"Bang"

The door echoed through the room vibrating on each wall .I was sitting on the bed rethinking everything that had happened moments ago. I was totally taken aback by his question.

Did he think of me as that type of person? I sat there wondering and recalling every moment for at least half an hour. The door slid open slowly and i was expecting Lucian to walk in and we could fix whatever had just happened.

I was disappointed to see Layla walking through the room door. The moment her eyes fell on me she ran over and hugged me so tight I thought my breath was being squished out of every pore I had on my body.

“You, better not try dying on me again”

“well if u continue to squish me like this, u might be beating me to it”

When she let go at my words I took a deep breath of air.

“Good you deserve it for making my heart sink in to my ass thinking I lost you forever” She spat glaring at me.

“You know at one point you didn’t even breathe and I really thought I lost you.” She whimpered a

    Fear struck in their eyes and they looked at each other before they regained themselves. “Sweatheart” Jade began. I held my hand up for her to stop speaking.“If you are going to try and convince me that there is nothing to know about my parents, we might as well end the meeting right here.”I guess Jade didn’t like being cut off because she glared daggers at me. “Scarlet I understand what my son has done to you is unforgivable but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t know your place” Alpha Caleb said sternly. It kind of annoyed me, this whole position and knowing your place kind of thing. Especially when directed towards me.“How should I know my place, Alpha Caleb?” I asked sarcastically.“Scarlet. You are part of the beta family but hold no rank that is crucial for the pack or any other. You are no longer a future Luna, so stop behaving like one.” I laughed at his reply. They both stared in shock at me. “Is she losing her mind?” Jade whispered into her mate’s ear.“No jade. You gu

    Scarlet:After the meeting, my guard made sure I found my way up to Lucian's home. He hadn’t said anything to me and, in all honesty, I was too irritated about having a babysitter to make conversation. When I got to the room that I was residing in for the time being, I flopped down onto the bed. I started crying uncontrollably. My whole existence has been a lie. My whole identity isn’t my own and I still don’t know who my real parents are. What my real identity is “Scarlet”, I heard a whisper in the room and recognized the voice immediately. I sat up with a teary face to search the room.When my eyes landed on the open door revealing Lucian, I wiped away my tears, trying to appear strong and cold. “Scarlet. Are you OK?”Those words slipping from his mouth made me crack.“Yeah” I sobbed.I was fully aware that now I didn’t seem OK because I was sobbing, but I couldn’t help myself.Suddenly, his arms wrapped around my waist, he pulled me into his chest so tightly as if he was trying

    Scarlet:“I’ve also been having these dreams scarlet” he said in a shaky voice. I was shocked that he had been vulnerable enough to share this with me. I hugged him and a warmness overflowed in me. I could feel his heart racing. His breathing shifted to a faster pace. I want him to be my true mate more now than I have ever wanted. Tears started streaming from my eyes again. I hated that I looked so weak in front of him. But him telling me this let me know I wasn't crazy. It made me feel closer to him. It was something we shared and no one else did. Something that made him mine.“Scarlet”, he said, but his tone of voice was letting me know I could talk to him if I needed to. It was caring and comforting. I looked into his eyes getting lost in the autumn forest they reminded me of.“Lucian. I want you to be my true mate.”Even though we fought and we barely knew each other, I knew he cared for me in his actions and I was craving what he was offering me. I know it was selfish, but I c

    Me and Lucian sat at the breakfast bar with some muesli and having our salted caramel coffee in front of us. While he was digging into his food, I was just picking at it with my spoon. Wishing he was eating me out like he was eating his food. “You don’t like muesli?” He asked before taking a sip of his coffee and looking at me waiting for me to reply.“No it’s not that” I said. My whole body was going into withdrawal from Lucian's touch and yearned for it, making me sexually frustrated and totally addicted to him. He giggled before he nudged my shoulder. “Don’t worry, when we get started you’re going to beg me to stop” My whole body went stiff and my core went wet from his words, and a shiver of pleasure went down my spine.He smiled at my reaction before continuing with his food. When he spotted that I was still not eating, he took his spoon and scooped some of my muesli up.He then held the spoon in front of my mouth and I decided I would make use of this opportunity.

