Author's point of view... "It was all your plan...!" she felt deceived, "Release him...! Release my brother! He didn't do anything bad...Why did you capture him?" Adrian turned, his expression shifting from satisfaction to surprise. "Your brother....!" he said, his voice calm but firm, "I thought he was an intruder, who tried to harm my men. So, was he your brother? Then you are involved in this too?" he remarked sarcastically. Scarlett felt heartbroken at his sudden change. Wasn't he just now confessing his love for her? Was that all fake? Of course, that was all fake. She scoffed in her mind. Why would a man like Adrian, like her, a lost descendant of a vanished bloodline? He just needed her for her unique blood. So that he could use her. It was all his plan...! "Aah...! I should have told my men to torture him to ask who else was involved in his intrusion. If you are one of them, I should capture you too..." Adrian's sudden change of attitude was like a stab in Sca
Author's point of view... Scarlett was bent down to her knees. Feeling helpless, she squeezed her eyes shut. Adrian knelt beside her and looked at her. His heart sank. This wasn't what he wanted.She wanted her to be his, only his but not like this. "I'm sorry, Scarlett," Adrian mumbled under his breath, his heart ached, "I know you hate me but at least you will be safe". The more she was in pain, the more he struggled internally. She had no idea what he was going through when he saw her like that. Scarlett hung her head and cried. Catherine was captured. Rona was beaten so harshly, even she was in his grip right now. Her life was shattered. Adrian sighed and knelt before her, his eyes earnest. He wanted to touch her but hesitated. "I never wanted it to come to this, Scarlett. But you left me no choice. We have to end this conflict..." Before he could say any further, she lifted her gaze and glared at him, her eyes filled with mere hatred and disgust. Those beautiful
Author's point of view... Adrian was standing in one of the tents, deep in thought, his hands crossed behind him. Kevin entered the tent to report something. "My lord...!" he called Adrian but there was no response from him. "Alpha...!" Kevin called again and it was then that Adrian finally jolted back to reality. He turned around bewildered. "What is it?" Adrian asked immediately, Kevin took a few seconds to recover. It was his first time to see his Lord so out of place, so disturbed. "Are you thinking about that monster again, My lord?" Kevin asked concerned and Adrian sighed. Ever since Alpha Xian met Adrian again, Adrian's thoughts had been troubled. "Yes..." he walked over and sat in a chair. Kevin stood silently. "He doesn't have a body, it's just a soul. Are you sure he can do anything to us?" Kevin asked. Adrian leaned back as he replied, "That man had been practising black magic and had exceeded in it. I am afraid no one among us is a match for him." Kevin g
Author's point of view... Once the maids were done with all the formalities, Scarlett stood before the mirror, smoothing the satin of her green dress and adjusting a stray curl. She was a vision of elegance, her beauty magnified by the soft candlelight that flickered around the room. She took a deep breath, steadying herself for the evening ahead. Tonight, she had a mission, one that required her to be every bit the alluring and devoted partner Adrian believed her to be. Soon the maid standing guard outside informed that Prince Adrian had arrived. Scarlett let out a sigh and looked in his direction. When Adrian entered the tent, he was taken aback. His heart racing with anticipation. The moment he saw Scarlett, his breath caught in his throat. She looked more stunning than ever as if an angel just descended to the earth. Scarlett clenched her fist on her dress and forced a smile. Though a hesitant one, her radiant smile made his pulse quicken. He had longed for this ni
Author's point of view... "I found you..." a loud and disturbing voice roared. Scarlett froze, her eyes widening in terror. Before she stood a towering figure made entirely of swirling black smoke. Kevin, sensing the danger, unsheathed his sword with a swift motion and charged at the figure. His blade cut through the air, but each strike met only smoke, dispersing and reforming around the blade. The figure, Xian, seemed unfazed by Kevin's efforts, its laugh a sinister echo that sent chills down Scarlett's spine. "You cannot fight what you cannot touch," Xian's voice boomed, dripping with dark amusement. With a mere wave of his hand, Xian sent Kevin flying across the clearing with a forceful blow. Kevin crashed into a nearby tent, brutally, but jolted back to his legs and ran to attack Xian. Xian laughed. "Adrian had a nice dog...!" The form was humanoid, yet there was something unnaturally fluid and menacing about it. Scarlett instinctively moved closer to Kevin her s
Author's point of view... The divine stone began to dissolve the black smoke surrounding him and Xian's hazy image began to interpret. Even though, he had no intention of holding back from his vicious plans, even if he was going to disappear completely from this world. He desired to possess Scarlett and all her powers but if that proved impossible, he would prefer to destroy her. He let out a deep, painful sigh and stretched his smokey tendrils, determined to choke the hell out of her. Just as Xian's smoky tendrils reached out for Scarlett, a blinding white light struck him with the force of a thunderbolt, causing him to recoil with a furious howl of fury. Scarlett shielded her eyes from the intensity, her heart pounding in her chest. When she dared to look again, she saw Adrian stepping out of the darkness, his expression determined and fierce. "Adrian!" Scarlett exclaimed, relief washing over her. Adrian didn't waste a moment. He hurried to Scarlett's side, his hands m
Author's point of view... As the surviving soldiers and guards began to gather, Adrian stumbled back towards the tent, his eyes almost closing. "My lord, please let me take you to a healer..." Kevin pleaded but Adrian didn't listen to him. "My lord, are you going to see Luna?" Kevin asked in a hurry, Adrian paused as he turned to look at him. "Don't call her that, she doesn't want to be with me" Adrian snarled, painfully, "She doesn't want to be my Luna." Kevin hung his head and wondered unhappily. Just what did she do to make him say that? After arriving at the tent, Adrian threw open the entrance. Scarlett was seated in a corner with her hands closing her ears. She was scared. When she saw Xian earlier, all those flashes of his deeds, those tortures flooded into her mind. She shivered as the door flung open but looking at the one entered, she took a breath of relief. That relief didnt last long though. She saw the one standing there was Adrian, but she was tak
Scarlett's point of view... He moaned in a tone so fierce it could make anyone shudder in terror, "Do you know what you did wrong, slave...!!" I heard the sound of a whip hitting the ground. It was his common action that he does before starting everything. "I... I hid...myself..." Catherine stuttered her response, and my fist clenched against my messy gown.It was not her...! I muttered under my breath. "Ugh...!" She was whimpering and screaming and shivering from the agony when he began his maddening torment. My heart was racing and my eyes were overflowing with tears.These cries were not unusual in this pack, so it was not the first time I had heard them. Because this disgusting pack's Alpha does not believe in that pure bonding, we do not have a luna. He views women as nothing more than instruments of gratification, deserving neither respect nor love. to use them as their breeders when necessary, and to play and torture them. This pack does not contain any Luna concepts. Th
