“Now?” Scarlett watched as her new husband pushed the contract toward Dave. Dave took the contract and walked away silently, all the while wearing that displeased expression, still doubtful of the woman.Nicholas leaned back in his seat, inspecting the woman before him. “It’s time for you to pack your things and leave with me.”Scarlett didn’t think he had another place. “Is this not where we’re gonna live?” she asked, a touch of surprise in her voice.“No... We will move into my pack, Mystic Howl...” Nicholas answered lightly.“Mystic Howl? Okay... Wait, did you say Mystic Howl!?” Scarlett suddenly felt as though she had been thrown from the seventh sky. Her life turned upside down, and suddenly, in front of that man, Scarlett felt she had really turned into an Omega. No matter what, in terms of power, she could not defeat this man. Not because he is the Alpha of the most prestigious and powerful Kingdom, but because he is a freaking Lycanthrope!A Lycan was a regal breed of werewolv
Scarlett’s eyes widened as she observed the sleek, luxurious car waiting outside the mansion. Stepping out, the realization hit her—she was still in her own pack, Night Walker. The place, nestled close to the Lycan Kingdom and rarely traversed by werewolves, felt strangely unfamiliar, sparking thoughts that perhaps she had been whisked away to another pack.The surroundings had a notorious reputation—the ‘death forest,’ a place avoided like a plague. No wolf in their right mind would want to offend a Lycan. The pack’s absence had unofficially ceded control to the Lycans, who claimed the mansion and the forbidden side of the territory as their own.Dave, with a hint of reluctance, opened the car for his new Luna. Scarlett paused, her gaze drifting towards the forest. Regardless of the circumstances, this was her home, brimming with bittersweet memories, particularly those involving Alaina, her best friend.“Get inside...” Nicholas’s voice emerged from behind, but Scarlett didn’t budge.
The car door swung open, and Nicholas extended his hand for Scarlett to take. With a deep breath, Scar emerged from the car, instantly capturing attention.Eyes in the room held a mix of surprise and reluctance, unwelcoming glances reflecting the skepticism towards the presence of a wolf with tainted blood. (Wolf blood was considered impure, tainted with a touch of magic.) Despite the less-than-enthusiastic reception, with their Alpha by her side, no one dared to voice their disapproval. Instead, heads bowed out of respect.Entering the grand castle, Scarlett anticipated a welcoming committee, but only a handful of servants bowed in acknowledgment of their Alpha. Soon, the couple entered into a huge and luxurious bedroom.The decor enchanted Scarlett as she surveyed the room. “So...” She turned to Nicholas, a spark of curiosity in her eyes, “This is where I’m gonna live?”“Hmm... This is our bedroom,” Nicholas replied.“Yeah...” Scar nodded, then inquired once more, “I thought I would
“Alpha wants to see you,” Dave informed with his usual curt expression.“Oh... Okay,” Scarlett turned to Nicole, who was watching Dave. “Hi... Dave,” Nicole said, and Dave only nodded at her, “Hello, ma’am.”The tension in Nicole’s face was clear to Scarlett. Pursing her lips, Scarlett didn’t say anything, and after saying goodbye to Nicole, she followed Dave.Passing through the hall, they entered another corridor. It was empty and slightly darker. Scarlett suddenly felt tense with the man who clearly didn’t like her. She also realized the main reason for his hatred. He was a Lycan, and she was a mere wolf whom he needed to serve.In the middle of the corridor, he suddenly paused and turned to her. “Didn’t Alpha ask you not to get too close to anyone here? Which part of this don’t you understand?” His dark eyes blazed with fury. However, Scarlett remained silent. She was really annoyed. First of all, she was not at fault when Nicole approached her. What was she supposed to do? Be r
Scar glanced at herself in the mirror, adorned in a soft pink dress that accentuated her beauty. However, the sparkle in her eyes didn’t match her outward allure; instead, they were clouded with bitter sorrows.Life hadn’t unfolded as Scarlett had meticulously planned. Always cautious and sensible in her actions, she had dreamt of a simple life—happiness with her mate and assuming the role of a peace-solving Alpha. Yet, here she was, thrust into an unknown pack of powerful shifters, surrounded by individuals who harbored a deep-seated hatred for her. On top of that, she found herself entangled in a contract with the Lycan Alpha, driven by a desire to reclaim his throne and seek revenge against George. Tragedy had become her reality.A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts, and Dave entered the room. The moment his eyes fell on Scarlett, he was taken aback but composed himself swiftly.Her enchanting appearance captivated him. ‘She is really beautiful,’ he couldn’t help but think,
After the nerve-wracking council session, the couple made their way to what was more appropriately called a pack castle than a pack house. Nicholas, holding Scarlett by the waist, led the way inside, setting off a wave of whispers and curious, disapproving gazes that rattled her nerves.In the midst of the scrutiny, Scarlett caught sight of Nicole, who offered a reassuring smile and a subtle nod upon their eye contact. Scarlett’s spirits lifted a tad. At least, she thought, there was one person here who didn’t harbor resentment towards her.Nicholas brought them to a halt in front of their seats, prompting all pack members to cease their activities and focus on their Alpha. Rumors about his mate being a mere wolf had circulated, and it didn’t sit well with the pack.“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us here. Allow me to introduce this beautiful lady beside me...” Nicholas turned to Scarlett, “Scarlett Rowan, my mate, and your future Luna.”The announcement ignited a flurry
Clad in comfortable nightwear, Scarlett strolled out of the closet. The image of Nicholas emerging from the same closet was still etched in her mind, causing a headache. The last thing she wanted was to be swayed by him, but it seemed to be happening faster than she anticipated. Sighing, Scar got on the bed and laid down.‘Better fall asleep before he comes.’ Scarlett kept chanting the same line in her mind, and Ulva rolled her eyes. ‘Stop acting so pitiful!’ Ulva growled, and only then did Scarlett calm down.Lost in thoughts about the recent events, Scarlett’s eyelids grew heavy, and she drifted into a deep sleep. When Nicholas emerged from the bathroom, Scarlett was already in a deep slumber. He laid down beside her, the moonlight casting a gentle glow on her face, accentuating her beauty and innocence. He couldn’t tear his eyes away.‘I wonder how beautiful her wolf will be,’ Damon purred. ‘If only I could reach her.’‘What is this girl, Damon? Why can’t I read her mind?’‘I wish
‘He rejected us, Ulva. We can’t shift now,’ Scarlett reminded her wolf. ‘You need to control for a few more days till I find a solution,’ she said with a sense of determination.‘Do it fast, Scar. I am losing it day by day. You saw what happened earlier, right? For a moment, I lost myself! That was very scary, Scar,’ Ulva groaned, a hint of desperation in her voice.‘What happened today angered him more,’ Scar replied with a sigh. ‘The only possibility now is to make him fall in love with us. With our shifting, we also need to make sure things happen as planned so that we can get back at George.’‘Hmm. You’re right...’ Ulva agreed reluctantly. ‘For that, we need to know Nicholas more, but he is always running away from us!’ She growled at the last part. ‘The worst part is, I can’t even reach his Lycan. It only depends on you now.’Scarlett stayed silent for a few seconds, her eyes following Nicole’s movements from the corner of her eyes as she drove the car. After Nicholas left, Nicol
