Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sarah's POV - I was just a pawn
I was insecure watching the rate at which Sherry and Ryan were falling for each other, all over again. I wasn't opposed to her happiness but I was wary of what had happened before we lost everything. ***Let me take you back in time a little. A time when life seemed a little logical -I was just headed towards the Moonlight Pack but before I could reach, I saw Sherizad coming at our place. I watched her storm straight back to her mother's chamber. " When is Tristan coming? I want to get married to him right now! "I knew something had happened between her and Ryan for her to act so stupid and impulsive. We all knew how madly in love, she was, with Ryan, even though they never professed. " Tristan should be on his way Sherizad... But why does it seem like you just got rejected, darling? " I was sure the intension of her mother was not to mock her or anything but she whacked her hand away then trotted straight towards her father's tent. It was the proudest moment of my life when I
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Midnight's POV - tangled Past
" You can't be serious. " He had his claws around my neck and the pressure was exactly at my cartilage. " Do you think this is a time for jokes like this Midnight?"He thrust his other hand right in front of my face, almost pressing on my nose and eyes, screaming onto my face. " Do you see these hands? They are still reeking of my father's blood. I am not in the mood for any entertainment. So come straight to the point and tell me why you are here. "I could see the changed demeanor in Alpha Ryan's eyes. It looked like a maniac, yet he looked like a broken soul. " I am sorry to hear what happened here, Alpha Ryan but what I am telling you, is also true. Our Alpha was assassinated and Sherizad had to marry Alpha Tristan to save her tribe. I wonder if she did not meet you before taking that decision."There was an immediate moment of realisation in his eyes, followed by instant regret. " No. No way. She cannot just go get married to anyone because... because... "This was the moment
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Ryan's POV- losing her... past
She was right in front of me. There was nobody else in that space. Nothing between us. We had been in similar situations more than once. Yet , every inch of my body felt like plunging in front and going in for her lips, though my conscious mind, knew full well that she was now out of my reach. How was that possible? How could things turn like this? " I am sorry for your loss. I had no idea, your father was killed. I deeply regret not being able to attend his funeral. " I finally forced myself to say something. Sherizad, however, wasn't even looking at me. I dared to take a bold step to try and dismiss the tension that was brewing. " Did you come to my pack to tell me about your marriage? "Another stupid question on the line. Sherizad turned at me with fire in her eyes. Her eyes were always very expressive but this was something else. I have no idea who came over me but in an impulse, I tried to grab her by her waist and pull her hands towards me." Do you have the slightest
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherizad's POV... Mark of the Alpha... Past
The task at hand was nothing normal. I was about to lead the All Alpha meet, instead of my father. Probably the only one to lead such a meet without being an Alpha, herself. Herself? What was I even thinking about?Whoever, ever heard of a woman Alpha King? It was all mythical. It was all, only a fable. " The Alphas' have arrived , Sherizad, " it was the voice, that I was trying to avoid. It was Ryan. And somehow his presence was making me very uncomfortable. I wanted to not even look at his face but it was tempting, nevertheless. And somehow, after learning about the truth about his parents, I felt like an idiot, acting so rogue on my impulse. Could I have not tried talking to him, one last time, face to face, before jumping in for the marriage? " Sherizad... They are waiting for you. Come on. Come and lead the meet like your father would have... " His voice brought me back from my trails of thought. " Like my father? " I scoffed as I stood up to leave through the gate. " I am a
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherizad's POV- meeting someone new
It was weird how everyone's demeanor towards me, changed after the seal on my back, confirmed my legitimacy, as my father's heir. Even my half brothers visited me one by one, vowing their obedience and assistance. I knew that some of my ministers and the other Alphas were not very pleased with my position. Yet they smiled and nodded at me in public. But I knew that they would bare their vision fangs behind my back. Ryan had gone back to his tribe. We were preparing for battle. We would launch a joint assault on the Northern lands, each pack would surround it on each of uta sides. Ryan had also gone to find the old practitioners of the dark arts. We would need their full assistance if we were up against dark forces. I was a little preoccupied. I had to sort things out at my own pack. Tristan had not yet recovered consciousness and his pack was restless at the situation. I had to put things in order at his place as well. We decided to move both the packs strategically, so we could h
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherizad's POV- Meeting him again
I could not understand much of what I had witnessed. But one thing was certain, if the credibility of the mysterious man was exempted, the northern chief and Ryan's clan, had something intricate. It was almost dawn and I couldn't sleep well. With the first ray of the morning light, I gathered Midnight and a few chiefs. We rode off towards Ryan's tribe. The battle was just brewing. " Sherizad? Midnight? Whoah! Why are you guys so early? "It was Josh. We met him right at the entrance to their tribe. He was probably out there attending his nature's call or just wandering. " It's Alpha Sherizad, you, thick head... "Beck came in from no where and hit Josh right at the back of his head. He smiled and bowed as we passed right beside them. I could hear them bickering at the back which made me smile a little. " What a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting you so early... " it was Ryan. He remarked as he extended his arm, trying to help me dismount. I sprang beside him without accepting,
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherizad's POV- Battle ground
" Your father must have foreseen something for him to hand over these weapons to you, before his demise. "Another remark that blew me off track. We were en route to the Northern lands. Ryan's mysterious uncle was behind us as well. He promised to lead us to the last post where he himself was allowed. " What do you mean? "I , naturally slowed down ." Did you know my father? "" I might have. " He smiled. Then he positioned himself between myself and the rest of my team in such a manner that only I would be able to hear what he says. " That tree over there, is the last post till where I will be able to accompany you guys.""Why? I mean why can you not cross that land? "I knew that he specifically asked us not to ask about that but I took the liberty. " Ahhh! You are quite a girl I see. Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell you since we both will be sharing some more secrecy. " He flashed his contagious smile again, " You see that thing that rules those lands have a dark source.
