Essence Scarlett

On the day I'm set to give birth, a rogue crashes his car into the convoy that's meant to transport me and Alison Cranwell to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. My water breaks the moment the crash happens. A mixture of blood and amniotic sap soon dyes my seat crimson. At the same time, intense pain flares from my abdomen. My Alpha mate, Caleb Bright, rushes over immediately and hoists the doctor by the collar. "You must protect the she-wolves and their pups!" Warmth floods my heart at that moment. It continues spreading throughout my body until I get wheeled into an operating theater. Since the general anesthesia has yet to fully take effect, I can vaguely make out Marcus Knight, Caleb's Beta, speaking to him in a lowered tone. "The thing is, Alpha Caleb, Luna Selina is suffering from heavy bleeding as well. But we only have one vial of the most effective Lunar Grass essence left. If we don't use it on her, I'm afraid that she and the pup will—" "Alison is pregnant with my dead brother's only pup. She must not be harmed no matter what," Caleb states icily. "Selina is very strong, and her wolf can endure her grievous wounds. As for that pup… well, we'll have another one in the future." But what Caleb doesn't know is that I didn't just lose my pup that night—I've lost the last trace of love I have for him as well.

Luna, and her journey of self-discovery and finding her place in the world. Despite initial difficulties, she realizes that she needs to adapt to her new situation for her own growth and development. Her mother wants Luna to pursue higher education and convinces her to study in Manila. She agrees, understanding that education is a powerful tool for personal progress.

Within the depths of my heart, I discover a peculiar contradiction—a longing for simplicity entangled in the complexities of love.

Words wield an intriguing power in this realm, embracing both poverty and richness. Love becomes the enigmatic pursuit we strive for, seeking to be seen and appreciated amidst the captivating beauty of the world. Yet, I encounter individuals who weave intricate webs of lies, whether out of habit or with deliberate intent. In the face of such encounters, I am confronted with a choice—one that encompasses the essence of great and true love. As I traverse this labyrinthine journey, I embark on a quest to unravel the enigma of love. It is a search that takes me to the depths of my soul, forcing introspection and contemplation,” – Luna.

It was all so very fast. One second he was talking, the next his head was lying on the floor beside him, detached from his body. She had ticked yet another box in his head. He heard her before he saw her, and he could genuinely say he wasn’t disappointed. She was strikingly beautiful, stunning, in fact. On closer view, he could see that she had a nice body to complement her beauty. For some reason, his wolf was jumping around at the sight of her. Considering his wolf was not a fan of anyone, it was a bit surprising. She stopped directly in front of him with her head bowed in respect to his title. He nodded in acceptance and gestured for her to raise her head. Their eyes met, and he could swear his entire world shook. He jolted forward, almost standing up from his throne as if to hug her. “Mate,” he said to her in his mind. She didn’t even flinch before responding, “You wish, pretty boy.” ................................................................................................................................................

Zelena spent her life as a punching bag—for her father’s fists, for her classmates’ cruelty. Survival was her only purpose… until he walked in. ~ Gunner is everything she shouldn’t dare to want: towering, devastatingly handsome, with piercing blue eyes that strip away her defenses. He shouldn’t have noticed her—a shadow in a world that had long since discarded her. Yet he sees her. Truly sees her. ~ But why? Why would a man like him risk everything to shield her from the darkness? As their connection deepens, Zelena uncovers a terrifying truth—one that forces her to question not just Gunner’s motives, but the very essence of what she is… ~ ************WARNING************ This title includes scenes of abuse, extreme violence, mutilation, bullying, torture, death and sexual activities. ********************************** Excerpt ********************************** “Mine” I growled lowly as I inserted my finger. I want to make this last. She was warm and moist, her skin soft and inviting. She put her arm over my back, digging her nails into my skin, she pulled me down so that my body was on top of her. “More” she whispered biting onto my earlobe. She tugged at my boxers pulling them down over my ass, I slid them down my legs to my ankles and kicked them off. My throbbing erection was pressed against her dripping s*x. I kissed her mouth rough and fast, taking her tongue in my mouth and giving her mine. “Are you ready?” I whispered...

