“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. Not just do you want to say my sister is great in bed but also say tha
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
Through the ajar door I see Ash busy f***ng my sister. I wiped the tears from my eyes that were blurring my vision just to make sure I was seeing correctly when I looked again. I see it clearer than daylight. It was the alpha office and she was spread across the table on her stomach. Ash is pounding into her from the back, whispering my name. My sister spotted me and she looked me in the eye with a big smirk. “Oh ash” she moaned whilst looking at me with that filthy smirk. I was frozen in place.I took a deep breath to try and calm myself at the horrific sight that was playing before my eyes. I pulled my hands into a fist so hard I could feel the nails digging into my skin. A pain way smaller than my heart that is shattering to pieces in my chest. I could actually hear it draining out the noise that was coming from the room. I closed my eyes. “Scarlet” was all I heard in the distance…Asher:Since I found out about Red being a virgin, it’s become hard for me to keep up with the boun
When we turned into the driveway of the parkhouse at Silvermoon, it was a massive modern mansion that was so bright it seemed like it could compete with the moon tonight. I was frozen in the seat of the car with my eyes glued on the mansion that was before me. I hadn’t realized I was lying on the door whilst watching the piece of architectural masterpiece laying before me until the door opened and I fell out. “Ouch now your nose is broken too” Damien laughed at his own joke. He raised his hand out to me to help me up. “Thank you for reminding me”, I said, glaring at him.We entered the packhouse and I realized it was very quiet. Unlike what mine was back at home where it was noisy all throughout the night. “Wow, it's quiet”“I know Scarlet, it was weird for me the first time I came here too, but everyone here is very diligent and almost everyone here are perfectionists at what they do. It's what makes this pack so strong. With that said, everyone respects their resting time so they m
Scarlet:Day 4Today should’ve been the day of nerves and excitement and maybe even losing my v card. But instead it’s a day I feel more depressed since the night my heart was stolen by death itself. Tomorrow would’ve been my marking ceremony. A day that is like a wedding for normal humans. And here I am having cold feet days before the ceremony. I wanted to hate Ash for causing this pain in me, but it was impossible.So I decided to make my way outside of my room for once. Just to stuff my face and hope it fills the hole that has taken the place of my heart.While I was stuffing my face with whatever I could find in the kitchen, Damian, arguing with someone, filled the room and then it went silent again. I turned around to see a tall and gorgeous man.His sun-kissed blond hair fell in tousled waves, accentuating his ruggedly handsome features. His hazel eyes, reminiscent of golden autumn leaves. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit that was in beige color and a chocolate-brown tie
Scarlet:The loud growl jumped back and forth against the wall. The sound engulfed the house like a tsunami. “No, no, no, no” I whispered under my breath.“You’re not my mate, you can’t be, there is no way,” The handsomely gorgeous and breathtaking man that far away just moments ago was now standing in front of me making it evident that my senses were indeed not wrong.“Scarlet. , Im Lucian Silvermane” he said in a calm tone that was almost enough to calm my confused and chaotic brain.“Lucian, you aren’t my mate you can’t be my mate this is crazy and impossible and beyond reach and…" I said looking Lucian in the eyes before turning my gaze to Damian. “ Damian if this is some kind of sick joke please stop” He lifted his hands up on either side of his head with his palms showing to me.“Scar I wish it was as simple as that but unfortunately this isn’t my joke. Maybe it’s the moon goddesses”. I glared at him and he just turned away and walked off. “I think you guys need to talk alone”
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
18 years later:We danced away under the moonlight after getting away from all the drama, tears and hormones that seemed to flood the pack hall.It was mating ball season again and honestly it was overwhelming each year.So Lucian and I had our own little tradition to escape all the chaos and just enjoy ourselves under the moonlight dancing away all the worries that might have crowded up leading to this massive event. This year had been more stressful than all the years before since we were hosting the mate ball.It was allot of planning and a lot of irritating young she wolves that wanted to convince me about being my sons mate and if not that they would make the perfect Luna for the pack.That they would be the best option. But what had worried me most was the fear of my son experiencing the same thing I experienced the day I thought I met my mate“As per usual the two live birds have sneaked away from the party” I heard Riley’s voice in from behind me. “You’d thought that the hos
− 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. And you turned out to be a great and strong young Luna.When you lay on your death bed of this life I will come fetch you and your mate to take up your place as the rulers of mount Olympus until Xander breathes his last breath. Until then I will keep your seat nice and warm” She said in a caring tone before kis
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
Scarlet:I laid in the middle of a pool filled with dark liquid. 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. My emotions where conflicting
