**Scarlett's POV**He wrapped his hands around my waist and deepened the kiss. A moan escaped me as I let him push me against the wall. His hands slipped under the duvet, touching me with more confidence than before. I felt something inside of me stir in response. He pulled away from the kiss for a second to catch his breath. A smirk formed on his face that made me smile back at him.“Do not act pathetic in my presence again.” He ordered.I had no idea why he said that, but I nodded anyway.We kissed again, this time slower and deeper. I could feel the need rising inside of me. Our tongues fought over dominance while our lips pressed desperately to each other. Our kisses were filled with lust and desire. This one was way different from when he tortured me; this one was passionate, and I could feel myself wanting him.I broke away from his grip and looked into his eyes. He seemed as if he wanted me as much as I wanted him. I reached behind him and took his belt off. He helped me slip
**Cassandra's POV**I couldn't believe what I was seeing in front of me. So, this bitch is the reason Xavier has been ignoring my calls and not inviting me over. This bitch again! “What is the meaning of this?” I asked but Xavier glanced at me, his voice void of any emotions.I watched how the bitch looked at me. She wasn't even ashamed of what she had done.“Xavier, what happened to her being a slave and you having nothing to do with her, huh?” I snapped.“Don't you dare raise your voice at me,” He yelled, and I flinched. “She is a slave, so what? That doesn't stop her from giving me the pleasure I deserve.” He glared at me.I've always known that there was something about this bitch. I get that she's beautiful and has all the nice curves, but I beat her in all that.“Why can't you call me when you need to be pleased? I told you how much I hate seeing you with other women.” I whined.“Why are you talking like you've become my wife or something?” He frowned.This is part of the Thing
**Alpha Xavier's POV**“What is wrong?” Cassandra asked, but I didn't answer her. My mind was jumbled up, and I didn't understand why I had this aching feeling in my heart whenever I remembered Scarlett's words before she stormed out. It couldn't be possible that I'm feeling something for her at all. She is just a slave and doesn't deserve my sympathy. The only duty she has is to pleasure me and nothing more.“Honey,” Cassandra called again. “Don't tell me you're thinking about what that bitch said?” Cassandra asked.I felt a little angry as Cassandra called her bitch. I ruffled my hair, wondering what was wrong with me. Avery is the only person I love; even though she's dead, she is my mate and I feel for her alone.I tried to encourage myself, but her picture kept appearing in my mind. I couldn't take my mind off her. This sudden feeling to check on her came. The words I said had hurt her and I know I shouldn't feel bad about it, but something in me kept stirring, making me uncomfo
**Arnold's POV**“Don't you think it's time to let go and move on?” I asked, immediately I walked in and saw him staring at that picture again. I couldn't comprehend why he was hard on himself over his mate's death. I tried my best to find a way to make him forget about her, but he wouldn't.“Her death still feels fresh, Arnold.” He turned to face me. Tears had already gathered in his eyes, and I couldn't fight the urge to pull him in for a hug.“I know how you feel buddy,” I said and hugged him. “You have to move on for the pain to go away. I am sure she wants the same thing for you.” I cooed.He sighed and pulled away from the hug. Wiping his face dry, he stood and tucked his hands in his pockets, still glancing at the picture. Somehow I could feel his hurt, his pain and I didn't want him to experience that. I was the only person who could see his vulnerable side, I'm the only person he shares his darkest secrets with. He wasn't always like this; all these happened after we lost Av
**Scarlett's POV**When I got to my room, I plopped down on the bed and burst into tears. I was such a fool for believing that he actually cared about me. Why do I like getting my hopes up all the time? He was mainly using me to satisfy his sexual urge and doesn't give a damn about my feelings.I was such a fool for giving myself to him today; I regret making that decision today. If it was possible to turn back the hands of time, I would gladly do that and fix my mistakes.Tears rolled down my cheeks as I remembered the words he said to that lady. I hate him! I hate him so much!A hard knock came on my door and I wondered who it was. It wouldn't be Alpha Xavier because I'm sure he wanted nothing to do with me other than to fuck the living daylight out of me. He should be having fun with his fake red haired mistress and not coming to bother me. Could it be people at the office or the slave masters?I sat up and quickly wiped the tears away from my face. Stepping down from the bed, I re
Arnold's POV**Her eyes widened as she asked how I got to find out. “Well, I am the beta in this pack, so technically I know almost everything going on.” I answered proudly.I saw her face fall a little before she exhaled. “You must think of me as a spy like Alpha, don't you?” She asked.“Not at all. I believe you.” I answered.“I wish it was this easy for Alpha Xavier to believe me, too. I have really been down, thinking about so many things, like proving my innocence and hoping I'd stay alive, you achieve that.” Her voice shook a little like she was going to cry as she looked at me with glassy eyes.“You'll prove your innocence, Scarlett. All you need is help because you can't do it on your own,” I told her.She blinked the tears away. “I'm sorry if I'm bothering you with my problems, but I really require someone to talk to; someone to pour my heart's to as well. I want to avoid getting depressed or go crazy. The only reason why I'm still fighting and holding on is because of the ju
**Scarlett's POV**When I guessed the stronger Alpha, my mind went to Alpha Xavier, but I waved it off, thinking it wasn't his Arnold was referring to. But when Arnold did not say anything, I sat down and reflected. There was no other Alpha stronger than Michael except Alpha Xavier. It dawned on me, and I wasn't ready to accept it. Remembering all that he had done to me; things he had said to me and how he treated me like I was born to give him sex whenever he wanted and however he wanted, I didn't know when I sprung up and snapped.“No way, Arnold! No way!”How can he expect me to request help from someone who has done nothing but hurt me physically, mentally and psychologically?“Calm down, Scarlett.” He said calmly, but I wasn't ready to listen to him.“No, it can't happen even if I tried. He hates me to the core, and the feeling is quite mutual. You can't expect me to just walk to him and be like, “hey, Alpha Xavier, my former pack Alpha is a dickhead and I need your help to prove
**Alpha Xavier's POV**I saw her face go red in anger, and she had this look that let out that she was expecting this.“Are you being serious right now?” She asked.“Is anything wrong with paying for my help?” I asked, looking at her with a bemused expression on my face.“I don't understand. Does someone who claims to be a leader ask his subject to pay for the help they're entitled to?” She folded her hands.I chuckled, still rolling her hair in my hands. “Are you my subject? You're just a slave.” Was my reply, and I could see her face fall.She sighed and slowly brought my hands down from her hair. “So, slaves mean nothing to you, right? You know, since you started treating me this way, I realized that dying a rogue would have been death. I prefer death to your ill-treatment, Alpha Xavier!” She snapped.I didn't understand why, but I felt a bit pained just seeing her that way. This pain was synonymous to the one I felt when I heard her telling Arnold about all that had been going on
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
