Scarlett 29 Conspiracy
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 30, Preparing For Trial
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 31 Betrayed
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 32 Unlucky
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
Scarlett 33 And She Ran Away
The Present Lucian. "Strip her bare and let the world see what is left of the Vladislav bloodline. Let them know that the king of the south is no more, and we own it all!" I ordered. Scarlett had hurt us in the worst way ever. She killed half of Redcape using the same mix she was accused of using on us. I could not even look at her. All our efforts to exonerate her had gone down the drain. How could she have been so stupid and wicked? Now I began to believe she actually did what Bianca claimed she did. We all had doubts initially, and we were investigating the issue. We remained on the go, trying to find Gregory so we could get a confession out of him and kill him in a way it wouldn't be linked to us. We hit a dead end but continued hunting for Gregory, and we were still yet to find him. Our plan was to find him, torture him, and send him away from the north after he had confessed. Our parents were the ones that gave the elders unnecessary power when they felt they would not be aroun
Scarlett 34 Freedom On The Way
Scarlett. I watched the crowd disperse, and the cold began to seep into my bones. They had left me out here to die. I did not mean to kill anyone. I just wanted to get away. I was tired of everything, and I wanted to get away. I looked around me, teeth chattering, hoping someone would take pity on me, but no one was there. Everyone had left. I was forgotten. Bet they were all waiting until I die and my corpse becomes frozen before they come and help. I wanted to tug at the mate bond, but how they looked at me before they left discouraged me. If they had doubts about Bianca's allegations, this was an apparent offence. I had indeed drugged the reservoir, and it had led to deaths. I was a mass murderer, and I did it all in desperation. When I was doing it, it seemed like a good idea. I just wanted them to sleep. I guess it wasn't everyone who could tolerate high doses of the pollen and wolfbane. It was a sad situation. I remained tied to the stake, praying to the powers that be to save
Scarlett 35 A Wall
Clay. I was going crazy. I could not control myself, and neither could my wolf. Why did we allow this? I was determined to go rogue by wiping the Elders out and forcing the people to accept Scarlett, but Lucian and Maxwell had to be diplomatic about it. They wanted us to exonerate her and make the people love her. Look where that landed us. When the guard took off her clothes, I could not even look at her. They weren't feeding her. They weren't fucking feeding her. We ordered the kitchen to give her three meals a day same as we ate, and they weren't feeding her. We would have known if we weren't busy hunting down the elusive Gregory. We made mistakes all the way. "Clay, you need to calm down; your eyes are red," Maxwell said, and I knew he wasn't calm either. This wasn't going to be good. Anything could happen to Scarlett out there. She wasn't safe. She was too naive and trusting to be out there alone. I slammed Maxwell against the wall with all my might. "You should have come with
Scarlett 36 Arrival In Woodshire
Scarlett. Ebenezer and I rode for a while. I slept a bit in the car. Images of what happened in the north still plagued my mind, but there was nothing I could do about it. I had never been so mistreated in my entire life. I thought my life with my father was cruel until David shipped me to the north. Thinking about my mates brought tears to my eyes. They treated me so badly for a crime I did not commit. I remembered everything they had promised me and realised they were all lies. To think Lucian was going to bring a bride there even though we were bonded. He wanted to make me suffer; I knew it. He left me to die in the cold because he could not end my life himself and Maxwell and Clay were part of it too. I actually thought I would have a life with them. I was wrong. I just prayed good things awaited me in the west. Clay, Lucian and Maxwell can rest and keep everything with me gone from the north and not going to the south. That was what they wanted anyway. They exerted their revenge
