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
**Michael's POV**“Alpha, since you've rejected your mate and sent her out, when are you going to crown someone as the Luna of this pack?” One of the elders asked.It's been weeks since I sent Scarlett out, and picking another Luna wasn't something that interested me that much. I told them I needed some time to pick the right person, but they were becoming impatient, and it's annoying me greatly.I cleared my throat and faced them. “I told you all to give me some time.” I said.“That was two weeks ago, Alpha.” One of the elders folded his hands.I sighed and facepalmed.“You're an Alpha and can't rule without a Luna. Since you feel Scarlett wasn't good enough—”“I didn't feel, elders. She isn't good enough. Besides, she committed treason and has to be sent away from the pack.” I answered, trying to cover up the guilt that washed over me the moment he said that.These days, I couldn't understand my heart and how I was feeling. There was this guilt feeling that coursed through me whenev
**Michael's POV**A smirk appeared on her lips the moment I said that.“I'm the only one who has this effect on you, and you dare have the guts to have a double mindset about me?” She chuckled. “What were you thinking?” She asked.I didn't know what to say as she continued rubbing my dick that had hardened already.“You're the only one I want, Elora.” I grabbed her by the waist and slammed my lips on hers. My tongue found its way inside of her mouth and stroked it, making her moan. She was hot when she's aroused, and that always made my cock hard.Instantly, I tore her clothes from her body and she smiled into the kiss. I pulled the pants that were down off my leg and held her head, deepening the kiss.Her hands reached for my backside pulling me towards her as she began to kiss me deeper, making me groan in satisfaction. I pulled away from her, kissing along her jawline and down to her neck where I sucked a bit of skin leaving marks as I did so. She arched into my touch as I took o
**Scarlett's POV**I looked at him amusingly the second that question left his mouth. Why was he asking anyway? Besides, there was no way I would still love a man who betrayed and accused me of something I know nothing about.“I hate monsters!” Was the answer I gave him.He was shocked when I said that and blinked.“You called me a monster a few minutes ago. Does that mean you hate me too?” He asked, looking intently at me with a serious expression on his face.It wasn't clear to me why he was asking all these weird questions. Since I told him what was wrong, his attitude changed, and he started acting unusual, making me wonder what was wrong. Why was he being nice and why the question?Well, he comforted me and gave me his shoulders to cry on even when I tried pushing him away, but that doesn't mean he isn't a monster.“Yes, I hate you.” I answered. In as much as I tried to make my voice firm, it came out playful instead.“You hate your helper?” He asked amusingly.“My helper is a di
**Scarlett's POV**I was shocked. “The Alpha?” I asked to be certain. Because I didn't know whether it was a slip of tongue or something.“Yes, the Alpha.” She answered with a smile.“I'm sorry, but why?” I asked.“Have you been to another part of the universe?” She rolled her eyes. “Don't you know what has been trending in the palace? Sheesh, I'm surprised it involves you and yet, you have zero idea about it.”I shrugged to show that I had no idea about what she was talking about. “Please, tell me because I don't know.”She closed the door and came closer to me. “The Alpha passed an order that no palace guard should come 10ft close to you, else he would behead them,” She whispered.Arnold told me this, and I've noticed it too.“He instructed the maids to serve you food in your quarters separately, so you wouldn't have to stay in the same dining hall with them. He also instructed the slave masters to stay away from and that you would do no slave duty ever again. Apparently, anything t
**Alpha Xavier's POV**The way she looked at me after saying that was totally funny. The more I tried to stop laughing, the funnier it got. Like seriously? Obviously, she didn't find it funny because she glared at me.“Did that sound funny to you? I'm here lamenting about the mess you put both of us in, and you're laughing?” She asked, glaring harder.“Mess? I put us in no mess. You should be grateful for what I did instead of scolding me.” I rolled my eyes.“Grateful? I am now the trending topic in this palace.” She facepalmed.“So what if they're talking about us? Is it bad if they suspect something is going on between us?” I asked.She paused and looked at me. “But nothing is going on.” She answered.“What if something was going on?” I stood up and faced her.“Umm…” She trailed off and looked at me. We continued staring at each other without saying anything. I felt like I was communicating through my eyes while staring at her. The feeling of loneliness I had a few minutes ago sudde
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
