Pierce and I stood at the bar closer to the exit. I was laughing uncontrollably as he was telling me some silly joke about what girls do to get his attention. Little bastard.
"Let's go for a dance Scar." He said pulling me on the dance floor where other couples were dancing. I forgot what a good dancer he is sometimes. We danced till the song ended. I told Pierce thanks before making way off the dance floor. I felt someone tugged on my hand.
"Pierce I told you no more dances." I groaned.
"Good, because I'm not Pierce." I turned around as soon as I heard what the deep and sexy male voice said.
My mouth went dry as I saw who it was.
Julian.
He looked devilishly handsome in his all black suit that clung to his massive chest that had been customized for his frame only. He stood a good height of 6'9 towering over me. I felt small under his watchful gaze and his freakishly tall height was intimidating. His perfectly disheveled hair fell around his face nicely and his eyes had a mixture of emotions flickering across them. I swear, I drooled a little. A smirk form at his ever so nice lips.
"Are you done ogling me? I would really like to dance now." His tone teasing and commanding at the same time. I nod as I couldn't bring myself to say anything. I let him guide me onto the dance floor as he place one hand on my bare back and I place my small hand in his large one.
His hand at my back was making me go wild with excitement. He pulled me in close and my chest connected with his and his masculine scent filled my nostrils. It was pure male mixed with expensive cologne. His face was in my neck as he was breathing steadily. My eyes fluttered at the mere contact. Julian I moaned in my head. This greek god who has roam my dreams from the moment I saw him in the woods.
"Why are you here?" I asked, trying to sound upset at his presence. But I failed miserably.
He chuckled looking down at me.
"Watch your tone, little one." He said, his voice low and sexy at the same time.
"After all you are the daughter of an Alpha, isn't that right Scarlett ." He said saying my name with such fierceness in his voice. My legs began tremble.
"So? What's your point?" I wasnt even surprise that he knew my name. It sounded so good rolling off his tongue.
Damn I wanted him!
"The Alpha who's your father, is the same Alpha I just formed an alliance with, and probably more. So if I were you I would be nice."
Anger boiled within me. If it's one thing I hate, it's being told what to do. And I don't take commands from assholes, no matter how good looking they are.
"You asshole! I hissed. "What are you playing at?" I was so furious I wanted to slap him so hard.
"I don't play games Scarlett. I'm a grown man, with a grown man agenda. I just like to get to the point." He said firmly.
The words dripping off his tongue, so smooth, so autocratic and so damn sexy. I wanted that tongue to be dripping something else.
I mentally slapped myself at the rude comment.
The dance came to an end and I quickly made my way off the dance floor. I came out the ballroom and made my way to my room where I stood outside on the balcony. I felt a shadow appear behind me. I didn't need to turn around to know he was there. His presence behind me had me aroused and he hadn't even touch me.
"Don't you dare walk away from me again the way you just did now." He said in a low tone, sounding angry. His breath fanned against my ear and trail down to my neck.
"And what will you do?" I challenge him. My body on fire at this point.
I need to get away. Fast too.
I now turned around facing him. My eyes never leaving his. I walked pass him and he hold on to my hand. "Let me go now!" I nearly yelled.
He pulled me into my room and closing the door, seeing that it was left open when he came in. He then held my wrists above my head, imprisoning me. His eyes went to a beautiful shade of gold just like the time in the woods. His face was close to mine I could feel his breath on my face. My breathing seem to have quicken. My lips felt dry. I licked my lips to moisture them.
"Never challenge me Scarlett." He said lethally.
His eyes were mesmerizing, so full of lust. His eyes still on mine, he used his free hand and hike up the end of my dress. The cool air from the balcony, hit my warm skin. I was wearing a red thong. His eyes looked down and saw the color of my underwear.
The color of his irises were now glowing. The passion and ecstasy flickered across them. He shift my thong and found that I was wet. He brought his face in the crook of my neck where he sucked, nipped and bite at my flesh.
