Scarlett, There was a commotion in the corridor, and I heard people running. I sat up in bed, and I knew we were under attack. It was sudden, and I did not know what to do. Why hadn't my mates returned yet? I felt someone try my door, and when it didn't open, the person broke the lock. The man was huge, easily six feet six inches. I swallowed because his brown eyes had a murderous look in them. I did not know what to do. I wasn't a fighter. "Come here!" he roared at me, and I began to shake. What was happening? I heard something go off like a bomb, and I shook. The man seemed impatient and walked up to me and grabbed my hair. He began to drag me by it. It was painful, and I felt some strands come off the roots. "Please," I begged; the pain was blinding, and tears were in my eyes. "Is this the bitch?" The man said, and I looked at who they were asking. She was a staff member. They held a gun to her head, and she nodded immediately. "Time to pay for daddy's sins, Vladislav," the m

Scarlett. My mates pleaded with me to move into their apartment, but I insisted on returning to mine. I knew if I moved back in, we would go all the way, and I wasn't ready yet. I wanted it, looked forward to it, but I wasn't ready. I did not know when I would be, but I hoped it would be soon. Lucian was the most heartbroken, and he offered to walk me back to my room. I thought Clay and Maxwell would follow us, but they remained. I opened my room and noticed the lock had not been fixed. "I will get someone to do that once I can. The settlement is in disarray. Getting someone from around here will be difficult." Lucian explained to me. It was cute watching him find the right words. "It's okay, Lucian. I can manage. I am just glad the women they tried to take are safe." I said and walked in. He followed me in, and I went straight to bed. " Clay said this rarely happens," I said, and he nodded, joining me in bed. I felt it was a bit weird, but I let him. I felt the pull toward him, an

Scarlett.I spent the entire day getting acquainted with how the pack house was run. Since I was going to be luna, it was only wise for me to take up the reins. Lucian had insisted, and I had obliged. I wasn't confident in them yet, but my doubts and mistrust quickly faded. I hoped we get together eventually and love each other. The fact that my wolf hadn't come bothered me, and I knew once I turned nineteen and she was a no-show, then being wolfless would be official. I knew I wouldn't be able to do much as a wolfless wolf. I hoped that whatever the goddess had in store for me was good. I was nervous about what they would find at the seer's, and I wished I followed them, but I didn't want to seem clingy, so I let it rest. I noticed the pack house workers didn't like me much, and being a Vladislav was one of the reasons. I tried to smile through the hostility. I was grateful that they could not act out their feelings. I wanted to understand my mates' eating preferences, so I went to

Scarlett. "Please," I moaned with tears of bliss streaming down my cheeks. "Mine," I heard Vinn growl as he sank his teeth into the sweet spot on my neck. An orgasm ripped through my body. "Ahhhh," I cried, and he kept his teeth in as he began to pump fervently, growling and groaning. "Mine," he kept saying, and the orgasm ripped through me. I felt the cord connecting us thicken and tighten. It was strong and permanent. He pulled out his teeth and licked the wound. On instincts, I bit down on his sweet spot. It was hard breaking the skin, but the organism washing through me gave me the strength to sink my human teeth into his sweet spot. He held me tightly, and I felt his cock, pulsate inside me. I sucked on his mark and felt weak immediately. Clay laid me gently on the bed and pulled himself out of me. I knew the weakness I felt was because I was wolfless in nature. My body still wanted more regardless of the lack of energy. I knew it was because we were yet to complete the bond.

Lucian As much as I needed Gregory's assistance to help with commerce in the north, I did not like seeing him flirt with Scarlett. She was also being too nice to him. I knew it would be wrong to scold her in his presence, so I bore it. I did not feel relief until she stylishly refused to dance with him. I did not know why I should be worried. Scarlett was ours, but I was nervous and concerned. The guy seemed smitten by her. We used to say Scarlett wasn't attractive, but lack of care caused it. Now that she was cared for, she looked stunning. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and I wasn't saying this because of the mate bond. She had gained some weight, and she looked voluptuous. Everything about her could drive a man crazy. Gregory was being sleazy by trying to sell the western dream to her. She was smart enough not to reveal her bloodline, but she was obviously a southerner. Her tanned skin and dark wavy hair said it all. Gregory was sleazy. He knew northern and so
