If you want to reject me, do it looking me in my eyes.” I had no idea how he moved so fast — probably courtesy of his Alpha abilities — but he stood before me. His fingers lifted my chin so my eyes could meet his gaze. “Reject me by looking me in the eye.” His eyes searched my face. I shook my head as I struggled to hold back tears. He pinned me on both sides, my eyes widened in slight fear when I saw the frustration and anger. “Reject this!” He growled before slamming his lips into mine. Scarlett Melton was moved from her old pack by her stepfather who moved to Stone Shadow pack to find the family he abandoned a long time ago. Being a weak Omega with a health condition who has been bullied, abused and insulted all her life, she does not expect to be mated to the first son of the most powerful Alpha who’s also her stepsister’s brother-in-law. She is happy about the bond but her manipulative stepfather has other plans and now, she has to give Baron Salvatore a good reason why she rejected their mate bond even when her heart and eyes are saying otherwise.

It rang but no answer. “Did they choose to go out on an impromptu dinner date?” Zach asked the room in general, but no one had an answer to that question.“They could have at least informed us they would be returning late, to keep us from biting our nails here.” One of the rare times Trenton didn’t speak coldly or have a hard expression blanketing his face. On the contrary, he wore a worrying look. “Do you think we should involve the cops?” Baron suggested. “What are you calling the cops for?”The Alpha entered living room, one of his guards carrying his briefcase. We all greeted him, a bit
SCARLETT I opened my door to see Lucas standing there, a hand raised to knock. “Hi. What’s up? I was about to come join you guys.”We had just returned from school. And everyone had dispersed to their individual rooms to freshen up and rendezvous downstairs as we usually did after school.“Yeah. I wanted to know if you’ve seen mom?” I shook my head. “No. We returned from school together, remember? If you haven’t seen her, then I won’t have either.”“That’s right.” He looked lost for a second, then he pressed on. “It’s just she’s always home when we return and even if she isn’t, she’ll call to know if we’ve had lunch and are having fun.” “Oh, yeah.” That was definitely true. “Have you tried calling her?” “Not reachable. The others too.” He said before I could ask. “Maybe I should try calling her.” I brought out my phone, closing the door and heading downstairs with him. The Luna would, unfailingly, call one of us to know how we were faring and to make sure we had eaten. It didn’t
LUNA ELIZABETH “Why are we stopping?” I asked my driver, noting that the other cars in front had stopped as well.“There’s a bump ahead, Luna, they are trying to check it out.” He replied respectfully.I nodded, and waited for them to be done and we could continue. I had a very important Luna meeting to attend. This meeting involved Lunas from around the country, and being the Luna of the biggest and strongest of them all, I was chair lady.So I needed to be there before the others. Leading by example had always been my thing. “Luna, I think there’s trouble. Please keep your head down.” My driver informed me, communicating with the cars at the back to move so he could drive me to safety.Panicked and puzzled, my eyes darted about the environment. “What’s going on?”His response was swallowed by the fire of a bullet. I screamed, almost jumping out of my skin. Bullets kept being fired but thankfully, the windows were bulletproof and tinted.Just as he was driving out of the convoy l
SCARLETT “Hi, Enisa.” I waved at her once I spotted her in the hallway. She hesitated waving back. Her smile wavered uncertainly, as if she wasn’t sure if she should be staying away from me or responding to my greetings. I guessed it could have something to do with her meeting with Baron, she had no idea he had told me. Shit! That reminded me. Baron had not told me what exactly he and Enisa had discussed. This was my opportunity to know.“See you later, guys.” I directed to the Salvatores, already parting ways to go meet Enisa. They looked at me strange, but didn’t say anything.They didn’t approve of my friendship with Enisa, that much had been made obvious. Well, I was an adult and could decide who I was friends with and who I wasn’t. Moreover, I have to prove to Baron — and the rest of the Salvatores — that Enisa wasn’t a bad person. It was normal to have a crush on someone and it was also human to feel jealous when your crush chose someone who wasn’t you…or in this case, was
SCARLETT My ears perked, but I still didn’t turn to meet his gaze. We were too close. His breath fanned my nape, erupting desires.But I had to remember I was mad at him. For his question, I didn’t say a word. If he wanted to talk, let him. But I was hoping he would. “You’re not saying anything.
SCARLETT “Baby, please, open up. I’m sorry.” It was past midnight and he was still at my door, banging loudly and begging to be let in.I’d cried to the point where I was exhausted. My eyes were red and puffy, they were hot too. My head throbbed badly, I felt a bit feverish. I was currently lyin
SCARLETT I was about to scream when a hand that wasn’t mine clamped over my mouth. “Shut up, it’s me.”Fear cleared like fog in my brain to properly register the owner of the voice. “Baron?”He gripped my shoulders, forcing me to look into his shadowed face half brightened by a nearby light. “Wh
SCARLETT I couldn’t believe I had my own maid and a new phone, and beautiful stuff I could only dream of. And it wasn’t just that. The fact that they had accepted me, without hesitation into their midst and offered not just shelter, but love, care and protection was quite humbling.I studied my e
