My throat was crude ,my lips parched as I look at the inhumanity in front of me with teary eyes. How can they be so callous? I thought Hayden was not that bad. That he will never intentionally hurt me. But today all my beliefs shattered. Each time the whip made contact with Leo's skin it felt like a part of me was pulled apart. But Leo, he didn't cry. Not even once a cry of pain left his lips. One would think he wasn't even harmed but one look at the blood seeping down his back to pool on the floor. And the moisture in his eyes and one could tell ,he was veiling it all to well behind a mask of coldness. He has mastered the art of hiding his pains. " Hayden please! Leave him! What do you even want dammit!" I scream writhing in my seat. Making the ropes to bruise my wrists. The pain nothing compared to the torment Leo was going through.Hayden doesn't respond. Not doing anything. His grey orbs remain fixed at my teary ones as he sees me plea
Scarlett's povThe pain never came.I continue to stand there. Shivering, anticipating the worst. But that moment? It never came.My pounding heart , thudding in my ears was the evidence of me still breathing. Bring alive and I slowly open my eyes.To feel my blood run cold as I took in the scene.The sword was held by a hand inches away from my face. The sharpened blade of it , making drops of blood to fall down on my face.Looking further up I find those grey eyes looking at me in despondence. And I let go of the rugged breath I was holding onto." H- Hayden?"He has saved me,again. But why? Why does he always protects me. I just rooted a knife into his torso and tried to kill him. Why was he still giving a damn about me.I could tell Leo behind me was as surprised as I was.Staring at the King of darkness protecting us." Y-your high-ness?"The guard stutters pathetically. Dropping his grip on the knife to step back immediately. Bowing." Aplo-gies your high-ness.
Scarlett’s footsteps slower down. Feeling a weird aura coming from behind her. Something didn't seemed right. She was to escape with Leo and everything was going to be fine.Hayden has assured her he will take care of everything.But the bigger question remained and that was how?Coming to a halt. She couldn't help look back over her shoulder at the huge castle like place surrounded in a deadly aura of darkness.“W-hat happened Scar?”She hears Leo's voice and she looks into his concerned eyes. “ Nothing....”Shaking away her worry. She almost scoffs at her own self. Was she really thinking about the man who kidnapped her and killed half of their kind?What was wrong with her.Even if he gets hurt she should deem that he deserved a great part of it. He was never a saint. A sinner instead.She has just taken one step forward, her hand tightly clenched in Leo's when a loud thrust of cohesive force hits them from behind making their bodies to topple forward.“ Ahhhh”“Shit!”They both e
5 years later" The council members is waiting for you in the ballroom your highness. "Leonardo stood there. Standing in front of a mirror. Looking handsome as always.Applying jell on a flick that was being stubborn as hell dropping on his forehead again and again.He barely acknowledged the guard. Just nodding at him." Fine"" Are the troops from northern expedition back, yet?"The guard just bows. Shaking his head in a no." I am afraid your Highness. No message has been received from them. "" Oh okay. You go inform them I am just coming."" Sure Sir"The guards leaves and Leo adjusts the tie on his neck. A black tuxedo on top of a light blue shirt.Pulling on the cuffs , he groans in irritation.Seeing them still undone.Fumbling with the button. He struggles to close it. Feeling sweat run down his forehead.Few minutes pass. His struggles in vain. When her thought hits him. Hard.Remembering her doing it for him.Her slender fingers brushing his wrists.Her fragrance envelopin
" If I didn't know you. One would think you were actually flirting with her you know."A smile tugs on Leonardo's lips. As he didn't had to turn to know who it was.His heart picking up pace and euphoria settling in his chest." And if I didn't know you. One would think you are actually avoiding your dear husband since 1 months straight."" With no phone calls, no texts, no visits nothing."Turning around Leo looks up to find her there. Wearing a long floor length red dress. Her hair open and her face covered in minimal make up. Not that she needed to apply any.Looking like the most beautiful women to him.Scratching her neck out of habit. She lowers her eyes. Her luscious lips opening and closing on their own accord. No words leaving her lips." The threat was real Leo...I am sorry...I just...we all got too lost in the mission."" I tried calling you though..but the signal was quite weak there."Getting up Leonardo approaches her. Her lowered eyes and anxious aura making him smirk.
