Scott hasn’t really thought about it. He hadn’t even considered the matter before. All he knew was that every time he saw Ciara, he wanted her. And he knew if he continued his relationship with Hayley, it would close the possibility of being with Ciara.So when Ciara asked Scott to stop caring about her, he had to decide. And he chose Ciara.He chose her over his position as the Alpha of Silvercrest.Scott was just as surprised as Ciara when he said from his own mouth that he would break off the engagement. But he had said it and he had no intention of taking it back.Now his steps led him to Alpha’s house. Hugh was in the study with Gordon. It seemed they were discussing what steps the elders should take to improve the security of the territory. Hugh and Gordon greeted Scott and told him to sit down, but Scott refused.“You seem to be in a hurry,” said Gordon. He glanced at the clock on the wall and asked, “Isn’t training starting in half an hour?”“Yes. But I really do not intend to
Ciara screamed as Hayley pulled her hair and nearly knocked her to the ground. But Ciara defended herself. She gripped Hayley’s hands and tried to get them out of her hair.“You bitch! You ruined my life!” Hayley screamed with all her might. “Hugh shouldn’t have let you fucking in Silvercrest! You should have fucking died at the hands of the rogues, so you wouldn’t ruin my life!”Someone hugged Ciara from behind and pulled her while someone else grabbed Hayley. The team members tried to separate them both. When Hayley’s hand slipped from Ciara’s hair, she raised her head and looked at Hayley. The hatred Hayley showed her gave Ciara chills.“Let me go!” Hayley screamed. “Get your hands off me! I’ll break her hands so she won’t dare to lay her fucking fingers on other people’s boyfriends anymore!”“Are you okay?”Ciara looked back and found Burke. He was the one who saved her from Hayley. Godrick was on the other side, holding back Hayley from lunging at Ciara again.Maila came and appr
A week passed after the attack by the rogues on the border. And nothing happened. Even after Scott gave her the smile in front of everyone and Ciara hoped something would happen between them, Scott did nothing to her.Instead, he acted like he didn’t want to be in the same room with her.Scott greeted Ciara every morning when they accidentally passed each other while leaving the room, or while in the kitchen. But after that, he would leave her and head first to the main base.Scott did look a lot happier than before he broke off his engagement to Hayley, but that was all that had changed in him. Other than that, there’s nothing else.What do you expect, Ciara? Ciara scolded herself, when one morning Scott finished eating breakfast at a speed that would make the Moon Goddess amazed, then left her with the excuse that he had to do morning training with the key team.Scott breaking off engagement with Hayley doesn’t mean he likes you. He could have done that purely because of his awarene
Everyone froze in place. Even Ciara forgot to catch her breath when her eyes met Godrick’s.His brown eyes looked at her with seriousness. This was the first time she saw his serious expression that made her heart flutter.“How?” he asked.“Ca—can I think about it first?”“No,” he refused. “You have to answer it now.”“Godrick,” Maila interrupted. “We don’t have time for this.”“Then you guys can go first. Ciara and I will catch up.”Ciara frowned amid her shock. “Why did you suddenly invite me?” she braved herself to ask.Godrick stood up, still clutching her hand, then smiled with a tilt of his head. He sure is handsome, Ciara thought. The kind of warm beauty that feels close and immersive. But that’s all. For Ciara, nobody could beat Scott.“I wanted to take you, that’s all,” Godrick said. “It was a really fun event. I bet you will like it.”Someone spouted a mocking laugh. Maila. “You hate it, don’t you? Don’t act like you’ve been there before.”“I’ve been there before.” He gave h
Ever since Scott unilaterally broke off his engagement with Hayley, he had realized some things.First, that his actions were reckless. No, he didn’t regret what he had done. It’s just that he didn’t think about the impact his actions would have on Ciara.Scott thought things were going to work out between him and Ciara. But the night after he broke off the engagement, he heard from his friends that Hayley attacked Ciara in public and accused Ciara of causing Scott and Hayley’s failed engagement.It is undeniable that Ciara was indeed one of the causes, and it was also what brought Scott to a second consciousness. Since he met Ciara, he experienced something that he thought was dead. His interest in women.The thing between his thighs always tensed up every time he saw Ciara, especially when she was wearing his clothes, or when she wasn’t wearing anything. Even her wolf sent his wolf into a frenzy, and he was dying to fuck her.After hearing about the attack, he discouraged himself fr
It was Scott who had been avoiding Ciara for the past few days. He had treated her like a complete stranger, and now suddenly he had come and asked her to go to the Silver Blood Moon event, as if they had spent time together so intimately for the past twenty-four hours.His hot and cold attitude irritated her.Her irritation and confusion were just so big, it made her speechless. All she could do was stare at him, and the stone-hard expression carved on his handsome face.“That is the most unromantic date invitation I have ever seen,” Vaire mumbled.Scott glared at her, and Vaire raised both hands. “Hey, I’m just saying.”“You and Godrick are the same,” Scott said, half exasperated.Now it was Vaire’s turn to stare at Scott and half shouted, “No, we’re not!”Vaire’s reaction was exaggerated and Ciara couldn’t help but remember the interactions between Vaire and Godrick and felt that the two of them had an unusual relationship.Everyone fell silent after that. They were waiting for Cia
Senseless bickering. That’s what kept on Ciara’s head for several days. She didn’t know who was to blame and who had the right to be angry. One thing was clear none of them were willing to start the conversation or apologize.After that day, Ciara no longer saw Scott at home. He always went to the main base early in the morning when she wasn’t awake, and came home when she was asleep.But even in his anger, he always left a portion of breakfast for her and put it on the dining table. And even though she was mad at him, she still ate his food and smiled bitterly while looking at the kitchen and imagining him cooking.She missed talking to him in the kitchen.A week has passed. And today was the day of the Silver Blood Moon event.This morning, after eating the breakfast Scott had prepared, Ciara stepped glumly to the main base. The main team was in the office. She could hear them as she walked by. She resisted the temptation to come in and greet them just so she could see Scott’s face.
Hours have passed without Ciara realizing it. She was delighted by all these preparations and the hospitality shown by Vaire and her mother, Janine. They tirelessly chose several dresses for her, styled her hair, and tried on different shades of eyeshadow and blush that matched her skin and eyes.Her first experience with dressing up made her both excited and sore. She wasn’t used to staring for hours in the mirror and letting someone smear something on her face. But all that was worth it for her to do after seeing the results she got.After trying on several dresses and hearing from Vaire, Ciara opted for a two-tone gold sequin mini dress with low cleavage and puffed long sleeves. Janine made one big braid on the side of her hair and put it together into a messy low bun right at the nape.She spun in front of the mirror after her preparations were complete and Vaire and Janine held their breaths with amazed expressions.“Ciara, you look so beautiful!” cried Vaire, covering her mouth
