**Author's POV**April sighed and waited for Scarlett to attack first and she did. Scarlett raised her sword and it clashed with hers.Even though she had to follow Cassandra's plans, she wasn't going to go easy on Scarlett first.All those apologies were fake. They were only a facade to get Scarlett to fight her and it worked. She despised the fact that Scarlett came out of nowhere and took her spotlight. She hated it to the core and it was slowly annoying her more and more.“Wow! You've improved.” She told Scarlett.Scarlett smiled. Even though their first meeting didn't go well, she was happy April had complimented her. She wished this one would bring the two of them closer and firm a great friendship, little did she know that April had other plans in stock for her.“Thanks. I've been training.” She replied and attacked April again. April knew it was time to carry out Cassandra's plans but was she really ready? She recalled everything Cassandra had told her but she was still havin
*Author's POV*Everyone was gathered outside the operating room.Scarlett couldn't stop crying, while Sandra consoled her, Xavier isn't even ready to listen to her or hear what she has to say, she's never seen him so angry before, she's just too lost for words and all she did was pray to the moon goddess that April gets well and shouldn't die."This is all Scarlett's fault! I knew she wanted to kill her, she did this on purpose!" One of the guys present said, he was among the people whom Cassandra had hired."What are you saying? You know Scarlett didn't mean to, they were only sparing and besides, April was meant to dodge the hit, why didn't she do that!" Sandra attacked."You're only siding with her because she's your friend and you're failing to see the truth. Well, one thing is for sure, we won't spare her if we loose on of our best warriors, after all, she's not even a member of this pack." Another said.Elora stood watching the whole thing that was happening, she didn't even utt
*Author's POV*Xavier's head was spinning at the moment, the guys were literally doing a protest right there and no matter what happens, he can't deny that they were right, but this is Scarlett that they are talking about here, the woman he loves so dearly, how is he suppose to ordered that she get flogged and then locked up, how is he suppose to do that.If he refuses then it's bound to raise so many questions among the people and Scarlett isn't even a member of their pack yet.Elora smirked in satisfaction, this is going even better than she thought, now with Scarlett out of the way, she'll use the opportunity to get close to Xavier, after all, no man could possibly refuse a beauty like her.Scarlett looked at Xavier, she could tell he was going through a lot at the moment, deciding if he should listen to the voice of the people or not.Xavier has done so much for her since she came to this pack, and she wouldn't want him to battle with his own people because of her, she owes him so
*Author's POV*Elora ran into their bedroom in excitement, she instantly jumped on the bed and screamed in delight.Michael who was in the shower at that time ran out with a towel wrapped around his waist to inquire what has happened."What happened Elora? Why did you scream like that?" He asked.Elora sighed, then she stood up, she saw how hot Michael was in just that towel wrapped around his waist and she couldn't take her eyes off him, it's been a while they've both had sex and seeing him like this made her forget all about Scarlett and what she wants to do was get him to fuck her.Michael noticed how she was staring at him and he scoffed softly. "What?" He asked.Elora rolled her eyes at him. "You're asking like you don't know what I want." She bit her bottom lip seductively.Michael wanted to refuse her but when she slowly undressed herself, his senses got clouded and his dick got hard at the sight of her luscious body.He instantly took off his towel and threw it on the floor, h
**Author's POV**“Ouch!” I winced in pain when the guards threw me into the dungeon and I landed on her butt.“That isn't enough. Tonight, you're going to get the worst punishment of your life.” A guard spat and walked out.The second one simply glared at me while following the other one out too.She couldn't stop my tears from falling freely. Things were falling apart at every minute and she didn't know what to do. She knew it was a mistake and was going to get punished for it. She had no choice anyway. It was better than putting Xavier in a tight spot.She would just accept the punishment wholeheartedly and hope April wouldn't die because that would make her a murderer and she would rather die than be called a murderer.Sandra sat down near a tree sobbing. Arnold traced her scent and when he saw her, his heart broke. He quickly rushed to her and crouched down then took her hands in his.When Sandra saw him, she burst into tears and hugged him.