Scarlett found the idea of training with Nicole intriguing. Unable to venture out alone, seizing the chance to unleash some pent-up energy sounded like a great plan. Without much contemplation, Scarlett enthusiastically agreed. After breakfast, Nicole led Scar to her exclusive training spot in the palace’s backyard. Giving Scar a tour, Nicole showcased the area, and Scar found herself quite fond of the place. Donning their workout attire and securing her long curls, Scar embarked on her training session with Nicole.To Nicole’s surprise, everything went smoothly in the training arena. Scarlett embraced the training regimen, behaving like any other seasoned warrior, giving it her all. Two hours later, a slightly winded Scarlett decided to take a break. Ulva, too, seemed at ease after a good workout. As Scarlett reached for some water, Nicholas strolled onto the scene, with Dave trailing behind.Their eyes locked, and slowly, Nicholas’s gaze roamed over Scarlett, sending shivers down h

Scarlett held her breath. With him this close to her, it’s an impossible task to breathe properly. While he might have the willpower to control himself, she, on the other hand, lacked that luxury!‘Need to get out of here!’ Scarlett chanted in her head, and the moment the mask was on, she practically rushed out of the car. The force of the cold air hit her suddenly, making her shiver and eventually calming her heated nerves.However, the respite didn’t last long as Nicholas’s warm and sizable arm touched her lower back. Her gaze met his, and he nodded, saying, “Let’s go...”The sudden tenderness in his tone was challenging to get used to. This man was so sorted with his emotions and needs. Behind everyone’s eyes, he was a cold and aloof man, seemingly impossible to touch, always pushing her away. Yet, in front of everyone, he was the sweetest man, smitten with his little mate, and willing to fight against the world for her.These two conflicting personalities were confusing for Scar t

“Oh no, not again!” Scarlett groaned inwardly. “Can’t I catch a break for just a few moments of peace in this life?” With a sigh, she searched for the voice that had interrupted her and soon discovered a pair of mesmerizing ocean-blue eyes locked onto her.The owner of the eyes was a woman with flowing blonde hair, dressed in a dazzling blood-red gown and adorned with a matching mask that concealed her face. Standing at an impressive 5’9” with an hourglass figure, she exuded an air of goddess-like allure. No wonder there was an alluring charm hidden beneath the mask.With a champagne glass in hand, the lady in red scrutinized Scarlett from head to toe, a small smirk playing on her lips. “Bold choice of hair color, weird eyes with not-so-majestic aura, pretty... Disgusting,” she remarked, the poetic tone of her words grating on Scarlett’s ears.“Tsk~tsk, poor Nicholas... It’s sad that he actually waited for this,” she scrutinized Scarlett again before adding, “Someone with no sense of

The following day,Scarlett awoke to an empty bed, a usual occurrence. It had become a routine forNicholas not to return home at night. Glancing at the vacant side of the bed,Scar couldn't help but replay the previous night's events. She had abruptly leftthe party and, unfortunately, crossed paths with General Lauren. Just beforethings could take a nasty turn, Nicholas had dispatched Dave to escort her homeunder the guise of work. Nicholas remainedat the party, and so did Lauren. Scarlett sat upright, her heart in knots,wondering, 'What if they spent the entire night together?''He chose you overGeneral Lauren, Scar. If he wanted to be with her, why pick you in the firstplace?' Ulva remarked, rolling her eyes.'Then why is heout almost every night, Ulva? Maybe not with her, but there could be otherwomen,' Scar argued, leaving the bed and heading to the bathroom to completeher morning routine.'He signed acontract that prohibits a physical relationship and any other compa

Savoring amouthful of omelet, Scarlett couldn't resist stealing a glance at theincredibly handsome man beneath her long lashes. It's doubtful that this mancould be a thousand years old.In the world ofshifters, longer lives for wolves were nothing groundbreaking. However, forregular wolves, it rarely exceeded 300 years, and the Alpha bloodline couldapproach 500 years. When a wolf pup turned 16 or 17, they gained their wolvesunder the full moon. Before that, they were considered pups and grew up likenormal humans. Once they transformed into wolves as adults, their aging processslowed down. For Scar, shefound her wolf at 16. Though she knew a lycan could live up to 1000 years, shenever imagined a millennium-old Lycan would look around thirty! How on earthdoes he manage to stay so youthful?"Whathappened?" Nicholas's sudden, deep tone startled Scar, causing her spoonto slip from her hand. Blinking, she looked up and shook her head, stammering,"Nn-nothing! Nothing... Haha.
