Scarlett 46 From Garland
Clay We left the apartment and went outside. The stench of the box's content was real, and I knew it was something rotten or dead. Maybe an animal. I wondered why Garland would send us a parcel with a letter. I also wondered why we did not get news of the attacks until the morning. Had they wiped out the settlements, or had the people there worked against us? Normally they should have reached us during the attack so we could send backup. The silence meant it was planned meticulously, and the people had actively chosen the Eastern Alpha over us. We were indeed a joke. Thinking of it, we were the only Valkin Alphas in history that bent to our people's will. Thanks to our parents, our authority was limited when they had the bright idea of sharing out responsibility with a biased narrow-minded council. The fact that war took our families from us, the three of us avoided it at all costs and always opted for a peaceful resolution even when it would cost us. It was this attitude that m
Scarlett 47 Trying To Bond
Scarlett I lay in Keith's arms in bed while he caressed my back. I had never experienced heat before but was glad I didn't experience it alone. My wolf had come, and I was still yet to process what had happened to me. Her name is Midnight, and she had tried to claim Keith as her mate. I fought her. As much as I felt a strong pull to Keith, I still felt like I was doing something wrong. I knew it was just a residual feeling I had for my mates, and I hoped it would go away soon because Keith was a great guy, and I was glad to be with him. "Should they bring us something to eat?" He asked me gently and kissed the top of my head. I moved away from his chest and sat up. "Let's eat in the dining room," I said, and he chuckled and sat up, then pulled me close to his body. "You smell delicious, Scarlett. Even I can't control myself right now," He said and nibbled my neck. His touch sent shocks of pleasure throughout my body, building up an ache in my pussy. "Don't you know every male
Scarlett 48 A Little Fun with Foe
Scarlett My heat returned with a vengeance, and Keith placed me on my hands and knees and started ramming into me fast. He was doing all he could to satisfy me. I hoped our bond would form eventually because I did not want to lose something this beautiful. He was perfect for me. All my mates gave me was pain. They made me loathe myself and my heritage. Lucian made me feel ugly, and they quickly believed outsiders over me. Not once did they try to make it work at their expense. Everything they did was at my expense. There was no way I would keep my bond with them. I wanted Keith. He was good to me. He was good for me. He accepted my flaws and all and has loved me genuinely since we met. I could not leave him. We spent the whole day fucking. I wouldn't say making love, even though that was how Keith saw it, but my heat made it primal. My wolf and I enjoyed every bit of it, and Keith was up to the task. Neither of us was exhausted. We showered, played, and then fucked when the heat r
Scarlett 49 Martha
Scarlett I sat still, battling the pull to my mate. Why was it so strong? Lucian's bond was tugging the hardest, and the weird part was that I was the one pulling. "What is this, Midnight?" I asked my wolf. "Mate," She said in response, a bit off. I sat still for almost forty minutes, and when the pull became too much to bear, I decided to leave the room. There was no way Keith would be mad about this. I had the right to move about the place. "Are we going to our mates?" Midnight asked me, and I sighed. "We are going to the kitchen for a snack and drink. Maybe that would ease the feeling of discomfort. Our mates are far away, and you know it won't be wise to show up there. Their people might lynch us for escaping their terrible punishment for us," I told my wolf, and she rescinded. I was angry, and I hoped there was a switch I could flip to stop me from feeling anything towards the three idiots, but there wasn't any. My emotions and pain were mine to bear alone. No matter how
Scarlett 50 Begging
Scarlett It could not be; the three of them were in the mansion? I stared at Martha. "They forced you here?" I asked her, and she shook her head. "They begged me to plead with you for forgiveness and ask you to come home. I was the one that decided to see you privately while they discussed matters with Keith," she said, and I realised why Keith did not want me to leave the room. He did not trust that I could keep my senses with them around. "I am not returning to hell, Martha. I am sorry. I won't return to where I was treated like shit. A place where no one cared or respected me. Where my father was hated, and people plotted against me. Where my mates were the source of my pain, I cannot go back there, Martha." I said and stood up. I planned to face the three of them to let them know they had come to waste their time and they should leave. I no longer want to be their object of torment. "Please, Scarlett. The East is at war with us. They aren't focused at all. They are spending
Scarlett 51 A difficult Goodbye
Scarlett Clay looked at me with hope in his eyes. He expected me to say something, but I had nothing to say. I had broken someone's heart for their sake. I knew magic was part of the reason Keith and I clicked, and now that he had pulled his magic away completely. I felt nothing for him. My pain for my mate's betrayal returned. Keith's magic had dulled the pain to the point that it was non-existent, but now it was back. It caused an instant emptiness in me. I guess that was what Keith was suppressing with his love and magic. I felt the mate pull, and Midnight was tugging hard. I was able to control her eventually, but it wasn't easy. My body wanted them; it craved them. It was as if I needed to feed. I would lie if I said I felt nothing towards them, but what they did to me in the north made me bury every ounce of love I felt towards them. With Keith out of the picture, the love I buried was rearing up its head, and it was out of my control. I was angry and afraid. I was worried
Scarlett 52 Frozen
Scarlett. My luggage was packed, and Keith escorted me outside. I saw Lucien's jeep at the entrance and noticed a black van at the back. The Van had a western number plate meaning it belonged to Keith. I looked at Keith, a bit confused, still holding on to his hand, unwilling to let go. Afraid of what awaits me in a Redcape. There was Jealousy in my mates' eyes, but they dared not speak. "Your clothes are in the Van, and I packed an extra gift for you. I have instructed your mates not to show you until you get home," He said, kissing the top of my head. "Remember to practice meditation and magic. If you have any issues with focus and wielding, I am only a phone call away," He said, and I nodded. He gently let go of my hand and walked back in. Tears streamed down my cheeks, realising I might never see him again. I did not trust my mates, but I had no choice. "Where would you like to sit," Lucian asked me with a meek voice, and I scowled at him. "As far away from you as possible,
Scarlett 01 Unintentionally (Prologue)
Scarlett. The slap came down hard on my face. I had been tied to a post for display. I could not look at their faces. They were angry. I knew they would never forgive me for what I had done. I had no choice, but I needed to get away. The suffering and mixed emotions I was forced to endure were too much. I had reached my limits. Lucian had humiliated and hurt me the most. He had caused me to go through unspeakable pain, and Clay and Maxwell had let him get away with it. Even though I knew My father was a terrible person, I wasn't like him. Why was I being forced to pay for his crimes? They had taken everything from me. All I had left was my life, and I knew they would take that too if I weren't careful. They claimed to be Valkin Alphas, but they were cowards. They were taking out their anger and vengeance on an innocent girl with no wolf. I hated them, and I hated the fact that I was fated to them. I do not regret what I did and would do it again if the opportunity presented itself.
