LOGINScarlettVivienne stood in front of Atlas with her hands clasped so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.I had seen her angry, arrogant, and cruel. I had watched her manipulate people to get what she wanted, and I knew what she had done to Atlas. Yet the woman standing before us now looked exhausted, as though she had finally run out of lies to hide behind.“I came to confess,” she said.Atlas leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. “Then talk.”Vivienne swallowed. Her gaze flickered toward me before returning to him. “I was the one who stabbed you.” She confessed, her hands shaking as she spoke.The room went still.I felt Atlas’s hand tighten around mine, but he didn’t interrupt her.“I disguised myself and went to your ceremony with Seraphine. I used a poisoned dagger, and when I saw you fall, I thought you were dead.” Her voice trembled. “I was relieved when Ryker told me you had survived. I know how horrible that sounds, but I couldn’t bear the thought of car
Scarlett“You know, I still can’t believe Darius and Marcus are mates,” Atlas said, and I chuckled. He was lying on my chest, his head resting just below my chin while I ran my fingers through his hair. It had been a month since our son’s birth, and for the first time in a long while, life felt peaceful. My mother was still staying with us, helping me with the baby, while Zara had returned to LA because her family missed her terribly.I missed her already, but I couldn’t exactly blame them for wanting her back.“Why?” I asked, tugging lightly at Atlas’s hair. “Did you think the Moon Goddess would refuse to give them a chance at happiness?”“No.” He lifted his head to look at me. “I just never thought it was possible.”“Now you know.” I said and he shook his head, still looking amused. After the curse was broken, it seemed the Moon Goddess had decided to make up for all the years our pack had gone without fated mates. People were finding their partners everywhere, and the news had be
Atlas“What are you doing here?”I asked but neither of them said anything. They just stood at the doorway. Mother lowered her gaze, while Father stood beside her, his shoulders tense.“We came to see you, Atlas,” Mother said quietly. Her eyes drifted toward the baby in Diana’s arms. “We came to see our grandson.”“Then you should have stayed wherever you were before deciding to come here.” My voice was cold. “I told you I didn’t want to see either of you.”“Son, please.” Father took a step forward.“Don’t.” I moved between them and the bed, my wolf stirring beneath my skin. “You don’t get to call me that as though everything is fine.”“Did you really think I wouldn’t find out you helped Aldric take my mate from me? You knew what he intended to do, and you still went along with it.”“We never wanted you to lose her,” Mother whispered.I let out a bitter laugh. “You helped the man who kidnapped her! You handed the woman I love over to people willing to hurt her because you wanted to f
ScarlettIt’s been three days since the war and three days since I gave birth to our precious and perfect boy.Aldric and Seraphine remained in the dungeon. Darius and Marcus said they’d be there until Atlas had the time to decide their fate. Silverwood's injured warriors and the wolves affected were recovering well. Almost everything had gone back to normal again and we were enjoying our time as new parents.Although Atlas was yet to forgive his parents. He still blames them for everything that has happened so far and he claims that they were only being apologetic now because they found out I wasn’t a weak nobody like they thought.I was a strong she-wolf so now they thought I was befitting of their son. Valeria and Henrik had been begging to see their grandson since his birth but Atlas has refused every time.I couldn’t blame him though. They had helped Aldric kidnap me, and I wasn’t about to tell my mate how to handle his anger.At least, not yet.I was breastfeeding my son when
AtlasI had faced down an army, watched my pack nearly fall apart, and fought a man who had spent months trying to destroy everything I loved.But none of it had prepared me for the sight of my son in Scarlett’s arms.I stood beside her bed, afraid to touch him, afraid my bloodstained hands would somehow ruin the most precious thing I had ever seen. Scarlett watched me through tired eyes, her hair damp against her forehead, a faint smile tugging at her lips.“Are you going to stare at him all day, Alpha?” She asked and I let out a shaky laugh. “I’m trying to understand how someone so small can make me feel like my entire world has changed,” I replied. “Maybe because he has.”She adjusted the blanket around him, and my chest tightened. I had imagined this moment countless times during the months she carried him. I had imagined holding my son after the battle, bringing him home safely, watching him grow up strong enough to protect himself.I hadn’t imagined how completely he would un
Scarlett“Scarlett, it’s time. Your baby is almost here.”Althea’s voice barely reached me over the pounding of my heart. Another contraction tore through my body, and I cried out, crushing her hand between mine.“I can’t do this anymore!” I cried out. “Yes, you can.” She leaned closer, her expression firm despite the light spilling across the room. “Look at me, Scarlett. Your baby is coming, and I need you to push.”I wanted Atlas. Moon Goddess, I wanted my mate so badly it hurt almost as much as the contractions. He had promised he would come back to me, but the sounds of battle outside reminded me he was still fighting for our home, our pack, and the future we had promised our child.“He will come back. We have to bring our baby into the world first.” My wolf stirred inside me.I clung to her voice, took a shaky breath, and pushed.The pain was unbearable. My fingers dug into the sheets, and a scream ripped from my throat. Althea kept talking, guiding me through it while the he
ScarlettI stared at the man in front of me, not even bothered that I had just spat water directly on his face in public.My only concern was the words that had come out of his mouth. Was he nuts? What did he mean by *I was carrying his child? And how did he know I was pregnant in the first place?
Scarlett“What??”I stared at Zara like she had completely lost her mind. She sighed dramatically and repeated herself more slowly this time.“What if you just terminate the pregnancy?”My jaw nearly hit the floor.“Zara!”“What?” She frowned. “I’m serious, Scarlett. This whole thing is creepy as
ScarlettRain poured endlessly from the sky as I ran barefoot through a dark forest. The branches from different trees scratched against my skin while thunder cracked violently above me, but somehow… I wasn’t scared.I should’ve been terrified, instead, heat flooded my body in dangerous waves and
ScarlettAfter mom chased me out of the house I couldn’t think of anywhere else to go apart from Zara’s so I made my way there as fast as my legs could carry me.I knocked weakly on Zara’s apartment door, hugging myself tightly as cold night air brushed against my skin.
