Noah POV
Jeez, I’m so confused right now. I'm running my hand through my hair, as I don’t believe what has actually happened. How can the new girl be my mate? How on earth is that possible?Shit, doesn’t the moon goddess know how to plan things at all? I’ve always desired to have Bella as my mate. We have been dating for four years, and suddenly the moon goddess decides that we are not meant for each other!
I need time alone. I turn to Bella, who has been crying since my wolf didn’t yearn for her. You needed to see the disappointment on her face when my wolf called Scarlet, who is currently one of her roommates.
I need her to give me some time to think. "You have to stop crying, Bella. You saw that I chose you in front of everyone. I don’t want my mate; I’ve always wanted you, Bella, so you don’t have to continue crying." I kiss her on her forehead as she presses herself into my chest.
She has been speechless, but I could see the anger in her and the hatred she has for the new girl already. "See you in the morning, right?" she asks as she turns towards the door.
" Right. See you in the morning." I give her a partial smile and wait until she is out already.
As soon as I noticed everywhere was calm and they were all back to the hostels because it was very late, I stepped out of my apartment and went to where I had my car parked.I find my car as I hop in and begin to drive off. Driving towards my best friend’s place. Riva has been my best friend since childhood, and by the way, he saw Scarlet today as well when she came with her mom.
It’s a few minutes drive, and I’m driving very fast because, since I rejected that girl, I have not been the same Noah I used to be. I feel fucked up, and I don’t fucking know why.
A girl I don’t even know…
Jeez, she is new, and she doesn’t look like the rest of the students. She looks like she’s been struggling financially too.She looks too simple and boring…But I can’t deny that she is the most beautiful girl I’ve set my eyes on. Those blue eyes makes her like a perfect creature with no mistake.
The black colour of her hair compliments everything in her. She looks way too pretty, that was the reason I stared so weirdly at her when I saw her for the first time. Her beauty caught me, but then I could tell she was new.
But I am sure of what I want. Bella is the girl for me. I drive into a spot and hop out of the car as I go to find Riva.
I step onto the porch and head straight to ring the bell. I rang it about three times and got no response. “Damn, man, where are you?” Sighing out.
I pick up my phone to call him, but it says switch off. I go back into my car to return to my hostel.
Riva has gone to a place, and he told me nothing about it. He should be ready for me when I catch his ass.
I go to bed restless. Damn, I hate that I have lost my peace of mind already.
..The next day, I prepare for the early morning class, dressing in all black shirt and trousers and wearing a polished black shoe and a silver chain.I styled my gray hair on the right side of my face. Which makes me look sexy and attractive to all the girls in this school.
I'm in my personal apartment; I have no roommates. I'm alone like I have ever been since age ten. There is no sharing of rooms, unlike other schoolmates.
My apartment is a little far from Bella’s hostel. I got into my car and began to drive to her hostel. I always pick her up, and we go to class together.
Though we are not in the same class, and I think Scarlet is.
A few minutes later, I arrived, and I began to hear a loud voice from downstairs. I heard the sound of broken bottles and screams. Not just hers.
Other voices—more than two"Shit!" I screamed as soon as I noticed there was a problem. I wanted to mind-link Bella, but I remembered that I had not marked her. And as for my so-called mate, I can’t mind link her either because I have neither accepted her nor marked her as mine.
I slam my door harshly in a rush as I run upstairs to their room. There’s chaos going on as the screams refuse to drop.
I threw the door open, and I saw the whole room in a mess. The first person my eyes fall on is Scarlet.
Her whole dress has been transformed into a rag. Then I saw the tears in her eyes. Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain in my heart the moment I meet her eyes. I'm unsure of what it is.She stares at me. For a second, I felt a pang, and it was caused by her pitiful stares from those perfect eyes of hers.
" Noah!" Bella shouts, dropping the pillow to the ground as she sees me in front of the porch. She runs to me and hugs me tightly as she begins to cry.
"What’s going on here?" I ask, my eyes are still on Scarlet.
