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
Rushing out of the Ball, Herrick sensed his mate's scent which started to fade, concluding how far he had gone from this place.Herrick ran into the woods to follow the almost fading scent of David.To his relief, the scent became stronger and within few minutes, Herrick reached to his mate who was sitting on the ground with his back resting against a tree.His slouched form clearly shows how distress he is.Herrick stepped forward but sensed the aroma of sadness coming through David.Guilt washed over him, acknowledging the reason behind David's sadness.Why does he always hurt David? Herrick was upset with himself for letting himself take such a stupid step."David" He called out but David didn't give any response.He got on his knees and placed his palm on David's knee. "Stay the fuck away!" David growled, causing Herrick to startle at his sudden outburst."David... I'm sorry, my intention was not to hurt you" Herrick apolo
"Can you speak now?" Herrick exclaimed desperately as soon as they stepped in the room.David ignored him yet again and walked in the bathroom to change into some comfy clothes.Herrick on the other side let out a frustrated groan.They all had come back from the Ball a while ago and during the whole ride back to home, David was quite despite Herrick's all attempt to get him to talk.At last Herrick stopped trying and let him be, concluding that David must not want to be shown close to Herrick in front of the pack members.Although it pained Herrick, he let the man be.Now when they are back in the house and alone in the room, Herrick could not hold himself from asking the strange behavior of his mate.But the man is avoiding him as if he had committed a sin.Herrick could only wonder the reasons behind his mate's ignorance.After almost fifteen minutes, David walked out of the bathroom and straight up walked towards the bed.Herrick kept his gaze o
"I can sense your fear, mate" Herrick whispered, bringing his mouth closer to David's neck.Inhaling his strong scent, all he wanted was to mix his scent with David. "I'm not going to hurt you" Herrick spoke and placed his lips against David's skin, nibbling slightly on the bare skin, he pulled his hand out from David's trouser and placed it on his hip.David find himself relaxing under his mate's soft touch as Herrick stroked the either side of David's hip. "Don't do that again" Herrick warned and pulled his head away from David's neck. "What?" David asked, still not over the adrenaline rush after the little intimate touch of Herrick "Don't doubt my love for you." Herrick said and brought his palm closer to caress David's cheek, stroking his cheekbones with the pad of his thumb which filled David's heart with warmth.He felt guilty for doubting him and judging him based on the rumors. "I'm sorry" David apologiz
Lucian and David were fighting against each other to enhance their techniques but the duo was still not focused fully on the fight.David could not stop himself from thinking about the reason behind Herrick's sudden interest in The Royal Crescent Pack.For some unknown reason, that thought of Hemanth kept bothering him.Lucian was not feeling well as if his senses are trying to alarm him about something but left the man in deep thoughts which made him restless."Let's just take a break" David suggested.Lucian nodded in agreement.Just then the two wolves entered the ground in a rush.They did not look too good, judging from their expressions.Lucian and David exchanged a look of confusion before focusing their attention back on the wolves."Alpha... there is a bad news" The male panted right after shifting, causing Lucian to worry.The two wolves looked at each other and stared back at the Alpha with such an
Scarlett's POV -Passing through the crowd, I made my way towards the exit to go behind Lucian.Just when I walked out, Lucian's Beta David was already on his way to run after Lucian.He must be worried just as much."David listen!" I called out, his steps came to a halt after hearing my words.I quickly approached him and took a few seconds to catch my breath. "I will go after him.." I informed.He him.He seemed to be in a deep thought for a moment. "You can trust me on this" I added."It's not that I don't trust you Luna..I am just worried because Alpha might react impulsively." David spoke out his mind, voice laced with concern as he looked back at the direction where Lucian had run."No matter how impulsive he would react,
