**Cassandra's POV**I coughed loudly as I laid curled up on the cold marble floor of the dungeon that I’d been chained to for days. Every movement made me feel the sharp sting that shot through my ribs every time, and even though it wasn't a physical pain, it was still incredibly painful. I have tried all manner of ways to escape but they were fruitless. No matter how hard I tried, the iron cuffs remained in place around my wrists with no end in sight. I could barely move because of the heavy weight and the excruciatingly tightness of the chains binding me to the floor. My legs were so stiff that I couldn't bend them at all without feeling like I might die from the pain. And since there seemed to be no way out other than this, I had resigned myself to waiting.I would have gone out if my powers had worked but I've been deprived of food for days, making me weak and my powers useless. Everything had happened so fast that I didn't know what to think.When Xavier caught me trying to kill
**Author's POV**"She's fit to be discharged now, Alpha. Although the poison has gone, I'll come and check on her from time to time to make sure she's perfectly fine." Doctor Blake told Xavier and his joy knew no bounds.He was happy to finally have Scarlett back. He had missed her, he had needed her, he had thought about her every single moment in the last three years. The love he felt for her was stronger than anything he could ever comprehend, it made him feel lightheaded whenever she smiled at him. It also made him feel guilty, like he was a creep, a pervert that looked too long at her perfect white teeth, or the way the sunlight hit them just right, highlighting her flawless face in gold. His wolf nature was raging to have her all to himself again."Thanks, doctor." He smiled and held Scarlett's hands as he took her home. Scarlett was happy to leave the hospital. She had been bored as fuck there , with nothing really to do apart from get a bit of exercise every day, walk around f
*Author's POV*"At least hear me out." Scarlett sighed."No, I don't want to hear whatever plan it is you have to say, as long as it requires you going to that pack then you won't be getting my approval." Xavier said firmly."But—""No buts Scarlett, I've said what I want to and this conversation is over, please don't ever bring it up again, you haven't fully recovered and you want to risk your life again." He angrily got down from the bed."I'm doing this for you, for the pack." Scarlett tried to reason with him."You don't have to do anything Scarlett, this pack isn't weak and we'll always be ready for Michael, if you want to help I and the pack, then your duty is to rest and heal properly." He stated.Xavier went to the closet to grab some clothes, he hastily put them on, then he left the room.Scarlett could only watch him leave, she didn't even know what to do because at that moment, she knew he won't even listen to anything she has to say.Scarlett knew she needed to talk to som
*Author's POV*Scarlett walked back home feeling a bit relieved, after much persuasion and pleadings, Arnold promised to help her talk to Xavier despite the fact that he also wasn't okay with the idea and Sandra too. Sandra did try talking her out of this but her mind was already made up and there's no turning back now.She keeps thinking of what she's going to do if Xavier eventually refuses to let her go, she didn't know if she's still going to push through with her plans or just give in to him, but how can she sit still and let a murderer like Michael roam freely, he's become the devil himself and only God knows how he's handling the pack now.She was worried sick about the well being of the people in his pack and she knew she had to do something, otherwise everything will be in vain, including Elora's sacrifice.Her mind was so occupied that she wasn't looking at where she was going, she even failed to see the rock lying on the floor, she stumbled on it and was about falling when
**Author's POV**Scarlett got to the room and paced around, thinking of how to get Xavier's attention. He was still mad at her and she knew it. "What do I do? What should I do?" She repeated as she paced around the room. She couldn't stand Xavier being upset with her.She was only looking out for the pack. Someone had to put Michael in his place and the only person to pave the way was her. Michael was still interested in her, that she knew, so it'd be good if she used that as an opportunity to gather information about him. He wouldn't dare to hurt her because he still loved her.She sighed and sat on the bed.****"What the shit are you saying? I can't believe this!" Xavier snapped as he slammed the papers in his hands on the table while he glared at Arnold angrily.Arnold sighed. He knew this wasn't a good idea. "I don't think he's going to hurt her,""That's not the point, Arnold. She hasn't fully recovered and she wants to go to Michael's pack. Remember, he once loved Elora before
*Author's POV*Scarlett laid on the bed with her legs opened wide, she looked at Xavier with a mischievous smirk on her lips.Xavier couldn't resist a temptation like her, her hurriedly began taking off his clothes , one after the other. When he had finished removing all of his clothing and climbed onto the bed, Scarlet sat up and pulled him closer, until their faces were only inches apart. She ran a finger down his jawline, making sure to touch every inch of his body in a sensual manner.“Scarlet…” Xavier panted, as his eyes locked onto her mesmerizing brown ones. “I’m not done with you yet…” he murmured softly, before kissing her passionately.They kissed hungrily for awhile. They had never been able to keep their hands off each other for very long, and now was no exception. Xavier pulled Scarlet on top of him, and she straddled him completely, allowing his erection to press against her stomach. Their tongues battled for dominance, as they kissed with renewed vigor.Scarlet moaned w
**Author's POV**"Now that I have your attention, I need to ask you for a favor." Scarlett said and Xavier sighed."If it's about going to meet Michael, I won't approve it, Scarlett." He said."Xavier, listen to me first. Michael can't hurt me." She muttered."Why are you talking as if you don't know the kind of person that monster is?" Xavier asked."Just listen to me. Michael still wants me and if I should return, claiming that you hurt me and I want him back, he will gladly accept me. He needs me as his Luna and won't risk the chance by killing me," She said and Xavier became quiet. "We can use that and get him." "But I'm worried.""You don't have to worry. Trust me and I'll prove your innocence. I'll make him admit killing Elora and take the matter to the council of elders. I know my way around there. I won't get caught and when this is over, I'll return to you. I promise." She said and Xavier sighed."Alright but if anything should happen, don't hesitate to mindlink me, okay?"
**Author's POV**“Tell her to wait in the throne room, I'll be there with her.” He said and the guard bowed before leaving.He looked at the girl on the bed. One glance her way and she knew what he meant. She quickly got down from the bed and wore her clothes before leaving the room.Michael paced around the room, wondering what Scarlett could possibly be doing there. If she was here then there was something she definitely wanted to tell him or wanted from him. He quickly rushed to the bathroom, took his bath and wore his best clothes. After that, he checked himself out in the mirror, styled his hair and walked out.When he got to the throne room, he exhaled before opening the door. And there she was, still as beautiful as he thought she would be, her red hair cascaded down her back in waves and since he could only see the side of her face, he walked forward to get a better look but why was she with her backpack? He wondered.Scarlett noticed his presence in the room and turned to loo
