BLAKEWathoni got on her feet while my brain went dead from the questions that had been hurled at me.For some reason, Scarlett’s eyes followed her movement closely until she stopped right beside me and then a frown caused her forehead to form displeased folds. And those soft and beautiful eyes of hers were full of what could only be jealousy as she looked Wathoni over from head to toe.Granted, Wathoni was a looker with generous curves and caramel skin but she didn’t compare to Scarlett’s otherworldly beauty in any way, I hope she knew that.“I’m Wathoni,” she introduced herself nervously, rubbing her hands along her battered clothes, “I know you all have every reason to be mad at Blake, but he doesn’t deserve to take the heat alone when I’m the one that dragged him into this mess by coming here for help,” she explained calmly.Logan walked into the office and so did Alex and Scarlett before shutting the door behind them.“Saying your name doesn’t explain a thing,” Logan pointed out,

SCARLETTI didn’t trust this bitch, and it had nothing to do with the sting of knowing she’d been with a man that rightfully belonged to me.However, the guys seemed interested in what she was willing to offer up, so I held back from voicing out my distrust to avoid looking like a tyrant in our relationship. But that didn’t mean I couldn’t give her the stink eye every now and then to remind her that she couldn’t fool me for a second.“Well? Don’t just dangle a goody bag in front of us and then keep quiet,” Alex said, seeming just as irritated with her as I was, “tell us everything you know, right now.”She glanced at Blake, as if hoping that he would back her up or something and that pricked me in all the wrong places. He wasn’t hers anymore and she had no right to have crawled to him, talk less of enraging him with information she purposely withheld and then looking to him for shelter afterwards.“I’ll write it all down, just give me a minute,” she replied, her feigned apologetic loo

272: Don’t trust her

SCARLETTDon’t trust her, my wolf whispered for the umpteenth time.She didn’t have to remind me so often, I had no plans of ever trusting this slimy snake of a woman. I was watching her ramble off more details about the Shahato army to the guys in the conference room of Logan’s company, but I didn’t trust or believe a word that left her lips.I wasn’t hard to convince on a normal day, but when my guts were constantly rejecting a a person, I knew there had to be something shady about them and I’d rarely ever been wrong about that all my life.Right now, I wasn’t voicing those concerns because the guys seemed seriously interested in what she was saying since they’d confirmed that the information about the hideout wasn’t a lie.“You’re certain this is the day when their forces are weakest?” Blake asked, motioning to the scribbling on the white board.Wathoni nodded eagerly, stepping closer him and annoying me in the process.“Yes, every Thursday about half of Lucas’s army are sent out o

BLAKEA miracle landed at our doorstep, yet Scarlett was giving the gods a ‘fuck you’ finger for sending it our way whenever she got the chance.“You definitely have no intention of helping these men and I know it, so stop fucking lying, okay?”I’d heard her say, and despite Wathoni’s attempt to sway her thinking, she’d gone ahead to light fire to gasoline and that’s why I’d stepped in to extinguish the fire before it blew up in all our faces.Now I was face to face with her and she seemed completely unapologetic about what had conspired between her and Wathoni. The look on her face was enough to tell me that she knew I’d overheard them.“Why’re you doing this, Scarlett? She’s just trying to help, without her we’d have never found the Shahato’s new hideout,” I said tiredly as she walked towards where I was in the doorway.“I really don’t want to get into the whys of this entire thing, I just want you to answer me one question Blake,” she sighed as she reached me, “can you do that for

BLAKEAlex and Logan were too busy fighting off the men we hadn’t planned to encounter while our army kept deteriorating by the second.Unlike me, they’d easily gotten over their initial shock and thrown themselves all into the battle again. But I was too busy hating myself for endangering them because I’d foolishly believed the lies of this traitorous bitch before me instead of trusting Scarlett’s guts.“I should’ve let you die, you fucking snake,” I pointed an accusing finger at Wathoni who was pointing a gun at me, “I should’ve let you bleed out on my doorstep while begging for mercy until you crawled back to hell where you rightfully belong,” I spat hatefully, my entire body filling with heat.She grinned, fondling with the trigger of the gun in her hand. It was similar to the one the men jumping out from the underground tunnels had so I knew that if she shot at me, I’d turn to ashes in a second, but that didn’t stop me from speaking my mind.I didn’t fear death, and as long as th

