ScarlettWhere is it?" The voice barked for the umpteenth time, assaulting my ringing ears. A cloth was tightly tied around my eyes and another loosely over my mouth, leaving just enough space for me to talk."No idea. " I gave the same answer, earning another slap, forceful enough that it whipped my head to the side. The impact left a sting on my face, but other than that, I didn't cower. The metallic taste of blood filled my mouth, flowing from my burst lip and bleeding nose.A bitter chuckle followed after my answer from the mysterious man. "You think that you are tough because you can handle a little pain, ?"His smelly breath, similar to rotten eggs, fanned my face as he mocked. I literally gagged, tilting my face to avoid the assaulting malodorous smell. The man had other ideas though; he tightly grasped my chin, digging his nails into my skin. "I have seen this before, you know," he mocked, "you, pretending to be all man. "My brows furrowed, ? But then Silas never punished me

Scarlett"Remind me where we were before I got distracted." Cane flashed his dirty yellow teeth yet again. I closed my eyes briefly for a wave of nausea to pass. Pulling the barrier down to warn Jaxon about the spy had drained me. I hadn't eaten for hours coupled with the couple of slaps and punches I had endured from Cane. I needed to preserve energy for my escape, after I uncovered more about Cane, Silas and the powerful warlock."Uh huh." His face hardened when I made no move to talk. "Where is it?" He bellowed, kicking my shin when I just looked at him. The pain radiated from the point of contact, numbing my leg up to my knee. Deciding to give him what he wanted I cried out, begging him to stop."I need to know where it is, fucking tell me!" He stepped on my bare foot, the sound of my bones cracking and my sharp piercing cry filling up the enclosed space. I couldn't allow my wolf to awaken in fear of healing, I had no intentions of him knowing that the silver hadn't worked.I swal

Scarlett.I writhed under Jaxon, my hands tightly grasping the sheets under my body as my mate rocked into me. My insides were set on fire, every deep stroke hitting my sweet spot with so much precision. The sound of skin slapping skin filled our bedroom as we became one. A day after my return home, we couldn't resist each other despite Jaxon insisting that I needed to heal completely."I missed this, fuck." He grunted above me, his warm breath fanning the back of my ear."Me too." I panted, biting my lower lip when he increased the speed, rocking my body into the mattress. With every thrust, my boobs rubbed on the cotton material beneath me, warming up my hard buds. His scent calmed me while it kept the fire of desire burning inside of me at the same time."I want you on all fours." He instructed, giving me enough room to position as ordered. I could feel moisture dripping past my lower lips, down my inner thighs."Like this?" I teased, wiggling my ass for him. He swore, delivering a

Alpha Jaxon"Ignoring her will only worsen the situation as it is." Theiry pointed out, looking over at the pups training under the Beta's watch. I was seated beside him on the bleachers, typing furiously on my phone."Mind your fucking business." I fired back, lifting my face to look at the training in progress. They were being introduced to hand to hand combat, each junior warrior paired up with a senior one.Thiery shrugged, looking at the far end of the training ground. Almost every spot, every building in the pack was surrounded by trees and grassland. He spotted Scarlett walking towards the grounds with a group of mated she wolves."Well here she comes." Thiery sent a side way glance to the me, my gaze fixed on my approaching mate. My eyes then darted around the area, bouncing across the open space. "Don't tell me you're looking for an escape..."Thiery burst into loud laughter, waving at an amused Scarlett. When the pups saw her, they stopped the training and bowed respectfully

Alpha Jaxon"I thought Scarlett had already arrived." I looked at my wrist watch, tapping my foot on the wooden stage."She should be here by now." Thiery looked around, shifting on his feet slightly while he turned to look behind us. My father held a glass of scorch on his hand, seated on the wooden chair with the rest of the elders. "Scarlett left a few minutes ago, said she wasn't feeling well."My father's words had my wolf responding by trying to tap on Scarlett's emotion. "Relax, said she'll lie down a bit, she will be here before the ceremony kicks off." He added when I swept my hand over my gelled hair."Trouble in paradise still?" Thiery nudged, whispering on my shoulder. I scoffed, ignoring him. The last thing I wanted was to get riled up in front of my pack."You know, a drift between you will cause a drift amongst us without even knowing." He didn't get the hint that I wanted to be left alone. I couldn't believe his audacity, bringing up the issue in front of everyone."Sh
