SCARLETT

At home.

“Are you sure you’re okay? You don’t need to go back to the hospital?” Callum asked me as he walked into my room. I was seated in front of my vanity mirror as I packed my hair up in a messy bun and wore a bonnet over it. I shook my head slowly looking at him through the mirror and I gently turned to look at him.

“Callum, I think you’re his target, not me” I said to him, he dropped to sit on my bed and gently turned my chair to face him, pulling me closer to him.

“What are you talking about?” He asked, I exhaled deeply and began to speak.

“He keeps saying he wants to return things back to what they’re supposed to be, I asked him what was normal and he said I couldn’t give it to him unless I died, that I was ruining his plans,”

“He also said that you can’t mate me because it’d make things more difficult for him,”

“It’s obvious that he has set his plan in motion way before I came here, so how could I be this target. His attacks are strategic, kidnapping pups? You kno

    SCARLETTNext day. 10:00am.“I’m so sorry Ma’am Helen. I’ll look through the applications and get back to you very soon,” I said to the headmistress over the phone. “No no, it’s no problem. I understand you’ve been quite occupied. Please take your time and take care of yourself too” She said, my grip around the phone tightened and I smiled lightly. “Ofcourse, I will” I responded and with that I moved the phone away from my ear. “Luna, would you like to have your breakfast now?” I heard Hilda — the head chef ask me. I turned to her and shook my head slowly. “Not yet,” I whispered.“Luna, you just got back from the hospital, you need to eat,” she said, I flashed her a small smile and nodded in resignation. “Okay fine, but just a little” I said to her and she nodded firmly with a smile. “So What did you prepare this morning” I asked as I followed her to the dinning table. I paused immediately we got there and I saw Callum sitting there. Ofcourse, why would Hilda insist on me eating

    SCARLETT Later that day. 4:00pm “First rule in fighting is to keep your guards up” Callum said firmly, standing behind me, his hot breath fanning my neck as he helped me position my hands.He slowly let go of me and came to stand in front of me raising his hands into position, his elbows tucked and his fists near his face. “Like this,” he muttered.“Protect your head and keep your stance solid. Come on, let’s see it.” He said, I nodded firmly as I mimicked his arms placement, my fists were slightly uneven. He chuckled lightly as he stepped closer again, gently adjusting my elbows and tilting my chin downward. “Good,” he murmured. “But don’t be so tense. Monitor your opponent movement, defend yourself against them but don’t attack, so you don’t burn out fast!” “When they think they’ve gotten you weak then you attack, that’s the idea!” He explained.“Ohh wow, that’s what he did yesterday, he let you expend all your energy” I said to him and he nodded.“Exactly! Come on! Hit me!

    CALLUMNext day. At the office.“Callum I understand how frustrating the situation is but we just have to restrategize and come up with another plan as soon as possible,”“Even if he was still alive, he didn’t seem like he was going to help us in anyway. He literally killed himself!” Nolan said to me. I dropped my hands slowly and sighed angrily.“Annabeth is working tirelessly to recover the hacked video footage, she said it’d be ready anytime soon.”“Also, you have the fight with Alpha Kade tomorrow to worry about!” He said to me, I sighed and nodded firmly. “Have some people Monitor Kael for me, I want to know everything he’s doing per time” I said to him, he furrowed his brows at me in confusion. “Kael? Why?”“I’m suspecting him!” I replied firmly. He shrugged obviously still shocked by my decision.“No problem, I’ll do that. I’ve reached out to the elders concerning tomorrow also. They’re asking you to visit the seer before you go” he said I rolled my eyes to the back of my he

