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
I woke up to my mom dragging her fingers across my hair and gripping the points before she twirled them around her finger. “Oh scarlet”, She said in a soft whisper with her voice betraying her and cracking under the pressure of speaking.“Mom?” I looked at her worried. She barely cried in front of me and always appeared strong and put together. Her tears dropped on my shoulder. It had confirmed my suspicions.I sat up in my bed and saw it was still dark outside. I wrapped my arms around my mom and felt her cries jerking through her body. “I’m sorry Scarlet.” She cried out and pulled me into a hug so tight my eyes felt as if they would pop out of my head from the pressure. “For what?”. She pushed me away placing her hands on either side of my shoulders, squeezing and massaging them.“Your father…. is waiting…..um… downstairs. We …have to ….talk” she said, struggling to say each word. I couldn’t pressure her into telling me more because I felt too bad and guilty for her being like th
“Scarlet, Scarlet wake up”. I heard a voice within the darkness. It was that mysterious lady again. My eyes shot open. I was breathing with difficulty and still seeing black except for the little pieces of light peeking through the threads of the cloth that covered my face.When I tried to lift my hand to remove the cloth, I felt my hand being restricted. My wrists were tied and burning, letting me know whatever I was tied with had been laced with wolf's bane.I heard a bit of mumbling but couldn’t make out what was going on. I tried to concentrate on anything my senses could recognize. I knew I was lying down on what seemed to be a bed. I could hear cars moving, so I knew I wasn’t too far from civilization. I could also smell a scent I had recognized and my eyes widened and panic filled every inch of my being.It was Asher. I tried to get myself loose and only ended up burning my wrists and ankles with a wolf's bane that had covered whatever was tying me down. The sound of a doo
Lucian:“Where is she” I growled at Scarlets father and mother. I had decided to come and figure out what had upset her so much that she had felt the need to run away. It didn’t make sense that she would be upset because of the meeting I had had with Asher, because why would she then run right into his territory?She confused and frustrated me so much. When I arrived, her parents informed me that she want there. “I dont know Saige said she had gone back to Silvermoon.” Her father pleaded in fear. I was well aware of my effect on wolves with a lower ranking. I could be the bad guy if I needed to be. I hated that I had met her parents like this. I wished it could’ve been in better circumstances.“Please Alpha Lucian, we don’t mean to upset you.” “Then make it up to me by bringing my mate to me.” Their eyes went wide and I realized they hadn’t known.She was all feisty and proud to be my mate in front of Asher’s parents, but here she was hiding it from her own. Was she ashamed of me
