When I woke up again, I saw that I wasn’t in my own room, which was by Layla’s, as I remembered. I looked around the large room.Dark green with intricate line-work that formed a pattern in gold as an accent wall, the rest were rich dark wood walls. I sat up in bed. Scanning over the room to see if anyone was there, but soon realized I was alone. I then got up from bed and went to the door. I slid the door open and was met with long empty halls. I knew this decor. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn’t still in that weird dream.Suddenly, I heard something drop on the floor. My eyes shot open as I got a fright at the sudden sound. That’s when my eyes met the gaze of the most handsome man I had ever met. “Scarlet” he whispered in relief.Unknown:“See, I knew she was strong Astraeus. You may have doubted her strength, but I know my daughter. Let’s just hope you know your son well enough. This bond is detrimental.”“At least my son didn’t choose a different mate and tie them to him.
"Bang"The door echoed through the room vibrating on each wall .I was sitting on the bed rethinking everything that had happened moments ago. I was totally taken aback by his question.Did he think of me as that type of person? I sat there wondering and recalling every moment for at least half an hour. The door slid open slowly and i was expecting Lucian to walk in and we could fix whatever had just happened. I was disappointed to see Layla walking through the room door. The moment her eyes fell on me she ran over and hugged me so tight I thought my breath was being squished out of every pore I had on my body. “You, better not try dying on me again”“well if u continue to squish me like this, u might be beating me to it”When she let go at my words I took a deep breath of air.“Good you deserve it for making my heart sink in to my ass thinking I lost you forever” She spat glaring at me. “You know at one point you didn’t even breathe and I really thought I lost you.” She whimpered a
Fear struck in their eyes and they looked at each other before they regained themselves. “Sweatheart” Jade began. I held my hand up for her to stop speaking.“If you are going to try and convince me that there is nothing to know about my parents, we might as well end the meeting right here.”I guess Jade didn’t like being cut off because she glared daggers at me. “Scarlet I understand what my son has done to you is unforgivable but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t know your place” Alpha Caleb said sternly. It kind of annoyed me, this whole position and knowing your place kind of thing. Especially when directed towards me.“How should I know my place, Alpha Caleb?” I asked sarcastically.“Scarlet. You are part of the beta family but hold no rank that is crucial for the pack or any other. You are no longer a future Luna, so stop behaving like one.” I laughed at his reply. They both stared in shock at me. “Is she losing her mind?” Jade whispered into her mate’s ear.“No jade. You gu
Scarlet:After the meeting, my guard made sure I found my way up to Lucian's home. He hadn’t said anything to me and, in all honesty, I was too irritated about having a babysitter to make conversation. When I got to the room that I was residing in for the time being, I flopped down onto the bed. I started crying uncontrollably. My whole existence has been a lie. My whole identity isn’t my own and I still don’t know who my real parents are. What my real identity is “Scarlet”, I heard a whisper in the room and recognized the voice immediately. I sat up with a teary face to search the room.When my eyes landed on the open door revealing Lucian, I wiped away my tears, trying to appear strong and cold. “Scarlet. Are you OK?”Those words slipping from his mouth made me crack.“Yeah” I sobbed.I was fully aware that now I didn’t seem OK because I was sobbing, but I couldn’t help myself.Suddenly, his arms wrapped around my waist, he pulled me into his chest so tightly as if he was trying
Scarlet:“I’ve also been having these dreams scarlet” he said in a shaky voice. I was shocked that he had been vulnerable enough to share this with me. I hugged him and a warmness overflowed in me. I could feel his heart racing. His breathing shifted to a faster pace. I want him to be my true mate more now than I have ever wanted. Tears started streaming from my eyes again. I hated that I looked so weak in front of him. But him telling me this let me know I wasn't crazy. It made me feel closer to him. It was something we shared and no one else did. Something that made him mine.“Scarlet”, he said, but his tone of voice was letting me know I could talk to him if I needed to. It was caring and comforting. I looked into his eyes getting lost in the autumn forest they reminded me of.“Lucian. I want you to be my true mate.”Even though we fought and we barely knew each other, I knew he cared for me in his actions and I was craving what he was offering me. I know it was selfish, but I c
Me and Lucian sat at the breakfast bar with some muesli and having our salted caramel coffee in front of us. While he was digging into his food, I was just picking at it with my spoon. Wishing he was eating me out like he was eating his food. “You don’t like muesli?” He asked before taking a sip of his coffee and looking at me waiting for me to reply.“No it’s not that” I said. My whole body was going into withdrawal from Lucian's touch and yearned for it, making me sexually frustrated and totally addicted to him. He giggled before he nudged my shoulder. “Don’t worry, when we get started you’re going to beg me to stop” My whole body went stiff and my core went wet from his words, and a shiver of pleasure went down my spine.He smiled at my reaction before continuing with his food. When he spotted that I was still not eating, he took his spoon and scooped some of my muesli up.He then held the spoon in front of my mouth and I decided I would make use of this opportunity. I first like
The room was filled with silence and tension. Yet he still had that smug smile on his face. I wanted to rip it off his face with my claws. Rip him to shreds.“Lucian, I guess you’re wondering why I called a meeting with you?”He looked at me waiting for me to ask him, but I kept quiet and just glared at him. My gut was telling me it had something to do with Scarlet. “Just get to the point, Asher”. He giggled mischievously. Then he came to a holt and the room was quiet again. His demonic face was stern and unhinged.“Seems like patience isn’t one of your strong points…”“Not with you”. I chipped him in. “Lucian”“Seems like respect isn’t one of your strengths”. I chipped him in again. He glared at me. A glare so vicious it could make anyone tremble under his gaze.But a little pip squeak like his didn’t give me any chills. He was like a pebble in my shoe. An absolute annoyance, but one I could sort out in a way I see fit.“Alpha” he said in a strained voice, as if the word was burni
My heart sank deep into a hole swallowed by overwhelming sadness. I truly thought Lucian was the one. That he was my true mate. That he respected me. That he would never betray me.That he would be different from Asher. I ran out of the dressing room with the dress I still had on. I heard Layla running behind me asking me what was going on. I heard the store security alarm going off and the security guard saying I have to pay.I also heard Layla say to put it on her tab giving the guard her full name. I ran to the mall bathroom and curled up into a ball hoping that it would somehow protect me. I felt Layla’s Arms falling like a blanket over me pulling me into a hug. She didn’t ask any more questions and just comforted me and held me so softly. As if she feared that if she held too tight that I would shatter in her arms. I felt like I was going to no matter what. When I eventually had calmed down, I looked up at her. “I’m going to my parents' place for a while.” She hesitated fo
