Scarlett's povI jerked up from the bed, almost toppling the laptop. "I knew it! It was him the whole time!" I exclaimed. "Let's get him," Gavin said. I literally swooped towards the door with Gavin following me with his laptop. "What about Kylan? Do we trust him?" I asked as we walked briskly down the corridor. "There's only one way to find out. I'm mind linking both Kylan and Thomas to meet us along with their parents in the office," Gavin said. "And it wouldn't be safe if they are all in it together," I wondered out loud. "But we do have to confront them, don't we?" Gavin said. "Yeah," I mumbled. "We got this, Scarlett. The guards will also be there. Not everyone will betray us," Iris voiced her opinion. I knew that he was right. I'd have to rely on the loyal warriors who wouldn't betray me. At least I hoped they wouldn't. When we reached the alpha's office, the beta and gamma families were waiting for us. "What's so urgent, alpha? From the way you mind linked us, it so
"Really?" I raised a brow. "I didn't know that you were so bitter, Bert. Do you even realise how immature that was? You wanted your son to lead the pack at any cost and when that didn't happen, you chose violence. That's so childish. Just because my dad wouldn't order me to mate with your son. Did you even once ask Kyle what he wanted? I'm sure he would love to find the one meant for him instead of mating with someone way older."I believe Bert was at a loss for words. Hardly able to contain his disgust, he turned away and grimaced."Unbelievable!" I breathed out. "Normally parents would be exhilarated about their pups finding their soulmates. But I guess you're an exception." He sneered at me. "I was hoping that you would become his mate but that didn't happen."I rolled my eyes. It was a waste of time talking about that so I changed the topic."So you let Michael escape from the dungeons, didn't you? Didn't you care about what might happen to the innocent pups?" The tense muscles
Scarlett's pov Bert's death made us all feel various emotions. We were all moved by his suicide. While some of us thought that he was feeling remorseful about what he had done, others thought that he just wanted the easy way out after realising that his mate and son didn't support his decision. Anyway, we buried him and got on with our lives. As we planned, we prepared to hold the alpha and Luna ceremony on the night of the full moon and invited the alphas and their mates from all the packs of the South. That was excluding the Sapphire Moon pack. Everything was going smoothly. Nonetheless, I didn't get wary of our enemies who were living just next to us. Careful that they might attack us at any time, Gavin and I strengthened the security at the borders, especially on our big night. Two weeks flew by and before we knew it, it was the night for us to be officiated as the next alpha and Luna of Crimson Crescent. My gown was a sleeveless white and baby blue mermaid dress that hugged m
Scarlett's Pov His already tensed muscles tightened even more. I knew that he was trying not to pounce on me like an animal but it was fun to tease him like that. "Do you know that it's dangerous to play with fire, mate?" he growled. There was something hot in the way he spoke. I felt my panties soaking when I rubbed my thighs together. My mouth watered and all I wanted was to taste him. "I like it hot, mate," I whispered and proceeded to put my forefinger into my mouth and slowly remove it while making sure that he was watching each of my movements. Pouting my lips a little, I ran my hands down my body, brushing them over my bare breasts. I loved the way he twitched. It was almost like he was struggling to behave, but was desperately losing control of his desires. I pinched my nipples, just to tease him. "Do you want them, honey? I bet they taste good," I whispered, deliberately giving my full breasts a little shake to lure him in. It worked!"Fuck!" He hissed and lunged at me
Michael's pov Squinting into the distance, I blew out a puff of smoke as I leaned against the balcony. I glanced at the few commoners who were walking on the roads. Cars occasionally whizzed past the packhouse. It was just another normal day for the Sapphire Moon pack.I reminisced about the night we attacked them. That night they dragged me to their dungeon and locked me up. I was able to escape, thanks to my agents. Although I was able to flee without being detected by their loyal guards, I hid in the woods for a couple of days without approaching my pack because I wanted to make sure that none of Peter's warriors were following me. It gave my wolf and me time to reflect on what we had seen. My wolf was equally shocked to see her wolf. He was rather possessive over her. Well, we felt the bond between us once upon a time after all. After returning to our pack, our priority was to heal and check on our warriors. Several fighters who managed to escape the battlefield were being treat
Michael's pov "Yeah. You better prepare for war. Scarlett is hell bent on avenging her parents' death. She kind of blames it on you." "You're lying," I hissed. "Why would I lie to you? Besides, you have already paid me for this, so I believe that you have earned the truth. Now choosing to believe it or not is going to be your choice. I don't care. I have got what I want," her response was firm. "Oh, and by the way, I managed to click a picture of the soldiers gathering at the packhouse. I don't know what war preparation looks like if this isn't it." "Send it," I demanded. The call ended and within minutes, I received a photo message from her. It was a picture of the warrior's quarters. So agent 2 was more than just any omega. She had access to the warrior's quarters. I guess she wasn't a waste of money after all. The soldiers appeared to be in a rush. A door was opened from which they were taking various kinds of weapons. Their countenances displayed unwavering determinat
Scarlett's pov Someone had ratted our plans out to Michael. Even with Georgette in lockup and Bert dead, Michael found out about our plans to attack and stationed his army outside his perimeter to meet us, which meant that he had more people working for him in our pack. I hated the fact that we didn't have a clue about who it could be, but it wasn't the time to ponder over that. We had arrived to fight, and this time I was determined to end this for good. "So the Crimson Crescent has a new leader," he smirked, as though he was jeering at us. "It was a pity that Peter was killed by his own beta." I glared at him. Of course, he would try to taunt us. Bert had worked for him after all. He must have found great pleasure in watching us trust our greatest betrayer the entire time. I sneered. I knew that he was just trying to get on our nerves. “There are more traitors in our pack. Apparently, someone has informed you about our arrival.” His unwavering grin was irritating me, noneth
Gavin's pov I was determined to end his pathetic life. I was almost successful when hell broke loose. I was sure that the warriors would do their best to suppress the enemies. I didn't doubt my mate's abilities to protect herself, yet, my heart's desire was to protect her myself. She was my mate, after all. However, looking for her was impossible with Michael following me like a maniac. Heck, I also wanted to end this once and for all so I fought with all my might. Soldiers from both packs rushed to assist us. The challenge was ruined and had turned into a full blown war. I realised that Michael had his claws elongated when he attempted to slash them through my torso. Thankfully, Akela was able to assist me in dodging that blow just in time. I also extended my claws and channelled Akela's strength. Soon enough, we were both doused in our blood. Our power to heal instantly was a massive advantage to us. Healing the minor injuries wasn't a problem. Besides, I wasn't going to give u
