Scarlett grinned and kept looking at her dress, still unable to believe she would one day rule the supernatural. Two months ago, she would have said no to the question of whether the supernatural existed, but today, she is attending a party where the supernatural would be in abundance."Scarlett, don't be so happy. Raven will come out tonight, so get ready to endure the suffering."Cornelia chewed on her chips while crossing her legs over one another. It continued to make loud noises, and Scarlett occasionally gave her a look of annoyance. "I think you should just tell her to hold up until the night is over.""I don't think that is how it works, Cornel." Avery said.As she moved in their direction, Scarlett sighed. She sat down and took their hands in hers. "Whatever happens today, I am glad that I have you guys as my friends. You are a real supporter.""My eyes are watering, but I don't want to cry." Avery gave Cornelia a tight hug after she spoke."I will be fine, guys. Don't worry.
"You have no idea how wonderful my life was before you made me one of you!" Scarlett yelled, tears welling in her eyes. "I'd rather not be here. I want my life and my family back!" She made a turn to leave. Her hand was held by him as he made her stop on her tracks.She yanked her hand out of his grasp and started to walk away."Scarlett, Scarlett!" He growled her name.Ignoring him, Scarlett kept on walking. He gripped his fist tightly. He won't feel bad about making her one of his. Anyone would have begged for the life he had given to her.…2 Hours Ago…"Are you ready?" Simon asked Scarlett as they made their way to the pack house. She could see the disco light coming through the big house. And also music was playing.She nodded. "Yes. I am. I can't wait any longer." she took her gaze off of him and back at the pack house. Tonight, she takes her place in the pack and she will get the revenge she deserves. She linked her hand into Simon's and they both walked into the pack house.Ev
"I just want to get out of here." Raven said."I'm so sorry." Scarlett apologized again and turned to leave but was stopped. When she turned around, the man was looking at her."You are the only one different here and by how strong your aura is, I can guess that you are new here.""Yes. I am." Scarlett observed him for a while. "I guess you are part of the elders.""How did you know?"Scarlett laughed a little. "I heard a lot about this place." Scarlett looked around then back to the man. "Have you seen Simon? The Alpha?""Do you call him Simon?" Viggo asked. He wondered who the girl was. She doesn't look like a born wolf to him. He waited as he saw Scarlett's reaction. "Of course, you do.""He is my date for tonight. Where…" she turned around again and this time, she could see Simon coming towards them. "There you are. Where did you go?""I see that you two have met." Simon looked at his uncle with a smile. He didn't intend that they meet like this. He had wanted them to meet at the
Raven growled at him angrily as he approached her. He is the alpha so why should he be scared of her. He was still perplexed about how it was possible to be a white wolf. Raven was the only white wolf that ever existed."You also want to have my uncle killed? Who are you?"Raven kept on growling. She didn't know why but she can't seem to hurt him even though she wants to. He had hurt Scarlett and without Scarlett, she won't be able to go on with her plans to have Viggo dead.The minute she jumped on Simon, she got pushed to the other side. He was strong even when he hadn't transformed. Simon turned to look at her with anger in his eyes. "Who are you?" He asked again."Olivia." Raven said, approaching him again. Even though she doesn't want to hurt him, she has to. She has to get revenge for Scarlett. Only then will Scarlett be able to trust her enough to make use of her body for her own gain."You are not Olivia." Simon raced towards her and as she tried to jump on him again, he trans
As she entered her room through her window, Scarlett groaned. She was unclothed. Avery and Cornelia came running and assisted her in getting to bed. Her head was placed on the pillow, and she was wrapped in her blanket."She is trembling. Deactivate the air conditioner." said Avery. Cornelia hurried back to Scarlett after finishing what Avery had said."Not even midnight has passed yet. Raven had already left her body." After she looked at the time, Cornel said. Normally, Scarlett should have returned home the next day but the time is still eleven. Cornelia started to worry. She was sure something had really happened. She could see Scarlett's condition as she fixed her focus on her. With her eyes closed, Scarlett appeared terrified. "Do you think something happened to her?""She has to inform us before we find out," Avery looked at Scarlett. "She appeared scared and frail." While Scarlett dozed off, she adjusted the blanket over her body.When morning came, the two of them were the fi
"Scarlett. Wait." As she stumbled into a pile of leaves, Raven rushed to her. "We have to go back."Scarlett whirled around to face Raven. "I believe I enjoy being here. You ought to return.""If you keep running away from reality, it won't do you any good."Scarlett scowled. "You mean you? Now I understand why you asked me not to reveal your identity to Simon. Finding Luna Agatha's traitors and having them put to death was your goal the entire time, right? like Simon's Uncle?""I apologize for not telling you. It was in your best interests.""Why? Because you believe I wouldn't be able to take the reality that you are carrying out all of this as retaliation?"Raven groaned. "You know. If you don't get up, I'll take control of your body and use it whatever I choose. Is that what you want?"As she looked up at the sky, Scarlett supported herself by placing her two hands beneath her head. She was unwilling to leave because the sun was shining directly in her face. No hunger in this drea