Scarlett's povI enter our room to find no one around. A bit dark for me to see anything. Biting my lip I step forward to look around." Leo?"Before I know I feel a strong tug on my wrists. Pulling me back.And next I know soft lips smash on mine. Knocking off my breath." Le-"He doesn't even let me speak. Kissing me like he hasn't kissed in ages. His chest heaving and hands holding my face in his palms." 5 minutes 2 seconds my little mate"" Are you ready for your punishment?"He says not even letting me breathe. Pressing my back on the wall to place his other hand on my thigh. Pulling it up to have me wrap my one leg around him.His fingers lighting sparks up and down my thighs. " Ahh Leo... atleast let me bre...athe "I say pushing him back slightly. To have him grab my wrists in his other hand. Pinning them above my head.Looking right into my eyes.His eyes drifting to my lips and I heave heavily. Gulping air.Our eyes clashing.And once assured I have enough to
Prologue ¶Scarlet Lockwood Pov¶" I want to talk to you regarding something.It's actually that....I.. I thought maybe it would be great if I..."" I am 25 already and girls at my age search for suitors to get married and settle down.""The Beta of Silvermoon pack proposed and he is a really nice person. So I...can I marry you?"Aghhh Scarlett! What are you even saying! You suc* at it! Admit it!"It's not marry you ! It's marry him! "If this is how it goes, I am sure he will throw me out himself! Focus Scar focus! You need to do this! Come on!Women up!"Sh**!"I curse seeing the water overflow from the bath tub ,I was preparing for him. Checking the temperature with my fingers, I smile. Getting up."Perfect!""Now just
Scarlett's pov“Scar! You are late!”One of the oldest head maids of our pack, Mrs Fernandes says and I rush towards the kitchen. Holding the counter to breathe.“Wh…where is it?”I ask, trying to catch my breath. To only have her motion towards the empty cup of coffee placed on the counter, along with coffee beans and milk.I look at her, to only sigh.“You didn’t make it? “She just shrugs her shoulders to continue chopping the vegetables.“For a change I did Scar. But he wants coffee especially made by your hands.”“He made me drink it instead”I wanted to roll my eyes at Leo's childish behaviour.Is this man serious?“Fine! I will make it. Anyways, it’s the last time I will be making it for him.”I say the last line lowly, to suddenly feel bad. Oh come on Scar! Don’t tell me you will get

Scarlett's povMy mind was numb and eyes tearing as I move up my hand to feel his features. His brows, his nose...his lips.His hot unsteady breaths hitting my fingers as I break into sobs." Leo!!"I exclaim. Throwing myself on him. To press my cheeks against his chest. Hearing his heart beat. Leo was alive. Breathing.It was the best movement of my life.And for a second everything stood still. I didn't cared about where we were or what was to happen. It was just me and him. " I...am so sorry for leaving you Leo...I am so sorry... please forgive me..."" I...I... don't know what came over me...I never wanted revenge Leo... "" You are hurt... it's all because of me! I should have been there with you!"" I am so sorry!"" Shhh Sky. Look at me."Lifting up my tears eyes. I look into his calm ones to take notice of dried blood on his face, torso, arms, shoulder. Everywhere.He was hurt severely.Since how many days have they kept him here?With hands tied above his head
Scar was sitting in front of a mirror. Staring at the white dress that adored her thin frame. It was off shoulder. A diamond necklace lined along her neckline. Highlighting her long neck.Maids were making her hair. While few others were dabbing make up on her face to hide her dark circles." Isn't she looking beautiful?"" The King will be so happy to see her."They exclaimed. Talking amongst themselves. While Scar could only see a lost broken women staring back at her in the mirror.Her eyes looking dead. These cosmetics doing nothing to hide the sadness in those brown eyes." The ceremony is going to begin. Girls. Is she ready?"" Yes Sir"Hayden's Beta stood at the door. And Scar couldn't help look at him.Speaking up after a very long time." Can...can I talk to you? Alone?"The Beta looked surprised. The girl barely spoke anything to them. What could be so urgent now.Dismissing the maids he steps in. Nodding at her." What's it?"Getting up. Scar approaches him. To look into h
Few days passed. The war has ended and the werewolves that survived, were in hiding. Trying to go as far away in the human lands they could.Knowing it was safe there.Hayden wanted to celebrate their victory. To enjoy the fulfillment of his long awaited dream. But somehow. He felt a weird emptiness in his heart.The emptiness that she brought in.Whenever he looked into her dead ,lost and sad brown orbs. He didn't felt victorious. Instead he felt he has lost. He felt weak and vulnerable.It was late at night. He was done with his work. Walking down the stairs to reach his chambers. He takes a deep breath before rotating the door knob. Stepping in to silence.His eyes stop at the figure laying on his bed.Not having moved from there since last few days. Silken sheets covering her up till her waist. Her long hair sprawled behind her head. As she slept like a baby.Palms folded. Resting under her cheek.Looking beside her. He found her plate untouched. Along with the medicine. And he s
