Heirs, 38

(Pov: Scarlett)

"Things around here have changed quite a bit," I said as I looked around and approached my daughter, who was leaning against a tree.

"You didn't take long at all, Mom," she said excitedly and quickly stood up to hug me.

"Yes, I've waited a long time for this day. Thank you for your good work, my dear, for giving me this revenge," I smiled, but I noticed that the smile she gave me was sad. I saw a glimmer of regret in her eyes. It bothered me, but I didn't question it now. I needed to hurry. "Are they alone?"

"Yes, the younger ones went to a championship in another pack," she informed in a low voice.

"Wonderful," I celebrated. My small army was hidden behind the trees around the house, waiting for my commands. "It makes it even easier to subdue that pack of lousy supremes," I mocked.

"What!?" Renata asked, alarmed. "Weren't you just planning to get back at Lina and..."

"I've changed my mind," I cut her off rudely. "I want it all, Renata."

"But..."

"No 'buts,'" I said firmly. "I'm your mother, and I won't accept being contradicted. Besides, be ready for the moment when I call you for help," I warned.

"Mom," she called as I turned my back on her. "Scarlett," she spoke firmly, which irritated me. She had never called me by my name before.

"That's enough, Renata!" I approached her, standing inches from her face, and stared into her eyes. "You will stay quiet and let me follow my plan."

"Wasn't it our plan?" she questioned, which annoyed me even more.

I turned my back again, ignoring her, and left her alone. I didn't have time for sentimentality, and it seemed like she had started to like those damn wolves. You could see it in her sad expression. I wouldn't let that damn wolf steal my daughter's love. I would kill her before that.

"Rick, come with me," I said, looking at a specific spot in the darkness where I knew he was. "I want the others on standby," I instructed.

"Yes, ma'am," he replied to my commands, approaching me, and we walked side by side.

I lifted my right leg and, with a small percentage of my strength, kicked the door, which crashed to the ground, making a loud noise and scattering shards on the floor. I watched Nicollas and Lina's eyes widen in surprise, and then I saw anger in my enemy's eyes. I was glad that the feeling was mutual, I thought.

"You have no idea how pleasurable it is to be back," I said, smiling wickedly.

"I'm going to kill you!" Lina assured through gritted teeth, making my smile even wider.

"Did you miss me, little project?" I asked sarcastically.

"You wretch," Nicollas cursed, and Rick had the courtesy to punch him in the face before he could finish his insults. The supreme staggered backward and held onto the wall.

"You filthy lapdog!" Rick spat near Nicollas. "Clean your mouth before..."

"You lackey!" Nicollas responded defiantly, and Rick kicked his face, causing him to roll until he hit the couch. I noticed his movements were slow. This was getting even better.

Lina came at me again, and I trapped her in a chokehold, holding her until she passed out.

"You're no match for me, little wolf," I said while holding her unconscious body.

"What did you do to my mate, you damn bloodsucker?" Nicollas spoke, unable to get up, and I just rolled my eyes. I looked at my accomplice, and he quickly understood the message, kicking Nicollas in the face, causing him to fall unconscious. This was becoming very easy.

"Tell them to post two guards at the door and don't let anyone through, then bring him," I ordered. Rick did as I said quickly, and then we went up the stairs and into the office, where I tied the two enemies to chairs next to each other, impatiently waiting for them to wake up.

I decided to slap their faces a few times, which quickly woke them up in shock.

"Get up, scum," I demanded.

"Bitch," Nicollas cursed, and I gave him another sharp slap in the face.

"Don't touch my mate, you bitch," Lina yelled, and my smile widened.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold, Lina," I commented and sat astride her mate's lap, who tried to knock me down but failed. "You won't mind sharing him with me in your final moments, will you?" I asked as I smelled his neck. I felt nauseated by the strong wolf scent burning my nostrils, but I didn't let them know.

"I'm going to kill you so slowly, Scarlett," Lina spoke with anger, and to provoke her even more, I ran my hand over Nicollas's shorts, making his eyes gleam with anger and jealousy.

"Let go of me, you bitch," he shouted, and I ignored him and continued exploring his body.

"How strong he is," I commented, running my hands over his hard muscles. If he weren't a filthy wolf, I might even be aroused. I took a deep breath and got off his lap.

"You know, Lina," I approached her. "I had everything until you reappeared. I had my plans, a castle, I had Deni," I said, reminiscing about the good times I had at the castle before everything changed. "But as soon as you showed up, my life turned upside down. You stole his love from me!" I shouted in anger and punched her in the nose, causing a thin line of blood to trickle.

"I never had anything with Deniel," she said with a pained expression. "Even if I hadn't appeared in your lives, he would never have been yours," she said, smirking, which only fueled my anger.

I didn't care about the blood that flowed from her nose and mouth due to the punches I delivered to her face, ignoring Nicollas's protests. Her face was already swollen, purple, and bathed in blood.

"I'm having so much fun," I said, smiling, enjoying this long-awaited moment.

"What..." she spat blood. "What did you do to my... daughter?" she asked with difficulty, and I smiled widely, displaying all my teeth, before starting to tell an exciting story.
