SCARLETT’S POVONE YEAR LATER“Push!” Nurse Kimberly, the most friendly woman I'd known in the last one year yelled. There was nothing friendly in both her expression and most of her actions today. “Do you want this pup dead inside you? Huh?” she yelled. I tightened my abdominal muscles and pushed. “Alright! You are doing great! I can see him. Now push again. Harder this time.”It was about the nicest thing she'd said to me today. I tried again. “You want to suffocate him in your thighs!” she barked. “How do you know it's a boy…”“Oh shut up and push!”I panted heavily. I was tired, drenched and losing my strength. I was forcing my eyes to stay open. My two hands were each tied to strong sticks in a cross like manner. It was the full moon and the only time I could deliver my pup safely. The healer had performed a ritual. She said it was a once in a lifetime slim chance I was able to get pregnant after having my womb damaged by a poisoned dagger. But right now I felt like I may d
“What's up man?” Damian spoke into the phone. “Uhm, how far are you guys gone?”“We are already on the way back. Fill me in, what's the state of things?” He knew Asher would never have called if it wasn't something serious. “No, I'm sorry for interrupting. You should enjoy your date. I'll figure this out with Ethan.Freya grabbed the phone. “Don’t worry about my dinner with my man. Come on Asher, we started this shit together and should finish. If you need our help then you got us. We can have as many dinner dates as we want as soon as that old monster is rotting in the dungeon.” Damian was completely mused. “I'm sorry for cutting your date short but I need your help right now. Silas is surrounded and demanding I arrest him myself and Silver Fang is under seizure. Alloy Campbell’s handwork. Services are shut down.”“Isn't Scarlett on her way there?” Freya blurted, gasping. “We are on our way now.” Damian said as he hastily grabbed their jackets and they started out. The two arriv
Noah Campbell just had to come at the worst timing. Scarlett was only intending to stop briefly at Silver Fang to see her father before leaving finally. She wouldn't have planned all of this if she was going to settle here. Silver Fang wasn’t too far away for Asher to come looking for her. She knew her cravings for aloneness had been jeopardized the moment she allowed Noah to ride the same car with her. But it got worse when he began probing into things. “Did the lycan Alpha force you to do it?”“I did it because I wanted to.” She said after a brief silence. She didn't think she'd ever be in the same space alone with him again. He hurt her. He treated her like they never shared anything. Like they never had anything going on! Dumping her easily for his mate was maybe forgivable but dragging her to another Pack, that she swore never to forgive. But right now she didn't think it was worth her energy anymore. She'd forgiven him. If she had not been dragged to another Pack, she wouldn'
“We gotta talk,” Ethan said to Lucas. His body was almost healed from the torture.Lucas held the door slightly open. “Talk about what.” He questioned poking his head out of the door of his room. “About you, dude.”“What about me?”Ethan scoffed. He glanced around. “Let's talk inside or would you want me to talk right here?” He demanded in a serious tune. Lucas' eyes flickered. He had a feeling of why Ethan had visited his room. “Go on. What is it about me you wanna talk about?”“What's going on with you, man? Why's Asher the only one in the questioning room right now when he has a best friend and a Gamma? Why the fuck you cooped inside here for days?!”“Not any of your business.”“Forget about being his best friend. You are slacking in your duties as the Gamma of this Pack.”“Then take the damn title away if that will make you happy.”“What exactly the fuvk is your problem!”“If that's all, you should leave. I need to rest.”Ethan scoffed in disbelief. “Is it true? What I heard, is
“But really I'm curious. What was your plan when you came to rescue me?” Ethan asked Asher who came to check on him. When he saw Asher, he thought he had men hidden only to realize he had come alone. “Did you really believe Silas words or he bewitched you?” “I had a plan,” boasted Asher. “Showing up all alone to fight three assassins? What if Scarlett didn't show up?”“Well, I guess we'll never know.”Ethan shook his head in disbelief. “Will everything be alright? I mean, Silas is still out there and one of his strong men too.”“And worse, he could hire more men.”“We must catch him before then.” Asher said. “How? You are thinking of torturing those men? I doubt they will speak. They are highly trained assassins and I'm sure they would rather bite their tongues than sell out Silas.”“We'll find out. Bring them out.” Asher commanded. The two Silas men captured were brought into the questioning room. Asher had the room kept dim. Only the torturing equipment was highlighted by the
SCARLETT’S POV“Hope I'm not interrupting anything?” Freya asked innocently. Her face said otherwise though. Covered with a smug. “Uh no of course not.” Bitch, you just stopped me from another round of mad explosive sex! “Well, great then because I need you to help me select an outfit.” She sounded excited and was giving me this look like she wanted me to ask for details. I felt like smacking her face. She really called me out to select an outfit for her date when I was in the middle of spending time with my man whom I have missed for so long. I sighed, biting back my frustration. “Outfit for what?”“Oh yeah. Damian asked me to go to dinner with him. Outside of this house. Alone. Together.”“That's great. Happy for you both,” I said dryly. “Oh come on. Show more happiness for me.” She whined. We ended up picking a classic little red dress, flare at the waist and downward but fitted upwards. “This is perfect!” She cried when I spotted it in her wardrobe and paired one of her hee