Scarlet quickly wipes the tears from her eyes and turns her back as she ignores my question. Shit, that pissed me off immediately
"I hate her." Bella answered, staring at her awfully.
Rage occupies my chest, and I am unsure of what is building up the anger within me.
"I told you never to come in between us!" I yelled at her, not concerned about what had happened here before my arrival.She ignored me as she arranged her books in her backpack. I swear her silence fuels my anger. "Do you get me?" My blood fuses when she keeps me silent. She is already prepared to leave the room for her class.
I haven’t let her leave yet. She has to see that I meant every word I said last night about not wanting her.
As she throws her backpack across her shoulder, seeing that she is about to slide through the existing door where I am still standing at.
I grab Bella’s waist and press a tight kiss on her lips. Scarlet freezes as she glances at the two of us.
There’s something with this girl. Even though I don’t want her, I still can’t stop staring at her, like the first time she stepped into this school.
I see the veins tightening in her neck and how she clenches her fist as she holds her backpack on her shoulder.
Her perfect blue eyes water in front of me, but she tries her best to hold them back as she gulps slowly down her throat.
"I love you, Noah!" Bella mumbles as our lips separate.
I smile, staring at Scarlet, but she no longer looks at us. She finally slides through the door and out of the room.
"Damn it!" I clench my fist after letting go of Bella. She still utters no words, and I fucking hate that she has not said anything since last night.
I hate that I’m so interested to hear her speak. I need to know what is going on in her mind.
Scarlet POVI must be a joker to think that I could be lucky to have a mate. I laugh so hard with strain, when I recall how dad left mom and never came back for us.I remember how Mom cried and begged him to stay because they had me. He rejected Mom; he said he couldn’t stay and he wanted to be out.I couldn’t believe that he was permanently out of our lives. I thought it was a joke until he truly never came back.He couldn't love either my mother or me. How could I dare to dream of having mine? Men aren’t worth it!"Jeez, I’m so fucked up!" I scream my frustration into the air as I take a long breath. I feel like my throat is too dry from hurt and sadness.I am walking so fast as I endure the pain in my chest. I hate to recall the scene of him kissing her in front of me." Scarlet! Hey wait!" I hear a female voice and begin to slow my steps, turning to see that it’s Jane.I sigh, knowing that she is kind of on my side. She was able to stop Bella from hurting me further back in the ro
Noah PovI angrily left the class because I knew if I had stayed longer there, I would have done a terrible thing. Fuck, I don’t know what is wrong with me.I don’t know why I hate it that Mr. Jack wants to be close to her.It’s stupid to think that he can fool us or me with that excuse. He doesn’t want a president. He fucking wants to mess around with Scarlet because he can’t help but admire her beauty.Jeez, Scarlet is a fucking novice. This is why I can’t have her!The things she does irk me. The silence treatment she gives me boils my anger!I fucking don’t know what to do because I feel so pissed right now. I’m pissed at both of them.I’m pissed that Scarlet doesn’t know that. Mr. Jack can’t control his dick whenever he sees pretty ladies.I know it’s none of my business. But I don’t know why I keep getting so furious at it.Ladies will always be so annoying. They can be so blind that they can’t see danger coming.Mom was a victim too. She was so blind that she couldn’t see that t
Scarlet POVI draw in a long breathe and exhale again. I repeated a couple of times as I relax myself. My heart started racing when Noah approached me, then from a fast beating heart to a cracked one as soon as Bella came in between us.I don’t need to think over the rejection again. He rejected me and that’s okay. I need to focus more on my studies and get out of this school.Jeez, I’m just a new student and I’m already feeling so sophisticated. Never thought it will be this hard to breathe in Virginia College.I take another long breathe before I knock on the door. Mr. Jack’s office. It doesn’t take a second I heard the high pitch of his voice telling me to come in.I don’t know what I have to do in his office. The whole stuff just gets weird for me. I tuck my hair in front of my eyes, behind my ears.I push the down open as I see him sitting on the chair in front of his office desk. “ Sir, you asked me to come.” I mumble, trying not to look at him as I drop my gaze to the ground.“
