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

    Kellan seemed to sense a familiar presence in the restaurant, and when he looked up from his meal to scan the room, he found Scarlett standing at the entrance with his brother, Negan.He could barely believe his eyes. He had never expected to see Scarlett here, especially not with his brother.He had no idea their relationship had become so serious. Suddenly, Negan wrapping his hand around Scarlett's shoulder earlier that day made sense.Despite warning her about his brother, she seemed to have turned a deaf ear and went ahead to be with him.Annoyance burned inside him, but he managed to hide it as he tapped his fork against the plate rhythmically.Negan noticed Kellan's gaze fixed on him and Gemma's table. He strolled toward them, holding Scarlett's hand tightly."You came here with your mate, brother," Negan flashed a smirk."As you can see," Kellan's voice came out low and annoyed."Well, I came here with Scarlett," Negan continued, clearly enjoying provoking his brother.

    Scarlett felt like a searing blade had pierced her chest when the king yelled at her, causing her to step back.She bowed her head to the ground."I asked you a question, and I am expecting an answer!" Kellan's voice thundered once more in the room. Scarlett looked up, ready to speak, when Negan stepped in front of her, shielding her from his brother's death glares."You should take it easy on her. I'm sure nobody would harm an untriggered person," Negan defended her, and she felt her heart warm a little."Step back, Negan," Kellan growled at his brother, clearly displeased that he was standing in his way. "I am not talking to you, and this is none of your business, so move out of my way."Negan stepped aside. Kellan was the king, and even though he was his brother, Negan knew better than to incur the king's wrath."Apologize to Gemma this moment," Kellan turned to Scarlett as he commanded her.Scarlett could not believe her ears! Had he just asked her to apologize to Gemma without ev

    Negan's eyes held amused looks as he stared at Scarlett, wondering what she was talking about. For some reasons, he allowed her imaginations to continue running wild as he smiled at her, replacing the amused look in his eyes with a caring one."What made you ask me that?" He asked, turning fully to face her.Scarlett blinked, searching his face, trying to guess the answer to her question."No.... nothing. I...just felt there could be a connection between us, and I was wondering if you could be someone I was expecting." She mumbled an awkward reply.Negan chuckled, and was about replying when it started to drizzle. "Oh no. I don't think the gods wants us to continue this conversation. I think it's time we head back to the pack. I don't want your boss thinking I've stolen you." He said and chuckled again.Scarlett smiled back, and sighed. She couldn't help but think about the situation with Gemma and the Alpha."Yeah. We should head back." Scarlett agreed, picking herself up from where

    Gemma got into her room, her limbs shaking. She paced to and fro with a furious look on her face."No. No. You need to leave, Scarlett. There's no way I'm gonna let you stay here, and destroy my plans to be with the king." She breathed heavily, and walked straight to her dresser to pick up her phone, and dialled Rolf's line.Few seconds after the second ring, the line was connected."Gemma. Are you okay? You should be sleeping by now." Rolf said from the other end.Gemma scoffed, and shook her head. "Who sleeps when their roof is on fire?" She retorted."Okay. What is it this time? I guess this "fire" you are talking about has a name.""Of course, it has a name! You need to come up with plans on how I can get Scarlett out of the pack. Urgently. If I don't do something, she's gonna ruin my plans of becoming the King's mate."Rolf sighed from the other line. "Can we talk about this tomorrow? Sleep for now, and calm your nerves. Then, tomorrow, you can calmly explain what happened to me

    He was dressed in his regalia which screamed wealth. A look at him was enough to know who he was.Zeke sat in the waiting room, his long legs crossed out in front of him. He'd been offered a bottle of wine with a glass cup by the side, but he hadn't touched it. He continued to look around, waiting for.who he wanted to see.Half an hour later, after sitting for what seemed like ages, Kellan finally emerged, looking like the King he was."Finally, King Kellan! For a minute, I thought you weren't gonna see me." Zeke said, standing up on his feet. He bowed his head slightly, a smile on his face."To what do I owe this early visit?, It's barely 9 o'clock in the morning." Kellan said icily, glaring at Zeke. The young man looked like a clown to him. Everything he'd heard about him crossed his mind, worsening Kellan's mood. However, Zeke was the son of a notable and well respected Alpha Maverick of the Darkmoon park. It was hard to turn him down. He walked to the opposite sofa, and sat down.

    Scarlett was shocked beyond words. 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
