Chapter sevenScarlett's povMy lungs squeezed in protest but I ignored them as I sprinted through the woods, uncaring that I had no idea where I was going. My side still hurt but I had to keep going, I ignored the biting pain and pushed myself further because it was all worth it as long as I didn't get to see Silas.I chanced a glance behind me and I stopped in my tracks when I noticed I was surrounded by trees all around.I collapsed beside a tree and tried to calm my racing heart as my breath came out in huffs.At least I knew they would never find me here, heck they wouldn't even bother to look. I was just a rogue after all..."What the hell do I do from here?" I asked myself out loud.An image of Silas flashed through my mind and my heart dropped.I couldn't bear the thought of seeing him again...it was just too much. What would I tell him? What would he do when he saw me, not that he would recognize me, and more importantly what would I do when I saw him?My mind was swirling w
Chapter sixSilas' pov"What is the meaning of this?" My voice boomed loudly in my office as I glared at Nora but she stared back at me unperturbed."The girl was injured, what did you expect them to do?" She retorted as she folded her arms in front of her chest."That was not why they were sent out; they should have stick to the mission, " I grinned."Really Silas? You taught them better than that, you taught all your pack members better than to leave someone who needs help for dead." Nora stared at me pointedly while I turned away from her."You said she was a rogue," I reminded her with the quirk of my brow."That doesn't make her less of a wolf, come on Silas." She called out to my back."But we don't know her motive. This might be a setup...a plan to infiltrate our pack," I remind her."And what if she's merely an innocent woman who needed help and was stranded?" She countered and I remained silent."Have you treated her?" I asked after a moment."Yes," Nora nodded."Then she can
Chapter fiveScarlett's pov"Is she awake?" I heard a small voice ask as I struggled to open my eyes. The voice sounded vaguely familiar but I just couldn't place it. I felt a poke at my side and my lips parted but no words left my lips."Diana come back here," another familiar voice called out. My eyes slowly cracked open and as I tried to rise, I groaned from the sheer pain that shot through me.I heard a little shriek before there were retreating footsteps."She's awake Aunt Nora," the little voice proclaimed and my brows furrowed lightly.Could it be?"Alright Diana, out you go. You aren't allowed to disturb the patients," the familiar voice told the child, and after a series of whining the child eventually left the room."How are you feeling?" A soft voice asked me, seconds before Nora's familiar face came into my line of sight. I tried to speak but my throat was parched and my lips were cracked and dried, Nora seemed to notice my struggle and she picked up a bottle of water that
Chapter fourScarlett's povThe leaves crunched under my feet and my breath came out in huffs as I ran but I didn't dare look back. I heard their voices behind me and for a moment I felt as though I was reliving the dream I had just woken up from, only this was no dream and I knew whoever those people were, they were intent on killing me."Secure the perimeter, don't let her get away." A voice boomed loudly and my heart dropped. Did I have a chance at escaping when I was so obviously outnumbered?A part of me wondered how the men would react if I explained to them I wasn't Scarlett or whatever they called me but I knew it would be a futile argument since they would merely look at me like I was mad and trying to play a trick on them.I heard the oft-flowing water near and a crazy idea popped into my mind."Well I have nothing to lose," I commented as I turned in the direction from where I heard the water."Gotcha," a voice called out to me seconds before I was rammed into. I groaned as
Chapter threeScarlett's pov"You are banished from this pack Scarlett and I've given all the wolves instructions to attack you on sight if you are still within these pack walls in five minutes," My alpha's voice boomed and my eyes widened.All the other wolves howled in agreement and wasted no time in pushing me around, all of them eager to get a taste of me. I turned on my heels and ran for my life, knowing they wouldn't let that time elapse before they chased me down.My lungs squeezed in protest as I ran as fast as my feet could carry me. I didn't dare look back as I heard their heavy footsteps behind me and I knew they weren't too far off."You filthy rogue, you won't get off these grounds alive," One of them growled just before I was tackled to the ground.I groaned as pain erupted through me and dirt entered my mouth."Do you think we are going to let you live?" One of them sneered at me as they laughed mockingly and began to circle me. I felt them closing in on me and I grew d
Chapter two Elara's pov"Silas, what is the meaning of this?" I groaned as the wolves held me down and dragged me to the middle of the podium. I struggled against their hold as murmurs rippled through the crowd."Is this a sick joke?" I quirked a brow up at my mate who stared at me blankly in return. His eyes were cold and unfeeling and my heart dropped. What was happening?"Members of the Nightshade pack, we have been attacked by hunters and our pack has taken a significant hit." Silas began as everyone quieted."As your Alpha, I have failed every one of you. I have failed all the wolves fighting for their lives in the infirmary as we speak, I have failed all the wolves lying dead and I have failed all the wolves crying and praying for their loved ones," Silas' voice boomed loud and clear throughout the pack grounds."In light of this, I have searched endlessly to discover how such a weak species could have information on our pack and deliver such a fatal blow at us," he paused and
