Scarlett's POV

Perfect. He just had to catch me.

“Chloe, I have to go," I whispered hastily into the receiver and cut the call before she could reply, hiding the handset behind my back.

Nino walked into the room with long strides. He reached out and snatched the phone out of my hands, tossing it onto the bed behind him.

"Are you completely out of your mind?!" Nino barked, his usual stoic mask fraying. He looked confused and angry simultaneously. "I specifically told the staff no ph

  • His Forbidden Scarlett    The Alpha's poison

    Chapter 63Scarlett’s POVI woke up at eight to a cold, empty bed.The room still smelled faintly of the mist Nino brought into the room and the coppery scent from last night. My whole body ached. Sitting up slowly, my fingers immediately reached up to touch my collarbone. Right above the neckline, the four small, raised marks where his fangs had bruised my skin burned at the slightest touch.I breathed out, looking around the room. The look on his face after it all subsided came to my mind. He looked worse that disappointed at himself. Like he expected me to run from him. I was scared, I had always been scared of him even before I found out he could grow fangs in minutes and his eyes could change within seconds. But last night, I wasn't scared of him.But for him. What was happening to him? I refused to belived it was just another ‘werewolf stuff.’ Why didn't Nino go through that too?The door opened and Mrs. Gable, the head maid who had run Manor since before I was born, stepped ins

  • His Forbidden Scarlett    My darkest instinct

    Chapter 62Scarlett’s POVI read the note twice. Then the third time. But my mind refused to process it.The air grew thick, heavy, and suffocating, reeking of blood.Before I could turn around, the doors swung open.Christian staggered inside.He had stripped off his suit jacket. His dark shirt was unbuttoned at the top, clinging to his broad chest as it heaved with wet, ragged gasps. Underneath his skin, his bones were audibly popping and grinding, a horrifying, sickening sound of a shift forcing its way out."Christian?" I breathed, backing away from the fireplace.He didn't answer. He clamped a massive, scarred hand over the left side of his neck.Right beneath his ear, the curse mark Nino had told me about was burning a furious red. The raw wolf aura radiating off him was so dense. Dark, venomous veins spider-webbed up his neck toward his jaw, throbbing with every heartbeat. I shrieked back, terrified."Get... away..." he growled. But I wouldn't and I couldn't.The voice wasn't

  • His Forbidden Scarlett    Only with you

    Chapter 61Scarlett’s POV“Shut up.” The words left my lips almost immediately. “Suit yourself. But don't come to me wanting to know more.” Then he gave me an indifferent look and left. His words echoed in my head long after his limp carried him back toward the mansion.He won't recognize anyone. Not even you.Not even me. I stood frozen beside the fountain, watching Christian’s imposing silhouette just twenty yards away. His phone was still pressed to his ear, his jaw clenched tight as he growled commanding orders to his border guards. To anyone else, he looked invincible, a dark, unyielding man who ruled through sheer terror and brute strength. But to me, he'd always been just … Christian. The man I wanted to love me back more than anything else. Even now, despite everything.After he hung up and turned back toward me, my eyes went straight to his neck, right beneath his left ear.Even from here, hidden beneath his hairline, I could see the faint, feverish pulse vibrating under h

  • His Forbidden Scarlett    The alpha's curse

    Chapter 60Scarlett’s POVWaking up under Christian’s weight was like being trapped beneath warm, muscle-bound boulders.His arm was clamped around my waist, pinning me flush against his side, while his face was buried deep into the crook of my neck. Every breath he took blew hot air over my collarbone, sending tiny shivers straight down my spine.I almost laughed.I blinked against the morning light filtering through the white drapes, suddenly remembering everything. The armory. The phone call to Chloe. The escape plan.I took a quiet breath, reached down, and tried to carefully lift his forearm off my stomach.It didn't budge. In fact, the moment I moved, Christian let out a dissatisfied rumble from the back of his throat. His arm tightened like a vice, pulling me even closer until my back was pressed flat against his broad, bare chest."Christian..." I murmured softly, squirming against his hold. "Let me go. I can’t breathe.""No," he growled sleepily, his voice gravelly and unboth

  • His Forbidden Scarlett    Three days to escape

    Chapter 59 Scarlett’s POV Christian stayed on his knees, his forehead resting against my stomach, his hands holding my thighs like he was terrified the moment he let go, I’d turn to dust. My chest throbbed with pity. I hated the secrets he kept. I hated the walls he built around me. But seeing him like this, wrecked by the fear of hurting me, shattered the anger I’d been holding onto all night.I threaded my fingers through his dark, messy hair. Christian let out a shuddering breath against my skin at the touch. He didn't move, just let me gently stroke his scalp, grounding him as the last embers of his wolf’s wild fury receded. "Come on," I whispered softly, my voice cutting through the quiet room. "Get up." He shifted slowly, his eyes meeting mine as he rose to his feet. He towered over me again, broad and imposing, but his gaze softened. Without a word, he lifted me effortlessly, sliding his arms under my thighs and pulling me up against his broad chest. I instinctively wr

  • His Forbidden Scarlett    Bloodlust and resolves

    Chapter 58Scarlett’s POVThe door slammed shut when Nino and Christian left, but the echo of his words remained.Her mother never died. My mother.The room seemed to tilt beneath my feet. My father was a murderer, my whole life was a fabricated cage, and now... my mother was alive? She was held somewhere in the territory of the Northern packs?What sort of absurdity was this?Unable to sit still, I pulled open the bedroom door. The corridor was deserted, lit only by emergency red wall sconces. Down at the end of the hall, near the top of the grand staircase, Nino stood leaning against the wall. His vest was off, his hands pressed tightly over a blood-soaked rag against his side.I walked down the hall, my bare feet making no sound on the runner rug.Nino’s head snapped up, his hand instantly dropping toward the holster at his hip before he realized it was me. He let out a breathless curse, leaning his head back against the wall."You should be in your room, Scarlett," he muttered, hi
