Scarlett's povThe pain never came.I continue to stand there. Shivering, anticipating the worst. But that moment? It never came.My pounding heart , thudding in my ears was the evidence of me still breathing. Bring alive and I slowly open my eyes.To feel my blood run cold as I took in the scene.The sword was held by a hand inches away from my face. The sharpened blade of it , making drops of blood to fall down on my face.Looking further up I find those grey eyes looking at me in despondence. And I let go of the rugged breath I was holding onto." H- Hayden?"He has saved me,again. But why? Why does he always protects me. I just rooted a knife into his torso and tried to kill him. Why was he still giving a damn about me.I could tell Leo behind me was as surprised as I was.Staring at the King of darkness protecting us." Y-your high-ness?"The guard stutters pathetically. Dropping his grip on the knife to step back immediately. Bowing." Aplo-gies your high-ness.
Scarlett’s footsteps slower down. Feeling a weird aura coming from behind her. Something didn't seemed right. She was to escape with Leo and everything was going to be fine.Hayden has assured her he will take care of everything.But the bigger question remained and that was how?Coming to a halt. She couldn't help look back over her shoulder at the huge castle like place surrounded in a deadly aura of darkness.“W-hat happened Scar?”She hears Leo's voice and she looks into his concerned eyes. “ Nothing....”Shaking away her worry. She almost scoffs at her own self. Was she really thinking about the man who kidnapped her and killed half of their kind?What was wrong with her.Even if he gets hurt she should deem that he deserved a great part of it. He was never a saint. A sinner instead.She has just taken one step forward, her hand tightly clenched in Leo's when a loud thrust of cohesive force hits them from behind making their bodies to topple forward.“ Ahhhh”“Shit!”They both e
5 years later" The council members is waiting for you in the ballroom your highness. "Leonardo stood there. Standing in front of a mirror. Looking handsome as always.Applying jell on a flick that was being stubborn as hell dropping on his forehead again and again.He barely acknowledged the guard. Just nodding at him." Fine"" Are the troops from northern expedition back, yet?"The guard just bows. Shaking his head in a no." I am afraid your Highness. No message has been received from them. "" Oh okay. You go inform them I am just coming."" Sure Sir"The guards leaves and Leo adjusts the tie on his neck. A black tuxedo on top of a light blue shirt.Pulling on the cuffs , he groans in irritation.Seeing them still undone.Fumbling with the button. He struggles to close it. Feeling sweat run down his forehead.Few minutes pass. His struggles in vain. When her thought hits him. Hard.Remembering her doing it for him.Her slender fingers brushing his wrists.Her fragrance envelopin
" If I didn't know you. One would think you were actually flirting with her you know."A smile tugs on Leonardo's lips. As he didn't had to turn to know who it was.His heart picking up pace and euphoria settling in his chest." And if I didn't know you. One would think you are actually avoiding your dear husband since 1 months straight."" With no phone calls, no texts, no visits nothing."Turning around Leo looks up to find her there. Wearing a long floor length red dress. Her hair open and her face covered in minimal make up. Not that she needed to apply any.Looking like the most beautiful women to him.Scratching her neck out of habit. She lowers her eyes. Her luscious lips opening and closing on their own accord. No words leaving her lips." The threat was real Leo...I am sorry...I just...we all got too lost in the mission."" I tried calling you though..but the signal was quite weak there."Getting up Leonardo approaches her. Her lowered eyes and anxious aura making him smirk.
Scarlett's povI enter our room to find no one around. A bit dark for me to see anything. Biting my lip I step forward to look around." Leo?"Before I know I feel a strong tug on my wrists. Pulling me back.And next I know soft lips smash on mine. Knocking off my breath." Le-"He doesn't even let me speak. Kissing me like he hasn't kissed in ages. His chest heaving and hands holding my face in his palms." 5 minutes 2 seconds my little mate"" Are you ready for your punishment?"He says not even letting me breathe. Pressing my back on the wall to place his other hand on my thigh. Pulling it up to have me wrap my one leg around him.His fingers lighting sparks up and down my thighs. " Ahh Leo... atleast let me bre...athe "I say pushing him back slightly. To have him grab my wrists in his other hand. Pinning them above my head.Looking right into my eyes.His eyes drifting to my lips and I heave heavily. Gulping air.Our eyes clashing.And once assured I have enough to

Scarlett's pov“Scar! You are late!”One of the oldest head maids of our pack, Mrs Fernandes says and I rush towards the kitchen. Holding the counter to breathe.“Wh…where is it?”I ask, trying to catch my breath. To only have her motion towards the empty cup of coffee placed on the counter, along with coffee beans and milk.I look at her, to only sigh.“You didn’t make it? “She just shrugs her shoulders to continue chopping the vegetables.“For a change I did Scar. But he wants coffee especially made by your hands.”“He made me drink it instead”I wanted to roll my eyes at Leo's childish behaviour.Is this man serious?“Fine! I will make it. Anyways, it’s the last time I will be making it for him.”I say the last line lowly, to suddenly feel bad. Oh come on Scar! Don’t tell me you will get
Luna Rose is like the mother I never had. She may be the former Luna and Leo’s mom, but she has always loved me like her own child.I sit with her in her cozy room, beside a bonfire. To see her making me a cup of tea.“Please sit Luna. Wait let me-““Relax my child. You are always so busy working with my Son and taking all the responsibility. Let me take care of you for once.”I smile. Sitting back down. Taking the cup from her hands.We continue to sit in silence.But I could tell that she wanted to say something. She looked worried.“What’s it Luna? You look worried about something?”She smiles, holding my hand in hers. To look into my eyes.“Nothing is hidden from you Scarlett. I may have not given birth to you, but I always considered you like my daughter.”“Someone I can share my worries with, someone to expect from.”I furrow my brows, gi