    Author’s POVNight of the War, Night of the Full Moon. The full moon hung low in the sky, providing enough light for war. Hundreds of Willow Brooke warriors gathered in the plain, determination written on their faces, their destiny was to war even if they died in it and they came prepared. Alpha Callum stood at the crest of the hill. His golden yellow eyes burned with the fury of a leader who would not see his people fall. Beside him, his lead warrior, Seth, stood just as steadfast. A battle-hardened wolf with scars etched into his skin as memories of conquered wars past. "The Twilight zone will come for us soon," Callum growled, his voice firm and echoing loudly with confidence . "They think we’re weak. They think we stand no chance against them." His gaze swept over his warriors.“But tonight, just like other war, we do not run! We do not quit! We do not fear! Tonight, we remind them why they fear us." Seth unsheathed his sword, and raised it above his head. His face knotted

    SCARLETTThat same night. 3:30am. “Scarlett, please relax and take care of yourself. You’ll see Callum in the morning. He’s fine. What reason do I have to lie to you!” Annabeth said to me as she tried to make me lie on my bed. She pushed a tray of some pills closer to me and a glass of water.“You‘ve just had your first Shift and had to even fight an intense battle immediately, please don’t ignore the needs of you body. I know you’re sore!” She said trying to convince me. I looked up at her and slowly shook my head. “How do you expect me to lie and sleep in peace knowing condition that he’s in!” I muttered my voice shaking. She slowly stepped forward and wrapped her hands around me in a hug.“I understand. You’ve done well and I’m very proud of you. We all are” she whispered patting my hair. She sighed resignatedly.“Fine, I’ll take you to him, but you have to take this drugs first and wait for me while I get prepared,” she said I nodded slowly and gently looked up at her.“Thank y

    SCARLETTFLASHBACK. THE NIGHT OF THE FULL MOONI stood by the railings in the veranda staring at the Full moon. The cold air hit my skin but I couldn’t be bothered by it. Callum and his warriors left a few hours ago and I just felt restless about the whole arrangement. But there was nothing I could actually do, I can’t possibly be there on the battle field, as an almost human, that would be easy prey for Twilight. Plus they already pronounced me dead, I shouldn’t be doing anything to make my mother back on my tail. “Luna,” I heard softly behind me. I flinched lightly at the suddenness of her voice and slowly turned to her. She had a gift box with a ribbon perched on top, she gently stretched it out to me. “This came in for you,” she muttered respectfully, my brows narrowed as I took the box from her and placed it on a table in the veranda.“Just now?” I asked and she nodded affirmatively. “Did it say who it came from?!” I asked staring weirdly at the box and she shook her head

    SCARLETTThree days Later, 9:00am. “My Queen!”“Are you not done yet!” Callum yelled out from the bed room. I turned off the running tap as I slowly stepped out of the bathroom. “Relax. Don’t you know a Queen has to take her time?” I muttered and turned towards the walk in closet. Callum got discharged yesterday, before he even got discharged, he instructed Nolan to monitor the pack house workers to move every of my things into his room. “We’ll use my private jet,” he said as I took out a dress and walked back to take my seat in front of the dressing mirror and began to apply cream on my body, immediately I was done I began to put on some light makeup.“Since when did you get one?” I asked with furrowed brows looking at him through the mirror. “I had to make preparations for it. Going there by road is a two days journey. I don’t want to stress my Queen,” he said. I chuckled lightly shaking my head as him as I began to put on my underwear.“Fair enough, help me with my zipper pleas

    CALLUMStill at Howling Pines Alliance. That night. 9:30pm. “A wraithwolf is not a predator by choice but a predator by necessity. It is often tormented by its inability to fully become a wolf,” “They barely sleep, because when they do, their human soul becomes trapped by the wolf they failed to turn into. They can still think like human, giving them ability to dive into ruthless rage. They are stronger than an average wolf, especially with a lot of training. They have an insatiable hunger for flesh and blood, which makes them end up eating their prey”“Instead of a wolf howl. Wraithwolfs emits a haunting wail that paralyzes its prey with fear immediately. Their wails usually signify pain and extreme rage,”“They’d usually shift from their human nature into something that’s not a wolf but far more twisted and obscene, since they used all manipulative means possible to become a wolf, they are immortal and trapped in this horrifying forms for as long as they live” Scarlett read ou

