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 of palace soldiers standing at my doorstep brandishing weapons as if I was an hardened criminal. “What do you want?” I asked the one up front who looked like he was their leader. He eyed me up and down, like a piece of garbage before he said;

“We were asked to escort you to the palace.” Escort? How come an escort looks like a group of army with enough weapons to go to war with?

“Why Is that?” I asked skeptically. It didn’t feel right with me. Something felt off. Instead of answering my harmless question, he commanded two of his subordinates to pick me up like an old rag doll.

“Wait! Let me down! You do not have any rights to pick me up like this!” I screeched in annoyance, but my complaints seemed to fall on deaf ears as they kept walking as if I never said a thing. 

Feeling a strange dizziness envelop me, I kept my mouth shut and allowed them drag me like an old rag doll… they’ll hear it hot from me whenever we arrive at the palace!

***

I still can not remember if I slept off on the arms of the palace bodyguards, or if I had been injected with something because the next time I pried my eyes open, it was because a large bucket of water had been thrown over my head.

I squinted my eyes at the bright light to discover that I had been tied to a steel chair and I was made to sit in front of an enraged crowd while Michael, the Alpha addressed the crowd from the podium;

“…she sold us out!” He spoke into the microphone. I couldn’t fully decipher what he was saying but could only make out a few incomplete sentences. “…She connived with our enemy pack to take me out…” he paused, then continued after a few seconds, “…one of the attackers we caught yesterday testified to that! She’s responsible for the killing of our innocent pack members!” His speech seemed to enrage the crowd even more as they all tried to get past the security to get to… Me?

What’s happening?

I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn’t make out words. What did they do to me? I also tried shaking out of the thick rope clasped around me but somehow I couldn’t move my body. It seemed like I had suddenly become paralyzed. No! This can not be happening to me.

“Yesterday during the attack, she was the only person above age of 17 who did not come out to fight!” No no no no! I didn’t fight because I am phobo phobic! “She stayed back because she couldn’t fight against the people who had hired her!” What actual nonsense was he talking about? “She sold out her pack, and for that she must be duly punished!” At the mention of the word ‘punish’ the crowd cheered wildly.

“By the power vested on me as the Alpha of this clan, I hereby charge Scarlett Paige, daughter of the late humble Logan Paige for treason! And from today henceforth, she would no longer be a member of this pack or be allowed to participate in any activities of this pack…” a wild pause, “…she’s hereby declared a rogue and an enemy of this kingdom!” He yelled making the crowd erupt in wild cheering.

Fat tear drops fell hopelessly from my eyes as I opened my mouth again to speak but couldn’t seem to.

“Let the accused say something to justify herself!” A male voice yelled from the crowd. I almost leapt with joy at his sane remark, but when I remembered that I couldn’t speak, my heart fell.

“Oh well then fine!” Michael drawled, he stalked off the podium and walked up to me with a kind of predatory grace that befit his treacherous aura; “Scarlett Paige, You’re given this opportunity to speak for yourself.” He drawled with an evil glint in his eyes; “Tell the council of elders and the people of Blue moon pack your take on the allegations filed against you!” He almost roared, bringing the microphone close to my lips as if urging me to speak.

A deafening silence followed as couldn’t speak for myself. I couldn’t even move my body.

“You see!” He yelled turning to face the now quiet crowd. “She can not even say a word to justify herself!” I couldn’t control the torrent of tears that fell from my eyes at the injustice of it all.

I wanted to scream out my innocence. Tell them I do not have a clue about what I was being charged of, but I couldn’t. From the corner of my eye, I saw a huge bodyguard walk up to me with a metallic helmet in his hands; and before I could even make out what he was trying to do, he raised the helmet high in the air, and with a swoosh, it landed hard against the side of my head, knocking me out.

Before I slipped into unconscious, the last thing I noticed was Elora’s smiling face, looking down at me from the podium; where she stood side by side with my mate…

    “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

    **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

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

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.

"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.

'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.

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 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.

    ***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.

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.
