A hooded figure leans against a tree bark in the dense forest. Smoking a cigarette. When suddenly he hears a pair of footsteps behind.The footsteps stop behind him. And the person bows." What can I do for you, Sir?"Turning around. The hooded figure takes out an envelope from his pocket to offer it to the guard. " Make sure this envelope reaches Princess Camilia at all costs."Taking the envelope. The guard bows Nodding" Your work will be done Sir. Don't worry."The guard retreats and the hooded figure just sighs. Looking up at the full moon. With a smirk lingering on his lips. Excited for the big event." Let's test your controls Your Highness."" If you fail today. You loose your title and Princess Camilia. And if you win?"Taking out a picture of an almost naked Scarlett, laying on the bed of the pub that night. He smirks to sniff the paper and leave a kiss on it." You loose your mate"" Hahahaha"Chuckling to himself. His eyes turn dark red. And he growls loudly. Not able to
Slamming his palms on her door. He find it locked. To only push it off its hinges, with his shoulder."Scar!"He calls for her, raging like an angry bull. His eyes desperately searching for her. Hearing the bathroom water running. He approaches the bathroom with two long slides. Walking in." Scarlett! How did you fucking dared to send those-"His words die down as he looks around searching for her to not find her anywhere. When suddenly his eyes stop at a figure inside the tub, underwater.And he feels his heart race." Sky! Sh*t!"He curses seeing small bubbles escaping to the surface, her body almost naked under it. Without a thought he rushes forward to place his palms under her neck.Pulling her up. Out of the water.Making her gasp.Removing the cloth stuffed in her mouth. He screams at her. While she coughed out the water. Her eyes tearing." Have you lost it Sky! Suicide? Like seriously! What the hell is wrong with-"" Agghh just shut up."She groans. Holding her stomach. A pa
He took slow dangerous steps towards her and her heart raced. Her brown eyes dark orbs of fear.He wouldn't.... would he?" Leo-nardo...I swear I didn't..."" Just shut up. Not another word."Leo warns her. His voice cold and emotionless. Making Scar gulp.Who was this man? He was no way like her silent but sweet and caring best friend.He seemed nothing less than a stranger now.She closes her eyes. Clenching her fists tightly. Feeling another wave of heat building up.Rugged breath leaving her lips as he speaks. Not at all bothered by her state." Get up"She ignores him. Literally scoffing at his order. She couldn't breathe properly and he was asking her to stand.Truly delusional." I said get the hell up Scar. Now!"He uses his Alpha tone this time. And she knew she had to try atleast. As the wave subsided slowly. She held the wall behind. Struggling to get up.Her legs wobbling under her. Body breaking into sweats.With him doing nothing to help. Just staring at her darkly.Heav
A figure sprints through the dense forest. Fear evident in his eyes. Hundreds of Royal guards following him, making him look over his shoulder to gulp.He failed in his mission. He was supposed to give that letter to Princess Camilia. What will he say to his boss?But what could he do. His sources were confirmed that there was no one in her chambers. Then when did King Leonardo came.Not having time to think about what mistakes he has committed.He focussed in front.Desperate to escape. Desperate to live. When suddenly his foot gets stuck on something and he goes tumbling forward. Taking a harsh blow to groan in pain." Ahhh"Trying to lift himself up. His forehead creases as he saw a pair of shoes in front of him. Lifting up his head, he feels relief flood in. Holding his leg, he pleads." Boss! You are here! Pl- ease save me boss! They....they are following me.. please!"The man only sighs. Crouching down to the trembling man. Shaking his head." You failed in your mission."" I..
25 years earlier.A dungeon. Rogue TerritoryA 7 year old girl was shivering. Laying on the ice cold floor. Hugging herself. Her brown eyes closed. Scared to see the blood stains on the walls around her. Her beautiful birthday dress tattered. Covered in mud. Signifying it has been the worst birthday in her life till now.When suddenly the sound of a door opening is heard . And she flinches. Hugging herself more tightly. Her small frame trembling. " Ah if it isn't our beautiful princess. How is your birthday going love? Dad didn't come to wish you till now?"A man says in a mocking tone. She looks up to find a scary looking man almost the age of her father, looking back at her. Gulping her eyes settle on a pair of grey orbs beside the man.The boy seemed to be of her age. Maybe a year elder.His cold eyes freezing her insides." What...what do you want from me? please let me go. I won't tell anyone. Please."Her voice quivers just like her insides. As the man nods at the boy." You
Camila paces her room in anxiousness. Rubbing her hands together. Creases apparent on her forehead.When suddenly a knock is heard and she rushes to open the door.Waiting for someone.A maid stood. With head bowed and Camilia urges her inside. Nodding at her. " My Queen. Your doubts were right.I followed your highness and he went straight to the girls room. This is what I found in her bathtub."Taking out a picture. The maid offers it to Camilia and she looks at the picture in shock. Her hand moving up to be placed on her mouth as she gasps in disbelief." No...Leo would never...."" I gathered information from the sources and it seems she was once The Beta of your highness in his previous pack. They go back together long way my Queen. They both almost grew up together with this girls Beta being the Beta of Your Highness 's father."Camila clenches the photo in her palms tightly. A rage building inside her. " Where is this girl right now?"" Your Highness suspects her to be associat
Scarlett's povIt has been few days since that incident and everything should have returned to normal by now. With me joining the training again. But sadly it didn't.Everyone looks at me like they are looking at dirt. The other warriors give me stares full of lust , while the women in the pack look at me in disgust.I failed to understand at first, but later it because clear when I came to know they have seen those pictures.And they consider me as the " Slut with which the Alpha King cheated on his mate aka his Queen"Normally to me, what other people think doesn't matter. But since past few days it has become unbearable. The ones who were friendly with me earlier have started bullying. Their words no less.I was putting some food in my plate in the break time, when I hear the women behind me chuckle. Their eyes boring into my back." Why is the whore still here. I thought she would have left on her own by now"" Don't bother. Don't you know how shameless they can be. I don't under
" This isn't done Leonardo! You may have become the werewolf king..but remember you are still accountable to us."One of the elders say. Literally screaming, making Leo to sigh. Crossing one leg over the other, he speaks in a monotonous voice." I never said I wasn't elders. Ask whatever you wish to. Disrespect the council was never my intention. "" Then what about these pictures! What about your commitments to the council. Don't forget you promised to take Princess Camilia's hand in marriage when you agreed to become the King-. "The ex King. King Robert shows the speaker his hand. Making him shut up. Taking over to look at Leonardo." Son. I made you the king because you promised to keep Camilia safe and happy. Can you explain us there pictures. Who is this girl?"" Are you betraying my daughter behind her back-"" I would never King Robert. I clearly remember my promise to you and the entire council. This Kingdom comes above everything for me."" Then why son! I trusted you. Who i
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
