Scarlett
" Don't step out of the car," my father warned me without taking his eyes off the man who was approaching us." Dad?" I called him, gulping the lump that started to form in my throat. I am not a child to know that we are in the middle of a grave and dangerous situation.He turned his head sideways to look at me with wide eyes and then his eyes softened. I stared at him in confusion only to realize that I called him dad after 11 years. I stopped calling him that when he started to torture me for no reason after finding his mistress." Scarlett, listen to me and listen very carefully. I know you have learned to drive and one of the servants helped you," he said, making my eyes wide. How did he know that? Nia begged me not to tell anyone that she was teaching me. Now that he knows, we are both in trouble. But I care for her more than myself." Don't be scared. I already told her to continue teaching her after I found out. Now, when I get out of this car, I want you to drive if they catch me and you see something unusual. Leave me here and do not stop at any cost, drive as fast and as far as you can," he said in a hushed voice." Why? What did you do? I won't leave here alone, ``I said. My voice shook at every word that I uttered and tears started to form in my eyes." Listen, they are very dangerous people and I don't want you to be caught by them. You are my only daughter and I don't want to lose you either. You will find everything in the bag," he said as she motioned towards the backseat of the car with his eyes." Dad," I said, my voice breaking at the end with so much emotion. I didn't know what else to say or ask at that moment. A loud knock on the car made us snap our heads toward the front.The man was now standing right in front of the car with a smug look on his face. He motioned towards my father to come out with his head. I don't like his appearance. My father placed his hand on top of mine, making me look at him." I love you, Scarlett," he said." I love your mom," he said, as if he was seeing me for the last time. I tried hard to stop my tears but failed as a lone tear rolled down from my eyes." Don't be afraid, stay strong and stay away from the werewolves," he said and got out of the car.I looked at him as he got out of the car and walked towards the man. Who was now wearing a stupid smirk on his face? The man started to say something to my father and his whole body went stiff. I started to shift in my seat as I watched both of them. I was prepared for what he told me before getting out of the car.My father said something to the man in front of him, making his nose flare in anger as he looked at my father. I gasped when I saw his eyes flash colors. My father turned to me with a smile on his face, but I knew better his eyes were full of warnings and I shifted myself over to the driver's seat. I started the engine as my father mouthed me 'now'.I turned the car as fast as I could and looked at my father one last time. I saw tears, guilt, and regret in his eyes. Tears started to fall freely from my eyes as I watched my father being dragged by that man. Many other men came out of the cars and that was the last thing I saw before I stepped on the accelerator.Right now I need to get out of here and get help before they do something to my father. I wiped my tears away as I focused my attention on the road." Stay away from the werewolves," I couldn't wrap my mind around the last thing he said to me. I shook my head to clear my thoughts as I kept driving when my eyes caught something unusual in the tree line. I didn't slow down the car and kept driving when I took a glance.I narrowed my eyes, trying to see inside the dark forest. Soon my eyes went wide when I caught glimpses of the wolves that were kept running with the car. One of them looked at me and somehow looked angry."Sh.it," I had to step on the brake when I saw one huge brown wolf jump right in front of the car a few feet away.The wolf bared his teeth at me snarling, then I heard the howl of the wolves that made my blood run cold. I gulped, looking the wolf standing in front of the car in the eye. In the next second, the wolf jumped right out of the car. The only thing keeping me away from that wolf was the glass. And I knew it wasn't for him to break the glass.The wolf growled, making the glass shake, and then the thing I was afraid of happened. He started to hit the glass with his paws. The glass started to crack and I knew it wasn't long before the glass broke.I stared at the wolf while reaching to unlock the door. I needed to distract him before I escaped. I know I have a slim chance to survive tonight, but I won't give up that slim chance at any cost.The wolf stopped smashing the glass for a moment when there was another grey wolf emerging from the forest and he looked at the grey wolf. The brown wolf stared too into wolf's eyes, which gave me a feeling that maybe they were communicating. Taking this as a chance, I slowly stepped out of the car and made my way toward the forest as fast as I could without making any noise. Once I entered the forest, I started to run. Then I heard the howl of the wolf and I knew they found out I had escaped.lThe moon shone brightly over my head, showing the path I was going. The howling of the wolves was coming close and my heart hammered against my chest. I almost forgot how fast they are.My eyes started to burn with unshed tears which I blinked away. Then I saw the cliff. If there is a cliff, there should be a river, I thought mentally. I need to get into the water.The sound of paws hitting the ground came closer. I turned my head slightly to take a look at how far the beast was when I tripped on a branch and fell on the ground.The beast didn't give me a chance to get up as it jumped and landed in front of me. I looked at him and gulped as my life flashed before my eyes.Then I remembered this was the same wolf that I saw in my dreams. Black fur with red eyes. I scanned him and it was the same. When my eyes fell on his face, I saw him licking his lips before he charged at me.An ear-piercing scream left my mouth as he hovered over me and sank his teeth into my shoulders. I heard the sound of my bones breaking, the pain was so intense that for a moment I forgot to breathe. I knew I wouldn't survive and wouldn't see my father again if he was still alive. I had so many questions that I wanted to ask him." Asher," I heard a name before the darkness consumed me.Luke"Arghh…" I groaned, emptying myself into the condom as I came down from the height of pleasure. I sighed, thinking, No matter whom I spend my night with, it is always the exact same feeling that has been haunting me since I couldn't find my mate after I turned 18.After spending 4 years searching for her, I gave up on finding my mate. I don't think the moon goddess paired me with one.I don't find peace no matter whom I spend my time with. Evelyn is the one who I always call if I need to blow off my steam. I know she thinks that I will make her my mate and I only know the feeling. Every time we spend the night together, I always feel empty inside of my chest like there is a hole and only my fated mate can heal that.I sighed and rolled down on my back and away from Evelyn. I got up from bed and made my way towards the bathroom as I disposed of the used condom." Where are you going?" Evelyn asked, as she looked at me and supported herself on her elbows." You know exactly where I
