"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
Zelda continued glaring at Scarlett until she had to force herself to look away. She closed her eyes, and ran a nervous finger along her hairline.Kellan was staring at her, noting how she got immediately she'd seen Scarlett. Her expression had immediately changed the moment Scarlett stepped into the space."Are you okay, Zelda? You look like you've seen a ghost." Kellan said with a straight face."No. No. I'm perfectly fine. Please, come and sit. Forgive my manners." Zelda said, gesturing to the sofas.Kellan raised a brow, and looked at Scarlett. Why did the witch suddenly change on seeing Scarlett? Does his personal guard have more potentials than he expected?Scarlett led the way into living room, and stepped aside, allowing Kellan to take his seat."I'm also here with my beta. Tell Rick to come in, Scarlett." Kellan said, and waited until Scarlett got Rick into the living room. He took the next seat after his pleasantries with Zelda.Scarlett stood behind Kellan, still looking at
The look on Kellan's face was a triumphant one when he saw Caliban finally on the ground.He centered his eyes on Scarlett, smiled when he saw her turn with a triumphant look in her face.There was a huge silence all over the place, and a single noise could hardly be heard.Caliban laid sprawled on the floor with his face concocted into pain. Some guards rushed up towards him, helping him off the ground."I didn't know a woman would break my record." Caliban said to Scarlett after he was helped to his feet. "You took me unaware though."Scarlett smiled, and shook her head. "No. I did not take you unaware. I only attacked you when you least expected it sir." She replied humbly."Yeah, right. I can see that. Well, impressive." Caliban said to Scarlett. The men who had lifted him off the floor took him away from the field while Scarlett remained on the field. She looked around, and a very few people clapped their hands. *********Zelda watched Scarlett as she exited the field, and felt
Kellan paced in his room, looking impatient. It had been almost an hour since he'd asked Rick to get Scarlett, and he was yet to return with her.He was about calling him when there was a sudden knock on the door, and Kellan turned abruptly."Come in already." He snapped.The door opened, and Rick walked in, looking very worried.Kellan looked at him with fury in his eyes, wondering why Scarlett wasn't with him."What happened? Where's Scarlett?" He demanded."I couldn't find her, My king. It's very strange, because none of the other guards saw her come back here to the exclusive guest house.""What does that even mean?" Kellan asked, and turned to grab his phone from the bed. Quickly, he dialed Scarlett's line, and strangely, it turned out to be unreachable.Kellan's brows quirked as he turned to look at Rick. "It's strange. Her line is unreachable.""What do we do, Sire? It's very strange for her to disappear like this without a trace."Kellan marched towards the coat stand, grabbed
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
