"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
Lucian who had fallen asleep on the couch was forced to jolt awake when the high pitch scream of Scarlett reach his ear.With ceased brows and wide eyes, he rushed towards Scarlett who was still on the bed, mumbling incoherent words in her sleep.Her shivering figure did not go unnoticed by Lucian who sat at the edge of the bed before taking a hold of her hand which were unusually cold.'N-no…no.. Don't' Her weak voice which sounds like a plea now could be heard clearly. "Scarlett…wake up" He slightly shook her shoulder, she was jolt awake and gasped for air.Lucian quickly grabbed the glass of water that was on the side table and brought it closer to her lips as her hands were still shaking.She slowly gulped down the water.Lucian placed the glass back on the table and cupped her left cheek before moving his other hand to wrap around her shoulder.She hugged him tightly without wasting any other second."I don't want to stay here..
David - HerrickAfter Alpha announced Scarlett as his mate, the pack didn't dare to say anything against it.David who was done with his work, stood up and left the Pack House.It was already evening and would get dark within minutes, his wolf begged to be released for a while as he hadn't let the wolf take over after the stunt he had done with Herrick.He sigh at the thought of Herrick, would it be worth giving their bond a chance?David walked into the woods and when he was sure that there's no danger, stripped himself before letting his wolf take control.He felt stress free and lively as his wolf ran deeper into the woods, enjoying the cold breeze that hit his face.He feels much better, relieved to be exact.After running for an hour or so, his wolf laid on the ground.Staring at the sky as it was dark already but the sky looked beautiful at such hour.He find himself relaxing and shut his eyes close.A while la
For the next few days, Scarlett succeeded in avoiding every single opportunity to face Lucian.She is still having a war in her head, a complicated one to be exact which makes her feel like she might not be able to find a conclusion.One side, her head is filled with those scenarios which hurts her every time but then the other side, the moments she had spent with Lucian from the past few days flashes in front of eyes.How could she not be confused?'Mate mate mate' Her wolf chanted excitedly in her head after sensing his strong intoxicating scent.She quickly got off the couch and made her way upstairs back to her room but this time her wolf was furious at her behaviour.Scarlett might not want to see Lucian but her wolf can't bear the torture of not having a glimpse of her mate.Her wolf easily took control as Scarlett's human form was still a beginner to adjust and learn how to control better.Her eyes turned the shade of golden and red a
Scarlett informed Lucian about the little girl as soon as he was back in the house.With furrowed brows he followed Scarlett to her room. "Do you know her?" Scarlett asked when Lucian walked in the room to check up on the little girl.He was confused as he had never seen this girl in the pack before. "I'll ask the pack members if any of them know her" Lucian informed before mind-linking the Pack members.While he was zoned out, Scarlett sat at the edge of the bed after noticing the little movements from the girl.She woke up and looked around, still terrified. "Hey.. it's okay, you're safe..Can you tell us your name and anything about your parents so we could help you find them?" Scarlett spoke softly to the little girl. "I'm Aesha and my dad...m-my dad" She started crying hard which made Scarlett worried and Lucian snapped himself out of the mind link. "What happened to your dad?" Lucian asked but the girl wouldn't st
Lucian walked in the house in the middle of the night not expecting Scarlett in the living room who was asleep in an uncomfortable position..'Had she been waiting for me?' Lucian couldn't help but feel the mixture of sadness and joy.His anger subsided after seeing the calm face of his mate.He heaved out a sigh and tiptoed to approach Scarlett, making sure to not disturb her sleep.He bend down to take a close look of her face.Oh how badly he wants to cuddle her.You can't blame him, she just looked too adorable and cuddly at the moment."Just how much I want to keep you close.. Would you believe me if I say that I might die without you.. That's just how much attached I've become..Love, I want to be by your side for the rest of my life that is if you would let me..I don't have courage to confess because I'm afraid of rejection.." He spoke softly while stroking her cheeks before carefully carrying her sleeping figure in his arms and walked upstairs to her room.
Scarlett was terrified after watching the scene that unfolded in front of her eyes.She pushed off the heavy body of Herrick causing him to drop next to her.She realized now that he was unconscious which added more to her worry.She averted her attention back at the two wolves who were still fighting, not leaving a single chance to attack each other. 'Lucian, David Stop!" She screamed catching the attention of both wolves who stopped right away.Lucian rushed towards Scarlett and shift back in his human form.Not giving a damn about his naked self, he grabbed the shirt from the ground and made her wear it to cover Scarlett.He clenched his jaw after noticing how Scarlett turned to check up on Herrick.He wore the sweatpants and grabbed Scarlett from her upper arm to pull her away from Herrick."Lucian he is unconscious" Scarlett exclaimed.David covered Herrick with a shirt and lifted him in his arms, not forgetting to glance at the Alpha with fur
At The Ball -The smell of gardenia hit their nostrils which was surprisingly strong and sweet.The whole place was decorated beautifully.Lucian walked ahead with Scarlett next to him with their head held high.David scooted as far as possible from Herrick who rolled his eyes at the stupid act of his mate.The Chaos was what they could hear from afar as they walked through the entrance which was lit up with the dim lights and flowers, enhancing the decoration of entrance.The crowd became awfully quiet after sensing the presence of Alpha Lucian but what made all the present wolves there to turn their attention towards Lucian and his pack was the strong and dominating aura which did not only radiate from Lucian but Scarlett and Herrick as well.It was quite a relief that none could figure out the exact reason as the other pack did not give it much thought and continued with their chit chat."Alpha Lucian" Other Pack Alpha's approache
