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
“Asher speaking…”My heart pumped at the sound of his voice and I was taken aback, rethinking everything I had done.Am I doing the right thing? Will he think I’m cheesy? Will he laugh at my gesture to make amends?“Who is this?”there it struck me. Right in the gut. He never had my number because we never spoke over the phone. I got his number from Layla a year ago and he never knew.“S…Scarlet” I answered hesitantly. “Red” I heard him grinning through the phone in the way he had said my nickname. “You miss me already”. What he said was true. I was missing him terribly. “No, I just wanted to find out when you would be back” “When you want me to Red. Do you want me home?” his tone of voice sent shivers down my spine. It was so gruff and sexy that if he was here it would be hard for me to keep my hands to myself.“Yes”,Just glided out my mouth, revealing my true thoughts before I even realized it. “I mean yes I don’t want you to” I said quickly, trying to hide my desperation for
“Scarlet look at me” I hear him command me but luckily for me that doesn’t work with me. “Ash, if we are going to do this you will have to treat me as your equal”His eyes was so shocked, as if, though I had stabbed him in the back. “Scarlet that we… can work on later” He said regaining his sanity before he continued. “But as for Saige she was just a fun time that’s it, you are my mate Scarlet you will always be in a category of your own that no one else can be in” “So you admit she was good” I glared at him studying his every move and anticipating his next comment.“Damn Scarlet what do you want me to do go back in time and somehow convince myself not to F*ck Saige?” “Yes” I said as his whole body seemed to cave in on itself with a sigh that left him. “Scarlet I can’t do that and we both know that” “well then don’t give me an offer that you can’t hold up”.“Scarlet do you know what sarcasm is” “Of course I do. Not just do you want to say my sister is great in bed but also say tha
After grabbing a shower, I got dressed in some of my own clothes. Luckily, my mom brought a duffle bag with her yesterday containing all my own clothes and fresh undies finally. I got dressed in black wide-legged pants with a stay groovy hippie-inspired shirt and paired with my all-too-trusted doc martins. I found them casual and overall comfortable. I then made my way to the best place in LA that I knew of for tonight’s dress.When I entered Fabuleux robes, a French designer loved by all of La for their unique designs, I knew I would not be disappointed until I was. All of their designs were so avant-garde and way outside of what I was looking for. Dare I say I would’ve loved something a bit more sexy than scary? When I eventually found a beautiful red dress that was calling my name from the moment I set my eyes on it. If a mate could be a dress, I’m sure I feel the mate bond.When I asked one of the girls for help she made her way towards me with an attitude filling her aura. “Can
Through the ajar door I see Ash busy f***ng my sister. I wiped the tears from my eyes that were blurring my vision just to make sure I was seeing correctly when I looked again. I see it clearer than daylight. It was the alpha office and she was spread across the table on her stomach. Ash is pounding into her from the back, whispering my name. My sister spotted me and she looked me in the eye with a big smirk. “Oh ash” she moaned whilst looking at me with that filthy smirk. I was frozen in place.I took a deep breath to try and calm myself at the horrific sight that was playing before my eyes. I pulled my hands into a fist so hard I could feel the nails digging into my skin. A pain way smaller than my heart that is shattering to pieces in my chest. I could actually hear it draining out the noise that was coming from the room. I closed my eyes. “Scarlet” was all I heard in the distance…Asher:Since I found out about Red being a virgin, it’s become hard for me to keep up with the boun
When we turned into the driveway of the parkhouse at Silvermoon, it was a massive modern mansion that was so bright it seemed like it could compete with the moon tonight. I was frozen in the seat of the car with my eyes glued on the mansion that was before me. I hadn’t realized I was lying on the door whilst watching the piece of architectural masterpiece laying before me until the door opened and I fell out. “Ouch now your nose is broken too” Damien laughed at his own joke. He raised his hand out to me to help me up. “Thank you for reminding me”, I said, glaring at him.We entered the packhouse and I realized it was very quiet. Unlike what mine was back at home where it was noisy all throughout the night. “Wow, it's quiet”“I know Scarlet, it was weird for me the first time I came here too, but everyone here is very diligent and almost everyone here are perfectionists at what they do. It's what makes this pack so strong. With that said, everyone respects their resting time so they m
Scarlet:Day 4Today should’ve been the day of nerves and excitement and maybe even losing my v card. But instead it’s a day I feel more depressed since the night my heart was stolen by death itself. Tomorrow would’ve been my marking ceremony. A day that is like a wedding for normal humans. And here I am having cold feet days before the ceremony. I wanted to hate Ash for causing this pain in me, but it was impossible.So I decided to make my way outside of my room for once. Just to stuff my face and hope it fills the hole that has taken the place of my heart.While I was stuffing my face with whatever I could find in the kitchen, Damian, arguing with someone, filled the room and then it went silent again. I turned around to see a tall and gorgeous man.His sun-kissed blond hair fell in tousled waves, accentuating his ruggedly handsome features. His hazel eyes, reminiscent of golden autumn leaves. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit that was in beige color and a chocolate-brown tie
