“Ah, thank you, Natalie,” the man said as I placed his ale on the table in front of him. “I’ve missed having a drink here after a hard day’s work. You’re truly a gift from the Goddess herself.”

I beamed my best customer service smile at him. His face was becoming familiar, recognising him from the few times he’d visited over the past week that I’d been working at Hazel’s tavern. Even though it had been a short period of time, the regulars were already starting to know me by name, all of whom ha

    “Do you think we could have been happy together?” I continued. “Would you have given me a chance?”He was silent at my question, confusion flashing across his features. But internally, I felt sick. I regretted asking the second I’d said it aloud. It was only going to inflict more pain, of which I could have easily avoided had I left it alone....And I was soon proven right.His confusion quickly turned into irritation, moving his body to fall back down onto the couch as if he couldn’t even be bothered to look at me anymore.“Why ask such a pointless question?” he replied sharply, his wall immediately going back up. It had been harsh but, after a second, he then sighed and sounded more exhausted than he had the entire conversation. “Just... go to sleep, Scarlett,” was all he said.My hand tightened on the doorhandle, the wind being knocked out of me as I heard the response I’d expected. It had been stupid to even bring it up. We’d already both made up our minds that breaking the matebo

    It was a stir some hours later that woke me. The tiniest bit of movement, but enough that my head immediately shot up, worried that I’d overstayed too long. I’d planned to leave before Alistair recovered, before he could see how close I’d been sitting next to him for the hours he’d been healing... but having fallen into a deep sleep myself, I hadn’t realised how much time had passed.I quickly looked towards his face, checking to see if he was awake, but my back went completely rigid upon what I found.It was his eyes. Staring down at me. Completely alert.I recoiled at first, expecting an onslaught of questions and aggression from him, but... something was different....He was different.His golden eyes were dark, a gaze that seemed more animalistic than human. They were... predatory and primal. Not an ounce of his usual coldness to be found as he watched me.I instantly knew then that he wasn’t in control. This was... whatever this book wanted to call it. His wolf. His beast side. T

    I pressed my hand back against where I thought the bleeding was coming from, hoping to apply some sort of pressure against the wound. But there was only so much I could do whilst I kept holding him. I wouldn’t be able to keep it up for very long.Realising this, I pulled his weight further across my shoulders, and began walking him back towards the tavern. If I didn’t get him inside soon, I knew I was going to end up dropping him in the dirt. It took every muscle in my body to accommodate his weight, but thankfully the adrenaline coursing through my veins from fear helped significantly.“Natalie?” Elliot’s voice then called out.I looked up and saw him jogging towards me. “Help,” I replied back through gritted teeth.“What’s going on? Who’s... wait, is that Alistair?”“He’s hurt. We need to get him help. Can you find a guard maybe? I think there should be some near the west gate.”Instead of immediately jumping to assist as I expected, he hesitated instead, looking Alistair up and down

    If I thought I was distracted yesterday, the next day was even worse. I’d lost count on how many things I’d accidentally dropped or walked into, my mind completely occupied. I couldn’t stop thinking about the report I’d read. Did Alistair attack Liam for my sake? Or was he doing it for some other reason, irrelevant to my situation? Afterall, if he truly was going to save me, why not just approach the guard who was taking me away? Why attack Liam?I didn’t know, and I doubted I would ever have the opportunity to find out.The rest of the report hadn’t provided any other helpful information to assist me. Even Alistair’s recount was missing all of the information that would have helped fill in the gaps, mostly only relaying the same details the representative had stated. The rest of it was about the complaints raised by Aurora and Liam regarding my presence in the Capital, each for their own different reasons, which provided Alistair’s justification for bringing me to Easthaven.“Natalie?

    Over the next few days, I did my best to stay busy, mostly falling back into the routine I’d had before leaving. I was determined to help out Hazel and Rubeus as much as possible, though I knew I couldn’t make up for the pain I’d accidently inflicted upon them. There was still a very real end date to this illusion of happiness I had whilst being with them, but the issue of saying goodbye was now just a part of the planning I was doing in my spare time.With Hazel’s help, I’d found a library of sorts. They had a tonne of books that were going to prove extremely useful. Pack territories and maps being the most critical, it providing me with some information about the places I may want to potentially live one day, but I’d also found something I’d been sorely lacking since arriving in this world: a book on all the pack etiquette and formal vows one needed to know. Much to my own embarrassment, it was one intended to teach children from a young age, complete with colourful pictures on each

    “Look, I already told Victor this,” I started defensively, “but, per your father’s instructions, I’m literally just waiting for the guard to show up who is meant to be escorting me out. If you have a problem with that, you can go look for the guard yourself and ask him why he’s making me wait so long.”“Are your legs broken? Why can’t you check for yourself?” he asked coldly.Just once – literally ONE TIME – it would be nice if he could speak to me like I was a human being. After everything his father had told me today, I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt so badly. But, as always, he was making it impossible for me to not react emotionally when he kept tearing me apart so quickly.My face flushed hot and I impulsively responded. “No, thankfully, you only allowed Liam to break several of my ribs before I was finally rescued by your father. My legs are still in perfect condition. Thank you very much for checking though, Your Highness”His golden eyes narrowed, clearly annoyed,

    “What the f....,” I whispered to myself, dropping slowly to my knees in disbelief.It was surreal to see the doll-like girl mimic my actions. When I lifted my hand, so did she. When my mouth moved, so did hers. Like some sort of messed up trick room.She was nothing like the body I was used to. Wit

    The darkness only lasted for a moment.When I opened my eyes next, I was in water. Floating slowly down to the bottom of a void as bubbles filled my vision around me. Almost beautiful in the way they moved, dancing in the small light that came from above.Was this heaven? If true, it was kind of di

    “Please...,” Scarlett choked out between sobs. “Please don’t kill me. I’ll leave you alone, I swear. I’ll run away as far as possible and never come back.”But it was too late for apologies. For years, I’d suffered at Scarlett’s hands. I was beaten, starved and abused by that entire pack growing up

    “You should be in bed resting,” Liam said, holding my hand tenderly in his.I looked down at where he touched me and felt bile fill my mouth. I knew what those hands had done. I’d seen the results with my own eyes now. It was truly disgusting.“I’m fine, really,” I assured, forcing a smile on my lip
