Scarlet:When Lucian came and sat beside me and handed me my cup, our hands touched ever so slightly but the lightning that shot through me was just as powerful as always. This time it brought a shiver to my skin. He smirked at the reaction my body had to his touch.“Are you cold?” he mocked me and I just glared at him. He then leaned in closer to me. “You know your words and your glare tells me a different story from your eyes and your body.” He whispered into my ear, making my body shiver as his breath touched my neck. He sat back in his seat with a smug smirk.“Lover girl… play the movie” Layla shouted from the back. I then pressed play.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t watch the movie but instead kept looking at the handsome man sitting next to me. My eyes were glued to him while his were glued to the massive screen. “Are you enjoying the movie?” He asked mockingly, turning his gaze to me once more. We held eye contact for a while and I bit my lip instinctively.Suddenly
Lucian:The last thing I saw was Scarlet's soft smile before the elevator doors separated us. A big smile crept up my face at the thought of finally finding my mate. I felt warm and complete. I felt happier than I have felt in years. I finally felt alive. When the elevator doors opened again, I was greeted by two flushed faces. I just started laughing uncontrollably. It was hilarious that Scarlet wanted Layla and Damien to come with an assurance that no “funny business” would happen and they were the ones who couldn’t behave themselves. I walked out of the elevator as they entered it. As the elevator door closed again, I could see their faces becoming redder.When I got to my room and switched the bedroom light on, a sudden longingness dawned on me.As happy as I was to finally find her. I still don’t have her as mine. I went and took a cold shower that I was in desperate need of. Her moan replayed itself in my head over and over. It was a form of torture. When I got out of the sho
Lucian:Just outside Lunar pack bordersIt was a dark, moonless night. A perfect night for an attack. And as much as I would love to slaughter every wolf in this pack, I can’t. I can’t risk Scarlet's life. So I spent 3 days working on a plan with Layla and Damian. Here I was executing it by myself. I chose to work alone. It allows me to not have any lose ends. I slashed the power box to the pack house and sneaked my way past their boarders. I then made my way directly to the Alpha office.Thanks to Layla being from this pack, she let me know the whole layout of lunar territory. When I got into the office, I scoffed at the smell that lingered in the air.The air was thick with sex. Disgusting, even after he knew what he had done he could still get a hard on. I waited a bit before Asher came storming in.Thinking this was an attack on the pack. Luckily for him it isn’t.He stopped in his tracks at the sight of me.Since we are werewolves, we can see each other clearly in the dark. He
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
