SCARLETTIzer drove the car to the outskirts of the city. Surprisingly, there was a whole ass beach out there and I knew nothing about it.I took in the quiet area at night. The sound of waves hitting the shore and washing back was soothing. But that was not the object of my focus.I had to pay attention to the small wooden structure in the distance. A pier, and a small warehouse. Izer stopped the car and turned off the engine. His eyes were watching the silent place just like me. The scene looked like a part of a horror movie. Dark sea, an eerie beach, and a haunted structure with an entity lurking behind the walls somewhere. It was giving me creeps.“ Come on. ” Izer said, getting out of the car.I opened the door. He was by my side, grabbing my waist, pulling me up, and then placing me down on the ground in a single moment. “ What is this place? ” I asked, balancing my weight on my feet.Izer intertwined our fingers. I glanced at our joined hands, a calm feeling overcoming my he
IZERThere were a terribly few things that made me restless in this shitty world. I didn’t imagine knowing about Scarlett’s birth mother would be one of them.But, it was.The truth that her mother was alive somewhere and was waiting for her made all my nerves spark to life. I wanted to twist Martha’s neck and kill her on the spot so she couldn’t reveal her location. I also wanted to pretend Darling and I never went to that warehouse but all this was beyond my control. If I didn’t want to make Scarlett hate me, I had to endure this restlessness.So, I had to leave Martha alive. Scarlett even made her promise that she would come to visit her when the new problem at the border would be sorted. It annoyed the fuck out of me but I kept my mouth shut. Maybe, I would go behind Scarlett’s back and get rid of this Demigoddesses because I didn’t want her to take my Darling away from me.If this was not enough, I had to leave Scarlett in the middle of nowhere so she could go with her own idea.
SCARLETT“ I will take care of any guard or warrior. You can go look for it, Luna. ” Dixon told me as we climbed the walls to Alpha King’s house. I was pretty shaken up after the little talk with Martha but not enough to realize this was my chance. Alpha King was out of his hiding spot, and I had no doubt he would leave the important things behind because he must be sure of himself when he attacked and he wouldn’t want the part of me to be close to me. He knew after all, that if it was near, I would sense it.The doubts all solidified when I sensed a strange tug on my heart. I looked at the huge mansion before me, and my eyes stilled on the window on the right side. That’s where Alpha King’s study was.It was so predictable.Dixon and I moved forward on the lawn, as he kept an eye on any approaching guard and I kept my eyes on the window excitedly.The screaming voice had gone silent inside my head, providing me with a clear headspace that I needed to get everything done. And the sce
SCARLETT There was no one behind—My thoughts all died when loud howls echoed behind me. My body begged to paralyze in fear of what was coming, but I kept running just like Dixon. I couldn’t let him down, couldn’t make him think I was an idiot who froze at the hint of threat.“ Don’t look back, Luna. Keep moving forward. ” Dixon shouted at me when I slowed a fraction.Energy returned to my body. I ran faster than before, matching his speed and stamina. But who was I kidding?The howls were growing near. And from the sounds of it, the number of wolves couldn’t be less than two dozen or something. This was a death situation. Dixon and I were against at least 20 wolves. We were going to die. It would be all my fault.My eyes stung and so did my nose as we kept running, and dodging branches here and there.“ They won’t catch up to you. ” Dixon’s hand loosened around my wrist somewhere along the way.I didn’t stop. But he slowed down. I ran forward. He released my hand. I was far. He
IZERDefeating Cadamus—the infamous dog and not a wolf was not that hard. My wolves had fun with his minions, Valerie toyed with his son and I played with him well. His agony was prolonged. At some point, he even shot energy balls at me which he must have thought was legendary but it was nothing I had not seen before.The only reason he could defeat and kill my Dad was because he had killed Mom before him. When Dad lost Mom, he became half of what he was. His broken trust and sense of betrayal didn’t help either. It took him a lot of time to heal from the blows, from the pain in his heart.But, I had made sure I was nothing like Dad.I didn’t trust. I didn’t go down due to the pain in my heart. I never took too much time to react or plan.The only common thing between Dad and I was the love for our mates. He loved Mom. And I loved Scarlett more than anything in this fucking world.I was ecstatic that she was not here right now or I would have spent most of my time watching her front
IZER Apparently, Scarlett had used too much of her energy and now she was drained. I didn’t have my mark on her so I couldn’t share my energy with her either. All I could do in this situation was wash her up and put her in bed. And I did that. After that, it was a long wait that didn’t end even after two days. Her face was pale, and her lips cracked but there was nothing I could do to help her. I had never experienced such helplessness before and it was not an ideal time to experience new emotions. Now, I sat on the chair beside her bed, watching and waiting for her to open her beautiful eyes and look at me again. Dixon opened the door and peeked inside. My gaze moved in his direction. His brows rose to his forehead in question. “ She is not awake. You can come inside. ” I told him. He must have come here personally because he couldn’t mind-link me as I had blocked everything out for the time being. I just didn’t want to deal with anything right now. “ Did they all surrender?
IZERMartha left after fucking with my mind. The smug smirk remained plastered over her stupid lips until she disappeared from my sight.“ My tolerance towards her…ended tonight. If you don’t wake up now, I am going to probably dig a grave for that Martha. ” I grumbled to her as I lay by her side.The night had passed. The sun was rising in the sky now. I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment. My eyes were burning with a lack of sleep. The headache was not helping my situation either. There was just too much to think and feel, but no rest in sight.“ I am sur—surprised you didn’t kill her yet. ” The hoarse voice that I loved whispered from beside me.My eyes snapped open and met the green of her eyes. So deep and full of life. So Scarlett. My Darling.I thought I would be excited when she woke up. Or I would say ‘ Thank fucking fuck ’ that this shit was over, but right now, my heart calmed down for the first time since what happened three nights ago.My breathing evened out, and the
SCARLETTI didn’t know what was wrong with Izer. Everything was fine when I fainted. Now, it felt like there was a wall between us and it was so high that I could barely look at Izer—my Izer.What could have happened in two days to make him appear so distant? I wondered about it for a long time even after I finished breakfast and sat on the couch in the living room. Izer came with two mugs of coffee and placed one in front of me. I eyed the hot drink before looking up to find Izer sitting on the single seat opposite mine.He put distance between us. He never did that before. He never sat at a distance from me. He liked to invade my space and make me feel his presence.I stared at him as he sipped on his coffee and leaned back.“ Martha is on her way. ” He informed me, avoiding eye contact like he had done something wrong…or maybe I did.What could it be?This was frustrating me.“ What’s wrong with you, Izer? Why are you not telling me? How long do you think you want to be like this?