    SCARLETT “Scarlett!” I heard Callum’s voice as soon as I walked into the Packhouse and my heart unintentionally skipped a beat. I paused in my tracks as he made his way towards me, grabbed me by my shoulders lightly and began to look me over. My eyes followed his hands in confusion as he looked through my body as if checking for injuries. “Are you okay?”“Did anybody try to hurt you? Did anybody approach you today or anything?!” He asked all in one breath, I grabbed his hands almost immediately to make him stop. “Honey! I’m okay, what’s going on?!” I asked. He exhaled deeply and shook his head slowly. “Nothing, I just thought something bad had probably happened to you,” he mumbled, I slowly took my lower lips into my mouth and shook my head slowly. “I’m okay,” I said to him and he nodded slowly. “Where did you go?!” He finally asked. His question caught me off guard almost immediately like I didn’t see it coming. I raised my brows and pressed my lips against each other.“Hmm?”

    CALLUM FEW MINUTES LATER “Seth, lead a portion of the warriors and go this way. Make sure you cover the entire surroundings,”“Nolan and I will lead the rest inside the building,” I ordered as soon as we arrived at the six-story abandoned building. “Yes, sir!” Seth howled, nodding firmly with a small bow. Without wasting any more time, Seth and his group moved away to cover the entire surrounding, while my group proceeded into the building. “Let’s split up so we can cover this place quickly. We mustn’t give anyone a chance to escape!” “If you find anything, even the littlest unusual thing, communicate with the rest of us! Everyone should put down the walls of their mind link! I don’t want any excuses!” I briefed them hurriedly, and the moment I was done, we all turned in different directions in the building. I moved stealthily through the dark hallways, lit up by a small torch in my hand. My senses on high alert as I advanced in my search. The scent of dust, mold, and stal

    SCARLETT 10: 30pm “Woah! This is crazy!” I whisper yelled with my eyes wide open as I scrolled through my laptop. My phone was beside me on the table connected to my earbuds as I checked the file Annabeth sent to me on my laptop. “Scarlett, Crazy is an understatement!” “The whole time, the account we’ve been tracking is a fake account? It was created in Kael’s name but it wasn’t his,” she said, I exhaled deeply and shook my head slowly. “Do you think Kian did this?!” I asked reducing my voice lower than a whisper, she exhaled at the other end of the phone, I slowly turned to my phone and picked it up. “At this point Scarlett, I’m very suspicious of him,” she said. I dipped my hands into my hair and moved it backwards as I slowly leaned into the chair I was sitting on by the pool.“Is there a way we can confirm all this once and for all? And find out if he’s behind this or not and find who is actually behind this,” I said to her. “There’s only one thing we can do. We need ac

    LATER THAT DAY CALLUM “I found a digital contract with your parent and Cora, it was clearly a rip off but your parents still signed it. It’s either she had something on them or they were just plainly oblivious of the whole arrangement, which I clearly doubt the former,” Nolan said to me as he walked into my office, took his seat across from me on the table and stretched out his tablet to me. “Where did you find this?!” I asked him as I gently took his tablet from him and looked through it. “Yeah, I was going to tell you, I found this safe in your father’s previous office and it contained a flashdrive, unfortunately this was the only document in the drive,” he said. I sighed and slowly reclined in my chair, “Scarlett keeps saying I should leave everything concerning Cora to her and focus on apprehending Kayden, but the truth is I think she’s starting to take on more than she can bear,” I said to him. “Well I think if we hand over all we’re able to find against Cora to her, it’ll

    SCARLETT Next Day. 10:00am.A small knock came on my door, I slowly looked up at it and got up to my feet, Callum left for the office few hours ago. I adjusted my knee lenght floral dress and asked whoever was at the door to come in. The door slowly went open, Kaitlyn poked her head in a little bit before walking in fully.“Luna, I’m so sorry. I did everything to wash it but the stain just isn’t coming off,” She said. I sighed and rolled my eyes to the back of my head.“Kaitlyn, I already told you this before, forget about it, just dispose it, it’s not that big of a deal,” I said to her, she bit on her lower lips and bowed slightly. “I’m sorry, really,” she whispered.“Stop being dramatic Kaitlyn,” I said to her as I slowly picked up my bag on the bed and looked up at her.“It’s fine, I was just about to step out. Also, when I get back, I’ll like to have just meat, and make sure it’s well done,” I said to her, she nodded immediately in response. I grabbed the door knob and walked

