**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 around creating enemies for myself.
“I’m late!” I rushed out. She nodded understandingly at me, threw her signature smile my way, and pulled me down the corridor, to my office.
“I got you the typewriter.” She said with a smile, “and over there is a semi detachable milk frother, for making hot chocolates,” a pause, then looking intently at me, she continued, “boss likes a cup of hot chocolate every morning, and he’s instructed that you bring it to his office every morning.”
“Has he been given a cup this morning?” I asked, staring up at her who stood over my table.
“No, like I said earlier, it’s your job to give it to him every morning.” At her response, my heart beat accelerated. It was already a few minutes to nine o’clock and he had not gotten his cup of chocolate yet.
I couldn’t help but think about the kind of punishment he would make me go through for this tiny slip again. I hurriedly ran to the milk Frother or whatever she had called it, and quickly began to make a cup for the Alpha.
“You need to calm down—What’s your name?” The girl talked from behind me, but I was too busy to listen.
“I’m Emily.” I said quickly, focusing on the task at hand.
“Okay Emily, I’m Sandra, right now, you need to calm down, he doesn’t like too much cream in his milk…” at her words, I quickly stopped adding cream to the cup, “…he doesn’t like sugar either…” I quickly threw the bag of sugar across the room until it slid underneath my chair, “…and he doesn’t like it too hot, or lukewarm.” What the hell?
I quickly made the cup, thanked her and strutted off to his office, not willing to spend one more minute behind time…
***
As soon as I got to the door leading to his office, I froze allowing the hot chocolate in my hands to fall to the ground. The sound of the ceramic cup hitting against the tiled floor snapped me out of my thoughts, I blinked.
“What the hell are you doing there, jinx?!” A lady with fake red hair snarled from inside his office. A few minutes ago, I had walked in on her trying to give him a blow job, and I couldn’t help the sudden feeling of jealousy, of anger I had felt towards the both of them.
“I’m sorry.” I quickly apologized, bending down to pick up the pieces of broken ceramics littered across the room. I felt the Alpha’s gaze on me but I couldn’t look up. I was too embarrassed, too flustered to.
“Honey, who is this?” She asked the Alpha, pointing at me like I was an abomination, a piece of dirt that never should’ve never been in the same room as her. I flinched at the open shade.
“My new employee.” He simply said, his gaze never leaving my face. Still, I ignored it.
“I always wonder how you seemingly employ only the worst kinds of people!” She spat, then turning to look at me, she continued; “this one isn’t just clumsy, but is also slow and deranged.” Her insults were fast beginning to get to me, and I had to take in long deep breaths to refrain from snapping at her.
“Hey be fast with that nonsense you’re doing!” She yelled, “I was quite busy before you came in!” In a bid to hurry up, I accidentally ran my hand over a piece of broken ceramic shard, which immediately cut open my finger, I screamed in pain.
With blurry eyes, I watched the deep cut begin to bleed slowly but that didn’t earn me any form of sympathy from these unfeeling beasts!
“Be quick you faggot!” She yelled, eying me down. I couldn’t seem to move my fingers, they felt numb from pain, silently I wished I had never walked in in the first place.
“Are you disobeying my orders!” She yelled venomously.
“No, my hand hurts, I just sustained a—” I rushed out…
“Ah, you’re indeed disobeying my orders!” She screeched, cutting me off. “You think that little scratch on your hand is pain right? Now I’ll show you what pain truly is!” She yelled with an evil glint in her eyes. I wanted to protest, but I knew it was their words against mine, I had lost even before the battle started.
“Now stand up, raise your skirts, and sit on that floor!” She growled. Wait what? No way! Was she on some kind of murderous intent or what? I looked up to Alpha Xavier, to plead with his guest, but the look on his stoic face made me swallow back my words…
With no one else to ask for help, I held my up skirt a little, and sat on the floor littered with now warm chocolate and shards of ceramic. Tiny pieces of the broken cup tore into my skin, making me scrunch up my nose in pain.
The pain worsened, as the pieces began to slowly go deeper into my skin. It was unbearable. My eyes tore up as I felt blood begin to slowly seep out of the cuts.