"Are you okay?" Avery walked towards her. "You are in your room, Scarlett."Scarlett sat up. "Oh. I guess I am back to reality." when she was in the dream world. She felt warmness in her hands which shouldn't be possible. That was when she had a feeling that something was happening to her in reality. When she turned, she was stunned to see Mace. "What are you doing here?""I called him to come over since you refused to wake up.""How are you feeling?" Mace asked. He knew that she had overslept because she didn't want to come back here."I am fine. Thanks for asking." She noticed Mace's hand in hers and immediately took hers away. That means it was his hand she felt. He was the reason she had woken up.Mace stood to his feet. "I guess I should take my leave now that you are doing fine."Scarlett looked up at him and nodded. "Thank you very much for coming over." She gave him a smile. Maybe it doesn't have to be about Simon after all. Mace has been so good to her. Maybe the reason why h
Something woke Scarlett up before daylight. It was an alarm in her mind that alerted "danger." Scarlett didn't know why, but she had wondered why she would wake up before her alarm. It had never before happened. Without arousing any of her friends, she got out of bed and went to the window. A strong breeze blew her way as she opened her window."Why am I even awake at this time? Not even dawn has broken yet." She returned to her bed and went to sleep. When the hour hit seven, her alarm went off. Scarlett rose from her bed. It wasn't at all comfy, but she sensed something inside. Her body has been trying to warn her about danger for reasons she cannot explain.The sound of the phone starting to ring can be heard downstairs. That phone hadn't received a call for a long time. Scarlett walked downstairs when the phone kept ringing and no one came to answer it. She heard footsteps as she was making her way to the phone and turned around to find Mia approaching her.When Scarlett picked up
"Simon. You can't die." She set him on the ground. "I know you're hearing me, and you can't die. I will save you. Okay? I will heal you." She held his hand and looked up at the sky. There was no way she could save him. Everything will be over if she is too late. Scarlett began to cry, but abruptly stopped when she remembered something. She gasped. "The red water." She began to laugh. "Simon, the red water will save you." She stood up and attempted to pick him up again, but he was quite heavy. Scarlett dragged him instead, and as she walked further, the light of a car flashing in her face caused her to come to a halt."Scarlett." October dashed up to her. "Scarlett.""Mom, Mom, Mom." Scarlett left Simon and hugged October. "If I don't save him, he'll die.""You will then save him." Belly said as she ran up to her.Cornelia, Avery, and Mia rushed to her, and Scarlett told everyone her plan of using the holy water on him to get rid of the wolfsbane in his heart. They helped Simon into th
The burial rights for Mace and the rest of the deceased werewolves were performed the moment the moon surfaced over the clouds. Simon poured himself a cup of whiskey and drank it before pouring it over the fire to put it out. Scarlett locked her gaze on him, smiling with the reassurance that she would be there for him whenever he needed it.Simon was curious about Adolpha and Anton's whereabouts. They never showed up for anything. He sighed. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.""I understand how you feel, Simon. I completely do. Good job in completing this ritual."Simon turned to the pack. "I appreciate everyone's presence. It means a lot that we're all here for our brothers and sisters who died in the fight. We will only go forward from now..." Following a gunshot, a scream was heard, cutting Simon off. He fixed his gaze on Scarlett. "Was that a...""Gunshot," Scarlett finished. "The hunters." She took a look around and could hear murmurs. "Everyone relax," she said."Cyph
"Tonight is a full moon, Father. When do you decide to launch an attack on the territory?" Augusta inquired as they both entered the room filled with weapons.Philip let out a groan. "I can't believe my own family has lied to me.""I warned you that marrying October to Edward was a bad idea. You didn't listen."Philip reached for a rifle. He positioned it and displayed it as if he were shooting something. As he lowered the assault rifle, he made a low groan with a smirk on his face. "We're going to attack tonight, Augusta. Shoot any werewolves you come across.""And what do we do when we find Scarlett? I doubt you mean to hurt your own granddaughter.""Don't hurt her. Just make sure she is tamed. I'll consider her family and lock her up in a lab somewhere in Massachusetts.""She is part of our family, father. She deserves to be treated as such.""She's no longer a member of my family. I'll simply refrain from killing her because Edward, my son, was her father. Ever since the venom bec
