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
Kellan retired to his room after Iris and Gemma were taken away. He stood in front of his dresser, pulled out the top chest, and gently brought out the neck chain he'd wanted to see all day."Where are you? Why do you keep hiding from me?""I don't think she's hiding from us. She just doesn't know who you are either! She must think you're also hiding from her." Ragnor scoffed."Someone was here." Kellan suddenly said, and brought the necklace closer to his nose. He sniffed it, and looked around."I... think she was here." Kellan breathed, and closed his eyes. She was definitely there in his room.He opened his eyes with anger in them. Whoever his mate could be was hiding from him. But why? Had he hurt her? Did he do something that could have been wrong? He couldn't stop thinking about it.Feeling lightheaded, he sat on his bed, dropped the necklace on the dresser, and continued to stare at it.His mate could be in the palace. Could that be it? But why was she hiding from him?"In othe
Kellan got to the meeting room, and a total silence fell in the room. He walked stealthily to his throne, and sat down before looking at them."I had a very important issue to deal with. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." He apologized."Apology accepted, King Kellan. Now, we need to move forward. Can you give us details about the Journey?" Alpha Maverick asked sitting forward in his seat. Ever since his son, Zeke had broken the news of his involvement with the trip, he'd been greatly concerned."Only the best fighters have been selected for this trip. There's nothing to be really worried about. If you're asking this because of the prince, he chose this part himself, and I think you should allow him show you what he's capable of doing."Alpha Maverick looked at Kellan with an untold battle flickering in his eyes. The look in the Alpha's eyes made it obvious there was something going."I'm not asking this only because of my son, King Kellan. I'm asking on behalf of everyone who's goin
"I'm...I'm... sorry, My king. But I can't accept such proposal. It would be disrespect on my part." Scarlett's quick response came."Well, I'm the one asking you to sleep in my room, Scarlett. So, do not see it as disrespect. We've shared a room once, why does it still bother you?" Kellan asked."Nothing, my king. I just don't want to start raising silly assumptions. People might think that there is something going on between us, My king. I don't want you to be the topic of a gossip." Scarlett replied with a worried face.King Kellan smiled lightly, looked up, and found Rick walking back towards them. "What's happening?""They are all going to check out the rooms now, my king. I found a space for Scarlett...""No. Don't you worry about Scarlett." Kellan interrupted.Rick looked at Scarlett, and back at Kellan with a questioning eyes. "But... she's has to...""Don't worry about Scarlett, Rick. Take me to my room. She's coming with me." Kellan replied."As you wish, my king." Rick repli
"It's morning, loyal guard." Get up." Kellan's said, sitting at the edge of the bed, watching Scarlett as she stretched herself, showing him a glimpse of her sexy belly button, and under breast. He looked away when her eyes slowly opened."Oh!" She gasped, sitting up, and bowing. "Good morning, my king. How did you sleep?" She asked, slightly embarrassed, wondering if there was anything on her face."I slept well." Kellan replied, and at the back of his mind, he knew it was a lie. He fell asleep at the early hours of the morning when he was finally able to lure Scarlett into a deep sleep by rubbing her back.He'd been extremely amazed at himself as he stayed up almost all night, pacifying her throughout her sleeplessness."When are we leaving for the witch's house?" Scarlett asked, still feeling uneasy."When we've all had breakfast. Aren't you hungry?" Kellan asked, still looking at Scarlett. He refused to take his eyes off her."Okay, my king." Scarlett replied. She stole a glance
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