    The room was filled with silence and tension. Yet he still had that smug smile on his face. I wanted to rip it off his face with my claws. Rip him to shreds.“Lucian, I guess you’re wondering why I called a meeting with you?”He looked at me waiting for me to ask him, but I kept quiet and just glared at him. My gut was telling me it had something to do with Scarlet. “Just get to the point, Asher”. He giggled mischievously. Then he came to a holt and the room was quiet again. His demonic face was stern and unhinged.“Seems like patience isn’t one of your strong points…”“Not with you”. I chipped him in. “Lucian”“Seems like respect isn’t one of your strengths”. I chipped him in again. He glared at me. A glare so vicious it could make anyone tremble under his gaze.But a little pip squeak like his didn’t give me any chills. He was like a pebble in my shoe. An absolute annoyance, but one I could sort out in a way I see fit.“Alpha” he said in a strained voice, as if the word was burni

    My heart sank deep into a hole swallowed by overwhelming sadness. I truly thought Lucian was the one. That he was my true mate. That he respected me. That he would never betray me.That he would be different from Asher. I ran out of the dressing room with the dress I still had on. I heard Layla running behind me asking me what was going on. I heard the store security alarm going off and the security guard saying I have to pay.I also heard Layla say to put it on her tab giving the guard her full name. I ran to the mall bathroom and curled up into a ball hoping that it would somehow protect me. I felt Layla’s Arms falling like a blanket over me pulling me into a hug. She didn’t ask any more questions and just comforted me and held me so softly. As if she feared that if she held too tight that I would shatter in her arms. I felt like I was going to no matter what. When I eventually had calmed down, I looked up at her. “I’m going to my parents' place for a while.” She hesitated fo

    I woke up to my mom dragging her fingers across my hair and gripping the points before she twirled them around her finger. “Oh scarlet”, She said in a soft whisper with her voice betraying her and cracking under the pressure of speaking.“Mom?” I looked at her worried. She barely cried in front of me and always appeared strong and put together. Her tears dropped on my shoulder. It had confirmed my suspicions.I sat up in my bed and saw it was still dark outside. I wrapped my arms around my mom and felt her cries jerking through her body. “I’m sorry Scarlet.” She cried out and pulled me into a hug so tight my eyes felt as if they would pop out of my head from the pressure. “For what?”. She pushed me away placing her hands on either side of my shoulders, squeezing and massaging them.“Your father…. is waiting…..um… downstairs. We …have to ….talk” she said, struggling to say each word. I couldn’t pressure her into telling me more because I felt too bad and guilty for her being like th

    “Scarlet, Scarlet wake up”. I heard a voice within the darkness. It was that mysterious lady again. My eyes shot open. I was breathing with difficulty and still seeing black except for the little pieces of light peeking through the threads of the cloth that covered my face.When I tried to lift my hand to remove the cloth, I felt my hand being restricted. My wrists were tied and burning, letting me know whatever I was tied with had been laced with wolf's bane.I heard a bit of mumbling but couldn’t make out what was going on. I tried to concentrate on anything my senses could recognize. I knew I was lying down on what seemed to be a bed. I could hear cars moving, so I knew I wasn’t too far from civilization. I could also smell a scent I had recognized and my eyes widened and panic filled every inch of my being.It was Asher. I tried to get myself loose and only ended up burning my wrists and ankles with a wolf's bane that had covered whatever was tying me down. The sound of a doo

    − I sat in my room staring at the crib where Xander laid fast asleep. I kept listening to his soft breathing just to make sure he is ok. I heard a sparkling sound and soon the moon goddess appeared next to his crib. Her face was filled with love and care.She put her hand on his cheek and a smile spread across his face. I guess he was dreaming about milk or cuddles since he didn’t know much else.“This is the future rules of mount Olympus and I think that’s you are the perfect mother to raise him. Cherish him. And love him.” She said in a whisper.She then walked over to me and cupped my cheek. “I am proud of you my child you have conquered what others would deem impossible.

Until then I will keep your seat nice and warm” She said in a caring tone before kis

    Days have passed after Riley’s initiation. She has thanked me more times than what was needed.I still felt a bit awkward as my memories drew back to the time when I wandered her mind. That door of intimacy that I could feel Lucian was a part of.I knew it was something of the past and wouldn’t blame him for what had happened but what would bother me was if he lied about it. He told me nothing ever happened between the two of them.I sat at in the pack cafeteria scanning over the large crowd of my pack members all sitting and chatting as they shove food down to their hungry stomachs.Others cheered as they knocked their beer cans onto one another in celebration.Then I spotted Riley sitting among a bunch of she wolfs al who were in awe of little dawn.Her beauty was definitely something to catch the eyes of all around even at such a young age.I then slowly moved my eyes over to my mate whom was sitting next to me drinking a glass of orange juice.When his eyes met mine he placed his

