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
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
