Those icy blue eyes just stare into my soul, inviting me to intertwine with his. I shook my head at the thought “So do you forgive me?”, were the words that brought me back to reality

I’m still supposed to be angry with him, but this mate bond is making it hard for me to think straight.

“On one condition,”

I suddenly said, surprising myself with the words that came out of my mouth. “Sure, what’s the condition?” he said, smirking at his victory of winning over my forgiveness making me want to make this so much harder on him.

“Well for starters you stay far away from my sister. Whatever the two of you had is over with. I don’t share”.

He smirked at my words, making me all the more irritated. The moment he wanted to open his mouth and say something

I interrupted him. “Also, you have to go down on your knees and say you’re sorry. I mean how else would I know for a fact it is a sincere apology?”

I smirked as those words left my mouth and his vanished with no trace on his face.

    “Scarlet, are you OK?” The words ripped me from my thoughts. Ones which were probably over reacting.I looked around the room to try and decipher who it was that asked me.From the look on both Ash and his father's faces, I knew it wasn’t them that had asked me.I turned my head to Ashes mom. And saw her face filled with worry.“I’m fine Miss Stormclaw. I just need some fresh air. Do you mind?” I asked, pointing in the direction of the balcony.“Sure”. I didn’t hesitate after those words and made my way to the balcony.“But please call me Jade”. I heard her say behind me but I didn’t turn around. I just made my way to the balcony while giving her a thumbs up in the process.When I got to the balcony, I just let out a long breath and hung over the balcony trying to get my senses back.I barely heard a word after Alpha Caleb mentioned the marking ceremony.Suddenly, I felt someone rub my back and felt the sparks going down my spine. It was Ash.“What’s wrong Red?” He looked at me with t

    Scarlet:The drive to Asher’s place was quiet. Not a word was said, not even the sound of the radio. Usually I like the silence but this … is just awkward. The engine was more talkative than Ash at this point in time and it was weird because he usually likes the sound of his own voice. When he eventually stopped the car, he climbed out of the car and made his way to the large building's entrance.When I got out, I tried to see the top of the large building but it was like it never ended. When I looked back toward the entrance again, I got a fright when I saw Ash was out of my sight. I quickly ran into the entrance and was once again stopped in my tracks to take in the spectacular interior. The entrance hall was like I had gone back in time and entered the palace in the baroque era.Gold and marble lined every corner of the hall and reception and it was luxury at its best. Suddenly, someone grabbed my hand and dragged me away from the hall. “Why do you have to move at the speed of a

    “Listen Scarlet, you can do this. Don’t let him over-power you in any way ”, I told myself whilst looking in the mirror. When I eventually opened the door to step out, hunger hit me like a truck. In more ways than one. My favorite pizza and my favorite man. One had toppings and one was missing a top. It was like he was trying to seduce me and he was winning this game effortlessly. He had a pair of grey sweatpants and it was like somehow he was even hotter. Luckily, a temporary fix was in place for me. My hunger for food right now is way greater than my hunger for him. I stormed past him and grabbed the pizza and started to chow down like a hungry beast. When I suddenly stopped at the feeling of someone staring at me, I realized my mate was staring at me in absolute shock.“The pizza was for both of us”, I looked down again and saw one slice left. I held the box toward him.“No, it's fine. You can have that. I’ll just have the dessert”He said to me with that stupid grin dancing on

    I woke up to the smell of pancakes filling my room. I’m not even sure when I eventually fell asleep but I did. I grabbed my phone to see what the time was. It was eight in the morning. I threw my phone on the bed and pulled the pillow over my head in hopes of falling asleep again, but then I heard a soft knock on the door. “Red?” I was kind of surprised at the softness in Ash’s voice. “Yes” I said, hoping he would make as if nothing had happened last night because I so wished it didn’t. “Can we talk? I made pancakes as a peace offering”. I grabbed the pillow hoping it would muffle my screams.I don’t think I am ready to face the embarrassment but those pancakes do smell good. “Please”, I heard him plead from the door. We both knew he could rip that door off its hinges if he wanted to, but out of respect, he didn’t. I walked up to the door and waited for a second before I unlocked.“I’ll come out if I am not the breakfast”, I said to him to try and make the tension between us less

