**Scarlett's POV**.Where could he have gone? I needed to apologize for talking back to him that day. I thought he was crazy for yelling over a random picture, not knowing that she was his late wife.I sighed and stared at the beautiful woman. She looked lonely, and her eyes held peace. It was like someone could find comfort in her eyes, and it was as if she was looking at me and telling me all would be fine.I glanced around again, scrutinizing the whole place with my gaze. Everyone wore black and held different types of flowers in their hand; especially roses. They didn't look happy, meaning that they really loved their Luna. The silence that took over the entire place was starting to make me feel awkward. It was getting dark and still, I haven't seen the Alpha. I started to get worried and faced Sandra.“I can't find the Alpha.” I whispered to Sandra, who looked around as well.“He is probably somewhere, he'll be back with the elders.” She whispered back.I nodded and, just as she

**Alpha Xavier's POV**I couldn't control my emotions and cried on her shoulders for a long time while she patted my back, assuring me that all was well and everything would be fine.Avery has been the best thing that has ever happened to me and when she risked her life to save mine, I was unable to stop myself from feeling that it was all my fault. If she hadn't tried to save me, she wouldn't have died.Before we got here, Arnold had advised that I tried to get over her. That is what I'm trying to do, but it's damn hard. Even though I feel something for Scarlett, it still hurt to let my number one go, but it was a decision I had to make. I won't forget her because she shared a space in my heart.“There, there, it's alright. I know how you feel,” She said calmly, still patting my back. Her voice was so soothing, and I felt my tense muscles start to relax. After a few minutes, I pulled away from the hug and wiped my eyes. Suddenly, I realized what I had done; I just looked weak in the

**Scarlett's POV**“Huh?” His question caught me by surprise. I didn't know how to react or what to say.“What kind of question is that? If she didn't mean it, would she have said it, or are you thinking she did the same thing Cassandra did?” Arnold asked, and I began to wonder the same thing.Did he actually think I would act just to get on his good side? Why would he think this way after everything he told me at the waterfall? This got me wondering whether he meant what he said or he was just making a fool out of me like he always did.“I only wanted to know if she meant what he said, and you've already thought faraway. I appreciate people who show sincerity because they want to, not because they want to please people.” He said, glancing at me.“I have no one to please, and whatever I said there was what I was supposed to. I don't know her and I've heard a lot about her. I only took my judgment from what people said. If she wasn't a good person then people wouldn't have shown the wa

**Scarlett's POV**“You're letting go?” I asked, my voice laced with shock. “I'm not saying that I'll forget her or something. I just don't want to feel this pain continuously anymore.” He bent his head.I sighed. “I know, it's a good thing to let go, but are you really letting go because you want to?” I asked him and he nodded.“Most things I've understood from what Arnold told me is that holding on to the past can stop you from doing what actually makes you happy. You can't forget the past, but you can choose to be happy,” He faced me with a smile. “I have chosen to be happy, Scarlett.”I smiled back. “That's a good one. I didn't know you had this side to you,” I joked.“There are countless things you do not know about me.” He replied and I smiled.He took the picture and placed it on top of the shelf. Furthermore, he also dropped the frames he took out of his drawer on the shelf too and faced me.“That's the last one,” He sighed, putting his hand on his waist.I was happy he was f

**Scarlett's POV**"Please, go out with me. I love you."My eyes widened and my mouth became agape. Is this some kind of dream or what? If it is a dream, someone should wake me up before my heart gets toyed with."What did you just say?" My voice shook asI asked.He sighed. "I know it might sound crazy but I couldn't keep it anymore. You were the reason why I wasn't too affected by Avery's death anymore. You gave me a reason to smile again. I know we didn't stay off well. It has always been you and if you give me a chance, I promise to make things better between us. I promise you love and cherish you like gold because that is what you've become to me." He said and tears rolled down my cheeks.Was all these happening to me right now? The great Alpha Xavier loves me? A whole me? Common person like me? His confession fueled my hidden feelings for him and I couldn't help but let my tears flow freely.He used his thumb finger to wipe my tears away, while staring at me, anticipating an ans

**Michael's POV**“Who's there?” I asked as I walked through the deserted valley, but the response I got was silence. The silence gave off an eerie feeling, and the fact that I had no idea about where I was worsened it.I was barefooted and the ground was cold, making me shiver a bit.“Anybody?” I yelled into the night, but my voice echoed back to me.With a sigh, I decided to keep going, even though I had no idea about my destination. It seemed like I had walked for hours, but it was only for a second. I could feel my legs giving out and my body becoming weak.I looked ahead and saw a figure standing and looking in my direction. Happy that I had indeed found a savior; someone that would take me out of here, I summoned strength and rushed to the person. As I hit closer, I realized that it was a woman, but her face wasn't obvious, so I decided to keep going. Whoever she is, she might know a way out of here.When I got there, her face was still not visible, and I was prompted to ask, “W

**Elora's POV**“What the fuck just came out of your mouth?” I asked with a glare.Did he take me for a fool? How could he just wake up one morning and all he could tell me was how we should find Scarlett and apologize to her? “Don't get mad, Elora. It's just—”“Just what?” I cut in. “You must be joking. What did we do to her that warrants an apology, huh?” I snapped.“You know what we did to her,” He answered, and I licked my lips. “We accused her of what she didn't do. We framed her, Elora.” “And how are you sure those accusations were wrong? Didn't you know why I suggested that plan? I saw her doing it. I know her better than you because I was her best friend.” I yelled.He kept quiet for a while. “Then what about the nightmare?”“The nightmare? What nightmare?” I asked, arching my brows.“I saw Scarlett in my dream. She told me that I accused her of what she didn't do. She said she was coming for revenge and my life was what she wanted. I pleaded, but she didn't listen and kille
