ANNIVERSARY GONE WRONG
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“Oh, I'm sorry, Scarlett, I don't think you should go up there right now.”
Scarlett Davis came to an abrupt halt at the foot of the stairs. A frown creased across her forehead as she casted a confusing look at her boyfriend’s sister, Saddy Campbell. Saddy was almost like a sister and heck she loved her but wasn't up for her games that moment.
“Why? I have to see my boyfriend, your brother. Noah is up there, isn't he?”
She looked past Saddy up the stairs. Legs itched her. She couldn't wait.
Saddy lashes blinked but she said no words.
Scarlett drew in a deep breath. Her patience was growing thin by the second.
She tried to sidestep Saddy but Saddy was quick to stand in her way again.
Another exasperated sigh. “What is wrong, Saddy? You need to get out of the way now. I can't keep Noah waiting.”
“I don't think Noah wants to see you now, Scarlett,” Saddy blurted. Her lips tightened into a thin line.
Scarlett’s eyes pinched. Saddy was always like this when she wanted something.
“Okay. What do you want, Saddy Campbell? Let me through and you have what you want. Tell me, is it the trending hair clip? That cute little Puma one or is it the latest Puma shoes?”
To Scarlett’s surprise, Saddy just shrugged. No excitement. That was the weirdest thing to ever witness. Saddy indifferent about the latest Puma brand shoes and hair clips. Something was definitely amiss.
“I'm sorry Scarlett but can you not see my brother today?”
“But it's our anniversary and Noah wants me here. You know how we always celebrate our anniversary? Come on now Saddy, I will get you some really nice cakes on our way back. Alright?”
Quickly, she rounded Saddy and headed up forcing herself to ignore the sad look on Saddy's face as she went. A glance at her wristwatch had her sighing. Noah would have given up waiting for her by now.
If only she hadn't entered the wrong train coupled with Saddy’s strange behaviour.
She ran up the remaining staircase, cornered into the hallway and stopped at the first door.
Scarlett paused and took a deep breath. Retrieved a little mirror from her purse and checked herself out once more. She had to be perfect. Noah said he didn't mind but she had to be perfect for him. She had ordered flowers and reserved a special place he didn't know of. It was going to surprise him. A little smile tugged at her lips. Certainly she was looking marvellous, Scarlett was sure to blow Noah’s mind away.
At the mental count of three she pushed the door and got in.
Tiny moans welcomed her with the sight she hadn't ever imagined to witness. Noah's hands were circled around another girl, lips locked.
Her legs froze right at the door. Lips parted but no words came out. The room spinned before her. Tears stung her eyes and slowly she began to retract, shaking her head.
Then she spun and bolted out of the room.
Scarlett ran all the way out and didn't stop until she was out of Alpha Campbell's building.
Outside she stopped, panting. Her hands reached for her chest and she clutched. She couldn't breathe.
“No…no… I must have seen wrong… I saw wrong…” she continued to mumble, shaking her head. But the memories had already been stored and they reared up again.
She couldn't just leave. Noah was her boyfriend of ten years. She couldn't just leave like a coward… like a loser.
She had to stomp the last of her pride aside and ask. She needed answers.
Clenching her teeth, she wheeled around and dashed back into the house but bumped into Noah who was coming after her.
“Scarlett, let me explain,” Noah started.
Scarlett looked up at him.
“Explain? What do you have to explain, Noah? That you have been cheating on me? That the whispers about you seeing another woman in the Pack is right? That what we had for ten years meant nothing to you? Is that what you want to explain? Fine. Go ahead and explain. Who is she?”
“She is Rose…”
“Damn you Noah! I didn't bloody ask you for her name! What is she doing in your room? Why was she in your arms while you kissed her?”
Tears clogged her throat. She paused to gather herself. But her emotions were getting ahead of her.
“Look Scarlett, there is something I should have told you…”
She managed to glance at him, her heart breaking with every second that passed. With every look he gave her. What happened to her lovely Noah?
