Scarlett The chaotic pieces of the puzzle seemed aligned with each other now. Amber had performed a spell on my mate to sleep with her. I couldn’t imagine that she could stoop this low. I never hated her, I pitied her because I assumed that she was also forced to marry someone who wasn’t her mate. I was fucking wrong. She didn’t want anyone else. She wanted my mate. Anyhow. I couldn’t help but laugh at myself inwardly for thinking that I was doing wrong to her, that I was snatching her happiness. “You’re right, Letty. I’m too shocked to even say something.” Klaus put his elbows on his knees. “I have known her since childhood but never knew that she could do something like this.” As much as I hated figuring it out, I had to accept the fact. “She wants you,” I uttered in a low voice that was barely audible to me but the way his perplexed gaze stared at me, I got that he had heard me. “Or maybe worse, she loves you and wants to be with you anyhow,” I blurted out and regretted immed

Scarlett My mate was the Alpha of the Black Moonstone pack and with that, he had to abide by the responsibilities his title carried. I wouldn’t let him lose his wolf just because of me. I’ll have to convince Amber to break her spell and free Todd. I was sure that Klaus couldn’t shift since he had lost his connection with Todd which meant that he was feeble. Jenna was sleeping peacefully so I slowly closed the door of her room and was aghast when I saw Marcus standing behind me. “You scared me,” said I as I let out a low sigh of relief. He bowed his head slightly. “Hello from your brand new bodyguard.” I rolled my eyes and started strolling toward the last room on this floor. “You’re dismissed. I can take care of myself.” “I can’t leave you alone when your mate has ordered me to stay with you like your shadow,” he winked at me. “Where are you headed?” Turning my face back, I bit my lips nervously. I had to take his help, I couldn’t track down Amber alone so I decided to tell h

Scarlett My eyes opened slowly and I took in my surroundings gradually. The dark room where no trace of the light reached and as I moved my hands to get up from the floor, my skin burned and a loud painful scream left my mouth. Silver. My hands were tied with the silver chains and as I wriggled my wrists to get out of that fucking silver chains, it burned my flesh and caused me excruciating pain. My legs were also tied with the silver ropes and I couldn’t move even slightly from the position I was laying on the floor. The room was completely dark, there was no object or a person my eyes could find. I didn’t want to give up like a weakling, I wanted to fight and rise from the ground to find an escape from here but the silver ropes were making it fatiguing for me. “The bitch,” I cursed Amber beneath my fast-paced breath. I shouldn’t have trusted her. She had abducted me and as far as I could remember, she had gotten help from a strange man who wanted me alive for some ulterior

Klaus “Hold her, Marcus. She needs to stay conscious,” Asher’s hurried voice rang in my ears as I slowly gained consciousness back. “The wound is deep. It’ll take at least a week to heal completely,” he said, dressing the wound on my chest. “It’s been four hours already. When will he open his eyes, Asher?” Scarlett asked in a hushed tone. “Amber had said that he’ll have to wake up within five hours,” my father stated to which Asher sighed. “If he didn’t wake up in the next hour, he might go into a coma and for how long, I don’t even know myself. Harold didn’t use only silver, he used Wolfsbane coated sword and as an antibiotic, I have given him Wolfdicine which takes two hours to work but his body is neither showing any sign of adoption of the antibiotic nor Scarlett’s blood sacrifice,” Asher explained everything which I could easily hear but I couldn’t respond to it. My body was unable to move, it seemed like I was paralyzed. My whole body was under scorching heat, every ounce

Klaus I floated in the abyss, a realm of hazy consciousness, neither asleep nor awake. Time seemed to slip away, and the pain in my heart remained ever-present, like a relentless tormentor. In the distant echoes of my thoughts, I could sense the presence of voices, but they were muffled and distant, like whispers from another world. ‘Klaus, my love, can you hear me?’ A soft, melodic voice penetrated the darkness, pulling at the tethers of my awareness. It was Scarlett, my mate, calling to me with a voice filled with desperation and love. I struggled to respond, to reach out to her, but my body remained unresponsive, trapped in this agonizing state of paralysis. The burning pain in my heart intensified, a reminder of my helplessness. 'Amber,' Todd's voice trembled with uncertainty. 'She might be our only hope to wake you.' As if in response to Todd's suggestion, I sensed a surge of energy, a presence drawing closer to me. It was Amber, the powerful witch whose abilities had saved m
