SCARLET’s POV.Everyone kept looking at me funny as I walked into the class, it has been three days after all the shenanigans but the buzz has not yet calmed down.I couldn’t blame them though, I would also be in the same position as them if the tables were turned.Right now I am only worried about Mr Fenrir and how he was copping. He told me he would find the culprit and I believed him, he found Fiona’s murderer so he could also find this one. I just hope it is soon so no one will say anything about him.“Hey” Maria’s voice filtered into my ear and she came to stand beside me, “how’s your neck now? Feeling better?”“Yes” I told her with a forced smile on my face, “I am better”“That’s good to hear, everyone is still talking about what happened”“Well, they are free to” I shrugged, lowering myself on my chair, “it’s a free world”“I hate the fact that Mr Fenrir was thrown in the midst of all that, he is a good man”I let out another sigh, I was more worried than her and how I wanted
ADONIS’s POV.Walking into the interrogation room, Scarlett gripped my hand in fear when she saw the man seated. Ashley sure outdid himself. I couldn’t help but wonder where he actually found this savage looking man from.“He clearly looks like a killer,” Scarlett whispered to me, tightening her hold on me.“He sure does” I answered, “he gives me the creeps”“He actually turned himself in after Mr Ashley brought him to us” the detective in charge of the case said, “he just came to us and said he wanted to confess his crimes. We did our investigation and yes, he murdered Miss Loretta”Scarlett’ gasped, apparently she couldn’t believe that one could murder someone like that.“You did well coming to speak the truth” I turned my attention to the man, “who would have thought”“She was a nosy bitch” he spat, “she had to die, I did well to decimate her body into tiny pieces but well, I guess my karma was nearer than I even thought, I couldn’t sleep and she kept hunting me”I scoffed, was thi
SCARLETT’s POV.With one last look at the mirror, I smiled in satisfaction. Luckily it was a Saturday and we had the whole day to ourselves. Adonis was busy in his study and I have decided to keep him company.I grabbed the book I had gotten earlier before making my way towards his study.A soft knock on the door and his baritone voice urged me in.Pushing the door open, I gasped when I saw him seated behind the huge Mahogany table.He was clad in a black pair of Tshirt and his hair was tied in a messy bun, his glasses sitting pretty on his nose.My heart skipped a beat, this man was surreal, like he was not from amongst us. His tattoos were not even helping, a gangster and an angel all in one.“Are you going to keep staring like that or you are going to come to daddy?” He lifted his head from the documents he was reading and I clenched my jaw. My lace was already wet just by looking at this piece of delicious candy in front of me.“Why do you always look so good without trying?” The
ADONIS’s POV.I was waiting to hear her tell me she loved me all along but hearing it from her now, it felt like my heart was ripped into a thousand pieces. She looked so happy saying it, she looked so beautiful, so proud saying it so why was I sad? Why was I upset about the fact that she told me she loved me? I should be happy, my dreams were only steps from being achieved so I should be fucking happy but no, I couldn’t even pretend to be happy, i just sat there looking at her like a dummy.My beast laughed at me, it was clearly mocking me. What was I expecting? Did I expect everything to go smoothly when the person who put me in this situation was not done with me yet?But why was I so sad? Why did she tell me she loved me and make me so sad?“Fuck!!!” The words were out of my mouth before I could even stop myself, I gripped the wheels tightly and closed my eyes. Right now, I couldn’t even control my emotions.“Are you okay?” She asked me, concern written all over her face.I was su
SCARLETT’s POV“Sorry” I apologized immediately as soon as I bumped into the lady, “I am sorry ma’am”“It’s okay” she flashed me a smile, “you didn’t see me coming”I came to grab something from the mall because Adonis was not back yet, my attention was somewhere else totally and I bumped into this lady spilling her coffee. The day couldn’t get any more shitty.“Please let me buy you another cup of coffee” I said to her.“I should be buying you coffee” she replied with the smile still on her face, “I am the eldest one here”“I spilled your drink, I should buy it for you”“Nonsense!!” She blurted, “come with me”She didn’t wait for my response and grabbed a hold of my hand leading me towards the coffee shop.As soon as we got our drinks, we settled on a table with her telling me about her teenage son who would rather spend time with his friends than her.I didn’t say much, I wonder what made her so comfortable with me even though she didn’t even know me.“So tell me, you have a boyfrie
ADONIS’s POV.I closed my eyes for a second, trying to calm my nerves. Seeing her on a hospital bed fighting for her life made me so upset. Why didn’t I see that coming? I should have noticed the accident was going to happen and now she was breathing with the help of an oxygen mask.The doctor said she would be fine after a couple of days but I couldn’t take it, not like this.“My dear child” a familiar voice filtered into my ear and I opened my eyes to see her aunt,“Oh my gosh, how did this even happen?”I genuinely didn’t have the words to tell her because I also didn’t know what happened. “I must have missed something that was wrong with the car, indie” I told her, “and I am so sorry about that, I should have taken better care of her”“You were also involved in the accident, are you okay?” She held onto my hand checking my body for possible injuries. Need I tell her that couldn’t kill me? Or she wouldn’t find any injuries on my body?“I am fine” I told her, “scarlet suffered the
