There was a brief silence in the room as Kellan said those words. Rosita walked in, interrupting the silence as she moved closer to Zelda, and whispered something in her ear."I'm in a meeting right now. Tell them to wait for me." She ordered, and turned back to look at Kellan. Rosita bowed, and left through the way she came."Just like you said, any other wolf could have that sort of colour." Kellan said, hoping he was right. He couldn't bear it if his mate was the cursed woman in the prophecy.Zelda nodded, but there was a doubtful look on her face. "Yes, that's true. But it's very rare to see a red haired wolf. Very rare. And when one is seen, it's as strange as anything.""What are you trying to say?" Kellan asked."I'm not trying to say anything, king Kellan. A wolf with such colour is bound to be extraordinary." Zelda replied.Negan listened as they talked. His face was expressionless, making it impossible to detect what he could be thinking about."Why did you say she's missing
Winter's eyes darkened as she stared at Rolf, shocked to her bones. She shifted from one foot to the other, and shook her head in disbelief."What are you talking about, you joker? Are you trying to make me laugh right now?"Rolf shook his head, holding the bars tightly and desperately. "No, my lady. I'm not joking. I have a witness to this. Gemma. You can go, and ask her right now."Winter looked at Rolf, still shocked. She moved back, and slightly swayed on her feet.She recollected the faces of the people she'd seen in the palace, and couldn't imagine anyone as being the King's missing mate.She looked at Rolf, and moved closer to him with a daring look in her eyes. "Who's it?" She asked."Her name is Scarlett. She's the King's assistant." Rolf replied after a few seconds of silence.Winter laughed and shook her head. "If you wanted to make me laugh, well, you succeeded. Scarlett? This is insane!" She exploded, looking fiercely angry."I know it's insane, because she has been here
**Somewhere In The Capital Pack Area**Glimmer walked stealthily towards the gathered crowed in front of the bungalow building, his eyes filled with contempt and rage. He held a sheathed sword by the side, and the other hand was a pocket knife which he slipped into his pocket as he approached the crowd.He stood in front of them, scrutinizing the people before him."I gathered us this morning to talk about our next movement after such a long break. We lost most of our competent members during the last attack at the Alphas' meeting. It was disastrous because they killed most of us." Glimmer said in a dangerous voice, his breath becoming erratic."Now, we are back. Stronger. Crueller. To them, we are the rouges, but to us, we are?""The rippers." The people standing before him chorused, raising their swords in the air."After we were unfairly and unjustly banished from our pack, what did they expect from us? Were they expecting us to become angels?"We've just started, and all the pack
Kellan stiffened, his arms tightening around Scarlett. He wanted to take control over himself, over his sanity, but Ragnor over took him completely, almost making him shift.Scarlett noticed what was going on, and quickly, she yanked herself away, creating some distance between them, looking nervous. Had he inhaled her scent? But she made sure she had Alexa shut the whole evening."Are you okay, my king? Your eyes...they are glowing." Scarlett mumbled, and took another step back.Kellan's eyes were on Scarlett. He couldn't stop looking at her. He was confused, and couldn't quite understand what had happened between them just few moments ago."I don't okay. And you? What happened?" He said, finally finding his voice. He wished that Scarlet had stayed longer in his arms. He wished that she didn't break free before he could get the chance to recognize the scent, but he knew for sure that it had been familiar."I'm okay, my king. I think I will just go, and come back when you're done from
The whole place was as quiet as a grave yard, and all that could be heard was the crackles that came from the fireplace.Negan walked towards the gathered crowed in front of him, a confident look on his face. Behind, Glimmer stood, his gaze scanning the people. His eyes found Penelope, and a slight smile spread across his face."I'm happy we're all here, and safe. The fortress is getting more secured, and it's what makes me very happy. While on my way here, I was really mad, but getting here, I saw how organized things are, and it smoothened me."Glimmer walked yo the front, stood before Negan with a determined look on his face."Send us, master. We're ever ready to carry out our missions the way we always did. We are ready to get revenge for our lost souls." He said with his eyes devoid of warmth.Negan smiled, and nodded. "In due time, Glimmer. Do you think I don't want to take revenge as well? I had to fight against my followers just to keep my identity. I had to do the unthinkable
"Where is she, Glimmer?" Negan asked again, his voice strict this time."I'm sorry to say this, Master. But I do not know where my sister is. We got separated some years ago when everyone thought I was dead."Negan hit his fist hard against the table, rattling the contents on it. He clicked his tongue, and shook his head in regret."No way. We have to find her at all cost, she's our greatest weapon, Glimmer. She must be found at all cost."Glimmer nodded with his eyes glistering. It was obvious he was fighting back the tears that threatened to spill out of his eyes."There's nothing I want more than to find my little sister, boss. She's all I I've got. It has always been the two of us against the world."Negan looked at him, allowing him to express his hurt through his word. "You're stronger than this, Glimmer. I know how it feels when miss someone, regardless of who they are to you."But you must be strong so everyone who trampled on us will pay. Everyone and even the people around t
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
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
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
