Scarlett's POVThane and I spent the whole time having sex. I wasn't sure if I was doing it because I wanted to, or just because I wanted to get back at Franklin for moving on so quickly. It was still raining outside, it hadn't stopped for the seven days, although the intensity had reduced. I was now all alone in my room, rolling all over the bed again with no sense of direction about what to do. I sighed for the millionth time, grabbing a book to read. I missed Franklin's bookshelf in the woods, and in the Palace. The books there were the best, and he always gave the most perfect recommendations . There was a knock on my door, and it was definitely not Thane. “Who's there?” I asked.“Matthew.” He said, and I hissed gently. “Come in.” I muttered. He walked in like a dove that could do no harm. “How are you?” He asked, smiling at me. “Alive. Why does it matter to you?” I asked rudely. “I am alive too.” Matthew kept his smile. “The bruises on my shoulders are healing, and I can

Scarlett's POVThane's hand moved to my waist, and he aggressively pulled me to himself. I tugged harder at his shirt, and he grabbed my butt, rolling his tongue over mine. I could feel his strong erection already, but I couldn't go any further. I pushed him off myself gently, shaking my head as I did.“I can't.” I muttered, whimpering breathlessly. Franklin's eyes were fixated on mine, although I had the intense urge to look down. “That's perfectly okay.” Thane said, moving closer to me. “We can see a movie like old times.” “I'd really like that.” I muttered, grabbing my laptop on the desk. We laid on the bed and saw a random movie together. It literally had too many genres that we could choose. At some point, it felt like a horror movie, and later on, a rom-com, and then it felt like porn, until it became a thriller. I liked Thane's sturdy arms around me, and the little caresses every now and then made me feel better. He was definitely very good at doing this. “So, why are yo

Scarlett's POV I forced myself out of the bed, and walked into the bathroom. I washed my face gently to hide my swollen eyes in whatever way possible. I changed into a small shirt, washed my mouth, and I followed silently behind Arya. She seemed very contented with my current situation. She had told me everyone's names before we got to a place where anyone would be able to hear us speaking. I got to the table not long after, and all eyes shifted to me. The most captivating of them all was Thane's. He was probably going to be the bright light after a storm that I badly needed, and the friendly face in a very evil space. “Good morning, and welcome to the Kraven pack house.” I greeted them with a forced smile. I stole another glance at Thane who didn't take his eyes off me. Incidentally, I sat opposite Thane, and we all ate silently. “What are you doing here?” I asked his parents. “Erm… our pack house has recently faced some troubles, and we're hoping to enjoy some of the Kraven ho

Scarlett's POV The pain I felt was immense. I had just told the most difficult lie of my life. Of course, I love him. Of course, my body aches for his touch. Of course, I want to be with him. I didn't expect it to hurt this much. What hurt the most was Franklin's eyes. He blinked them so many times, which never really happened. I saw the amount of tears that had welled up and the restraint he had. I saw his eyes turn black so many times, but this one hurt the most. Arya surprisingly wasn't trying to lock me up or do any of the things I had anticipated her doing. Instead, she hugged me and let me cry in her arms. I wailed so loudly that my wails were louder than the sound of the raging storm outside. The reason for the storm was not far-fetched. I couldn't stop thinking that I made a very bad decision. I shouldn't have left the palace. I should have figured out something else. I could have made it work. I was just scared of committing or scared of doing new things I wasn't al

Thane's POV The past week had been a rollercoaster, and I just awaited the outcome of whatever game the King was playing. I had thought really hard about how to tweak it in my favour, but nothing worked. I was always in my room. Joe and Jane were mostly nice to me because of the possibility of what I could be, and as much as I hated them being around, their seasonal good behaviour was enjoyable. I had already told them to pay no attention to it until it happened, to avoid any form of heartbreaks, although that seemed likeliest to happen. “Today, we know your fate.” Joe chuckled like it was something to bet on.This only ends in two ways for me; it's either I'm installed as a prince, or taken back home to be tortured for not getting it.There was a knock on the door, followed immediately by the entrance of an Omega. Joe and Jane were already on their feet.“The King has demanded an audience with you.” She said, clearly facing me. “With all of us?” Jane asked. “Just with him alon

Franklin's POV I finally worked things out with my mother. She'd easily come over to the woods to visit several times, and she'd come with my sisters. The East wasn't going to be a good fit, but an already known place for us in the woods was better. I'll help Paenyrah take the throne, and just after that, we'd get to do whatever we like. “Why don't you want the throne for yourself?” My mother asked for the umpteenth time in a few hours. “I'll be too unstable. Paenyrah is the best fit for it. She has the brains, and then the calm and cold.” I muttered. “Too bad you wouldn't be here long enough to be with Jessica.” She said, pinning her gaze on the table in front of her. She had tried everything to pair me with Jessica, but I wasn't just interested. “I already have a woman. You know it.” I said with a straight face. “A woman that you want to throw away your life for!” She yelled, rolling her eyes at me, and then she hissed. “C'mon, you don't get to be like this!” I snapped. “We

