LOGINAtlasI watched Scarlett’s expression go from shocked to confused of which I expected anyway. Suddenly dropping the bomb that we were fated mates wasn’t something I wanted to do anyway, but now just felt like the perfect moment to drop the reveal.“You’re my mate.” I said again.Finding out that Scarlett was a half human, half werewolf was surprising but still not surprising in a way because I’d always suspected that there was more to her than what meets the eyes. Why else would she be the one the ancient heir ritual had picked? Apart from when she was poisoned she hadn’t had any complications in her pregnancy so far which was rather surprising for a fully human. But now everything was beginning to make sense.Scarlett was a werewolf too, the daughter of the late head enforcer of ironwood pack that was tagged as missing when she was much younger.It was…Surreal but true.And Lucas, why had Lucas been keeping tabs on her all these years? Why did he deserve her like this and break
Scarlett“Can you seriously stop rubbing my butt? I’m trying to focus on my shower.” I chuckled, feigning anger. It’s been two weeks since Atlas announced in front of everyone that he was ending his engagement because he didn’t want to get married to anyone out of duty.Things had been pretty tense for a few days, especially after Atlas ordered that my things be moved to his wing.According to him, he didn’t want anything bad happening to me or anyone harming me or the baby since there were speculations that he was in love with me. I agreed without hesitation though.Especially because I didn’t want anyone to hurt me or my baby. And also because I wanted to take my time to build the relationship between us.Atlas was loving, kind, and always present.It was shocking to say that I hadn’t even thought about Lucas in the past two weeks! I’d simply been living in bliss.I still hadn’t slept with him though and it wasn’t even because I was skeptical about anything because I wasn’t. After
ZaraI watched Atlas pull Scarlett away, completely dumbfounded.What the hell had just happened?One minute, we were sitting there watching him publicly end his engagement to Seraphine, and the next, he was standing in front of Scarlett, grabbing her hand and dragging her away like the entire pack had disappeared.I glanced around at the chaos they’d left behind.Seraphine was crying and her family looked furious. Atlas’s parents looked like they were about to have a collective heart attack, and everyone else was whispering like they’d just witnessed the biggest scandal in Silverwood history.And somehow, Scarlett was right in the middle of it.I sighed.Why had Atlas done that?Did he actually want to fucking create enemies for my friend?Because whatever the hell he was thinking, he had just made Scarlett the center of attention in front of an entire pack.I shook my head and decided I’d had enough excitement for one night.I stood up and started making my way away from the crowd,
Vivienne“W-what are you d-doing here?” I asked in shock.Ryker. It was the first time I was going to see him since I was stripped of my rank. My mother had to help me find a beat down apartment near the pack outskirts.I hadn’t heard from Ryker since then. All my messages went unanswered and all efforts to get him to respond to me were futile.He wouldn’t even come see our baby… or babies like I’d found out last week. The healer had informed me I was carrying twin pups in my womb.A boy and a girl, his heirs.My mother still didn’t know I was pregnant with her husband's son, my stepbrother. She thought I was pregnant with some random Omega who abandoned me afterward. She claims I’d disgraced the family and she couldn’t risk her standing with the pack hierarchy’s so she barely visited. Things had been really tough and I was struggling to get by.To be honest, I deeply regretted ever trying to pin my pregnancy on Atlas. I loved Ryker deeply so what exactly was I thinking going along
AtlasIt felt really strange telling someone else the horrifying truth about what I went through as a kid. Even though, saying it aloud left such a bitter taste on my tongue.But it had to be told.I didn’t tell Scarlett any of this so she could feel any type of pity for me. No, I only told her that so she could realize that sometimes there was more to the story. I hadn’t said her name out loud since she mysteriously died seventeen years ago. Aunt Vivica.Saying it out now just felt like putting my hand back into the fire I’d spent almost two decades convincing myself that had gone cold.She’d done so much damage to me no matter how the story was spun or told. Me being a curious little boy didn’t help her case because I was an eight-year-old.Maybe, just maybe that was why the Moon goddess decided to take her life in such a mysterious way. Maybe it was Karma for her sins, who knows? Scarlett wouldn’t stop crying and it made me so guilty. I didn’t mean to tell her any of this and dr
TRIGGER WARNING (Mentions of Child Abuse, Sexual Assault of a Minor, PROCEED WITH CAUTION)ScarlettI was shaking right now.I didn’t know how long I could take anymore. Hearing this story and having a glimpse of what Atlas childhood was like is really giving me goosebumps.To be honest, I have a new level of respect for him now. How was I so stupid not to think that his way of life could have been as a result of bad upbringing or traumas?God!“She came to me late in the night after the party and everyone had retired to bed and told me it was time we tried it. I was so confused Scarlett.” His voice broke a little.It was hurting me a lot to see him struggle to recount this horrific time in his life. “I didn’t know what to do and she told me if I didn’t do it, terrible things would happen to me.” He let out a dry chuckle.The evil bitch had even used the art of manipulation on a freaking child!! “Of course I knew that didn’t make sense but I couldn’t say anything. She said I was ol
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
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
