Scarlett,When we were deep in the woods, Lucian put me down and began to take off his clothes. I averted my gaze immediately, and he chuckled. "Come on, don't act like you have never seen a naked man before," He said, and I felt my cheek colour. He looked at me when unbuckling his pants and then froze. I was worried about doing something, so I quickly turned around. He was silent, and I became scared. "Scarlett?" he said gently, and I felt him behind me. He wrapped his arms around me from behind and breathed in my scent. "Mint," he said, and I smiled. "Scarlett, are you shy?" He asked me, whispering in my ears, and I felt my body shudder. My core began to ache, and wetness pooled between my legs. He turned me around gently, and I could not look at him. I looked up, and he had a surprised look in his eyes. "Fuck!" he said and moved away from me. I became nervous. He turned to look at me, and his eyes were filled with tears. "Fuck!" he said again, a bit angry, and I stepped back.
Clay. I could not believe what Lucian had just said. He hated Scarlett. He planned on rejecting her and making her suffer. Of the three of us, he was the least I expected to accept her, but he had beat us to it. He had accepted his bond with her before us. What had happened? "How?" I asked, stunned. I let my bag drop to the floor because I was surprised. "The same reason why neither of you could let her go," he replied as honestly as he could manage. " I figured there was really no point holding a grudge towards her. Tiger wouldn't have it, and I knew I had no choice. I could not keep fighting the pull. The goddess tied us together for a reason. It has to be for good. I did not want to punish us anymore, so I decided I would man up and accept my mate. Besides, you two weren't the only ones fighting your feelings for Scarlett," he explained, and I was speechless. "What about the promise you made to your sister?" Maxwell asked him, and he shamefully looked away. Lucian had said and
Scarlett. "Are you up?" I heard Clay's voice in my head. I managed to get up from the bed and stretch my limbs, yawning. I looked out the window, and it was morning. I had a good night's sleep, but somehow I wished my mates were with me. However peaceful my sleep was, it was nothing compared to when Lucian cuddled me. "Are you up?" I heard Clay's voice in my mind again, and I smiled, maintaining my silence. He sounded cute. His voice was deep and appealing at the same time. It wasn't as deep as Lucian's, but it was seductive. My heart fluttered hearing him in my mind. "I am at your door, please open it, or I will break it down," Clay teased, and I giggled out loud and went to open the door. He looked hot in his blue jeans and white shirt. I sort of envied him. He could get away with his clothes because he had a wolf. It was freezing outside. Wolfless wolves like me need to be extra prepared so we don't freeze. He had a picnic basket in his hand, and I stepped aside and let him in.
Scarlett. Clay and I spent a while on the cliff, seeing a side of him I did not know existed. He was sweet and caring and assured me everything would be okay. I wasn't confident in his words because life had not been fair to me, but I hoped he was right. Every mistreatment and misunderstanding in my life would remain in the past. Soon it was late in the afternoon, and we packed up to leave. I held our belongings while I mounted Vinn to head back down. We rode back in silence, and I did not know what to expect when we got home. The pack members always gave me mean stares, but I kept it to myself. Clay had told me Redcape belonged to Lucian. Tealberg belonged to Maxwell, and the Highland mountain area belonged to Clay. They still owned more territories, and they ruled the parts together. I was glad to see their brotherly love. For Valkin Alphas, what they had was quite rare, and I hoped they would keep it. Maybe that was why the goddess gave them a mate to share. It might be in a bid t
Scarlett. My heart was pounding fast, unsure of what Maxwell wanted to do. I felt the cord that tied us tug, and my core ached some more. He spread my legs and growled, then bent to kiss my lips. No one had ever touched me there before, but the desire I felt took away the awkwardness. "So wet, Scarlett. Mint," he said, and I anticipated what he meant by pleasure. I felt his hot tongue on my mound, and I cried. He moved down my slit with his tongue until he reached my entrance. He circled my entrance with his tongue, and my body shuddered. "I won't push in too deep, I promise," he linked me, and I felt him place his finger in me. I moaned from pleasure, and I felt my core become wetter. What was he doing to me? Maxwell moved his tongue back to my mound and began to lick and suck it. "Goddess," I moaned, trying to handle my feelings. Soon he increased his speed a bit while probing my core with his finger. "So tight and sweet, Scarlett," he whispered and growled. "Mate," he said, an
Scarlett, There was a commotion in the corridor, and I heard people running. I sat up in bed, and I knew we were under attack. It was sudden, and I did not know what to do. Why hadn't my mates returned yet? I felt someone try my door, and when it didn't open, the person broke the lock. The man was huge, easily six feet six inches. I swallowed because his brown eyes had a murderous look in them. I did not know what to do. I wasn't a fighter. "Come here!" he roared at me, and I began to shake. What was happening? I heard something go off like a bomb, and I shook. The man seemed impatient and walked up to me and grabbed my hair. He began to drag me by it. It was painful, and I felt some strands come off the roots. "Please," I begged; the pain was blinding, and tears were in my eyes. "Is this the bitch?" The man said, and I looked at who they were asking. She was a staff member. They held a gun to her head, and she nodded immediately. "Time to pay for daddy's sins, Vladislav," the m
Scarlett. I held on to Lucian until he laid me on his bed in their apartment. Clay walked in wearing shorts while Lucian opened his dresser and took out a pair of shorts to wear. I sat up, but my back hurt a bit. I guess the whip injured me. I was still shaken by the event, and now that I knew I was safe, I began to cry. Clay held me. "It's okay, Scarlett; you are safe now," he held me. "The cook told them I was a Vladislav to save her skin. They wanted to take me away. Saying I was worth a lot in the slave market," I wept, and Lucian began to boil. I felt all their anger at once, which upset me, worsening my initial state of mind. Lucian started to growl angrily. "We need to move warriors to Redcape," Maxwell said, and I noticed Clay's eyes glaze over. He was linking someone. He was angry, and I figured it had to do with the bitch cook that felt her life and her daughter's life were more important than mine. Lucian sat beside me in his bed and took me from Clay. "Sorry, we we
Scarlett. My mates pleaded with me to move into their apartment, but I insisted on returning to mine. I knew if I moved back in, we would go all the way, and I wasn't ready yet. I wanted it, looked forward to it, but I wasn't ready. I did not know when I would be, but I hoped it would be soon. Lucian was the most heartbroken, and he offered to walk me back to my room. I thought Clay and Maxwell would follow us, but they remained. I opened my room and noticed the lock had not been fixed. "I will get someone to do that once I can. The settlement is in disarray. Getting someone from around here will be difficult." Lucian explained to me. It was cute watching him find the right words. "It's okay, Lucian. I can manage. I am just glad the women they tried to take are safe." I said and walked in. He followed me in, and I went straight to bed. " Clay said this rarely happens," I said, and he nodded, joining me in bed. I felt it was a bit weird, but I let him. I felt the pull toward him, an
