Scarlet POV
I 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.
“ Yes. Come in and feel free.” His winsome smile spreads on his lips. I exhale slowly trying to be calm because there is a lot running through my head at the moment.
I settle down on the coach beside his desk, but refuses to take his eyes off me. The way he stared too long at me, got me nervous, pondering on the thoughts if I have some part of my body exposed.
I nervously drop my eyes to my breast and to my thighs, knowing that they are not exposed.
I’m on a red gown with a length to my knee, obviously not exposed to get that kind of flirtatious behavior from him. I take another glance at him but he still stares, causing me to feel uneasy.
“ Sir.. why did you call me here?” I rub my hands around my arms breathlessly.
He finally takes his eyes off me and sighs.. then comes up with a large smile again as if we have been something to each other.
“ First, I want you to call me Jack and not Sir.” He demands, smiling smugly at me. I hate the way he smiled that way at me, I mean , it doesn’t suit him because those kind of smiles should be for the younger boys not this middle aged man..
Those kind of smiles are perfect on Noah’s lips. I mean guys like Noah..
“ Sir.. please I can’t call you Jack. You are my teacher and I need to give you that respect.” I pout, trying not to show my irritation.
“ Then as your teacher.. it is an order to call me by my name.” his voice sterns. I stare stunned at him and mute.
“ Okay.. Jack.” I mumble.
“ Jack why am I here?” I raise my brow a little. Taking advantage of the privilege to call him by his name instead of sir.
“ Good. To talk about your rejection with Noah.” He heads straight to the point, which I far prefer but it’s a bit off that he wants to talk about the rejection with my mate.
I mean, how does that relate to him making me the President or prefect of the class? And calling me to his office?
“ I’m okay. He rejected me and that’s fine. Things happens.” I rush the conversation, so I can get out of this place already.
“ No, you are not okay. No female is okay when they get rejected by their mates. Besides I see them in those pretty blue eyes of yours.” He says flat out, rising on his feet as he approaches the couch where I am seated.
“ Scarlet… I know you are heart broken and you need someone.. to help you…” he comes in front of me as he begin to stare at my body like he did earlier.. Giving me this chills on my skin..
“ Let me help heal..” as he goes on to say, someone abruptly throws the door open without getting to knock.
“Goodness, at the perfect time.” I gasp. As if the person is aware that I needed to be out of this place immediately.
“ Scarlet!” the way she screams my name, tells that something is wrong. It’s Jane.
“ Don’t you have your manners? You can’t barged into my office without my permission.” He yells. There was anger in his tone, which got me scarier that this man might be …. Not good for me. He looks like the possessive type..and that’s wild.
“ I’m sorry , Mr Jack. Just that I need Scarlet for something urgent!” her voice loud, she doesn’t pay much attention to him , she just comes to pull me out of the couch.
“ Hey girl we need to leave!” She sounds like something happened, which is making my heart throb. Racing more than it was a moment ago when Mr Jack stared at way at me.
She push me out of the office and shuts the door behind us. She grabs my wrist and begin to run, now I’m so curious.. what’s going on with her?
We run to an extent and she stops, then she burst into a loud chortle as confusion dawns on me.
“ Did something happened?” My eyes wide, as I panicked.
“ No girl!” She screams, laughing loud as her blonde covers her face. She appears really cute with her fallen blonde hair as she chuckles.
I watch her funny gaze and quickly grasp a cue of what just happened. “ Wait… don’t tell me you purposely did that?” I stuff my laughter.. then chuckles..
“ Of course girl!” she chuckles.
“ Oh jeez. Smart. But how did you know I was there?” My brow climbs my face. Jane and I don’t have same class so she definitely would have no clue that I was at his office..
“ Well…Noah didn’t want to piss you off so he told me to help him out.” She speaks.
I frown as I don’t understand what she meant by that. “ what do you mean help him out?” I frown, that weird odd stares comes up on my face again whenever I hear his name. The rejection seem to have messed me up mentally.