Noah POVI watch how she ran away from me, causing me to go insane. Damn, what went on with them in the office? I can’t stop thinking about it, that she went to Mr Jack’s office. Alone. I don’t trust that dick.I hope he didn’t try to pass his boundary. I hope he.. shit! I slap my hand on the wall beside me, confused on what to do. It seems she will never talk to me and it’s all my fucking fault.I didn’t have the chance to speak to Jane, she also ran off with her friend. I saw the pains in Scarlet’s eyes again.. wait.. I just remembered something.When I rejected her, she didn’t accept the rejection. She only cried and saw that it really broke her heart. Could this mean, she is waiting for me to come back?Why has she not accepted it? And she still won’t talk to me. She hates me.“ Noah.” Bella shouts my name, coming from the entrance. I guess she must be done with today classes. When she interrupted my conversation with Scarlet earlier , she had one more class to go, but she needed
Scarlet POVGetting home and finally checking my phone, I notice I have about three missed calls from my mom.I try to take off my red gown and pack my hair in a bon then slip into a white shot and blue a tank top, before returning her call. Guess she misses me already.As I’m about to dial her number, someone suddenly burst into the room, and before I could turn to see, a tight slap suddenly landed across my face.Shit. I feel queasy as I return from the shock and it dawns on me that I had just been slapped by Bella. “ Bitch!” she let out a yell.I don’t wait for her to finish her disgusting statements before I give her a tight slap too. “ Are you sure you are normal Bella? How could you slap me like that.” I grit my teeth as I watch her puts a hand on her red cheek.Her breathing is heavy as she gaze at me with such hatred in her eyes. She angrily throws her shoe and her bag she was holding, to the ground.She jumps on me as she grab a handful of my hair with her free hands and twi
Noah POVI can’t contain the anger that is building inside of me. I storm out of my car as I reach my apartment, throwing the door open with anger and frustration. She couldn’t have done that! She just couldn’t have done that to us!I heard my lips saying “us” as I recall how I had started this myself. Shit! I messed up and I don’t think I can get her back. She seem to have lost interest and hates me already!I feel like I fucking lost something so special to me.“ Of course you should feel that way. You rejected our mate.” My wolf suddenly speaks out with anger as I stare at him in the mirror.“ Jasper.. I don’t fucking know what to do. I screwed up.” I run my hands through my hair as my eyes turns red.“ You broke her heart, Noah. She desperately wanted us but you chose her over your girlfriend.” Jasper seem to hate the very first decision I made over our mate.“ I was scared. I’m still so confused right now. I feel there’s so much I’ve lost. Jasper those few moments I held her hand
Scarlet POVIt’s a quarter of seven when I walk into the school and everyone begin to look at me strangely. As if I had committed a crime. That isn’t enough, they are watching a video and chuckling as they stare at me.My feet feels heavy for a second when I noticed they are all almost staring at me as I walk in. Strange“ I saw this coming, because she is so jealous.” I hear a female whispers.“ That’s some shameless attitude.” Another voice chuckles.“ It’s so simple. She should move on.” I hear another. Now what is damn going on?!I feel the stiffness in my bones, refusing to take further steps.My legs refuses to move further as my knees go numb, as if I would collapse any minute. Can someone tell me what is going on? I have a feeling that it’s about me.I push myself to walk further, because I have a class in the next thirty minutes. As I continue to walk further, someone abruptly puts a foot down on the floor so I could trip over and fall on my face. I almost did, but something
Scarlet POVHe drove me across a garden, where there is only one tree that seem to be blossoming and the flowers looks perfect.“ Wow, there is a cool place like this? No one told me about it.” I run out of the car, going under the shade of the tree as I pick up it flowers that has fallen on the ground. They look so innocent and beautiful. The flower has a bright red color and an elongated shape.“ Well, I’m glad I’m the first to show you.” He smiles with those gorgeous dimples on his cheeks again.“ Not even Jane!” I shouts out of excitement, this place is lovely indeed. It’s the perfect place to cry out your sadness or have the best romance with your partner. It’s just so perfect to mend your heart.“ Thank you for bringing me here.” I say, he nods with a large smile across his lips. He finds a place to sit underneath the tree and waved at me to join him.“ This place honestly look perfect for couples.” I say out.“ Yeah, some people makes here their love garden.” He agrees.“ I wis
