Scarlett “You can’t reject your mate, Scarlett. You’re a lantern and your wolf is too weak to survive after the pain of rejection. You’ll die if you reject him,” Layla interpreted when I told her that I wanted to reject him. I didn’t want him to do a duel with the Alpha King for me because there was no way anyone could win against the Alpha King. “Doesn't lantern mean just late bloomers?” I cross-questioned, feeling despondent hearing what she told me. Layla averted her gaze and looked at the ceiling of the hall. “Lantern means weak wolves who need time to shift thus your chances of survival after rejection are too low to even consider the idea. And your weak wolf is the reason behind your fainting, too. Whenever any changes happen in your body, your wolf isn’t able to bear it.” “What’s the solution, then?” I asked annoyingly, neglecting the pain in my chest which started like a fog. Layla suppressed her lips before shaking her head. “Nothing, we can wait for your wolf to show up,

Klaus “You shouldn’t have shunned me out before trying to kill us,” Todd growled, taking the control of my body and pushing me back to my mind where he lived. I could only feel the pain in my chest as doctor Asher stitched my wound up, my eyes weren’t opened yet but I had heard all the voices in my unconscious state. Though my body was losing warmth, when I heard her saying I love you via mind-link, I felt goosebumps and regretted my actions as I saw how badly I had affected my mate. “Just like I’m your part, our mate is also a part of you and everything that we do will affect our mate. She is enduring vast pain due to your ridiculous action, you arsehole,” Todd reprimanded me and started healing me with his powers. “I’m sorry, okay?” I retorted to him. I knew what I did was wrong but at that time, I was feeling so lonely and broken that instead of asking for help from my mate, I attempted suicide. My wolf whimpered loudly, pouting his mouth like a puppy. He always seemed cute wh

Scarlett “I…I don’t want this. I want you,” he uttered with affection in his eyes. I wished he would have worn a shirt but his chest was covered with the white bandages to protect his wound from any infection. Yanking his neck, I pulled his mouth closer to me and stood on my toes to kiss him. Fu-k my short height! Caressing his back with my hands, I plunged my tongue into his mouth and deepened the kiss. He bent down so I wouldn’t have to lift my feet to reach his lips, it made me smile between our kiss. We broke our kiss when we both were panting hard, leaving each other breathless. I held his face in mine and peeked into his chocolaty eyes. “You don’t need to explain anything, our memories have been swapped and I have felt your pain, too. I know that you love me and I…I love you, too.” Finally, I said those words to him and the burden on my chest reduced. It felt amazing when he said those words to me. I should make him feel that, too. He deserved to know that I loved him no m

Scarlett With a loose tie hanging around his neck along with a black suit and crisp white shirt beneath the waistcoat, he barged into my room before pulling me in a bone-crushing embrace. I fastened my arms around his hips tightly, not saying anything but feeling the warmth of his body against mine. "I…I did it," he whispered in such a low voice that I didn't know if I was meant to hear it or not but I had heard it anyway. Running my hands down his back, I nuzzled my nose into the crook of his neck, inhaling his strong cinnamon and pine scent that soothed me. Plastering a smile on my face, I hid my pain. The emotions I was dealing with were beyond mere jealousy and hurt. Imagining him kissing another woman in front of everyone broke my heart. I hadn't seen her yet and to be honest, I never wanted to run into her. She was lucky because she had my mate and that too, rightfully, unlike me who will have to fight to have him. "I have had enough of everyone, now. I'll tell them

Scarlett "Enough,” raising my hand up, I shouted loudly enough to earn the attention and silence of the audience who were busy chattering about the injustice with Amber and calling me names. How could they expect me to tolerate this shit? Removing the ring from my finger, I walked to Evelyn whose face had a haughty expression on her face for me. Klaus’s mother hated me, that was for sure but why? I couldn’t figure it out. “Thank you so much, Alpha, for giving me the honor of being a Luna,” I endorsed from a safe distance, looking in his way before turning my face toward the people who were holding the champagne flute in their hands and declared openly, “I owe nothing to you people so I won’t explain anything to you and you can hate me as much as you want, till your heart’s content. I couldn’t care less about your opinions of me.” I knew the consequences of my brutal action. I was being rude, selfish, and a mean bitch but at the end of the day, I had a heart, too. And my heart was
