**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
*Author's POV*Arnold and Sandra both sat in the living room watching Xavier pace around, he's been doing that ever since they returned and to make him feel less lonely, they both decided to spend some time with him knowing that Scarlett's departure is really going to take a toll on him. But they're both beginning to regret it because Xavier pacing around is starting to give them a headache.Arnold couldn't hold it in anymore and so he decides to speak out. "Why don't you just relax and take a seat Xavier, it hasn't been up to 5 hours since she left and you're like this!" He groaned out in frustration.Sandra nodded in support."Well what do you expect me to do? I'm starting to regret giving in in the first place.""Well it's obviously too late to do that." Arnold stated."I think you should relax, Scarlett will be fine, you should trust her." Sandra added.Xavier sighed deeply, then he went to sit. "I know and I trust her completely. The one I don't trust is that jerk Michael." He se
*Author's POV*After the talk with Michael, Scarlett decides to take a stroll around the house, not much seems different from when she left, it almost looked the same as when she left.Her mind was preoccupied with a lot of things and one of those things was getting Michael's confession and how to go about it.She was still in thought when she bumped into someone."Oh I'm so sorry." Scarlett apologized."It's fine." Lisa replied, she frowned a little when she saw Scarlett, the face looked familiar.Scarlett noticed how she was staring at her. "Do you know me?" She asked, snapping Lisa out of her thoughts."Oh, I'm so sorry, you kind of look familiar so I'm trying to remember where I've seen you."Scarlett smiled. "The name's Scarlett. Scarlett Paige."Lisa's eyes widen with realization. "I knew I've seen you somewhere before, but that was a long time ago, you're Elora's friend."Scarlett nodded. ''I am.''"I'm Lisa, a maid here, you know I didn't think you'll ever return, words have i
*Author's POV*Cassandra groaned as she managed to sit up, today was the only day Xavier allowed her to be given food and water, according to him, he didn't want her to die yet.She's been stuck in this place for only God knows how long and she's getting sick of it, the lack of food and water has truly made her weak and rendered her magic useless because she was too weak to even use it.She noticed the guard staring at her and it made her feel irritated, she wouldn't have hesitated to pluck out his eyes had she not been in such a state, she's been noticing how he's been staring at her lately, those lustful look in his eyes didn't escape her eyes and she just hopes he doesn't try anything stupid."It'll do us both good if you look away." She managed to say.The guard then scoffed loudly. "You aren't even in a position to talk so just shut it you witch!'' He snapped.Cassandra bit her bottom lip in rage, she glared dangerously at him, feeling the urge to stab his heart."Look at you gla
**Author's POV**Cassandra suddenly felt a pang of anger course through her veins. How dare that scumbag take advantage of her like that? She wasn't someone to be reckoned with. She was a scarlet witch and taking advantage of people was her specialty. He should be the one at her mercy and not the other way round.As she looked at the guard, her anger grew. He turned to look at her and laughed out loud. He would surely have his way with her next time.“Oh, there won't be a next time because I'm going to crush you.” Cassandra muttered as her eyes suddenly snapped open, glowing a dark shade of scarlet red.The guard turned and looked at her. “Hey, don't you dare look at me like that. I might just pluck your eyes out.” He threatened and she scoffed.“You'll pay for taking advantage of me. You all will pay for putting me here!” She yelled and the dungeon shook.She had no idea where the sudden strength came from but she was able to stand on her feet. She glared dangerously at the guard, wh
Author's POV. . It's been seven months after the marriage and mating between the Alpha and Luna, Scarlett had been gladly accepted by the people as their Luna, for the past months, she had been able to make a stark difference in the entire pack, in relations to the pack affairs, school, agriculture and even in wars, she had been of great support to Xavier, they have not had any problems or enemies that they couldn't defeat, their love kept growing stronger and intense each day. Scarlett jolted out of her sleep and flung her eyes open. "What the f–" Scarlett gasped and hit his shoulder playfully, Xavier laughed at her shocked and funny looking angry expression. "Do you think it is funny!, why were you watching me like that, it gets more creepy everyday" Scarlett pouted her lips, even though she loved it when he watched her sleep and his face was the first thing every morning to graze her sight but it was shocking at times, romantically shocking though. Xavie
Author's POV. "You know what Lisa?" "Hm" Lisa responded with and jerked out of her ungodly thoughts. "Sometimes, I'm scared about how smoothly everything is going between Xavier and I, we hardly fight or have any disagreement, he is this sweet prince charming that makes me happy every day but then…" Scarlett trailed off. She wasn't unhappy about the peaceful life they were relishing but it wed strange to live such a mirthful life, her life had always been full of complications, therefore when there was foovmyvh tranquility, she was always at suspicious. "But, what Luna?"Scarlett wanted to correct her about calling her Luna but she didn't have the strength to. She hadn't gotten used to the title yet but she would do anything to defend her peck and her family especially Xavier, he meant the world to her. " But, I am just not a peace inside not like I love problems or chaos but ehrn things are going to smooth on both your life and those around you, it seems strange, even our frien
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
