Leonardo’s pov
“Please Miss Stella. It’s just salad. I will ask the chef to prepare a new one for you. Just-“
“No! I don’t want anything from you! How dare you use goat cheese when I am allergic to it! I could have died dammit!”
I just sigh looking at the chaos around. There girls and their drama,I just hate it. Now you understand, why I don’t want to get mated to these pretty princesses? The majority are like this.
“Calm down daughter, I am sure it was a mistake. The young man is apologizing already-“
The Alpha, the girls father says. But she pays no heed to him. Bashing and humiliating Noah.
While I just stand there, leaning on a wall. With my arms folded in front of me.
I hear heavy footsteps approaching, and seeing that calm smiling face. All my worries vanish.
She is here.
“Miss Stella! Oh what happened? I thought I will get you your favourite dessert, but I see you still haven’t touched your food?”
Her angry eyes calm down. Seeing the delicious cupcakes in my tray. To only make her attention shift from Noah.
“Food! This is poison! I would never eat it “
“Oh. I see. But what about a dessert. Ron told me you loved chocolate cupcakes with frosting. So he got you this.”
She blinks. To only step closer to Scar. Asking her in a whisper.
“Ron. The one who is a warrior in your pack. He got me this?”
“Ah hun”
Scar says, nodding.
“Yup. That Ron. He also told me to tell you that he is waiting for you in the training grounds with a surprise.”
A wide smile covers her features.All her earlier frustration gone.
Picking up the cupcake from the tray. She leaves leaving everyone to gawk at her.
“I shouldn’t keep him waiting then. Thank you for this.”
She says motioning to the cupcake, while Scar just nods in acknowledgement.
“You shouldn’t.”
Waving off a bye to her father she leaves while I see Noah sigh. Placing his hand on his heart and motioning a thank you to Scar.
This girl.
To be honest I don’t know what I will do without her. She has been always there, with me. Standing beside me in all my struggles.
And just yesterday when she said she wanted to leave this pack?
I don’t know why I reacted like that. I rarely loose my shit but I just couldn’t control it that day.
I see her smiling face and a warmness rushes inside me. Her smile felt like home.
And I don’t know how I will be able to stay away from my home.
But she is right. She deserves to live her life. She deserves to make her own home with a mate who will love her ,and children who she will cherish.
Who was I to stop her?
Her Alpha? A business partner? I was nothing.
Her eyes stop at me and that smile vanishes. To only have her lower her gaze.
I hate it when she ignores me.
And she is doing it quite well these days, testing my limits.Going towards the Alpha of the pack, she urges everyone to continue with their food.
And within minutes, her jokes made the atmosphere to ease like magic. With the Alpha and his warriors smiling and enjoying themselves.
I just stare at her like a freak, trying to suppress that smile trying to break free. Sitting on the head seat.
What are you Scar?
I rarely open up to people, but you always made it so easy. Filling up my cold persona with your childish and lively one.
Eating the food silently, I sigh.
Knowing it was going to be very difficult to let her go. Maybe because of her exceptional skills at managing everything. Or because of how dependent I am on her.
But anyways.
I have to try.
Once the dinner gets over I go back to my room. Thankfully everything went well and the new pack deal was signed. A slight headache makes it way and I rub my forehead with my forefingers while removing my tie , to only feel a presence behind me.
“Scar I am going to take a shower and freshen up. Can you please, check the borders for me?”
I hear a chuckle behind and I turn around to only see Noah standing there, trying to suppress a laugh. Seeing my cold look , he bows immediately.
Loosing all the humour.
“Yes Alpha. I will go and check.”
He leaves, closing the door behind and I curse in my mind.
Fuc* man! It’s not going to be that easy.
Struggling with opening my cuff buttons, her smiling face again comes in my vision. Tired and agitated, I literally pull on the cuff making the buttons to be uprooted and fall down.
Removing my shirt, I lay down on the bed. Looking up at the ceiling.
Why Beta girl? Why are you affecting me so much? Why can’t you leave my mind at peace for once?
