The necklace felt eerily familiar, resembling the one she had lost in the presence of the white wolf who had come to her rescue that fateful night. Scarlett couldn't tear her gaze away from it.

A part of her was tempted to ask the King about the necklace and how it came into his possession, but who was she to question him? She had no right to demand any explanations from the King. He owed her nothing.

Scarlett remained rooted in place, her mind consumed with thoughts. The King shifted his attention from the drawer to his table, where several files were neatly arranged.

Seated at his study table, the King's eyes fell upon Scarlett, who still stood by the door. He moved the files to one side, preparing himself to address her.

"Scarlett," he called her name.

She straightened up, ready to comply with his request.

"My King," she responded with precision.

"You may sit," he gestured towards the other side of the table. Scarlett didn't want to waste any more of his time and quickly walked ove

    Rick sat with the King in his study room. They had been talking for a while. The issue of the rogues was still the topic of the day and they were trying to figure out a way to deal with them once and for all. They had so many problems on hand and the rogues trying to be an urgent one were what they had been trying to solve for hours.‘’Honestly My King, these rogues are extremely dangerous. We defeating them was just a tip of the iceberg. We don’t know what they have planned and when they would strike again. Just like what happened earlier. We were caught unaware.’’ Rick poured out everything on his mind.Kellan bobbed his head.‘’In what ways do you think we could curb or handle them?’’ The King asked once more. He was seeking to get Rick’s opinions."Perhaps, we should mount more guards to be on the lookout for them. And the next time any of them gets caught, they shouldn't be killed. Instead, they'd be brought in for questionings and made to reveal their hideout."‘’True’’ For a mo

    Kellan made his way out of the car when he saw Scarlett and strode towards her. Scarlett, not expecting his presence, looked up at him with surprise and sat up straighter, keeping the bottle of drink in her hand to her side.She did not know if he would be mad at her for being out here drinking or if he would be cool with it."Are you expecting someone?" Kellan asked, looking at her as if he was trying to piece a puzzle together."No, no, I came alone. I just needed some air and I went for a walk," Scarlett shook her head as she spoke, rubbing at the back of her neck awkwardly."Oh well," Kellan grunted as he settled on the pavement block beside Scarlett, taking her by surprise."You shouldn't be sitting here. I will ask the barman for a chair, my king," Scarlett moved to get up, astonished that the king was sitting on the bare floor. But Kellan's hand on her arm stopped her.She turned to look at him, a horrified expression still on her face. The softening of the king's face as he no

    Kellan stared at the guard who had come to pass on the information to him, disbelief flashing in his eyes for a moment."Are you certain about what you're saying?" Kellan asked, staring warily at his guard as he stood up from behind the desk."Yes, my king," the guard affirmed.Kellan stood there for a moment, his thoughts racing in his head. What information could the lady have to tell him?He made his way swiftly outside the door, with the guard trailing behind him, before he stopped abruptly and turned to face the guard."Tell her to meet me at the courtroom right away," he commanded, and the guard bowed in understanding before he quickly made his way outside the palace to fetch Iris.Kellan paced around the courtroom as he waited for Iris. He couldn't sit still, as his wolf was uneasy and jumpy with excitement.He stopped pacing abruptly when Iris walked into the courtroom timidly, her head bent low. She knew better than to stare directly into the king's eyes, especially when she

    Kellan stood there for a moment, his heart pounding with excitement, as he gazed at the lady in front of him.Happiness swelled inside of him, and he could hardly believe that he had finally met his mate again after what felt like an eternity of searching. Determination burned within him - this time, he was going to make sure she never left him again.He couldn't resist the overwhelming urge to be close to her, to feel her warmth and presence.Without hesitation, Kellan rushed towards her, his heart in his throat as he pulled her into a tight embrace. Her scent was unfamiliar. Something seemed slightly off.Could it be his mind playing tricks on him, or was there an underlying reason for the difference?Despite the uncertainty gnawing at him, he clung to her even tighter. But his wolf remained oddly quiet, and it puzzled Kellan.Ragnor, his loyal and boisterous wolf companion, had been the one incessantly pestering him to find their mate. So why was Ragnor so unusually silent now that

    Scarlett stood there, unblinking, like an antelope caught in the deer's light as she stared at Gemma.What was Gemma doing in the palace? And why was she with the king? And why had she dyed her hair red?Scarlett could hardly believe her eyes. Kellan's hand was wrapped around Gemma's shoulder as they walked in.When Gemma caught sight of her, she flashed an intimidating smirk, further confusing Scarlett.It felt like a dream she expected to wake up from soon.Gemma's new hair and eye color unsettled Scarlett. Gemma had always mocked her for her bright red hair and eyes, so why was she suddenly sporting the same colors?And why had Gemma given her that smile? It seemed like a triumphant smirk, as if she were saying, "I won again."The way Kellan's hand was wrapped around Gemma's shoulder was something Scarlett had never imagined seeing.She resisted the urge to call out to Gemma; she could not question the king. And she did not know why Gemma was here either, so she decided to hold her