“There, there.” He cooed, rubbing her b
**Author's POV**“Are you serious right now?” Xavier asked with his eyes widened a bit. Even though Scarlett's pack had hurt her, he wasn't sure whether she would be ready to denounce them just night and all for what? A little mistake?“I know what I'm saying, Xavier. That is the only thing that can save her from their clutches because they're very well prepared to deal with her.” Arnold said.Xavier sighed. He knew he had no choice in this but he would have to call a council meeting and discuss it with the elders to make it official.“I'll do that but I need to speak with the elders of the pack.” He said and Arnold nodded.“That's no problem. We can go together because I don't want that innocent lady to get punished for something she knows absolutely nothing about and even if she did, it was by mistake.” Arnold said and packed the first aid box he had used to clean Xavier's wounds.Xavier sighed and glanced at his hand. If only Arnold had not come in, he would have hurt himself a mil
**Author's POV**Michael couldn't believe his ears. What in the world?“Elora, are you serious or this is one of your numerous jokes?” He asked and Elora scoffed.“Why would you think I'd joke with something as serious as this? I'm telling you the plain truth here. Scarlett is about to denounce our pack. What I expected from you was to swing into action immediately but instead you're here asking stupid questions,” She frowned and folded her arms.Michael was shocked and angry at the same time. He knew Scarlett wasn't going to think twice before accepting their offer and he mustn't let that happen. He can't afford to lose her, not when he now feels something for her.Elora was bent on poisoning his mind as much as possible. “You can't let that happen, Michael. If that happens, you would have no control over Scarlett and worse, we won't be able to convince her to come with us to the pack. You must challenge Alpha Xavier and stop him before things get out of hand because I know Scarlett
*Author's POV*"What do you want?" Xavier asked grumpily."You do know that Scarlett is still my mate right and she's still a member of my pack which still makes me her Alpha." Xavier frowned, wondering where he was going to with this conversation."Cut to the chase please, I've got something important to do.""Oh. Something like trying to get Scarlett to denounce her pack!" Michael half yelled.Xavier sighed, now he know what this is all about, Michael must have heard about what he wanted to do, but how's that even possible, the only people present were the elders, he and Arnold, so how did the news get out.Anyways, that was the least of his problems, he's simply not going to let Michael stop him because he knows that's what he's going to try to do."I don't know if you've heard about what happened, but this is the only way to get Scarlett out of this mess." "No, this is not the only way." Michael said."What do you mean?" Xavier frowned."Give her back to me, release her and A al
CHAPTER 208-Epilogue ***Scarlett's POV*** Five months had passed and I hadn't been so happy as I was now, it was like a dream come true for me. I was finally pregnant with the future Alpha, yes you heard me. I was expecting a girl but was given a boy, a strong male wolf. I dreamt about it. He was handsome and a replica of my Xavier. I smiled as I rubbed my baby bump, my stomach was quite bloated, it looked like I was going to deliver at any minute because my stomach was so big. I chuckled at my thoughts and I had the sudden urge to eat. "I'm hungry" I mouthed and stared down at my big baby bump. "Did anyone mention food?" I heard Xavier's voice and couldn't stop myself from laughing. These few months have been so much fun and enjoyment, Xavier wasn't just different but funnier. He did a lot of things to make me laugh, it was evident that he loved his child very much. " I did" I snickered and looked at him, he was holding a tray in his hand. I frown in disagreement, thi
CHAPTER 207 ***Scarlett's POV***Two months later.I could hear voices everyday, though I tried to move and respond but it was hard for me and I didn't know why. I heard Xavier's voice and he always had a sad tone, telling me to wake up but I tried to tell him that I couldn't but it was impossible to talk or move. Moved my limbs in my head but I couldn't move them physically, it was all in my head. I didn't feel any pain on my body, I just felt numb or rather dead. "She has not woken up, it's been two fucking months and she hasn't responded to anything" I heard Xavier's voice, he sounded like he was sobbing. 'Don't cry, I will try harder to open my eyes' "What If she stays like this forever, what's going to happen to us, our lives?" Xavier broke into tears. "She's going to wake up and it will happen soon, fretting won't help anyone" Arnold replied and patted his shoulder loudly. "Scarlett is a fighter, she would get out of this" I couldn't hear anything else except footsteps.
