ログインA fair judgment for Vivienne don’t you think so?
Atlas“Oh baby, I knew you were telling the truth. I’ve always trusted you.” Seraphine rushed to hug me once they dragged Vivienne outside.“I don’t know why you ever engaged with her. She’s a lying bitch who tried to steal my man.” Seraphine said, still clinging on tightly to my neck.I knew why she was doing this.She wanted to paint a false picture to the elders present that we were in ‘love,’ but I wasn’t having any of this.I leaned in closer, ignoring her shocked but happy expression. She puckered her lips expecting a kiss, but I just went on to whisper in her ear.“She may be a liar, but she’s a better fuck than you’d ever be.” Her grip on my neck loosened immediately, and she staggered backwards a little, tears already forming at the corner of her eyes.That wasn’t true, of course.I didn’t particularly care who was better than who amongst the women I’d slept with. I only wanted to remind Seraphine that pretending to be my devoted mate in front of the Council wouldn’t magicall
AtlasI stood up from my throne, my eyes dark and imposing as they settled on Vivienne, the treacherous bitch.She was making a mockery of my intelligence by having me seated here in front of the high council, my parents, Seraphine, and some reputable pack members, including her mother and stepfather.I wanted to gouge her eyes out in front of the crowd with my claws.“Patience,” my wolf Finn whispered.I knew too well what he meant by patience. We were confident Vivienne would be exposed, so there was no need to tear her apart right now.My eyes fixed on hers, and she shuddered, lowering her head immediately.PffftttJust a little more time until you’re exposed.“Carry on.” I gave the command for the blood ritual to begin with only those two simple words.Althea bowed her head and lined up some of the materials she needed for the ritual. In the normal sense, this was supposed to be a closeted ritual, but because Vivienne was alleging her unborn baby was mine when I stood on my words
VivienneI didn’t know what to do, but I was fucking panicking because I knew I was in deep shit.Why didn’t I, for once, stop to think of the fact that the Alpha would want a blood ritual down to determine if my baby was his? Did I seriously just assume Atlas would be that easy to fool?Gosh…I didn’t even know what to think.“Stop prancing around and let me think.” My mother raised her voice a little, the irritation in her tone very clear. I didn’t want to do any of this in the first place. It was all her idea. I just couldn’t understand why she was so hell-bent on me pinning the child on Atlas.And now she was trying to make my life more difficult.“You’d go speak with Althea before the blood ritual tomorrow.” Mom said, and I frowned.Althea was the priestess of the pack and the Alpha’s family private healer. Why would I want to speak to her? “I don’t understand, Mom, why would I want to speak with Althea? Shouldn’t I just confess to lying about the baby now to evade punishment?”
Scarlett“Okay, where are we going?” I asked Atlas.“You’d see when we get there.” He chuckled and opened the passenger door to the SUV waiting for me. I didn’t know what he had in mind, or where he was taking me, but I just went along with it. I was just grateful to be leaving the house, to be fair. He still hasn’t said a word to me about the whole Vivienne being pregnant for him situation. I had no idea if it was because he thought I didn’t know about it or because he didn’t care.I wasn’t bothered by it though.After all, he owes me no explanation. In fact, the only person he owes an explanation to is his fiancée Seraphine.Because I know for a fact that I’d be livid if the man I was supposed to marry was expecting children from two different women at once. The drive into town was strangely peaceful.One security vehicle followed several cars behind us, far enough not to feel intrusive. It almost felt like we were alone, and I kind of liked it.As someone who’s modeled for years
Atlas I walked into Seraphine's room without knocking because it was already slightly open when I got there.My mother was seated so close to her, her hand over her shoulder as she rubbed her back, consoling the crying princess. My father, on the other hand, stood at their side, face as hard as a rock. I scoffed at the scene.What kind of dramatic display was this? And why was Seraphine crying like all the wolves in her pack back home just lost their lives?“You sent for me,” I said, voice stiff and unshaken by whatever they were trying to display. I didn’t have time for whatever this was, and I only wanted to get back to my business, which was dealing with Vivienne.“You rascal!” My mother was the first to raise her voice. “Are you too blind and cold-hearted to see that your fiancée is sitting here crying her eyes out?”She was heaving as she spoke, probably furious at my display of nonchalance.Seraphine looked up at me, her wet lashes fluttering and her eyes going a deeper shade
Atlas“I swear I’ll kill that bitch.” I dragged my hand through my hair, just thinking about what I was going to do if I laid my hands on Vivienne.In what world does she think she’d go scot-free after going on the media to lie against me?And now pack members were tearing Scarlett and my unborn son down in the comments. They were calling her a freak who got pregnant for me.I knew some of the pack members had always had their reservations about Scarlett because she was a human, but I never expected them to be so vile as to tear down a pregnant woman.Just because a liar wanted to claim to be pregnant with my pup when I knew damn well she wasn’t. I could sense my pup and Vivienne? Whatever thing she had in her womb, if truly she did have anything there, it was not mine.“I think you should calm down, Alpha,” Marcus begged, and I turned swiftly to face him, eyes blazing with fury. “You think I should calm down? Calm down, why? Have you seen what the media are saying about Scarlett? A
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
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