    Kellan walked away from Gemma and settled onto the bed, shaking his head. He picked up his phone and dialed a number before pressing it against his ear, letting out a deep sigh."Come, I need you to show Gemma to her room," Kellan said into the phone before he disconnected it.He looked up to see Gemma staring at him with a downtrodden expression, and he felt guilt gnawing at him in his chest. He didn't mean to hurt her, but something didn't feel right, and he knew he couldn't keep it to himself. He needed to figure out what was wrong on his own."Is everything ok?" Gemma asked, disappointment still evident in her eyes."Yes, I just need a minute to sort out my emotions," Kellan replied without looking up at her."Are you sure? I'm sorry if I did anything wrong," Gemma apologized, a sad expression settling on her face."You didn't do anything wrong. Rick will be here to show you to your room soon," Kellan spoke, an air of finality in his tone that made Gemma remain silent.She watched

    Kellan looked from Scarlett to Gemma, attempting to gauge their emotions.The tense atmosphere in the room he had just entered gave a clear indication that the women were not at peace.And the way Scarlett's foot kept on tapping on the floor as she glared at Gemma who was gladly returning the glare said a lot."What is going on here?" Kellan fixed his gaze on Scarlett, who averted her eyes from Gemma, who she had been giving a death glare, and looked at him.Kellan could see her eyes soften, but the resent was still there and it made him wonder what Gemma could have done to provoke Scarlett's wrath."Nothing of concern, my king," Scarlett said, bowing her head in submission.Kellan passed a suspicious stare at them."Hopefully, that's the case. You may leave," Kellan said with a stern expression.Scarlett looked at him for a moment before she turned and walked out of the room, as Kellan had dismissed her.As he watched her leave, the hurt he had seen in her eyes when she glanced at hi

    Kellan walked into the dining room and settled into the chair as the maid placed his meal in front of him.He glanced at the plate before him and turned to a guard who stood nearby, ready to assist if needed."Fetch me my mate," he instructed, and the guard bowed before heading towards Gemma's room.It didn't take long before a beaming Gemma appeared in front of Kellan and took a seat at the table opposite him."Good morning, My king," she stuttered.It had been a day since her confrontation with Scarlett, and the embarrassment from that day still lingered in her mind."Morning, Gemma," Kellan's husky voice greeted her, and she bit her lip before catching herself and letting it go immediately."I hope you slept well, my king?" She asked, her voice still filled with excitement at being invited to breakfast by the king."I did. I know you did too," Kellan offered a weak smile, which she gladly returned with a wide one.Gemma was about to reply when the maids entered, carrying a tray of

Of course she knew she would be getting into a bigger trouble with the king but she never expected him to fire her it was shocking and the way he had said it, he sounded like he meant every single word.She starred at the door on able to move. She was glued to the spot, and could not command her feet into motion.When she finally was able to move, the door opened again, and kellan came back out."What are you still doing here? I thought I told you that you were fired with immediate effect."Go now, packup your things, because you are leaving first thing in the morning. Did you understand me?"Scarlet nodded, trying her best to stop the tears that had gathered in her eyes from falling off her eyelids." I will get going immediately. Once again, forgive me my King. I know I was wrong, I know I've disrespected you in many ways, I have not kept a single of the instruction that you gave to me."please forgive me. I will go get my things, and I will leave

    Negan led Scarlett into the car, and gave her one of the drinks he'd kept for future use."Stay here while I do something about the body." He spoke softly to her, smoothening her hair with his palm."What... what are you going to do to the body?" Scarlett asked."Don't worry about it. Just wait for me here." Negan said to her, and left in a hurry.Scarlett breathed in heavily, and stared down at her hands. The blood in her fingers had dried up, but she could still smell it, and it gave her the creeps."How did this happen to me? What did i become? How could I have killed a man like that?" Scarlett couldn't stop questioning herself. She felt bad. Terrible. Few minutes later, after sitting alone, she drifted into an uneasy sleep. *******************Kellan came out of the restroom, looking restless. His hair and face dripped of water, making it obvious he'd gone to wash up.He sat down on his bed, took one of the napkins in the drawer, and wiped his face with it.After that, he reache

    They ran out of the bus into the dark lonely night as though their body was on fire.The boys ran for dear lives like hell and crazy, and as they did,Scarlet did not stop even after they got out of the bus.She caught up with one of the boys, snatched him off the ground with her claws growing out of each fingers.Scarlett was totally crazy; she'd turned into a beast, unaware of what she was doing."Please, don't kill me! Let go of me!!" Ray cried, grasping the air with his arms as he tried getting away. The other boys scurried off, yelling and cursing as they did.Scarlett turned a deaf rat to Ray's cries. She plunged her claws deep into the skin around his eyes, scratching him until she came in contact with his naked cheekbones.Blood spurted, splashing all over the floor, and over Scarlett's body. Breathing like a ferocious beast, she hovered over Ray, and gripped him tightly by the neck.He struggled against her, tried fighting her off, but soon realized she was no match for her.

