Scarlet POVI was reading a story to Michelle when I felt Noah is in pain through the mating bond.“ Noah?” I call through mind-link, what is going on? I thought it was a meeting but I could feel so much pain that my heart squeezes.“ Where are you?!” I growl in the bedroom, causing Michelle to look startled, then she begin to panic as I become restless.“ Noah?!” I growl again, the pain was stronger this time that he could not ignore it, even though he wishes to behave as though he didn’t hear me.“ I’m okay, Scarlet.” He tells me through the bond, but I can perceive a lie there. He is trying to lie, what’s wrong with him?He said he was going to take some days for the meeting and the is the only reason I had to spend the nights alone without him.“ Baby, I’m sorry I will be back soon.” I grab Michelle’s tiny hands as she looks at me with worried eyes. I couldn’t wait to listen to her so I kiss her forehead and begin to run for the door.“ Scarlet be careful!” that was her scream as
Scarlet POVI focus back on the road after I wipe off the tears from my face. Now I have to find Noah, I can find him through his scent but I’m not feeling it.“ Where are we going?” Janet asks as she watch my eyes getting reddish as confusion swirls in the pit of my eyes.“ I don’t know, Janey.” I look at her, feeling miserable. I understand that Noah must be truly hurt but I’m not there to make him feel better. Instead he didn’t come home, he didn’t tell me about what has happened to him.“ Do you want us to do something to call him? I know that Noah doesn’t want to ever see you hurt or get you hurt.” She puts her hand on my other free hand.“ What is that?” I ask with a crack voice.“ I think it’s a bad idea because I can’t see you go through pain as well. But what I have in mind, is getting yourself injured and he feels that you are not okay then he comes running to find you.” She suggests and I see that she is already rejecting her opinion by staring too long at my eyes.I don’t
Scarlet POV“ Hey what you doing?” Janet yells as soon as I rush out of the car and begin to run so fast through the stairs.“ I’m leaving!” I shout in a loud tone, my anger only showing through the veins in my neck.“What?! You are going too far!” She yells at me as she snatches my hand away from the door knob.“ He’s the one going too far. He wants to start a war! Do you know what that means?” I growl back, making her look startled at my anger.“ Calm down, Scarlet.” She pleads, still holding my hands. I calm my nerves by shutting my eyes closed while I try to breathe.“ I’m calm, but I won’t stay here and watch him prepare for a war that I do not approve. And thank God I have not accepted to be the Luna yet so he can do whatever the fuck he likes! I don’t care!” I flare my hands up, causing her to stumble back as she takes her hands off.“ Are you sure you don’t care? You love Noah, and I’m sure you do care.” Janet says with a calm voice as though trying to manipulate my decision.
Noah POVI clench my fist harder as I couldn’t stop her from leaving. For the first time I felt like I let her slip out of my hands!I had a reason not to stop her. It was better she left than partake in this war. I knew she would never have agreed to it because Scarlet was always all about peace even though you had wronged her.She was always rooting for peace but in this case, peace is not an option. It’s the time to put Alpha Dave in his place and for disregarding me.I stop following her as I turn around to head for Michelle’s room. Scarlet was still quite smart despite the pain she was feeling.She had indirectly told Michelle to quit reading those books and I was amazed at her smart skills. I’m going to miss her so much but it is for the best, I wouldn’t want any harm to come to her.I place my knuckles on the door and begin to knock. I knock twice before I begin to hear her tiny footsteps approaching the door.“ Noah?” her eyes widen. I understand what she meant by that express
Noah POV“ It never occur to me that Alpha Dave would be using your sister to get back at you. No wonder she has not come to see you, to end the war already. He must have told her something else.” Michaels fist is still clench and I watch as he emits aggressive energy as he fumes in anger.“ I never liked him since I saw him.” I chuckle in mystery as I reflect back on the first time we met. I didn’t know this bastard was planning to use my sister all this while and the most annoying part is that she is blind to this fact!“ Indeed, the war is worth it because he has committed so many atrocities. He killed your dad, killed Scarlet’s dad and now he is manipulating your sister.” Michael lay emphasis on his sins. And it was funny that Scarlet wanted me to end this war after all this bastard has done.I think too much of your thoughtfulness makes you seem like a simp and I am not a fucking one! I’m Noah who is bold enough to face anything.“ I will join you in this war. I will help train s
Scarlet POVI barely said a word throughout the drive all the way from the mansion. I think all the emotions I’ve been feeling is just too strong for me to speak or cry out.Or maybe I’m still in shock that Noah would let me leave like that without compromising to stop the wall.I didn’t even know when we arrive in front of my house until Janet had to inform me about it. She also didn’t bother to speak to me, because she knew I needed enough time to process all of that. I stared outside the window all through.I step out of the car as I turn around to the boot to take my bags. Janet offered to help me out with it but I guess my response was quite cold. I didn’t let her touch the bag.“ I’m not going to the hostel, I will stay here with you.” She tells me from behind, I couldn’t show her how much excited I’m to have her around.“ That’s nice, Janey.” I say quietly and we begin to head towards the porch of my house.Janey walk forward and ring the bell on the door. I bite my bottom lips
Scarlet POVWalking away from the kitchen into the sitting room, I fall flat on the couch feeling numb.Alpha Dave had truly killed my dad? But why? I try to find so many reasons why he would kill my dad or how my dad got involved with him.Janet stands in front of me as she refuses to take her eyes away. I see her fear, probably scared of what I might become after all she just told me.I would have reacted if I wasn’t numb. I feel weak to my bones that I could barely speak. Have you ever been in some kind of shock that you don’t know how to feel about it?“ Hey, I know you haven’t eaten anything since morning, I will make you something to eat.” She strides out of the sitting room.Thinking about it, Noah is not wrong about the war. The only problem is that war is a very bad thing that could end a lot of lives.Isn’t there another way to this? I bite my bottom lips, thinking hard on this.“ Scarlet, could you help me out with the groceries please!” Janet screams my name all the way fr
Scarlet POV“ What the fuck are you doing here?” she yells as though she is about to throw a tantrum.“ Shh.. Supreme you need to calm down. I’m not here for any trouble.” I try to put my palm across her lips to fucking shut her mouth.Her screams could attract the guards and it wouldn’t be nice for me. She finally shut up when she sees the seriousness in my eyes. When I notice she is finally calm, I take her hands off her mouth.Then she barks, “ What are you doing here? Has Noah sent you to kill me?” She roars and her words are unbelievable. How could she be saying this about Noah as if there are enemies.“ What? How could you say such about your brother? Do you even know him at all?” I narrow my eyes at her in disbelief.“ What do you mean?” she never keeps her voice low and I get it. I’m sure she doesn’t know much about Noah, if she does then she wouldn’t utter such from her lips. Noah loves her so much that he is willing to protect her and his plan is to get rid of Dave from her
