Alpha Carlos POV. They looked at me dangerously as they paced towards me in a circular form. They were twenty in number.They all attacked me at once, kicking me and landing blows on my body. I howled and pushed them off my body with anger. " How dare you all attack me?!" I roared angrily, my voice sliced through the air like a dagger. My eyes changed to red as I was boiling with rage, my wolf screamed to take over and devour them all. They all took a step backward and trembled with fear. " He's alone, attack him!!" Their leader encouraged them and they all charged towards me. I angrily held one and sliced his throat with my claws, pushing his lifeless body away while I collected his sword from him. I howled and allowed my wolf to take over completely. The one behind me stabbed me in my thigh and I winced in pain. I spun around and slashed his throat, throwing his lifeless body at those who were running towards me, causing them to fall. I didn't give them time to recover when I
Scarlett's POV I wept uncontrollably as the guards dragged me to a small room in the servant quarters. The room was so small just like a rat hole with nothing there apart from the small wooden bed at the end of the room. My heart weighed heavy in my chest as hot tears of agony kept spewing down my face. I can't imagine how life has been so cruel to me. At a young age, I lost my mother, my step mother that was supposed to give me a motherly love detest me, and my mate who was supposed to stood my me and protect me was the one that was now inflicting more pains on me. "What have I done? Why is life so cruel to me?" I asked myself, chocking on my words as tears and snot run down my face. I can't take it anymore, the humiliation was too much for me to bear but I don't have anywhere else to go. I sucked in more air as the pain moved into my chest. The pain was suffocating, a physical ache that matched the torment in my heart. I wiped my tears and sat down on the wooden bed, trying
Scarlett's POV " Derik!!" Alpha Carlos groans, calling out the guards. you could hear the pain in his voice and I felt my heart ache in pain. "Let her in," he ordered and the guard bowed his head to me in respect as he opened the door for me. I froze to the ground as soon as I stepped into the room, unable to move my legs with my heart thumping in my chest when my gaze fell on him, lying on his bed. He wasn't wearing anything apart from his pants. His thigh was tied with a bandage and a faint of blood visible on it. Our eyes interlocked and my heart skipped a beat. I didn't know what to say as all I could do was just stare at him with different thoughts running through my head. I wish he could see that all that happened to me wasn't my fault. I wish he would apologize and love me the way he used to. He would see Jane for who she truly was and send her away while we lived happily together with our children. My heart clenched in pain when I realized that all these were just a wis
Scarlett's POVThe feeling of someone touching my face and my hair woke me up from sleep.I forced my eyes open and I saw Alpha Carlos, staring at me with a smile on his handsome face that made butterflies dance in my stomach. I can't believe I slept on the same bed with Alpha Carlos. This was the first time Alpha Carlos and I would ever sleep on the same bed and the feeling was overwhelming. I wish we could remain like this. " Good morning, your Highness." I greeted him almost in a whisper. " Morning, my sunshine. Hope you slept well?" He asked, removing a strand of hair from my face. I felt an electric jolt from his touch and I shivered, making him smile at me. "How was your thigh, hope it doesn't hurt that much?" I asked, " It has healed already. You can check for yourself if you want," he said and I blushed. " I mind-link the maids to bring our breakfast to my room," he informed me and I looked at him in disbelief.Am I dreaming? What's with the sudden change in his attitu
Scarlett's POVI ran to my room in the servant quarters and threw myself on the wooden bed.Why me?! Why can't I be happy for once?" Arh," I squeezed my chest and groaned in pain, pleading with the goddess to ease the pain in my heart as it became so unbearable and suffocating.The sound of the wooden door that was pushed open snapped me out of my thoughts. My heart leaped in my chest as I navigated my eyes at the door to see who it was. The head maid, Leah stepped in with two other maids, holding a bucket and a mop, glaring at me with disgust. " Why are you still here?" Leah asked angrily. I was confused by what she was saying, " How do you mean?" I asked, wiping the tears off my face with the back of my palm. "Aren't you supposed to be outside working like other maids? " she asked, levitating her left brown. " Maybe she thought that she's still the spoiled princess in her father's pack." one of the maids added and they all laughed. "Oh, how can you speak to our dear Luna lik
Scarlett's POV" Where is the food that I have to choose from?" I asked as she stepped into the kitchen and dropped the dishes on the sink." What are you holding?" she gazed at me with disgust."Leftover, I guess." What I was holding can not be called food. It was cold and looked irritating. She turned her gaze at me, cleaning her hands with a towel. " Well, what you referred to as leftovers is your meal and you will choose one between the rice balls and the loaf of bread." " What! Do you realize that I haven't eaten anything since morning?" I asked as I felt my knees weaken and my stomach grumbling out of hunger. " Oh, I didn't know my princess. What would you like to have?" Her expression shows how serious she was and I felt grateful to her because I was famished. " Uhm, I would like to have pasta with scrambled eggs and fruit juice." I was salivating already. This was my favorite food and I can't wait to have it She cupped her mouth and guffawed loudly, looking at me mockin
Scarlett's POV" I... I wasn't sleeping, I was just taking a rest." I stuttered, " You are just what? Taking a rest? Why are you such a lazy ass? I asked you to wash clothes and you are telling me that you are taking a rest?"" Jane, watch what you say to me! I'm your elder sister and I deserve some respect from you!" I yelled, my frustration boiling over." You dare talk back while I am talking? have you forgotten your place?" she asked with terror, her eyes boiling with anger. " Why are you doing this to me? What wrong have I done to you?" I choked on my words as my heart clenched with pain, making breathing difficult for me. "You don't know what you've done?" she asked, squeezing her face with anger. " You took everything from me!! You took father's love from me! I was made a laughing stock when a wolfles wolf like you was mated with an Alpha while I have a guard as my mate." " How was that any of my fault? Father loves you and you know it!" " No, he only loves you. I'm going
Scarlett's POV " Where are you, Scarlett ?" I heard Felix's voice in my head. A feeling of relief washed over me when I heard his voice. " I'm in the kitchen. I was asked to prepare a meal for Alpha Carlos but I didn't have any idea on how to go about it. Can you be of help?""Sure, I will be there in a jiffy." I was glad at least, there was someone who was going to help me but at the same time, I was nervous. I don't know if Leah was going to allow him into the kitchen. I was pacing forth and back nervously in the kitchen when Felix arrived. " Thank goddess that you are here. How did they allow you inside the kitchen?" I asked because I've never seen a guard entering the kitchen before except it's on the Alpha's order. " Don't worry, I have my way," he replied with a grin. " So, where do we start from?" He asked, lifting the sleeves and rubbing his palms together. I looked at him sadly, " I don't know. I have never cooked in my life before." " Don't worry, we could make som
