Semua Bab Killed By My Mate, Saved By Another : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Scarlett’s POVThe air between Rhylie and me filled with heat, like a fire waiting to burn everything in its way. Her hand was held in the air, fingers twitching as if she were about to slap me into the ground. My heart raced, but I didn’t flinch. I wasn’t about to give her the satisfaction of seeing me back down.But then, her wrist was caught mid-swing and I froze, my breath catching in my throat. Who would dare intervene?My eyes trailed up the arm that held Rhylie back, landing on a man standing behind her. His grip was firm but relaxed, and there was a teasing smile playing on his lips. He looked at Rhylie as if they had known each other for long.“Still feisty, are we Rhylie,” the man said, his voice deep and filled with amusement.Rhylie’s eyes widened in shock, her mouth hanging open as she recognized the man. “Kent! When did you get back?” she stammered, her anger immediately replaced by surprise.“Ten minutes ago,” Kent replied, finally releasing her wrist. His eyes stared

Scarlett’s POVThe night was dark and suffocating, as though the shadows themselves were closing in around me. I was running, my heart pounding in my chest as I tried to escape the suffocating grasp of the trees that twisted and bent unnaturally. The forest was alive, moving with a dark energy that pulsed with the curse.The man... he was here. I could feel him.His cold, Harsh voice echoed through the trees. “You can’t run from me, Scarlett. You can’t run from your fate.”I stumbled, falling to the ground as his shadow came over me. I looked up, seeing nothing but darkness, yet feeling his presence all around me. His fingers, cold and sharp, grasped my throat, squeezing the breath from my lungs.“You will have to choose,” he hissed, his voice shouting into my ears like an echo. “And when you do, everything you love will be destroyed.”I tried to scream, but no sound came out. My body was frozen, paralyzed by the choking of the man's hand and the curse.This is a dream. It has to be

Rhylie’s POVI could feel the deaf silence of the witches’ chamber leaving a cold, unsettling feeling in my stomach. The voice, the one that whispered through the darkness, hadn’t been part of the spell. It was something else, something ancient and far more dangerous than I had anticipated.I took a shaky breath, staring at the altar in front of me, the blinking candlelight. My hands trembled as I gripped the edge of the table, my heart pounding wildly in my chest.“What was that?” I whispered to myself, feeling the pulse of magic still lingering in the air. The ritual had been interrupted, but the dark magic was still moving around me, suffocating, waiting for me to make a decision.I glanced down at the book in front of me, the forbidden spell I had begun still open, the blood from my earlier incantation drying on the page. My mind was racing, fear battling with my desperate need to keep Zane. The voice had been a warning, one I should have heeded, but I couldn’t afford to stop now.

Zane's POVMy hand froze inches from Rhylie’s door, my body torn between instinct and reason. Everything in me screamed to turn around, to walk away before I did something I will be regretting for the rest of my life. But the bond... the pull to her was undeniable, stronger than I had ever felt.I could feel Dalton pacing in my mind, his fury making my mind feel like a burning furnace. "Zane, don’t do this. You know something’s wrong."But I couldn't understand what he meant; Rhylie was our mate; it was normal to feel this way, but what bothered me more was the fact that ….It didn’t make sense. Just last night, all I could think about was Scarlett. The way her lips felt against mine, the way her body had fit so perfectly in my arms. But now... it was like she was fading, slipping away, and all I could think about was Rhylie.It wasn’t natural. It couldn’t be.The door opened before I even knocked, and Rhylie stood there, her eyes wide with surprise. I stared at her all I could feel we

Scarlett’s POVI had woken up this morning, hoping to get something done. I had cried myself to bed yesterday, but right now, my thoughts are spinning wildly. Ever since I had seen Zane in Rhylie’s room, my emotions were tangled in a mess I couldn’t seem to untangle. I didn’t want to care. I told myself repeatedly that I shouldn’t. The mate bond, whatever was pulling me toward Zane, wasn’t real. At least, it wasn’t meant to last. Maybe it might disappear after the whole deal thing.You’re stronger than this, Scarlett. I muttered to myself, but the pounding in my chest disagreed. Every time I thought of Zane with Rhylie, I don't know, but I felt anger, hurt, and confusion.Like as if I got betrayed for the second time."Forget about it," I whispered, shaking my head as if that would clear the thoughts from my mind. "You have bigger things to worry about. The curse, your revenge Zane doesn’t matter."But he did. No matter how much I fought it, the bond between us was there, pulling at m