“Two of us… There is no future between us. People talk. They will keep talking about you…your father…”
“Fuvk Noah! You said it was okay. You said you didn't mind the position of my father in the Pack… You said you don't mind our differences… you didn't mind my father being the Omega of the Pack…Why are you doing this to me now…”
“I'm sorry, Scarlett…”
She reached forward and held him. He had to still love and wish for things to work between them. She searched his eyes hoping to see even the tiniest bit of love for her still there. “I loved you Noah…No, I love you Noah. You know I do… I don't care that you are the Alpha's son and…”
He snatched away. “But I care… I care for it all Scarlett and no matter how much we pretend to not care, it will always be there. Deep inside of us, inside of you, you know what we had was meant to never last.”
She fought back a lump in her throat.
“Look Scarlett, I'm sorry I didn't mean for you to find out this way. But I think Rose is my mate.”
Scarlett shrunk. “What? You think?”
His face turned serious. “Maybe we have been deceiving ourselves all along. Two of us… we were never meant to be. There is nothing you can offer me. Your father can't help my father as the Alpha and the pressure is on me. I can't let my brother win. But Rose? Her father is the Beta of the Pack. You know what that means to people like me,” Noah said. He looked behind his shoulder to see Rose had joined them. He walked over to Rose and took her hands.
“She is the one for me. I have known her as long as I have known you. She is my mate and I have chosen her. Someday I hope you find your own mate.”
Scarlett felt her head so light, her knees so weak they nearly gave in. Her fingers grasped onto her dress.
The tears flowed. Noah and Rose disappeared back into the house. She barely managed to c
atch a glimpse of their backs through her hazy eyes.
She turned around and trudged away.

Scarlett felt several eyes on her as she curled herself into one of the seats in the bar. She ignored their dirty looks and continued to gulp down her drink. The night was cold and sad. Like her heart. Her throat burned at each gulp but her soul craved for more and her hands continued to pour. She was done crying. Now she was going to drink until her brains would blackout. “Look at her drinking herself to stupor.” She heard one of the girls in a table of three say. “Poor thing. I think I feel a little pity for her.”“Pfffftttt! I feel no pity for wretched bitches that don't know their place!” The first girl spat. “How dare she think she can get to be with the Alpha's son? A worthless Omega’s daughter marries the Alpha's son? Isn't that laughable?” The third girl cackled. “Fool. How she didn't know she was only being used. Noah is really smart. Worthless girls like her deserve endings like this one.”The other two laughed. “So, who is Noah's new bitch? Heard he is planning to mar

“You are very beautiful and even if your boyfriend really did break up with you today, you please my eyes. What do you say? Let's have some fun. Drinks on me.”A hiccup left Scarlet. She blinked. Before she could get a chance to refuse the strange yet tempting offer, the strange man was already walking into the club. She snapped back and after him, she ran. True, she could use some drinks. Her steps quickened as she tried to match his long stride. “Who are you and what is your name?” She asked again. He didn't stop nor said any word until they were inside the club. “Fuvk out of the way bitch!” A completely wasted guy barked at Scarlett as he growled past her. Tall man pulled her out of the way. “This way. You don't want them squeezing you in here,” he guided her out of the people packed hall towards a slightly wide and long corridor. A drunk man poked his head out of one of the rooms and began to puke. Tall man lifted his palm and covered her eyes, stopping her from seeing the
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate THE LYCAN ALPHA
HOWLING MOON PACKTHE LYCAN ALPHA RESIDENCEThere was no way he could get rid of the memory of her no matter how much he tried. A tinge of regret washed over him. Somehow, her scent still lingered in his brain. Her long dark hair that always found a way to her face the entire night occasionally flashed in his mind. And her moans still rang in his head. He sighed regretfully. He had never intended for it to happen. But the attraction was a lot. She was so pretty when she stared up at him. Not many women dared to do that. And heck when she had bluntly asked if he wanted to sleep with her, he nearly lost his mind. Perhaps it was because he hadn't laid any woman for too long a while. He hated himself more because there seemed to be no guilt in his heart. The thought of his first mate crossed his mind. His wolf leapt ready to judge him. Asher sighed and shook his head. Not now, wolf. He rubbed his tired eyes. “Who is she?”“Who is who?” Ethan sauntered in casually. Asher jolted, gav
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate MATELESS VIRGINS
“Miss Scarlett Davies. You must follow us now. You have been selected as one of the women to be taken to the Howling Moon Pack.”Two of the uniformed men reached forward and grabbed her. “What?” Scarlett shrieked. “Father! You can't let them take me away!” Scarlett cried. Davies lunged forward in attack but was grabbed and held down by one of the Alpha’s guards. “Not my daughter…. unhand my daughter now…!”“That we can't do Mr Davies.”A voice came from the door. Scarlett swore she recognized that voice. And right she was as Noah entered. Her jaw dropped. “Noah? What are you doing here? Don't tell me you did this…”“I had no option, Scarlett. My father trusted me with this and I needed to make him proud. Besides, you are without a mate and still a virgin.”“You cheating lying bastard!” Scarlett charged. The men held her. She fumed glaring at Noah. The Noah she didn't recognize anymore. Had he always been this way or was she blinded by love she didn't see.“Easy now Scarly darli