It made me feel angry, and bitter, because even in this state, I couldn’t help but notice how Alpha Xavier and his guest watched on, with bemused expressions on their faces…
**Scarlett's POV** All I could feel towards the both of them was resentment and bitterness. Coupled with the pain that shot through my veins was my uneven breathing as I couldn't take it anymore. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I bit my lip hard to stop myself from crying out loud. The red haired lady bent over and laughed; she was enjoying the hell I was going through. How I wish I could wipe that smug look off her face; I'd be delighted. “How are you loving that?” She asked, still wearing that smile I desperately want to turn upside down. I raised my head to look into her eyes, but she grabbed my hair instead. “Wow, you have no respect at all. You had the guts to stare into my eyes?” She pressed my body down, giving the shards of ceramic an opportunity to dig deeper into my skin. I winced in pain as hot tears dropped from my eyes. “To be honest, I wonder where he gets incompetent, sluggish and disheveled workers like you from. You're so pathetic!” She exclaimed and stood up. “N
**Scarlett's POV** I tried to stop my heart from beating frantically against my chest as I made my way to his chambers, but it didn't work. The fear that gripped me was enough to make someone's blood pressure rise. Scared and terrified of what this man would do to me, I walked through the halls that led to his chambers innocently. When I got there, the door was already open, but I wanted to knock anyway. After knocking thrice and getting no response, I stepped into the room and stood, looking around. I could make out the running water in the bathroom, meaning that he was in there. Should I just run out of here, then tell him that I came and couldn't find him? I had to give this a second thought; what if he found out I lied and increased my punishment? Worse; he might even order for me to get killed. After thinking about all those, I sighed and stood until he was out of the bathroom. He had only a towel around his waist and believe me, all efforts to stop myself from staring were fu
**Scarlett's POV** I squirmed beneath him as he urged me to utter the words. He would thrust in slowly, but wouldn't hit me before pulling out. I couldn't bring myself low to actually beg him to fuck me. I stubbornly shut my mouth even though I was at the verge of orgasm and needed him to bang me. “You're proving stubborn, huh?” His gaze darkened as they stared down at me. “Do you have a death wish?” He asked, and I shook my head because words failed me. “Do what I asked you to do,” I pressed my lips together in an attempt to muffle my cries. Before I could think of something, his hand followed his dick to my vagina, stretching the walls. The pleasure was starting to take over; no matter how I tried to stop myself from yearning to be touched by him, it didn't work. “Beg me, Scarlett!” He snapped, thrusting deeper. My breath became uneven, and I couldn't think of anything else anymore. “Fuck me, please.” I blurted out without even realizing it. "Whore!” He squeezed my breasts
**Alpha Xavier's POV** I pulled out of her as her unconscious body plopped to the bed. We would have gone for plenty more rounds if she hadn't passed out. What kind of female wolf has no stamina? I headed for the bathroom and showered again, then stepped out with a towel tied around my waist. She was still lying down there in her unconscious state. I walked forward and stared at her, taking in her innocent and delicate facial features. The girl was beautiful, but she was a slave that has to do what slaves do. I put on a pair of clean clothes and stepped out of the room, leaving her there. If she wakes up before I return, fine, but if she doesn't, and I have to wake her myself, I would make sure I get to it with her again. I'm not concerned about whatever happens to her; she should learn how not to flaunt my orders. Checking my wristwatch, I remembered that there were some important mails I had to respond to. Taking one last look at her, I stepped out of the room and closed the doo
**Alpha Xavier's POV** The hospital wasn't far from the pack house, but I took the car instead. When I got there, I took a blanket from the car and covered her with it before taking her inside. “Where's Blake?” I asked one of the nurses. “He's attending to an injured wolf in another ward.” The nurse answered and bowed. “Call him here this instant,” I ordered. Her body was becoming cold, and I didn't want to know what would happen next. The nurse rushed to do as told, while the rest helped take her to a ward. Blake walked in as soon as she was placed on the bed. “What happened to her again?” Blake asked. “Quit the dumb questions and attend to her.” I snapped. Blake nodded. “We'd appreciate it if you go out, Alpha.” He said. “I'm staying here.” I sat down on a chair there. Blake sighed and faced the nurses. I watched how he gave them some instructions before taking his stethoscope to check her heartbeat. They put her on a drip. Blake was about to pull the blanket off her body,
Alpha Xavier's POV** I smirked the moment he said that; if only he knew how foolish he was. I said nothing, using my eyes to count the number of guards positioned, awaiting his orders to attack me. “25, I can handle more.” I spoke up, and he scrunched up his face, confused. “What rubbish are you babbling about?” He asked. “Did you get my message?” I asked. He chuckled and raised his palm. One of his guards walked forward and threw the head of the spy I killed to my feet. “I got your message clearly, but it was foolish of you to come attack me tonight. I thought you were smart, but I guess I thought wrong.” He said. “Do you think I came here without a plan? You and I know that you have no idea that we were attacking tonight,” I smirked and saw his facial expression change. When he didn't say anything, I continued. “If truly you were expecting me, your warriors wouldn't have been careless with their weapons and sleeping like it's nobody's business.” “That's not true!” He snappe
**Scarlett's POV** My head ached as I struggled to open my eyes. The pain I felt all over my body the other time had reduced a bit, but the soreness from my vagina was still there. When I finally fluttered my eyes open, I heard someone shout, “She's awake!” I was too weak to turn my head, but I recognized that voice immediately; it was Alpha Xavier. Did he find me passed out in his room and brought me to the hospital, or someone else did? I opened my eyes fully and saw that doctor of last time checking on me. “She's fine now, but we'll have to keep her here until the evening.” The doctor said, I thanked my stars because that means I wouldn't be seeing Alpha Xavier for the whole day. “Why, if I may ask?” I could sense impatience and irritation in his voice. “We need to still keep an eye on her.” The doctor responded. “Her opening her eyes and moving her body is enough reason for her to come with me.” I heard him order. “But, she is in pain. Just let us watch her until sunset,
**Scarlett's POV** “Pleasure you until dawn?” I exclaimed. “For goodness’ sake I was just discharged from the hospital, my vagina is sore, my butt hurts like hell, I'm aching all over, and what did you say? Pleasure you until dawn? Do you want to kill me?” I blurted out in frustration. As soon as I realized what I'd said, I covered my mouth. “You need to put a leash on that tongue of yours whenever you're with me,” He got down from the bed and grabbed my neck, lifting me off from the ground. “Mind the way you speak to me because I might just kill you and nobody, absolutely nobody, would do anything about it.” I held his hand as he tightened his hold on my neck. Looking into his eyes, I didn't see anger, but I saw pain and frustration; something like he had no choice but to do what he was doing to me. “I… I… I'm… sorry,” were the only words that managed to come out of my mouth as he choked me. He let go of me, making me hit my already aching butt on the floor. I winced in pain and
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
