Scarlett’s POV:

I stared up at Caden. His hand was locked around my throat, his body looming over mine in the dark. I had not even known he was back from his trip. Finding him in my room like this sent a sharp jolt through me.

The bedside lamp was still on, casting enough soft light for me to see his face clearly. His eyes looked lost, unfocused. When his name left my lips, he blinked once but didn't move. His fingers remained firm against my skin. My heart hammered so hard I was sure he could

    I blinked, momentarily surprised. For me? I looked at the glass in her hand before shifting my gaze back to her.“Thank you,” I said hesitantly, though I hadn’t reached out to take it. I couldn’t help wondering what had suddenly prompted such kindness. Apart from Lilith, I wasn’t particularly close to any of the maids in this pack. In fact, I barely knew most of them. And considering how many people seemed displeased with my presence here, I hadn’t expected anyone to go out of their way to prepare something especially for me.The maid seemed to notice my hesitation because she quickly offered an explanation. “Alpha Caden has placed you on a nutritional meal plan, so I decided to prepare some fresh fruit juice for you as well.”My eyes instinctively moved towards Caden. I expected him to say something or at least acknowledge what she had said, but he remained seated, his attention seemingly fixed ahead of him. He didn’t even spare the maid a glance. I looked back at her. She was still

    My eyes widened. “What the hell are you doing? Put me down!”I immediately began hitting his chest, struggling against his hold. He didn’t even flinch. Instead, he adjusted his grip and started walking as though carrying me was the most ordinary thing in the world.“I can walk on my own!” I protested, continuing to hit his chest.“Then you should have been more careful.”I froze for a second.Did he just blame me?“I was only trying to catch up with you!” I argued. “You were practically running away from me!”His expression didn’t change.“If you don’t stay still, I’ll drop you hard on the ground.” His voice was cold, and his dark eyes made it clear that he wasn’t joking.I immediately went quiet. I wasn’t particularly interested in finding out whether he meant what he said. With an annoyed pout, I buried my face against his chest, partly to avoid looking at him and partly because I could already feel my cheeks heating up.His steps remained steady as he carried me along the path. I c

    Scarlett’s POVI woke up late this morning. The moment my eyes landed on the time, I scrambled out of bed and hurried into the bathroom. Caden would already be waiting, and the last thing I wanted was to give the man another reason to start his day in a foul mood.I washed quickly, barely taking the time to dry myself properly. In my haste, I wrapped the towel around my body without checking how securely it was fastened. The fabric sat loosely against my skin, leaving one side of my chest more exposed than I realized as I stepped back into the bedroom.I froze the moment I saw him.Caden stood near the middle of the room, his arms resting at his sides. He looked every bit like a strict instructor waiting for a student who had arrived late to class. His eyes found me immediately, and something shifted in his expression as his gaze travelled over me.I felt myself momentarily distracted by his appearance. The sharp lines of his face, his perfectly defined jaw, and those intense eyes mad

    Scarlett and Reya walked around the pack together as the two ladies talked and laughed like old friends. They had only met a short while ago, but Scarlett found herself enjoying Reya’s company. There was something about her that made it easy to talk without feeling uncomfortable.“Well, I have always wanted to be a warrior since I was five. I used to watch my father and mother practising together, and whenever they went out to train, I would follow them around, trying to copy whatever they did. I think that was when I decided I wanted to be just like them,” Reya said, lifting her head to look at the sky. A small smile appeared on her face as though she was remembering those days.“They must have been proud of you,” Scarlett said, glancing at her.“They were. My father was the former head commander of the pack. He was one of the strongest warriors, and my mother was just as good as him. Sometimes, I would sit outside and watch them train for hours. I couldn't wait to grow up so I could

    I asked Lilith to go ahead without me because I wanted to take a walk alone. At first, she hesitated, looking at me as though she wanted to ask why, but after a moment, she agreed and walked away, leaving me standing by myself. I let out a slow breath and started walking around the pack.As I walked down the yard, I noticed several warriors training on the open ground. They were moving around with swords in their hands, their bodies twisting and turning as they attacked and defended themselves. The sound of metal hitting metal filled the air, mixing with the occasional instructions from the man overseeing their training. I slowed my steps and moved to the side, standing at a distance as I watched them. Some of them were so fast that my eyes struggled to follow their movements, while others relied on their strength, pushing their opponents backwards with every attack. I was still watching when the man in charge suddenly raised his hand, bringing the training to a halt. The warriors im

    Scarlett’s POVI walked out of my room, my tired body dragging as I headed down the hallway to meet the pack doctor, Elara. My entire body ached, and it felt as though someone had whipped me several times without giving me a chance to recover. Caden had increased my exercise by another hour, and I was already getting tired of everything. I wasn't even allowed to decide what type of food I wanted to eat. Every time I complained, Caden's voice would ring in my ears. “Eat this. It will help your body become stronger.” As if that was supposed to make me feel better. Everything was starting to feel like a punishment, and sometimes I wondered if I'd regret coming here. But whenever that thought crossed my mind, I reminded myself of why I had agreed to this arrangement in the first place. I was doing this for a good reason, and I couldn't afford to let a little discomfort make me forget that.I followed beside Lilith until we reached the room where Elara was waiting for me. A young lady who
