Lucian. Scarlett had deliberately asked me to reject her in the presence of Stasia because she knew I couldn't. She wanted to hurt Stasia. I knew it was normal for her to feel jealous of Stasia. Scarlett was my fated mate after all; the mate bond compels her to, but that was low of her. She, of all people, knows that I feel nothing for her, yet she had to stir shit up. It took a lot of effort to bring Stasia to live with me, and I knew I would have hell to pay. Clay and Maxwell would be livid that I let Stasia come stay with me. My wolf, Tiger, was already giving me a tough time about it. He wanted Scarlett, but I could not accept a tainted whore as my mate. I did not know why the moon goddess chose to tie me to a Vladislav.The daughter of the man that killed the only family I had left. Murdered her and her children in innocent blood. Other than that, I did not have it in me to reject her. Somehow I knew if I bonded with her, I would be at her feet. I would be at her beck and call an
Scarlett. I woke up in Lucian's arms and felt calm and at peace. I was stiff. I did not know if moving was wise. What if he was drunk and had found himself in my room? What if he gets angry? Realising that could be a possibility, I shifted and got up immediately. He opened his eyes and smiled at me. I looked around to see whether I was awake or dreaming. What the hell was Lucian doing in my bed, smiling at me? "Alpha Lucian," I stammered, and he sat up gently. "Scarlett," he said, and I did not know what to do. "What about.." I wanted to ask about Stasia because I remembered her following him into my room after he had inflicted pain on me with his actions. "I told her to leave. It is over." He said, and I did not know what to say because he fought tooth and nail to have her in his life. He said he was going to marry her. Did they fight? "Did she leave because of me?" I asked him, afraid he would take it out on me, and he shook his head. "No, Scarlett. I asked her to leave. I nee
Scarlett,When we were deep in the woods, Lucian put me down and began to take off his clothes. I averted my gaze immediately, and he chuckled. "Come on, don't act like you have never seen a naked man before," He said, and I felt my cheek colour. He looked at me when unbuckling his pants and then froze. I was worried about doing something, so I quickly turned around. He was silent, and I became scared. "Scarlett?" he said gently, and I felt him behind me. He wrapped his arms around me from behind and breathed in my scent. "Mint," he said, and I smiled. "Scarlett, are you shy?" He asked me, whispering in my ears, and I felt my body shudder. My core began to ache, and wetness pooled between my legs. He turned me around gently, and I could not look at him. I looked up, and he had a surprised look in his eyes. "Fuck!" he said and moved away from me. I became nervous. He turned to look at me, and his eyes were filled with tears. "Fuck!" he said again, a bit angry, and I stepped back.
Clay. I could not believe what Lucian had just said. He hated Scarlett. He planned on rejecting her and making her suffer. Of the three of us, he was the least I expected to accept her, but he had beat us to it. He had accepted his bond with her before us. What had happened? "How?" I asked, stunned. I let my bag drop to the floor because I was surprised. "The same reason why neither of you could let her go," he replied as honestly as he could manage. " I figured there was really no point holding a grudge towards her. Tiger wouldn't have it, and I knew I had no choice. I could not keep fighting the pull. The goddess tied us together for a reason. It has to be for good. I did not want to punish us anymore, so I decided I would man up and accept my mate. Besides, you two weren't the only ones fighting your feelings for Scarlett," he explained, and I was speechless. "What about the promise you made to your sister?" Maxwell asked him, and he shamefully looked away. Lucian had said and
Scarlett. "Are you up?" I heard Clay's voice in my head. I managed to get up from the bed and stretch my limbs, yawning. I looked out the window, and it was morning. I had a good night's sleep, but somehow I wished my mates were with me. However peaceful my sleep was, it was nothing compared to when Lucian cuddled me. "Are you up?" I heard Clay's voice in my mind again, and I smiled, maintaining my silence. He sounded cute. His voice was deep and appealing at the same time. It wasn't as deep as Lucian's, but it was seductive. My heart fluttered hearing him in my mind. "I am at your door, please open it, or I will break it down," Clay teased, and I giggled out loud and went to open the door. He looked hot in his blue jeans and white shirt. I sort of envied him. He could get away with his clothes because he had a wolf. It was freezing outside. Wolfless wolves like me need to be extra prepared so we don't freeze. He had a picnic basket in his hand, and I stepped aside and let him in.
Scarlett. Clay and I spent a while on the cliff, seeing a side of him I did not know existed. He was sweet and caring and assured me everything would be okay. I wasn't confident in his words because life had not been fair to me, but I hoped he was right. Every mistreatment and misunderstanding in my life would remain in the past. Soon it was late in the afternoon, and we packed up to leave. I held our belongings while I mounted Vinn to head back down. We rode back in silence, and I did not know what to expect when we got home. The pack members always gave me mean stares, but I kept it to myself. Clay had told me Redcape belonged to Lucian. Tealberg belonged to Maxwell, and the Highland mountain area belonged to Clay. They still owned more territories, and they ruled the parts together. I was glad to see their brotherly love. For Valkin Alphas, what they had was quite rare, and I hoped they would keep it. Maybe that was why the goddess gave them a mate to share. It might be in a bid t
Scarlett. My heart was pounding fast, unsure of what Maxwell wanted to do. I felt the cord that tied us tug, and my core ached some more. He spread my legs and growled, then bent to kiss my lips. No one had ever touched me there before, but the desire I felt took away the awkwardness. "So wet, Scarlett. Mint," he said, and I anticipated what he meant by pleasure. I felt his hot tongue on my mound, and I cried. He moved down my slit with his tongue until he reached my entrance. He circled my entrance with his tongue, and my body shuddered. "I won't push in too deep, I promise," he linked me, and I felt him place his finger in me. I moaned from pleasure, and I felt my core become wetter. What was he doing to me? Maxwell moved his tongue back to my mound and began to lick and suck it. "Goddess," I moaned, trying to handle my feelings. Soon he increased his speed a bit while probing my core with his finger. "So tight and sweet, Scarlett," he whispered and growled. "Mate," he said, an
Scarlett, There was a commotion in the corridor, and I heard people running. I sat up in bed, and I knew we were under attack. It was sudden, and I did not know what to do. Why hadn't my mates returned yet? I felt someone try my door, and when it didn't open, the person broke the lock. The man was huge, easily six feet six inches. I swallowed because his brown eyes had a murderous look in them. I did not know what to do. I wasn't a fighter. "Come here!" he roared at me, and I began to shake. What was happening? I heard something go off like a bomb, and I shook. The man seemed impatient and walked up to me and grabbed my hair. He began to drag me by it. It was painful, and I felt some strands come off the roots. "Please," I begged; the pain was blinding, and tears were in my eyes. "Is this the bitch?" The man said, and I looked at who they were asking. She was a staff member. They held a gun to her head, and she nodded immediately. "Time to pay for daddy's sins, Vladislav," the m
