All Chapters of Mate Reclaimed : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 11Scarlett's povI slowly blinked into consciousness as the bright rays of light from the window blinded me.I surveyed my surroundings, and all the events of the past day came rushing back into my mind as I sat up. I let out a loud sigh.For a moment, I couldn't help but wonder if I had actually made the right decision by returning to this pack. I didn't even have a plan, for Christ's sake. How was I intending to uncover those really behind my death and reveal the truth to Silas?I rose from my bed and looked out the window at a loss and as different thoughts swirled through my mind, a loud knock on my door brought me back to the present."Scarlett? Are you alright? You've been in your room all morning," Nora's voice came through the door, and from the way the sun was shining down outside I could tell it was well past noon.I barely had any sleep all night as my thoughts were preoccupied, I hadn't known when sleep had finally claimed me, and I was honestly surprised I had sl

Chapter 13Scarlett's povI remained silent as Nora led me to her room and nudged me to sit on her bed. She went into her bathroom and returned with a first aid kit and placed it beside me before she headed towards her mini fridge and brought out an ice pack."Here, place this on your cheek." She said as she handed the ice pack to me and I silently took it, unwilling to do or say anything that would make her wrath turn to me.She took some cotton and disinfectant and began cleaning a little wound just at the corner of my lip. Even though the wound stung, I remained silent and didn't flinch until she was done."Why did you let them harm you? You would have fought back," Nora finally broke the stifling silence between us."It's easier to let them think they are in control, if I fought back and they saw me as a threat they would have done much worse," I explained to her and I could see understanding in her eyes but also defiance."It doesn't matter, they will be punished for what they di

Chapter 15Scarlett's povI bolted from the bed as the howls became louder my heart beat loudly in my chest and I slowly rose from the bed and made my way towards the window. Longing enveloped me as I watched the wolves of the Nightshade pack running around with abandon at Silas's lead. Instinctively, I searched deep within me trying to see if my wolf was still there...if I could feel her, no matter how faint, I couldn't feel anything but a hollow in my chest.What had become of my wolf? Scarlett's wolf? Was I going to remain wolfless for the rest of my life?The thought sent a pang through me and I focused my attention back on the wolves below. My traitorous eyes landed on Silas' magnificent brown wolf and I watched his skilled movements as he led his wolves.He stopped abruptly and let out a deep howl into the night and his wolves followed his lead and did the same and I couldn't help but wish I was by his side, as Luna howling alongside our pack.I shook my head at my wistful thin

Chapter 17Scarlett's pov"What's going on?" I asked Nora as I noticed her setting up Alpha Silas' private sitting room. I was baffled she had let me come in with her as I knew Silas never let just anyone in this particular sitting room except those he trusted.He would no doubt be furious when he learned that I was here and as I stared around the room, just like everywhere else in the pack, it hadn't changed at all. Everything was still in place just as I remembered it and my eyes rested on a couch which was placed in the far corner of the room. A couch that Silas and I usually cuddled on when things just seemed a bit too much."The seer is coming to see Silas," Nora explained as she took a step back to ensure the room was ready for the seer's visit.Gary was coming to see Silas? The seer rarely ventured out of his cottage which was discreetly hidden in the woods because he preferred to be alone. The only time he made his way into the pack house was if he had something important he w

Chapter 19Silas' povI tossed and turned in my bed, willing sleep to claim me, but I knew that, just like every other night, it would be futile.Jax, my wolf, whined within me and I wondered what his problem was.'Mate, I want our mate." He called out to me and I sighed. He had been like this ever since Elara died and I was unsure how to make him understand that we didn't have a mate anymore. Our mate betrayed the pack and now she was gone forever, no matter how many times I tried to make Jax understand that he just remained hardheaded and unwilling to accept it.'Go to mate," He called out within me again but I ignored him as I groaned and rose from the bed.I might as well go on a run, the only thing that seemed to calm Jax these days as he was becoming more and more insistent.I wore a loose pair of shorts and made my way out of the pack house, enjoying the cool breeze which immediately hit my face as I closed the door behind me.The moon illuminated my path and I started with a s
