Scarlett's pov“You should be my assistant.”I look at the words written on the note and I blink in case I just viewed them wrong, but I didn't. I read it right. The words are there, clear as day, and I don't know what to think about it.I mean I could become his assistant, I was never allowed to do anything in Hunter’s pack, not because he wanted to take care of me that way but because he saw me as incapable of doing anything. I was meant to produce his heir, and when I gave birth to Maya instead of a son for him, I failed at the one thing I was meant to do.I was seen as useless from that moment forward. I graduated from High School and was well into my college education before I met Hunter. The mate bond snapped tight between us when I was Twenty years old. Just when I imagined I would never get a mate, and right there and then I gave everything up for him.To become his Luna and his mate.“I wonder what he sees in you.”I turn at the sound of that voice and surprisingly it does

Roman’s pov.“Calm down. I know what I'm doing.”Scarlett regards me calmly and cocks her head to the side. “Are you sure?”“I am.”Everything between us feels so settled right now that I don't know what to think of it. She’s still beautiful, as beautiful as she was when I first saw her, but now, with the hair change, she feels different.I think I've always been aware that this has been happening. Right from that moment when she held a gun in her hands and shot wolves down so she could protect herself and her daughter.Scarlett is bolder now, she would never have asked me a question like that a week ago.“He’s the one who saw me this morning.”I look at her and nod.“I sent him to your room to get you.”“And he saw me naked.”“He did what?”Fenrir’s anger is like a lance at my throat. The pressure building in my chest is remarkable, but he’s not the one in control, I am.Scarlett’s eyes are wide in shock and I see she’s flinched. I relax back into my seat and close my eyes so I can

Scarlett's pov “Mummy, your body is really hot.”I open my eyes to see Maya leaning over me. Her purple eyes still strike me as strange whenever I see them. It makes her look exotic, lends her a special kind of beauty, and seeing her worry leaking through from those eyes makes me smile. “It’s okay Maya. The room is just really warm.” She nods and lies down again, her head on my chest now and her eyes on the ceiling. “How long are we going to stay here mummy?” Surprising questions seem to be Maya’s forte and I should be used to it now, but it still surprises me. “Why do you ask?”“I like it here. Beta Fen has promised that he’ll let me train as a warrior if I come out top of my class for the next two years.” The frown that lines my face is spectacular. I thought I said no more discussing things with Maya without my permission. “Do you want to become a warrior, Amaya? Maya stills and turns to stare at me, eyes wide. “Did I do something wrong? You only call me Amaya when it’s s

Scarlett’s pov.If I had known this was one of the duties I would carry out as Roman’s personal assistant, I think I would have asked for some more money.Shit, I haven't discussed my pay with him yet.I bite my cheek in regret at that fact and smoothen the bed. There isn’t too much to do in his room, at least not from what he informed me that I had to do. I have tidied up his room, I've also asked one of the guards to help me with a vacuum cleaner. The guard assumed I was a cleaner anyways so he’s sent for one. I should be done when I vacuum the room, which in actuality is just for the show of it. Roman's room isn’t dirty, it’s spotless, thanks to me, but I still have a lot to do.If I'm going to clean up his room, I'm going all out.The vacuum cleaner arrives and I take it with a smile. His room is huge.I know I've been in here before, I can remember waking up in that bed twice, but now that Roman’s not here and I am the only one in the room, it feels different in a way.I have

Roman’s pov. Scarlet hasn’t shown up for work yet.I don’t know what to make of that but I know it leaves me restless.Fen is a lazy form in my office, his blazer has been thrown off to one corner and his legs are currently on my table.I growl at the sight of it and he rolls his eyes.“Relax Alpha. I’m sure the moment she sees the ten thousand dollar ensembles you ordered for her, she’ll be running here as fast as she can.”“Does she even know how to find her way here?”The worry in my voice is appalling but Fen doesn’t call me out on it. I haven’t seen my father since the Myrtle incident. I only just remembered a few hours ago that he asked to go on temporary leave, and I'm assuming he’s currently on that leave.Guilt twists in my heart because I should feel worried about him.No member of the pack has been the same ever since the rogue attack, but not many will feel the loss accrued that day like Alpha Kai.He was supposed to retire as Alpha the year that happened. I was ready
