"What the— Her words got stuck in her throat as Lucian leaned closer, a strange enticing feeling washed over her at the proximity between them.She never liked the tall male in the same room as her but now when he is dangerously close to her, she could not deny the growing feeling inside her stomach which she could not quite comprehend, anxiety or excitement? Her ocean-like eyes stayed stuck at him, she knew that the man had handsome features but oh to be the one who could graze her fingers over his sharp jaws.She watched his lips moving which cause her to blink a couple of times as the man had said something which she failed to hear, too lost in his silver orbs which ridiculously makes her feel at ease yet manages to shake her inside in many emotions.
"Scarlett" Lucian repeated, snapping her out of her trance.Her eyes widened and she quickly stepped back, looking everywhere except him.What was she doing?
"Don't roam around the mall
Scarlett's Pov — ( next morning ) I feel so fresh and energetic today.I entered the bathroom and stripped out of my clothes before turning on the shower.A soft hum left my lips at the contact of warm water on my skin.Something about today is very different I assume, my senses seems to work faster than before and the tiredness I has been feeling from the past few days are long gone. It's a good thing for me, I won't be moody at least.After I was done, I walked out of the shower and dried myself before changing into blue jeans and a black full sleeves crop top.I grabbed my dirty clothes and move to put them into the basket but my steps came to a halt after noticing blood patch on them.I shrugged it off thinking I must've hurt myself yesterday. I shut the bathroom door and walked towards my dresser table to brush my hairs.Am I seeing things? Till yesterday I looked almost dead and here in the morning, I'm glowing like the moon.
LucianA lot has happened in the past few hours.From discovering Herrick as David's mate to the vampire attack on few wolves.Even after all this mess, my mind is all around Scarlett.Mate bond is surely doing it's work and I assume, she is about to turn adult soon that is why my wolf is more attracted towards her.But I can not let my wolf take over.For I need to know her decision first.If her heart beats for me as much as mine.I heard the sound of something crashing, coming from my mom's room.I rushed towards her room, the scent of my mate was all over my surroundings.I was relieved that she must be there for help, I barged into the room and heaved out a sigh.My mother is fine, my gaze shift at Scarlett who was right next to my mother, staring worriedly at her.My heart warmed sensing my mate's concern towards my mother.I approached them and sat next to mom, gently taking her hands in mine and placing a gentle kiss of co
David - Herrick"Where have you been?" Herrick asked his stubborn mate who stepped towards the closet, turning deaf to Herrick's voice which pissed him off."I asked you something, David" His name rolled off Herrick's lips in such a threatening tone that it made the man shudder right on his place but he shrugged it off, standing his ground and continued going through his stuff.Herrick's eyes burned with rage at the ignorance of his mate, it felt disrespectful to him and he knows the reason but before he could control himself, his wolf marched towards David and pinned him against the closet.The actions take David off guard, his eyes wide and jaw hung in complete shock with mixture of disbelief."You don't get to disrespect me, mate" Herrick's voice was so deep and raspy, filled with authority that David find himself so small under his gaze.Only David's Alpha has that control to command him but now when Herrick did t
"This is wrong" That's all what David could think, his head hurts but those countless negative thoughts wouldn't stop repeating in his head.Drops of water touched his skin, relaxing his body for a while but there's nothing which could help him relax his mind.He rubbed every part of his skin where Herrick left his mark, he just wants to get rid of them but the pressure made it even more red.He groaned, avoiding this for now and walked out of the shower.Wrapping the towel securely around his torso, he stepped out of the bathroom.To add onto his frustration, Herrick was still in the room, probably waiting for him.David avoided him completely and quickly got changed.Herrick stayed quiet, patiently waiting for David to get done with his business so he could talk about the event that happened earlier but David's behavior made it hard for him to start a conversation.Still Herrick tried only to get ignored by him.David left the room leaving a worried and sad Herrick in
"I, David Jonathan, Beta of Red Moon Pack rejects—"David don't!" A very familiar stern voice cut off David's words mid sentence.That voice belongs to none other than his Alpha, Lucian who had sensed David's worry earlier when he visited him in the room.Lucian had followed his beta when the man abruptly left the room and happened to overhear the pair's conversation which shook him from inside.Forcing your mate to submit and completing the mating process is forbidden in this Pack which is why Lucian felt disappointed yet angry.He could've just attacked Herrick for committing a sin but he resisted the urge, not wanting to take actions without knowing both of their perspective.His human side has more control over such matters because some decisions in anger could do the major damage.Hence, he stopped David before the man could take such a big decision of his life out of anger and we never know what future holds for us.Rejection is way painful process th
Next Morning —I woke up in a really good mood, there are two reasons for it.First, I turned 18 and might have my wolf because of those voices I've been hearing in my head.Second, I'll be able to find my mate.I smiled looking at my reflection in the mirror, the word mate made me happy and I find myself recalling the events of last night with Lucian.I could feel myself heating up when his face appeared in my head.I shrugged all the thoughts and head downstairs for breakfast.I walked in the dining area but there was only Herrick, quietly eating his breakfast.'Where are David and Lucian?' I wondered while taking a seat next to Herrick who looked lost in deep thoughts.I couldn't help but wonder what could have stressed him."Herrick, Is everything alright?" I asked before placing my palm on his shoulder to provide some sort of comfort.He shook his head and smiled which I know was forced."Is there somethi
"Be careful up there" Lucian warned one of the warrior before making his back to the selected area where all the new shifters were present with their parents or guardians.He had commanded every single warrior and wolves to be on alert.After double checking everything, he was satisfied with the security.With each step he took, he could feel his heart picking up a beat.It did not take Lucian seconds to sense his mate's scent.His eyes scanned the whole field, silver orbs searching for his mate's ocean eyes.He knew that she had turned 18 the moment her scent turned stronger, too hard for the said man to control every urge of his body that just want to feel the warmth of her.If her scent was not already intoxicating, it became even more that his wolf was doing everything in his power to take control.Lucian knew he might end up doing something that he would regret out of his desire, man had to leave the house as soon as possible to prevent Scarlett from his strong de
Lucian -I ran as fast as I could, giving the control to my wolf as per to let him search Scarlett easily.There is no way, Scarlett's wolf attacked Hunter for no reason.Something must have had happened for her to lose temper and react harshly.My breathing turned uneven, the sound of my heart beat matched with the thumping sound of my foots as I continued running and let my wolf guide me to Scarlett.I stopped and looked around while trying to catch my breath.Scarlett's scent is way too strong and it's all over this place but there's no glimpse of her.My eyes moved to scan every single inch of this place until it directly stopped at the lake.My heart almost stopped realizing that she had fainted and fell in the lake.My eyes widened and my wolf screamed in my head.MATE! With fast steps, I ran towards the lake and jumped in it without a second thought.The water was unusually cold as if it would freeze me to death.I hold in my breath and opened my eyes