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate NEW HOME
SCARLETTI looked behind my shoulder. It was the girl from the vehicle. Where had she appeared from again? “You…” I gasped. She steadied me. “Get a grip, girl. You don't want to be singled out on your first day.”I swallowed back the rest of my words. The Lycan Alpha was nearing where I stood and my heart was pounding hard. I dipped my head. He stopped before me and lingered. Dear moon goddess, make him go please…“Look up,” he ordered and I froze. Seemed I prayed too late to the goddess. Slowly, I raised my face. His eyes pinched. He tilted his head and regarded me. I kept my face plain, ready and determined to quickly deny if he so much as brought up the night at the club. As long as everything was concerned, that night never happened. Then he spun without another word. “Take them to their quarter,” he commanded. Together with the Lycan elders, he strode off. Huh? Didn't he recognize me?Perhaps I was too early to think the moon goddess didn't answer my prayer. But h
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate CURIOUS
Asher’s face rumpled. He had been at it for over a few minutes The girl at the club and the girl that surely would be at the werewolf quarters by now were the same. The very girl that had occupied her mind the past few days. He was definitely sure about it. He was so certain she was the one yet couldn't understand why she acted so different. But why was she amongst the werewolf women?He paused and envisioned all over again her face and her reaction when he asked her to look up. He kept on wondering why she acted like she had never seen him before. He should have asked her right there and then but the elders were watching. And he clearly saw Elder Conor’s eyes on her. His jaw tightened. Those greedy elders…He knew what they would have been planning. He saw through their lustful eyes. Unable to hold back anymore, he called Ethan in. “I need you to bring one of the new werewolf girls to me.”“A new werewolf girl?” Ethan was surprised. Then his face broke into smug grin.“You know
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate TAKEN AWAY
SCARLETTI was fuming as I left the lycan Alpha's house. I almost charged at me but my wolf kept holding me back. I forced my legs to a stop outside the Alpha's house. What? So one had to give up something to be able to have a life in this shit hole?He had the mind to say those disgraceful words to me as the lycan Alpha. He knew the werewolf girls were facing such humiliation and troubles and he kept shut. He knew about the evils of his elders and he had been ignoring them. Little wonder they call him the puppet Lycan Alpha. It was getting clearer, the rumours. It was the Lycan elders that controlled him and it was clear he didn't have a mind of his own. How could I have given my virginity to such a coward. I had almost forgotten about my anger until strange things started to happen. And it didn't even take long. Some rough looking men came and took the girls away. One today, two the next day. The girls came back battered in the body with swollen faces and others came back bod
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate CONFRONTATION
SCARLETTElder Conor was undressing when one of his men barged into the room. “My lord! The alpha is here!”“What? Asher is here?”“Yes.”“Why will he suddenly be here?”“We have no idea sir. He just arrived with his men and he is demanding to see you right now.”“Make him go away. Tell him anything. Just make him go away. Don't you see I’m busy?” elder Conor said angrily. Almost at the same time, another of his men dashed in. “My lord, the Lycan Alpha is on his way into the house.”“Fuvk!” Elder Conor cussed and hastily began to put his robe back on. He shot me a look and heaved with frustration. The guards were still standing at the door.He smacked their faces cussing as he dashed past the door. A big heavy sigh left me. The Lycan Alpha is here? Why? I stood up and began to find my way out. When I peered through the door, it turned out one of Elder Conor's men was mounted there to watch me. Even if I escaped, I was never returning to werewolf quarters. I knew my punishment

WRITER'S POVLucas clenched his teeth. Standing beside Asher and watching him grasp fondly onto Scarlett’s last belongings like his life depended on it infuriated him greatly. “You killed her. You monster. You killed her!” The voices echoed accusingly in his head. He vividly recalled the words he had said to Scarlett and felt guilty telling her those words. What if truly his words had pushed her to her death?Freya’s arrival meant he now had two people to deal with and so he had thought that he just needed to deal with one first which happened to be Scarlett. She seemed more like the danger because Asher loved her. To him, Freya Darkthorn was not a problem. Asher felt nothing for her and she would just be a figure like a rock to him. But he didn't know Scarlett would go this far to honor his request for her to disappear from Asher's life. “How long do you think she could have been in there?” Asher’s lips quivered, his gaze heavy with sadness darted all over the surface of the water.

