Scarlett

The 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

What about what she went through because of her sister! Why is she so gullible! And why can’t she sense Jack is more than just a warrior- where is her husband?

    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

    JackPain. Raw, throbbing pain consumed every inch of my body. Each breath felt like fire in my lungs, and the metallic taste of blood lingered in my mouth. The cold floor of my cell provided little comfort as I lay there, trying to piece together the nightmare my life had become.Beta David’s assault played through my mind in fragmented flashes. The fury in his eyes, the relentless strikes, the way his control had completely shattered. I’d seen rage before, but this... this was something else entirely. This was personal – the beating of a man they all believed to be a murderer.Nina’s screams still echoed in my ears. The sight of her tears, the feeling of her gentle touch as she wiped blood from my face – it tore at something deep inside me. She shouldn’t have defended me like that. Shouldn’t have put herself at risk. The sound of her being dragged away haunted me more than any physical pain could.I shifted slightly, testing my injuries. A sharp stab of pain shot through my ribs. Def

    JackThe scent of Nina’s blood filled my nostrils, threatening to overwhelm my senses. Her body lay limp before me, and for a moment, something inside me wavered.The memory of her smile, her laughter, the way she used to look at me with those bright eyes. It all crashed through my mind like a sinuous wave.But then I remembered her betrayal, the night she tried to end my life, and my will hardened once more.“Take her to the cells,” I ordered, my voice rough with suppressed emotion.Two pack members immediately moved forward, lifting her unconscious form. Blood dripped from her wounds, leaving a trail across the stone floor.Mother stood beside me, her presence both comforting and suffocating. “You did well, my son,” she said, placing a hand on my shoulder. “She needed to learn her lesson.”I nodded, but the words felt hollow. The pack members’ excited murmurs filled the room, their bloodlust still palpable in the air.They had enjoyed the spectacle, reveled in Nina’s pain. Part of m

    NinaI couldn’t contain my scream as the pain tore through me.“That’s more like it,” Jack murmured, satisfaction darkening his features. “Now tell me, Nina. Was it worth it?”Tears blurred my vision, but I lifted my chin, forcing a smirk onto my lips despite the agony. “You tell me, Jack. Does this make you feel powerful?” I let out a shaky breath, my voice dripping with mockery. “Or does it remind you that you once loved me?”“Really?” His smirk turned cruel as he plunged the silver blade deep into my chest, stopping just short of a fatal wound. My scream echoed off the walls, raw and primordial. The pack’s cheers rose around us like a grotesque chorus, celebrating my torment.“Scream more,” he snarled, twisting the silver deeper. My body obeyed, another agonized cry ripping from my throat. This pain was beyond anything I could contain, beyond anything I could fight.“It hurts so much. Please.”“Tell me, why did you choose to hurt me despite how much I loved you, Nina? Why did you c

    NinaWeeks crawled by in silence, each day without a word from Jack leaving me weaker. The guards’ sporadic meals – mere scraps twice a week – barely kept me alive. My body had become a hollow shell of what it once was.I huddled in the corner, gnawing absently at my fingertips when footsteps echoed down the corridor. I didn’t bother looking up, expecting another cold-faced guard.But then his scent hit me – that familiar, intoxicating aroma that made my mouth water. I raised my head to find Jack looming over me, his face twisted with contempt.I scrambled to my feet, my heart surging with a desperate joy. Something stirred deep within me, electric and primal, awakening every dormant cell in my body. The wolf inside me howled in recognition. I felt alive.“Jack,” I breathed. “Is it really you?”“Does seeing me make you this happy?” His voice was ice.“Yes,” I whispered, drawing closer. “I’ve missed you so much, honey.”His eyes blazed with such fury that I staggered back. This wasn’t

    NinaThe cold stone walls of my cell seem to close in with each passing hour. How long have I been here? Days? Weeks?Time bleeds together in this darkness, broken only by the dim light filtering through the tiny window near the ceiling.My hands trace the rough surface of the wall, fingers catching on jagged edges, a sensation that’s become almost comforting in its familiarity.Jack. His name burns in my mind like acid. He should be dead. He should be rotting in the ground by now, not walking around, breathing, living. I did everything perfectly.The poison was untraceable, so much so that even the most thorough autopsy wouldn’t have detected it.I watched him drink it, watched the bottle empty as he swallowed every last drop. I remember fighting to keep my expression neutral, to stop the satisfaction from showing on my face as he thanked me for “taking care of him.”A bitter laugh escapes my throat, echoing off the walls. Taking care of him, oh, I took care of him alright. Or at lea