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Ryan's POV - Back in the present
I had Sherizad's dagger in my hand. I was sitting in my study. My doors were shut for everyone at the moment. Even for Sherry, the human. I know my boys were worried and so was Chong but I had the very weapon with which Sherizad had annihilated my entire clan, along with herself. I thought it was gone. But here it was , right in between my palms. I brought out my own spectre and kept it beside her dagger on my study table. The only one missing was the sun sword that Tristan had. It was missing as well and I somehow had an urge. I had a feeling that I needed to find it as well. I felt like this was part of some missing puzzle. I felt like it would be the key to the answers to my questions. The answers that I never got to ask Sherizad and the ones she could never answer. I didn't want anybody to trouble me at the moment but it felt like chaos was part of my existence. I could hear some commotion, coming from the front gate. I could hear my boys talking and I could also hear Sherry

Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Ryan's POV - Dear husband
" My dear husband, I know we haven't exchanged the vows but in my heart you have and always been the one and only one. I don't know how you will be able to explain this to all those waiting at that stadium. I don't know how you will cope with what I am about to say. Just know that this is not another betrayal. I love you. I am not leaving you. But I have to go now. It's not something in my hand. Take care of yourself. Take care of our new pack. I promise I will return. Wait for me to come back. So for now my dear Ryan, you are the deputy Alpha. You are in charge."That was what she sent me. My mobile phone crashed on the floor as I ran towards my car. I ran straight home. The limo was still standing in front of the gate. Rose was waiting there with a smile but it faded as soon as she saw my face. " Ryan? Why are you here? What happened? "She rushed inside as she saw me dart in without answering. I broke into the room where her scent was still coming from. "Sherry...... S
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherry's POV - Happy ending?
I couldn't believe it had already been months and what was more unbelievable was the fact that Rose was my bride's maid. I mean, I didn't want to hold onto anymore grudges. I told Ryan to sort things out with his father as well. We both went together to ask for his blessing before our wedding. "This one seems like a changed girl, my boy. You better be careful. " He had jokingly said, or was it a joke at all? I was indeed a different species at the moment. Not the weak human who had caught his eye. " You look stunning. I think I should keep an ambulance ready for Ryan. "Rose joked. She had done all the wedding preparations by herself. She had even helped me with deciding the dress. A very unique design. A high neck, see through courset dress with a very light weight trail. It had some pearl detailing on the veil that I was wearing and it matched the set that I was wearing as well. " Thank you for everything Rose. I know it must have been hard for you.... "" Oh, don't mind. It w
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherry's POV-Bulls eye
I knew I wasn't thinking very straight but there was nothing else that could be done. We had just buried two of our best friends. There shouldn't be any more burial from our side. Besides, if what Midnight said could be taken into account, there were many werewolves from Helo's end who were mere puppets. They needed to be protected as well. I head-on battle would only result in more innocent casualties. " Are you sure you want to do it this way... "Ryan's breath over my bare shoulder made me shiver from within. I was putting on my war costume. Just like old days. " This is the only way.... "I resumed putting the weapons into their respective places. But he turned me around. " You know I never contradicted you. I did everything that you asked me to do. Your way. "He pulled me closer and burnt his gaze into me. " Listen to me carefully Sherizad. I paid a very heavy price for that obedience last time. Don't you even think of leaving me this time. " He shook me with feral inte
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Battle prep.... 2.0
"So what is it you are willing to give for your friend to live"Helos laughed hysterically. He knew Midnight or Sarah, whatever you called her by, had no power over him. She was merely a slave bound to him by claws(clause of contract written in blood) but he hated that she was steadily slipping out of her grip. There she was, her hands blackened with the stain of collecting all those innocent souls. Yet she was unhinged by her own pain. She was begging Helos to spare her friend Sherizad. She was begging him as he drank one dark blood after another , replenishing his strength. "Anything... Anything that you want. I can bring you Ryan. I can give you his head. "" Silence little rat head! If his head was all I wanted , didn't I have better opportunities than this? "Midnight was desperate and she flung herself at his feet, her face landing right on the ground. Helos laughed. Then placed his feet above her ear. He pressed so hard that her head cracked a little. Midnight didn't scream.