    Asher left a while back after I stomped into my room again and shut the door. He had slammed the apartment door on his way out, making it clear he was unhappy and leaving.When that sound shivered through the halls of the apartment and filled my ears. Agony filled my stomach and made its way to my heart. Pounding through its door and breaking it away. I was missing him even though he had only been gone a few seconds and it was hurting me. I laid in bed not crying but just staring out the window at the sky wishing I knew what to do next. Wishing that he wasn’t my mate.Wishing I had a different opportunity. A second chance.A new start.Suddenly, a sound from the door filled the apartment again, but this time it wasn’t a door being banged, not the door moving in any direction at all. It was a knock. I sniffed the air to try and smell their scent. When I did, I rushed to the door and ripped it open. My mom’s eyes widened at the sight of me. I bashed my body into hers, just throwing h

    “Asher speaking…”My heart pumped at the sound of his voice and I was taken aback, rethinking everything I had done.Am I doing the right thing? Will he think I’m cheesy? Will he laugh at my gesture to make amends?“Who is this?”there it struck me. Right in the gut. He never had my number because we never spoke over the phone. I got his number from Layla a year ago and he never knew.“S…Scarlet” I answered hesitantly. “Red” I heard him grinning through the phone in the way he had said my nickname. “You miss me already”. What he said was true. I was missing him terribly. “No, I just wanted to find out when you would be back” “When you want me to Red. Do you want me home?” his tone of voice sent shivers down my spine. It was so gruff and sexy that if he was here it would be hard for me to keep my hands to myself.“Yes”,Just glided out my mouth, revealing my true thoughts before I even realized it. “I mean yes I don’t want you to” I said quickly, trying to hide my desperation for

    “Scarlet look at me” I hear him command me but luckily for me that doesn’t work with me. “Ash, if we are going to do this you will have to treat me as your equal”His eyes was so shocked, as if, though I had stabbed him in the back. “Scarlet that we… can work on later” He said regaining his sanity before he continued. “But as for Saige she was just a fun time that’s it, you are my mate Scarlet you will always be in a category of your own that no one else can be in” “So you admit she was good” I glared at him studying his every move and anticipating his next comment.“Damn Scarlet what do you want me to do go back in time and somehow convince myself not to F*ck Saige?” “Yes” I said as his whole body seemed to cave in on itself with a sigh that left him. “Scarlet I can’t do that and we both know that” “well then don’t give me an offer that you can’t hold up”.“Scarlet do you know what sarcasm is” “Of course I do.

    After grabbing a shower, I got dressed in some of my own clothes. Luckily, my mom brought a duffle bag with her yesterday containing all my own clothes and fresh undies finally. I got dressed in black wide-legged pants with a stay groovy hippie-inspired shirt and paired with my all-too-trusted doc martins. I found them casual and overall comfortable. I then made my way to the best place in LA that I knew of for tonight’s dress.When I entered Fabuleux robes, a French designer loved by all of La for their unique designs, I knew I would not be disappointed until I was. All of their designs were so avant-garde and way outside of what I was looking for. Dare I say I would’ve loved something a bit more sexy than scary? When I eventually found a beautiful red dress that was calling my name from the moment I set my eyes on it. If a mate could be a dress, I’m sure I feel the mate bond.When I asked one of the girls for help she made her way towards me with an attitude filling her aura. “Can

    − I sat in my room staring at the crib where Xander laid fast asleep. I kept listening to his soft breathing just to make sure he is ok. I heard a sparkling sound and soon the moon goddess appeared next to his crib. Her face was filled with love and care.She put her hand on his cheek and a smile spread across his face. I guess he was dreaming about milk or cuddles since he didn’t know much else.“This is the future rules of mount Olympus and I think that’s you are the perfect mother to raise him. Cherish him. And love him.” She said in a whisper.She then walked over to me and cupped my cheek. “I am proud of you my child you have conquered what others would deem impossible.

    Days have passed after Riley’s initiation. She has thanked me more times than what was needed.I still felt a bit awkward as my memories drew back to the time when I wandered her mind. That door of intimacy that I could feel Lucian was a part of.I knew it was something of the past and wouldn’t blame him for what had happened but what would bother me was if he lied about it. He told me nothing ever happened between the two of them.I sat at in the pack cafeteria scanning over the large crowd of my pack members all sitting and chatting as they shove food down to their hungry stomachs.Others cheered as they knocked their beer cans onto one another in celebration.Then I spotted Riley sitting among a bunch of she wolfs al who were in awe of little dawn.Her beauty was definitely something to catch the eyes of all around even at such a young age.I then slowly moved my eyes over to my mate whom was sitting next to me drinking a glass of orange juice.When his eyes met mine he placed his

