**Cassandra's POV**"You damn fool, how could you let her escape." I lashed out at the guard in rage. We were still in Scarlett's room."I'm sorry, but she caught me unaware." He said with his head bowed down.I walked to him and I slapped him with so much anger, my palm hurt from the slap I gave to him and this caused me to wince in pain."All my plans got ruined and it's all because of you goddammit!!""You're so incompetent, you're an incompetent fool!" I cursed."Forgive me ma'am." The guard fell to his knees.I shook my head, I hissed in anger before storming out of there in rage.I went straight to Xavier's room, I tried opening the door but it was locked, I placed my ear on the door and what I heard was the loud sound of their moans.My whole body shook with rage, I felt like breaking the door and going in there to drag that bitch out by her hair, but I had to refrain myself from doing so.I don't know if Scarlett already told Xavier about me putting the pill in her food, but i
**Xavier's POV**I woke up and I turned to see Scarlett still sleeping soundly, a smile crept up my lips as I stared at her beautiful face.I remember how she looked when she came to meet me and my gaze suddenly turned cold.I got down from the bed and I got dressed. I was filled with anger as I wondered who could have put the pill in her food.I'll have to find out who that person is and get them punished for this crime he or she committed. It was a good thing that I was in the room at that time, what would have happened had Scarlett been unable to find me.Someone else would have taken advantage of her condition. I must find who is responsible for this and punish them severely for this.I stormed out of the room and when I got out, I summoned all the guards for questioning."I'm only going to ask this once and I suggest you all answer me truthfully, otherwise I'll definitely punish all of you.""Yes Alpha." They answered in union."Who is responsible for what happened to Scarlett? W
**Scarlett's POV**"She's dead Alpha, seems to us like she committed suicide and we also found this pill beside her." I heard the Alpha's beta voice and my heart skipped a beat."Who died?" I wondered.I hastily got dressed and I went to stand beside the Alpha."What happened? Who died?" I questioned.The beta wanted to say something but the Alpha stopped him."I'll tell her myself," He said then he turned to face me."Ruth, the one who added the pill to you food,""What?" I said in disbelief."Yes, she committed suicide, which was the right thing for her to do, bet she was scared, she knew she'll definitely be caught and punished for what she did, so she choose to commit suicide instead. My only regret is that I didn't get the chance to punish her myself," Alpha spat angrily."No," I muttered.My head was literally spinning at the moment, I can't believe this, I know Cassandra was the one who made Ruth do what she did, I bet she must have threatened her or something.Ruth didn't do w
**Cassandra's POV**After Scarlett left, I thought about going to see the Alpha, so I went to his office.I got to his office and thankfully, there was no one guarding the door. I placed a knock on his door and when I heard him say come in, I went in.He was busy going through some files on his desk, I stood still admiring how handsome he looks.When he looked up at me, I blushed slightly and cleared my throat."Hope I'm not interrupting anything?" "What do you want, Cassandra?" He asked rudely and I mentally rolled my eyes at him.I walked to him and I went to stand behind him, my hands went to his hair and I began to massage it.Xavier closed his eyes and relaxed his back on the chair, a little moan escaped his lips.I smiled when I heard the sound of pleasure he made, I just knew he'd love it.After massaging his hair for sometime, my hands slowly went down his body and I pressed my breasts to his back.I could feel Xavier stiffen when I did this but I didn't stop.I started to kis
**Author's POV**In the deepest part of the woods, a rite was being carried out. A circle has been prepared long ago, a perfect nine feet, by the clearing of trees and young saplings. The ground has been sprinkled with consecrated earth.Clouds, dark and secretive, danced over the pale moon.Two figures in black cloaks stood inside the protective circle. A lone owl began to scream in lament, but when the gong sounded, even he was silenced. For a moment, only the murmurs of the wind were heard.In the pit at the left side of the circle, the fire already smoldered, soon, the flames would rise up, called by the same wind or other forces.A young naked lady was dragged by a man to the center of the circle, she would be their alter of living flesh.The high priestess, having donned her mask, began to chant in Latin. When she had finished her recitation, she raised her arms high towards the inverted pentagram above the altar. A bell was rung to purify the air.Soon, the priestess began to c
**Author's POV**Cassandra flipped through her wardrobe and found something to put on. It was a black gown that stopped at her feet. It had pictures of ravens on the chest and a dark belt buckle on the waist. She packed her hair into a ponytail and put on a black hat. She reached for her make up kit, applied some mascara and black lipstick, checked herself out in the mirror and smiled mischievously.Today was the day she would finally get the ultimate weapon to end Scarlett for good. Scarlett had been a thorn in her flesh for a while and she would give anything to make sure the bitch was eliminated and utterly wiped from the surface of the earth.After she made sure she had looked good for this occasion, she wrapped a veil around her face and stepped out, walking the streets till she got to a deserted alley.She exhaled, chanted a spell and vanished.****The priestess stood, holding her Scepter firmly in her hand. She had a look of anticipation on her face like she was waiting for so
**Scarlett's POV**It was a valley filled to the brim with purple flowers. I wondered why a valley that's supposed to be scary would look so beautiful. I stepped into the valley and looked around. There was an ocean of roses, each with its own unique scent, but there was also a forest of lavender. I didn't know much about flora and fauna in general, but it seemed like one of those places that should only appear when there is no sun or rain for days on end. A few feet in front of me lay a pool of gold. It was the source of the lovely smell. The flowers were just the beginning. I felt like a princess walking into the forest, and my stomach fluttered. I wanted to go further into the lush forest to find more pools of golden light. I had a feeling I knew which direction they led, though.I got to a particular place where mirrors hung around. That was when I realized that I had changed in appearance completely. My hair was a lighter shade of red and the gown I wore was pure white with intr
**Xavier's POV**Despite my little joke, I could still see the fear in Scarlett's eyes and I knew she was being serious, she was terrified of something, it was all in her eyes, but what?"What's wrong baby?" I asked softly.I sat beside her and embraced her. Scarlett's hold on me was really tight, her body was literally shaking and it was beginning to worry me a lot."Scarlett? What's wrong? Talk to me!" I said in one breath."I'm scared Xavier, I'm scared." She replied, her voice was quivering."Scared of what? Is someone here?" I asked as I sniffed the air, but I didn't get any unfamiliar scent."N no, there's no one here, I had a dream, but it felt so real, it didn't seem like a dream. I can still feel the hotness in my tummy." She said and she shivered slightly.I sighed deeply, I didn't understand a single word she was saying."Explain things to me more clearly dear, I don't understand you." I cooed.Scarlett looked at me, I bet she was contemplating on if she should tell me or n
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
