Lucian:When Scarlet left warning me to deal with the Riley situation, I contacted her father immediately. I knew speaking to Riley would be nothing but a waste of time. I was sitting at my desk waiting for the time to pass. I kept clicking and unclicking the pen I held in my hand, watching the minutes on the clock tick by in a slow, unforgiving manner. A knock on my office door brought me back to reality and ripped me from the trance the clock had placed me in. “Come in” I said hastily. Damion stepped in, confused by my anxiousness. He had barely seen me like this, but scarlet was bringing out pieces of me that I didn’t know I had.“Alpha Kade is here” As soon as the words left his mouth, I shot out of my seat and out of my office door.“He’s not going anywhere” He said mocking my reaction. I looked over my shoulder, glaring at him, letting him know I was not in the mood.I swung open the door, revealing Alpha Kade smiling brightly. He was always a friendly person. He had black ha
I got into the shower and washed off all the stress that today had caused. I then got dressed in an emerald green slip dress that hugged my body slightly. It fell just above my knees. I pared it with a casual pair of black heels and only a set of dangly gold earing. My hair was moved to hang over my shoulder, leaving my neck bare.While I looked at myself in the mirror feeling like something was missing, Lucian walked into the room with a shirt revealing a little bit of his chest due to it not being buttoned up all the way.He had on a pair of grey trousers and hung his jacket over his arm that seemed to be in the same shade of grey. His hair was in his signature tousled look. He stood still looking at me before he smiled again.“You look gorgeous”, I heard him whisper. He walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He then laid his head over my shoulder and we looked at each other in the mirror. All of a sudden, nothing was missing anymore. “We look good together”. He
I could hear the elevator door open in between our heavy breathing. Lucian scooped me up without breaking the kiss and I wrapped my legs around his waist.He walked us to our room and threw me on the bed. As much as my lungs needed the air break, my body loathed the distance. I saw him rip his shirt, causing the buttons to fly across the room. Before I could take a deep breath, his lips were planted on mine. I started fiddling with his riper trying to free him, but I struggled and became frustrated. He grinned against my lips. “Patience princess”, he said, mocking me. I grabbed hold of his hips and pulled them into me, giving him a clear hint of what I wanted.It was like I had set something in motion for him. I grinned at his darkened eyes, knowing he was losing control just like I already had. He lifted himself off me and took a few steps back, causing my body to yearn for his. I got up and loosened my dress so that it dropped to the floor. His eyes somehow seemed to darken even
The long days and pleasure-filled nights went by in a flash. It was already time to start actively planning the last bit of details of the marking ceremony since it was only 4 days away. I was starting to get nervous as the ceremony was a big deal. It was like a wedding for us werewolves, but just so much more. A lot of lower rank wolves could just mark one another in the privacy of their own room and officially be together and some still decide to do a marking ceremony even after already marking one another. The marking ceremony was more of something for family and friends to join in on. I was starting to become insecure.Why hasn’t Lucian marked me yet? I mean a lot of people do that before their planned marking ceremony, so why couldn’t we?Was he uncertain of me?Just then Freya was walking past talking with an event planner. She looked over at me and walked over to me with a worried look masking her face. “Are you getting cold feet,” She asked in a worried tone.I shook my he
Lucian’s eyes shot open at my question before they dropped and sadness engulfed them. I placed my hand over his and he looked me straight in the eyes. Anger started to fill them paired with jealousy. “NO” He growled and I knew his wolf had started to front. I was well aware that this had to feel like a stab right in his heart, but I also knew that I could explain it to him. “Lucian. I’m not running away from you. I’m not leaving you. In fact, it’s the total opposite,” I said in the most honest and caring voice I could. “Then why do you want to see him.” His face turned to a totally disgusted face at the word “him” I giggled a little bit. I cupped his face and I just looked over his beautiful face.Each little patch of skin that covered him was beautifully perfect. From his lips to his hazel eyes and even his furrowed brows that had seemed to be knitting the blanket of insecurity that would soon wrap itself around his beautiful brain. I knew that I had completely and entirely fall
When I opened the door, I saw Asher lying on a hospital bed near the window. His eyes were shut and his arms were stretched over his chest as he hugged himself. He was in worse shape than Saige. His muscles had deteriorated, leaving him looking like a sack of skin filled with bones. His hair was long and almost reached his shoulders. It was freshly combed though. I then closed the door behind me and his eyes shot into my direction.They seemed to light up and a grin followed, showcasing the missing canines that he once tried to sink into me.“R…R…Red” He said, making me smile at the nickname he gave me when we were only kids. I then took slow light steps until I was standing next to his bed. “Asher” I greeted him. “I….I…knew you w…would c…come b…back t…to me” he stuttered but never broke eye contact. I shook my head at his words.The light that was evident in his eyes earlier seemed to vanish.“Asher, I didn’t come back to you.” He started searching the bed, panicking. When his han
The door barged open, followed by a scream. I shot out of bed ready to fight whatever might come my way. As my eyes still struggled to open, a bunch of different giggles bounced off the walls. When my eyes finally opened, I saw Layla Freya and my mom all standing at the entrance door. Laughing at me.“I bet this is comedy gold”, I said, before climbing back into bed. I threw a pillow over my head and the blankets over that, getting ready to fall back into dream land. Suddenly, the blanket was yanked off my body in one swift motion. I curled up into a ball, keeping my pillow over my head as an attempt to hide from both the sun and their voices. “Scarlet, it’s your mating ceremony today”, Layla said in a serious tone. I hopped out of bed again. How could I have forgotten?Today will be the biggest day of my life. I had a little happy shuffle and everyone giggled again. I glanced over at the bedside clock and saw that it was 6 am.My eyebrows rose and I shifted my questioning gaze bet
I stood at the all too familiar pack doors that closed off the view. I took a deep breath as the doors opened.A wild bouquet of flowers that evoked the rugged California landscape of the packs wildlife that had a mix of beautiful white flowers and dandelions. It matched so perfectly since all of this started with a wish. I no longer felt guilty about wishing Asher to be mine. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have run away and I wouldn’t have met Lucian. I shook my head, getting rid of the thoughts of what might have happened if things didn’t go like this. I then looked forward and saw a tunnel of silk leading the way whilst covering me from the eyes of my mate and the pack. I took one step forward and started walking.When I turned the corner, I was met with such beauty my eyes couldn’t believe it a white wisteria garland stood in front of me. I walked through and was met by those same flowers hanging from what seemed to be the air, causing a mystical and magical feeling.When my eyes met
