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
Scarlett's point of view...The door of that hell opened, and there in front of me stood a massive, monstrous-looking man who was fully nude. I staggered backward as he moved forward. Even in the dark, his dark torso gave off a shimmer. I could feel my hands and legs trembling. "You, was that?" he asked in a raspy voice. It is gloomy. I cannot see his face except for his huge seven-foot frame standing before me, his hands dripping my sister's blood. I heard the clinking of his steps. I attempted to move away from him by stepping backward when he attempted to reach me, even though I felt like molten wax all over. My mouth dropped into a raspy yelp. "No…!!""It's you...!" he groaned confirming again while lunging towards me in just a step, catching my neck in an instant. I am dead...! I don't have a chance right now. He will kill me. "It's you...!" he groaned again while lunging towards me in just a step, catching my neck in an instant. His claws dug deeper into the papery fles
Scarlett's point of view... Alpha's men were not on alert. They had just received the order from their Alpha but were shocked to see me lunging down. I wasn't used to being a wolf yet, and the fact that I just rolled down made my knuckles twitchy. I looked at them and then at the opened door in front of me and before they could process the command, I ran out of the pack house. After running so long, I remembered the thing about the locket in my hoof. I recalled what Catherine told me, that I must not shift, I had to hide my scent not only because Alpha Xian could find me but also because my scent is unique and can only bring me troubles. Catherine told me that I had to hide it and I will. I took that locket and wrapped it around my neck in a hurry. The moment I shifted back, I found myself naked and getting weak again but my steps didn't halt. That messy gown that I had been wearing was still on my neck and I wore it back while still pacing on my steps. I groaned at every step
Scarlett's point of view... I froze as he pulled me up as if I was just a piece of fabric and then he leaned closer, sniffing. His minty breath touched the tender skin of my cheek and I could feel my heart rate increase even in my miserable state. The thought of what he was going to do gave me a tingling feeling in my chest. He leaned close to my neck, though, and sniffed once more. I couldn't hold my eyes from shutting down after that. I could not stop feeling everything he was doing to me, even with my heavy eyelids closed. I was unable to even juggle my finger, which was another issue. He forced me to lie flat on the ground, kneeled next to me, carefully grasped my shoulders, and used his fingers to examine the wound on my neck. There was a pause for a few seconds before he started licking the wound on my head and neck. That really felt awkward. So awkward. I wanted to resist, but seriously, I couldn't. I have no idea why I can't push him away. Maybe because I was too wea
Scarlett's point of view... I heard those footsteps getting closer, and terror took hold of me again. I had to drag myself into the tree hole. Not less than a mile away, I sensed the presence of three shadowy figures. They had been smelling, and they might use my blood as a point of exchange. I am not sure how long I could manage to hide from them given the numerous bleeding wounds all over my body. My neck aches even though the pain in my head has lessened. When I extended my hand to check on the bleeding wound, I was shocked to find that my skin had already covered the bite wound. How exactly...? Could it be that my magic had become active or something else? Could it be that before leaving, that rogue licked my wound? Did his saliva heal me?Wait...! Is he an Alpha? I heard the footsteps moving away from me as I focused.I finally released the breath I had been holding for so long. I reached out for the leather jacket that my mysterious savior left behind and wrapped it aroun
Scarlett's point of view... I looked behind him to check if he had any companions but found no one. He didn't have a pack or followers. Just who he is? Those lurking beasts were gone too, I couldn't see their corpse either. Did they go away? Or did he kill them too? They might have sensed my presence here. Why didn't they catch me? Am I saved? I nearly celebrated at that thought but when that blood-stained face lessened the space between us, the threat regained its existence in my heart, I shrugged. After staring at me for quite a while, he finally raised a question. Maybe my appearance made him ask for it. "Were you a slave to them?" he questioned in an icy tone while tilting his head and shoving his flocks behind. There wasn't any kind of gentleness or emotions in his voice but there wasn't any hostility in it either. His expressionless face was already enough to bring the terror back to my heart and to add topping to it, the blood on his face had dried deep maron.I nodded