"Julian..." I trailed off hopelessly, my hands still immobile above my head.
"Shh. You're mine. I want to make you come." He whispered in my ear.
Oh shit! I need this despicable man.
"You wouldn't dare." I told him.
"Try me." He countered. "You've disturbed my sleep, my dreams, my thoughts, and interrupted my bachelor life with this mate shit! I can't even think straight. I'm so fucking drawn to you like a fucking addict drawn to a drug! Damn you."
And he crashed his lips against mine. This wasn't no gentle or passionate kiss. This was more of a possessive kiss, his lips on mine with such authority was already creating something between my legs even more. I wanted to push him away or kick him in his crotch. But his legs were between my thighs making my dress creep up my legs, not to mention my hands were still imprisoned by his large one.
He broke the kiss and a small whimper escaped from me. We were both breathing hard now. He started kissing my cheek till he came down to my neck. Sucking and nipping at my flesh once again, I wanted to run my damn hands in his just-fuck-me-hair. His free hand started trailing down on my bare back rubbing it gently forming small circles around there. My breathing hitched in my throat as his hand came in contact with one of my breast. I moan instantly at the contact. He was squeezing it gently making my nipples go hard against the material.
"I want you to hold your dress up for me." He whispered to me. He released my wrists and I did as I was told. I followed his command, holding my dress up, cursing myself for wearing a thong tonight.
The red French cut mesh panties, made his eyes flash with pure lust. He kiss me again, but not the brutal kind. This kiss was subtle and he explored my mouth with his. His lips still lock onto mine, both hands roaming up and down on my leg, making me shiver.
Just a sec…
we've got a video ad loading up.I wasn't going down without a fight.I saw his legs widen and I decided it was now or never. I place both hands on his broad shoulders and placed my mouth against his ear,"Julian you're really are an amazing piece of shit." And knee him right between his thighs.
Bulls eye!
A loud thud hit ground.
"You bitch!" He spat his body in a fetal position. His hand covering his shaft.
I stoop down to his level and said, "Never challenge me Julian." And I approached the door, giving him one last glance before walking out.

~~~Julian's Pov I still hadn't told Chazz about my mate. We went on our usual morning run in our wolf form, dashing and sprinting through the woods. It was exhilarating as Chazz and I were racing to the river that lay ahead. Chazz and I rushed out of the woods the exact same time and leap in the river howling at the cold temperature it was in. I came out of the river and shaking my grey fur before shifting back into human form. I put on the shorts that lay on the cool grass. Chazz was enjoying his time in the river, he shortly came out as he waggle his white fur splashing droplets of water onto my dry skin. I let out a curse and he laughed."So what happened to you last night?" He asked sheepishly. "And dont lie Jules I'm not stupid.""The Alpha wants me to oversee his pack." I stated coolly."Why? Doesn't he have a son for that?" Chazz asked incredulously."Yes, he does. But he doesn't think he's ready. Don't worry I'm thinking about it." Chazz took a deep breath before answering,
~~~Scarlett's PovI punched the punching bag that hung from the ceiling in the gym. My gloves connecting with the object rapidly, one jab after the other. Sweat beaded at my forehead. My arms felt swore but I didn't care. I swing my leg toward the bag kicking it like my life depended on it. I didn't pay attention to the other pack members around me. I needed to burn some steam and probably to stop think about Julian.I looked at the tangible object one last time before punching it rapidly again. My chest was heaving hard, as my lungs wanted to catch air into them. My eyes heated as I brought my fists toward the hard spongy material, hitting it firmly causing the bag to move back and forth. I took my gloves off and place them in the dispenser. I headed back to my station where I collected my bag off the ground and headed through the door. I place my bag on my shoulder while rummaging through it to find my ipod.I had a strong belief that music is life and when it hits you feel no pain.
