The following morning, Scarlett woke up and got ready for work again. She fixed her lenses and made sure the black dye on her hair wasn't fading out in any part. The last thing she wanted was making people look at her with irritating eyes, like people from her pack did.Done, she exited the house, a lot earlier than the previous day. She intentionally finished early becuase she planned on visiting someone, or somewhere.She took a cab and soon arrived at the witch's store which was by the side of the road. She's visited a lot of stores for this same reason, but some weeks ago, she heard news that this particular witch was very experienced.She got off the cab and proceeded into the store. An intoxicating blend of herbs, flowers and so many potions engulfed the air and filtered into her nostrils the moment she crossed the threshold. She could never get used to this smell.It was a small store. Looking around, she found potions upon potions, so many herbs and leaves mounted on each othe
Scarlett's breath froze in an instant. She wanted to look away, but something trapped her eyes to him, making it impossible for her to look away.He was shirtless and soaked, droplets glistening on his skin like tiny diamonds. His chiseled abs were exposed, each contour emphasized by the water clinging to his body.The water droplets glistened on his sleek hair, giving it a polished sheen. Scarlett's lips subtly parted, her heart skipped like a stone on water. He looked just like a greek god!"My King!" She finally pulled herself together and lowered her head, trying to steady her heart that threatened to explode in her chest. She couldn't get the image out of her head.Staring at him for a few seconds messed with her head completely. She tugged at her lower lip with her teeth.Kellan had just finished from the pool and decided to come into his study for a quick review. The study was his personal place, and he didn't expect too find anyone there. Imagine his surprise seeing his new as
Scarlett was so excited the rest of the day. Her life was finally getting better, things were falling in place for her.So many goodnews in one day. Not only did she become the King's personal guard and assistant, she also got a rise in her pay and will be accompanying him on a mission to the south! She'll be travelling with the king!She giggled and tossed from side to side on the bed. She couldn't recall when last she was this happy. At last, the moon goddess was answering her prayers.It was evening when her phone started ringing beside her. Checking the caller, she discovered it was her Aria.Thank goodness! She needed someone to share the news with."Hey!" Aria beamed as soon as she picked the call. "What're you doing? I didn't see you today at the field.""I'm fine, Aria." Scarlett chuckled. "I actually have great news.""Great news? Bring it on!"Scarlett smiled and sat up on the bed, like she could see her."A lot of goodies happened today, you know? First, I was chosen as the
Kellan had a busy day, attending to some issues of the pack. By the time he was done, it was evening already and he retired to his room for some rest.However, his wolf was restless and wouldn't let him think straight.As Kellan sat down in his room to eat, the persistent wolf hardly let him concentrate."We need to find her. You've been too non-challant." Ragnor grumbled."I have bene trying. Rick and the others have been searching for her. What am I supposed to do?" Kellan answered tiredly, sharing his thoughts."You shouldn't rely solely on others to find our mates. You should be making an effort as well. We need to find her sooner."Kellan sighed and wagged his head, gulping some wine afterward."I never asked her to leave." He mumbled, a small frown finding its way to his face. "Perhaps, she's not even interested in me. If she was, she'd have never left that morning.""I'm sure she had her reasons." Ragnor growled. "Whatever it was, we can't completely blame her, at least, until
He held her down to the ground while she waited for him to do something to her. She had stopped moving. She had no chance. Surprisingly he just sniffed her.‘’What is going on?’’. Scarlett muttered within her, not really knowing what was happening at the moment. She growled in anger as the giant wolf was still sniffing her neck. She thought he was going to hurt her, but she had no choice but to remain there as the wolf didn’t let her go.She tried escaping his grip.‘’Let me go!’’ She growled once again, as she put in more force.‘’Stay’’. Ragnor growled back at her.He was too strong for her. Ragnor held her down to the ground so strong that he made sure she was not able to run away.Immediately, Alexa gave up on trying and let out a few soft howls in defeat.Once Ragnor saw that she had given up, he immediately stopped sniffing her neck and released her. He remained there looking at her, totally losing his guard. Alexa saw this great opportunity right away and used it to quickly kno
Scarlett drew a deep breath as she walked along the hallway of the Pack house, pulling her luggage along with her.It was time for the trip, and the King was already outside with the others.Scarlett had a cranky feeling that something bad might happen at the meeting. It was the biggest meeting of the year, and since every Alpha would be present, she just felt there might be some kind of problem.She was approaching the staircase when she ran into the prince and instantly stopped to greet him as he stood right in front of her, his scent surrounding the place which they both stood.‘’Good day, my prince’’. Scarlett bowed her head in respect, waiting for him to speak up so she could raise her head up back and start leaving.‘’Hello, Scarlett. Good day to you too’’. His deep voice spoke to her. After taking a short pause, she looked up at him, staying utterly shut.‘’I need to get going. I don’t want to keep them all waiting for me’’. She said quietly and respectfully.The last thing she
It was the next day and time for the meeting. Scarlett, who had woken up a long time ago, was all dressed up and ready. She had prepared faster than every other person and decided to go check up on the king to be certain he didn't need any assistance.She knocked, and his voice ushered her in. Going in, she met him eating. She bowed her head to greet him, after shutting the door when she had entered.‘’Good morning, My King’’. She said with her head bowed.He didn't respond. She lifted her head to see him dipping a fork full of Alfredo pasta into his mouth. Chewing it elegantly, he dropped the cutlery back on the plate, dabbing the napkin against his nice succulent lips.He had a robe on, but Scarlett could see he was wearing something like a polo inside too. He wasn’t completely naked like she thought he would be when she got in.Just like yesterday inside the car, the atmosphere was tense as hell. He still wasn't looking up to her face.‘’Is there a problem? I didn’t send for you’’
Out of pure anger, Alpha Magnus stood up from his seat, grinding his teeth. For a moment he couldn’t breathe. His mind darkened, his jaws were clenched and his temper flared. A mere woman had the audacity to accuse him of having a hand in her husband’s death.‘’How dare you speak to me in such manner?!!’’. He shouted at the top of his voice, veins forming on his head.Mari remained standing, unmoved by his outpour. She was just as mad as he was.‘’Don’t talk to me like you don’t know what I’m talking about, Magnus’’. Mari flashed, raising her voice to be heard at all corners of the room. She knew she was in the presence of all Alphas and was the only woman present, but she didn’t care.Her head spun. In their midst was an angry woman. She was more than angry, and she didn’t look like she was going to give up seeking justice for her husband’s death anytime soon.Other people were still as quiet as they were at first, trying to wrap their heads around the situation on ground at that mom
