She has at least succeeded in her profession. During the time that she has been here, she has worked hard and attended all of her classes and training that have been offered to her. She's moved up from nursing assistant trainee to where she is now, overseeing nursing services.

Sometimes, when she thinks back to the day she came here—fresh off the pack, green, and nervous. It feels like it's been forever and not five years at all. It was so hard at first. What little money she had with her wasn't nearly enough. Her father did try to help as much as he could, but she never let him know just how bad it was. Without work, she could not pay for an apartment or even buy food. She had worked two weeks sleeping during the day in her car and nights working on the clean-up team of the local cinema prior to the clinic job. She shudders remembering the flavor of the stale popcorn that she begged out of the buckets every night. She can't picture herself ever being able to have popcorn again.

    Scarlett blinks in surprise, stirring her tea before she can answer. "No."There had been a time when she had thought peace with the River Pack was impossible.Her father clears his throat."Oh, well, there was an agreement reached—between the Alphas," he clarifies.Scarlett's curious. She wants to know whether Landon was involved in orchestrating this peace agreement. If so and the River Pack keeps their word, it will be an excellent coup for their entire pack, and for Landon."what kind of deal was struck?" She asks, wanting him to tell her what she's after without her having to flat-out ask.He’s silent for a minute. “It’s Alpha business, I’m sure more information will come out once it’s finalized,” he says, finally.Scarlett feels like her father might be hiding something from her, but she doesn’t push it. It’s getting late and her tea is cold.“Good night, Dad,” she says, with a yawn. Once the call is disconnected, she starts her own nighttime routine.Just as she’s finishing was

    Come in, child," she says, moving aside to let Scarlett in her home.Her father stands behind her, her mother sitting on the couch, her eyes red."What happened?" Scarlett insists. "Did someone die? What's wrong?""Landon," Rowa says, leading Scarlett to the recliner and pushing her into it. "When did you last see Scarlett?Scarlett stares at her. "Scarlett? This morning, at breakfast. Not an hour ago!"She nods. "Did she ever say anything unusual to you or act in any way different than usual?"Scarlett stares at her blankly and tries to think hard to understand why Rowa of all people is questioning her thus.No… Scarlett answers haltingly. "She was kinda quiet, but she hasn't been sleeping. She ate her toast and eggs. She hugged me goodbye, we talked about me bringing home a pie. Is she okay? Something to her?"Her heart is racing, and she feels sick inside at the thought of something happening to Scarlett.Her mother leans in and places a hand on her arm."Scarlett left the pack thi

    The smell of burnt toast and eggs met her when she emerged from the bathroom, a subtle hint that Landon was trying, in his own way. His cooking had been.an experience. But he was trying, and it was hard not to be hopeful about that.When she came into the kitchen, Landon was dishing scrambled eggs onto a plate, his back to her. He never cooked before, and it showed, but the last two weeks he'd been insisting on trying. Looking at him, so normal, so domestic, tugged at her heart. She almost wanted to believe things could be different. Almost."Morning," he said, turning around to her. He was holding the plate up proudly and her eyes widened when she saw that the table was set, even with fresh flowers. "You look beautiful today."His broad smile was awkwardly sincere, right up to the corners of his eyes. She tried a feeble smile in return."Morning," she said, taking a seat at the table.He set a full plate in front of her and they both fell silent for a bit. She pushed the eggs around

    "Even if two hearts are bound by destiny, they remain free to choose their own route, make their own choices. The Moon Goddess may provide us with the direction, but to tread it.that's up to us. You must make the choice to seize your destiny. You did, but Landon didn't."His voice was gentle, yet firm as well, and he created soft designs on her spine.But what am I gonna do, then?" she cried. "I've been waiting. I've been ready. I've held on even when it hurts…I chose him! Time and time again, I chose us, but he doesn't choose me.""I just." She choked on her words for a second before continuing. "I just wanted us to be happy."."And you can still be," he told her softly, cleaning her tears away with his thumb. "Though perhaps it's time that you think of your happiness not necessarily involving Landon. Whatever you decide to do, sweetheart, I'll stand behind you."Profoundly painful as this was, she knew there was truth in what he said.Her stomach growled and she squirmed, uncomforta

    Last night, Scarlett Axel thought that they had finally connected as mates. What had started out as a confrontation and another evening coping with their strained relationship had become something more than she could ever have hoped.Tenderness. Tlc. Desire.She took a chance and opened up to him, offering not only her body but part of herself.If he did not want that, did not want her, why had he hugged her so gently last night? How could he have faked kissing her like that?She sobbed as she remembered the way he'd held her when she'd come on top of him, her own pleasure engulfing them both.For one stunning moment, she thought he'd finally chosen her.She thought that's why it ached so achingly.She took a trembling breath and returned his smile. His scent on the shirt, mixed with pine, wet earth, and the unmistakable odors of their pack boundary markers, filled her senses.At least she was still on Bakin land.When she went out this morning, she wasn't paying attention to where sh
