Scarlett 43 Regret
Lucian It had been hard living without Scarlett. My days were void of joy, and I often drank myself into a stupor. Clay was yet to give up. He passed her photo around and listed rewards for anyone that saw her. Maxwell was an empty shell. He would often go and take his anger out on Bianca and her child, but soon he stopped, realising that wouldn't bring Scarlett back. He was now never at home. I knew he usually shifted and sat by the roadside where her scent ended the night she ran away. He would sit there looking for a clue searching for a miracle, anything that would lead us to our mate: anything that would make the pain go away, but nothing happened. We were empty shells. We neglected our duties, but how could we function when our souls had been ripped from us? The seer said we shouldn't give up hope, and she might come back to us one day, but even hope had given up on us. I sat in my room and wept. I thought of everything I did and wept. I had never prayed, but feeling
Scarlett 44 BitterSweet
Lucian "I am sorry, Maxwell. I swear I will do everything within my power to fix it," I said to him, and he looked at me with teary eyes. "You can't bring her back, Lucian. You can't fucking fix it." He said, and my heart reached out to him. "She has no money, nothing. We took it all. We stole it all. Nikolay was right to shield his daughter from us. He was right," he said and buried his head in his palms and began to weep. "Please let us work together on this, Maxwell. I felt the pull, and you did too. She is somewhere out there, and I know we will find her," I said with hope. "I have been praying, and I know the goddess will answer," I said, and he chuckled. "Praying?" he said, looking at me with rage. "When has a prayer ever solved anything, Lucian? Just leave me the fuck alone," he said, and I knew it would be best to respect his wishes and keep my mouth shut. I hoped Elsa had something to say to revive our hope, or the tunnel would have no light. Elsa finally walked in wi
Scarlett 45 Hopelesness
Clay Learning where Scarlett was, and Keith's intentions towards her broke my heart completely. I had been driving to different towns to search for her. I had sent people to the South to look for her, all to no avail. I was glad to have found the traveller in a tavern at the Highlands. He was the one that told me of Keith's new obsession. He called her the last of the Vladislavs. I also knew that he spoke highly of her and Nikolay. At this point, I did not care about my misgivings because what Elsa told us about Nikolay made me realise we had messed up and hurt ourselves. I visited the highlands to see the renovation of the packhouse there. A separation from Lucian and Maxwell would be best. Had they allowed me to do the things I wanted and had they listened to me, we wouldn't have been in this predicament. Lucian was too hateful to think straight, and he was always there to choose the most painful option. Maxwell would always side with Lucian against me, leaving me with no choi
Scarlett 46 From Garland
Clay We left the apartment and went outside. The stench of the box's content was real, and I knew it was something rotten or dead. Maybe an animal. I wondered why Garland would send us a parcel with a letter. I also wondered why we did not get news of the attacks until the morning. Had they wiped out the settlements, or had the people there worked against us? Normally they should have reached us during the attack so we could send backup. The silence meant it was planned meticulously, and the people had actively chosen the Eastern Alpha over us. We were indeed a joke. Thinking of it, we were the only Valkin Alphas in history that bent to our people's will. Thanks to our parents, our authority was limited when they had the bright idea of sharing out responsibility with a biased narrow-minded council. The fact that war took our families from us, the three of us avoided it at all costs and always opted for a peaceful resolution even when it would cost us. It was this attitude that m
Scarlett 47 Trying To Bond
Scarlett I lay in Keith's arms in bed while he caressed my back. I had never experienced heat before but was glad I didn't experience it alone. My wolf had come, and I was still yet to process what had happened to me. Her name is Midnight, and she had tried to claim Keith as her mate. I fought her. As much as I felt a strong pull to Keith, I still felt like I was doing something wrong. I knew it was just a residual feeling I had for my mates, and I hoped it would go away soon because Keith was a great guy, and I was glad to be with him. "Should they bring us something to eat?" He asked me gently and kissed the top of my head. I moved away from his chest and sat up. "Let's eat in the dining room," I said, and he chuckled and sat up, then pulled me close to his body. "You smell delicious, Scarlett. Even I can't control myself right now," He said and nibbled my neck. His touch sent shocks of pleasure throughout my body, building up an ache in my pussy. "Don't you know every male
Scarlett 48 A Little Fun with Foe
Scarlett My heat returned with a vengeance, and Keith placed me on my hands and knees and started ramming into me fast. He was doing all he could to satisfy me. I hoped our bond would form eventually because I did not want to lose something this beautiful. He was perfect for me. All my mates gave me was pain. They made me loathe myself and my heritage. Lucian made me feel ugly, and they quickly believed outsiders over me. Not once did they try to make it work at their expense. Everything they did was at my expense. There was no way I would keep my bond with them. I wanted Keith. He was good to me. He was good for me. He accepted my flaws and all and has loved me genuinely since we met. I could not leave him. We spent the whole day fucking. I wouldn't say making love, even though that was how Keith saw it, but my heat made it primal. My wolf and I enjoyed every bit of it, and Keith was up to the task. Neither of us was exhausted. We showered, played, and then fucked when the heat r
Scarlett 49 Martha
Scarlett I sat still, battling the pull to my mate. Why was it so strong? Lucian's bond was tugging the hardest, and the weird part was that I was the one pulling. "What is this, Midnight?" I asked my wolf. "Mate," She said in response, a bit off. I sat still for almost forty minutes, and when the pull became too much to bear, I decided to leave the room. There was no way Keith would be mad about this. I had the right to move about the place. "Are we going to our mates?" Midnight asked me, and I sighed. "We are going to the kitchen for a snack and drink. Maybe that would ease the feeling of discomfort. Our mates are far away, and you know it won't be wise to show up there. Their people might lynch us for escaping their terrible punishment for us," I told my wolf, and she rescinded. I was angry, and I hoped there was a switch I could flip to stop me from feeling anything towards the three idiots, but there wasn't any. My emotions and pain were mine to bear alone. No matter how
Scarlett 50 Begging
Scarlett It could not be; the three of them were in the mansion? I stared at Martha. "They forced you here?" I asked her, and she shook her head. "They begged me to plead with you for forgiveness and ask you to come home. I was the one that decided to see you privately while they discussed matters with Keith," she said, and I realised why Keith did not want me to leave the room. He did not trust that I could keep my senses with them around. "I am not returning to hell, Martha. I am sorry. I won't return to where I was treated like shit. A place where no one cared or respected me. Where my father was hated, and people plotted against me. Where my mates were the source of my pain, I cannot go back there, Martha." I said and stood up. I planned to face the three of them to let them know they had come to waste their time and they should leave. I no longer want to be their object of torment. "Please, Scarlett. The East is at war with us. They aren't focused at all. They are spending