“ See.. I think.. he still cares about you..” Jane’s eyes looks serious as she speaks.
I feel my chest tightens when I hear that, “ No, Jane, please do not say something like that to me. I have nothing to do with Noah anymore.. He rejected me for Bella and that’s fine.” I shun her, rolling my eyes.
“ Let’s go home please, I’m already so tired.” I grumble. As we turn to walk towards the hall way, I caught sight of him.. just staring right at me. He stares at me with curious eyes. And shit, I don’t care to know why.. but he looks like he has something to say to me, and I’m not interested to know or speak to him anymore.
Jane pauses when she sees him too. Thinking, we both going to talk, to her surprise I hasten my step to avoid him..
I see how rage fills his eyes all of a sudden as soon as I avoided him. “ Scarlet.” He calls my name, his tone low but full of emotions and it baffles me.
“ Scarlet, we need to talk.” He says in a haste and I halt my step.
“ We have nothing to talk about.” I say immediately with no hate, just.. shutting him out.
“ Scarlet..” his voice skips, as if his lips are suddenly dry as he attempts to speak.
I have nothing to say, I really do not have anything to do with him anymore.
I walk away, knowing that my steps are slow I begin to run.. running back to my hostels. Jane screams my name as she runs along with me , but I don’t stop.
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
Noah POVI still don’t believe, Riva tried to forcefully mark my mate. How daring of him.Riva is not the only best friend I have, we are like a crew, four of us. But I’m closest to Riva because I felt he understands me the most and we have always been together.It’s a little dark, I’m saturated with anger after I dropped Scarlet off. I promised her that I would tell her what is going on after I sort out my shit.I’m still scared that I might hurt her because of the trauma. Since my mom’s experience I’ve been a fucking playboy, it’s always the reason I go for girls like Bella. But Scarlet is all different and I don’t know how to still explain it to her why I rejected her.I know it won’t make any senseIt might not make any senseBut I feel I want to take her slowIf I ever want to be real with her I have to be staying away or take her slow, but for now I’m out of an option to pick.I’m trying to calm myself down with this vodka, I don’t want a case that I would badly hurt Riva, becau
Scarlet POVI lay flat on my bed as I think about what happened yesterday. I loved that he promised to speak with me. But can I trust that? Why would he even reject me and still won’t let me be?Still doesn’t allow someone else to have me?I’m so sick of this confusion. I wish he would truly explain all these to me. I wish he would create time for us. To clear all this mixup.I cross my legs on the bed and just stare at the ceiling in my room, when I heard the Snapchat notification sound. I have a message.I grab my phone beside the pillow I’m laying my head on.Sarah: Hey, it’s me Sarah. I’m having a birthday party tonight can you make it?I read as I bite down the bottom of my lips. Wondering why she would be inviting me. I thought I’ve been unnoticed since I am a new student.Scarlet: Uhm.. I don’t think so.I click send, but then she is replying immediately.Sarah: Why not? I will love to have you there. Besides, Noah would be coming.I heard another notification and quickly chec
Noah POVFuck, I couldn’t stop Bella from saying all those shit to her and she didn’t even give me the chance to speak before walking out on us.“ You know you shouldn’t have spoken to her that way right?” I ask her as we finally find a seat, anyway from the loud hall. She made an effort to make me stick with her today and nobody else would interfere. It pisses me off.“ Huh? But it was the truth?” She sneers as she pour some wine into the empty glass that lies in front of me.“ Bella, she fucking didn’t even say a shit to me.” I feel irritated at her self-defense.“ Noah, reduce your voice you are shouting at me.” She looks sideways to see if anyone heard me yelling at her. But I don’t care, I’m only after how she made Scarlet felt back there in the hall.“ Bella I’m not trying to yell at you. I’m saying that was rude to Scarlet. She mean no harm.” I calm down but my anger is still burning inside.“ No she does! How do you expect me to be calm, she is your destined mate and it makes
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