BLAKEIt dawned on all three of us at the same time; how foolish and thoughtless we’d been.We’d left Scarlett in the care of armed men at the Vaughn mansion when she would’ve been safer in an armored truck with us. We just didn’t see the point of bringing her into the heat of battle when her training was still incomplete and the Shahatos weren’t supposed to see us coming.But they’d seen us coming from the onset, and knew our plans. Wathoni made sure of that.“We have to go get Scarlett! Now!” Logan yelled as I dropped the gun in my hand, his eyes bulging in realization upon hearing Wathoni’s words.Without wasting another second, we all shifted to our wolf forms in unison and sped back towards the Vaughn mansion at full speed. We didn’t want to leave a single second to chance, we’d already wasted enough time fighting while she was in harm’s way.How the hell didn’t that occur to me while I was nursing the sting of Wathoni’s betrayal?Scarlett’s scent was disturbingly faint as we bur

SCARLETTSix days. Fourteen hours. Twenty seven minutes.That’s how long it had been since I last saw the men I loved. That’s how long I’d been in captivity under the devil’s rule.The only thing that kept me sane was counting the seconds every day and believing that one second would eventually mark the moment that the Vaughn men would burst into this hell hole and save me.However, it was getting harder and harder to hold unto those hopes as days went by. A part of me wondered if this would truly mark the end for me, but my wolf didn’t allow me dwell on those thoughts because she was confident that none of the Vaughn men would rest until they found me.I knew that I should be grateful that my abduction didn’t include torture, but the royal treatment I was giving was not enjoyable when I knew they were just fattening me for the slaughter like a farmer would do with his cattle.I refused to eat or drink anything they brought me for fear that it was spiked with something that would make

SCARLETTIt’s been nine days already, and my hopes have been diminished to nothing.Deep down, I was trying my hardest to keep a grip on reality just in case things turned around, but most of me was seeing everything and everyone in a blur because I was weary of the awful fate that awaited me soon.As though the universe could read my thoughts, the doors were opened that very moment.I gulped as I looked up and realized why four maids were walking towards me with robotic smiles that seemed to have been sewn into their faces. Lucas has boasted about this moment all day and his taunts made me dread it, but my prayers for it to never arrive fell on the deaf ears of the gods and went unanswered.Whether I liked it or not, in the next two hours…. I would be burnt at a stake.“They’ll dress you up like a bride for the sacrifice, and at exactly midnight, your blood will be drawn on the alter and offered to the moon gods in exchange for our long deserved blessings,” Lucas had said to me while

SCARLETTAs soon as I set my eyes on the moon, the light shone brighter in a straight line directed at me.The moment the light touched my skin, a burst of energy and power that I’d never felt before surges through my entire being and I rose to my feet. I was in disbelief as I realized that my skin was glowing like diamond under the moonlight and my veins were tingling under my skin like something other than blood was flowing through it.Without a doubt, the new substance flowing through my veins was power. It had to be, there was so much of it and I couldn’t possibly deny it.Still, I shut my eyes, dragging in a deep breath to calm myself and make sure I wasn’t hallucinating things. I was still balancing my breathing when I heard the same voice that had urged me towards the full moon earlier and my eyes flew open.“Draw from this source and call to your mates, Scarlett,” her soothing voice washed away my worries as her instruction came through.Something warned me against questioning

SCARLETTI was going to live to see another day, because of them.The relief that flooded me as I watched them snap necks and rip out hearts to get to me was unbelievable. I’d never been attracted to violence before, but knowing that they’d go to any lengths to protect me made my insides churn with a maddening amount of affection.I hadn’t set eyes on the Vaughn men in nine days and that was the longest I’d ever gone without seeing them since we met, it felt more than amazing to see them again.“These fucking bastards! Always ruining every bloody thing!” Lucas who was beside me at the altar cursed angrily, and from the defeated look in his eyes, I could tell that he knew the Vaughn brothers would easily tear through his army and come for him.As though he knew I was scrutinizing his reaction, he turned to me and placed his slimy hand on my face and grabbed my jaw harshly.“As long as there’s breath in your lungs, you belong to me, Scarlett,” he said with an unwavering level of convict
