Gavin's povShe wouldn't betray me. She just wouldn't. I knew it. Cheating wasn't her character. If she didn't like it, she would make it known. I knew that there must be some hidden reason for her to agree to go to Sapphire Moon. Nonetheless, it hurt like crazy. Akela wouldn't stop howling painfully in my head. Our mate was the only one in our lives and hearing that she would meet her ex-mate was agonising. Moreover, I would have to accompany her on that trip. I didn't know how I was going to deal with it. I just hoped that Akela wouldn't break free and do something stupid. I forced myself to complete my duties and dragged myself back home when the day ended. I hated the feeling I had. I felt like I was about to lose everything all over again. After losing my entire family to our enemies, I thought my life was finally taking a step towards happiness. The night I spent with her was the best in my adult life. Ever since I accepted her father as my new alpha, I had been living my lif

Scarlett's pov He hit the brakes so hard that the car screeched to a halt on the street. It was a relief that it was late and the road was deserted. Otherwise, the vehicle would have hit someone. Once the car had come to a stop, he turned to look directly at me, a deep frown etched on his face."What do you mean there aren't any sparks? Did you feel the sparks the first day?" He seemed to be genuinely confused. I nodded my head. "Yes, dad. But they were very faint. And now, they are gone. It's as if the bond never existed." He studied my face for a long time before finally giving his head a little nod to show that he understood what I told him. "I see." Heaving a breath, he clutched the steering wheel and once again started to drive towards the packhouse which was just a few feet away. Though he didn't retort against me, I could clearly see that he was still unsure."What does Iris say about it?" My body stiffened up. Even though Iris scarcely spoke, I now know that my soulmate i

Scarlett's povWell, there goes my plans for a special Valentine's Day meal. I went to my mate's house with my dad. Gavin rescheduled our planned romantic evening for the three of us to a more relaxed night. It was a bummer, yet Gavin didn't complain and opened his home to my father and me with open arms.I was impressed to see that he had put so much effort into making dinner for us. My father also was pleasantly surprised to walk into a fully cooked dinner. I was glad to find out that Gavin had cooked enough for the three of us. "I didn't know that you could cook, Gavin," my father remarked.Scratching the back of his neck, "uh, Youtube helped a lot, alpha," he sheepishly said. "Let's eat. I wasn't expecting company, but I'm glad you're here."I bit back a grin. There was a certain ease to Gavin. Dad sat down with everyone else after accepting the invitation. He didn't seem to suspect a thing as he ate with us and enjoyed the meal. There were times when I questioned whether he was

Scarlett's pov "Scarlett?" My father called again, while I hastily dressed up. I cast a glance at Gavin who was buttoning his shirt up and then at the mess on my bed. The sheets were wrinkled and the whole room reeked of sex. This wasn't the way I wanted to tell my father but there was no going back."Coming, dad!" I called out, looking at my mate once again who gave me an encouraging nod.I nodded back. I've got this…Swallowing the apprehension, I opened the door. I could tell that my father wasn't pleased. At least he didn't come to my door accompanied by his guards or his council. I would prefer that we met him alone. Nonetheless, before he said anything, I cleared my throat and spoke. "Dad, I have got something to tell you." Staring at me with unwavering disappointment, "I bet. I wasn't wrong after all. Something is going on between the both of you. You better have a good explanation for everything, young lady," he remarked, peering inside. He scrunched up his nose. "This pla

Scarlett's pov New betrayers? I just knew of the betrayal by her and Michael. The disaster would have been far worse if more members of the pack had been involved. For one whole minute, I racked my brain for a lead on who might be responsible. Who would want to kill us? I just couldn't think of anyone.I narrowed my eyes at her. Perhaps she was just bluffing? Nonetheless, I knew that we shouldn't take anything lightly. These renegades were plotting to annihilate an entire pack of wolves. And that too because of something neither of us had any control over. "You're lying," Beta Bert mumbled, staring at her. Ah, I see I'm not the only one who suspected she was fibbing. I gave her a stern and judgmental look out of the corner of my eye. She might be lying, of course. She would intentionally mislead us in order to stir up controversy. We can't put our faith in a traitor."Whatever, Georgette. I promise you though. I won't let you and Michael win," I told her and walked away. I left th