Scarlett let out a gasp as she dashed through the woods. When she heard her grandfather's angry words, it came along with the realisation that he knows who she is. But how did he discover this? Scarlett's only thought as she ran in the cold night and almost full moonlight was to go to the territory to meet Mace and stay there for the time being for safety. She tried to catch her breath and inhaled deeply, but suddenly covered her nose when she smelled something bad.Rogues.Scarlett entered through the gate, but there were no guards stationed at the entrance. She took a look around and noticed how dry everything was. Where has everyone gone? She pondered. The packhouse was her first stop. She could smell blood when she arrived, and it was as desolate as a desert. She attempted to mindlink Mace, but it did not work. Scarlett sighed as she approached Simon's mansion and smelled the scent of werewolves.Simon must have kept them all in his house for their own safety. Speaking of which, s
Adolpha could now see the large mansion. She approached it and came to a halt. She took a deep breath as she stared down at the business card that had been handed to her an hour and a half ago. For her brother, she was willing to do anything. When she heard the sound of the door opening and saw Augusta, she raised her head."You are early." Augusta smirked."Where is my brother?""Slow down. Come inside. We'll let you see your brother if you tell us how to get into werewolf territory.""I'm not sure what kind of game you're playing. You wanted the Alpha. Don't you?" Augusta nodded. "Then why are you so desperate to enter my territory?""Just come along. We'll discuss it over biscuits and tea." Augusta took the lead. Adolpha came to a halt as she approached the entrance. "Oh. Wolfsbane." Augusta swept it away with a broom. She pushed open the door, making room for Adolpha to enter.Adolpha took a deep breath as she walked deeper into the mansion. The only thing she could smell were hum
"There are far too many of them, Simon." As he struck down one of the rogues, Mace said. They'd been fighting for over seven hours, and it seemed like the rogues were never going to stop. The more they kill, the more rogues there are."We have to keep fighting, Mace. We can't give up now." Simon said as the two of them backed up against each other, striking down the oncoming werewolf. The wolves surrounded Mace and Simon, staring into each other's eyes and growling angrily. "If you get tired, tell your wolf to switch places with you." Simon added.Simon's attention was drawn to the sound of rattled bones coming from outside the surrounding werewolves. Simon then heard howling and pawed the ground nervously. The scent of this particular wolf made Devil shiver. "What is the problem?" Simon asked Devil."The odour from Scarlett's school. Looks like he is here."Simon began to recognise that smell. "You are right. It is really strong. Are you telling me that I have an enemy of this kind t
"What exactly do you mean, Cypher?" Simon asked."They had the odour of rogues. There are far too many of them.""That is not possible. Even rogues are barred from entering this territory." Simon said. "But if they did, then I shall get rid of them. Mindlink the remaining warriors and have them transport everyone from the pack house to the mansion. This location should keep them safe." Simon moved his gaze to Mace. "I think we have somewhere to be, Gamma. Scarlett's situation can be discussed later.""I find it hard to believe that they were able to come in here. That is something impossible.""If you ask me, I believe someone on the inside tipped off this place." Simon reached for his clothes and put them on."And who do you believe it is?""I'm not sure, but I just want to get rid of them so I can go on with my party. Come on." Simon said as they exited his room. Simon was shocked to see the living room in such a disorganised state upon entering. He shrugged and grabbed a bra he had
"Please don't do this. Simon, Simon, Simon." Scarlett's voice began to fade, and instantly, she was jolted awake. She took a look around and noticed how familiar the room was. A sigh escaped her lips. "Great. He brought me back home." Scarlett rolled onto her back, her gaze fixed on the ceiling. She exhaled deeply before removing the bed sheet that had been covering her legs.Scarlett sat up and looked at the time. When she walked to her closet, her door opened. Avery and Cornelia dashed in, already dressed in their uniforms. "Good morning, Scarlett."Scarlett was taken aback when she saw both of them. "Why are you…"Cornelia cuts her off. "Dressed in school uniforms?" She chuckled. "School, Scarlett. Have you forgotten?""I believe she has." Avery walked over to Scarlett's bed and sat down. She smiled as she looked up at Scarlett. "She is married now, Cornelia. She believes she is no longer required to attend school."Of course! Her friends have no idea what happened between her and
Scarlett hummed softly as she gently washed her body with rose-scented water. The thought of Simon kissing her a few hours earlier was so hard to get out of her brain. Scarlett chuckled softly as she left the water. She grabbed her robe and exited the bathroom.The room was exactly as she had left it. Simon hadn't returned yet. Scarlett decided to go look for him in her robe. They weren't able to spend the night together on the night of her wedding, but they would this time. She looked through the library and the office, but he wasn't there. If he had gone to bring the item he had mentioned to her, it had to be in his old room.She stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and placed a knock on it. "Simon. Are you in there?" There was no response. Scarlett knocked once more. "Simon?" When there wasn't any response, she placed her hand on the door knob and gently opened the door. She peered in and saw Simon sitting sadly on the chair. His thoughts were elsewhere.Scarlett flung o
