Scarlett.I spent the entire day getting acquainted with how the pack house was run. Since I was going to be luna, it was only wise for me to take up the reins. Lucian had insisted, and I had obliged. I wasn't confident in them yet, but my doubts and mistrust quickly faded. I hoped we get together eventually and love each other. The fact that my wolf hadn't come bothered me, and I knew once I turned nineteen and she was a no-show, then being wolfless would be official. I knew I wouldn't be able to do much as a wolfless wolf. I hoped that whatever the goddess had in store for me was good. I was nervous about what they would find at the seer's, and I wished I followed them, but I didn't want to seem clingy, so I let it rest. I noticed the pack house workers didn't like me much, and being a Vladislav was one of the reasons. I tried to smile through the hostility. I was grateful that they could not act out their feelings. I wanted to understand my mates' eating preferences, so I went to
Scarlett. The pain lasted a while. The voice was faint, and with it came a sharp pain that felt like someone using a blunt saw to cut through my skull. The pain was excruciating, and I doubted I could do anything about it. I laid fetus-style on the floor, holding my head tightly and weeping, wishing something would take away the pain. Soon I got tired and passed out. I woke up on a soft bed. Looking around, I realised I was in Lucian's bedroom. I managed to sit up and felt a banging effect in my head. "Are you up?" I heard a voice in my head. I was yet to get the hang of the mind link, but I was trying. "Yes," was all I could manage, and I heard footsteps approaching. Lucian entered with a glass of water in his hands. "Goddess!" he exclaimed when he saw me, and I kept wondering what the matter was. "What is it?" I managed to ask him, unsure what made him react that way. He sat beside me, handing me the glass of water and painkillers. I swallowed the pills and drank the water imm
Scarlett. "Please," I moaned with tears of bliss streaming down my cheeks. "Mine," I heard Vinn growl as he sank his teeth into the sweet spot on my neck. An orgasm ripped through my body. "Ahhhh," I cried, and he kept his teeth in as he began to pump fervently, growling and groaning. "Mine," he kept saying, and the orgasm ripped through me. I felt the cord connecting us thicken and tighten. It was strong and permanent. He pulled out his teeth and licked the wound. On instincts, I bit down on his sweet spot. It was hard breaking the skin, but the organism washing through me gave me the strength to sink my human teeth into his sweet spot. He held me tightly, and I felt his cock, pulsate inside me. I sucked on his mark and felt weak immediately. Clay laid me gently on the bed and pulled himself out of me. I knew the weakness I felt was because I was wolfless in nature. My body still wanted more regardless of the lack of energy. I knew it was because we were yet to complete the bond.
Scarlett. Gregory Olsen walked in with his men, and I had a foreboding. I did not know why I had a strange feeling, but I felt weird and worried. He locked eyes with me and looked at me as if he was enthralled by me. "Careful," the voice in my head said, and it came with sharp pain. I flinched, and I felt something warm in my nostrils. Touching my nose, I looked at my hand and saw blood. I took out my handkerchief and wiped it away quickly before my mates could notice. I was grateful that it didn't come with a migraine. " Gregory," Lucian said, snapping him out of it, and he apologised and looked at my mate immediately. "Good day, Alpha Lucian. It is a pleasure to be in Redcape." He said, bowing, and Lucian nodded. He went ahead to greet Maxwell and Clay and locked eyes with me again. It was quite uncomfortable. "And who is the beauty that sits with you?" He asked Lucian, and I heard Tiger growl. Of all my mates, Lucian was the most possessive and jealous. "Gregory, meet our Luna
Lucian As much as I needed Gregory's assistance to help with commerce in the north, I did not like seeing him flirt with Scarlett. She was also being too nice to him. I knew it would be wrong to scold her in his presence, so I bore it. I did not feel relief until she stylishly refused to dance with him. I did not know why I should be worried. Scarlett was ours, but I was nervous and concerned. The guy seemed smitten by her. We used to say Scarlett wasn't attractive, but lack of care caused it. Now that she was cared for, she looked stunning. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and I wasn't saying this because of the mate bond. She had gained some weight, and she looked voluptuous. Everything about her could drive a man crazy. Gregory was being sleazy by trying to sell the western dream to her. She was smart enough not to reveal her bloodline, but she was obviously a southerner. Her tanned skin and dark wavy hair said it all. Gregory was sleazy. He knew northern and so
Scarlett. I shook under the shower; even though my mates held me, something deep down told me things would never be the same again. I did not invite the bastard into my room, nor did I sleep with him, but in the eyes of everyone, that was what happened. How was I going to prove my innocence? Finally, something they had accused me of seemed to have happened, and I did not know what to do. I cried a bit, and Lucian dried me up with his towel and took me to his bedroom. The others followed, and I could feel their pain and distraught. "What do we do, Lucian?" Maxwell asked, and I dreaded what was to come. It was only natural they asked Lucian because Redcape was his turf and Gregory Olsen was his guest. "I don't know," Lucian said, running his frustrated fingers through his hair. "Fuck!" Lucian screamed in frustration. "This can't be happening, not now." He added, and I knew what was to come would be worse. "We can't subject her to the law," Clay said, sounding worried, and Lucian l
Scarlett. They took me to the great hall, and I was shocked that was where the trial would be taking place. The woman dragged me to the centre, and I stood in chains. There were people in the great hall there to witness the trial. While others seemed worried or hateful, some were indifferent. I searched for my mates but couldn't find them. "They have secluded themselves from you. You are no longer their mate until proven innocent," Tasha said, and I looked in the direction of her voice. There was a small stage in front with five tall chairs. Old-looking people occupied each chair. I believed they were the elders. Tasha ascended and sat on the last chair on the left. In the centre was an older man who looked slightly like Lucian but had wicked eyes. How would these people know to go easy on me? "Do you know why you are here, Vladislav?" The man in the centre asked me, and I shook my head. "You slept with a guest and tried to get him to take you away from here after you have been cla
Scarlett. "If you wanted to leave, all you had to do was say so, Scarlett. You went too far," I finally heard Lucian in my head. He was angry. I sat in the dark room and welcomed it despite his angry tone. "I did not do it," I said. "Bianca has no reason to lie. We trust her with our lives. She has never drugged or poisoned us before. Her family has served ours for generations. She would never betray us," He said. "But I am a Vladislav, a tyrant's daughter," I said, and he was silent. "We will send you warm clothes and investigate. I want to believe you, Scarlett, but the evidence is damning. I had Bianca flogged, and she maintained the story. I threatened to cast her out, and she maintained the story, Scarlett. If you had told me. We would have let you go, and I would have gotten back with Stasia to ease the heartbreak. I might not love her, but I would have tried with her. You made me end that bond only to try to leave us, Scarlett," he said, sounding betrayed, and I began to cr