We arrived at Club 876 to see a long line of patrons waiting to go inside. "Great how are we going to get in now?" Nina groaned as I parked the car in an empty slot. That was a good question. "Just have some faith." I told her in my cheery voice."Fine." She muttered. We got out the car and headed toward the line. Everyone was staring. Including the bouncer at the door."Well well well isn't it Scarlett Ross." The bouncer said as he place both hands infront of him like a secret agent. I looked closely at the man in front of me and smiled as I recognize his face."J.T is that you?" Laughing as I approached him."Long time no see. How you doing?" He said. He was a big guy with big muscles and he wore a full black suit adorned with a pair of black ray bands that hid his eyes."I'm good. Just came to have a good time. Can you squeeze me and my best friend in J.t?" I asked giving him my best puppy dog eyes while pouting my lip at him. "Anything for the future Luna. Enjoy your night ladi
~~~Julian's PovWhen I entered Club 876 I was wondering what the hype was about. I saw the patrons forming a circle around some group of girls dancing. Chazz and I, along with four of my men decided to head out and check out this new club on Bombay Street. We stand a few feet away from the crowd observing. Some of the people recognize who I am and made head signals to say "hi". I heard some ladies whispering about me and Chazz saying how good we looked."The one with the dark brown hair looks hot!" The brunette said excitedly."His blonde friend is eye candy too!" A next one said. Chazz smirked. And I couldn't help but smile."Oh my god his smile is breath taking." One cooed. I shaked my head and tune them out. I was looking intently on the group of girls dancing and I instantly saw red. Scarlett.What the fuck is she doing here?! Is that a man behind her?! Grinding on her too! Chazz sense my change in mood. His eyes followed my line of vision and saw what I was looking at."Calm
~~~Scarlett's Pov I was sleeping peacefully. The memories of last night came to haunt me. Julian! I jolted up in the middle of the king size bed. Sun rays were streaking through the glass doors that lead to the balcony. I felt my face and sweat bedded my forehead, I swallowed hard. I remove the blanket and crawl out the bed. My heels clicking on the marble tile, as I made my way to the bathroom to check on my appearance. I had fuzzy hair and my make-up was all over my face making me look like a drag queen. Crap! I closed the bathroom door deciding that I was going to take a shower. I stripped out my clothes and went into shower stall, I turned on the shower jets and the water felt warm against my sweaty skin. I wash myself from head to toe feeling the tension being released from my body. I quickly got out and scan the bathroom for a towel. I saw a cabin and open it quickly to look for a towel, I was relieved when the white fluffy material laid in front of my eyes. I grabbed it an
~~~Nina's Pov I woke up in a random bed that I just couldn't seem to pull myself out of. I was enjoying my sleep. But my muscles felt sore and tender, my throat was dry as well as sore. I had a massive headache pounding in my head, like when a drill is being bored into a brick wall. Oh fuck. I felt like I was dying. Where am I? The only thing I can remember from my very vague memory right now, was a cute blond with ocean blue eyes carrying me to his car as I drunkenly told him I was friends with Scarlett Ross. Oh no! Scar! Like a bolt of lightening I instantly jolted up in the middle of the bed. I was engrossed with my own thoughts I forgot about my friend for a minute. Holy shit. I try and calm myself. I closed my eyes and relax, panicking about this right now won't help solve the situation. I remove the blanket that I was nicely wrapped in and saw that I still had on my same clothes from last night. So I didn't have sex with that random-sexy-hunk of a stranger. Good, I thought to
~~~Scarlett's Pov"Julian a word please." I said through gritted teeth. I walked off in the direction of his study. I couldn't believe he said that to Nina. I hadn't told her about Julian as yet. She is going to be so piss at me for not saying anything. I stand in the middle of the room with my hands folded across my chest, my foot was tapping on the hard wood and I was breathing heavily through my nostrils. I was going to kill Julian, Alpha or not. He had no right to discuss my business like that.I saw him enter through the door and I was livid even more. His eyes connected with mine and I could feel that he had sense that I was immensely pissed. "Scarlett whatever you're thinking you should just hear me---" I silence him with my right hand. "Enough Julian. You already said your piece, now you need to shut up and listen to me." I glared at him. "How dare you tell Nina that I was your mate like that? You had no right. We hadn't even discuss this yet. I'm going home, like I've alway
