Gavin's povI wouldn't lie, I was taken aback when she crashed her lips on mine, yet, my body seemed to welcome it wholeheartedly. Akela jumped for joy and teased me for being a sucker and freezing on the spot. He liked her and so did I. But we both knew that she didn't belong to us, so we stayed away. Nonetheless, ever since that kiss, Akela's attachment to her magnified… okay maybe I also was feeling a bit more protective over her.During the time we spent together, I tried to make her laugh as much as I could, just so I could hear her melodious voice. When she laughed, her blue eyes would sparkle like two sapphires and I thought that was the most beautiful sight I could see. As we spent more and more time together, I realised that I had failed to prevent my heart from leaning towards her. The air seemed fresher when she was around. Everything seemed better when I was with her. The world was just a better place when she was around.When night fell and we were no longer together, I
Gavin's pov The party was held in the open ground and the place was packed. It was a clear night. The bright supermoon illuminated the sky. Most of the invitees were unmated females and their guards - either a trusted warrior from their pack or their gamma. Everyone except me seemed to have a great time. Neither me nor my wolf were able to calm down until another girl was announced as the alpha's mate. She was a girl from his own pack. Everyone seemed to be ecstatic. No problems arose. Various attendees asked the females to dance with them and Akela kept pushing me to ask her for a dance, but I ended up blocking him. I mean, I was there as her bodyguard. It would be so weird if we started to dance. I wished that I could ask her for one dance, but I chose not to. I didn't want to give the pack members a reason to spread rumours. "May I ask the fair lady for a dance." I knew that voice… I snapped my head towards the speaker. My fury skyrocketed when I saw that it was that loser - M
Scarlett's pov I was so glad that we successfully got rid of Michael this time. I remembered attending the same celebration in my past life. By then I had accepted Michael as my mate but hadn't moved into his pack. I had arrived with him to the ceremony as his date. Back then, I was flattered when he asked me to be his plus one. I was ecstatic when he arrived in his limousine and gave me a bunch of red roses. I was delighted when he displayed possessive protection over me. I was glad that I got to spend time with my mate instead of Gavin who was bugging me to no end. That time I got angry at Gavin for following me in his car, regardless of knowing that he was only doing his job. I reckoned that my father would have appreciated it. After all, all he wanted to do was protect me. Little did I know that I needed protection from the man I trusted the most. That night, I humiliated Gavin so much that he was forced to return home and I regret doing that. I regret a lot of choices I made and
Scarlett's pov The creases on my face deepened as I focused deeply on the words typed in the ageing book. "Rebirth? What does this have to do with rebirth? Come on, that's just a myth," Gavin said, but I didn't heed. For I knew without a doubt that it wasn't just a myth. When I didn't move, he leaned forward. "Read it out loud. I also want to hear it."/I looked at him and cleared my throat. "Rebirth isn't a usual occurrence. It could only happen if a wolf is blessed by the creator of all creations. A wolf can be born again in two ways. His spirit could be born in another body years later or be sent back in time. It is a chance to change the future because the wolf had endured severe injustice. The wolf could be given powers or a special ability to overcome the adversaries and emerge triumphant."I scrunched up my nose in confusion whispering to myself. "But that doesn't make sense. Iris is weak. She doesn't have any powers…" "What? Star, you aren't believing this, are you?" I s
Gavin's pov Akela was going crazy, screaming and fighting against me to take control. Still, I was able to hold him back. He was darn sure that she was our mate. Though I couldn't feel the sparks at first, as time passed by, I thought there was a tingle whenever our skin brushed against each other. It was so faint that there were times that I felt that I was imagining it. Still, Akela had no doubts. Yet, once again, I would have to be patient. She didn't feel the bond. I wasn't the type of a man who would force myself on a woman, even if my wolf was a hundred percent sure that she was mine. It was a bummer but when she explained about the crisis involving her wolf, I kind of understood. Nonetheless, I was astounded when she started to read about the rebirth of a wolf. It was just a myth… wasn't it? Still, I wanted to hear her out when we were interrupted. The conversation got disrupted and a more urgent matter arose. At first, I was sceptical about checking Georgette's room. St
Scarlett's povI waved him goodbye and closed the door behind me. "Yes! Yes yes yes yes!" I screamed as I jumped for joy and punched the air. As I celebrated in my room, I toppled a ceramic vase. It fell and crashed on the floor. "Oops. That's my favourite vase," I whispered. I wasn't upset that I had broken it. The excitement I felt because of that wonderful kiss was too much. I couldn't believe that he actually liked me. We could be together. Heaving a sigh, I looked at the shattered pieces of ceramic lying on the marble floor. That has to be cleaned. I could take care of it later or ask one of the omegas for help. Although we were the leaders, my parents preferred that I cleaned up after myself. The omegas weren't our slaves - they would say.Anyway, I freshened up, changed my clothes, and slumped onto the bed. Still smiling like a fool, I hugged my bolster and stared at the white ceiling. "Iris," I spoke to my silent wolf. "I know you're in there. I have felt your presence mor
Gavin's povFuck! We were under attack! "Quick, hide in the safety bunkers!" "But…" "No, Star! If Iris is weak, you can't risk facing a bunch of untamed wolves. You must hide!" A look of determination crossed her face. "I'll take care of the pups and the old, but please, Gavin. Don't tell anyone about my wolf," she said Nodding my head, "yeah, I won't. And take care of the children and the old, I'm going to push them back into the wild."She heaved a breath. "Gavin… please be safe." My stiff shoulders softened. I cupped her cheeks and kissed her lips tenderly."I promise. I'll be careful," I whispered, caressing her soft skin with my thumb. "Now go! Secure every underground bunker." I urgently uttered and rushed out of the door. I raced straight towards the perimeters where several other warriors were sprinting alongside me. We shifted into our wolves on the way, tearing the clothes we were wearing, and raced at full speed. When we arrived, the warriors had lined up. I skidded
Scarlett's pov At first, I was glad to see that just a few had died. We didn't lose a lot of wolves in the battle. Still, it was a loss for us. Even one life was precious. Nonetheless, my world came crashing down when I spotted her lifeless body lying among our fallen warriors. Though the numbers were less, I had lost one of the most important people in my life. I touched her cheeks. They were cold. Tears continued to blur my vision. I could barely hold back my sniffles and sobs still, I wanted to spend the last moments with her. I couldn't help but think about the incidents of the past. I tried to rack my brain for the motive of this attack. Back then, mom and dad arrived at the luna ceremony. Everything was going smoothly until then. There weren't any rogue attacks. So what was this attack about? Besides, weren't rogues rabid loners who had cut ties with all forms of civilisation?"Mommy… I'm so sorry… I tried to save you all…" I whispered to her. I knew that she wouldn't hear m