    “What was that all about” I heard that husky handsome voice ask beside my ear, making my legs wobble as his breath touched my neck.“Whatever do you mean Alpha” I said turning to face him keeping eye contact, showing no fear.I could see the lust swimming angrily within his eyes. He straightened out his posture and places his hands behind his back. “Out” he demanded with his alpha aura spreading across the room.Layla and Damian disappeared so quickly out of our sights and in a blink of an eye I heard the elevator doors open and close.A smile grin crept up onto Lucian’s lips. Plaguing them with all the dirty thoughts wondering within his mind as well as mine.He took a step closer to me and at this point I was looking up at him my chin almost touching his chest and my breath heavy just thinking about what may follow.The small distance between us was killing me. It was just enough for us to barely touch but not enough to ease the warmth that lingered between my legs.The warmth that

    It’s been days since I’ve gotten out of my own prison. It’s been both heartbreaking and warming at the same time.My mother hasn’t reached out to me yet and although my father has been coming around every day to check up on both me and his grandsons wellbeing my mother hasn’t come at all.My father kept saying that it’s not because she doesn’t love me or care for me but she is mourning.I knew he was right and honestly I loved her and understood where she was coming from. Losing your child at the hands of your other child is hard to wrap your mind around.My pack however congratulated me on defeating our enemy all by myself.I gained a lot of respect from all of the high ranking warriors of our pack including our gamma which in return made me proud of myself too.Although most of it was my wolf without her we would’ve probably still been stuck within a big mess.I blew over my steaming hot coffee looking out over the Los angles view from our living room.I sat snug in my mates lap lea

    Scarlet:“Scarlet” I heard my mom’s voice call out to me I lifted my head from my knees and scanned the waters that laid just below my toes. I didn’t see her at all so I just automatically assumed it was in my all in my head.I prepared myself for the next scene of her shouting and screaming at me for killing her only daughter and hating me for it. “Scarlet” I heard her voice once more call out to me. It was soft and gentle. A caring tone filled with worry.“Come back to me, my dear.”I looked down at the water before me and saw her worried face reflecting from it. Her eyes were sad and the bags under them seemed like the same endless darkness that plagued my heart. “It wasn’t your fault dear” Her voice cracked at the word fault. I could only think that she was recalling the moment she saw Saige dead in the woods. “Scarlet darling”My father stepped closer, placing his arm around my mother’s waist pulling her into his chest whilst she wept.A tear streamed down my cheek filled w

    Lucian:I stood in front of the door thinking everything over in my head wondering what to do in this situation.Maybe I should get help what if they refuse to help Scarlet. Have they already decided to abandon her?Maybe it’s too early… they are still mourning the death of one daughter I can’t just throw this news at them and expect them to take the news well or be efficient at bringing her back.Although in my opinion its way overdue she’s been away from me for far too long. Suddenly I felt a pat on my back and shot my head to see whomever it came from.An arrogant smile stared back at me his eyes icy blue eyes somehow felt warmer and then I realized his canines were back.The two empty spaces that were so prominent and a soothing sight to me had been filled up.A shiver went down my spine. Oh for goddess sake. You know what moon goddess you’ll owe me after I save your daughter and I think a break will be the least you could do.I sighed as the memories replayed in my mind.“Please

    I watched as my daughter single-handedly disarmed and dismembered the guards that were sent to attack her.Aiden became more furious as the number of guards went down. He started pushing guards out of his way.When he came face to face with Scarlet whose chest was moving up and down from her heavy breathing.They stared at one another and the hatred for each other rolled off their aura in waves. The tension was high.“I guess I’ve got to deal with the trash on my own” Aiden said and scarlet growled into his face with her canines inches from his nose.Aiden’s eyes grew green as he summoned vines from the ground tying off Scarlets feet.She tried to claw her way out but it was all in vain. I took a step forward and suddenly felt an hand grip my wrist.I tried to loosen myself from the iron grip but when I realized it wasn’t going to happen I turned to see Astraeus shaking his head.“This has to happen Selene you cannot intervene”“Astraeus she’s alone and within her late stages of pregn

I sat in the on a stone and looked over the dark waters trying to see something or anything a place to swim to.But instead I just saw the never ending dark liquid vanishing into more darkness. I sat on this rock looking at the name engraved on to it with quilt swallowing me up whole.“Saige”. It read in cursive. I kept remembering the heart wrenching howl of my mother when she realized Saige was dead.As well as the agony that fell among her face.I hated myself for doing that to her. Removing her first and only born daughter. I thought about myself and how I would’ve felt.I would’ve hated the person that took my son from me. And I could only assume that she felt the same.And honestly I don’t blame her. I felt guilt for placing her in that position not for killing Saige and not for protecting my unborn child.I was still sad about her death and I did love her even though I didn’t want to.
