Leonardo's pov" Sky is dying Leo...she is sick!"Looking at Hunter in confusion. I step closer to him. The thumping of my heart audible to my ears." Sick? What do you mean Hunter!"Taking a deep breath. He runs his fingers through his hair. Looking really tensed. His eyes tearing. Sadness evident on his features." I hid the truth from you Leo...Sky..she asked me not to tell you this.""I am sorry but I had no choice...."His words were making me more restless. My patience wavering. With my Lycan slashing my insides to come out." What truth dammit! Speak it Hunter!"Slamming him on the wall behind. My nails extend to claws as I roar at him . But he keeps looking at me unfazed.Not scared to die." Speak Hunter...! What truth?"My voice turns more desperate and he lowers his eyes to speak. " Few months back when Sky started the training..I saw her reflexes slowing down suddenly. Like her wolf was not doing anything....like it was retreating. And my suspicions got confi
Scarlett's povI wake up next. Drenched in water. My entire body shivering. And teeth cluttering.Still alive... breathing.Surprisingly I felt a little better than yesterday. And I realised why. My fever was down. I guess even my body was tired fighting now.It has just given up.Picking myself up. I remove my clothes. Feeling light weighted. Closing the shower. I walk out of the small bathroom.Looking around at the small bedroom with just a small bad. The paint scrapped and water dripping from the ceiling.Not that I cared.Picking up Leonardo's shirt laying on the bed. Which he once gave me. I pull it down over my neck.Taking a sniff of his scent still faintly distinguishable.If only he could be with me , during my last few days.If only I could hug him and never let him go.What a wishful thinking.Sighing. I pull open the small refrigerator in the corner to find it almost empty. With just a carton of juice there.I hope it's not expired.Taking out the strip of a
Leonardo's povMy wolf was rampaging through the forest at inhuman speed, desperate to reach her on time. I have crossed almost a thousand miles. Reaching the border of the human Lands.Camilia 's father's pack was at the borders. But when I reach it. It was almost dark and the dark aura around told me. This place is going to be the next target. Crossing it to reach the human village, I change into my human form. Looking around in the crowded markets. Different human scents hitting me altogether, with her scent very difficult to distinguish.Fuck! Scar! Where are you! Please be safe!Looking around desperately. In different stores and places. I almost go crazy. Not finding her anywhere.I searched all the houses...she was no where!I know it was almost impossible to find her in a human civilization because of their vast population, but I don't know why my heart. It said she was here. Somewhere around.I can feel her.If only I see her once...those brown eyes looking at m
The Central Province. Was a highland with hills on all the sides. Geography wise it was one of the most safe and strategically important place.The very reason why the Werewolf King residence was situated here. With huge walls, high ceilings and hundreds of rooms. A white castle. With astounding architecture.But today. Under the veil of the darkness of the night. The white marbled walls of this gigantic place was getting covered in red colour. In blood of werewolves which were getting slaughtered mercilessly by the stronger kind.The newly adapted and advanced of werewolves called the Translupines. Survival of the fittest was indeed a true thing, but why didn't anyone talk of the survival of the purest.Because this was not just a war between two kinds.It was a war of good vs evil.It was a war of light with darkness.It was the war of the entire mankind. Which was in the hands of selected few who were struggling in this turmoil.Acting their parts. Doing their best. Not knowing des
Scarlett's povPin drop silence fills the room.It seemed no one was even moving except for one person. His heavy footsteps walk closer to me.Making my heart to thud faster.Next I know. The guards that held me are pushed away from me. Followed by a loud thud voice. Are they dead? They must be. I warned them not to touch me.His scent hits me and unlike the evil that is filled in his heart....he smells nice.His cologne like that of an expensive perfume.I gulp. Feeling his breath on my neck. To move up fanning my face. Till it reaches my lips.And next I know. The blindfold is ripped off my eyes.Making me gasp.I look up to lock my eyes on those grey orbs that saved me in the jungle that night. And I surpringly don't feel afraid of him.I never did.Nor when I was 7 years old and he was the only one with me in the darkness. Holding my hand. Nor now. When I was surrounded by his people. Standing in front him in barely any clothes. To be taken as a chosen for Translupine.
Scarlett's povI wake up to feel each and every cell in my body aching. Soft sheets laid under me, making me feel like I was laying on clouds.Am I dead already?Am I going to heaven?Looking around I found those grey eyes staring at me. Just like they were before I lost consciousness, and I couldn't help. Lay my head back on the pillow.Taking a deep sigh." You are still here. Where am I?"I say. Lifting my hands to see some tubes inserted in my wrists. " In my chambers"He says in a low sad voice and I ignore it. Trying to pull on the tubes. To have him grip my wrist. Stopping me." Don't. That's IV. For your food and medicine."I look at him in irritation. To drop my hands. Looking back at the ceiling, sighing." Fine. But what use is it when I am going to be dead anyw-"He doesn't let me complete. And next I know his finger brushes my lip. To shut it. His eyes dark orbs of turmoil.As he seethes." Don't you dare say that word."What is this man?Like seriously wha
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
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
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