    SCARLETT Later that night …“Since I don’t have anything important doing, I’ll be visiting the orphanage often, Annabeth would join me whenever she’s chanced,” I said to Callum as I looked up to look at him through the mirror. I was seated in front of the dressing mirror applying face moisturizer.“Are you sure that’s convenient for you?!” He asked, I moved my head backwards almost immediately and I finally turned around to face him.“Convenient for me?! That’s my job! I should be doing it,”“Besides you guys are so busy looking for Kayden, I should be able to put things in order at the orphanage so this doesn’t happen again,” I said to him and he nodded slowly, turning his gaze back to the tablet he was working on. “Any progress though?!” I asked and he shook his head slowly.“No at all, just that Kayden apparently had the same pair of shoes as Kian,” he said, I slowly took my lips into my mouth and nodded slowly.“Any efforts on getting the lost footage files?!” I asked and he s

    MEANWHILE TWILIGHT ZONE ALEX “Are you really going to behave like you didn’t stand there and let Scarlett beat me up?!” Alyssa said to me as soon as we walked in and she slammed the door shut heavily behind herself. I slowly turned to her, she had an irritated scowl on her face with her hand gripping her waist firmly. I rolled my eyes to the back of my head with a small sigh as I turned and walked further into the living room. “Did you just ignore me?!” She snorted angrily as she stomped towards me.“She asked you to stay back and you did?! Since when did you start listening to people much less Scarlett?!” She snorted,“Have you fallen in love with her?!” She asked, stepping even closer to me. I scoffed and shook my head at her.“I think the question should be, have you fallen in love with me?!” I queried raising my brows at her. “Our relationship is purely contractual and open, you and your mother needs me in your lives just as much as I need you both in mine, so don’t go aro

    SCARLETT “Kian?!” I slowly unlocked the driver seat, pushed the door open and slowly stepped out. His eyes followed my movement and slowly landed on my face as soon as I stepped out fully and slammed the door shut. I saw the corner of his eyes twitch and his lips slowly stretched into a smirk that wiped off immediately, almost as if I was hallucinating and he didn’t smirk. “Scarlett?!” He whispered as he slowly dropped his hands, removing the gun from my face. I slowly stepped away from the car and walked towards him. “W-what a-are you doing?” I asked in a stutter, my voice barely above a whisper. His eyes slowly left my face and landed on my car.“I-I - must have made a mistake,” he muttered as he slowly returned the gun to his back pocket, he dipped his hands into his side pocket and took out a definely cut peice of paper.“Apparently, Kayden’s number plate and yours are similar, just the last two digits are different, I was so desperate to find him, I didn’t realize it wasn’t

    SCARLETT Next Morning, 8:20am “Scarlett!” Myla exclaimed lowly as soon as she stepped out of the kitchen in her apartment and saw me walking inside. “You didn’t have to come here, I don’t want your mother to be suspicious at all,” she said wiping her hands with the back of her dress. “It’s fine, I’m leaving already,” “I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to listen to the meeting with Arthur yesterday, what did they talk about?” I asked. She exhaled deeply and slowly folded her hands across her chest. “Alyssa and Alex will get married still. Something about Veto power, the Alpha gets what the Alpha wants,” she said her face downcast with a small sigh. “I thought this would be the way to finally show everyone who they really are,”“But guess who turned the whole thing around, all under the disguise of being in love, what nonsense love!” She snorted as she slowly folded her hands under her burst. I reached forward and gently placed my hands in her shoulders.“It’s fine, they’d fall into your
