LOGINChapter 128Andrew's POVRick was helping me test some clothes for the upcoming festival and Vera was present because I had pleaded with her to be here. Because women do have a genuine opinion regarding issues such as this.And she was good at it. Maybe a little annoyed, too. She stood with her arms folded across her chest, leaning into the doorframe as she inspected my outfit as if I were in court."Very retro," she said finally, and for a moment, the tense shoulders on me eased."Aww, it's the festival theme." Rick interrupted gladly. We had a final verdict after a few costumes were turned down."It's retro and all that, but is it Alphaly enough?" I asked.Before Vera had time to respond, the door cracked open and Diana marched in without knocking. Her eyes swept past each one of us, then at Vera for a fleeting moment before concentrating on me finally. "I need to talk to you," she declared, her tone cold enough to cut through the air.Vera gazed at me with a raised eyebrow, and she
Chapter 127Lucy's POVPhil's question didn't go unnoticed. He had asked whether Vera was really innocent of our baby's murder. That question lingered in his mind for a reason—and I was about to find out why.I drove down to the physician's hospital. Ross would probably go bonkers seeing me after such a long time—and especially because he'd refused to schedule an appointment with me through his secretary.But I wasn't someone who took no for an answer. And my instincts tell me Mr Ross told Phil something about the fake pregnancy. I was uncertain. Still, it was best to—personally—remind him that I held the leash on his family and entire reputation. And any wrong move he tries to make would come with its consequences.My phone beeped. A message flashed from my reliable source keeping tabs on Ross’s daughter in college. And good news—Ross’s little girl was being watched carefully. A small smile spreads across my lips, satisfied to know I still have control over the physician.Finally, I
Chapter 126Scarlett's povI stifled a groan as the under of my feet hurt with every step we took.I stared down at Silas' hand intertwined with mine before my gaze moved up to his face and I noticed he had a small frown on his lips as he looked straight ahead.I wondered what he could be thinking but rather than ask, I remained silent by his side and tried to keep up with his pace."I think we should go see Gary before we return to the pack," I announced and Silas' eyes snapped to me."I want to share what I found with him and hear what he has to say," I explained and Silas nodded.We resumed walking in silence and I glimpsed that frown on Silas' lips once more, I couldn't help but wonder if he was already regretting what had happened between us and if he actually meant what he said about us figuring it out together.I was so lost in thought and barely looking in front of me until I tripped over a small rock and fell face forward.Silas's hand which was intertwined with mine pulled m
Chapter 125Silas' pov"Did your wolf really lead you to me?" Scarlett asked as she stared at me with wide eyes and I nodded."I went to the seer to find you and Jax was restless within me the whole time. Gary advised me to listen to my wolf and when I did he took control and led me straight to you," I revealed and Scarlett seemed shocked as she listened to me."Why did you come all the way here?" I asked as I looked around the burnt building when Scarlett remained silent."I don't have a wolf that I could say guided me," she began with a little shrug."But I just felt something nudging me this way and so I just kept on walking. I walked until I reached the front of the building and I instantly recognized it as the place in my dream. I'm sure Nora told you all about that," she said and I nodded."What happened while you were here? Why were you unconscious when I found you?" I probbed and Scarlett's lips turned downwards as she looked around."I don't know, I recalled some of my memori
Chapter 124Scarlett's povI slowly blinked into consciousness and the first thing I observed was Silas' steady heartbeat under my ear.I tried to move, but realized Silas' limbs were tangled with mine, and heat rose all the way to my cheeks as I recalled the events of the night, from the wee hours of the morning.Silas had been insatiable and truthfully, so had I. I was scared to let the magical night end; I was ready to return to my reality, where I couldn't have Silas. But the glorious sun slowly rose in the distance and shone on us through the window.A tear slid down my cheek and fell onto Silas' chest as I knew it was over, whatever this had been was over and now Silas and I had to return to our respective lives.Silas groaned beneath me as he slowly came through and his arm tightened around my waist Before I could comprehend what was happening he flipped me over and hovered above me while my back was on the floor."Good morning," I muttered shyly as I struggled to look anywhere
Chapter 123Scarlett's povSilas took a slow step towards me and every instinct in me was urging me to take one back and create some much-needed distance between us but I ignored it and stood my ground until Silas was merely a hairsbreadth away from me."Do you have any idea how worried Nora was about you? How worried was I about you?" He growled out and my heart dropped.That had not been what I had been expecting him to say, at all."Could you possibly imagine the torment I was under not knowing if you were alright or if the rogues had captured you?" He asked and I opened my mouth to speak but his sharp eyes warned me off."How could you be so selfish and foolish?" He growled and my nostrils flared."I wasn't foolish, I was-" I began to defend myself but Silas wrapped his arm around my waist and drew me closer to him, effectively shutting me up."Sil-" I tried again but this time he shut me up with his lips which descended onto mine in a bruising kiss.I groaned under the pressure o
