**SCARLET'S POV**

When I opened my eyes, I was on my bed in my room. I groaned heavily as the lights from the window blinded my vision slightly. My head was fuzzy with pain, and every movement sent sharp waves of pain through my body.

It felt like the entire world had just come crashing on me, my breath catching in my throat as if each exhale amplified the pain. I tried to get up, but a searing pain shot up from my chest, spreading through my body like fire.

“Scarlet, for goddess sake, rest on the bed.” I turned to see my mother dashing into the room with a glass of water and some pills. She looked pale with worry, and I could guess she was the one that found me.

“What’s happening?” I groaned. “I can’t feel my head.”

“Sorry, baby.” She placed a damp towel on my head. “I was scared when I found you at the end of the stairs. I thought something terrible happened to you.” She choked back her tears. “Do you remember anything that happened?”

“I remember coming home and searching for you. T

    ELIAS'S POVAs I drove back to the pack, I couldn't get Scarlet out of my head, no matter how hard I tried. The way she gazed into my eyes left me in awe. I had never felt that way before but it was soothing to the soul.Such beautiful eyes she had with a low, sexy voice that left me breathless.I remembered when I first met her; she couldn’t even remember that day as I narrated it to her. She was at the store with her sister, shopping for a birthday dress. I could vividly remember how beautiful she looked with her wild red hair. I wanted to claim her the instance I saw her but her excitement over finding her mate once she’s eighteen stopped me from doing that. Since then, I had watched her like I was her personal bodyguard. It still amazed me that she didn’t ever notice me, lurking in the background, following her to every store and her favorite places. Well, she was Scarlet, unique but quite clumsy. My heart was filled with anger as well as a great feeling of irritation, but it w

    SCARLET'S POVI jolted up from my bed, panting heavily like I had just completed a marathon. I stared at the whitewashed ceiling as I tried to catch my breath.I had a nightmare, a gruesome one. I didn’t want to even recall what I saw but it was too scary to forget. What could it mean? I couldn't wrap my head around it, no matter how hard I tried.I opened the bottle of water sitting on my desk and gulped it down. I wiped my forehead which was dripping with sweat and exhaled. The door to the room flung open seconds later. My mother stood in front of me, looking concerned."Honey, are you okay? I heard you screaming.” She inched toward me and placed her hand on my forehead. “You’re burning up.” I shook my head slightly. “It’s nothing really serious mum. I just had a nightmare.” "Are you sure you’re okay?”“Yes.” I breathed. “I guess it’s normal with everything that’s been going on. It was just really scary.” “Everything is going to be fine, okay?” I nodded. “Now, get ready. You

    SCARLET'S POVI stared into oblivion as a thousand thoughts ran through my mind. None of them explained why the Vice chancellor would want to see me. To think he had come himself and didn't send someone to call me was alarming.What could the Vice chancellor want with me for him to call me to his office? I couldn't think of any reason and neither could I wrap my head around it. I rose from my seat immediately and followed behind him to his office. “Sir, is everything okay?” I asked as I followed him, my heart beating furiously. “When we get to my office, we will talk about whether everything is okay or not.” He answered briskly.The Vice-Chancellor was a very stern man and that scared me. I had never gotten into any trouble on campus but I was quite aware that my attention wouldn’t be demanded on an ordinary day. Something had happened and that’s why he came to fetch me himself. My mind quickly darted back to Brad’s threat. Could he have hurt my sister as a way to get back at me? I

    SCARLET’S POVI sat frozen in the Vice chancellor's office, unable to move or even think about what to do. How could this be happening to me? Why was I so unfortunate with everything? I couldn’t stop the tears that flowed down my eyes, each drop carrying the weight of my unspoken pain. I couldn't let the Alpha treat me this way. I couldn’t be an object of ridicule to them, and allow them push me to be with Brad. I didn’t need any convincing to know that Brad wasn’t the one for me. Not only did he subject me to emotional abuse on the very first day of being my mate but he was now about to force me to mate with him. Initially, I believed he had somehow had a change of heart but he was only after his own personal gain. The door to the office flung open and the Vice-chancellor walked in. He had left earlier with Alpha Thomas to discuss some personal issues. When I spotted him, I flew to my feet and wiped the tears off my face."Are you alright?" He asked even though he saw my swollen ey

    SCARLET'S POVAs I raced across the hallway, pausing every second to catch my breath, my eyes darted around in search of Brad. I needed to speak to him and most importantly, find out the truth.I was conflicted but I wasn’t angry with him anymore. At least not like I was earlier. I couldn’t get what he told me in the morning out of my head. And after Valerie’s confrontation, I realized he told me the truth. He dumped Valerie for me. He broke up with his long time girlfriend, the most beautiful she-wolf in the pack because of me. And I couldn’t think of it as anything but an act of love. Or why else would he break up with Valerie, whom he had been with for a very long time?I had a few answers in my head but I considered the most logical ones. Either he realized our bond was stronger than he imagined. Or he actually wanted me as his mate. I felt my heart thumping at the possibility that he was in love with me. That he had somehow given up everything he used to care about because of m

