LOGINChapter 58: ScarlettMy eyes instantly flew to Asher at the elders comment and from the subtle panic swimming in his orbs, I knew he hadn't thought to arrange for that.And frankly, I didn't even think of it because I thought he would have it figured out.But somehow, I had to save the day. That was my job.When Albert had come to finally set me free, I told myself that it was going to be the last time Asher had me arrested. Because I was going to prove my worth beyond being just a mate.I was going to show him my importance as his Luna. And this was my chance."That has been arranged for... right?" One of the elders asked, following the brief silence that settled.Asher was slightly fidgeting, so I took up courage. "Oh sure. Everything has been taken care of. Someone will be with you shortly to get your preferences in women," I suddenly countered, shocking the hell out of him."Ah beautiful," they beamed with excitement as one of the maids quickly came to lead them to their rooms.A
Chapter 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 23: ScarlettAsher’s command felt like a far distant breeze. I couldn’t believe I heard it correctly until the guards moved from the door and walked inside.They began to bring out their swords, ready to skewer Bee while he slept harmlessly like a baby. That was when, alarm spread through m
Chapter 17: Scarlett. Every fiber of my body wanted to push Luciano away.His words were just complements but they felt wrong. His eyes on me felt wrong. This was wrong. I was mated to Asher, who was his Alpha and King.If words got out that he was throwing such compliments at me, it could mean in
Chapter 13:ScarlettI knew my punishment couldn’t be anything good, but I prepared my mind for it. Because I knew that I deserved it for being stupid.None of this should have happened. I should have found a way to tell everyone of his evil schemes. I shouldn’t have sat there overthinking the cons
Chapter 28: Scarlett's POV. I slowly opened my eyes, and followed the rays of light that fell on the bed.My body was sore. Yet I felt energized.A smile spread on my face as I remembered the events of last night—“It was a dream, right?” I whispered to myself.But as my eyes took in my surroundin
