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
It was getting dark.Scarlett Ashford stood alone in the center of the temple, her heart pounding in her chest like it was about to explode. Unlike her regular days, she was looking exceptionally beautiful - robed in her pretty wedding dress that was made of lace and satin.Her fiery red hair cascaded down her shoulders, framing her porcelain face. Jeweleries sparkled around her. She looked perfect.She shifted her weary eyes to the entrance of the temple, wishing deeply that he'd just show up already and remove the doubts in her mind. She prayed earnestly to the moon goddess not to let this become her fifth disappoinment.This was meant to be the happiest day of her life. She and her boyfriend felt they were a perfect pair and decided to chose each other as mate. They had arranged that day to complete the mating ceremony at the moon goddess temple, but it's been over an hour already. Why wasn't he there yet?'He's not coming.' her wolf growled within her. 'Just like the others, he's
His name is Kellan - the Supreme King of the Capital Pack.He was there alone, no guards, no attention. Just seeking some quietness and peaceful time from the woods.He had been upset about his personal assistant leaving, and that was major reason he needed some cool-off. Davis was the best man for the job, or perhaps, it was him who had gotten too used to him. He's been his assistant for years, but unfortunately, he's quitting because he wants to explore the world - in his words.Alpha Kellan has tried all he could to make him stay, but the young man is adamant. So, he needs to let him go. But Kellan is not pleased with it. He'll be needing a new assistant and he wasn't so sure he'd be able to find someone as strong and perfect for the job as Davis was.He spent a long time in the woods and was enjoying how calm it was, not until he saw her coming.From the top of the three where he sat, she looked so small and ran fretfully like she was in danger. Setting eyes on her, warmth surged
One Week LaterScarlett kept glancing at the wall clock as she brushed her hair in front of the mirror. It was her first day at work, and she couldn't comprehend how the hell she woke up later than she was supposed to. She had literally slept with a smile on her face due to how excited she was about it. Yet, she woke up a bit late.Done with her hair, she styled it into a ponytail and added some oil to it to give it a sheen finish. Then, she gave herself one final scrutiny in the mirror.She was robed in a black turtle-neck shirt, tucked into a black pair of trousers and black boots to match. Her hair had been dyed black, and she fixed dark lenses as well.She was perfect - she thought. Looked just like the right warrior that could protect the pack.Her hand moved up to her bare neck. The sting returned immediately, reminding her of the fact that she'd lost her precious necklace. She missed it and wished she wasn't so careless with it.No doubt, she'd left it at the suite with the str
"My King, is there a problem?" Rick went closer and asked in a hushed undertone.Kellan said nothing still, his gaze on the strange lady. Finally, he took some steps towards her, causing the people to draw their breaths and shift uncomfortably. Scarlett was confused and just kept watching.He stopped halfway to where she was, when her looks became too confusing for him. Something about her seemed so familiar. She had the same body features as the lady from the other night. But her hair and eye color was contradicting. He was damn sure the hair and eyes of his mate were red. But the hair and eyes of the lady in front of him was black. It wasn't adding up.'They're not the same person. They just look alike.' he thought to himself.That was the possible explanation. They simply just looked alike.Conclusively, he turned away and walked back to where a table and chair had been arranged for him. Winter had seen the whole thing and felt very disturbed. For a long time, she stole glances at
Scarlett didn't participate in any more battles for the rest of the day since she already fought with the king. Also, there were no corrections to be made as she had shown her perfect skills.Rick coordinated the rest of the people, pointing out the errors of some, and applauding the others that were good.After a long time, the training came to an end with Rick telling them he'd be assigning them to their various positions the next day. This got them curious and excited.Everyone started dispatching, majority of them glancing and talking about Scarlett. Of course, she was the topic of the day. Even though the King had defeated her, they were still able to notice her powerful fighting skills.Scarlett got her bag and was exiting the field when the hazel-colored girl ran up to her."Hi. I'm Aria." She extended her hand for a handshake.Scarlett was tempted to turn her down, but on a second thought, she changed her mind and received the gesture."Scarlett." She responded."Oh! I know yo
The following morning, Scarlett woke up and got ready for work again. She fixed her lenses and made sure the black dye on her hair wasn't fading out in any part. The last thing she wanted was making people look at her with irritating eyes, like people from her pack did.Done, she exited the house, a lot earlier than the previous day. She intentionally finished early becuase she planned on visiting someone, or somewhere.She took a cab and soon arrived at the witch's store which was by the side of the road. She's visited a lot of stores for this same reason, but some weeks ago, she heard news that this particular witch was very experienced.She got off the cab and proceeded into the store. An intoxicating blend of herbs, flowers and so many potions engulfed the air and filtered into her nostrils the moment she crossed the threshold. She could never get used to this smell.It was a small store. Looking around, she found potions upon potions, so many herbs and leaves mounted on each othe
Scarlett's breath froze in an instant. She wanted to look away, but something trapped her eyes to him, making it impossible for her to look away.He was shirtless and soaked, droplets glistening on his skin like tiny diamonds. His chiseled abs were exposed, each contour emphasized by the water clinging to his body.The water droplets glistened on his sleek hair, giving it a polished sheen. Scarlett's lips subtly parted, her heart skipped like a stone on water. He looked just like a greek god!"My King!" She finally pulled herself together and lowered her head, trying to steady her heart that threatened to explode in her chest. She couldn't get the image out of her head.Staring at him for a few seconds messed with her head completely. She tugged at her lower lip with her teeth.Kellan had just finished from the pool and decided to come into his study for a quick review. The study was his personal place, and he didn't expect too find anyone there. Imagine his surprise seeing his new as