Maverick's POV I stood in front of my mirror in the room. Liam and Chloe stood by the door with their arms folded. I could already see the tears welling up in Chloe's eyes, but there was really nothing I could do about it. I turned to look at them, and I smiled.“You don't really have to go, you know?” Chloe begged.“I have to.” I responded gently, pulling her in for a hug. She cried in my arms, holding me very tightly. “Who knows? I might come back home safely.” I shrugged, caressing her hair. It didn't make her feel any better, rather she just cried the more in my arms. I couldn't bear to see her cry, so I pulled back from the hug. “Regardless of whatever happens, we have a plan, and we'll stick to it.” I said, holding her hand. “It might just work out fine.” “Where did this sudden optimism emanate from?” Liam asked, and I chuckled, looking at him with a shrug. “You can still run away, you know?” Chloe suggested.“Nah, that'll just make me look guilty.” I pushed the idea out

Maverick's POV It was the eve of my last day in court. The day that would determine my life from here on, and I was spending it with Chloe and Liam. Blue was nice enough not to ask for it since we had spent the past week together. Despite the fake news that rolled out everyday from several blogs and stations, we moved from gala to gala, from party to party, from my dorm to her house, and we had fun in every place possible. We sat under the night sky, somewhere in the woods, just enjoying the night air. I wasn't convinced about getting free of this. In fact, I was hoping that it'd just blow over, and they'd forget about me. Having my life under scrutiny and in danger by people who believe that I killed someone I don't even know was something I wasn't interested in facing. “Maverick.” Chloe called, and I turned my face to look at her.“Huh?” I asked, trying to enjoy what could be my last night in the world. “No matter what happens tomorrow, we'll always be here for you.” She assure

Blue's POV When I woke up, Maverick was no longer by my side. I could not see any of his belongings, so I knew he had left. I sighed, thinking deeply about how well he had gotten to me. I wasn't thinking straight anymore. I just have to save him in any way possible. I caused this whole mess, and it has somehow spiralled out of control. But how else did I expect it to play out? That he'll just be set free. I was plagued by several guilty thoughts when the door opened and Maverick walked in with a tray. I was shocked.“I thought you had left.” I groaned, sitting up as he walked towards me.“Can't leave you when I've not fed you physical food.” Maverick muttered, gently placing the tray on my lap. There was bread, tea, croissants, and butter. “There was no one downstairs, and I had the whole kitchen to myself, so I made you something to eat.” Maverick muttered. “Thank you baby.” I muttered, leaning in. He met me halfway, and we kissed. He took one croissant, and went to pack his ba

Maverick's POV The ride home was very quiet on my part. I just sat in the car, staring outside the window. It happened suddenly, but I couldn't say I was shocked. There was no way I expected them not to try anything to get me down in jail by all means. One of the other wolves was in my car and was bringing it back to the pack house. We left in numbers so no one would be able to attack us. Allison kept checking in on me through the rearview mirror, and I'd always smile every time. This was the longest drive we've had back to the pack house.Blue on the other hand was receiving calls, and kept on debunking everything they had to say about me.“C'mon, don't tell me that you're too stupid to see that that's AI, it'd break my heart.” She said to one.“Do better, you really don't think that one stab to the chest would have done that to Billy. Not even a silver knife can do that to an Alpha of his rank, and why the fuck was he just standing and watching?” When we arrived at the pack hous

Blue's POV Luca was the one blowing up my phone with calls. I could only hope that Maverick didn't see who was constantly calling me. I could already guess why Luca was calling me. Afterall, I had just told his investor friend to go to hell.“Allison, reduce the volume of the music.” I said, calling Luca. He picked up the call before it could even ring. “Blue, I've been trying to reach you.” He muttered over the phone. “Yeah. I saw that.” I said nonchalantly. “Why's that?” “I wanted to apologize about how things went the last time.” Luca said, and I frowned, definitely not expecting him to even talk about that. “Okay?”“Look, I'm really sorry.” Luca said, sighing. “I know that I've gone wrong in several ways, and I can't begin to atone for each of them one by one…” There was a short pause before he continued speaking. “But, I'll apologize for them every day of my life till my last if I have to.” He said, and I chuckled. “It's okay, Luca.” I whispered. “I didn't know that tha

Maverick's POV It was easier to see Blue's baby bump now. Her stomach grew bigger by the minute. I thought she'd use a surrogate since her duties as Alpha might be so important to her, but she shocked me. She was still in my embrace, and I kept patting her head. I had just finished with Tiffany, and the plan might just be solid, although it was all dependent on luck and chance. “Why do you think my life's in danger?” I asked calmly, disengaging from the hug. “Richard… my brother…. He's trying to get revenge.” Blue shrugged. “I thought he was headed here.” Her phone was blowing up, but she kept ending the calls. At some point, I was worried that she'd slam the phone in my face. “I'm just happy to see that you're not in danger.” She whispered, holding my arms. I scoffed at her words.“I'm always in danger. You just don't know it.” I said, holding her waist. She hugged me again, and I hugged her back. I might just be the definition of everything I never thought I'd be. I could not
