BRAD’S POVEven as much as I feared Scarlet’s unbelievable skill or power, I still resented her. It was annoying that she had trampled on my ego, just like that.And now, she was moving with just anyone she wanted. I let out a frustrated sigh, and bit my lips as I stared into blank space, thinking of what to make do of this situation.Suddenly, one of the hot girls I used to move with, appeared right in front of me. The guards must have let her in, since I had invited her over multiple times after Valerie’s death, just to forget what was hurting my heart.“What are you doing here? I didn’t call you over.” I said to her, still wondering why she had bothered coming.“I figured out that you might need me, Brad” She said, looking sexy.I stared at her body. It was hot, and tempting, but I was frustrated than usual tonight. I wasn’t certain sex could take it away or should I say I would take my frustration out on her through sex and that wasn’t going to be sex as I was not certain she woul
ELIAS’ POVIt had been two weeks since I set my eyes on Scarlet, and ever since the time she shouted, adding to the misunderstanding, I had not laid my eyes on her, neither had I been able to visit her to settle whatever misunderstandings.I tried to distract myself from thinking about her often because they were far better things taking up my time and attention. Preparing for the war needed my full attention, time, and wits. There was no way I could be running after Scarlet, trying to make things up with her.“When the enemy attacks you, you need to fight back with all might, regardless of the position holds. Even if you come across the Alpha of their pack, and you feel you or more people can hold him down.” I said to the trainees under me.“Really? Are we allowed to do that?” One of the eager ones spoke out.“Yeah. They asked for it. The Alpha himself ruled the line for this war, and we’ll give it to them. There’s no way we could forget that he had asked for it.” I spoke with confi
Elias went back to the palace, feeling a bit annoyed at how it seemed as if Beatrice wasn’t taking his pain and frustration of not knowing what’s going on with Scarlet, seriously.He walked into his room, and laid down on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and blinking at intervals. At the end of this week, the war could likely break out, but the Royal Crest Pack didn’t announce a date for it.And that’s why Elias ensured that he trained those trainees as much as he could, to prepare them for the worst which could come from the Royal Crest Pack.A knock came on the door, and he sat up, and glanced at the door.“Come in.” He urged, and discovered it was his mother.“Mother, what brings you to my room?” He asked as she walked up to him, and sat on his bed.“Well, I just came to check in on you since you’ve been so busy, trying to train our men, and all other things too.”“Oh. Well, I’m glad they are catching up, and I think they are ready to be out in the war.”“I trust you. By the way, i
Beatrice got to Scarlet’s home, and she knocked several times, but there was no response. Beatrice then focused on her hearing, and discovered that no one was at home at that moment.“Where did she go to?” She said, under her breath as she turned around on the front porch, and glared at blank space.Scarlet on the other hand was out with both Sylvia, and Carla at an open restaurant. The restaurant had their customers eat outside in a garden, and it was quite lovelier than one could imagine.“Just wait and see. Some other people would actually copy this style.” Carla said as she munched on her food.“She’s actually right.” Sylvia supported, and cleaned her stained lips with a tissue paper.“Well, that’s not cool. We should allow one’s uniqueness to thrive for a long time before trying to jump on it.” Scarlet spoke, pouting her lips to express her disapproval.“That’s how the world works, and this has been its pattern even before we were born.” Carla said, and sipped her juice.Scarlet
Scarlet's heart broke into two before Beatrice could say another word. Seeing both Beatrice's and Elias' name, engraved in the wall seemed like they had a strong bold which someone like her couldn't break.“Why are you showing me this?” Scarlet questioned, looking at the wall, and not wanting to look at Beatrice in the eyes because she didn't want her to see her pain.She didn't want to look defeated, but her lips were trembling as she was fighting hard to hold her tears in.“Elias and I engraved our names here in the early times of our relationship, and the reason it's near a graveyard is because till death do us apart, we'll continue to love each other. So, now, do you understand why you can't rip us apart?”Scarlet couldn't bear any of the nonsense which Beatrice was spitting out, and then left immediately. Tears ran down her eyes as she backed Beatrice, running as fast as she could, until she got a cab.Beatrice was so glad that she had made Scarlet believe all she wanted her to b
“And to what do we owe your presence again, Beatrice?” Elias asked, wondering what it would take her to stop disturbing him.“I actually came to tell you what I was told. And that's not a crime, Elias.”“Alright, I'm all ears.”“Here? Let's talk in your room.” “Beatrice, I think you don't know how busy I am right now. I should be training the youngsters at this moment because I just had a meeting with my father. Talking to you right now is a privilege you're enjoying as my friend.” Elias said to her face.Beatrice was hurt at the word “friend”, but she decided to gulp the pain down and focusing on what was going to ruin the relationship between Scarlet and Elias until she can have her way fully and finally.This time, she promised not to let Elias slip out of her hands. She was going to ensure that the moment he comes back into her arms, there would be no leaving again.“Alright, alright. The person whom you love so much just told me that she doesn't care if both of us date, but she
SCARLET'S POVI was on the bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering if Elias was doing the same thing as me right now.Could he be tired of the rift as much as I was? Or should I just break it to him what he did, and hear out the excuse he would give.It's best to hear his words on that and to know what next to do, rather than avoiding him and the subject.Suddenly, I heard my door open. Carla rushed in, looking alarmed.“Did you hear?” She questioned, with her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.“About what?”“Our clan is currently in a war with the Lycans.” Carla informed me, and I shot up from the bed, and hurried over to the Lycans' kingdom.Carla and I got to the Lycans' kingdom and noticed that the war had ended. But most Lycans were down, and hurting.She didn't see Elias and wondered where he was until she asked one of the able warriors who was about to go and help some wounded warriors.“Please where is Elias?” she inquired, out of concern.If not because she was recogniz
SCARLET'S POVThe Great Masters looked really intimidating, and I could hardly keep eye contact with them as the power that flowed through their veins could snap me into two if I wasn't careful.I tried my best to calm my nerves down, so I would be able to concentrate on whatever I was here for.The Queen Mother didn't say they were going to hurt me, so I shouldn't be too scared, or I won't be able to leave here.“Y…yes, I came back. I… I felt kind of intimidated.” I explained, looking at them in fear, and hoping that my honesty would at least make them go easy on me.“We get that a lot. But you are the first to come in a short time. If you had come back in a long while, we could have decided to close your case.” The Great Wolf said, looking at me.I couldn't tell what reaction they had on their faces as they all wore a straight expression which baffled me.It meant I wouldn't know if they were angry or pleased.“So, what do you want?” The Great Vampire asked, resting his chin on his
