" 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
Prologue ¶Scarlet Lockwood Pov¶" I want to talk to you regarding something.It's actually that....I.. I thought maybe it would be great if I..."" I am 25 already and girls at my age search for suitors to get married and settle down.""The Beta of Silvermoon pack proposed and he is a really nice person. So I...can I marry you?"Aghhh Scarlett! What are you even saying! You suc* at it! Admit it!"It's not marry you ! It's marry him! "If this is how it goes, I am sure he will throw me out himself! Focus Scar focus! You need to do this! Come on!Women up!"Sh**!"I curse seeing the water overflow from the bath tub ,I was preparing for him. Checking the temperature with my fingers, I smile. Getting up."Perfect!""Now just
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
Leonardo’s pov“Please Miss Stella. It’s just salad. I will ask the chef to prepare a new one for you. Just-““No! I don’t want anything from you! How dare you use goat cheese when I am allergic to it! I could have died dammit!”I just sigh looking at the chaos around. There girls and their drama,I just hate it. Now you understand, why I don’t want to get mated to these pretty princesses? The majority are like this.“Calm down daughter, I am sure it was a mistake. The young man is apologizing already-“The Alpha, the girls father says. But she pays no heed to him. Bashing and humiliating Noah.While I just stand there, leaning on a wall. With my arms folded in front of me.I hear heavy footsteps approaching, and seeing that calm smiling face. All my worries vanish.She is here.“Miss Stella! Oh what happened
I thought I will spent my last week here, off my duties and in rest. To finally leave. But how wrong I was.It seemed the Alpha had some personal vindictive against me.“What are you even teaching him? Is this the combination I wear? A blue tie with a crème shirt? “You see this. He is scolding both Noah and me. With neither of us saying anything.“I am sorry Alpha. I didn’t kno-““Shut up! I didn’t ask for your apology. Go and get this ironed.”He throws his tuxedo at Noah, to have him scram. Leaving both of us together. I was going to turn around and leave as well. To be only stopped.“And you? I know you are off duty now but it doesn’t mean you slack around doing nothing! Teach this fools Noah better and accompany me on the meeting with the new Alpha of our neighbouring pack.”I couldn’t refute. Keeping in my retort. I barely nod.“Ye
Scarlett povMy heart was rampaging inside my chest, with each step he took closer to me. His crystal blue eyes looking darker ,as they were set on me.Intimidating me." A- Alpha?"I stutter. Gulping. As he stops in front of me. Not saying anything. Just staring." Are you fine?"I manage to ask. Trying to ease the atmosphere. But he didn't wanted it. Stepping more closer to me, he invades my personal space.Making me hold my breath. Sh**! He looks so angry! I have never seen him like this!" No one talks to me the way you did Scarlet."" You of all people, must be knowing it"He says in a domineering voice and I gulp, lowering my eyes. He is using my name...he never used it before. I am dead. Oh moongoddess! Save me! Why did I have to talk to him like that!" Leo- um I...I just-"" Shut up"He seethes and I feel my ent
