Scarlett:

“Are you sure that you don’t want me coming in with you, Scarlett? You look exhausted as hell…”

“There’s no need for that, Dylan. thank you” I said politely. In truth, I didn’t have a place to stay. After closing my contract with this building, I knew that 1 couldn’t just open it. Plus, I didn’t even have money to pay for it; however, I didn’t want him to know that.

“Alright, just give me a call if you need anything, yeah?”

“Thank you” I said politely before getting out of the car. I watched as he drove before getting inside the building and sitting on the stairs. I knew that I would end up getting kicked out; however, that was the last thing I cared about. I had things to worry about, and therefore, that was the least of my concerns.

I knew that I needed a job to support myself, and if I ever decided to want to see my daughter,

somehow, even take her, I need to have legal proof that I could take care of her. However, living broken under Alexander’s shadow was not something that I wanted her to know about me. It wasn’t how I wanted her to see her mum, I refused it.

“What are you doing here, Scarlett?” The building’s landlord asked, looking down at me. He knew that me leaving on short notice was breaching my contract, but with Alexander’s terms, I knew that I could do nothing about it.

“I just needed a place to sit, my apologies” I said, getting up before he could kick me out. His eyes glared daggers at me, and taking a step forward, he grabbed me by my neck, wanting to choke me, making my eyes widen in surprise.

“I hope that you are aware of what you’ve cost me when you left unannounced” he stated coldly, his breath which smelled like liquor hitting my face as he leaned in “and I believe that I know how you could pay back for it”

“Don’t touch me” I said, putting my hand on his wrist, wanting to push him away. I knew not to tighten my grip too much as not to reveal myself as a wolf; however, I also knew that the last thing I wanted was to be taken advantage of.

“Why? It would be the least that you could do after that stupid stunt you pulled” he said, loosening his grip around my neck as he lowered his hand down my waist. I let out a low growl of warning, no longer caring about him finding out about me being a wolf before pushing him back, forcing him to let my hand go. His eyes widened in surprise, and took a step back, as he processed what just happened.

However, I punched him in the face and ran out of the building as fast as I could, making sure that he couldn’t reach me, and knowing that he wouldn’t dare follow me anyway, not after he now knew that I could kill him in a blink, I knew that I shouldn’t be too worried; however, I still chose not to look back to see whether or not he was following. I would have rather kept my sprint.

My heart raced, and it was a while before I stopped to catch my breath. I sat on the floor of an empty pavement, knowing that I really had nowhere to go at this point. My chest ached as I felt both empty and alone, and it was times like this when I wished that my parents didn’t choose to save the Alpha and his mum. They could have saved themselves and me, and I would have at least had a family; however, for as long as I could remember, despite being raised by the pack’s Alpha and Luna, 1 have been secluded, living alone in my empty house, only being invited over for meals.

For some, it would have been more comfortable; however, to me, I just felt like I was breaking inside.

The walls reminded me of the fact that I had no one but the walls that surrounded it, and even when I did come of age, wishing that I would find myself a mate, someone who might at least look at me differently, someone to welcome me as part of his family; however, I should have known that I wasn’t lucky enough for that.

Whereas any other girl would have been her happiest being the Alpha’s mate, I was the most frightened. The Alpha, my mate, the man who was supposed to be my world, and I his, hated me, had another lover, and saw me as the omega that he never wanted to consider.

His mating bond not only cost me my virginity, something that kept me somewhat pure, it also cost me my pride and dignity. Having been rejected, I couldn’t even look at anyone in the pack for days, and after finding out that I was pregnant, I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror.

Now, I even lost the one person who I thought might be my blessing.

My daughter.

Who was I kidding? Why would Alexander come and look for me when he could have the woman of his dreams by his side? I just gave them a clear field, and regardless of the consequences, I knew that she would do her best to ensure that she didn’t lose him, and in the end, I was the one who lost.

“Why?” I asked, breaking my silence “why do I have to live through all that? Why can’t I be like everyone else? Why can’t I just look at something and have it?”

My chest ached, and pulling on the roots of my hair, I found myself screaming before I could stop myself, my heart feeling like it was ripped out of my chest.

“When is all of this going to end? When would it be my turn to truly smile without fearing being judged, misunderstood, or spoken of?” I asked, again, wiping my tears as I stared at the sky “just when?”
