“Was it them?” Dave asked the moment they stepped out of Tralington Fort.“They did not give away their thoughts,” Nicholas replied, his brows furrowed and deep in contemplation. “It’s not them...”“How?” Dave inquired.“Alex is not stupid. He knows if anything happens to Scarlett, especially the moment she arrives in the pack, all fingers will point at him. He wouldn’t take such a rash risk,” Nicholas explained, shaking his head. “It was someone else.”Dave grasped the point and nodded in agreement, “True.”“And what about the other attacker? Who was it?” Nicholas asked, and Dave shook his head.“It’s unidentified, Alpha... The news has already reached the council and other ranked members. It’s a mixed reaction. But, everyone was taken aback by the style of the attack,” Dave reported.“Hmm... Let’s see how things unfold in the meeting.”They entered the grand pack meeting hall, where all the ranked members and the entire council had gathered. Everyone rose to show respect to their Al
The following morning, Scarlett once again woke up alone on the bed. She tried not to let it bother her, but a nagging emptiness persisted.‘Good morning, Ulva,’ she greeted her wolf.‘Good morning, Scar...’After stretching and a few playful rolls on the bed, Scarlett got up and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. However, as she caught sight of herself in the mirror, a loud gasp escaped her lips. She covered her mouth in shock, her eyes widening as her mind raced. This couldn’t be real.Leaning in for a closer look, Scarlett confirmed it wasn’t a trick of the light. Several strands of her orange curls had transformed into a silvery hue, giving the impression that she’d gone for a daring hair makeover.‘Is this some kind of disease?’ she asked, seeking answers from Ulva.‘I don’t think so,’ Ulva replied uncertainly. ‘Maybe... it’s connected to the other changes,’ she added, referring to Scarlett’s newfound strength.Turning to the mirror again, Scarlett tentatively touched her hair
Scarlett found the idea of training with Nicole intriguing. Unable to venture out alone, seizing the chance to unleash some pent-up energy sounded like a great plan. Without much contemplation, Scarlett enthusiastically agreed. After breakfast, Nicole led Scar to her exclusive training spot in the palace’s backyard. Giving Scar a tour, Nicole showcased the area, and Scar found herself quite fond of the place. Donning their workout attire and securing her long curls, Scar embarked on her training session with Nicole.To Nicole’s surprise, everything went smoothly in the training arena. Scarlett embraced the training regimen, behaving like any other seasoned warrior, giving it her all. Two hours later, a slightly winded Scarlett decided to take a break. Ulva, too, seemed at ease after a good workout. As Scarlett reached for some water, Nicholas strolled onto the scene, with Dave trailing behind.Their eyes locked, and slowly, Nicholas’s gaze roamed over Scarlett, sending shivers down h
“Ah... Wow! Let me look at you!” Nicole twirled Scarlett with infectious excitement, eyeing her from head to toe. “You are absolutely gorgeous, Scarlett,” she gushed with genuine admiration.Blushing, Scar graciously thanked her before turning to the long mirror. Clad in a shimmering silver bodycon gown, her orange curls were elegantly tied up in a loose bun, with a few silver strands artfully escaping, adding a touch of glam. Completing the ensemble was light makeup accentuated by a bold dark red lip – she looked like an absolute queen.“You’re gonna turn heads and make my brother burn with jealousy, girl. I don’t know what he’ll do, but if I were in his shoes, I’d have marked you before even stepping out,” Nicole declared in a somewhat serious tone.Scarlett’s cheeks practically caught fire. “That’s enough, Nicole. You’re saying too much now,” she tried to interject, but Nicole, being Nicole, paid no heed.“Girl, you should be more confident about yourself in every situation...” Nic
Scarlett held her breath. With him this close to her, it’s an impossible task to breathe properly. While he might have the willpower to control himself, she, on the other hand, lacked that luxury!‘Need to get out of here!’ Scarlett chanted in her head, and the moment the mask was on, she practically rushed out of the car. The force of the cold air hit her suddenly, making her shiver and eventually calming her heated nerves.However, the respite didn’t last long as Nicholas’s warm and sizable arm touched her lower back. Her gaze met his, and he nodded, saying, “Let’s go...”The sudden tenderness in his tone was challenging to get used to. This man was so sorted with his emotions and needs. Behind everyone’s eyes, he was a cold and aloof man, seemingly impossible to touch, always pushing her away. Yet, in front of everyone, he was the sweetest man, smitten with his little mate, and willing to fight against the world for her.These two conflicting personalities were confusing for Scar t
“What do you want now, George?” The words dripped with resentment. Since George had rejected her, Scarlett had buried her emotions for him in a dark corner. Now, seeing him after days, those desperate brown eyes made Scarlett feel nothing but rage in her stabbed heart. She hadn’t forgotten how he left her stranded in the middle of the road to find his own destination. He had broken mateship’s true virtue when she tried to give it her all. Suddenly, his appearance annoyed her more than she thought it would.“Who’s that man?” George wasted no time confronting her, and Scarlett’s brow arched vigilantly. “I don’t know what you’re saying,” she replied, genuinely puzzled by his words.George’s fists were tightly clenched as he took a step forward. “The man you were so cozy with at the banquet, of course...” His tone was harsh. “Now, don’t tell me you just randomly picked him.”Scarlett stared at him, torn between laughter at his audacity and anger at his uncontrolled behavior. However, she
“Oh no, not again!” Scarlett groaned inwardly. “Can’t I catch a break for just a few moments of peace in this life?” With a sigh, she searched for the voice that had interrupted her and soon discovered a pair of mesmerizing ocean-blue eyes locked onto her.The owner of the eyes was a woman with flowing blonde hair, dressed in a dazzling blood-red gown and adorned with a matching mask that concealed her face. Standing at an impressive 5’9” with an hourglass figure, she exuded an air of goddess-like allure. No wonder there was an alluring charm hidden beneath the mask.With a champagne glass in hand, the lady in red scrutinized Scarlett from head to toe, a small smirk playing on her lips. “Bold choice of hair color, weird eyes with not-so-majestic aura, pretty... Disgusting,” she remarked, the poetic tone of her words grating on Scarlett’s ears.“Tsk~tsk, poor Nicholas... It’s sad that he actually waited for this,” she scrutinized Scarlett again before adding, “Someone with no sense of
In the Night Walker pack, George fucked Olivia with hatred dripping from his emotions. All her spoken words were tormenting him and his wolf, Mack, who had turned wild. It had been like this since he rejected her, and the moment Scarlett accepted the rejection, it became hard for him to control.George became a mess after Scarlett left. He wanted to keep her under his control for her safety, but she chose to run away and even found her second mate. His chance had shattered into pieces. The thought of Scarlett with another man made him go wild. And right now, he couldn’t see anything else but Scarlett’s face in front of him.He couldn’t see the face of the man he wished to see. However, the next time he saw him, he would challenge him openly and show Scarlett what she missed. George wouldn’t mind killing that man if it meant the slightest chance of winning Scarlett back.Initially, Olivia liked his wildness, but it soon turned into torture, and she writhed under him painfully. “A-Agh!
