I was in deep sleep. Sleeping away my pain, my humiliation, my pride and my broken heart. I couldn't believe this. God, I messed up big time. No mate. No love. No nothing. My senses felt numb. My eyes sore due to the heavy flooding of tears I was shedding. "Come to bed Julian." That one line was on constant replay in my mind. Like a scratch record. My brain failed to erase it. It was a just a reminder of how badly I'd fucked up. "Scarlett!" I heard someone calling my name. I didn't pay it any mind. Didn't want to acknowledge it."Scarlett Ross!" The person sounded again."Wake up!" I groaned at this intruder who was breaking me from my slumber of thoughts. I didn't want my best friend to see me like this, vulnerable, pathetic and weak. But what could I do, he's my mate for christ sakes. But it was already too late, Nina had burst through my door fuming, I'd imagined."Oh my God, Scarlett..." She whispered as she came closer to my bed and looked at my current state. She sat down on

We stood in Scarlett's room. She was still sleeping, she seem to have impove because color was returning to her skin.Couple seconds later, Dr. Jackson appeared in the room."Morning everyone." She acknowledges us. We quickly mumble the same greeting back to her."So we've run some tests, and Scarlett is fine and healthy." She informed all of us. Everyone was super relieve to hear the good news, especially my mother. "Oh thank God." My mother breathed as she place her hand over her chest."However, we did come across something else though." There was a deafening silence in the room."What is it doctor?" Dad spoke up for us."Well you see, Nina told us that she fainted as well as her skin tone was pale. Her blood count was low too. She hasn't been properly eating either, and she seem a bit stressed as well."Nobody spoke. We weren't really sure where she was going with this."We found out that Scarlett is pregnant." "Oh my God, doctor." My mother was once again relieved. "This is t

***Scarlett's PovIt had been two hours since my mother decided to drag me out of my bed to look at the various dresses down in the living room for tonight's gala. I wasn't impressed with any of the choices that the stylist had picked. Albeit I was two months pregnant and going, I didn't want my baby bump to be showing to the public as yet. I mean, a pregnant Luna without her mate wasn't what I was going for. Believe it or not people love to talk. I just didn't want to be the main topic of their idle gossip tonight."Sweetheart," my mother called me from my thoughts. "You need to pick a dress." I was sitting on the couch in our living room. The stylist had about six different racks of beautiful dresses. Maybe if I'd actually paid attention I could actually pick something nice. But I didn't want to go for nice tonight. I wanted to go for jaw - dropping - I - don't - look - like - I'm - two - months - pregnant look. Or was that too much? Either way, I made my way over to the stainless

I quickly turn away from his smoldering gaze because I didn't want him to see the truth in my eyes. I squeeze my eyes shut from keeping the tears from falling.He walked over to where I was standing and spin me around to face him. He captured my hands in a tight grip, holding them close to his chest. I looked up at him with my eyes filled with emotion. "Are you sleeping with him, Scarlett?" He asked softly. "What?" I whispered in shock. "You heard me. Now answer the question." He urged.His granite expression meant that he was serious. I snatched my hands out of his steel like grip and crack my hand against his cheek. "How dare you insult me the way you just did. I'm not sleeping with him you bastard, you and I are not in the same category Mr. Cesario. Furthermore, I'm pregnant you insensitive asshole!"I examined my bruised hand, looking at the purple faded scars that were now left there. I turned my back to him as I rubbed my hand to ease the pain."You're pregnant?" I didn't ans

Seven Months Later with baby in tow...*** Scarlett's PovHit.My body convulsed at the wave of pain that woke me in the middle of night. I removed the covers and turn on the lamp that sat on top of the night stand. I look down on my bed where I was sitting, where a liquid substance was covering my legs and the sheets. Hit.I was breathing heavily right now. Sweat bedded my forehead, as it was run down the sides of my face. I scream out so loud that I think Julian could've heard it all the way in England. Ugh! Fucking England! After Julian's proposal on the boat, we decided it would be a good idea to get married before the baby was born. So we did. During our reception, Julian received an emergency call that he was needed immediately to take care of some pack issues in England. Something about rogues attacking the city and killing innocent civilians.Knowing my husband, he was quick to assist Uncle Thorn because he was the only father figure he knew. Which meant he respected him en
