CHAPTER 9

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️

Acacias

————————

'Wake up King we got some Rouges who tried killing a family along the pack borders' a border guard said through the mind link

I left out a small groan and look over at my beautiful Queen. She looked beautiful while sleeping. Her messy black hair all over her face. I smiled softly at the sight of my beautiful mate

I've never smiled this much before I am used to showing no expression.

I got up and started to get ready

Before I headed out I took another glance at Scarlett and craved her touch even more. I sighed and headed to the guard's grounds. A place where the guards on duty can sleep and eat. Outback is where we torcher and interrogate Rouges and pack members who define my orders.

I loved to see the fear on people's faces when they see me I also love to hear the screams and yells for help as torture the living hell out of them

I love the adrenaline rush I get after ripping their throat out or after I gut them alive

'I'd rather be with our mate' Avery growled

'Me too, but we can't let her distracted us from our duties' I said to Avery

I entered the guard's grounds

'Let's get this over with so we can spend the day with our mate' Avery huffed

I agreed silently

Scarlett POV

——————————

I rolled over and let out a sigh when I felt that the other side of the bed was cold

He left

I huffed out and got up I walked onto his patio that overlooked the pack grounds. I smiled at the pups running around near the forest. I looked up at the blue sky and closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

I'm not a typical witch. I wasn't taught magic the same way as other kids my age. My parents and the elders didn't know how to teach me. As I grew I learned I could do anything I put my mind to. At times of distress, I have to say spells out loud to control myself and in other times, it's as if my powers controlled me I-

I was pulled from my thoughts when I heard a loud pitch scream. I looked in the direction of the scream and saw the little kids running away from the forest.

I then saw a little girl run from the forest only to be thrown back into the forest.

I gasped softly and jumped off the patio from the second story and caught myself with a bit of magic. I ran towards the forest and I wondered how no one heard the screams I ran into the forest I was suddenly pinned against a tree.

"Where are you going princess," Acacias said pushing a strand of hair behind my ear

"There was a little girl- she was pulled into the woods," I said breathlessly

"Hey there is no girl if there was I would know," he said cupping my face with his hand

"Yes- yes there is she has blonde hair and was wearing a bright pink dress I saw her with my own eyes," I said pushing him away

"I will send out pack warriors it's too dangerous out here," he said grabbing my wrist

"No, i-" I was cut off by a scream

Acacius and I looked in the direction the scream came from and before I could say something I ran towards the direction of the scream and there I saw a big brown wolf over the little girl who was sobbing before I could even react Acacias shifted into his wolf his clothes shredded into pieces and he attacked the wolf he threw the wolf towards a tree the wolf grunted and got back up I ran to the little girl checked if she was hit and saw a big gash on her forearm. I looked over at the wolf and Acacias who seemed to be mind linking I took a part of Acacias shredded clothes and used it as a bandaged for the little girl I picked up the little girl who was now passed out I looked at Acacias and he lunged over at the wolf and ripped it's head off without hesitation. He then turned to look at me with the wolf's head still in his mouth he dropped the wolf's head once he saw me. Then came out 2 pack warriors from the forest. Acacius snapped at them and they bowed in fear. Acacius let out a loud growl and one of the wolves ran off and returned with clothes and placed it behind a tree.

"Oh my baby" I heard a voice call from behind me

I turned and saw a young woman jogging towards me she reached for the little girl in my hands

"She passed out probably from fear but she has a gash on her forearm It didn't look too deep either," I said as I handed her the little girl

"Thank honey thank you so so much," she said on the verge of tears

"No problemo but you should thank Aca- I mean the King he-"

"I can't take all the credit," Acacias said while pulling me closer to him by my waist

"Thank you both of you I'm forever grateful," she said with a smile

She walked off and I turned to Acacias and searched for gashes or blood

"I'm fine," he said cupping my face and making me look at him

I sighed and smiled

"Good now I can do this with a clear mind," I said with a smile as I punched him in the arm

He grunted in pain

"Geez woman that hurt," he said rubbing his arm

"You left this morning without telling me" I huffed out and crossed my arms

"I'm sorry I didn't want to wake you, you looked so peaceful," he said pulling me closer to him by my waist

I pushed away from him and let out a small smile before walking away

He suddenly appeared in front of me with a big smile

"My sisters are coming back from going to packs to put up protective barriers with their mates, and I want you to meet them," he said with a soft smile

My smile dropped

His sisters are mates with my witch's-AHHHHH

But who can it be Mia? Or-

"Or you don't have to no rush," he said in a whispering tone

"What? Ohhh no no it's just that you said they went to put up protective barriers with their mate and last I remember it was only partners of one witch and wolf per pack and-"

"Oh OH yeah I haven't met their mates myself" he cut my rant short

"But," he said pulling me into his chest

"We can find out together," he said

Suddenly it clicked in my head and I slapped his chest softly

"do you have something of theirs that I can hold," I asked

"Yeah, it's back at the packhouse why?" He asked confused

"I can use it to see who is their mate," I said excitedly

"What are we waiting for them let's go," he said matching my excitement

Whoever said he was a big bad wolf was lying

-

"Okay sit down," I said from inside the circle of candles

He grabs both t-shirts he found that belong to his sisters he placed them down and sat down in front of me I closed my eyes and focused on finding who their mates were

"Don't you need to say something-"

"Shh," I said cutting him off

"But don't-"

"Shhhhhh," I said even louder

He got the idea and finally shut his mouth once I saw white flashes I grabbed Acacias hand and then everything felt like it was spinning

"Open your eyes," I said as I opened my own

I saw Acacias across from me I looked around and saw that we were in the hospital

"Look there they are," Acacias said pointing down the hall behind me

We both got up and I grabbed his hand and we ran down the hall. We saw his sisters enter a hospital room and when we got near we saw two beds and Mia and Stephanie were asleep. I smiled big and turned to Acacias and smacked him.

"Why did you hit me," he said rubbing his arm

"Sorry I have this thing where I hit people when I'm sad, happy, mad, or any kind of emotion," I said laughing

Suddenly the ground started to shake and it was as if we were sucked into a black hole

"Looking into someone else's memories" my mom's voice called out

Acacias and I opened our eyes to see my mother with one hand on her hip and with two books in her other hand

"Heyy mom," I said laughing a bit
