Beyond My Mate's Betrayal

Scarlett's pov "Oh, man," I gasped, trying to contain the fresh feelings and emotions. I was forfeiting to the sinful desires burning in my heart. He lifted one leg on his shoulder and ran his tongue over the slit. "Baby girl, you taste so good," he growled. I grabbed his shoulder, my nails digging into his skin. I woke up, startled and looked around. When I saw the familiar surroundings, I breathed out in relief. It was just a dream. But it seemed to be so real and for a moment I thought I was cheating on my mate and enjoying it. And that too with Gavin who was long gone. I pushed my thoughts to the side and gathered the papers on Michael's desk. He must have left for the meeting without me when I fell asleep on the couch. I was about to put them away when something peculiar caught my eye My lips parted. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Right in front of me lay the papers that proved that Michael, my mate, had sent out the orders to kill me. But why? I couldn't un

Scarlett's povIn an effort to go as far away from the packhouse as possible, I ventured further into the woods. I wanted to hide until the ceremony was completed even though I didn't want to run from my pack. But hiding within the Pack's boundary meant that they would be able to find me. My father wouldn't leave a stone unrolled when he realised that I was gone. I continued to walk until I got close to the pack's boundaries. I crouched in a bush and peered around, knowing that my father's scouts would be on alert while they were on duty.I knew that staying in the premises of the pack My father's warriors would sniff me out and drag me back to the packhouse if they ever realised that I was hiding there. If I wanted to avoid attending the ceremony, I would have to cross the border undetected and wait in the unclaimed part of the forest until the ceremony ended. I hoped that then, I could avoid meeting Michael, my so-called mate.Perhaps my life would be different then. I saw the guar

Scarlett's pov. The agony roused me up from my sleep. My chest pain and the severe headaches had returned. Even in my past life, I had to endure the same pain repeatedly. I was diagnosed with a disease I never heard of at the time by the pack doctor. He called it a name that was entirely foreign to me. I was gullible and believed every word they told me. As months passed by the pain became a part of my daily life. It became so intense that I started to fear that my sickness was getting worse. This time, though, I had an epiphany as to its true nature. There was no way that this illness suddenly manifested itself after I met him. There could be only one possible explanation. Michael was sleeping with someone else. And who else could that someone be, other than my "beloved" bestie? Gritting my teeth, I grasped my stomach and waited for the ache to expire. Those traitors… it felt like they were having the time of their lives. The pain seemed to last for an eternity until I was finall

Scarlett's pov It's been two days since I rejected him. Doctors ruled out any potential illnesses and said I was in great shape. Gavin tried to hack into Georgette's phone but was unsuccessful. It made me wonder if I ought to make an effort to peek. The trouble was, I no longer wanted to be around her. I avoided her company in favour of hanging with the omegas or staying in my room. For a while, I was relieved that my parents stopped bringing Michael up. As usual, life continued, but I couldn't help feeling uneasy about the future. The catch, though, was that they were expert liars. There was no hint of impending doom at all. Someone knocked on the door. "It's open." A stout omega opened the door and offered a motherly smile. "Ma'am, the alpha is asking for you," she said, trying to smoothen the creases of her apron as she spoke. "Dad? Okay. Where is he?" "In the conference room," she said. I knitted my eyebrows together. The conference room? That sounded like a formal

Gavin's povShe heaved a breath and looked away when I asked her about her wolf. "Gavin. I don't know if you will ever be ready to hear me out or fathom what I know. But I have seen and heard enough to be convinced of what I believe in. You have noticed a massive change in my attitude and behaviour and it isn't without a good reason. I trust you and I will tell you everything. But can you just put faith in me at the moment? My wolf is part of whatever is going on…" Her forehead creased as she chewed on her lower lip - something she did whenever she was anxious. She then cast a pleading look at me. "This is a lot for me to accept. Before I tell everything to someone else, I need to digest it myself. Please, Gavin. A bit more time?" I had a sneaking suspicion that what she knew was crucial, but I nodded my head anyway. After dropping her off in the packhouse, I went back to my place. The sweet memories of the time I got to spend with her, lingered in my mind. After having something
