Scarlett's point of view... "Because he is mute" his reply shut me up immediately. I was so furious that I wanted to pounce on him and rip his skin off. But...! I can't...! Though he doesn't belong to this kingdom, Adrian had more command than the king himself. It's annoying. I swallowed all the irritation and all my anger down my throat. "If there's nothing more, I think I must leave. Have a nice day Prince Adrian" I greeted him through gritted teeth and turned around to run away the way I got in. And I am sure he is going to chase after me. Though he won't do anything to me, he would be dying to see my defeated face. And I won't let him have the fun. I didn't give him the time to reply because I knew very well that this cunning wolf was definitely going to bring up something else to irritate me. He followed me and with his long legs, it was just a few seconds before he out-paced me. However, just before he was about to stop me at the entrance of the dungeon, a v
Scarlett's point of view... "Are you here to send me off?" I heard a sneer and turned around to his handsome face. Forcing a smile, I responded, "Of course" Aiden chuckled hearing me say that. "Or else why would I be here early in the morning?" I added. "Um hmm..." he hmmed sarcastically. We never had a friendly encounter to begin with. This headstrong brother of my mate is just a pain in the ass. Even his elegant smiling face is enough to churn something in your gut. My gaze travelled down to his hands, where he was holding a thick wip with silver knuckles on it. What is that for? I wondered. He followed my gaze and raised his eyebrows, "What... Are you wondering what is that for?" as if read my mind he spoke out. I smirked and averted my gaze. The last thing I wanted to do in this world, was to mess with these brothers. "Hmm... No...not really... I was just wondering if I have seen it before" He walked closer to me as his eyes bore into mine. What the hell...
Author's point of view... The caravan crested the final rise, revealing a vast expanse of verdant plains stretching to the horizon. The setting sun casts a golden glow over the waving grasses, making them shimmer like an endless sea. The travellers, weary from their journey, began to set up camp, their movements slow and deliberate. Adrian dismounted from his horse, his muscles aching from the long ride. As he stretched, a gentle breeze swept across the plains, carrying with it a scent that made his heart skip a beat. It was the same fragrance as any other, a perfect blend of wildflowers, earth, and something uniquely captivating. His pulse quickened, and he closed his eyes, inhaling deeply, letting the scent wash over him. "It's the same...!" He mumbled to himself. "Is that Miss Scarlett? Why would she be here?" He was so confused. It was the same scent as his mate. But the scent he just inhaled was way stronger than ever. It's a royal wolf...! He was sure abo
Author's point of view... Shifting into a beautiful white wolf, Scarlett paced quickly, her feet scarcely making contact with the ground, as the moon illuminated the plains in a silvery glow. As she planned to distract Adrian, she asked Rona to break all the magical barriers around her. Though for the second time in her life, she was now a complete divine wolf. The blue mark of glory on her forehead shone brightly with an otherworldly resemblance. She looked amazing even in her wolf form. While shifting into her wolf, she thought she would be fast enough to escape Adrian but she never thought he would be catching up to her in no time. Shouldn't he be worried about his caravan? Why the heck is he still chasing me? Scarlett wondered when she noticed Adrian didn't hesitate following her into the darkness of the groves. She glanced back again and again, her heart pounding, seeing Adrian's silhouette gaining on her. "No shit...! This is not going to happen" she muttered
Author's point of view... With a flick of her eyelids, Scarlett's sleepy blur gave way to the soft light coming through the canopy overhead. Her head pounded, and she could feel the ground underneath her being chilly. Slowly, awareness seeped back into her consciousness, and she realized she was lying on something soft, almost like a cushion. She shifted slightly, only to feel a gentle, steady rise and fall beneath her head. "Don't move..." a manly voice hushed softly. Her heart skipped a beat. She lifted her head and turned it to see a man sitting beside her, his eyes twinkling with amusement. His short, well-groomed beard and unkempt golden hair accentuated his tough yet kind features. His smile was warm, reassuring, and a little bit teasing. She froze on the spot. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. Adrian...! Is it a dream? She was lying on his lap and looking at him. If that was a dream, it felt so surreal. "Good morning," he said softly.
Author's point of view... As they walked through the dense forest, Adrian kept a steady hand on Scarlett's waist, supporting her as she hobbled along. Despite the pain, she couldn't help but notice the gentle, almost protective way he guided her. He seemed rather pale and exhausted, but he never let her know that. The gentle crunch of leaves beneath their feet and the distant cries of birds were the only sounds they made as they travelled silently. After what felt like hours, they reached a small clearing with a stream running through it. Glistening in the sunlight, the water offered a brief reprieve from their misery. "Let's take a break here," Adrian suggested, helping Scarlett to sit on a smooth rock near the stream's edge. He knelt beside her, carefully inspecting her ankle. "The swelling's gone down a bit. We should clean the wound and bandage it properly." She smiled. Scarlett was the divine goddess, she could heal her injury in the blink of an eye but unknowingl
Author's point of view... In the cosy stillness that enveloped them, they sat like that for some time, their relationship becoming closer by the second. Scarlett finally used her magical powers of healing to heal his wounds. Adrian could hardly contain his excitement at seeing everything. At last, she was ready to let him see who she really was. The one he had been searching for years and the one who was made for him is one person, Scarlett, his mate. After healing, Scarlett stood up, "Let's head back," she said immediately, her voice filled with urgency. Adrian looked at her. He wanted to spend some more time with her alone. After all, it wasn't easy for him to find her. "Let's rest for a while more" he pretended to be fatigued as he said, "I feel tired." Scarlett heaved a sigh. She had no idea what had transpired in the caravan, or if Rona had managed to rescue Catherine. Adrian slowly grabbed her hand and made her sit beside him. Scarlett's mind was in a mess b
Author's point of view... The royal warriors advanced precision, overwhelming Rona’s men with sheer numbers and superior tactics. Rona never wanted a fight but he was forced to fight fiercely to get his way out, his blade clashing against the enemy's, but the odds were impossible. The royal warriors were all trained ones whereas Rona and his men were mere assassins. Despite Rona's immense strength, facing a hundred even stronger warriors was no easy feat. They were no match for the royal army. One by one, his men fell to the ground and some ran away. In no time, Rona was the only one left standing. With a final, defiant cry, Rona swung his sword, but it was knocked from his grasp, and he was forced to his knees, a sword at his throat. A tall figure stepped forward, removing his helmet. It was Kevin, his eyes cold and calculating while a smirk tugged on his lips. "Welcome, Mr. Wuji," Kevin said as one of his subordinates lifted Rona's head. Seeing him made Rona jolt. R
