Author's point of view...Scarlet stood behind the kitchen door till the girls inside the kitchen finished their lunch and their discussion. Despite being hungry for the state of fainting, she didn't dare step in. After all, the words that she just heard about herself were enough for her to shiver. "I will rip that bitch apart!" A female in the kitchen muttered, with such bravado that Scarlet lost all of her witt.Just when she was doing her hardest to remain silent and stand there unmoving, someone tapped her shoulder. Scarlet was dumbfounded and was on the verge of screaming in terror but a hand gradually covered her mouth from screaming out loud."Scarlett, it's me" Evelyn hushed in a whisper. Scarlett finally took a breath of relief and Evelyn grabbed her arm and took her away from the kitchen room.Settling in one of the extreme corners, the girls finally took a deep breath."Where did you go?" Evelyn asked still panting heavily, "What actually happened? Was that true that the
Author's point of view...Evelyn froze. She had been attempting desperately to look her in the eye so Lily would not see her fright, but she was unable at last."Who...senior?" Evelyn stuttered, "Whom are you..." her words were cut off as the other girls circled her."That damn friend of yours..." "Which friend...senior, whom are you talking about?" Evelyn tried hard to dodge it but Lily and her followers were quite sure that Evelyn knew everything. "That little bitch...! Scarlett" one of the slave girls spoke out."I ... I don't know, I haven't seen her lately" Evelyn retorted immediately in a stuttering tone. Lily scowled and remarked sarcastically,"You don't know...!" She drew closer to Evelyn with a wicked smile tugging at her face, she grabbed a handful of Evelyn's hair and raised her head, pulling them. Evelyn hissed in pain."You better not know, because if I get to know that you are lying to me, I won't mind peeling that fair skin of yours" Evelyn stepped back hanging her
Author's point of view...After a restless night, Adrian was roaming inside his huge penthouse. In fact, he was having a cold battle with his own wolf.From the minute that little girl departed, his body, his thoughts, and his wolf had been in disarray. Whenever he tried to sleep, the flashes of that innocent face disturbed him.Rock growled every time he found Scarlet panicking and whimpered experiencing the pain when she got hurt.It was horrible...!"Pain..." he groaned inside Adrian's mind and Adrian was clearly irritated by the feeling of getting controlled.The curse...! Is this just the blood-mind link or the mate curse....!He could never be one of the targets of the curse that all the male members of his whole royal family were under.Never...!Or at least he thought he wouldn't be but destiny had decided something else for him.Even if he thought that it was because of the mate curse, that seemed to be ridiculous.How can he even imagine a small wolf-less kid to be his mate?
Author's point of view...While Dan and Vincent were waiting in the living room, Dan saw that Vincent had been smiling on his own there. It was not the same him as usual."What happened to you, young master?" Dan inquired carefully; on one side, he was concerned about Adrian, but on the other, Vincent's strange behaviour was irritating Dan even more. Vincent was Adrian's cousin and the team's smallest member. He was a superb warrior for his age, but he was also infamous for getting frustrated for no apparent reason. His rage was like a burning inferno that might consume anyone at any time, knowing no bounds of rationality. They all felt that his mood fluctuations may be related to the adolescent years he was going through, therefore his anger was not anything that needed their concern.But today Daniel was puzzled, though Vincent appeared happy and was smiling for no apparent reason, something was unlike his character. Vincent scratched the back of his head, bit his lower lip, and
Author's point of view...Daniel's reaction startled Vincent, but he quickly recovered and resumed his activities. Something must be amiss at the slavery house if Dan had given the order.Without another moment's hesitation, he ran for the pack house's last corridor where the slavery house lay. The entire passage was silent as it was the resting time for the slaves after their hard work. But at the corner, there was a commotion in one of the rooms.Scarlett, on the other hand, had been tied down and thrashed by the other slave females. Her ears started buzzing and she was on the brink of losing herself. All she could hear was the loud cry, faintly repeating."Again..." "Hit her again..." When she heard Lily commanding her fellows to continue, Scarlett had nothing to do instead of accepting the death that was awaiting her. It had been a while and those people were not yet satisfied even after beating her so hard. Scarlett gripped her fist into a ball and her fingers dug into her f
Author's point of view...Resting Dan at one of the corners, Adrian shoved his hand inside his pocket to bring out his phone and scrolled on the screen. He couldn't wait but call Elena for help. But suddenly a hand snuck out and stopped him."No...don't call her," Dan stopped Adrian, "Don't tell her, I will be fine once I heal myself" It's not that Daniel doesn't want his wife to panic, but he doesn't want anyone to know who did this to him.If the word goes out that it was their respected Alpha who lost control over himself and attacked the Beta brutally, there will be chaos in the entire kingdom. They will lose all their hopes. The entire pack, the entire kingdom will be immersed in an abyss.He never wanted it."You need care, Dan..." Adrian snarled, unable to look his friend in the eye due to the guilt which was killing him.Dan had multiple injuries everywhere. Blood was gushing out of his stomach and with each passing second, his condition was getting worse. Adrian cursed himse
Scarlett's point of view...I woke up with a pounding headache, burdened by the lingering remnants of a disturbing dream I had last night. The same thing again...!Whenever I close my eyes, images of that cruel Alpha Xian and that tragedy and that miserable bloody look on Catherine's face haunt me, a grim reminder of losing the only one I cherished the most. I found my cheeks wet. I realized that even though I was wretched and on the verge of death, that notion had been with me ever since I had emerged from that terrible hole.Gazing about, I saw that I was lying on a wooden bed in what appeared to be an ancient home. Is this a new location or a prison?Since I was out of the grip of Alpha Xian, my life has turned into an exciting and intriguing journey; every time I passed out, I discovered that I was opening my eyes to a new universe.But still, I was content to find myself alive.I am alive...! Still breathing...!My heart was heavy with gloom as I thought back on all that had t
Scarlett's point of view...I had many things running in my little brain about why Grandpa called me to his room.In other words, I was damn sure that he was going to talk about the marriage proposal he received this morning. Before coming here, I heard some of the servants gossip, that the one who sent the wedding gifts was the eldest son of the prime minister of this kingdom, the Youvoka Clan. According to them, the prime minister of this kingdom is so strong that we can not afford to offend. His son already has three wives and he was planning to take me as his fourth wife.What the heck...!I was terrified when I heard it. Will Grandpa agree to the proposal?I can't get married to him. I can't just ruin my life with an old man with many wives.No way...!I decided in my mind that if Grandpa asked me to accept this proposal, I would run away from there. As soon as possible and as far as possible. A deep rumble took me by surprise as I stood there trying to make sense of the situ
