LOGINChapter 139Scarlett's povI let out a loud sigh as I stared at the note in front of me. No matter how much I tried to connect the little dots I had together, it just didn't make any sense.Asher seemed genuinely blank when I had shown him the letter, not even a twitch of an eye. He would have been panicked that I had the note and could decide to show it to Silas at any time, but he was just calm.Did he think I couldn't push through with my threats to gather more evidence and reveal his plans to Silas?Or was he merely so sure I would never find enough evidence to pin him down?On a second thought, I couldn't understand why Asher of all people would have wanted me dead. What exactly was his motive? If he had planned to get rid of me and make it easier to kill Silas and take over the throne shouldn't he have done it by now?Silas would have been especially weak after my death so why hadn't he seized the opportunity?"Scar you won't believe-" Nora barged into my room and I hastily put
Chapter 138Silas' pov"The elders of the council wish to speak to you," Asher announced as he barged into my office and I dropped the pen in my hand I stared at him with an arched brow."We just spoke about barging into my office unannounced a few days ago," I reminded him but Asher didn't seem in the best mood as his nostrils flared and his chest rose and fell heavily."What's wrong?" I inquired as I slowly rose from my chair but Asher shook his head."It's nothing you need to worry about," he assured me and I merely nodded."What would you think of someone coming into this pack with ulterior motives?" Asher asked out of the blue and I cocked my head to the side as I assessed him."Your mate had ulterior motives when she came into this pack?" I asked as that was the only scenario I could imagine that would make Asher as angry as he looked."Of course not. Aria is too sweet and gentle to harbour any of that," he told me hurriedly and my features instantly relaxed."Then who are you t
Chapter 137Scarlett's povI snatched my hand back and glared at Asher who had a similar fire in his eyes."What do you think you are doing?" I gritted out as he approached me slowly."You aren't going to get away with a lame excuse Scarlett. Why are you so interested in Elara's death and most especially why are you interested in whatever I said about her after she died?" Asher inquired."What does it matter to you? Are you scared I'll uncover the truth and find out what you did?" I asked but Asher's brows creased as he stared at me."What are you talking about?" He questioned and I scoffed in disbelief."You don't have to pretend with me Asher, I saw the note in the library," I announced as I watched his face closely but his expression never changed."I pushed Silas to embrace his feelings for you but it seems I was wrong about you. What is your motive? Why did you come to this pack?" Asher asked and my nostrils flared."Really Asher? You would rather try to turn the tables on me tha
Chapter 136Scarlett's povA note slipped from the book and my brows furrowed as I bent and picked it up. What was it with the library and harbouring secret notes?I shook my head as I unfolded the note and scanned its contents.My lips parted in shock as I read the note till the end. I scanned the back of the note but there was no sender address but it was addressed to...Asher.Just as I had been suspecting Asher had a hand in my framing and death.The letter showed that this was merely a reply to whatever Asher had sent the other person. Just as I had thought whoever did this wasn't working alone.I clutched onto the note tightly as I tried to make sense of what was on the piece of paper.'The Luna has been executed as planned Beta, the only thing left now is the disposal of Alpha Silas.' the note simply read and it didn't take a genius to know who the 'beta' was...The library door pushed open and I quickly hid the note in my pocket just as Aria strolled into the room."Scarlett, a
Chapter 135Silas' povA small smile made its way onto my lips as I took a spoon from the vanilla cake Scarlett had brought me.My blood rushed south as I recalled how Scarlett had blushed prettily and how she had looked like she was about to melt on the spot when Asher came in.A part of me understood why she wanted to keep our relationship under wraps for now. Still, the larger part of me wanted to be able to touch her freely whenever I pleased and not get embarrassed if we were caught in a compromising situation.A knock broke through my thoughts and I called out to whoever it was to come in.Asher made his way into my office with a smirk planted on his lips.He cleared his throat as he took a seat in front of me and I wanted to wipe off the smug grin on his lips."Well that was definitely an interesting sight," Asher commented and I growled."When did this happen? Before you left to go and find her or after?" He probbed and I knew he was taking immense pleasure from this."Why did
Chapter 134Scarlett's povI bit my lips as I stared down at the cake I had baked for Silas. It was still a bit early so I decided to wait so I wouldn't seem overeager but I did want to see him as soon as possible, especially since he hadn't come to my room last night and I had shamefully waited up for him.I pushed the disappointment I had felt aside as I picked up the cake and headed towards his office.I gulped as I knocked and when his gruff reply came from the other side of the door, I made my way into the room."Good morning," I mumbled as I paced the cake in front of Silas and he stared from it to me."I brought you a little something," I bit my lip as I shuffled awkwardly on my feet.Silas's lips stretched into a wide grin and he rose from his chair and approached me.His arms circled my waist and he drew me to him."You didn't have to," he muttered as his head rested in the crook of my neck and he inhaled deeply."Did you just sniff me?" I asked through giggles and I could fe
