The Alpha’s Captive Chapter 24: A Marriage Waiting To Be Sealed
JACKSON’S POVTHE NEXT DAY“I can’t believe her,” I snarled, leaning back. “She lied against Brianna. She also deliberately fell down the stairs to get my attention. She seems to forget we are only in this marriage for each other’s benefits.”Marcus remained quiet.I studied him. Didn’t he just hear what I said?“Marcus,” I called out.“Alpha Jackson,” he said, snapping out of his thoughts. “Sorry, I was lost for a minute.”“Is there a problem?” I asked, leaning forward. “You’re unusually quiet.”He looked at me, his eyes narrowing.“Why do you doubt Scarlett?” he asked, folding his hands. “Who in their right mind would deliberately fall down the stairs and get such an awful injury for attention? Scarlett is not stupid. She understands what a marriage contract is. She might have needed you to be a little more understanding towards her and caring, but that’s because you are her mate, regardless of the contract.”My eyes shifted to the door.Could Brianna have lied to me?I shook my hea
The Alpha’s Captive Chapter 23: The Enemy In His Arms
Scarlett’s POVI swallowed hard. Had she been researching me? Black Howl Pack had been welcoming towards me. If they found out I was accused of my former mate’s brother’s murder, they would start treating me indifferently, without wanting to know the truth behind everything that happened.“I didn’t murder Adrien. I’m innocent.”She laughed. “And who is going to believe that? I’m certain if mother Catherine knew about this, she would hate the fact that Jackson took you as his mate.”I forced my voice to be calm. “It was Luna Catherine that got me out of prison.”Her eyes narrowed. She didn’t believe it.“You’re lying! Catherine would never do such a thing. She would never save a murderer,” she yelled. “She saved me, because she knew I was innocent.”“And what makes you innocent? Your pretty green eyes? Your tenderness? Darling, people like you should be feared. You are evil to the core,” she spat, standing up.She walked to my bedside and reached for my injured leg.Fesr surged thro
The Alpha’s Captive Chapter 22: Playing Dirty
Scarlett’s POVAll of a sudden, I wished I didn’t ask him that.“I-I didn’t mean to ask you that,” I said quickly.A knock came on the door dismissively.“Come in,” Alpha Jackson said at once.Miriam opened the door and walked in.Jackson stood up. “Are you through with watering the plants?”She lowered her head. “Yes, Alpha.”“Stay with her,” he instructed, and began walking towards the doorway.Just like that? He didn’t even answer my question. If I had pissed him off, he could have just said so.One minute he was caring and protective, the next minute he was a grumpy jerk.Why?Was it because of the contract terms?I watched him leave the room. Miriam closed the door, and turned to me.The moment my eyes met her, she averted her gaze to the ground.“You don’t want to look at me?” I asked, flatly.Of course. That was what I had expected after she had supported Brianna’s lies against me.To think we had gotten so close. She was the first woman to speak to me when I had first arrive
The Alpha’s Captive Chapter 21: Lies
JACKSON’S POVDamn!I had just admitted that I had got her out of prison. I couldn’t let her know I was the one. I couldn’t let her think I was some kind of knight in shining armor.“I-I mean my mother,” I lied.“Your mother?” she asked, raising an eyebrow. “How did she know I was in prison?”I shrugged. “I don’t know. Perhaps she has a thing for helping people out, people who think they have been forgotten and abandoned.”“I will have to thank her for this,” she said, keenly.“I don’t think there is a need for that. If she wanted your appreciation, she would have let you know,” I said, standing up. “Will you be okay if I leave you alone for a few minutes?”She nodded. “Yes. Sure.”I dipped my hands into my pockets. “I’m not going far away. If you need anything, just call me.”She smiled. “Thank you so much, Jackson.”“It’s nothing,” I said, grinning.I turned around and left the room. By the time I was outside, I brought out my phone and called Marcus.After a few rings, he picked th
The Alpha’s Captive Chapter 20: When The Secret Slips
Scarlett’s POVIan had left, leaving Jackson and I alone. As for Miriam, she had excused herself claiming she had work to do.I couldn’t still believe that she had thrown me under the bus like that.Why had she lied? Had Brianna threatened her?“I was scared for a minute,” Jackson said huskily.“Why?” I asked, locking eyes with his.He hesitated. “Because I care about you, Scarlett.”I laughed. “And I’m supposed to believe that?”“I care about everyone in my Pack, Scar. I don’t give a damn whatever you believe.”A frown formed on my lips. Of course. I didn’t have to feel special because he said he cared about me. “Are you hungry? Do you want water? Or a massage?” he asked.I laughed. “Alpha Jackson—““Jackson,” he whispered, his blue eyes studying mine, as he pushed a strand of hair away from my face. “Jackson,” I corrected myself. “I’m hungry, and you don’t have to help me get something to eat. I will patiently wait for Miriam to return.”“She has gone to the garden. It would tak
The Alpha’s Captive Chapter 19: The Security Tape
Marcus’s POVI watched Ian prepare Scarlett for the journey to the infirmary before finally stepping out of the room.Something about Brianna’s story didn’t sit right with me.She had appeared just when Scarlett needed help, yet instead of showing concern, she had immediately accused her of deliberately falling down the stairs.And the workers?Why would Scarlett send them away when she had no reason to?I had known Scarlett long enough to understand that she wasn’t the type to hurt herself just to get attention. Besides, it had been Miriam who had called Jackson. I headed straight for the security room. I needed to find out the truth myself.Two guards stood outside. They immediately straightened when they saw me.“Beta Marcus.”“Open the security footage from the main staircase. I want to see everything that happened this morning.”“Yes, sir.”One of them opened the door, and I walked inside.The security officer on duty stood up. “Good afternoon, Beta.”“Good afternoon.
