Scarlett's POV•Just when I thought the atmosphere couldn't get anymore stuffy, it did.I stood with my back faced towards the window as I watched Marco who was standing before me, shooting daggers at Dominic who stood with a gun in his hand by the door—his hands ready to pull the trigger.“What makes you think I'm still scared of you?” Marco turned his figure to him, “you know my group surrounds this pack, right?”“Your group?” Dominic raised a brow, “what makes you think you belonged anywhere? You're more or less an outcast.” His words came out harshly.“I'd watch my words if I were you.”My eyes widened in surprise. Did Marco have a death wish or was he just that confident in his so called group?I turned to Dominic who had his eyes locked on him. His eyes looked he was mentally calculating his next move, at the same time, his features were unreadable.“Ivory group isn't one to accept outsiders so easily.” He pointed out to Marco, but from his expression, it was clear he wasn't lis

Scarlett POV.I crouched immediately, my heart beat picking up pace.I thought Marco was out? He was betraying Dominic after the first betrayal?Somehow, I began to feel Luca was also in on the attack because he was the reason Marco double crossed Dominic?Things seemed to be getting a little more confusing by the second.I stood up straight and tried peeking through the window again, but I felt my heart fly out of my chest when I saw him standing right in front of the door.He knew I was there all along.I stumbled back immediately and he pulled the door open, his eyes staring down at me with not even a hint of surprise.“You really do like involving yourself in dangerous stuff these days.” He said.“And you really do like back stabbing the kind every opportunity you get.” I responded, “a rivalry group? Seriously?”“What I do or do not do to the King is none of your concerned. You think I forgot you were the one who played Sherlock Holmes and got me out of here?” He tilted his head s

Scarlett's POV.“I pray I don't regret this” Dominic carefully searched his right pocket, taking out a pocket knife and handing it over to me casually.“Was this for?” I stared at it with a frown.“Protection, Scarlett. I'm not leaving you out there unguarded.”“Why would I need a pocket knife when I'm right with you?”“I may not always be there to protect you and that's why I need you protecting yourself.”Those words lingered in my ears longer than I had expected. Was he planning on leaving me out there?“What exactly do you want to protect out there?”Wasn't it obvious?My silence sort of give the answer he needed and he responded with a slight head shake, his hand placed on his temples as he shot his eyes gently.“You think I'm not good enough to protect you, don't you?” I asked.“Think?” He looked up at me, “you can barely protect yourself.”“I'm not saying I want to fight for you. All I'm saying is that you need someone watching your back out there.” I tried to explain.“My bik

Scarlett's POV.The sound ‘attack’ came to me me the same way ‘fire’ would come to anyone in a burning building.“Gather the rest, now.” Dominic commanded and the man hurried out immediately.“Get to your room.” He instructed before heading towards the door.“To do what? Hide out?”He stopped on his tracks and turned to me, “don't even think about arguing with me.”“Then let me help.”“What is it with you and helping in dangerous times?” He almost yelled.“I'm a member of this pack…”“Sit your ass in a bloody room. Don't make me repeat myself.” He walked towards the door, almost disappearing from my sight when I yelled out.“I promise I won't interrupt you!”He stopped again, his back faced towards him.With the way he stood quietly with his back turned, it was as though he contemplated giving me out yo the attacks.“Scarlett, today isn't the day I'd die. Stop the needless protection.” With that he walked out the room.I felt goosebumps on my arms as he walked out the room without me.

Scarlett's POV.The familiar sound of hers clicking on the floor stopped right in front of me. The smell of her intoxicating perfume filling my nose instantly.“Is there something you want?” I folded my arm, disinterest clear on my face.“Talking nowadays is a problem?” She questioned.“Talking? To you? Oh my dear, you're not one to be spoken to, especially since you've hinted having a bad side towards me.”“Scarlett, I acted out of fear, alright?” She came closer, her manipulative look displayed on her face.“You asked for immunity for you and my husband or threatened to ruin I and the Alpha's image. How was that fear?”“You wouldn't understand, Scarlett.”“What I understand is that you and Luca are a little too close of late. Care to share something with me?” I tiled my head.“Care to share your closeness with your husband's father?”What a petty attack, but I didn't expect more.“Exactly.” She let out a sigh, “fine, we've both messed up. We've all messed up. I was only looking out

Scarlett's POV.“And where do I keep these records?” one of the men I assumed had dealings with Dominic's biker group asked.“Stack it with the other records. I want details on the Eastern territory by tomorrow. We need to make a stop there.” “Noted, Boss.”The sound of the door clicking shut after Dominic's worker walked out the room filled the space.I sat like it's time out while he flipped through his files, probably forgetting my existence.Somehow, I found myself having no form of activity whatsoever.The clubhouse usually opened late at night and everyone was free to go about their day during the day, but I for one had never really had activities…except when Luca had something for me.I really had no life outside that man.“So,” Dominic's voice echoed, pulling me out of my thoughts, “what do you have for me?”I squinted my eyes a bit as I locked eyes with him. His expression was unreadable as usual, but I can tell he was curious to know what happened last night with Luca.“It'