SCARLETT’S POV Casting my roomies one last glance, I turned and headed for the door. “Where are you going?” I heard as I turned the doorknob and I instantly froze. “Where are you sneaking off to?” Slowly I turned around. If it wasn't Louisa…She was about to fire yet another question when I blocked her mouth with my palm and dragged her outside. “You will wake everyone. Reduce your voice,” I whispered. She gave me a hard stare. “What are you planning? I know everything.” I squinted. “It's not what you think, Louisa.” She was mute briefly. “But if this is what you feel it's best for you, then I'm solidly behind you.” I looked at her in surprise. “No–Louisa…it's not what you are thinking, seriously. I am not going to see Asher—” “Not that. You are running away. I know. The Alpha is taking another Luna and you can't bear to watch him.” My shoulders dropped and I sighed. The news had gotten to the quarters already. No wonder the girls suddenly stopped staring at me with disg

SCARLETT “You have a visitor,” Camie announced. “She always has a visitor. Who is it this time? The Alpha or a new toaster?” Joy shook her head and eyed me suspiciously. I sighed and rolled my eyes suppressing my groan. I wasn't expecting anyone. Not even Asher. Ever since one of the girls gossiped how Gamma Lucas had taken me to a man lycan, they never stopped teasing me about it. Truly, bad news spreads faster than cancer. If only they knew what actually happened that day. “No. Gamma Lucas,” Camie confirmed. “Gamma Lucas?” Both Joy and Louisa blurted in surprise. Gamma Lucas? Why was Gamma Lucas here to see me? “Why?” I asked, getting up from the bed. “We should be asking you.”I shrugged. “I have no idea. I will have to go and see.”I mounted the stairs and stood at the foot of the stairs trying to locate Gamma Lucas in the midst of the noise from the girls playing games and the ones strolling around and their cheerful chants. The reason for Gamma Lucas' visit still worri
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate DARKTHORN'S DAUGHTER
ASHER Many times I had found myself trapped in the snarls of these wicked elders but today was the one I probably wouldn't forget in a very long time. I scurried out of the meeting hall with the last self control I could muster. Inside one of the buildings I let out my frustration by smashing my knuckles against the wall. I suppressed my wolf back and held back my growls. “His lost daughter?” I couldn't help but laugh. That man just never ran out of evil ideas. It seemed that was the only thing he thought and the only way he lived. How did he always manage to come up with something more worse than his previous every damn fuvking time?Ethan seemed more furious than I was. I was sure he must have tried so hard to hold back during the meeting. “Does this make sense? How did he have a daughter no one else knows?” He gritted angrily. “Fine, let's agree he has a lot of women but that girl looked nothing like Silas Darkthorn. Did you see her eyes, Asher? She is dangerous!”“So what wi
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate TRAPPED
Asher sat comfortably on his Alpha throne seat. For some weird reason he didn't understand, the seat that used to itch his buttocks suddenly felt comfortable. As he leaned back in the seat, memories of two nights back reared up in his head. Proposing to Scarlett was supposed to be the major highlight of the night but it was their time in the room that hit the core. He didn't know and never imagined he would connect so deep with a werewolf in that manner. Every one of his movements she understood and he equally understood every bit of her. When he held her close, she smelt like roses. When he kissed her lips, it was like it was his first time. It was succulent and he couldn't get enough. He swallowed thickly and a smile lit up in his face. He couldn't wait to announce it to the elders. For the first time since he assumed the Alpha seat, he was the first to arrive for the council meeting. The entrance of the first elder broke him out of his thoughts. Even the elder did not hold
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate "BE MY LUNA"
