“Alana!!” Mandy called out as she waved her hands in the air, bouncing excitedly on her feet. Alana turned around and happiness filled her eyes when they settled on Mandy, who was waving happily at her. She raced over to her, “How have you been, Mandy? I miss you” she threw her hands around Mandy and the both of them hugged each other. “I miss you too” Mandy pulled away to take a good look at Alana's face, “look at you, you are looking so beautiful. More beautiful than the last time I saw you, and you grew your hair?”With wide eyes, Mandy reached out to touch Alana's hair, rolling the tips on her finger, “You even dyed it blonde like I have always wanted you to”Alana had a sheepish smile as she nervously reached out to touch her hair, “What do you think? Is it fine? My course mates said blonde looks good on me”.Mandy rolled her eyes, “Of course, blonde looks good on you. I have literally been begging you to dye your hair blonde. You look so pretty”.Alana smiled widely like a gid
“I think it's Scarlett."Liam moved from the window within seconds and snatched the paper from Noah's hand. He opened it and stared at the picture of the woman he thought he would never see again, since she had already been declared dead.It was her. Liam was hundred percent sure of it. He would recognize her anywhere. Those chocolate brown eyes and bright smile. Those eyes used to look at him and those lips used to smile at him before. But now, she was smiling at someone else; a man who was standing beside her. His Scarlett was smiling at someone else that was not him. Something gripped his heart like a fist and squeezed them. Liam couldn't breathe. Liam's throat went dry, and he squeezed the newspaper in his hands. Why was Scarlett smiling at another man? Why did the man have his arms around her shoulders? Why was she gazing up at the man with stars in her eyes like she was in love with him? He felt like disappearing into the newspaper to separate his Scarlett from this man, whoev
“For the life of me, I cannot understand this.” The new doctor Alex got for Scarlett told her as he stared at her baby on the monitor.She had come for another check up since doctor Lindsay wanted to monitor her and the baby until its birth. She was always at the hospital every four days for checkups.“What's that doctor?” Scarlett asked like she did not know what doctor Lindsay would say. She knew already, as she first heard it from doctor Imelda and now him. “You are just six-months pregnant, but your baby is almost fully formed and ready for delivery.” Doctor Lindsay was looking at the monitor with furrowed brows. “I do not understand this. I have never seen something like this before. No human has ever given birth to a fully formed and matured baby at seven months, but here it looks like your baby would be born in a month's time.”Well, it's a good thing that I'm not human, I would have been scared for my life and that of my baby, Scarlett thought as she rubbed her nose.“But the
Scarlett looked back out of the car as it made a U-turn and entered the road that led to the hotel. Her eyes zeroed in on another magazine in a stall. Like the one beside her, it had her and Alex's picture on it, but this one was not a business magazine. It was a gossip magazine.“Stop the car.” she told the driver and was thrown forward when he abruptly did. “Careful” Rogan snapped at the driver“Get me that magazine there.” Scarlett told Rogan as she jerked her chin in the direction of the stall.Rogan left the car and approximately four minutes later, he returned to her with the magazine. “Thank you” Scarlett received the magazine and cringed really hard as she read the headings that were in glaring bright red and bold capital letters. 'Is she just a manager or something more?''Is she Alex Bandini's baby mama?'Scarlett groaned as she began to read. She felt a headache rising in her head, but at the same time she found the gossip magazine funny. She and Alex had been asked ques
Before the woman would ask any more questions that could open wounds that were already beginning to heal, Scarlett quickly moved on to asking for her help. “I think the werewolf’s race is in the risk of being exposed”The woman's expression immediately turned serious, and she sat up straight in her chair, “What do you mean by that? Is there something you know that we don't?”“Well, it's all my fault that it is happening”With frown lines marring her brows, the woman asked, “How? What do you mean by it is your fault? What did you do?”“I can't really can't the whole blame on me because most of that blame should go to your beloved alpha for banishing me” Scarlett spat the last part with disgustThe woman nodded even if she was now looking confused, “Okay? ““This is my first time being pregnant and since I was to become Luna, I was yet to take my course for medicine and midwifery. I had to go to the human hospital regularly for a checkup and the doctors have been seeing things that don
Scarlett's head was abuzz with different thoughts. Where one ended was where the next began, and she felt like she would collapse.She tried not to think of her father and what might happen to him should a war start. Even if Scarlett hated Liam, she believed that he loved his wolves more than any other thing in the world. He took his position as the alpha of the pack seriously. Had he not discarded her who has been by his side for five years to pick Olivia and his child with her, which would have been the future alpha? Had he not banished her, not even stopping to think for a moment if she might die out there, just because he thought she pushed Olivia down the stairs and caused his child to die? Scarlett was sure he wouldn't allow any harm to come to his people, but even he himself could not control or stop other Alphas from coming together to fight against his pack, which was one of the biggest and strongest. They had too many enemies. Some of these other packs have been their enemi
“If there is really a plot like you said, the alpha couldn't possibly be involved. I know Olivia never liked you, and you felt the same way, so Olivia might have plotted against you. But if you think of it in another way, the alpha is highly intelligent, he cannot be deceived. How sure am I that you are not the one cooking up all of these ideas just to get me to help you?” Scarlett knew it would be hard to get this woman to help her, especially if she was talking down on Liam, but she was determined to get help, and it was only this woman who was available to render the help. “I was not alone that day. Willow was with me when everything happened. She was even the first one to discover that everything that was happening was a planned work. We first thought it was planned by Olivia alone, but now, I know Liam was involved.” She could just ask the woman to reach out to Willow and make her own findings before helping her. “Willow?” The woman asked, and Scarlett could sense that this wo
Why had Scarlett thought that it would take the woman a long time before she would get back to her? She spent the next day tapping her feet anxiously and staring out the window of her office. She messed up so many things and even her assistant noticed, but Scarlett just laughed it off when she was asked if she was alright.Scarlett was scared that the woman wouldn't be able to convince her friend and that she would be exposed. She half expected werewolf's warriors to come bursting through her office door in the hotel to take her away, but she knew it wouldn't be possible. It will create a ruckus and draw attention to them, so maybe they will hijack her car and drag her away on her way home - She was scared to go home. She half expected to suddenly faint and wake up back in her pack with Liam towering over her with a scowl while demanding an explanation from her for running away with his child. Scarlett breathed a sigh of relief when she got home, and even more so when she finally la