ADONIS’s POV:“I am full” Scarlett whined, “I really don’t want to eat anything else”“But you haven’t even eaten anything yet” I said to her, “you have barely eaten anything for the past two days, you need to take your medication and you need food in your stomach”“I am full already, let me just take some rest please”For the past two days, these have been the most words she has said. She was still suffering from the trauma of the incident and I couldn’t blame her, I was visibly shaken when I saw her lying in the pool of her own blood.For the past two days, I had gone berserk. Harming anyone whom I saw all because my mind was messed up, Ashley had to clean up after me intensely In the past two days but that’s not my problem right now, I was more concerned about the lady seated beside me.“Fine” I dropped the plate on the bedside table, “I will let you take some rest, you can always eat later”“Thank you”Pushing her body back on the bed, Scarlett covered herself with her blanket b
SCARLET’s POV.My door pushed open and I jolted out of my light sleep, a small frown appeared on my face when I saw it was Ashely and he didn’t look like he was sorry for the way he barged into my room.“Did I do something wrong?” I asked him, pushing my body to a sitting position.“How are you feeling now?” He asked me, his voice devoid of any kind of emotions.“I am better”“Good because I need to talk to you” he looked very serious and my heart skipped a beat, it felt something was wrong.“What is it about?”“You need to help Adonis” he blurted and my fear skyrocketed.“What do you mean I need to help him? What’s going on? Is he okay?”“Yes, he was” he blurted, “until he decided to fall in love with you”“What?”“I can not tell you the whole details but I need you to promise me that you will help him when the time is right, if you don’t, he will die”“What…“Don’t tell him we talked about this”After he was done, he turned around and walked out of the room leaving me to my thoughts
SCARLETT’s POV.Three years later.I ventured into the office, Alexander beside me briefing about the meeting ahead. I had just taken Jayden to his daycare and I had a very important meeting today. After that, I will take him to visit his father‘s grave. Yes, Ashley told me that they don’t perform funeral’s for their kind but I can’t let the memory of Adonis just fade away like that so I decided to create a special space for the three of us, a place where I can go to see him, a place I can go to speak to him please so I can tell him about his lovely son.Believe me, the past three years have not been easy without Adonis and Ashley here. Last year, Ashely died from an accident. It hurt me but I didn’t show it. I knew it was his time to die but he couldn’t even live to enjoy his new relationship with her.I shook my head to remove such thoughts. I was tired of being sad and disappointed in the universe for taking the people I love away from me and I was not going to do that anymore. I
ASHELY’s POV.If I was a minute late she would have been badly hurt. She didn't even move as I tried to attack her. She just kept looking like just waiting for them to finally kill her off. If I was just one minute late I didn't know how I would have explained to Adonis that I let his woman die.I pulled her into my embrace and moved her from the road. As soon as her attackers saw me they all froze, they didn't expect him to show up at that particular time. Thank the moon goddess I was fast enough to get here before they would have decimated her body into tiny pieces.” What the heck do you think you're doing? I asked the lot of them, "How dare you think you're gonna do that to her?” I yelled at all of them as I continued to glare at them.How did they think they could hurt her?“She fucking killed Adonis” one of them snapped in anger, “ she put a dagger through his chest without even asking permission from any of us. Who told her she had the right to take his life? We would have fo
SCARLET’s POV.My eyes opened up, and I pulled myself into a sitting position, the memory of what happened a while back, becoming fresh in my head. I genuinely didn’t want to wake up from sleep. I didn’t want to remember the fact that I will never be able to see him again. He left for good and I was the one who killed him. I put a fucking dagger through his chest and I watched him die. That was the least I could do for him. I couldn’t watch him suffer anymore, I couldn’t keep pretending everything was fine when it was not. It was all because of me, it hurts so much to see him in that state, but it hurts more not to see him beside me holding onto me, cuddling me, calling me sweet names and telling me how much he loves me.I sat in my thoughts for minutes until my door pushed open and Ashley sauntered in looking like a shadow of his former self, his eyes red and puffy. He looked so sad that my heart wrenched in pain, I knew he adored Adonis. I knew he treated him like a brother and I kn
