LOGINChapter 57: AsherDays have passed since that night, yet every morning I woke up with a foul mood.I went about my duty, barely speaking or talking to anyone— except Angel, who for some reason was working extra hard to always be in my line of sight.Even if I didn't call for her, she kept coming. And somehow, I let her.I had to.Even if Scarlett was my fated mate and my heart fucking belonged to her, I couldn't give in to those emotions.No. My entire generation depended on it.If I allowed the love to grow beyond what it already was, I would end up abandoning my fight for justice. I would end up leaving her family on my lands.So I avoided her or anything that had to do with her and chose to focus my energy on Angel instead.But I could only do this for so long. The first guests were already scheduled to arrive for the festival and I was going to face her again.My heart was already starting to race but I decided to enjoy the moments for as long as I could.So, that day, I spent it
Chapter 56: AsherThe moment I got to my room, I couldn't sleep. I tried to convince myself over and over that Scarlett was alright but I couldn't.In the end, I got off my bed and went down to the dungeon again.I told myself that the moment I saw her, I would just make sure she was healthy and that truly the inducers had been removed. Then I would turn back.My wolf was restless and my body was hot with need. Yet I kept lying to myself that I was only going to check on her and return to my room.When I finally got to the dungeon, the guards didn't wait to be sent out before they did the needful.The moment they saw me coming, they bowed and turned to the corridors, leaving the main hall and cell empty.As I walked past them, their leader handed me the key with a low bow, his eyes fixed on the ground.I was about to pass him when I suddenly stopped, recalling what I could need from him."How is she doing?" I asked him.The man met my gaze in surprise before turning his eyes away. "Sh
Chapter 55: AsherI couldn't face Scarlett nor myself. Not after what we just shared.Hoping to slip away from her without a conversation, I quickly wore my pants and started for the door."Asher..." She whispered just as my fingers brushed the door and I froze.I couldn't look at her. I couldn't even bring myself to speak. Not when her voice was so full of emotions... So full of memories..."Will you come again tomorrow night?" She asked and I frowned.Before I could stop myself, I turned to her. "What are you talking about?""Fiona must have..." She stopped, pulling her robe over her naked— beautiful body— "She must have given me something to induce heat... I can't control it."My eyes widened in shock and building anger but before I could speak, she added;"It hurts when you... Are not near me... Please come back when you can..."I couldn't reply to her. My breath caught in my throat and air vanished all around me.How could I say no to that? And worse, how could I even tell her th
Chapter 54: AsherBy morning, I was starting to lose my fucking mind. Angel wasn't what I wanted.Fuck I couldn't sleep. My cock wouldn't let me.Not even after I tried to do several rounds on Angel. Nothing changed. It was like giving a thirsty man a couple of drops of water.Nothing could quench my thirst like Scarlett could. And I refused to admit that. I forced my body to accept Angel.I did all I could. I was brutal. I was gentle. I was everything, yet, nothing changed.My cock was still throbbing hard like a curse had been passed through my veins somehow.And the only way it could reach its climax was with Scarlett.Fuck! She had me under a spell. I couldn't deny that because why was it like this?Why couldn't I erase her scent from my memories? Why did I need her so badly?Why were thoughts of her carved in my mind like a brand I couldn't cancel out?"I hate you Scarlett..." I growled, dragging a hand over my jaw."My King, did you say something?" Angel mumbled as she stirred b
Chapter 53: Asher"Asher, all I did was give her a list," Albert said in an even tone. "Not some dagger... Please Asher, just try to calm down-""Don't tell me to fucking calm down!" I snapped, glaring at him with blazing eyes. "Do you know what you have done?"His wise eyes dimmed and he frowned."You have ruined the very plan you told me about! You allowed her to do that, Albert! You freaking sold me out!" I yelled in one breath."Asher, don't make this seem like I betrayed you. All I did was follow the right protocol to avoid sanctions and questions," he defended and my eyes rolled in disbelief."Oh so now it's my fault?""I am not saying that it is. All I am trying to pass across to you is that, she is the Luna. You made her Luna. Of course I will let her perform her duties whether you admit them or not." He countered.His words fueled both guilt and rage inside of me. And before I could stop myself, I stalked towards him with clenched fists."Do you even know what this means? Hav
Chapter 52: AsherI managed to survive four days without dwelling on Scarlett. I avoided her and made sure the only female I saw and spent time with was Angel.And even though my wolf felt suffocated, I forced it to live that way. Because it was going to be our new way of living soon anyway.After the festival, I would most definitely not even remember that Scarlett existed in my life for the next couple of months.By then this irritating need I felt inside of me towards her would fade and I could forge on with my plans without any restraint.My thoughts were roaming over these points as I sat in my study, going over the reports and occasionally I glanced at Albert's preparation of the festival.When he had mentioned it at first, I found it stupid because I feared what my heart would do on a day like that. But after finding out that I could tweak it to my advantage, I couldn't wait for the day to arrive."My king," one of my guard's voices sliced through my thoughts.I slowly raised
Chapter 21: ScarlettAsher’s eyes stared at me like a predator stalking a prey it had in its trap. My words were irrelevant. There was nothing I could do in front of this bloodthirsty man than to comply.My trembling hands slowly reached for the strap on my gown, and I slowly slid them off my shoul
Chapter 26:Scarlett's POV."Relax, Luciano. Why are you getting so worked up?" I asked. I was back in my room, getting ready to go to Asher's bedroom. I was nervous and worried, but Luciano seemed to be more worried than I was. "He seems very confident. I saw him talking to the healers before."
Chapter 35: AsherSeeing her perfectly naked body right in front of me, my wolf went wild with hormones shutting from every cell.My cock twitched painfully, wanting nothing but to thrust deep and hard inside of her.The thoughts in my head got pushed aside as all my traitorous wolf wanted was to
Chapter 24: AsherI went to a secluded space in the castle and made sure no one was around before I redialled the number. I was still irritated at Scarlett and her guts— if only this partner hadn't called would have given her a piece of my mind.Immediately the phone began to ring, my partner picke