SCARLETT Receiving a letter from Asher to stay away until he called for me wasn't supposed to mean so much but my insides said otherwise. As if something was wrong. Going to meet him seemed to be my only way of finding out what was wrong. One of the guards approached me when I entered the Alpha's compound. “Follow me,” the guard commanded. “To where?” I asked, confused. “There's someone that wants to see you,” the guard responded without sparing me a glance. I shrugged and followed him. Hopefully it might be Asher. But I was very surprised when the guard stopped before a man I had never seen or met before. “I'm sorry but do I know you?” I quickly asked, forcing my face and tone to stay as polite as I could muster. A big grin spread in the man's face revealing his coloured teeth. The stench emanating from him was enough to know he was drunk. And when he opened his mouth to speak, I was forced to squeeze my nose in disgust and had to restrain myself from puking. “Scarlett ri

“Asher…” Lucas came to an abrupt stop as if he had seen a ghost. Asher equally stopped. Following Lucas's gaze, his eyes landed on a figure he immediately recognized to belong to Scarlett. She was in the arms of a man. His legs slowed and finally rooted to the spot. Intense anger spurred Inside him as his fingers clenched. Almost at the same time, Scarlett left the arms of the man and looked behind her. She gasped in shock but as she made to go after Asher, Asher spun and marched off. Asher neither stopped nor casted another glance behind him as he stormed away. He arrived at the place where he had decorated to propose to Scarlett. For several seconds he stood staring down at the decorations and wine and flowers. “Urrgh” he groaned and overturned the mini table that had the wine and they all went shattering on the ground. He grabbed the blanket and flung. His fingers clasped together tightly as he panted. Was this why she refused to come see him? She was flirting around with me
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate UNKNOWN HEARTS
“Something for you,” Louisa said as she handed Scarlett a neatly folded paper. Scarlett blinked in surprise. “Note for me?” She then collected the paper wondering who had sent it. “Most definitely from your lover Alpha,” Louisa teased and headed over to the bed. Scarlett felt her heart skip. Quickly she tore the paper open. “The Alpha does not wish for you to come today. And until he says otherwise, he does not want you to show your face around his house.”In bold letters, the note read. Stiffening, Scarlett read and reread the note hoping that her eyes were wrong. Perhaps it was her hoping she had seen wrong. Louisa glanced at Scarlett's direction. Noticing the drastic change in her face, she asked, “What is it? Is something wrong?” “Nothing,” Scarlett mumbled as she squeezed the paper in her palms and started towards the washroom. It felt strange. Asher had refused to see her and it's been days and now he was banning her from showing her face in his house. Was something wron
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate PROPOSAL NIGHT
Ethan levelled up with Asher. “What are you going to do?”“Get married and have a Luna of course,” Asher answered. If it was his marriage they wanted then he would give it to them. “Marry? Who will you marry? You are not even courting anyone at the moment. Or are you planning on marrying just anyone? You should already know the plans of the elders…”Asher screeched to a sudden stop forcing Ethan to equally halt. “Not just to anyone. To her. Scarlett.” Ethan's eyes widened. “You are going to marry her?”“Marry who?” A voice sounded behind them. Startled, the two Lycans looked but then relaxed at the sight of Lucas. “Get ready, you both. We have a wedding to prepare. I will be proposing to Scarlett tonight.”“Wait .. wait…Asher…” Ethan pulled him back. “Are you sure about all of this? Do you love her that much? See, I adore her too. She is amazing and brave and…but c'mon you just knew her and she is a wolf. You are very much aware of what making her your Luna entails right?” Ash