Seven Months Later with baby in tow...*** Scarlett's PovHit.My body convulsed at the wave of pain that woke me in the middle of night. I removed the covers and turn on the lamp that sat on top of the night stand. I look down on my bed where I was sitting, where a liquid substance was covering my legs and the sheets. Hit.I was breathing heavily right now. Sweat bedded my forehead, as it was run down the sides of my face. I scream out so loud that I think Julian could've heard it all the way in England. Ugh! Fucking England! After Julian's proposal on the boat, we decided it would be a good idea to get married before the baby was born. So we did. During our reception, Julian received an emergency call that he was needed immediately to take care of some pack issues in England. Something about rogues attacking the city and killing innocent civilians.Knowing my husband, he was quick to assist Uncle Thorn because he was the only father figure he knew. Which meant he respected him en
*** Julian's Pov I've been up since morn' making the necessary preparations for Scarlett's big surprise. Last night had a big one for me and Scarlett, I confessed that I slept with Elana. If I want this relationship to work, I have to be honest with her. I don't want her to look at me like I disappointment, a liar moreover a possible regret. I don't want her to regret that she's my mate. I have to come clean and hope whatever the outcome is, I will still have her in my life. But before I could do that, I have to ensure that I straighten things out with the members of the Ross's family. I know how family is a big thing for Scarlett so I wanted to ensure everything was good with them.I was currently in the living room of the Ross's household sitting opposite from her parents.."How can we trust that you won't hurt my daughter again Julian?" Mrs. Ross questioned me with a stern expression on her face. Her arms were folded across her chest."You have to trust me that nothing like that
I quickly turn away from his smoldering gaze because I didn't want him to see the truth in my eyes. I squeeze my eyes shut from keeping the tears from falling.He walked over to where I was standing and spin me around to face him. He captured my hands in a tight grip, holding them close to his chest. I looked up at him with my eyes filled with emotion. "Are you sleeping with him, Scarlett?" He asked softly. "What?" I whispered in shock. "You heard me. Now answer the question." He urged.His granite expression meant that he was serious. I snatched my hands out of his steel like grip and crack my hand against his cheek. "How dare you insult me the way you just did. I'm not sleeping with him you bastard, you and I are not in the same category Mr. Cesario. Furthermore, I'm pregnant you insensitive asshole!"I examined my bruised hand, looking at the purple faded scars that were now left there. I turned my back to him as I rubbed my hand to ease the pain."You're pregnant?" I didn't ans
***Julian's Pov It was minutes to eight when Chazz and I pulled up to the Ross's mansion. The parking lot was full with all sorts of expensive looking cars and limousines that were lined up neatly on the asphalt ground. Valets conglomerated outside the Ross's mansion entrance patiently awaiting the arrival of guests and celebrities to attend the gala of the century. I brought my vehicle at a stop at the entrance, where a valet was readily waiting upon our arrival. Chazz and myself, along with two other men, for security purposes, exited the car. I throw the young valet my keys and warned him not to let anything happen to my vehicle, or else he wouldn't like the consequences. The young lad paled at my comment, nodding his head that he understood what I was saying to him. I shake my head at the young man as he was clearly about to collapse under my strict gaze.Chazz came out the car along with the other two men. I went around to the passenger side and the valet went around the drive
***Scarlett's PovIt had been two hours since my mother decided to drag me out of my bed to look at the various dresses down in the living room for tonight's gala. I wasn't impressed with any of the choices that the stylist had picked. Albeit I was two months pregnant and going, I didn't want my baby bump to be showing to