Scarlet POVI don’t believe that Noah is so skilled with these spells. As soon as he locked Ravet up so he wouldn’t wake up and get his freedom again, Noah set the whole place ablaze with magic."How did you know about that?” My eyes widen, and my mouth falls open."I read a lot, baby.” He comes closer as he glues his lips to mine, kissing me unexpectedly.“ Gosh. I miss your lips so much.” He smiles as he throws me into his arms, and then he summons up a passage for us to return to the pack. Just the same way we got here."And I miss everything about you, Noah.” I whisper as I rub his chest, staring so long at his face as though I haven’t seen him for a decade."We have a lot to catch up on. Let’s go back home first.” He plants a kiss on my forehead as he steps into the passage, while I cling to him by wrapping my hands around his neck tightly."I'm glad we were fine in the end.” I say this as we appear back in our bedroom, at the exact spot where we stayed."You need to rest; you lo
Scarlet POVI’m back in this place again, but this time to fight and defeat Ravet, who is a fucking dick for not being able to take his eyes off someone’s woman.I walk through the aisle, embedded in silence. I think this trap isn’t going to work this time because I have already attained a realm here, and that will keep me from falling into the trap.Noah walks through behind me, and I quickly give him the signal that someone is coming to attack him from behind.He catches the sign as soon as possible and is able to rebuke the spells that were about to be cast on him.I smirk, knowing that Noah isn’t going to accept defeats this time. He takes full control of the fight, and his spells seem to be stronger than theirs as the guy gets trapped in Noah's spell."Be trapped.” He shoves his hands at another one, running all the way from the next door beside the entrance of the hallway.I break into a run as I sense something strange. Ravet is doing something that will lead to a massive break
Scarlet POVI hold Michelle beside me as I approach the staircase. I look around the mansion and rub my hands on the furniture. I miss my home so much.I don’t believe I was back in my pack. It still feels like a dream. My eyes are still so heavy with tears as I stare at Noah and my best friend. It feels so great, and I didn’t think Noah would ever find a way back to me."Come with me to the room; you need to rest, Scarlet.” He trails his eyes around my body, then a deep frown settles on his face when he realizes the scar on my wrist. It isn’t a big deal; it was just the way Ravet held me so tight when he was taking me to the dark room."Did he hurt you?” his voice deeper as his eyes get fiercer."No, it’s nothing, Noah. It was just a minor scar.” I explain, but the anger remains in his eyes."I would fucking break him.” He says under his breath while he puts his hand around my waist so he could lead me to the room that we both shared.I couldn’t say a word. And the way he held me rem
"Where are you taking me?” Panic fills my voice as Ravet wraps his fist tightly around my wrist."To a safe place.” His tone is a bit stern, as if he is upset or something."What is happening? Why is the whole castle rowdy?” I shout on top of my voice because of how noisy it is, as if people were getting ready for some battles."We received a threat, and we might be attacked anytime soon.” He shouts at the top of his lungs."I don’t get it. By who? Ain’t you a sorcerer?” I’m a bit confused by his whole composure. The Ravet, I know, shouldn’t be shaken by any threat."The threat is from the most powerful coven, and I don’t know what it is about yet. I just need to protect you first before I focus on dealing with the issue." He says this and still takes me forward as he walks fast."Can't I protect myself? Didn’t you say I have attained some realms in the coven?” I argue, still not getting the point."You don’t know how to use it yet. So it is the same as being futile because you can’t