ScarlettI woke up to a slow beeping sound. I blinked thrice before opening my eyes, adjusting to the blinding bright lights." Ummm," I moaned uncomfortably in pain as I tried to move." aah, my head," I mumbled to myself, my voice coming out hoarse." I see you are awake," a soft feminine voice said, making me gasp.My eyes snapped in the direction of the door from where that voice came.I saw a beautiful girl with red hair. She looked like a model in her mid-twenties. She looked at me and smiled, before looking down at the board that she was holding." Ummm," I groaned in pain when I tried to get up." don't. You will hurt yourself," the girl said, walking towards me.I looked around to observe my surroundings when my gaze fell on the machinery that was attached to my body. The pain in my left hand was so intense that it became cold." Where am I?" I asked in my hoarse voice. I tried to remember but I felt like my mind was in some kind of fog.My throat felt dry and rough from not
LukeHunter gave me control back all of a sudden. Taking the opportunity, I made sure he didn't bother me or anyone else. I have to tell Eric, one of our elders, about hunters, and why he is acting this way all of a sudden. He was never impatient with anything, but this time he crossed all the limits. I looked down at the girl in my arms and somehow felt content, but as soon as my gaze fell on her shoulder my heart clenched." Faster!" I growled out to whoever was driving the car. She won't be able to heal herself like us. And her bleeding isn't stopping as well." Umm," she moaned softly, making me look at her angelic face. Her face was now pale and contorted in pain." Alpha," Alex said from the front seat." We are here," as soon as the words left his mouth, one of our men came and opened the door. I got out of the car and, without wasting any time, I stormed right inside my packed house.I saw my family members waiting for me in the living room. I didn't have any doubt that the ne
Luke" Dude, you need to clean up before you go up there," Alex said through the mind link.I stopped in my tracks in the hallway and looked down at myself. I forgot that I was drenched in her blood. I changed my route to my library where there was a bathroom there and went in. I made my way toward the bathroom and stepped in." Bring my clothes to the library," I said to Alex through the mind link as I stood under the shower and switched it on.I closed my eyes as I let the cold water calm my nerves. As soon as my eyes closed, I saw her innocent face flash before my eyes, which made me snap my eyes open. I sighed and my eyes fell on the ground where the water became red, reminding me of the unconscious girl lying on my bed.I hurriedly started to scrub my body to wash off the dried blood." Alpha!" Maria's voice came through the link." Yes," I replied." The girl woke up!" She said carefully and went silent, making my body stiff.I felt like my mind was in Chaos as I didn't know whe
LukeAfter Maria left the room reluctantly, I looked at Scarlett who was now sleeping peacefully while her head was resting on my chest. From her face, she looked content and at ease.I sighed, closing my eyes as I was thinking of a way to let them meet. Hunter growled at me suddenly at my thoughts." Don't make this difficult for me," I said to him. He didn't reply to me and went silent.I looked at her again as I possessively wrapped my arm around her shoulder. I don't why I am feeling like she belongs to me." To us," Hunter growled, this time it sounded possessive and angry. I didn't respond to him.I placed Scarlett gently on the bed making sure not to wake her up, I placed a pillow under her head and she stirred a bit before going back to sleep again. I need her to be fully recovered before I search for my answers." Alpha, you need to see this," Alex said through the mind link." I will be there," I said to him.I got up from the bed and walked towards the door. I stopped at th
ScarlettI woke and stirred on the soft mattress I was lying on feeling fresh after a long time. I opened my eyes and looked around the room. The room was empty and the light was dimmed.Then I remembered that I was talking to the Greek god before I fell asleep, a blush made its way to my cheek as I bit my lower lips in embarrassment. I had never talked to any boy in my 17 years of life like this.I looked around the room for the first time since I woke up. The room was luxurious enough to make anyone know that whoever was the owner, he must be super rich.I looked at the machinery that was attached to my body earlier and was nowhere to be seen.I started to get up from bed and walked towards the door dragging my sore body. I hope I can find someone who can help me find alpha. I need to talk to him. I can't stay here for a long time knowing that my father isn't safe.I swung the door open and peeked outside. I found the hallway was empty. I decided to go anyway, thinking I would find
ScarlettSo many things were playing endlessly in my head as I saw his retreating figure until he vanished completely." Scarlett?" I was pulled out of my chain of thoughts as my father called my name and shook me by my arm." Huh?"" We need to get away from here," he said to me, looking at my eyes." Why?" I asked him in confusion." Why? Why? You are asking me why? Can't you see?" He said in a serious tone. I looked at him in confusion. Why is he acting this way when Luke is the one that saved me and him?" I don't understand," I said, looking at him." He is the reason why we are stuck here and he is the person that wants to kill me," he said through gritted teeth." What?" I said in disbelief. I stared at my father blankly as his words rang in my ears." How?" I breathed out. Unable to believe what my father said. How could he act so innocently? That is the reason why he said he would help me to find my father." Scarlett," my father called my name, taking me out of my thoughts a