***Author's POV***Scarlett vomited the little she had eaten, it left her stomach empty. The door suddenly opened and she flushed. "Hey" Xavier called softly and held both sides of her waist. "Are you okay?" Scarlett moved closer to the sink and washed her face. "I don't know" She slightly shrugged and faced him with a little expression of discomfort on her face. "Should I call the doctors?" "N-no need for you to do that, I think it's the junk I have been eating for the past weeks' ' Scarlett sighed and her lips curled into a smile. "I know that look, stop feeling guilty because I am fine and we will soon be happy without any obstacles, without Cassandra" The mention of her name made Scarlett extremely nervous especially when it came from her own mouth, it made her lips tremble, she shouldn't feel afraid but Cassandra scares her, but she can hear the voice of her wolf telling her, she would be victorious. "I feel more nauseous being in here" Scarlett frowned slightly as she fel
***Author's POV***Cassandra spouted out blood but she instantly vanished. Lisa and Scarlett were shocked. Xavier's wolf growled and stared at his fangs, the blood had totally vanished as well. Xavier turned to stare at Scarlett who simply smiled at his wolf. 'I am sorry for all I did to you, forgive me' He apologised through the mind link. 'You didn't do anything wrong, you were just blinded by your rage because you thought I had betrayed you' Scarlett responded and smiled at his wolf. Lisa stared at both of them and knew the lovers were communicating through mind links. "Alright, I don't know where Cassandra must have gone but I have to find Jamie… I will leave you both" Lisa giggled and left from there. *****Lisa went to the garden and his scent was stronger showing that he is near. "Jamie" Lisa smiled, Jamie faced her and spread his arms. Lisa chuckled and ran into his arms. He wrapped his hands around her and hugged her tightly. "How did it go in there?" Jamie asked wi
***Author's POV***"Lisa…" "Is it really you?" Scarlett asked because she was shocked to see her. "Yes it's me, your baby Lisa" Lisa smiled with teary eyes. "Lisa" Scarlett cried and they embraced tightly. "Lisa, where have you been?" "It's a long story" Lisa muttered and tightened the hug, she missed Scarlett a whole lot. Scarlett didn't stop asking her questions, they decided to settle down on the ground and talk about everything. Scarlett asked Lisa about her whereabouts and the revelation shocked her. "W–what are you saying?" Scarlett stuttered in shock. "I'm telling the truth, that woman isn't Elora, I think she is Cassandra because that name was inscribed on her sword… " Scarlett's eyes widened the more in shock, a loud gasp escaped from her lips. She had to cover her mouth with her palms. "She stabbed me with a sword when I found out about her true identity, I almost died but my mate saved me" Lisa explained and smiled while recalling Jamie. Scarlett wanted to ask ab
***Author's POV***Scarlett held her head in pain, she had this headache that was stopping her from opening her eyes, the cold she felt on her skin was making her shudder and become reluctant to see the new and awful world which she was back in. Scarlett inhaled and exhaled sharply, slowly and steadily she opened her eyes but it looked like she was still stuck in darkness, there was nothing visible to her apart from the darkness, it looked so thick like she could cut out a piece of it. It was like a dark cloud which she was entrapped in."Where am I?" Scarlett asked herself and gazed around the thick and dark room. She attempted standing but to her realisation, she's in chains not just any chain but silver, she could now feel the metal burning through her skin, it was scorching. Scarlett couldn't help but scream out of her unconscious state. "Aaahh!!!" Scarlett screamed and sat up instantly, she was breathing heavily. Her heart was thumping within her chest. Scarlett stared at he
***Author's POV***Cassandra teleported to the front of Xavier's sturdy, she could hear him destroying things inside. She bit her bottom lip, imagining him being sweaty and sexily angry, that would be fun to see. She smiled at herself, her plans were going so smoothly and according to plan, she believed that nothing could stop her now, not love or death could be an obstruction to her victory. Who could have thought that the sweetest couple would be fighting and be at each other's throats?, except that it's Scarlett's throat that's going to be slit in the process. Cassandra exhaled and knocked softly on the door. "Leave, I don't want to see anybody!!!" He growled loudly from the sturdy. Cassandra rolled her eyes and lazily opened the door then walked in. "Were you deaf when I said–" His words were cut short when he saw her, he folded his fist and snarled. "What are you doing here?If you are here to convince me about your friend then you have chosen the wrong timing!" Xavier yel
***Author's POV***"No!!!" "Xavier don't do this, I beg you" Scarlett cried loudly. She could never take being rejected for the second time, it would be the end of her, the mere thought of it could kill her. She wouldn't be able to take the pain and rejection. Xavier didn't complete his statement, he didn't know why he still wanted to believe her or why her tears still had that sort of effect on him but he knew that he could neither kill her nor reject her because he loved her too much. "P–please, don't reject me, you have got to believe me" Scarlett sobbed and crawled her way to his feet. "You've got to believe me that I would never betray you" Scarlett cried and wanted to hold his leg but he moved back. "I saw you with him, I saw you both naked on our matrimonial bed and he was sucking your fucking nipple or are you going to deny that too!" Xavier yelled. Scarlett burst into louder tears "I don't know what came over me, I swear it, Xavier I had no idea" "Was it the sex?Don't
***Author's POV***Xavier felt his heart break into a million pieces as he stared at his naked mate and his guard, it was like thousands of knives stabbed his heart at the same time. Xavier blinked repeatedly hoping that it was a dream and that this was one of his nightmares but reality dawned on him that it was far from illusions or a dream, this was stark reality. Scarlett was cheating on him,this is what she does when he travels or when he isn't around, is it the sex?, doesn't he give her enough of that. Scarlett and the guard looked at Xavier and immediately Scarlett's eyes met with Xavier's, the spell instantly faded from her being. "Aah" Scarlett gasped in shock of what she was doing, this wasn't her doing. She would never ever cheat on Xavier. "Xavier" Scarlett mutters with trembling lips. her heart is racing with her chest as she realises her unknown deeds. Tears fell out of Xavier's eyes staring at them, his wolf stirred with anger inside him, his eyes instantly changed