    SCARLET'S POVI was disgusted by Brad but he was the only person who could save me. And judging from the way he was glaring at Valerie, I could tell he was still in character. He was still playing his game and believed I was oblivious about it. He walked up to Valerie with a thick frown laced across his face. She shuddered as she hid her hands behind her back. I could see the uneasiness in her eyes, the fear coursing through her body as she tapped her feet anxiously. “What is wrong with you?” Brad fired immediately he got to us. Zoey released me and staggered back, unable to meet Brad’s eyes. They were terrified of him and at that moment, it was a good thing for me.“I-I can…” Valerie stammered and I almost exploded with laughter. “I-I can…” Brad imitated her, scrunching up his face in disgust. “Why are you suddenly unable to talk? Weren’t you all mouthy before I got here?”I chuckled faintly within myself, watching the drama unfold between them. For once, it felt nice to be the su

There was no genuine affection, only calculated schemes and manipulation.My heart throbbed heavily against my chest, as if it might burst in seconds. I took a deep breath, my hand clenching into a fist. I opened my mouth to speak when my hand inadvertently landed on the table. The contents gracefully flew out of the plate, descending to the ground. I didn’t know how that happened but I couldn't have been more grateful that it transpired at that moment.His countenance shifted as he observed the food at his feet. "My goodness. I am sorry this happened," he murmured as he rose to his feet.I managed a faint smile as I looked down at the mess, twiddling with my hands. My

Nothing I saw was real, it was just a nightmare.It made no sense why I was being hunted in my dreams by Brad. Why I couldn’t close my eyes without seeing him trying to hurt me. It was all scary, too scary for me to understand. My heart was thumping heavily against my chest as I sank back to my seat. I paused the song that was playing on my phone as I stared into oblivion. I didn’t know why life wanted till I was eighteen to dump all these on me. Every day was a struggle, a fight to be happy and sane. I swallowed heavily as I considered the solution to my problems. Accepting Elias as my mate was the simple solution to my problem. Beads of sweat formed across my forehead, my mind imagining Alpha Thomas’ reaction to the news. He would lose his mind, could even try to go after my family. But that was why I needed to fill Elias in

    SCARLET'S POV. Egg after egg dropped, filling the space, and I couldn't help the feeling of raw panic eating me up. I had ever seen such a monster with different traits. It has pincers like scorpions and made loud noises. It buzzed like a bee, and was so solid even though it was made of ants. It was laying eggs which was really unbelievable, but what scared me was that I didn't know what would happen if the eggs happened to hatch. What creature would we see there, and how would they eat us up?I took in deep breaths, as me and Elias were pushed together. I couldn't help myself. It felt like I would suddenly scream, and go out. The eggs fell against us, and it was then I knew I couldn't help myself. “Elias!” I called out, as my hand closed over his shirt tightly. My mouth opened wide, and I fought for breath, but couldn't find it. “Scarlet, Scarlet, breathe!” Elias said, looking at me intently, as I hit my chest, trying to breathe. My eyes filled up with tears, and it felt like I w

    RALPH'S POVEstelle looked at us all, enjoying the looks of shock on the faces of the men. Then she walked over to me, and bent, placing a hand on the table, and the other behind my chair. I wouldn't deny the ice in her eyes. Everything about her seemed cold, and although I hated her being that close to me, I did not budge. I stared at her right in the eye, without fear. “You must be having a hard time, right?” She spoke softly. “Well, I've had a harder time.” She said, then straightened up, without taking her eyes off me for a second. She seemed to built for revenge, and in her eyes were the echoes of pain, and cold. She took a few steps backwards, before giving a smile that didn't reach her eyes, then she turned away, walking out of the hall. The elders all looked like they had been holding their breaths, and they let it out quickly, looking at each other. “I believe we've discussed all we need to discuss.” I said, getting to my feet. Sitting around, doing nothing was something

    RALPH’S POVI dressed in my room, trying hard so time wouldn't run out on me. There was a council meeting scheduled for the day, and I had to attend instead of Elias. The council elders had sent in multiple envelopes, all demanding to see Elias. ‘Where is the Alpha?’‘What is the Alpha planning on doing?’‘Is Alpha Elias aware that things are becoming even worse?’They had sent in all kinds of questions, and I understood their impatience. It was all stemming from the fear Estelle had woven into their hearts. A knock came on my door. “Come in.” I said, brushing my hair. If I didn't look my best, they would assume Elias didn't know what he was doing, and that he had just put some random person on his throne. I really hoped he and Scarlet would make it back alive, and quickly because I was in no way fit for an Alpha. A maid walked in with toast on a tray. “No, no, I'm fine. I didn't ask for breakfast.” I said, but she didn't retreat. “Before leaving, Alpha Elias gave me strict ord

