Scarlett

I glanced at Elena over Vanessa’s sleeping body.

“Lena,” I whispered. “Are you awake?”

“Mhmm?”

“Shhh, we don’t want her to wake up.”

Elena laughed as she sat up to lean back against my headboard. “You can talk normally, Scar. I slipped her one of Grandma’s Ambiens.”

My mouth dropped open. “You drugged her?”

“Yep. I guess it’s payback for all the times she dosed Osprey.”

My eyes widened. “She drugged Osprey?!”

“Yep.” She looked down at her nails. “The day that my Dad took me hunting while you were supposed to be waiting for us was one.”

I looked down at Vanessa. Was that why he hadn’t woken up when she was being nasty to me? He was never a heavy sleeper, so it confused me after I left and had time to calm down.

“What else did you do to keep me away from him?” I asked Vanessa angrily. “Why do you want him so much?”

“Because he’s the one person she could never have. What are you going to do, Scarlett? You know Silver isn’t really your mate. They are using you.”

  • Hunting Their Enemies   A Taste Of Her Own Medicine

    ElenaI took Beanie’s hand as we marched toward Vanessa’s house. The bitch had finally gone too far by telling Scarlett that she had slept with my brother. Osprey would never sleep with that tramp. We all knew that nasty slut slept with everybody. I had even heard her bragging about how she had joined her mother and stepfather in bed a few times. That was just too much for me to process. Even the thought of looking at my fathers in any way but fatherly makes me want to vomit. As much as it disgusted me, it didn’t surprise me. What surprised me was that she didn’t have half a dozen kids already.“Where are we going?”“Beanie, can I ask you something?”“You’re my mate…”“I don’t think he would have, but I also know that if he did, he would tell you and not me.”“Osprey?” I nodded. “What did he supposedly do?”“Slept with Vanessa and is obsessed with her?”Beanie burst out laughing. “Oh, Goddess, baby. You are in rare form today. You should be a comedian with those jokes.”I shoved his s

  • Hunting Their Enemies   Always Being Around

    ScarlettI couldn’t help but smile at my mother as she guided Beanie and Raul into the dining room as they carried my grandmother’s solid oak table while Elena and I carried the boxes from my mother’s car up to my room. She threw herself back onto my bed, staring at the ceiling. I hesitated before laying on the other side of the bed with our heads next to each other. She turned her head toward me.“I’m glad you’re back, Scarlett. I’ve missed you.”I closed my eyes as I turned to face her, sighing. “I’m sorry, Elena. I needed space to think.”“It doesn’t matter now. You’re back. We’ll keep you safe.”“I think she lied to me, Lena. Why would she lie to me?”“Because Vanessa is a bitch. She has always been one. It’s not your fault for believing her. Out of curiosity, what did she even say?”I opened my eyes to look into hers. “She said you and Osprey were plotting together because you wanted Beanie, while Osprey wanted to have sex with me, and that he was obsessed with her. She said that

  • Hunting Their Enemies   Silver's Punishment

    By the time Beanie and I arrived back in town, my parents were all waiting out front for me. I slammed the car door behind me as I glanced at my father. They all fell into step behind me as I made my way to the border between our lands, letting out angry, loud growls as I demanded the Alpha and Luna to meet us. Five minutes after we arrived, a middle-aged couple came walking up, holding hands, and bringing my agitated pacing to a halt. I glared at them.“Silver James is one of your wolves, yes?”“The James family is part of our pack, yes, but Silver has not yet taken the pack oath. We don’t allow it until our teens get their wolves. He has not gotten his yet, so no, he is not an official pack member.”I narrowed my eyes. “I’m only coming to you because they are part of your pack. Silver will be punished for his crimes against our future Alpha Sow.”“What did he do?”“Which crime do you want to hear about? His lying about her being his mate or trying to rape her after he lied to get he

  • Hunting Their Enemies   Not Blaming Scarlett

    (Present day)I jogged down the stairs into the kitchen, where I could smell eggs and bacon coming from. I strolled in before immediately walking over to wrap my arms around my mother, who stood stirring loaded scrambled eggs. I put my cheek on her shoulder, making her glance at me.“Are you alright, Osprey?”“No.”She patted my hand. “Wanna talk about it?”“Not really.”“Okay.”I continued to hug her from behind while she finished the eggs. I knew she would hear me out, no matter what I was feeling. Except I wasn’t sure exactly how I was feeling. I woke up feeling distraught, like something bad was going to happen. I had walked in intending to pull my father aside, but as soon as I saw my mother, I needed her comfort like I always do. She had always been my rock, even through the past few years when my fathers and I were at each other’s throats. I hadn’t said anything and she hadn't needed me to, but she had held me anyway, knowing I needed her. She was who I needed most of all when

  • Hunting Their Enemies   Fighting For Her

    Osprey (3 months prior)My father grabbed my arm as I lunged at Vanessa as she moved behind Scarlett to rub her back as she vomited up the alcohol from the night before.“DON’T FUCKING TOUCH HER!” I yelled as my fathers literally picked me up off the ground.Sebastian and Tony held my legs as my father and Timothy carried my upper half out while I thrashed wildly, yelling threats to them and Vanessa. When we got outside, they set me down, and I immediately swung on my father, giving a triumphant shout when my fist collided with his jaw before I spun on Raul to tackle him to the ground, throwing punch after punch onto every part of his body I could reach.“THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! YOU TOLD ME TO STAY AWAY FROM HER! I HATE YOU!”I was yanked off of him, quickly shoving Timothy away from me to dive back at Raul, who barely avoided me as he rolled quickly to the left. I scrambled to my feet to go after him again as Godric’s fur erupted on my arms. My father stepped between us with his arm