    Negan slowly placed the bottles back on the dresser, and moved few inches away from it.He placed his hands on his hips, looking awestruck. Glimmer's words crossed his mind, and the thought only paralyzed his leg.He sat on the bed, and buried his head between his palms."No. There's no way..." He paused and sighed. "If she's using hair dyes, does that mean she's...not on her real colour?" Negan questioned himself.There were too many coincidences that needed to be questioned. First, she had the same name has Glimmer's sister, she has fit in perfectly with Glimmer's description of his sister, and how, he had just found out she made use of dies."I've got to find out what's going on. I need to know if Scarlett is the woman in the prophecy." He muttered with a determined look on his face. He picked up the bottles of she, and put them in the drawer before leaving the room. ******************Scarlett got to the royal market, and was alarmed at the outrageous prize of things. She was ho

    "Scarlett? Are you there? Scarlett?" Negan's voice sounded in her ear, waking her up from her trace."Huh...yes, Negan?""Did you hear me?"Scarlett's fingers trembled as she took in a deep breath. Did the prince find out about her strange embarrassing colour?"N...no. why did you ask me that?" She stuttered, her heart beating fast against her chest."Nope. Nothing. I just wanted to know." Negan replied."Okay, okay. I see. But... okay. It's fine." Scarlett replied, deciding it was best she didn't talk more on it."I will see you later then?" Negan asked."Yeah, of course..." Scarlett heard the door opening from behind, and quickly said her goodbyes to Negan before cutting the line."Why did you cut your call?" Kellan asked, coming towards the bed."I just finished my conversation. That was why I cut the call, my king.""It was Negan, wasn't it?"Scarlett paused for a while before nodding. "Yes, it was.""He would never learn how to stop calling you when you're working." Kellan mutte

    "Scar?" Negan asked, glaring at Glimmer. He looked away, his face a mask of concentration. "Why does that sound familiar?""Familiar?" Glimmer asked, peering into his face. "Do you know anyone by that name?"Negan placed his hands under his chin, and slowly shook his head. "No. Not Scar. But Scarlett.""That's my sister's name. Scarlett." Glimmer replied.Negan gawked at Glimmer, looking lost. "Scarlett?" He asked after a long while of silence.Glimmer nodded with a little frown on his face. He couldn't understand why Negan looked so fixated on him."Do you know anyone by that name?" He asked."I do. The lady I know by that name is the King's personal guard and assistant, but then, there are many other Scarletts all over the world."Glimmer nodded, losing any hope he could have had. "Yes, master. That's true.""Can you... describe your sister for me?" Negan asked, capturing Scarlett in his foresight.Glimmer smiled with a faraway look in his eyes. "Oh, master." He chuckled as he pause

    Scarlett walked straight into Kellan's room with both her eyes closed, and her head, slightly sucked.Amazed, Kellan moved to a side, allowing her access into the room. He watched as she walked in, and walked straight to the front of the sofabed, and slept on the floor in front of it."My goodness. Does...she sleepwalk?" He asked himself, almost laughing. He couldn't remember the last time he was amused."She sleepwalks. It's obvious." Ragnor laughed from within.Ignoring his wolf's voice, he walked stealthily towards Scarlett who was now on the floor, sleeping with all comfort."I can't believe this. She's strong, and yet, fragile." He observed."Are you gonna pick her up? I get excited whenever you touch her! I get all dizzy-wizzy!" Ragnor laughed, and got ignored again.Kellan moved more close, and crouched down on one knee. He scooped Scarlett up in his arm, and carried her to the bed.Gently, he laid her there, and covered her up with the duvet, then relaxed back at the other sid

    Scarlett's words felt like a sharp slap in the face. Kellan stared at her for as long as she could remember, making her more uncomfortable than she already was."You're dating?" Kellan asked when he finally found his voice. He did his best not to sound too shocked.Scarlett nodded. "Yes, my king. I'm...sorry I didn't tell you earlier."Kellan looked away from her, and snorted. He couldn't help it. "I see you decided to ignore my warning after all." He got up from where he sat, and turned his back on her.Scarlett closed her eyes. She felt terribly bad, because she knew she'd just lied to the king."I... accepted the prince's proposal, because ever since I got here, he's been so nice to me. I didn't see any reasons why I should...heed your warning, my king.""Yes. Sure, of course. Anyways, it's actually none of my business. You might be my personal assistant, but there's nothing between us asides from that. You have every right to do whatever you want with your life without any explana

    Negan stared back at Scarlett waiting desperately for her to say something."What? Aren't you gonna say something? This isn't the first time I'm telling you that I want you to be mine.""I... didn't think you were this serious. I didn't know you would be this jealous over me?" Scarlett gasped.Negan moved closer to her, glaring deep into her eyes. "I'm not only jealous, Scarlett. I'm mad at Kellan for taking you out so late in the night.""Don't address the king like that, my prince." Scarlett whispered, turning to glance back."Well, isn't that his real name? I called him that while we were growing up." Negan retorted."It's hard to imagine that you actually grew up the king. You two are so different from each other.""We didn't just spend our childhood days together, I was always snuggling up to him."Scarlett's jaw dropped. "What? I can't imagine you doing that!" She couldn't help but laugh."Yes. That and much more. I was always crying after him. One day, he left home without even