I thought I will spent my last week here, off my duties and in rest. To finally leave. But how wrong I was.It seemed the Alpha had some personal vindictive against me.“What are you even teaching him? Is this the combination I wear? A blue tie with a crème shirt? “You see this. He is scolding both Noah and me. With neither of us saying anything.“I am sorry Alpha. I didn’t kno-““Shut up! I didn’t ask for your apology. Go and get this ironed.”He throws his tuxedo at Noah, to have him scram. Leaving both of us together. I was going to turn around and leave as well. To be only stopped.“And you? I know you are off duty now but it doesn’t mean you slack around doing nothing! Teach this fools Noah better and accompany me on the meeting with the new Alpha of our neighbouring pack.”I couldn’t refute. Keeping in my retort. I barely nod.“Ye
Scarlett povMy heart was rampaging inside my chest, with each step he took closer to me. His crystal blue eyes looking darker ,as they were set on me.Intimidating me." A- Alpha?"I stutter. Gulping. As he stops in front of me. Not saying anything. Just staring." Are you fine?"I manage to ask. Trying to ease the atmosphere. But he didn't wanted it. Stepping more closer to me, he invades my personal space.Making me hold my breath. Sh**! He looks so angry! I have never seen him like this!" No one talks to me the way you did Scarlet."" You of all people, must be knowing it"He says in a domineering voice and I gulp, lowering my eyes. He is using my name...he never used it before. I am dead. Oh moongoddess! Save me! Why did I have to talk to him like that!" Leo- um I...I just-"" Shut up"He seethes and I feel my ent
Leo's povHer lips were soft, almost melting under the dominance of my warm ones. As I continue to devour her sweetness like a starved beast. Too shocked, she doesn't respond. When I slip my hands under her shirt. To rub circles on her back. Making her gasp.Taking this as an opportunity. I slide in my tongue. And she kisses me back. Making a warmness to rush inside me.Fuc*! This felt so perfect.Exploring each and every corner. I see her struggling to breathe. And I break our kiss. But only for few seconds. Smashing my lips back on her pump ones. I go oblivious of everything.How can one be so perfect. How can I let her go now, that I have had a taste of her.Damn. I never knew I could feel like this for her, for my own Beta." Le-o"She almost moans. And as if a bucket of cold water is thrown on top of my head. I freeze. What am I doing? She is just my Beta, Sky. She is not my mate. She is not my chosen.How...how can I loose control like this.Pulling back from the kiss. I stare a
Leo's povTo be honest. I don't know how long I stayed in the forest. Just walking around. Remembering the way it felt when I kissed her, feeling her skin against mine. Her moans ringing in my ears. Damn it! What's happening to me? She is not even my mate! Then why do I feel like this for her?Why did it feel so right when this was wrong in every way. Why I even forced her to accept that she felt something for me. Why do I needed her to reciprocate?And why did it hurt so bad when she rejected.Now that my mind is clear. I realise. She was not wrong. Being the logical one. She again listened to her brain rather than her heart.She wanted me to save myself for my Mate. But that's where the problem lies. 27 years of age and I still haven't found her.What if I never found her?Scar could have been a perfect Luna. But again she was not a replacement. She shouldn't be the second. Being the previous person she is. She deserves to me a man's first.Her mate's Chosen.
5 years Later Scarlett's pov" Table 5 Sky! Hurry up!"" Got it Ren!"Dashing through the crowded people. I make way towards the table. Balancing the drinks on the tray. To only find the men at the table looking back at me. Irritation evident." It's been half an hour girl. You went to the vineyards to get it or what?"One of them jokes and others chuckle. While I politely place down the glasses of vine on their tables. Bowing at them." Sorry for the delay Sir. Hope you enjoy your drinks."Without another word ,I turn around on my heel . To only feel a grip on my wrist. Stopping me." Why in a hurry now sweet little thing. Why don't you join us? I am sure we all won't mind a little company. Now would we?"Not this again! Aghhhh! Clenching my fist. I feel my skin burn where the man's fingers touched me. And I close my eyes. Breathing heavily.Control Scar.They are rogues. I shouldn't be messing with them. Stay low. Pretend to be a human like
Scarlett povLoud music was blasting through the speakers and neon lights were illuminating the dark place. It was a Saturday night today. And the club was packed.People were drinking, dancing, making out in corners. While I stand behind the bar counter. Preparing a special drink. And offering it to the customers sitting in front of me." Here you go ma'am"The girl was swaying, already drunk. Her dresses's shoulder was falling off. As she picked up the glass. Gulping it in one go. And thudding back it on the table." soo nice!!!"Complimenting the drink. She takes out a hundred dollar bill and slides towards me. Winking at me." Keep the change sweetheart."I stare at the note. The bill was just 50. She tipped me the remaining. Thanking her. I place the change in my pocket. Moving towards the next customer. Who was continuously tapping his fingers on the wooden table.His face was lowered. And a cap was covering his features. Wearing a tight fitting black shirt. His muscles were bu
The car comes to a halt and I gulp. Looking at the castle like building outside. My heart thumping as I admire the beauty of the humongous place.But my stare is broken when the door to my side is opened and I feel Leo's firm grip on my wrist. Pulling me out, he literally drags me in as the guards bow at him as we enter." Leo! Please wait! What are you doing? Why have you brought me here?"He doesn't answer me. Taking long strides. Walking in like he owned this place. Which he technically did. His shoes heel clicking in his long confident steps while my sneakers dragged behind." Leo! Aghh you are hurting me!"I literally scream this time. And next I know. He pulls open a room and steps in, letting go of my hand. Closing the door behind with a thud. I look up and the expression on his face made my lips to shut up.He looked angry. Really pissed at me and I failed to understand why. Till he speaks finally." I fuc*ing died worrying about you. I missed you everyday. I regretting. I cur
" Okay! Let's begin now! Attack at 3..2...1!"I attack turning around. To wrap my arms around his neck. The words he spoke yesterday, still burning inside me.A women who pleases men huh?A slave to his wishes?Tightening the lock. I try to bring him down. When suddenly the indifferent look on his face replaces with a smirk.Reversing the roles. He rolls me over on his back. To make my ass kiss the floor. And I groan. " Fuc*!"He stood over me. Hands placed in his pockets. A mocking smile evident." Is this all that you got Sky. I bet even kids these days can attack better than you."His mockery didn't settle well with me. Lifting myself up. I attack without warning. Blow after blow. Kick after Kick. But he dodges it all. His footsteps staggering back.My frustration was building up. As I didn't even managed to touch him.Lifting my leg. I go for a kick when his fingers wrap around my ankle and a gasp leaves my lips. Not expecting it .My body looses it's balance and I was going to f
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
" 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.
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
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
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.
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 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
