Arielle’s POV  Every time I said I didn't care about how Scar felt about me, I lied. Every time I said I had given up, it was a lie. I was always hanging on to that thin thread of hope, the little glimmer of what I thought was love and affection he’d thrown in my face when he held me close but that wasn’t anything more than him just being kind, it was all part of the game and the agreement we made and it was time for me to decide and I had already decided, that I was going to bury all that I felt for him, I had to stick to the agreement and catching feelings wasn't part of it.That was the least of my problems, I checked the library in the house and I couldn't find anything on the Rhavka pack, nothing to show that a pack like that ever existed, and not only did that worry me, it scared me. It was all so new and so out of place, so wrong, that I felt sick at the thought of not being able to find ou

  Scar’s POV I watched Arielle sleep naked after last night, her red hair was a fiery contrast to the dark of the room and her chest rose and fell quickly as she slept and her hands were wrapped around her stomach. She looked like a goddess, and even in slumber, I could see the soft curves of her body that had haunted my dreams for years. She was perfect. So beautiful in fact that it almost hurt. It was like looking at a painting or one of those famous sculptures, and seeing how real they were. Her lips were parted slightly, and when she breathed out I caught a whiff of something uniquely her. A hint of vanilla from the shampoo she used, but also something else. Something spicy. The scent lingered on my skin and mixed with the musky scent of our passion. She smelled so fresh and clean, even though we had been intimate only moments earlier, I could still smell the lingering traces of her arousal clinging to me. The sen

Scar's POVI couldn't believe how reckless I had been with Arielle, she could have lost the baby or something worse. I was a fool to listen to her demands, my demands, and that of my wolf as well.I had gotten a call and left praying that she’d be fine.Something had happened to the pack, the bodies of two children had been found that morning. They were friends and each hadn't returned home the previous day and their parents assumed that each had decided to spend the night at the other's house after school.Madisyn Delores and Adeline Delaford, the two girls were only eleven and when I had gone to look at them, their necks looked like they had been bitten by something, it didn’t look like a bite from a werewolf or lycan, more like some creature I could not even identify and on their bodies had weird symbols carved on them, like some kind of curse or ritual.Something like this had never happened before and I tried to console the family while the men from my council tried to figure out

Arielle's POVIt was breakfast that morning and I refused to go down since that had become part of my routine, not because I didn’t want to or because of whatever I had going on with Scar but because Sheliah wouldn’t let me, she kept grunting and growling from my insides, draining me of every energy that I had and then some. I couldn’t concentrate at all and it took an effort just to get ready for bed, which I’m sure looked like something I had gotten in a tussle with a wolf, hair all ruffled, and clothes crumpled. Technically, I had.There was a knock on the door and dragging myself from the bed to the door and there stood the last person I expected to see.In a plain ravishing black dress with silver trim and buttons running along her collarbone and over her shoulders. Her hair was pulled back into a tight bun and held by pins with small diamonds dangling around her ears and everything screaming perfection as usual was Scar's mother.The blood in my veins ran cold as she smiled swe

Arielle's POV“You are the cause of this. You caused this, all of it” Scar’s mother screamed angrily pointing at me as we stood in front of Penelope's door, it seemed as if she wanted to rip my head off my body and tear every piece of my flesh “How dare you make my daughter suffer like that. How dare you, why don't you answer? You're the reason behind all of this” Scar’s Mother continued yelling.I couldn't understand her, I didn't even do anything wrong, I didn’t do anything to Penelope so why was she accusing me?“But I didn't do anything, “I told her truthfully and the look she gave me made me realise that I shouldn't have said anything instead.“Mother! What are you doing?” Scar held her back when he realised that she was about to march towards me.Eyes raging like an angry oceanShe ignored him and her gaze quickly returned to me. It was cold and malicious but I was surprised that I didn't even flinch. “You deserve to rot in hell for touching bringing this upon my daughter, you