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherry's POV - Back from the dead
" Sherry! Thank God! Thank God you are back! "My eyes were open but my view hadn't yet adapted to the new light conditions. But I could feel Ryan's tight and warm embrace around me. He was crying. He was crying as he was hugging me. I felt one hand around Ryan's back and my other hand was holding something hard. It was the hilt of the dagger that I had pierced myself with. " I am so sorry. I am sorry about what Beck did to you. I am sorry I couldn't stop him. I am sorry I couldn't save you both... "I could slowly see everything around me. I was on Ryan's lap, still on the road in front of my building. There was a small crowd in the back and I could hear the distant sound of the ambulance and police car blazing. I saw Beck's lifeless body lying just beside me. His hand almost touched mine as I tried to get up. I pulled Ryan's ear close to mine and whispered, " Take us out of here Ryan. It was no one's fualt. I remember everything now. I will tell you everything. It's was all prep
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherry's POV- Hereafter
It felt like I was falling down a glass tunnel. I could see glimpses of my life, flash across it's mirror-like surface. It was as if my life was playing before my eyes but in a reverse model. I could see the incident with Beck, my moments with Ryan, the days spent before that, me getting kidnapped, my first meeting with Ryan, my struggles with my dad, my miserable college life, followed by my school days. It kept going back and back till I saw myself as a baby in my dad's arm, in the same cave where he was murdered. And the moment that flashed after that were those of me getting taken away from my mother, who was lying unconscious in a hospital. Beside her was a man, who held her hand fondly. Definitely a spouse or a partner. The father of her child who was getting elated and was being congratulated for becoming a new father. So, the man I loved my whole life as a parent, was my kidnapper? Luckily, I wasn't in a state to feel any emotions and it was much easier that way. It was s
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherry's POV - Life
I went straight back to my apartment. It was time for Sarah to be back for a nap. I was in no mood for a conversation so I went straight to the roof top. I needed some time to myself. I went straight to the corner and sat there, as my legs dangled from the edge. I didn't know what made me more upset. The fact that I was just a mere human lookalike of a great werewolf queen or the fact that Ryan actually never touched or kissed me. It was his former dead lover whom he had been searching for in me. It was honestly humiliating" Oh my god, Beck! You scared me. " His sudden movement made me jump up. I almost tripped from the edge and was about to fall. But Beck caught my hand luckily. " What are you doing here? "I asked as I stood up when he pulled me up, " Did your Boss ask you to check on me? " I couldn't think of any other reason for him to be there. " Are you alright? " Somehow that question of his was making me uncomfortable over the course of the last few days. " I am alright
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Gathered again
" Why is this place so crowded? Who are all these people? "Sherry asked as she made her way towards the store room. Josh was right behind her. " They are not normal people Sherry. They are like us... "Sherry had not been coming for work for about a week. Ever since her night with Ryan, she had been feeling some strange discomfort. Ryan had specifically asked her to stay home and rest. He went to check on her every night and came back with the morning sunrays. She was back that day, after her little break. " All of them? " She asked looking at a hall room full of werewolves for the first time in her life. Ryan and his boys never felt that alien but it was different for those present there. Each had distinct features. Each had a different kind of eye. " Is something happening? Like do you have any festival or something? What's the reason for the gathering? " Josh, chuckled. " Nah! Not a festival. We are preparing a party. A different kind. " Josh winked. Sherry ignored the s
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon After effect
Ryan and his men did realise that the den they visited had something definitely sinister about it. But they failed to realise that it had accelerated the process of repeating history. What Beck experienced, whatever happened to Sherry or her father's murder was not things that were individual. They were all connected by the thread of fate. " Has Chong and you,been working on the list? "Ryan asked. " Yes, we did. All of them. Didn't miss a single one. "Josh confirmed checking his recently dialed list, with a big wink. " How's Beck doing? " Ryan asked. He had been keeping quiet and acting a little weird, ever since they got back from that place. Ryan was now sure that there must be more scattered werewolves from their lost packs.Scattered every where, other the centuries. His new mission was to try and track any paranormal activity and recruit as many of them. He wanted to meet each one of them personally, to see whether he knew them already and persuade them. He had been trying
