“Concede, Potter,” Someone from the crowd shouts.
“Yes, It’s over,”
“Kill him,” An older woman says. The Alpha’s daughter is shouting, begging her father to fight back but in that position she has him, he can’t escape, the only way out is to concede but Alpha Juan Potter is a prideful man. He keeps struggling.
“What is she waiting for to put him down?” The crowd wanders, and my pity-felt gaze falls on Rhea, she doesn’t want to kill him. CRACK.
A lot of things happened at once, Bailey screams and cries fill the air, I’m assuming from his original pack and the rest of the crowd burst into cheers, cheering at Rheanna for killing Potter. I am on my way to them when shots are fired and the crowd scatters, running in different directions. My mate pulls me behind a tree and not too far away a gunshot sounds again, and Leon is gone from me, I search in the crowd with my eyes for him and find him, tackling a man to the ground, it is the former Beta, he is lying on the floor in a pool of his blood. A howl sounded and I turn to see Dan, killing another man, there is a gun on the ground next to him. I rush to Leon and inspect him for any injuries
“I’m Okay,” He says, looking around in the crowd. The people were gone, only our warriors in uniforms remained, they pinned brut men to the ground.
“Rhea,” Dan calls and I turn to her too, she is sitting on her legs, her eyes watching the ground before I realize there is someone there, the Alpha’s son, Jason. I approach them and notice his chest has blood, he is shot three times in the chest and is barely breathing.
“He… He – just jumped in front of me,” She murmurs. Her hands are shaking slightly, not knowing what to do, Jason keeps chanting the words sorry to her with difficulty. Blood is coming out of his mouth.
“Ja- Jas, Jason, don’t talk please, you need medical care,” Rhea’s voice is quivering.
“He won’t make it, the bullets used are silver,” My mate says, he doesn’t give a damn about Jason as he shouts out orders to his men.
“My love,” Dan is overcome with calmness as soon as he sees that no harm came to his mate. He crouches down and closes Jason’s eyes.
“Thank you for saving my mate,” He whispers.
“You FUCKING WENCH! You’ve killed my brother too!” Shouts Bailey, she’s a crying mess and is being restrained by a warrior.
“It should have been you who died, cunt Rhea, not my poor brother!” She’s been hysterical, Dan waves his hand and they carry her toward the packhouse.
“Rhea, how are you doing?” I ask as Dan helps her up, her eyes meet mine and tears flow down her cheek, shaking her head furiously.
“I’m not fine,” She cries, Dan carries her into his arms and takes her to the packhouse, leaving my mate and me to clean the mess.
“Well, we have a long night ahead of us,” Leon sighs, and two of his men appear, instructing that the assailants should be locked away after getting their statements” Also we need a report and how did they manage to bring in guns to such an event? Weren’t they searched first?” I ask the head of security, the man looks confused.
“We searched everyone for weapons, Ma’am but…” He continues to… say what must have happened and after doing all we had to, it was almost in the early hours of the day, we were tired and I was hungry. We go to the packhouse and rest in a guest bedroom.
Princess Scarlett’s POV
My inner bear was going crazy with excitement when she heard our mate call unto us. It’s like all strength that was lost is back. I closed my eyes and tried to connect to the lovely voice of my mate but just as it came, it was gone, and left with a sullen mood but not for long though. His voice was soothing. A smile makes its way onto my face and I exhale. I need to hold on a little longer. In a week or so, the spies we sent to the camps will come back with news. I told them to target their leaders who will convince the people to fight with us and general Mikko is trying to determine how many the rogues are and witches. It won’t be easy to take back my pack and will take weeks or even months but we’ll do it and knowing that my mate is out there, gives me strength.
I lay on the bed as the voice repeats in my head.
‘Scarlett,’ Has my name always sounded so beautiful? My heart accelerates and immoral thoughts invade my mind. I feel like a teenager falling in love except that, I’m not anymore.
Love, love… I have been in love once before but I was a child. He was my high school crush. I was so happy when he asked me but I couldn’t date him because he was my brother’s best friend.
The door to my room slams open and I jump out of bed, Amacus is scrutinizing me intently as though I got something of his
“Today is a day of visitors I see,” I say in a bored tone. “What do you want?”
This man utterly disgusts me, he is a menace in the supernatural realm and I wish to end him however, the spell Agatha cast on me prevents me from shifting.
“I’m here to convince you to marry me,” He says. I cross my arms against my chest
“And why would I do that?”
“Because together we can be the most powerful,”
“I don’t want power,” I retort. Amacus made his way into my kingdom intending to marry me. He was a charming man indeed and everything he did was graceful and attractive, my parents even considered our union but I was against it because I wanted to find my destined mate.
He asked to stay a week longer after I rejected him and my parents permitted and that’s how he came up with a plan to kill my family and take over the militia. I was sold to a brothel by one of his men in the city but he got me back after realizing that he can’t control this pack without a royal member.
He advances towards me and I stay rooted, not moving back
“Scarlett, I don’t want to force you but you shall leave me no choice,”
“I’m never marrying you, wizard, you can kill me if you desire, and let’s see how you can govern my people then,” I spat. He knows that without me, he doesn’t use the army, that’s an advantage I have over him. He smirks and grabs my neck, kissing me forcefully and throwing me against the wall. I wince in pain but quickly get up. I glare at him
“You will marry me sooner or later and I hope it’s soon because your people will suffer,” He warns and exits the room. My hands shake in anger as I glare at the door.
Arya’s POV
I was hesitating to pick up that phone and tell Leon where I have been spending most of my time. I grab my phone with one stern look from my mate and I dial his number. I chew on my fingertips as I wait. Jacob signals me to sit on his lap. He is stroking my hair just as my brother answers his phone
“Hello,”
“Hey, Leon, how’s it going?” I ask softly. He sighs and proceeds to ask how I’m doing. I lean into my mate’s warm chest. He nods encouragingly and I clear my throat
“I’m mated to Jacob Jones,” I say quickly, clutching my eyes shut but I’m met with silence. I can hear his breathing so he hasn’t ended the call.
“What did you say again?” He questions.
“I’m mated to Jacob Jones, it’s not my fault and I know how you feel about the Jones but brother-“
“Shut up, Arya,” He says softly. I keep quiet.
“Let’s talk in person, where are you?”
“New North moon?” I say as a question, and he growls