Ravenna’s POV I sat in the Lunarstrike tech hub with Damon. My heart pounded. Screens blinked in the dim light. Damon hunched over the box at a cluttered desk. His tools lay scattered. My pulse raced. The box’s runes glowed faintly. I clutched my cloak. My arm ached from old wounds. Damn it. I was impatient to see what the box held.Damon twisted a gadget against the lock. He cursed. His hands stayed steady but tense. The runes pulsed. They remained unmoved. He tried another tool, a sleek device with lights that blinked. Nothing happened. The box stayed sealed. The “confidential” sign on it glinted in the lab’s glow. My stomach twisted.“What’s wrong?” I snapped.He wiped sweat from his brow. “This lock’s high-tech. What I have here is not enough.” His eyes met mine. “I can’t crack it here.”My blood boiled. Damn him. I traveled all the way here. I risked so many things. For nothing? “You said you could open it,” I hissed. "Figure it out.”Damon’s jaw tightened. He grabbed the box. H

Ravenna's POVI stormed out of Kael’s room before slamming the door. My hands steadied on my waist. I headed down the hallway as my mind buzzed with thoughts.Magic didn’t work, but technology might. A spark surged in my mind. Damon’s name hit me. Yes, he was tech-savvy and a member of Lunarstrike's tech corps. He could crack anything with his gadgets.Going to him meant leaving Bloodmoon. I would have to sneak past Thalia’s spies, and risk Selena’s wrath. God! My revenge depended on this box, though.I had to try.I walked out of the hallway. Why did I ever trust Kael? I shook the box desperately as if that would help. Karl's unnecessary visions and his obsession with me had already cost me Selena’s trust. I should have known better than to let him ruin this too. He had been useful a couple of times, but overall he was a net negative.Damon was my only hope in this situation.I remembered his clever hands, and sly grin in Lunarstrike. He fixed a broken comms device in minutes. But he

Ravenna's POV Back in the Omega dormitory, I sat on my bed and stared at the box. It was quite heavy in my hands. I was no longer bothered about the horrible state of the room. All I wanted was to find a way to open the box. I needed this open. I twisted the lock and pocket at it with my dagger. Nothing. A blue light blinked on it. I tried again. I still couldn't open it. I sucked my teeth with frustration boiling. I took big risks to search Ronan's room and find this box. I knew it held answers. I only needed a way to open it. The door creaked open and Franka stepped in. She looked tired and I could tell she had been busy at work all day. She collapsed on the bed and yawned. "Oh, my whole body aches.""Sorry, do you need some balm?""I'll be fine. Wait, what's that?” she asked, nodding at the box. I hesitated and my fingers tightened on the box. Should I tell her? I decided there was no problem. “I found it in Ronan’s room and it’s locked. You can see it's marked Confidential.

Ravenna's POVMy heart raced. The potion bottle was cold in my hand. I didn’t show it, but excitement surged through me. I hated how much I wanted it. My body was a traitor. Heat pooled low in my belly.Kael stepped closer. “What do you say? Let’s have some fun first then I can help.”"Fine."Right after I said that, he flicked his wrist. Chains slithered from the shadows and wrapped my wrists and ankles just like the last time. I took in a deep breath and waited.The chains stretched tight and dragged my arms above my head and spread my legs wide. I gasped. I felt exposed and vulnerable.My pulse pounded, I felt caught between fear and want. The chains held firm and their magic hummed against my skin.He moved behind me. I felt his breath on my neck. His hands tugged at my shirt. He pulled down my pants and undid my shirt buttons. Just like that, I was naked. Cool air hit my bare skin. I shivered and swallowed.Kael’s fingers traced my back. My body shuddered with anticipation. Then

Ravenna's POVElder Marcus burst through the door. His gray eyes were as sharp as knives. Carl and I sprang apart as we saw the Elder. My heart slammed against my ribs. I hoped he wouldn't report us. The last thing I wanted was to get thrown out of the academy days after I had been demoted.I put my blade away and pretended to adjust my hair. The Elder passed us and strode to the lecture table. He snatched his forgotten notebook and turned to leave.Carl whispered, “I’ll deal with you, Vexley.”My skin prickled, but I ignored him. The idea of talking to the Elder dropped in my mind and I acted on it.I bolted after the Elder, ignoring Astrid’s warning glance.“Elder Marcus!” I called as I raced up to him outside.He paused. His gaze was cold. “What do you want, Vexley?”I swallowed hard. “I wanted to. . .""Do you realize I knew you were fighting?"I swallowed my words out of shock. I thought he was too distracted to notice!"That was sad to see.""I’m sorry for the fight. It was bene

Ravenna's POVI sat in the cramped Omega dormitory and slowly ate breakfast. I stared straight ahead of me as I shoved vegetables and beef into my mouth. This room felt like a prison.My stomach churned. Damn it! I missed the lodge’s luxury, the soft beds, the warmth, everything! Now I was nothing more than a junior assistant. After I had tasted power, I was back to the ground.Right now, I am bored in the dorm. Franka was off to serve the Luna. I envied her. At least she was close to the Luna. I was stuck here. My title was gone, and my revenge had suffered a setback.Astrid was asleep on her cot. She had been resting more and more these days after her recovery.I munched on my food and let my thoughts roam. How could I win back Selena's trust? Our relationship had gone sour.Astrid stirred on the bed. She sat up and yawned."Did you rest well?""Maybe I'm way too rested.""What do you mean?"“I’m tired of this,” Astrid got off the bed. “I lie here, and do nothing. I want to go back
