Raven/ Scarlett’s POV

Circe's fingers landed lightly against my cheek, her nails tracing slowly across my skin in a touch that should have felt gentle.

My chest constricted.

It wasn't her touch that frightened me. It was the way she was looking at me, as though there was nothing about me she couldn't see. Nothing I could hide from her.

My heart began to pound painfully against my ribs as her words echoed in my mind.

Blood for blood. A child for a child.

The words refused to leave my mind.

  • The Alpha’s Scarred Healer   Chapter 117: He’s Coming

    Alpha Dimitri’s POV“I don’t know!” Xena gasped.I pulled harder.Her knees hit the stone.A broken scream tore from her throat as the silver burned hotter against her skin. Tears spilled down her face, and the smell of burning flesh grew stronger until every breath filled my lungs with it. My own palm was blistering around the chain.Dimitri! Zedd yelled through our mindlink, but his relentless screaming could not provide me with the answers I so desperately needed.“I don’t know anything about witches!” Xena sobbed. “I swear!”I released enough pressure for her to breathe, but I didn’t let go of the chain.“Why did Scarlett save my life?”Xena stared up at me through tears, clearly thrown by the change in question. “What?”I tightened my fist around the silver. Agony shot through my hand and up my arm, but I kept my face still. “The night she found me dying. Why did she save me?”“Because she’s a healer!” Xena cried. “What was she supposed to do? Stand there and watch you die?”“Th

  • The Alpha’s Scarred Healer   Chapter 116: In Search of the Truth

    Alpha Dimitri’s POVI left Scarlett in that cell and sent one of the warriors outside the dungeon to summon Petru to my study.By the time I reached the room, my anger had only worsened. Petru had known Scarlett was Raven Moonshadow before I did, and he had used that knowledge to control her while lying to me. Several minutes passed before a knock sounded.“Enter,” I ordered.Petru stepped inside, closed the door and bowed his head. “You summoned me, Alpha?”“Sit.”He obeyed and I remained standing.“You told me Tomas became aggressive after Scarlett healed him. You claimed you broke his neck because he tried to attack her,” I stated.Petru met my gaze. “That is what happened, Alpha.”“Don’t lie to me again.” I moved around the desk. “You expect me to believe Tomas survived whatever happened during that transfer, allowed Scarlett to heal him, and then suddenly tried to attack the woman who had just saved him?”Petru’s jaw tightened. “He became violent after she healed him. I dealt wi

  • The Alpha’s Scarred Healer   Chapter 115: Punishment

    Raven / Scarlett’s POVI went quiet.“Do you even understand what you did to me?” His voice rose as he came closer. “Was last night part of Petru’s arrangement too? Was that why you came into my room? Why you kissed me? Why you climbed into my bed and let me believe that, for once, you were choosing me?”“I was choosing you.”“Stop lying to me!” His roar shook through the cell, and I flinched.“I’m not lying,” I cried. “What happened last night was real.”“And I’m supposed to believe that?” His eyes began to change as his wolf pushed closer to the surface, and claws slowly extended from his fingertips. “Your name was a lie. Where you came from was a lie. You stood beside me every fucking day and let me trust someone who didn’t even exist.” I had no answer to that, because he was right.He crossed the space between us and slammed one clawed hand into the stone beside my head.I flinched so hard my entire body recoiled from him.Alpha Dimitri froze.His eyes found mine, and whatever he

  • The Alpha’s Scarred Healer   Chapter 114: What About Him?

    Raven / Scarlett’s POVI forced myself to stay upright, even though every part of me wanted to curl into myself and disappear.Xena sat against the far wall, watching me with the same concern she had shown since the day we fled Ironclaw. I could barely stand to look at her. None of this would have happened if she hadn't tried to save me. I had married Lucan. I had stayed with him until escaping meant Xena had to abandon her own life too. She had changed her name, her hair, destroyed her Ironclaw mark and become a fugitive because she refused to leave me behind.And now she was locked in one of Bloodfang's darkest cells because she had protected me again.“I'm fine,” I told her, but even I could hear how weak the lie sounded.Xena shook her head. “You're not, Raven. And none of this is your fault.”That only made the guilt worse. Of course Xena would say that. Even now, sitting in a dungeon because of me, she was still trying to protect me from myself.I looked away before the tears co

  • The Alpha’s Scarred Healer   Chapter 113: Not His Healer Anymore

    Raven / Scarlett’s POVI felt terrible before I even made it back to the healers’ quarters. At first, I blamed Beta Petru. The conversation had left a sour feeling in my stomach, especially after hearing myself talk about what happened between Alpha Dimitri and me as though it had been nothing more than a task I had completed for him. Part of me wanted to turn around and slap him across the face. But the farther I walked, the more I realized this was something else.The warmth I had felt beneath my skin since last night was still there, but something had changed. A strange coldness now ran through the connection I still didn’t fully understand, growing stronger until I stopped in the middle of the corridor and pressed a hand against my chest. What was wrong with me?A frightening thought surfaced before I could stop it. Maybe I should tell Alpha Dimitri the truth myself.I pushed it away almost immediately, but keeping the truth from him was beginning to frighten me almost as much a

  • The Alpha’s Scarred Healer   Chapter 112: The Truth

    Alpha Dimitri’s POVI stayed in bed long after Scarlett disappeared through the connecting door, while Zedd practically basked in satisfaction at the back of my mind.Our mate came to us.“I noticed.”She wants us.I dragged a hand over my face, but there was no hiding the grin that followed. After last night, pretending patience came naturally to me was going to be considerably harder.I had spent weeks holding myself back, careful not to frighten Scarlett or push her further than she was willing to go, while constantly reminding Zedd that we couldn’t simply keep our mate in my room because he wanted her there.And after all that restraint, Scarlett had walked through that connecting door entirely on her own.She had chosen me.She had wanted me.I still couldn’t quite process how bold she had been. I had known Scarlett could surprise me, but I had no idea she could be that freaky. The memory of her mouth on my cock, wet, eager, completely unhesitant, kept replaying in my head. After
