MasukScarlettIt’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
Scarlett“The baby is coming.” I managed to say and for a moment, Atlas didn’t move. His eyes searched my face as if he was hoping I’d tell him I’d made a mistake, but another wave of pain tore through my abdomen, and I clutched his foreleg with a cry.“Get Althea!” he roared.The command barely left his mouth before he shifted back into his human form. He dropped to his knees beside me, ignoring the blood running down his body, and carefully gathered me into his arms.“Look at me, Lettie. I’ve got you.” His voice shook as he brushed the fur from my face, then seemed to realize I was still in my wolf form. “Can you shift back, sweetheart?”I tried, but the pain made it difficult to concentrate. My body trembled, and all I could do was press my face against his chest and breathe through the discomfort.“I’m here,” my wolf whispered, her voice unusually soft. “We’re going to bring our baby into the world.”I wanted to believe her.Althea arrived with two healers, taking one look at me
AtlasWhat exactly was going on? Is that…For one terrifying second, I forgot there was a battle raging around me.Scarlett stood in the shattered courtyard, her silver-gray fur bristling, her eyes glowing with a power I had never seen before. The force that had erupted from her had cracked the ground beneath our feet and thrown warriors across the battlefield.My mate had finally awakened, and Moon Goddess, she was beautiful.Lettie.“Atlas, I can hear you.” Her ears twitched, and she turned toward me. Relief flooded through me. “I can hear you too, sweetheart.” I whispered through the mindlink. I wanted to pull her close and make sure she was unharmed, but Aldric was already recovering. The enormous brown wolf shook the dust from his coat and charged toward me.I met Aldric halfway. Our bodies collided, sending loose stones flying. His jaws snapped toward my throat, but I twisted aside and raked my claws across his shoulder. He struck back, catching me across the ribs.Pain flar
Scarlett The voice sounded small and frightened, yet there was something fierce beneath it. I had never heard it before. Never felt another presence inside my mind. Was I imagining it?The brown wolf lunged again, forcing me to roll away. His claws scraped my side, and I cried out as pain flared through me. I tried to crawl toward the broken pillar, desperate to put something between us, but he followed, cutting off my escape.Please, I thought, though I didn’t know who I was begging. Someone help me.Then a roar shook the battlefield.I lifted my head just in time to see Aldric’s wolf slam into Finn, sending Atlas crashing into the broken wall. The impact made the stones crumble around him. He struggled to rise, blood darkening his black fur, while Aldric circled him for another attack.“Atlas!” I screamed.He lifted his head, and our eyes met across the chaos. He tried to get back on his feet, but Aldric lunged again, driving him into the rubble.Something inside me snapped.The
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. The moment the door swung op
Scarlett“Congratulations ma’am you're pregnant.” The doctor said, handing me a report that left me confused.What the hell was I looking at? “What??? What do you mean she’s pregnant?” My mom asked, looking puzzled.I couldn’t even say anything, I just kept mute staring at the test results in my h
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?