the public as yet. I mean, a pregnant Luna without her mate wasn't what I was going for. Believe it or not people love to talk. I just didn't want to be the main topic of their idle gossip tonight."Sweetheart," my mother called me from my thoughts. "You need to pick a dress." I was sitting on the couch in our living room. The stylist had about six different racks of beautiful dresses. Maybe if I'd actually paid attention I could actually pick something nice. But I didn't want to go for nice tonight. I wanted to go for jaw - dropping - I - don't - look - like - I'm - two - months - pregnant look. Or was that too much? Either way, I made my way over to the stainless
*** Friday Evening 6:02pm...I was tired. I'd just finish helping Nina and Pierce work on their choreography for tomorrow's gala in the studio of the pack house. I grab my bottle of water from beside the stero system and gulp it down generously. "Easy tiger." My brother teased.I flipped him my middle finger as I took the last gulp of my water and blech. "Oops, sorry bro." I quickly cover my mouth embarrassed at what I just did."Nasty." He made a face as he glared at me up and down. "Just nasty.""Shut up fool." I playfully slapped his arm and laughing."Okay, we're heading out Scar." Nina gave me a quick hug and peck my cheek. "Thanks again babe." "See you later sis." Pierce ruffled my hair."Asshole." I muttered. "Love you too." He chuckle as he walked out the studio door with Nina in tow.I sat on the chair that was in the room. Ever since last week till now, I've been taking care of myself. I don't worry about anything much right now. Every now and then, I think about him, and
We stood in Scarlett's room. She was still sleeping, she seem to have impove because color was returning to her skin.Couple seconds later, Dr. Jackson appeared in the room."Morning everyone." She acknowledges us. We quickly mumble the same greeting back to her."So we've run some tests, and Scarlett is fine and healthy." She informed all of us. Everyone was super relieve to hear the good news, especially my mother. "Oh thank God." My mother breathed as she place her hand over her chest."However, we did come across something else though." There was a deafening silence in the room."What is it doctor?" Dad spoke up for us."Well you see, Nina told us that she fainted as well as her skin tone was pale. Her blood count was low too. She hasn't been properly eating either, and she seem a bit stressed as well."Nobody spoke. We weren't really sure where she was going with this."We found out that Scarlett is pregnant." "Oh my God, doctor." My mother was once again relieved. "This is t
***Alpha Caine's PovMy wife and I sat in the canteen of the Watson's Memorial Hospital drinking a hot cup of steaming coffee. She held the coffee mug with both of her hands staring at it impassively."Katerina," I started off. She still stared at her mug in her hands. "Talk to me." I took my hands and grasp hers, giving her a tight squeeze for reassurance that I was here for her."How are you so calm about this, Caine?" She mumbled finally looking into my tired eyes. "I know my daughter. She's a fighter just like her mom." I gave her a small smile. She shakes her head. "I just want my little girl to be okay.""And what makes you think our little girl won't be okay?" I didn't like the fact that my wife was harboring doubts that Scarlett wasn't going to be okay. Is not like she had cancer, and she'll be losing the hair on her head anytime soon. God forbid man, she just fainted. For some strange reason I wasn't worried. Why? I didn't know."I'm just scared, okay!" She affirms. "Baby
I was in deep sleep. Sleeping away my pain, my humiliation, my pride and my broken heart. I couldn't believe this. God, I messed up big time. No mate. No love. No nothing. My senses felt numb. My eyes sore due to the heavy flooding of tears I was shedding. "Come to bed Julian." That one line was on constant replay in my mind. Like a scratch record. My brain failed to erase it. It was a just a reminder of how badly I'd fucked up. "Scarlett!" I heard someone calling my name. I didn't pay it any mind. Didn't want to acknowledge it."Scarlett Ross!" The person sounded again."Wake up!" I groaned at this intruder who was breaking me from my slumber of thoughts. I didn't want my best friend to see me like this, vulnerable, pathetic and weak. But what could I do, he's my mate for christ sakes. But it was already too late, Nina had burst through my door fuming, I'd imagined."Oh my God, Scarlett..." She whispered as she came closer to my bed and looked at my current state. She sat down on
