LOGINScarlett“Stop pulling me along!” I yelled at Atlas but he didn’t stop. At some point he flung me over his shoulders in one go, careful enough not to hurt the baby.I’d tried resisting him and that was why he pulled that move. I was not even going to lie. I was so confused by everything that was going on. I mean sure I kind of felt hurt that Atlas was finally making his thing with Seraphine official for some stupid reasons.But I didn’t expect it to take such a unique turn of events. I didn’t expect Atlas to stand there in front of so many people and announce he no longer wanted the marriage.And then to make matters worse, he’d come to me immediately after that. What the hell was wrong with him?Was he trying to create problems for both of us? Me especially? Wouldn’t people think that gesture meant something when it obviously didn’t mean anything?I mean nothing was going on between us right?God!What the hell did I find myself into and why was I having such complicated feelings? W
SeraphineI couldn’t breathe.I couldn’t fucking breathe.I stood there surrounded by hundreds of people, staring at the man I’d loved for twelve years as he publicly destroyed everything we’d built together.“I am ending my engagement to Seraphine.” His words kept replaying inside my head again and again.Twelve years.Twelve fucking years of waiting for this man.I’d grown up believing Atlas would be my husband. I’d endured every woman who passed through his bed, every rumor, every night he disappeared, because I believed there was a future waiting for me at the end of it all.I was that she-wolf who didn’t mind the numerous side pieces her Alpha messed with, because after all, he was going to come back to me right? And now he’d thrown me away in front of the entire Silverwood Pack.For what?A human?My nails dug into my palms as tears blurred my vision.I didn’t want anyone seeing me cry, but the humiliation was too deep. It wasn’t just heartbreak. It was the way everyone was sta
Atlas“I am ending my engagement to Seraphine.”The words left my mouth, and for one fucking second, the entire clearing went silent. Then chaos erupted.“What did he just say?”“Alpha, what are you doing?”“Is this some kind of mistake?”My mother shot to her feet, her face pale with disbelief. My father looked like someone had just struck him across the face.“Atlas!” he barked but I didn’t even flinch.I had spent the last week trying to convince myself that I could continue with the plan. The pre-mating ceremony had been arranged immediately when I told Seraphine that we could finally hold our mating ceremony. The invitations had gone out, the elders had been informed and Westmoor had prepared for the alliance. Seraphine had spent weeks planning every detail and I had intended to stand here tonight and pretend everything was fine.But then I saw Scarlett.One look at her across the crowd had been enough to destroy every lie I’d been telling myself. Finn had howled inside my head
Scarlett“You don’t understand me, Zara. I’m actually really going through it right now, can you believe Lucas only called for two days and then he just stopped?” I sighed.The audacity of that man after lying to me and deceiving me all this time. I was so confused and hurt that I couldn’t even understand any of it.“But that’s because you refused to pick up his calls or reply to his messages for those two days.” She rolled her eyes.It’s been a week and four days since I left Lucas place and let’s just say life has been confusing. For some reason I wanted Lucas to try harder…To make me believe that he’d not just lied his way into my life but he didn’t even try. It was all so confusing. And then there was Atlas.There was this strong weird pull I felt towards him. One that made me want to act crazy and jump his bones every time I saw him.I couldn’t even understand it and I didn’t know if it was because I just learnt I was part werewolf now. I wanted to ask Marcus about all the new
Atlas“What the hell!” I groaned as the door to my room closed behind me. Okay, what was that? That had to officially be the strangest thing I’d experienced all day. “You fool! Why didn’t you take our mate when she was begging us to?” Finn growled at me. He was enraged and rightfully so but no matter how much I wanted to… I just couldn’t.I still had Scarlett’s words in the back of my mind. It was like a scar to my heart and I didn’t want to do anything to worsen my image in her head.If she woke up tomorrow with a clear head and wanted me to make love… no, fuck her, then I absolutely would. I wanted her and that fact was painfully obvious from how hard I was right now.I just wanted to be sure she really wanted me to.Moon goddess!I was in deep shit. Scarlett taking me unaware by kissing me was doing so many weird things to me. I was beginning to picture us together, especially since finding out we were mates.“But what about Seraphine?” A voice in my head nudged and I sighed.Fu
AtlasI couldn’t believe she was my mate. I was finding it hard to reconcile the two things. Scarlett, a human my mate??What in the world is going on right now? I’d never thought I’d get a mate in this lifetime. I was thirty five years old and I had never been blessed by the moon goddess with a mate.I fucking thought I was cursed.No… not just me. We all thought we were cursed in this pack because for twenty four blood moon seasons now no one in Silverwood pack had found their mate.That was why my parents arranged my marriage with Seraphine. That was why I had a Luna picked out for me. It was because they knew it wasn’t possible for me to get a mate. I’d accepted that fate a long time ago so what exactly was going on here? How was it possible Finn was claiming Scarlett to be our mate? Scarlett was a human.She couldn’t possibly be my mate right? Or could she? I didn’t even know what to think anymore.“Atlas?…” she called out, confusion written all over her face. I couldn’t even
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. The moment the door swung op
