LOGINSCARLETT Enisa was even fun to be with than I thought. She made the class less boring, cracking jokes and performing a mimicry of the lecturer’s pattern of speech in low tones.Even Katherine couldn’t help chuckling at the solo performance. Students let out relieved sighs and groans once the bell rang for lunch. I helped Katherine gather her books and carried her bag. “Sure you can carry both our bags?”“Of course. You don’t need to stress much given your condition.” Katherine eye rolled, but there was smile in her eyes. “I’m pregnant, Scarlett, not handicapped.”“No shade to pregnancy and pregnant women, including you Katherine, but I think pregnancy should be classified under temporary disability, until the woman gives birth.” Enisa commented, carrying her own bag. “Disabled people aren’t allowed to do some certain kind of activities because of their condition. Same goes for pregnant women. I heard doing little things like wearing your own shoes or bending to pick stuff from th
ENISAI drove into the school compound, parking in the garage meant for the students. I climbed out, with my school bag slung on a shoulder, watching as the Salvatores made their grand entrance into the compound and wheeling into the garage built specifically for them. Aaron and his mate who was also a second year student and pregnant came out of their car. She was the only student who’d gotten pregnant and not received backlash from fellow students and snide remarks from lecturers. No one would dare insult the mate of a Salvatore.The rest of the Salvatore brothers all emerged from their individual cars greatly envied by students and lecturers alike. Then I saw him — Baron Salvatore. Aaron’s twin brother and considered the bad boy of the family. Complicated, headstrong, mysterious. But no one could deny his attractive features. He was tall and built — just like all the Salvatore brothers — with a powerful presence only an Alpha wolf could possess. Honestly, no male in the Sal
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.” He spoke again.This time, his hands were caressing every part of my body. My stomach pinched harder in lust, I gulped, fighting it. I even tried to move away from his scent and block body contact, he only held me firmer. His hand roved and strayed. Ailya perked in my head, responding to the every touch of our mate. By the time he turned me to face him, I was a hot mess, silently seeking for more of what he could offer. “I love you, Scarlett.” His voice was low and husky. “I mean it.”Then he captured my mouth. Heat exploded and coursed through every part of me. The next couple of minutes were full of urgent needs and kisses and mate bonds arresting us both to surrender. Anger dissi
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 lying under a thick duvet. My nose was a bit congested. I wanted to call Katherine…no, it was too late. Moreover, I’d dropped my phone in his room. Breathing was a becoming a little difficult, so I had my pump close to me, just in case I needed it. Trisha. That was her name.The name of the girl he couldn’t forget.I could understand what it felt like to lose one’s mate. I didn’t know what I’d do if anything fatal should happen to Baron, regardless of his attitude, the mate bond was that strong. But did it mean I wasn’t enough? And that when he’d said second chance mate, I was just replacement for the real girl he wanted? Loving me because of the mate bond was unfair. It meant that without
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. “Where are you going to dressed like that and by this time of the night?”Certain now it was him, stubbornness speared alongside anger, refusing to acknowledge pain and sadness. “None of your business.”“Oh no. It is my business when my mate…”The words were hardly out of his lips when I raised my hand in a moment of blind fury and struck it hard against his cheek. “I am not your mate. You do not know what exactly a mate is, now leave me the heck alone!”I struggled to be free from his hold, to no avail. He only held on tight. He growled. I heard the intensity of the beastly sound. His wolf. Its pride was bruised by the hit of a mere Omega. I lowered my head in a reflex bow, seeking forgiven
SCARLETT It’s been two days. Two days since Baron was missing in his own home. Ever since that night I’d stopped him from entering my room, we haven’t spoken much to each other, except for the next morning where I’d stubbornly refused to let him drive me to school.I missed him terribly, I would be honest with myself. Ailya did too. But I was also still upset over the fact that he was holding back from committing to me. To our bond. To our relationship. And the love we said we had for each other. Well, I guess none of those mattered to him, I thought with a painful jolt to my heart. The Salvatores stayed with me when I needed it, and left me alone when I also needed it. Right now, I needed their company. So we were in the private family living room, watching TV and having late night snacks while talking about anything that came to mind. No one even bothered about him being missing at home possibly because they were used to his frequent absence.Suddenly, a memory came to mind, a
BENThat stupid bastard! He was going to pay for what he had put me through. All of them, every one of the Salvatores would regret crossing paths with me. Only I knew this was a job I wouldn’t be able to finish myself. I needed help.The only way to deal with an Alpha was to involve another Alph
My jaw dropped open in shock. Tears ceased immediately. How…how did he get here? “You dare lay your finger on my mate?!” Baron lunged forward with another brutal kick as Ben was struggling to stand.The latter was currently bleeding from his head and nose.Baron pulled him up by his shirt, raised
SCARLETTWe entered the boutique. A blast of cool air hit my face, I welcomed it. Then came the sight of beautiful clothes I had only seen the rich girls wear and dream of owning it.“By that smile, I’m guessing you like what you see.” He looked down at me with a pleased expression.I nodded. “Yes
SCARLETT “Oh my goodness, Lucas. That’s crazy.” My stomach hurt from laughing. These Salvatore boys were hilarious and fun to be with. Lucas and Zach were unhinged.Aaron had this serious personality, but there was also this funny part to him I believed he didn’t let out much. We were all in th
