Scarlett’s POVAlpha Jackson’s offer echoed in my mind like a lifeline I had been too afraid to grasp. If I stayed here, I would remain nothing more than prey for Alpha Enzo and Luna Ember’s cruelty. I may even never get the chance to escape.At least Jackson had shown me something they never showed me. Compassion. Harsh as his words were, I’d rather belong to him than rot as a slave to the man who betrayed me and to his Luna.His voice haunted me still, low and cutting: “Have it your way, little wolf.”Now he stood at the door, his back rigid with finality. “I’m done here. I only returned for a file I left behind. The deal is cancelled, Enzo. And as for your slave…” His gaze flicked to me, lingering just long enough to burn. “I don’t care how you treat her. Just remember, even Alphas have hearts.”With that, he turned and began walking away.Panic seized me. I knew what Enzo and Ember would do to me once he left. Their vengeance would be worse than death.“Alpha Jackson,” I whispe

Scarlett’s POV“He left,” I said, bending down to continue cleaning. “He must have been disgusted by your presence,” she scoffed, approaching me. “Listen carefully, Enzo needs Jackson. He is the most respected, the most powerful and the most influential Alpha in this region. That man has a lot to offer, and if it’s ruined because of your pathetic presence, you’ll pay dearly for it.”I wiped the sweat from my face. “Did you speak with him?” she questioned, reaching for my hair. “No, I didn’t,” I quickly said. I couldn’t afford to let her know I did. Not because I was scared but because I had to be careful.“Isthere a problem, love?” Enzo asked as he entered the dining room. “Alpha Jackson is supposed to be here but he’s not,” she let go of my hair and approached him. Leaning against him, she kissed his lips. “I was just letting the maid know how important our relationship with Alpha Jackson is.”“I spoke to him on his way out. He said something urgent came up,” Enzo said, taking a

Scarlett’s POVI forced the words out. “I accept, Ember.” “Luna Ember,” she sneered, viciously.“I accept, Luna Ember,” I corrected.She grinned widely and raised her glass. “Good. Now be useful and bring me another bottle of champagne. On your knees. Crawl.”The crowd howled with laughter.I lowered my head, pressed my palms to the ground and crawled.Behind me, Ember’s laughter rang loud and sharp. Enzo stood beside her, arm around her waist, watching me with indifference in his eyes.It was obvious. He never loved me.After the celebration;“I’m sure the past three years of your life must have been hell. I’ve heard a lot of bad things about the solitary confinement. How dirty and nasty it is. Urghh, if only you didn’t kill the meant-to-be Alpha. But, let’s put that behind us. Follow me,” she turned around. “Let me take you to your room.”I began to follow her. “Who would have thought you’d end up as my maid?” she laughed. “I used to envy your relationship with Enzo, back then. An

Scarlett’s POV“Enzo will become Alpha, he’ll get me out of here, and then we’ll finally be together.”That thought was the only thing that kept me sane for the past three years.Three years of concrete walls, iron bars, and bruised skin. Three years of silence and shadows. Three years of clinging to the promises he whispered the night I was dragged away in chains.Enzo swore he’d fix everything. That his father would listen. That he would never let me rot in there.“I love you, Scarlett. Just hold on for me.”So I held on.I held on when the guards laughed at me.I held on when they threw me into solitary confinement just to watch me break.I held on when I bled, when I screamed, when my nightmares became reality.And today, today I was finally free.The moment I stepped back onto Pack territory, the Packhouse loomed in the distance, grander, brighter, more extravagant than I remembered. Laughter spilled out from the courtyard.They were celebrating.A shaky smile tugged at my lips.
