of it all, my hands still tingling with the lingering heat of my flames.The scent of the rogues’ burned remains filled my senses, but instead of loathing, I felt something else entirely.Satisfaction.I closed my eyes, inhaling deeply. My power, the thing that had been locked away for so long, now coursed through me like an untamed storm, crackling under my skin.When I opened my eyes again, I saw Finn watching me.His ocean-blue gaze was filled with something I couldn’t quite place, something between awe and… fear. The thought sent a strange thrill through me.I understood why he was behaving like this. He thought my power might have controlled me, consumed my soul, and that I might kill his people after dealing with all these rogues.But he was wrong. I am the sole owner of this power. I can easily control it now.“Fin—”“Watch out!” he screamed as he l
