Scarlett Drake นิยาย & เรื่องราว

, Marcy asked. Nora rolled her eyes like Marcy asked something silly. "Hellooooo! Drake is the Alpha of the largest pack in North America. He never lost a challenge, and he is young, handsome, and single. Do you expect him to be a monk? Women throw themselves at him. If he says a word, an endless line of beauties will form and wait for him to claim them." Marcy groaned. "I was not talking about hookups. Didn't you hear about numerous women offering themselves as brides and Drake rejecting them?"

She introduced Veronica, exchanged a few greetings, and then led the way deeper into the facility. Meanwhile Drake leaned toward Sebastian, walking side-by-side as Sebastian pushed Scarlet’s wheelchair. “She still doesn’t know Franklin was the one who saved her that day, does she?” Drake asked. Sebastian cut him a look that could slice marble. “Do you have a death wish? You say one word of that, and he’ll bury you alive.” Drake just grinned and straightened his already-perfect suit again. “All the better for me. And trust me, I’m planning to woo her. She says she isn’t single. Who exactly is she with?”

I stood there like I was ordered and waited till I was allowed inside. The tension in my body could be felt by anyone around. I looked around to see if I could catch a glimpse of Cade. He assured me that he was going to talk to his mother; it didn't look like he did. He was just like every man—promises and no action to show it. The door opened, and I made to go in. I stopped in my tracks. The lady, before stepping out, looked at me and then scoffed. “Hello ma'am, I couldn't greet you earlier. I'm Scarlett, Cade's fiancee and soon-to-be wife.” I said it innocently, hoping to get better treatment from her. I regretted saying anything immediately.

Drake said in an enthusiastic tone, having his eyes land on Sabrina. “Wow, that's good news. Chocolate during this season sure do sell high. By the way, this is my friend Sabrina.” He said, finally considering her presence. “Wait,” Said Drake with a pause. “You're not Sabrina Clarke, are you?” He added, focussing all of his attention on the blonde. “That's me.” Said Sabrina proudly as he stood there surprised. “Oh uhm, I'm Drake.” He said, lending out his hand for her to shake.

To say that she was tense would be an understatement- she was about to pull off the biggest scam of the century and as she saw her partner in crime approach her, she took the opportunity to study him. His name was Ethan Drakos and he was the most influential man here by leagues. A giant shareholder in most of the companies present, Ethan had the ability to ruin a business with just one phone call. He had been single for a long time now and women flocked to him, showing off curves and batting eyelashes in the attempt to become “Mrs. Drakos.” His gaze however remained firmly locked on her and he continued past the flock of women until he reached Scarlet, pulling her into his firm embrace while

she spat, her anguish twisting into resentment. Before I could respond, she lunged at me, her hands gripping my hair, pulling me into a whirlwind of chaos. Nurses rushed to intervene, attempting to pry her away as the room echoed with the harsh sounds of grief and rage. Through the blur of tears and pain, I felt the weight of her accusations and the sting of her physical blows. In the midst of mourning, I found myself burdened with an accusation that cut deeper than any words. ***

She took my Luna amulet without permission, and one full-moon night, I found her wrapped in Drake’s arms after his drunk wolf lost control. I finally lost my patience and clawed her once, only for Drake to shove me to the ground. “Scarlett lost her mate. She only sees me as a brother,” he roared. “You grew up with a complete pack around you. Scarlett is different from you. She has suffered. You are older than her. Can’t you protect her like a younger sister?” Looking at my palm cut open by the gravel, I felt Drake become a stranger for the first time. Now she had returned to the territory and taken over my bedroom again, appearing here as if she were the mistress of the house.

Crystal was getting dressed. "Psst!" Crystal was startled and turned round. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw it the Duchess. "You've got to stop doing that." Crystal said airily as she styled her long hair to a bun. "I've got to stop doing what?" Rebecca chuckled, "Entering your room unannounced?" "Yes. And scaring me like that." Crystal added. "Well, I should apologize. Don't I?" Rebecca said playfully. "Yes, you should." Crystal answered airily.

one of the kids asked. Drake laughed. "I don't do sex scenes." He sucked at his teeth until he found his place again. "When he unwrapped the scarf from her face it took her eyes a second to adjust to the dim light. Drake grinned down at her, eyes wide and intense. 'Well, turn around and see your future.' Something in his expression caused the hairs on her arms to stand up. She turned. It took a moment for the scene before her to sink in and make sense. Bodies. Blood. So much blood. She heard a thin laugher escape her lips as she tried to fathom his strange and horrifying joke. What was he trying to gain from this?"
