“Heyy Scarlett come on, stop being such a kill joy and get your ass ready!” My friend, Elora cooed playfully from the doorframe. I smiled, ignoring the tapping noises she made with her shoes against the wooden door frame.“I’ve not applied mascara yet!” I cried, hurriedly applying a strawberry lip gloss on my dry full lips.“You know you don’t need them right?” She said eying me up and down, “Your lashes are unnaturally long, they’ll still look pretty without mascara.” Shaking my head at her failed attempt at flattery, I applied the almost dried out mascara on my eyelashes and tied my wild ginger red hair into a messy bun.“Let’s go now,” She drawled pulling at my arm. “I don’t want to have to stand at the furthest corner of the hall. The prince could be my mate!” She said chuckling. Her silly statement made me burst out in fits of laughter because we both knew it was something that wouldn’t happen.Allowing her drag me along the almost deserted corridor, I quickly tagged along behin
The once excited atmosphere suddenly turned chaotic as people began running for their dear lives. Most people from my clan immediately shape shifted to turn into their wolves; but I couldn’t. I couldn’t even force myself to for I was phobo phobic. Anguished screams filled the air as a few members of my pack were attacked and slain, and vice versa. What the hell was happening?I suddenly couldn’t find Elora anymore and I needed to get to safety quickly; going down on my knees, I quickly crawled in all fours until I got into a quiet dark corner which I laid in until most of the noise had subsided a few hours later.“Scarlett! Scarlett!” I heard Elora’s fearful screams from a distance. With my body shaking in fear, I got up from my corner and ran towards her to engulf her in a warm hug.“I was so worried about you,” she said quietly; wrapping her arms around me. I snuggled into her warm embrace, sniffed and whispered,“What happened?” I listened quietly as she tried to quickly explain t
The tears kept falling even as I ran to the little bunker I called my home. I couldn’t believe Elora could betray me like this. I wouldn’t even have thought of her ever betraying me. Just yesterday she was the sweetest, nicest person I knew; and today she acted almost as if I was somebody she had never known.Discarding the lunchbox I had on with me earlier, on my tabletop, I slumped on my bed, my heart lurching in my chest. Even my wolf was too hurt, she couldn’t even speak.“Why?!” I screamed to no one in particular. I couldn’t bear this pain. It felt like a thousand shards of silver were jutting out of several angles in my heart; reveling on and on in the pain of rejection, I cried myself to sleep, I had no one else to turn to…***I begrudgingly peeled my swollen eyes open a few hours later when a muffled noise at my doorstep woke me up. Splashing cold water against my sore eyes, I got up and walked to the door.“Hi wh—” but my words sucked up in my throat when I noticed an army o
“She’s still alive!” A voice yelled snapping me out of my reverie.“Let’s leave her there, she could be an enemy!” Another, more cautious one replied.“I do not think she works for anyone! Can’t you smell her? She smells like a rogue!” The first one snapped almost indignantly at the second but that didn’t stop the second from voicing out his fears.“You don’t know the extent these people take to disguise themselves,” He grumbled. “I won’t be shocked if her people intentionally made her rogue just to make her seem alone.”“Okay fine let’s just save her first. When she becomes stable, we’ll take her to our Alpha. If she’s a spy, he would find out himself.” The first one answered.“Yeah, he’d torture answers out of her like he did to his mate until she died,” the second replied with a laugh. I knew the person they talked about was me; but I felt too weak to voice out my opinion.I simply let them pull me up from the cold wet grass I had laid in like for forever and dump me in an old rust
I shook with fear as a large scissor was tossed into the Alpha’s rough palm by a bulky bodyguard who stood behind him.“Alpha, she might die if tortured; she’s still too unstable to be interrogated!” The doctor said stubbornly, trying to stand in between the arrogant Alpha and myself. “If you want your tiny tongue in my dinner tonight, stand in my way!” The Alpha yelled. I quietly watched how the doctor suddenly looked deflated in an instant; like the fight had been drained out of him. “Everyone, leave us alone!” He yelled at the doctor and the guard behind him. At his command, they both scurried away, throwing pitiful looks my way.After they had left and shut the door behind us, the Alpha immediately pulled out the IV set from my arm with a force that shook my veins a little.“I swear, I am Scarlett. Scarlett Paige!” I screamed even before he would lay a finger on me. He turned to look me dead in the eye and proceeded to pressing down hard on my thigh, on an injury that was takin
**Scarlett’s POV**I stood there, rooted to the spot with my stomach pressed against the hospital bed as he plunged into me continuously with precise thrusts. My head reeled, my vision blurred and my legs were fast turning into jelly, but he didn’t stop. To worsen matters, he forbade me from making any sounds in order to prevent the people outside the door from knowing what was happening inside the room. A few minutes into the sex, an inexplicable burst of orgasm wracked my body which made my eyes well up with tears. I fell limply against the bed.“Kneel.” He said suddenly, making me go down on my wobbly knees slowly. As soon as I had knelt before him, he grabbed my head by my hair and inserted his big erection into my mouth, making me gag slightly.I was still finding it quite difficult to accommodate his manhood in my mouth when he started moving. At first he began slowly, only to pick up pace a few minutes later. Black dots danced in my line of vision when his thrusts became fast
**Scarlett’s POV**“What are you doing there?!” He snarled venomously, his face looked like it was about to burst with rage. And his eyes, his eyes were as dark as two bottomless pits.“I-I w-was lookin-ng f-for t-the library!” I stuttered, shivering under the intense stare He was throwing at me.“And does this look like library to you?” He snapped. Confusedly, I looked around me to take in the large book shelves filled with new books, and the table and chairs placed in a nice pattern in a corner, and shook my head slowly at him.“Yes, this is a library.” I almost whispered. My answer seemed to rile him up more than he already was as he scrunched up his face further- if that was even possible- and took three predatory steps towards me until he was towering over me.“I asked a question Scarlett, does this look like a library to you?” Is this Alpha a lunatic? Of course this is a library!“Yes sir, it is.” I whispered back. I wasn’t sure what it was that happened, but immediately the wor
**Scarlett’s POV** I woke up with a start, I tried to sit up but I discovered I couldn’t do it properly. The events of the past night played in my head and I couldn’t help but feel intense loathing for the man that had inflicted me with so much pain. I looked around me quickly to discover I was still in the Alpha’s bedroom; and in slight fear, I hastily threw on my clothes and scurried out of the room. By the time I arrived in my own little room at the pack house, it was already way past seven and I was already late to work- again! Quickly taking a shower, I wore one of the clothes that had been brought to me the previous day and practically sprinted out of my room, to the Alpha’s office. “Good morning!” I greeted the girl from yesterday exasperatedly as I ran into her by the doorstep. She smiled a soft smile at me while holding me up. “Good morning! Why’re you in such a hurry?” She asked. I wanted to slap her for asking such a thing, but I let it slide. I didn’t want to go aroun
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
