**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
