Scarlet POV
It is finally the day of the ball. We have been decorating for hours and I am happy to say that I am actually getting pretty excited about it. There is a large white party tent with walls set up in the backyard. I personally made mason jar chandeliers with black flowers and greenery hanging off them. They are hung at each high point in the tent with strings of yellow light bulbs leading off them to the edge of the tent. Off the string of lights, I have more greenery and black hanging flowers peeking through with gold feathers thrown in randomly. The live band is setting up in the far corner and I decided to have the event catered. There will be a happy hour before dinner is served at 5pm with dinner at 6pm. For those who come early. Dinner is mainly finger foods with standing tables. Spandex tablecloths are tightly fitted on each table in black of color with gold sparkles random
Thank you all for reading! Please leave a gem and help me out!
Jaxson POV Mason and I got to the ball early as I wanted to watch everyone come in. We were standing towards the middle by the dance floor by the wall. This place looked perfect. I really like the contrast between the colors and everything looks elegant. Whoever designed this has a knack for this sort of thing. Usually, Luna does this kind of thing so maybe she did it. I had gotten my usual whiskey on ice and Mason had the same. We sipped on it as we watched the guest enter. There were a few ladies that came in alone that Mason made a few comments about. They all looked nice but I was getting anxious to see Scarlet. To finally see her in person again would confirm everything. Officially tell me if she was the one in the photograph. A lot was riding on this. “You need to loosen up!” Maso
Scarlet POV This can’t be happening! I have a mate! But this isn’t like what I was expecting. He isn’t trying to kiss me or whisk me away. Does he not want me? I finally sat down and studied him. He was sitting there, so relaxed just watching me. He had one arm draped over the back of the seat and the other holding his own whiskey. His glass was half full with little beads dripping on his pants. It took everything I had to not look. My sex god is my mate! I got excited for a minute thinking I would finally get to know if my fantasies will come true but he is acting like he doesn’t want me. Would he rather fuck random people? Will he reject me? “Why are you so…so relaxed right now?” I asked. His eyes narrowed. I was finally relaxed enough that I could catch glimmers of his emotions through the bond. He was feeling a little of everything. Mainly indecisiveness, with hints of sexual feelings and anger. “Not everyone wears their emotions on their sleeves, doll.”
Jaxson POV What. The. Fuck…. What did I just do? I came this close from sticking my dick in her and fucked her till I marked her. I stormed next door to Mason’s bedroom. I didn’t even knock before I came barging in. He was laying in bed watching t.v. “I wasn’t expecting to see you!” he smirked at me. “Dude! The fuck was I thinking? I can’t mate Scarlet!” I said, halfway to losing my shit. “You didn’t mark her?” he asked shocked. Mason got out of bed and sat on the couch as I poured us a drink. “NO! I was so close though. My wolf wanted so badly. Every fiber of my being called me to mark her and mate her. I can’t do that to her. I interrogated her but she didn't know I was hired to kill her!” I
Scarlet POV It has been a whole week since I got shot and I was mostly healed. Maverick put up one hell of a fight to get me to stay at the pack and “around safety”. If I am going to get killed, I would rather him come find me and do it himself then act scared. Looking at myself in the mirror, I was dressed very business sexyish. I had on a black A-lined shirt and a white silk shirt. Kind of my go too look but I felt confident and sexy in it. I pulled my hair back into a low ponytail and kept my makeup light. Tonight was a press release of our new line of jewelry and items. I have been working on this line for months and it is set to launch tomorrow. Only VIP clients get access to them tonight as a “thank you” or sorts. We have always been looking into expansion and more world wide stores. I am kind of iffy on that but it might be good for us. More avai
Jaxson POV Tonight has been a headache after headache. First the waiter dropped food, then the shipment arrived late. I had to kick a guy out because he was drunk! I haven’t been to the restaurant all week, as I have been catching up with business at my pack so now I have a stack of papers to sign and things to order. I really need to delegate these items… Knock knock! I heard a soft knocking at the door. “Come in,” I said tiredly. Jessy walked in with a stack of papers. “Excuse me, sir but here is more paperwork that needs your signature.” She said before she laid another large pile of papers in front of me. “What is all this?” I said annoyed. I hate being behind on paperwork! “I have decided our method in o
Scarlet POV I was fuming mad. The nerve of this guy to think he can toy with me! I had grabbed my clothes and went to the bathroom to change. I didn’t have anything too personal he could find here so I wasn’t worried about him snooping. He yelled something at me but I chose to ignore him and finish my business. I hate that I am so attracted to him. My sexy god is a huge douche. Hanging up my dress on the hanger, I got into some leggings and a crop top. So much more comfortable! Taking my hair out, and letting it fall naturally with some beachy waves. Not that I cared how I looked right now but maybe if he finds me unattractive he will just end it. Deciding I couldn’t stall anymore, I walked out to see him standing at my desk, looking at my drawings. “What did you say?” I faked not being able to hear him. His face told me he didn’t believe me. “Did you draw these?” He asked again, holding up a couple of my new ideas. “Yeah, they are
Jaxson POV I still didn’t trust that Scarlet not only lived around here but is going to go home and stay home. That girl is like begging to be killed! I parked my car and got out. Getting undressed quickly, I decided changing into my wolf would get me there faster. I shifted into an enormous pure black wolf with red eyes. Quickly I ran, following the sounds of the 4-wheeler. Since my wolf is pretty fast, I caught up to her quickly. Staying far enough behind, I saw her go down into the mountain side. She stopped right by what looked like a large rock with moss all over it. If it wasn’t for the light I saw shining out from under it, I would have never guessed this was her house. I was looking down at her and if I didn’t see her go into the house and hear the click of the door, I would have sworn that it was just a rock. We aren't even that far from my house. I am not surprised I never noticed this as she built this perfectly away from prying eyes. I doubt anyone
Scarlet POV The drive to his pack was complete silence. Neither of us spoke and neither of us was happy about the living arrangements. I would rather annoy him than bring danger to Brittany and the new baby. If anything happened to them, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself. The sexual tension is growing and I could feel every fiber of my soul. That one night wasn’t enough. I needed to feel his dick in me. The overwhelming urge to mark him is still there. I had to clench my fist into balls to keep them from reaching themselves over and touching his skin. I could tell he was fighting it too through what little bit of emotions we could share through the bond. Just sitting in his car, his smell leaking from every surface and invading my nose was intoxicating. More than once I had to deter my brain so I didn’t smell his car up with the