SCARLETT’s POV..“You can not save him” the lady continued to say, her hold on my neck becoming more and more intense like she wanted to sniff the life out of me and make me a corpse.I tried pushing her off but I was not as strong as i wanted, she was clearly much stronger than me.“For how long will you let him suffer?” She asked me again; her gaze darkening, “how selfish can you be? He is suffering and you care about your stupid love?”“I am looking for ways to keep him alive” I managed to say, still trying to remove her hands off my neck.“The more time you waste, the more time his chance of reincarnation depletes”“What?” My eyes opened wide for a moment, “can he be born again?”“Not if you keep making him lose his powers every time, scarlet. Kill him and rid him of all the pain and suffering he is going through. You are the only person who can keep him safe, the only person who can get rid off the curse for him”She finally let go of my neck and I fell to the ground, wincing in
ADONIS’s POV.“You are not healing, Adonis” Ashly said as he dabbed my side with a white towel.“I will be fine” I muttered even though I knew I was lying to myself. I wouldn’t be able to heal anymore, I couldn’t even feel my own energy anymore. Everything has changed and I knew it, my Lycan was slowly losing its powers and it was my fault. I fucking fell in love when I shouldn’t have.“You are losing a lot of blood, Adonis,” Ashely told me again as he continued dabbing my side with a towel. I was wounded by a mere wolf last night and thinking about it now, I couldn’t help but scoff. How dare a mere wolf stand in front of me? How dare a mere wolf bare its fang at me and hurt me. I ended up killing it but even at that, it still hurt my ego that a mere wolf would hurt me in such a way and I wouldn't be able to do anything.“I will be fine,” I told him, “there is nothing you can do about it anyways.“I have called a pack doctor and she will be here soon to stitch your wounds”“Hmm” I no
I opened my eyes gently and the whiff of blood in the air greeted me. Groaning softly, I tried pulling my body to a sitting position but a hand stopped me. I turned my head towards him and I saw Adonis, an expressionless look on his face.“You are awake” his voice came out in almost a whisper, he looked like he had been crying or something like that.“Are you okay?” I managed to ask him when he helped me pull my body to a sitting position.“Yes” he tucked a few strands of my hair to the back of my ear, “I was just scared that you got into that accident, I shouldn’t have given you the car keys, I shouldn’t have allowed you to drive babe….” His voice trailed off as he held onto my hand gently, “I am so sorry princess, you are in this situation because of me.“You don’t look okay, Adonis” I reached out for his hand, “what happened?”One thing I have come to understand about this man is the fact that he could hide his emotions pretty easily but there is always that flicker in his eyes, th
ADONIS’s POV.I sat in silence as I continued to watch her slurp on her ice cream in silence. She looked so beautiful with her head down like that, one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever seen and I admire her so much.She tried as much as possible to help me and even went to the moon goddess. What surprised me the most was the fact that goddess Selene even agreed to meet her. Scarlett must really have a special place in her heart or she might just be keeping an eye on her.My phone beeped jolting me out of my thoughts and when I saw it was Ashely on the line, my countenance immediately changed.“What do you want?”“Can we meet up?” He asked me.“I don’t think you should want to meet me right now, Ashely. Severing your head from your body is still on the list of things I wanna do so you better stay away from me for the time being.“Please, Adonis….“I am fucking serious” I growled in anger before ending the call and slamming the phone on the table.“What happened?” Scarlett asked
SCARLETT’s POV.We both laid in bed, his hand snaked around my waist and my naked body pulled against his. My cheeks flushed just thinking about the most amazing moment we have just had. The best sex I have ever had and it was with fhs man I loved with everything I have ever got.“You know you could get pregnant right?” His voice jolted me out of my thoughts.“Hmm” I nodded, “I am well aware of that”“And still..,“I want to have your baby” I cut him off, “we lost our babies once and I don’t want to miss an opportunity to get another”“But you know I won’t be here..,.” I could hear the panic and the pain in his voice as he said those words, I sniffed not wanting to allow the tears to fall. I was well aware of this and it hurt me so much, so much that I wished I could take his place.“Even though you won’t be here, you will be watching us from afar and taking care of us right?”I wanted to make the atmosphere as warm as possible, I didn't want him to feel any ounce of pain or pressure
SCARLETT’s POV..“No” I half yelled as I jumped off the bed, “I am not going to put a fucking dagger in your chest”How could he even ask this of me? How could he look into my eyes and ask me to put a fucking dagger in his chest? How would I even be able to weild a dagger against him. My heart broke as his words continued to echo in my head.“I am not going to fucking do that” I spit in anger before slamming the bathroom door shut.I slumped on the ground as hard bitter tears rolled out of my eyes.I wasn’t even over our baby’s death yet and he was already asking me to kill him? Did he want to leave that bad? Was he so tired of me?“Baby?” His voice called out to me, just outside the door, “I know you can hear me”“Go away” I hissed, “I am not in the mood to talk to you. How could you ask that of me? How could you ask me to kill you”“Sooner or later, you would have to do that, scarlet” I heard him also slump on the ground too, his back ti the wall.“You and I know we can’t keep me a
