Klaus The girl standing in front of me seemed a stranger to me, the little girl with whom I had a few childhood memories was not her. I always had empathy for her. I had presumed that we both were on the same boat, we both needed a solution to come out of that bullshit of betrothal but I was so fucking wrong. “Cut to the chase and say what you have in your cunning mind,” I uttered through my gritted teeth, balling my palms into fists. “You, my darling. You’re my childhood love. I want only you,” Amber’s eyes flickered to Scarlett’s who had put on a face void of any emotion. “You’re mine and I don’t like to share what’s mine.” Scarlett let out a deep sigh. “If you wouldn’t have been pregnant, I would have shown you no mercy for even imagining that my mate is yours and you can get him with your vicious witch powers.” “Witch?” Jenna’s voice drew everyone’s attention and we saw her standing at the door. She had overheard our conversation but Amber had no trace of worry on her face.
Scarlett My mate was the Alpha of the Black Moonstone pack and with that, he had to abide by the responsibilities his title carried. I wouldn’t let him lose his wolf just because of me. I’ll have to convince Amber to break her spell and free Todd. I was sure that Klaus couldn’t shift since he had lost his connection with Todd which meant that he was feeble. Jenna was sleeping peacefully so I slowly closed the door of her room and was aghast when I saw Marcus standing behind me. “You scared me,” said I as I let out a low sigh of relief. He bowed his head slightly. “Hello from your brand new bodyguard.” I rolled my eyes and started strolling toward the last room on this floor. “You’re dismissed. I can take care of myself.” “I can’t leave you alone when your mate has ordered me to stay with you like your shadow,” he winked at me. “Where are you headed?” Turning my face back, I bit my lips nervously. I had to take his help, I couldn’t track down Amber alone so I decided to tell h
Klaus “They are waiting for you,” Marcus informed me, keeping his head down. His face was the last thing I wanted to see right now, he reminded me of how foolish it was of me to trust him to protect my mate at such a crucial time. “Leave before I kill you,” I muttered in a cold voice before replenishing my glass of whiskey and throwing it down my throat. “At the moment, I couldn’t care less about what you want to do with me. I just care about Letty and she’s abducted by Alex and Harold so we must do as they say,” he dared to reason with me after all that happened. “Thanks to you, Marcus. My mate is not with me but a captive of my enemies,” I said bitterly, reminding him of his own mistake. “When I had specifically told you not to let Letty be near Amber, why the fuck did you let her go in her room?” “It seems like I have to personally come to talk to my son-in-law,” the Alpha King, Harold, said in a deep voice which irritated me to my core. Letting out a deep breath, I calme
Scarlett My eyes opened slowly and I took in my surroundings gradually. The dark room where no trace of the light reached and as I moved my hands to get up from the floor, my skin burned and a loud painful scream left my mouth. Silver. My hands were tied with the silver chains and as I wriggled my wrists to get out of that fucking silver chains, it burned my flesh and caused me excruciating pain. My legs were also tied with the silver ropes and I couldn’t move even slightly from the position I was laying on the floor. The room was completely dark, there was no object or a person my eyes could find. I didn’t want to give up like a weakling, I wanted to fight and rise from the ground to find an escape from here but the silver ropes were making it fatiguing for me. “The bitch,” I cursed Amber beneath my fast-paced breath. I shouldn’t have trusted her. She had abducted me and as far as I could remember, she had gotten help from a strange man who wanted me alive for some ulterior
Scarlett My life had more mystery than novels. One after one, I seemed to have revealed another secret of my life in front of me and I was too astounded to respond to it. Half of me was happy to know that my real mother was alive but half of me was feeling neglected and deceived. Why wasn’t I allowed to know about my life till now? Why did I have to go through this alone? Couldn’t she tell me that I was her daughter when she kept pretending to be the pack doctor all the years long? The way she shifted in her Lycan form left all the pack members dumbstruck and the terror was evident on their faces. I wanted to follow her and fight alongside her but my instincts told me otherwise. The animalistic voice calling out my mother’s name still echoed in my mind, making my hands tremble a bit. If my mom had kept me away from herself and hid my true identity, there must be a solid reason behind that and I shouldn’t let my mother’s sacrifice go in vain. I should trust her. “Luna,” a boy tug
Klaus “Hold her, Marcus. She needs to stay conscious,” Asher’s hurried voice rang in my ears as I slowly gained consciousness back. “The wound is deep. It’ll take at least a week to heal completely,” he said, dressing the wound on my chest. “It’s been four hours already. When will he open his eyes, Asher?” Scarlett asked in a hushed tone. “Amber had said that he’ll have to wake up within five hours,” my father stated to which Asher sighed. “If he didn’t wake up in the next hour, he might go into a coma and for how long, I don’t even know myself. Harold didn’t use only silver, he used Wolfsbane coated sword and as an antibiotic, I have given him Wolfdicine which takes two hours to work but his body is neither showing any sign of adoption of the antibiotic nor Scarlett’s blood sacrifice,” Asher explained everything which I could easily hear but I couldn’t respond to it. My body was unable to move, it seemed like I was paralyzed. My whole body was under scorching heat, every ounce
Scarlett I had never scrupled about my decisions but the man who still had his head bowed to me had made me question my decision. Though his words hurt like hell because I wanted to avenge my father’s death and the apocalypse he brought upon me and my family, this old man had a valid point. They would either end up dead by me for daring to capture my mate or by Samuel for defying his order. My animal was outrageous, the urge to kill that bloody uncle of mine was getting stronger passing by each second. “What am I supposed to do, then? Let Samuel kill my mother, my mate, and me, to protect his claim on the throne?” I uttered through gritted teeth. “I sense a duty toward my people so I can promise you that no innocent blood will be spilled in this feud of the so-called Royals.” “This promise is as futile as your father’s vow to protect his people,” he said withering. “Don’t forget that he was my father and your true Lycan King and Scarlett Lockwood won’t stand still, hearing you
Klaus I floated in the abyss, a realm of hazy consciousness, neither asleep nor awake. Time seemed to slip away, and the pain in my heart remained ever-present, like a relentless tormentor. In the distant echoes of my thoughts, I could sense the presence of voices, but they were muffled and distant, like whispers from another world. ‘Klaus, my love, can you hear me?’ A soft, melodic voice penetrated the darkness, pulling at the tethers of my awareness. It was Scarlett, my mate, calling to me with a voice filled with desperation and love. I struggled to respond, to reach out to her, but my body remained unresponsive, trapped in this agonizing state of paralysis. The burning pain in my heart intensified, a reminder of my helplessness. 'Amber,' Todd's voice trembled with uncertainty. 'She might be our only hope to wake you.' As if in response to Todd's suggestion, I sensed a surge of energy, a presence drawing closer to me. It was Amber, the powerful witch whose abilities had saved m
