MasukSeraphine“What do you mean there’s no trace of who carried her? How can we kidnap someone and someone kidnaps that same person right under our nose?” My father barked.I sat there hyperventilating.Why was everything falling apart? The plan had been flawless! The mating ceremony was supposed to happen in roughly five hours and now Scarlett was missing? Our only leverage was missing and we had no idea where she must have gone. Who the fuck dared to mess with their lives and take someone under my father’s protection? I couldn’t think of a single soul.It was certainly not Atlas. He was supposed to be here any moment now to go on with the wedding because we agreed it should be held in my father's pack.If he’d somehow managed to rescue her, he wouldn’t be going on with the ceremony. He’d be burning everywhere to the ground and not having a conversation. Atlas would for sure kill us all…I knew that and my father knew that too, the reason why he was lashing out at the guards. But wha
Lucas“We have to leave immediately.” I turned to Cole and he nodded. I didn’t know if I could trust him either but I wanted to believe I didn’t make a mistake bringing him into this. I was trusting my instincts that he wouldn’t do anything funny or try to harm his cousin but if he tried to play foul, I wouldn’t hesitate to end him. The priestess had managed to use Cole’s blood to narrow down Scarlett’s location. To be fair, the connection wasn’t strong enough to tell us exactly where she was…But at least we had a clue because it reacted most strongly to an abandoned fortress on the western edge of Westmoor and that was enough.I considered telling Atlas her whereabouts for a moment because I knew too well he’d been going crazy over not knowing where she was, especially since she was carrying their pup.But I let go of the thought immediately.If I told him and he saved her first before I got there, then I wouldn’t have any chance with her again and he’d appear as her hero.But if
Lucas“Where’s he?” I asked impatiently.“He’s on his way, Alpha. He set out once we sent for him.” My beta bowed. Even hearing that Cole was already on his way didn’t soothe the ache in my chest.Cole was Scarlett’s cousin and one of her surviving relatives from her father's family. I discreetly sent him a message saying that I knew where his cousin, the late Ironwood’s pack enforcer's daughter was.I never wanted to do that but I think it’s time.God…I loved Scarlett! I loved her so much more than I ever imagined I could so that was why when the opportunity presented itself, I grasped at the straws forgetting everything else.I wanted her in my life and the fact that she had this huge crush on me and was ready to take things forward with me just made me feel over the moon.I entered the relationship with deceit because I wanted to keep her by my side. I didn’t tell her the truth about how I’d found out about her in the first place.I lied to her that the only reason I didn’t confes
Marcus“Tell me you didn’t let me fuck you yesterday all because you wanted to say thank you to me for hiding your little secret?” Darius asked and my eyes darkened.“…Tell me.” He leaned in closer and whispered.I had to stop myself from kissing him right now because of how hot he was. We had a very important task of making sure Scarlett comes home to Atlas in one piece.But fuck!He was so distracting. The distraction he accused me of being was truly what he was. I didn’t know what truly came over me yesterday and why I kissed him like that but I just couldn’t stop once I started.Granted, I love my women, I’ve never questioned that. But I’d had a crush on Darius for years now. I thought it was a harmless little thing and I only admired him…Because of how strong he was, how disciplined and how efficient he was as Gamma of the Silverwood pack. That was all, or at least what I told myself.I didn’t think I ever needed to tell him because I thought it was something that was going to
Darius “Shit! This wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t distract me in the first place.” I cussed as I stared at Marcus who was angrily looking at me like he wanted to burn the fucking grounds down.I didn’t care though.I already felt worse about what happened last night and now this is happening today.“Don’t you dare try to spin this on me.” He pointed towards me angrily. “I didn’t distract you in any way or form and…”“But you did!” I interrupted, my voice rising slightly without me meaning to. “You did distract me. If I hadn’t slept all through the night because of how tired I was, how would this infiltration have happened, huh?”“They wouldn’t have taken Scarlett away, Atlas wouldn’t be a mess now. I know he’s our Alpha but he’s still our friend first!! It hurts to see him like this.”“I just can’t stop blaming myself. I’m the Gamma, Marcus. The chief commander responsible for our militia, our border defenses, and the strategies that keep this pack safe.” “Don’t you think Atla
AtlasI was literally going insane. How could this have happened? How could they have taken Scarlett right under my nose? This wasn’t supposed to happen!!They hadn’t made a move in months so how was it possible they were making one now? I had been really careful, I doubled the security, triple the security in fact, so how could this happen?There had to be only one explanation…An insider was helping them. “Find them!”My roar shook the entire room. I slammed my fist against the table, sending everything on it flying. A glass hit the floor and shattered, but I barely noticed.I was too rattled to care about anything else. Seraphine and her father must have another thing coming if they thought they could just take the love of my life like that and go scot-free. “My woman has been kidnapped from my fucking garden!” I yelled. Marcus and Darius stood several feet away, both trying to keep their composure. “Atlas, we’re already searching every part of the territory…”“Then search har
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
