Scarlett's point of view...Shit...!I cursed for the hundredth time as I panicked. I made this bowl with the leaves available with great difficulty and to feed him the medicine, I had to puncture my finger.Hell...! It hurts.But when I tried to feed him, he spit it out.Idiot...!Does he think my blood is something that he can spit? Does he think that I have an ocean of blood in my veins?Damn...! I wouldn't have bothered saving him if not for Victoria nagging in my mind all this time.Agh...! I was annoyed.As I had no other option, I filled my mouth with that bitter medicine and fed him. Once he swallowed the medicine in, I took a breath of relief. In order to let him drink all the remaining medicine, I had to feed it with my mouth thrice. Though he was unconscious, I still felt it awkward to touch him and his lips. As I finished feeding him the third time, I was about to move away from him but suddenly, he caught my lower lip tightly. He began nibbling my lips, grabbed my wais
Author's point of vew... After one day of rest, Adrian jerked awake, gasping for air, struggling to move but gripped with unease. When the realization hit him, he was drenched with sweat. His disorientation alleviated, and he saw that he was lying on the bed in the palace. His head was pounding with a terrible headache as if it was some hangover. Last night's memories flashed in his mind. The girl... His mate, he was so close to her again. Just as he was about to touch her, someone sprayed something on him. His heart skipped a beat. A low growl escaped his chest but at the same time, a smile was dancing on his lips when some flashes made their way to his mind. His hand unknowingly strode to his lips. He recalled the time when he regained his consciousness as something so soft pressed against his lips. It was her...! He remembered looking into her eyes, the same sapphire blue eyes. His mate. Though he didn't exactly know how her eye color changed, deep down in his hear
Author's point of view... Grabbing her hand, Adrian pressed Scarlett against the wall behind her. Scarlett quivered. He was so close to her. No matter how hard she tried, she could not control her emotions. He was melting her softly. Her heart fluttered and she stared at him. Finally, after fighting a battle against her own heart, she stuttered. "Y....Your Highness...Please show some respect." With her arms folded over her body, Scarlett turned her head away indifferently. But Adrian was not in the mood to back out. Instead of taking a step back, he bent even further, pressing his face deep into her hair, till it brushed against his face. As if mesmerized by that fragrance, he inhaled the zesty aroma of her shampoo. He hit the wall with his fist controlling the urge to press his lips on that of hers. As Scarlett noticed him, she tensed up, embracing her trembling body with her arms. She was so nervous that she was unable to come up with a plan to avoid him. The way he ben
Author's point of view... Scarlett stared at the man coldly. He said those words so casually. Though she wasn't mated, she wasn't a fool either. She knew very well about what it is called to be marked by the mate. And she also knew that he was actually just bluffing around. While they were down the cliff, she saw him injured so badly. He was barely breathing, let alone marking her. After taking a moment to analyze his words, Scarlett raised her eyes and a bitter smirk tugged on her lips. "Oh...! Is that so, Your Highness? Then it's a very good thing" she retorted very openly. His gaze turned cold, he gritted inside his clenched jaw but didn't say anything. "I wish to meet that fortunate girl you are talking about" she added pretending so joyful. Adrian felt a knot tighten in his stomach. This girl is so brave. Brave enough to challenge him head-on. Fine, if she wanted to act clever, he would only help her by coming up with some other means. "Of course, when I fin
Scarlett's point of view... When he said that he needed me to treat someone, I was sure it had to be Catherine and I was more than willing to go with him. I was so much in a hurry to see Catherine that I even agreed to ride a horse with him. When we finally reached the palace, he led me inside the palace instead of taking me to the dungeon. A flicker of doubt started blooming inside me. It wasn't possible that Catherine was kept inside the palace like a guest, was she? We walked all the way towards the third floor. The flashes of that disgusting night's memory run wild inside my mind. I gulped down nervously. I followed him silently despite being at unease. But when he turned towards the special chambers, I stopped. Those were meant only for the royal guests to stay. They couldn't keep Catherine in those chambers. It was then that I realized that I was tricked by him to follow. "Where are you taking me?" I asked halting my steps. Prince Adrian turned around and his e
Scarlett's point of view... He moaned in a tone so fierce it could make anyone shudder in terror, "Do you know what you did wrong, slave...!!" I heard the sound of a whip hitting the ground. It was his common action that he does before starting everything. "I... I hid...myself..." Catherine stuttered her response, and my fist clenched against my messy gown.It was not her...! I muttered under my breath. "Ugh...!" She was whimpering and screaming and shivering from the agony when he began his maddening torment. My heart was racing and my eyes were overflowing with tears.These cries were not unusual in this pack, so it was not the first time I had heard them. Because this disgusting pack's Alpha does not believe in that pure bonding, we do not have a luna. He views women as nothing more than instruments of gratification, deserving neither respect nor love. to use them as their breeders when necessary, and to play and torture them. This pack does not contain any Luna concepts. Th
Scarlett's point of view...The door of that hell opened, and there in front of me stood a massive, monstrous-looking man who was fully nude. I staggered backward as he moved forward. Even in the dark, his dark torso gave off a shimmer. I could feel my hands and legs trembling. "You, was that?" he asked in a raspy voice. It is gloomy. I cannot see his face except for his huge seven-foot frame standing before me, his hands dripping my sister's blood. I heard the clinking of his steps. I attempted to move away from him by stepping backward when he attempted to reach me, even though I felt like molten wax all over. My mouth dropped into a raspy yelp. "No…!!""It's you...!" he groaned confirming again while lunging towards me in just a step, catching my neck in an instant. I am dead...! I don't have a chance right now. He will kill me. "It's you...!" he groaned again while lunging towards me in just a step, catching my neck in an instant. His claws dug deeper into the papery fles
Scarlett's point of view... Alpha's men were not on alert. They had just received the order from their Alpha but were shocked to see me lunging down. I wasn't used to being a wolf yet, and the fact that I just rolled down made my knuckles twitchy. I looked at them and then at the opened door in front of me and before they could process the command, I ran out of the pack house. After running so long, I remembered the thing about the locket in my hoof. I recalled what Catherine told me, that I must not shift, I had to hide my scent not only because Alpha Xian could find me but also because my scent is unique and can only bring me troubles. Catherine told me that I had to hide it and I will. I took that locket and wrapped it around my neck in a hurry. The moment I shifted back, I found myself naked and getting weak again but my steps didn't halt. That messy gown that I had been wearing was still on my neck and I wore it back while still pacing on my steps. I groaned at every step