    “What was that all about” I heard that husky handsome voice ask beside my ear, making my legs wobble as his breath touched my neck.“Whatever do you mean Alpha” I said turning to face him keeping eye contact, showing no fear.I could see the lust swimming angrily within his eyes. He straightened out his posture and places his hands behind his back. “Out” he demanded with his alpha aura spreading across the room.Layla and Damian disappeared so quickly out of our sights and in a blink of an eye I heard the elevator doors open and close.A smile grin crept up onto Lucian’s lips. Plaguing them with all the dirty thoughts wondering within his mind as well as mine.He took a step closer to me and at this point I was looking up at him my chin almost touching his chest and my breath heavy just thinking about what may follow.The small distance between us was killing me. It was just enough for us to barely touch but not enough to ease the warmth that lingered between my legs.The warmth that

    It’s been days since I’ve gotten out of my own prison. It’s been both heartbreaking and warming at the same time.My mother hasn’t reached out to me yet and although my father has been coming around every day to check up on both me and his grandsons wellbeing my mother hasn’t come at all.My father kept saying that it’s not because she doesn’t love me or care for me but she is mourning.I knew he was right and honestly I loved her and understood where she was coming from. Losing your child at the hands of your other child is hard to wrap your mind around.My pack however congratulated me on defeating our enemy all by myself.I gained a lot of respect from all of the high ranking warriors of our pack including our gamma which in return made me proud of myself too.Although most of it was my wolf without her we would’ve probably still been stuck within a big mess.I blew over my steaming hot coffee looking out over the Los angles view from our living room.I sat snug in my mates lap lea

    Scarlet:“Scarlet” I heard my mom’s voice call out to me I lifted my head from my knees and scanned the waters that laid just below my toes. I didn’t see her at all so I just automatically assumed it was in my all in my head.I prepared myself for the next scene of her shouting and screaming at me for killing her only daughter and hating me for it. “Scarlet” I heard her voice once more call out to me. It was soft and gentle. A caring tone filled with worry.“Come back to me, my dear.”I looked down at the water before me and saw her worried face reflecting from it. Her eyes were sad and the bags under them seemed like the same endless darkness that plagued my heart. “It wasn’t your fault dear” Her voice cracked at the word fault. I could only think that she was recalling the moment she saw Saige dead in the woods. “Scarlet darling”My father stepped closer, placing his arm around my mother’s waist pulling her into his chest whilst she wept.A tear streamed down my cheek filled w

    Lucian:I stood in front of the door thinking everything over in my head wondering what to do in this situation.Maybe I should get help what if they refuse to help Scarlet. Have they already decided to abandon her?Maybe it’s too early… they are still mourning the death of one daughter I can’t just throw this news at them and expect them to take the news well or be efficient at bringing her back.Although in my opinion its way overdue she’s been away from me for far too long. Suddenly I felt a pat on my back and shot my head to see whomever it came from.An arrogant smile stared back at me his eyes icy blue eyes somehow felt warmer and then I realized his canines were back.The two empty spaces that were so prominent and a soothing sight to me had been filled up.A shiver went down my spine. Oh for goddess sake. You know what moon goddess you’ll owe me after I save your daughter and I think a break will be the least you could do.I sighed as the memories replayed in my mind.“Please

    I watched as my daughter single-handedly disarmed and dismembered the guards that were sent to attack her.Aiden became more furious as the number of guards went down. He started pushing guards out of his way.When he came face to face with Scarlet whose chest was moving up and down from her heavy breathing.They stared at one another and the hatred for each other rolled off their aura in waves. The tension was high.“I guess I’ve got to deal with the trash on my own” Aiden said and scarlet growled into his face with her canines inches from his nose.Aiden’s eyes grew green as he summoned vines from the ground tying off Scarlets feet.She tried to claw her way out but it was all in vain. I took a step forward and suddenly felt an hand grip my wrist.I tried to loosen myself from the iron grip but when I realized it wasn’t going to happen I turned to see Astraeus shaking his head.“This has to happen Selene you cannot intervene”“Astraeus she’s alone and within her late stages of pregn

I sat in the on a stone and looked over the dark waters trying to see something or anything a place to swim to.But instead I just saw the never ending dark liquid vanishing into more darkness. I sat on this rock looking at the name engraved on to it with quilt swallowing me up whole.“Saige”. It read in cursive. I kept remembering the heart wrenching howl of my mother when she realized Saige was dead.As well as the agony that fell among her face.I hated myself for doing that to her. Removing her first and only born daughter. I thought about myself and how I would’ve felt.I would’ve hated the person that took my son from me. And I could only assume that she felt the same.And honestly I don’t blame her. I felt guilt for placing her in that position not for killing Saige and not for protecting my unborn child.I was still sad about her death and I did love her even though I didn’t want to.