    SCARLET’S POVWe fell mercilessly, hitting the rough edges, getting bruises all over. I landed on the ground with my head in an awkward position, before straightening up, and looking at Elias, who was sprawled on the ground, breathing hard, as he looked up at the sky. I looked around. Apparently, we had fallen in some kind of hole. Due to taking quick hasty breaths, the dust managed to get into my nose, and I sneezed hard. We heard the strange buzzing sound, and I covered my mouth, only for another sneeze to come true. I sneezed again, and Elias scrambled to his fist to cover my mouth. I held his hand there, willing myself not to sneeze. Eventually, I let out a tiny one, and with my eyes watering, I looked around, taking Elias' hands off my mouth. Everywhere was dusty. It was probably because we had fallen through it. All the dust seemed to be settling. “What do we do now?” I whispered, giving a little cough, as I tried to swipe the dust away from settling on my face.“I think w

    THIRD PERSONIt wasn't just Elias who felt the tendrils of fear squeezing his heart. Scarlet felt it too, and it felt like her chest was on fire, just from wondering what would happen. The mere terror that the clanging sound generated made her heart beat faster at every clang. It was too much for her to handle. She looked around repeatedly, and the soft wind whipped her hair into her face, which she brushed back with both hands. Already, her palms were cold and sweaty, and the anxiety was just too much. She needed the suspense to be over. “What do you think that is?” She asked Elias, still looking around, trying to guess what could be the reason for the weird sound. “I have no idea.” Elias replied, as the sound grew louder. “We should… I think we should move on.” Scarlet suggested, wanting to make a move. It was so obvious that whatever was approaching them with the weird sound wasn't single. It wasn't two, nor was it three. It was definitely a lot.“I say we wait.” Elias replied,

    ELIAS’ POVI couldn't understand the fear and anxiety filling me up. It wasn't the first time Scarlet and I had been on a journey, or been faced with dangerous creatures, and people, but still there was that nervousness. That whispering voice that told me my fears were not twisting lies in my head, but trying to bore the truth into me. Something really awful could happen, and I might be unable to escape it with Scarlet by my side. Either way, I hated the feeling. The whole place spoke, and gave an aura of power, dark power, and it boasted too easily of how we could get killed. It was the main reason for my fears. The man looked at us, and even without the features on his face, I was somehow able to tell that he had a smile on. Then, I looked at Scarlet. She also seemed lost in thoughts, and it would be the best time to try to convince her, but she would despise me for it. It was better I carried out her wish, than to let my fear get the best of me. “We are willing to try. After

    Scarlet and Elias couldn’t help but admit within themselves that they were overwhelmed by fear. Elias knew how dangerous the journey was, and this made him even more scared. “Well, hello.” The man spoke, in an eerie tone. “Who the hell are you?” Elias managed to question him, as they were both wary of him. “A question which actually isn’t the major concern. But I’ll tell you one thing. If you dare try to escape, because it’s only expected of you to want to run from me, you won’t be able to get to the world beyond.” “Uhn!” Elias exclaimed softly, not knowing whether to believe the man or not. “Yeah. To make things more understandable for you, I am the passage to the world beyond, which only means without me, you can’t go into the world beyond. So, now, I hope you know that it is only unwise of you to run from me. And if you have enough time to waste, you can actually run from me, and when you realize you’ve been wasting your time, you’ll come back, and definitely meet me here.” Bo

    SCARLET’S POV It was dawn already, and was time for us to set out for her journey. If it was an outing, I would have been so excited about it, but then, it was a dangerous journey which we are just going on for the sake of a friend which we have taken as a family. Even from the name, the world beyond, one would have known that it isn’t a place one can take lightly. For Elias to have been so adamant on us not going there, it was evident that it wasn’t like other dangerous places that we have gotten ourselves into. “Are you certain you are ready?” Elias asked me as we headed towards the woods. “I am more than ready.” I responded to him, not wanting to sound discouraging. Even if I wanted to sound discouraging, it shouldn’t be from here when he could easily turn back and by then, whatever I do, might not make him change his mind, anymore. We didn’t have to walk too much before we got to the woods, and that only made me feel a little anxious. But then, I had to stop myself from getti

She might be able to help us with an information. You know she was captured by Estelle. She must have seen a lot which would be very helpful for us.” “I understand. Just look for better ways to convince him regarding something than hurting yourself. Well, let me leave you to go over to meet him. I’m sure he’s so annoyed with both you, and himself. You’ve got to make him feel he isn’t making the wrong decision.” “Alright! I’m on it.” “He’s in the garden, by the way.” Ralph informed me, and I smiled lightly. “Thanks.” I appreciated him, then I stepped out of the room and walked towards the garden. On getting to the garden, I saw him standing and gazing at the sky with both hands in his pockets. I knew he was going through a lot, and had a lot of responsibilities burdening him. So, all he needed was things to go a bit eas