Scarlet POV“ Give me your hand, Scarlet. Do not be scared.” He whispers in his deep voice. I stretch out my shaking hands to him and he brings out a knife from his pocket.“ You might not want to see this, you can close your eyes.” He instructed, I nod as I take my eyes to the other side while I feel the knife cutting through my flesh.“ Arghh!” I growl for a while as my wolf tried to reduce the pain and make me heal faster.He pour my blood into a bowl and he finally let go of my wrist. I hold my wrist as I feel the pain, it begin to close up suddenly as the pain reduces.I watch Ravet shut his eyes closed as he begin to mutter some words that I couldn’t understand. Then he lift the bowl containing my blood up as though he is doing some witchcraft that I still do not know yet.Once he is done, he throws the bowl to the ground as the blood splashes all over the floor.“ What are you doing?” my eyes widen as I didn’t expect that. And suddenly I begin to feel strange heat from the insi
Scarlet POVI heard his voice all the way from my dream as though I was having a nightmare, causing me to snap my eyes open.I suddenly wake up to see that he is reading while he sits on the table close to the window.My hair is quite a mess, as it’s all over my body. I narrow my eyes as I try to adjust to the morning sunlight.When my eyes are completely open, I see that I’m totally naked in bed, and the only thing giving me coverage was the thick white blanket.Damnit. I grit my teeth as I feel so much hatred for myself. My stomach churned from so much sick feeling and the fact that I woke up naked in his damn bed.This is the biggest mistake of my life, and I better think of a way to get out of the mess. How do I even want to do that because I’m fucking clueless and feel like I’m trapped here forever?Or how the fuck do I explain everything to Noah? How would he believe me after I had allowed another man to touch me? Gosh, he would look at me with disgust and hate me like shit."S
Scarlet POV I think I shouldn’t have asked Ravet to teach me about spells yesterday, and now I don’t know what to do because he expects us to consummate our marriage, and I do not want any of that. I grab my white towel as I step out of the bathtub and wrap it around my body. I slide into a light red night gown and wear some fragrances while I sit in front of the mirror. I’m going out to spend some time with Tiana and Katherine; it wouldn’t be bad if I asked them some questions about the leader of the coven. Was there any benefit to their wives? They must be. Just as you are the wife of an Alpha, when he marks you, you possess some powers that he does. I turn off the light in my bedroom and step out. I walk slowly in the hall as it is a bit dark and it is just past 7 p.m. I know Ravet wouldn’t be in his room by now. He has business to attend to, and he still needs to entertain most of the visitors that came for the party. As I walk, I hear some noises coming from my right, and t
Scarlet POVI begin to walk inside the library between the library shelves as the light comes up.I’ve been trying to figure out how to start learning the spell or Latin, and I just have to do it real quick because I’m sick and tired of this place. I fucking can’t wait to leave!I stomp my feet hard on the floor as I complain in my head. Shit, the sharp pain in my head increases after what I just did. How can I forget so soon that my head has been in a worse condition?I pack my gown into one side; it’s quite long and thick, and it makes me so uncomfortable. Especially when I have to walk a little fast and smart.I’m sure Ravet is still sleeping in the bedroom after last night’s party, and if he should be awake anytime soon, then I will be doomed, and that means that I might not be able to read voluminously today.Whatever way I need to get started, I climb through one of the chairs that I spotted beside a table, since I do not have the patience to find a ladder around. I go up on the
Scarlet POVI wake up with the worst headache ever. My head is pounding heavily and I open my eyes. The bright sun shines into it and I groan, looking away from the bright beams. I stand up and get out of my bed.I head to the bathroom. I am still in the black dress that Katherine and Tiana prepared and helped me wear the previous night.I look at my face in the mirror and even though my makeup is intact, I still somehow look like crap. I run my hands through my hair and wonder what the heck is going on with me.I brush my teeth, take a cold bath, do my daily routine and head out into the room again. My headache somehow gets better but it is still there and my head is still throbbing. I walk into the closet and pick the simplest of all the elegant dresses that are hanging up in the closet.I stuff my body into a corset and all the whole I am doing it, I am complaining bitterly under my breath. I know I am going to have to endure this shit for a long while more. It irritates me but the