    DianaThe walk to the main hall felt like an eternity, each step bringing us closer to the moment I’d been waiting for.Jack walked beside me, his presence steady and strong, while my husband followed close behind.The whispers of servants and guards echoed through the corridors, spreading news of Nina’s arrival like wildfire through the pack.The alpha had already announced before her arrival that everyone should make her life a living hell for attempting to kill their beta, but they were strictly forbidden from taking her life.When we entered the main hall, I saw her standing there; her posture straight and proud despite being surrounded by our guards.For a split second, I caught the flash of shock in her eyes when she saw Jack, alive and well, before she quickly masked it.My wolf snarled beneath my skin. She thought she could fool us again, playing the role of the innocent mate. I watched as she made herself appear smaller, more fragile, her eyes wide with pretended concern.“Ja

    DianaThe moment those words left my husband’s lips, my world shattered all over again.Lucy.My sweet, brave Lucy.The truth of her death hit me so hard that, suddenly, I was transported back in time, to when we were young, and the world seemed full of possibility despite its cruelties. I was just a low pack member until I met her.I remember the first time I saw her as if it were yesterday. I was sixteen, the awkward daughter of a low-ranking pack member, always an easy target for the others.That day, a group of girls had cornered me behind the pack school, their taunts cutting deeper than I had imagined.They weren’t just bullies – they were architects of misery, experts at finding the hairline cracks in someone’s confidence and splitting them wide open. Their wickedness went beyond simple meanness.“Look at her! Can’t even shift properly yet. What kind of wolf are you?”“My grandmother shifts faster than you, and she’s practically dead!”Their laughter rang in my ears as I presse

    JackMy breath came in short, sharp gasps.“She is Jack’s mate.”The words echoed in my head over and over, like a cruel joke the universe had played on me. My mate. Nina.My stomach twisted violently. My hands trembled as I clutched the letter, crumpling the edges, but I couldn’t loosen my grip. My lungs burned like I was drowning, yet no matter how hard I gasped for air, I couldn’t breathe.This wasn’t real. It couldn’t be real.But the truth stared back at me from the inked words on the page, clear and undeniable.I felt Alex’s eyes boring into me, his shock a tangible thing between us. He wasn’t the only one. Lucas stood frozen, his face locked in a mask of unreadable emotion.The silence was unbearable.Then Alex scoffed, a sharp, disbelieving laugh that made my skin prickle. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.”I wanted to agree with him. I wanted to tear this letter apart, throw it into the fire, and erase this moment from existence.But fate had already decided for me.“Jack

    JackI quickly left, leaving Alex alone with him. My heart pounded as I searched the grounds until my gaze landed on Scar, and the sight knocked the breath from my lungs. The woman before me was unrecognizable, a ghost of her former glory.The designer clothes she once wore with such pride now hung in tatters from her skeletal frame, like flags surrendered to decay. Her hair, which used to cascade in glossy waves, had become a matted mess the color of dead leaves.But it was her eyes that haunted me the most. Those eyes that once flashed with wit and confidence were now hollow caves ringed by exhaustion’s purple bruises.Her skin, sallow and lined, told stories of endless nights spent running from demons I had helped create.“Scar,” I called softly, taking a hesitant step forward. Her gaze fell on me.The raw emotion in her gaze hit me hard. Hurt, hatred, and revulsion churning together in a toxic brew.I understood every ounce of her contempt, but I prayed she might find it in her he

    Jack“How can that be?” The words escaped me in a whisper. “She can’t do that.”“She can’t do what?” Mother leaned forward, concern etching her features. “Tell me, speak up, son.”I forced a smile, though my eyes caught my father’s furious gaze. “Nothing, Mother.” Then, turning to Dad, I added, “I can’t remember anything.” The lie tasted bitter. I refused to believe my mate could do something vile like that.She wasn’t capable of such things. There had to be another explanation – perhaps the maids in that wretched pack had manipulated her, handed her poison while claiming it was medicine for my wounds.I could feel my father’s heated gaze on me as it burned into my skin. I knew he saw through my deception. I knew he didn’t trust a single word I spoke. But it didn’t matter. For Nina, I would endure anything.“I understand,” he finally said, his voice heavy with judgment. “Sooner or later, you will get to know the real her.” Without another word, he strode out of the room.Mother’s gent
