"Did you hear what I said just now?" Kellan asked, looking at Gemma."Yes, yes, I did. Okay. Who am I to say no if that's really what you want?" Gemma said in a rush, smiling.Kellan smiled back. "I don't want us to go there together. We must arrive at different times.""Whatever you say, my King." Gemma replied. "When do you want us to leave?""Tonight. Once the half moon is up in the sky." Kellan replied.Gemma nodded, still smiling. She bowed, turned and left the room. Outside the door, she placed her hand on her chest, trying to steady how fast it was moving."What am I gonna do?" Gemma asked, anxiety eating deep into her. She walked briskly away, heading straight to her room for the only solution in her head. ***************It was almost dark when Scarlett finally was able to step into her room. She walked in, closed the door behind her, and inhaled the welcoming scent that sipped into her nostrils."I can finally say something!" Alexa's voice suddenly came out, almost start
Gemma paced in her room, fidgeting with her fingers in a nervous way. She picked up her cellphone, and dialed Rolf's line. He picked up at the fourth ring."I'm in a big trouble once again, Rolf." She said as soon as the line was connected.But no response came. Gemma frowned, and stared down at the screen of the phone before placing it back on her ear."Rolf? Are you there?""Have you checked the time, Gemma? My goodness, it's almost 9pm! I need to sleep!""Okay, okay! Stop shouting at me. You have no right to do that." Gemma warned."What do you want now?" Rolf groaned.Gemma explained what the King had asked her to do, and asked for help. "I don't know what place that is. The woods is a very wide place. How do I know exactly where he met with that bitch on the first night?""Hold on. I think I know where that is."Gemma's eyes widened, a glint of hope rising in her eyes. "Are...you serious right now?""Will I be joking with you at this time of the night? I need to sleep, man.""Ok
By the time Negan broke the kiss, Scarlett was breathless. She had a shocking expression in her eyes as she stared into face."Why...why did you do that?" She stuttered."Well, because you looked so lovely, and I wanted to." Negan said huskily with a flirtatious smile on his face.Scarlett shook her head, and quickly rose up on her feet. "I... think I have to go in now. I need to wake up early for tomorrow's duty."Negan stared up at her, slightly embarrassed by her reaction. "Okay...okay. I under it's late. Goodnight.""Yes, goodnight!" Scarlett breathed, turned and disappeared.Negan stared after the exit she took, and cursed under his breath. Did he go overboard with her? He smacked his hand against his head, and cursed again. Half an hour later, he picked himself up, packed up the soda cans, and walked into the building. *******************Scarlett walked towards her room, her hands shaking visibly. She tried not to think about the kiss she'd shared with the prince, but it was
"Ryan. Come over to the pack when you're done from the office." Kellan said over the phone as he walked down the stairs. Ryan was his general manager at his company, and he needed him to come over for some important informations that couldn't be said over the phone."King Kellan!" Zeke exclaimed as he sprang up on his feet immediately he saw Kellan approaching."It's you again. Early in the morning. Just like before." Kellan said as he stood in front of the young man who bowed his head before him.Zeke chuckled as he straightened his head, and shrugged. "I guess I'm an early bird then. I don't like running my business when it's late.""That's good for you. So, what business do you have with me now?" Kellan asked.Zeke looked at him for a while, and folded his arms with a thoughtful look on his face. "I'm sorry, My King, but I think I have to let you know what I observed. You look at me like you've got something against me or something. Tell me, dear king. Is there something you wanna
Kellan stood at the entrance, his eyes on Negan and Scarlett. "May I?" He asked as he held the door with one hand."Yes, my king!" Scarlett voiced out sharply, jumping down from the bed.Kellan walked in, and gently closed the door behind him before walking towards the bed. "I didn't know you were here." He said to his brother.Negan nodded, and stood up on his feet. "I came to say hello to Scarlett since I didn't see her all day.""That's so very thoughtful of you. I've never seen you care about someone like this." Kellan said, and took his eyes to Scarlett. "What's your problem? Why aren't you working?""N... nothing. I... just slept off." Scarlett stuttered, making it obvious that she was lying. Her heart was beating so fast in her chest; so fast that she feared that the fast movement of her chest could be seen.For spike's sake! She was standing in front of her mate!"You know that's a big lie, Scarlett. Tell him what's wrong." Negan spoke softly to her with concern in his eyes..
The journey to the bar was super awkward. While Kellan drove, Scarlett sat at the passenger's side, staring outside, and wishing that they would get to the bar as quickly as possible. The air in the car was stiffening. Almost suffocating."Why do you stare out all the time?" Kellan asked her after a long drive.Scarlett turned to look at him, and shook her head. She looked down, and toyed with her seatbelt. It felt weird ridding with the king again, and this time, with the knowledge that he was her mate."Nothing, my King. I just felt like looking out, and getting all the nice views outside.""I see. Are you sure there's nothing you want to tell me?""I'm sorry my king, but why do you think that there's something I might want to tell you?""You look reserved, Scarlett. I may not have known you for long, but I know when something is bothering you, and this is one of the time. Let it out." Kellan insisted.Scarlett shook her head, and managed a smile. "I'm definitely sure about it, My k
A knock came on the door, interrupting the heated moment. It felt like a breakthrough for Scarlett as she hurried stood up from the chair, and rushed towards the door."Who's it?" She asked as she got nearer."Room service." A lady replied from outside.Scarlett took in a deep breath as she unlocked the door, and pulled it open. A lady walked in, rolling in a trolley with her. She set the ordered meals on the table, bowed, and left immediately."I will just eat when you're done, My king." Scarlett said as she tried sneaking away."Come sit here, Scarlett. Escaping from me won't help." Kellan said as he took up his cutleries.Scarlett hung her head, and feeling overpowered, she walked towards the table. *******************Winter walked into her room, closed the door behind her, and took off her shoes before walking towards the bed. She sat on it, and humming softly under her breath, she started to take off her earrings.After she was done, she picked up her phone from the dresser, an
"Answer me, Scarlett. I'm very curious right now. This important personal must be my brother, Negan." Kellan continued, this time, sounding sarcastic.Scarlett shook her head. "I'm not only talking about Negan, my king. I could get a call from my friend, Aria or...or... someone I've been hoping to hear from for such a long time now. He could finally call when my phone is turned off."Kellan stared at Scarlett, noting how sad she got when she got to the last part of her sentence. At the back of his mind, he wondered who she was expecting his call."Then, make sure it's only on important matters. I don't want you bombarded with unnecessary calls while you're working." Kellan warned.Scarlett nodded, and bowed. "Yes, my king." She raised her head, and the first person her eyes ran into was Iris's face. She was approaching their table at the exclusive part of the bar."She's coming!" She whispered, jerking her head back to look at the king.Kellan looked up as well, and his eyes met with
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
