Asher:I was sitting on my bed staring at the ceiling, wondering what I was going to do to fix this problem. Even though I never saw Red as someone to be intimate with, the thought of her has made me lustful after today. I keep remembering how she looked today.How she should have looked with that green dress pulled up to her waist. She was roaming my thoughts relentlessly. Suddenly, a knock came from my door. I flew up with the hopes that it was Red. But with her scent not filling this room, I knew it wasn’t her.I opened the door to see Saige with a bag slinging over her shoulder. “Ashy baby can I stay with you tonight?” She batted her eyelashes and pouted her mouth. “Saige, I can’t be around you anymore.”“Oh come on Ashy we both know u still like me.” She leaned against the door perking her chest up. “Saige find somewhere else” I said through gritted teeth.Her whole mood changed and she gazed at me with fury evident in her eyes. She turned around and walked away without another
Scarlett:I was standing on my balcony just looking into the woods, wondering what I had done to deserve this. What happened was just as good as a rejection, just one without any words. I don’t know what to do next and I just feel so lost in both my thoughts and path. What’s next? My mom barged into my room again and I turned around to look at her with a sigh. “Well, look a little bit more alive Asher is coming here at seven to apologize”. My mom said, with a soft smile on her face and her phone still on a call. The words shocked me and I was gulping air with my mouth trying to say something, but only ended up looking like a fish out of water. “Well… can he come…yes or no” my mom looked at me with questioning gaze going back and forth to the phone and me. “Yes” I blurted out without even thinking about what I really wanted. I did know that I wanted to be near him but that was probably the mate bond speaking. The mate bond is such a powerful force that very few decide to go against
Those icy blue eyes just stare into my soul, inviting me to intertwine with his. I shook my head at the thought “So do you forgive me?”, were the words that brought me back to reality I’m still supposed to be angry with him, but this mate bond is making it hard for me to think straight.“On one condition,” I suddenly said, surprising myself with the words that came out of my mouth. “Sure, what’s the condition?” he said, smirking at his victory of winning over my forgiveness making me want to make this so much harder on him. “Well for starters you stay far away from my sister. Whatever the two of you had is over with. I don’t share”. He smirked at my words, making me all the more irritated. The moment he wanted to open his mouth and say something I interrupted him. “Also, you have to go down on your knees and say you’re sorry. I mean how else would I know for a fact it is a sincere apology?” I smirked as those words left my mouth and his vanished with no trace on his face.Then s
“Scarlet, are you OK?” The words ripped me from my thoughts. Ones which were probably over reacting.I looked around the room to try and decipher who it was that asked me.From the look on both Ash and his father's faces, I knew it wasn’t them that had asked me.I turned my head to Ashes mom. And saw her face filled with worry.“I’m fine Miss Stormclaw. I just need some fresh air. Do you mind?” I asked, pointing in the direction of the balcony.“Sure”. I didn’t hesitate after those words and made my way to the balcony.“But please call me Jade”. I heard her say behind me but I didn’t turn around. I just made my way to the balcony while giving her a thumbs up in the process.When I got to the balcony, I just let out a long breath and hung over the balcony trying to get my senses back.I barely heard a word after Alpha Caleb mentioned the marking ceremony.Suddenly, I felt someone rub my back and felt the sparks going down my spine. It was Ash.“What’s wrong Red?” He looked at me with t
Scarlet:The drive to Asher’s place was quiet. Not a word was said, not even the sound of the radio. Usually I like the silence but this … is just awkward. The engine was more talkative than Ash at this point in time and it was weird because he usually likes the sound of his own voice. When he eventually stopped the car, he climbed out of the car and made his way to the large building's entrance.When I got out, I tried to see the top of the large building but it was like it never ended. When I looked back toward the entrance again, I got a fright when I saw Ash was out of my sight. I quickly ran into the entrance and was once again stopped in my tracks to take in the spectacular interior. The entrance hall was like I had gone back in time and entered the palace in the baroque era.Gold and marble lined every corner of the hall and reception and it was luxury at its best. Suddenly, someone grabbed my hand and dragged me away from the hall. “Why do you have to move at the speed of a
“Listen Scarlet, you can do this. Don’t let him over-power you in any way ”, I told myself whilst looking in the mirror. When I eventually opened the door to step out, hunger hit me like a truck. In more ways than one. My favorite pizza and my favorite man. One had toppings and one was missing a top. It was like he was trying to seduce me and he was winning this game effortlessly. He had a pair of grey sweatpants and it was like somehow he was even hotter. Luckily, a temporary fix was in place for me. My hunger for food right now is way greater than my hunger for him. I stormed past him and grabbed the pizza and started to chow down like a hungry beast. When I suddenly stopped at the feeling of someone staring at me, I realized my mate was staring at me in absolute shock.“The pizza was for both of us”, I looked down again and saw one slice left. I held the box toward him.“No, it's fine. You can have that. I’ll just have the dessert”He said to me with that stupid grin dancing on
I woke up to the smell of pancakes filling my room. I’m not even sure when I eventually fell asleep but I did. I grabbed my phone to see what the time was. It was eight in the morning. I threw my phone on the bed and pulled the pillow over my head in hopes of falling asleep again, but then I heard a soft knock on the door. “Red?” I was kind of surprised at the softness in Ash’s voice. “Yes” I said, hoping he would make as if nothing had happened last night because I so wished it didn’t. “Can we talk? I made pancakes as a peace offering”. I grabbed the pillow hoping it would muffle my screams.I don’t think I am ready to face the embarrassment but those pancakes do smell good. “Please”, I heard him plead from the door. We both knew he could rip that door off its hinges if he wanted to, but out of respect, he didn’t. I walked up to the door and waited for a second before I unlocked.“I’ll come out if I am not the breakfast”, I said to him to try and make the tension between us less
Asher left a while back after I stomped into my room again and shut the door. He had slammed the apartment door on his way out, making it clear he was unhappy and leaving.When that sound shivered through the halls of the apartment and filled my ears. Agony filled my stomach and made its way to my heart. Pounding through its door and breaking it away. I was missing him even though he had only been gone a few seconds and it was hurting me. I laid in bed not crying but just staring out the window at the sky wishing I knew what to do next. Wishing that he wasn’t my mate.Wishing I had a different opportunity. A second chance.A new start.Suddenly, a sound from the door filled the apartment again, but this time it wasn’t a door being banged, not the door moving in any direction at all. It was a knock. I sniffed the air to try and smell their scent. When I did, I rushed to the door and ripped it open. My mom’s eyes widened at the sight of me. I bashed my body into hers, just throwing h
