Chapter: Chapter 37Scarlett We could lock her up and tell the Alpha she wasn't feeling well.”“The Alpha won't even notice an insignificant pig like her.” The pair of dark eyes swayed to me, her lips curled into her usual twisted smiles. “Ouch, I didn't mean to be rude, sister.”“You weren't rude, you just said the truth.” Mother glared hard at me then continued to pester father, who answered reluctantly. I lowered my head, my eyes burning with unshed tears as they continued, hurling words that ripped my heart even more.“Do you think I want to take this pile of disgrace?” Father snapped. “I can't leave her, it's the mating ceremony, the Alpha hasn't found a bride, and every single female needs to be there—plus I am among the warriors in the Alpha clan.”“Father,” Selene drawled, “do you really think my sister here is Alpha Kael Blackthorn's mate?” She laughed then shook her head. “The Moon Goddess isn't cruel enough to give such a fine man a fat, ugly, worthless pig who only knows how to lazy around a

Chapter: chapter 36Scarlett The halls stretched into a endless maze, lit up by the sun rays that arranged through the window, my boot clicked heavily against the titjs, my hand placed behind her while I strolled out of the mansions and towards the garden.My shoulder stretched, I pocketed the turmoil I felt well enough, I couldn't frighten Hazel more. I couldn't lush her away.My heart tugged at tyr memory if her cold gaze, the wat she drifted from me during dinner. It was a dats ago, we had passed they but that a part of me that still ached, a part that worried I was slowly losing her, they were were too eager to right the wrong, to save our love that we were drifun away, hurtk g and wallowing in the grieo.The knot in my chest tightened still I could barely breath.I took a turn, a warm smile swear across my lips as I sighted her, she squatter by the side, gazing at the lily that had spurred.I collapse the distance between us and froze.This wasn't Hazel.Hazel had been hair, the figure didn't.She

Chapter: chapter 35SCARLETTThe entire day slipped away with him by my side. No matter how hard I tried to ignore him, to turn away, or to silently wish he would leave, he stuck to me like a shadow. I lay on the mattress, my gaze glued to the steady ticking of the wall clock.Night had fallen, yet he lingered by the chair staring down at me as if afraid I might fade into thin air if he looked away.I gave him the cold shoulder the whole time, barely glancing in his direction, but my act couldn't last forever. I had told him to leave, and every time, he replied with the exact same thing:“No.”No explanations, no long speeches—not even another sentence.“Staring at me won't change anything,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “My wolf is gone. You need to leave. You are the Alpha.”“My title has nothing to do with me being here,” he responded smoothly.“It does. You have a pack to run. I am not dying. You can leave.”I heard the chair creek on his right and turned to watch him walk toward the door

Chapter: chapter 34SCARLETT My eyes creaked open, my gaze piercing into the quiet, moonlit room. I shifted my attention to the armchair, fully expecting to see it empty; it was usually his habit to leave after I had fallen asleep. But there he was, slumped in the seat with his eyes shut, his head bent at an awkward, crooked angle. He was going to wake up with a stiff neck. I stared at his dark silhouette for what felt like hours before I finally shoved the heavy sheets aside. Swinging my legs over the edge of the mattress, my bare feet pressed against the cold floorboards, sending a sharp sting through my body. I padded quietly toward the wardrobe, pulled out a light sheets, and walked over to where he slept. Gently, I draped the fabric over his shoulders, holding it up at the back of his neck for a fleeting second. My gaze traced his features in the dim light—his relaxed jaw, his long dark lashes, and the sharp line of his nose. My fingers twitched, aching to trace the firm contours of his face, but

Chapter: Chapter 33SCARLETT I awoke with a throbbing ache pulsing through my head, my mind sluggish and unfocused, my eyes sore and heavy. My vision blurred as I blinked, struggling to adjust to the dim light filtering through the room. My gaze drifted to the ceiling. I lay completely still, not moving, not speaking, barely breathing, just staring up at the plain white surface above me as a flood of memories rushed back. The party. The poisoned drink that stole Lily from me—that tore my wolf away and dragged me right back to the dark abyss I had spent years crawling out of. Lily was gone. Dead. They had taken her away from me. I let them take her away. If only I had been more cautious. More careful. if only I hadn't touched that glass of wine. If only I... A single hot tear slipped down my cheek. I was right back where I started—trapped in my dark, hollow world, plunging into a profound sense of isolation I thought I'd never have to face again. The life I had built, the lies I h

Chapter: CHAPTER 32 SCARLETTThe moment those words left his lips, the last fragile shreds of hope inside me withered and died. My entire body went dead rigid, the air scraping through my lungs like shattered glass.“No... no, no... please, no,” I sobbed, my voice coming out completely broken, small, and raspy. “Please... you... you’re lying!”I shoved his heavy chest away with all the strength left in my trembling hands, trying to fight off the suffocating truth standing over me.“You are lying! You just want to get back at me! This... this is just a cruel trick because I slapped you! I... I am so sorry! I didn’t mean to! You can hit me back—please, just hit me! I won’t complain! Please, just don’t... don’t do this to me!”My chest constricted so violently I could barely draw breath, a series of ragged, uncontrollable sobs drawing from my lips .“Please... please... please, tell me it’s a lie! You’re just playing a sick joke on me! You... Creighton, please!”“Scar, look at me—”“Please, Lily...” I wh