To protect my boyfriend, Nico, the illegitimate son of our allies, the Moretti family, from their internal power struggles, I agreed to leave New York with him. But on the eve of my adoptive father, the Don of the Falcone family, signing our transfer orders, he backed out. Through the hidden door of the cigar lounge, I heard his right-hand man tease him: "So you really kept up that act for three months just to get rid of the princess?" "But she's your childhood sweetheart. You really have the heart to some miserable fishing village in the Baltics all by herself?" Nico's voice was nonchalant. "It's just an outpost across the pond. How far can it be?" "Scarlett is too controlling. If I don't get her out of the picture, how am I supposed to get any breathing room? Besides, I need to put Chloe at ease." I stood behind that hidden door for a long time that night, my grip on the doorknob tightening until my knuckles were white, before I finally let go. I turned and walked away, pulling out my tablet to change my flight plan. I changed the destination from the official plan of that desolate Baltic outpost to a seat at the High Table in Sicily, which is the absolute center of old-world Mafia power. Everyone seemed to have forgotten. I am the princess of the Falcone family. And he is nothing but filth from the gutter. We were never a match.

“Yes, you have to. The mate bond deserves that respect in the least. If you want to reject me, do it looking me in my eyes.” I had no idea how he moved so fast — probably courtesy of his Alpha abilities — but he stood before me. His fingers lifted my chin so my eyes could meet his gaze. “Reject me by looking me in the eye.” His eyes searched my face. I shook my head as I struggled to hold back tears. He pinned me on both sides, my eyes widened in slight fear when I saw the frustration and anger. “Reject this!” He growled before slamming his lips into mine.

Le jour où j'allais accoucher, une meute de loups renégats m'a encerclée. Ils m'ont éventrée et ont réduit mon enfant en lambeaux. Mon compagnon Alpha, Marcus, est devenu fou. Il m'a conduite d'urgence au centre de soins et a ordonné aux guérisseurs de sauver ma vie. « Si quelque chose arrive à ma compagne, vous le paierez de vos vies », a-t-il crié. Alors qu'on me transportait vers la table d'opération, j'ai entendu sa conversation avec son Bêta. « Alpha, ces loups déguisés en renégats ont déjà été relâchés en secret de la Prison d'Argent. » « Tant qu'on obtient sa lettre de pardon, le Conseil des Alphas ne poursuivra pas l'affaire. » « C'est juste que… à la fois Luna et Mlle Céleste portent vos enfants. N'est-ce pas un peu cruel envers Scarlett… » Le ton de Marcus s'est glacé tandis qu'il a lancé un regard d'avertissement à son Bêta. « Scarlett ne peut pas donner naissance à cet enfant ! Mon héritier ne peut naître que de Céleste. Je lui ai promis que son enfant serait l'héritier Alpha. » Son Bêta n'a pas osé contredire, il a seulement contenu son mécontentement. « Mais… il y avait d'autres moyens. On n'était pas obligés de laisser Mlle Céleste engager des renégats pour littéralement déchiqueter l'enfant de Luna… » « La louve de Luna est restée endormie depuis le début de sa grossesse, ce qui l'a privée de ses capacités de guérison. Les guérisseurs disent qu'elle pourrait ne pas survivre. » Marcus est devenu froid, mêlé d'impuissance. « Je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'ils soient aussi brutaux. » « Monte la garde. Assure-toi que les guérisseurs la sauvent. S'il lui arrive quoi que ce soit, ils savent ce qu'ils risquent. C'est tout ce que je peux faire désormais. Plus tard, je lui offrirai toutes les ressources de la meute en guise de compensation. » Les portes du centre de soins se sont refermées lentement, coupant à jamais mon amour pour Marcus. Quand je me suis réveillée, il ne restait que la douleur lancinante dans mon bas-ventre, et un amas de chair et de sang…
