Scarlett:My heart throbbed against my ribcage as I processed what the man was saying. Flowers covered the floor around us, and not to mention the open casket; however, despite the whole scenario that I was in, ONE question played in my head…The bloody bastard was keeping his slaughtered sister’s body, in the house, as a reminder to him? “The woman is dead, her body should be buried. Us working faster has nothing to do with her being here” I said, looking Viktor in the eye “does your Alpha know of this?”“He couldn’t care less about what I did to her. In his eyes, she was nothing but a woman, someone for him to marry and fuck…”“And you were willing to send her a bride to him?” I asked, frowning in confusion “okay, say that this is the case, I can now understand that you wouldn’t mind me spreading my legs for him”“I would have rather had you spreading them for me, if I were being honest, and I will be sure that you beg for me eventually. You choosing him was the first wrong choice
Alexei:“Make sure to keep a close eye, if there’s anything that we need to know, give me a call” I told Artur who nodded.Ivan and I were heading out, and knowing that things were about to get complicated, we needed to ensure that things didn’t get too dangerous on Scarlett while she was alone. If Viktor was sick enough to think that I would leave my mate to spend ONE night in that hellhole with them, he was very wrong. “Don’t worry, boss, the men are positioned to go inside if Luna Scarlett needs them, and they’re already informed that you should be arriving soon” Artur said and I nodded. I put a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it gently before walking out, waiting for the hell that would unleash very soon.My eyes caught sight of mom and dad who were already packed and ready to leave. Neither one of them wanted to listen to the fact that they could stay, and that this was their home; therefore, nodding at them, I walked toward mom and wrapped my arms around her, hugging her tightl
Scarlett:“Why are you showing me these papers?” I asked, looking at Esteban who smiled at me. He turned around to look at me, his eyes holding a darkness that I have only seen on the men who came to the facility to buy women.“Because I want to know what your mate has to say about this”“My mate’s words would not make a difference at this point” I said, keeping my eyes on his as he walked toward me, towering my body. Having received the signal from Artur, I knew that my mate was waiting outside for me, just needing a signal “what makes a difference to me is YOUR words and your point of view in this”“Oh really?”“Yes, really” I said, stepping aside as I crossed my arms over his chest. I knew that playing this game was dangerous, things could go wrong in many different ways, but if I wanted to play with fire, I needed to add gasoline, and right now, that fire was not Esteban, it was the Aslanov who was more than ready to get everything done HIS way.“I am very curious, how did he mana
Alexei:I ran my finger over my mate’s arm, watching as she stirred, waking up from the deep slumber that she fell into.Having slept in the car, the doctors took her to examine her wounds, and I couldn’t help the ache I felt when I heard from the doctors that she was hurting herself more than she could handle. The fact that she knew that she wasn’t supposed to exhaust herself for the sake of healing herself and her wolf made me regret sending her to Viktor. She knew the risk and yet didn’t tell me anything about it.She opened her eyes, and sitting up, she wrapped her arms around me, hugging me tightly. I hugged her back, gently kissing her temple, loving her more than I ever have for what she was doing for me. “How are you feeling, Scarlett?” I asked, pulling away from the hug. She frowned, moving her shoulder before smiling.“I’m fine. The pain on my shoulder is somewhat nonexistent” she said, making me smile. “What happened? Where are we anyway?” She asked, looking me in the eye
Scarlett:“Isabella, I am fine” I said, shaking my head at the woman who wanted nothing more than to feed me the second bowl of soup.“You are not, and you will not reject this bowl of soup. It is good for you and would help you grow stronger. You need to build your strength, and judging by what Andrea said about your state, I am going to be taking care of you myself” she said, making me laugh.“Well, it seems like Doctor Andrea told you all about my state” I said, looking down at my lap. My smile quickly faded from my lips, and reading my expression, Isabella, put a finger under my chin, raising my face for me to look at her. Her, Sienna, Lena, and Maddie were in my room while Alexei went to deal with a few things. What they were, I didn’t bother asking, but I didn’t need to ask to know that they concerned his brother. “You are not going to listen to a word she said, do you understand me, Scarlett?”“She is a doctor…”“Nothing she said is guaranteed” Isabella said, stopping me “she
Alexei:I growled, glaring at my brother whose eyes were wide in fear, and I could see his hands shaking despite being cuffed to the chair. His heart raced, and the vein on his forehead told me that he was more than just a little petrified.He knew what was coming, and at this point, I really didn’t care whether or not he was answering my questions; I knew that I was punishing him for MY pleasure, and that itself was enough to make him piss his pants. The man not only forced us to kill our sister, and himself. He also hurt my mate, and if I wasn’t chewing his neck off right now, it was because our father was in the same room, and I still had some work to do.“Alexei, stop, please, I will answer your questions” he begged, making me chuckle. I ran my blade over his abdomen, enjoying his cries of pain too much to stop, allowing it to rest right over his cock, or what was left of it anyway. The man didn’t deserve to have one to begin with and I handled that the way I knew best.“But, thi
Scarlett:I watched as Alexei walked inside the house. His eyes avoided mine, the blood on his clothes and lifeless eyes told me that things were done, his brother was dead. His heart raced against his ribcage with each step he took, and I knew that he was trying to pull himself together to stand strong despite the shock that he was living through. It was one that I wouldn’t want my worst of enemies to live through; therefore, I wasn’t going to let my mate live through it alone.I went to walk toward him only for Maddie to wrap her hand around my arm, shaking her head at me. However, I responding with the same head shake and moved away from her hand and followed him; I wasn’t going to leave him to live through this pain on his own. If anything, I would be helping him mend his scars like he’s helped me with mine.I entered the office without bothering to knock on the door, not that Alexei expected me to do so anyway. He was more than used to me ignoring that. He stood by the bar, debat
Alexei:Scarlett and I walked out of the office to find most of the pack members sitting in the living room by mom’s side. Her eyes were fixed on the box that she got, Viktor’s head, and despite the tears that formed in her eyes, I knew that she was proud of what she saw.I cleared my throat, catching everyone’s attention, and seeing me enter the room, mom straightened, standing up from the couch as she approached me. Scarlett who was standing beside me, took a step back as mom wrapped her arms around me, pulling me in for a tight hug,“I am very proud of you, Alexei…” she whispered, kissing my cheek. She pulled away to look me in the eye, and despite her tears that fell from her eyes, she gave me a small, confident smile “I never want you to think otherwise. What you did was the right thing for the pack, and it was what we should have done years ago. If we couldn’t do it because of our positions as his parents, you took the hardest part as his brother and ensured your pack’s safety.
