SCARLETT

Demi’s reflection was sharp in the mirror, her eyes swollen and red, ll she had been crying before I even walked in. But there was nothing weak about the way she held herself.

She didn’t answer my question. She silently cleaned her wet hands on the towel and tossed it aside, turning slightly so I could see the glare on her face.

“Stay away from Caleb,” she said at last, her voice was edged with threat. “If you value your life, if you value even a shred of yourself,you’ll stay away from him.”

The words were surprising. I had absolutely nothing to do with him. I blinked, stunned as I searched for what to respond with.

“What?” The word came out as little more than a breath.

Her gaze didn’t soften. “You heard me. If you loved yourself at all, you would stay far away from him.”

My throat felt dry. The accusation in her tone made something sharp twist inside me, I was angry and exhausted. “I don’t want anything to do with either of you,” I snapped.

A bitter smile curled her lips,

  • Pregnant For The Enemy Alpha    Pain

    CARDANPain.It was the first thing I knew when I clawed my way back to consciousness. A deep, splitting ache at the back of my skull, pulsing like it was alive. My fingers twitched against the cold stone, and when I tried to move further, a sharp burn went across my wrists.I hissed through my teeth. Silver.The smell of burnt skin filled the room and the place where the iron met skin sizzled like fried meat. The pain was enough to force my eyes open. I could barely see anything in the half dark room. Why was I bound up here?I tried to piece together everything. Scarlett. The chaos. Rogues. Caleb.My chest tightened at the memory of the betrayal, but before I could chase it, another spike of agony went through my skull. My hand instinctively jerked toward the wound at the back of my head, but the chains dragged me short.I gritted my teeth. Whoever had struck me hadn’t done it to kill me. They wanted me alive.Something was off.If it had been Caleb’s men, they would have ended me

  • Pregnant For The Enemy Alpha    Loss

    SCARLETT DRIP. DRIP. DRIP. The incessant drops of rain resounded in the room. It was the sound of retired rain after a heavy downpour. But this sounded too close. Too strange.It filled the room, accompanied by a strong metallic smell that caused my nose to wrinkle. It was a familiar smell that brought back ugly memories.Memories of war. Pain. Loss.The pain in my stomach twisted hard, sharper than before. It spread lower, hooking into my pelvis like claws. I gasped, curling in on myself, trying to hold it in.I reached down. My fingers came away slick with a wet red color.My brain refused it at first. Anything but what it was. But it was blood. My blood.“No…” The whisper left me broken.The next wave of pain crashed. My body seized and my throat tore with a scream I couldn’t stop.“My baby!”I clutched my stomach, begging for what I didn't know. Begging for some sort of salvation.“My baby. My baby!” The blood dropped from in between my legs to the floor in the haunting drip so

  • Pregnant For The Enemy Alpha    Flight

    SCARLETTIf I waited for someone to knock the door down, I'd be dead before any help arrived. I picked up my phone immediately, turning on the location. That should help her find me.I went to the window with hands that wouldn’t stop shaking. The latch was stiff but obedient. Outside, the parking lot lay empty, a single puddle catching the neon from the sign across the street.I should have thought it through but I didn’t. I moved because like they say idleness was the devil's workshop.I flicked the blanket from the bed and tied a knot in the middle, fingers fumbling until the fabric made something like a rope.I swung one leg over the sill, breath caught in my throat. My knuckles burned from clutching the makeshift rope.The blanket slipped once and my stomach sank. Goddess help me.Don’t look down. Just move. I changed the mantra in my head.I eased out inch by inch, the fabric biting into my palms. My pulse hammered in my ears, louder than the blood rushing through me.CRASH. Th

  • Pregnant For The Enemy Alpha    The Bounty

    SCARLETT“Who do I call?”Tears blurred my vision as I whispered into the empty room. I was alone. Utterly, terrifyingly alone.By the time I reached the first town, my body ached from walking.Cassian had given me money just enough to get by for a night. I had found a run-down motel tucked between a tavern and a boarded shop. The woman at the desk didn’t ask questions when I shoved cash across the counter, just slid me a key with a chipped brass tag.The room was small, but it was enough.I stripped and stepped into the bath. The water wasn’t hot, but let it run over my skin, washing away the dirt, the fear. My body floated in the shallow tub, but my mind wouldn’t stop racing.I had no allies left. My so-called friends had turned away long ago. My family was nothing but ash scattered in the snow.Harley. Cassian. Caleb. Cardan. My fingers hovered over the screen, In one day, I had lost everything again. My plans, my freedom, my hope. Caleb had destroyed my past and now he would no

  • Pregnant For The Enemy Alpha    Harley Returns

    SCARLETTMY HEART WAS STILL POUNDING AS I PACED AROUND THE ROOM, trying to comprehend the quick succession of events. It had been a long time since I’d felt like a failure, and a much longer time since I’d been in a physical altercation with a man over the issues of the heart. The one time it happened, I had lost everything. And ended up pregnant with the enemy's child. All I'd done so far was purely to survive. Wasn't our arrangement purely transactional?It was too little to cause that strong reaction from him.The genuine expression of hurt on his face made my heart sink at its contrast in my life. This man was always so two-faced and dismissive. He usually gave a shit. Why did he have that look on his face?I watched him reach outside before I locked the door in tight, making sure I put the bolt across.He would come back for me. I was sure.I moved before I could think.Down the stairs, heart in my throat. I searched the corridors, the courtyard, the stables, everything was e

  • Pregnant For The Enemy Alpha    We Could Never

    CARDANI should have killed him. I wanted to kill him.But when he stumbled back, and I saw her pressed against the wall, trembling, wide-eyed, my fury fractured.I saw the way she looked at me. With pity. With shame.I straightened, blood dripping from my claws, my chest heaving. I turned to Caleb.“Take her. Take your wife. And get out of my sight.”He blinked, staggered, stunned. But then his hand reached for her.“Fucking bastard!”He was flung across the room towards the door that splintered into nothing as he landed on it.“Take your wife Demi and leave!”He scrambled off the floor and dragged himself away, muttering some curse words. All I wanted to do in the moment was to have him stay in the dungeon.I heaved, my chest burning like fire in a furnace, the room spinning with the scent of blood and betrayal. My claws retracted slowly, aching as though they, too, resisted leaving the fight behind.Now it was just her. And me.She stood frozen against the wall, trembling, her face
