Red POV “Maven,” Felix said, smiling widely. Who is she? Why does she bear this much resemblance to my mom? Felix stood up, running towards her. He hugged her tightly, her head on his chest. “I’ve missed you so much,” she said, hugging him back. “Me too; you left for so long; don’t do it again,” he said, pulling back. I sat there, just looking at them. Aurelian stood up, walking to her, and he hugged her warmly. I don’t know their relationship, but the hug was warm and comfortable. But she pulled back, glaring at him. “What is she doing here, father?” she snapped. My mouth hung open. “Father?” Adrian and I said it at the same time. Father? He has a child! Way older than me! “You know I can’t tell her to leave,” he said. “Yes, you can, father; she is nothing but trouble. What the hell is she doing here?” she asked, her eyes glowing light red. Felix smirked as Aurelian didn’t know what to say, and Yasmine kept looking at the table. Oh, so she is the boss here. “Maven, calm down;
Red POV I sighed, bored out of my mind. It’s been hours, and the whole place is quiet and boring. I sat up in my bed. I don’t even know where Adrain went. I stood up, dragging myself out of my room. I walked down the hallway, and the whole place was so quiet; it’s like I am the only one alive. What is going on here? “This is getting creepy,” I mumbled. “What is?” a voice said. I jumped, turning around in shock, and Maven stood there, floating in the air. That is why I didn’t notice her. “Jeez, you scared me,” I said, patting my chest. She smiled. “I do that a lot,” she said, standing on her toes. I breathed out, looking at her. “What are you doing?” she asked, tilting her head. My mom used to do that. “I’m bored,” I said. She smiled, grabbing my arm and dragging me to a room—probably her room. She opened the door and didn’t even allow me to admire the room as she had dragged me off to the balcony, where there was a comfortable sofa. She dropped me on it, sitting opposite me, an
Red POV I ran all the way to the school, hoping I would see him. I can’t imagine how he must have felt about his mate not recognising him. He didn’t even act weirdly; he was so normal and calm. How was he able to do that? I wouldn’t have been able to do that at all. I got there and sat on the bench. The school had not closed yet, and he wasn’t here, but I sat there. Flipping my legs and wondering when he will come, I have so many things to say. I breathed out and adjusted the hair that was sticking to my neck. I am so frustrated. Why is all this happening in my life? I thought Bryan was the worst thing that could ever happen to me, but this is way worse. Having two mates, not knowing what to do, and trying my best so no one ends up hurt. “Someone would still end up hurt,” Aurora said. I sighed, knowing she was right. What can I do so nobody gets hurt? I can’t be with both of them, and I have to choose one. Wait, what am I saying? Aurelian doesn’t want me; he wants Yasmine, right? “
Red POV I dragged myself to the dining room. My day was terrible, and my night was a nightmare. I kept seeing Aurelian in my dreams, and each time he said he didn’t want me, I would wake up and cry myself to sleep just to have the same dream. My eyes are so heavy and red, and tears have dried up on my face. I feel pale and empty. I have no more tears in my eyes. I dragged myself to the dining room, sitting beside Felix. “Are you okay?” he asked. I looked up, and he gasped, removing my hoodie. “What the hell happened to you?” he asked. I ignored him, facing my food. I ignored everyone taking my food. “She doesn’t even have respect, taking food before her king and queen,” Yasmine said, and I stopped, removing my hand. “Shut the fuck, bitch; if not, I feel sorry for what I would do to you,” Maven threatened, and she said nothing. Maven served me food, putting plenty of bacon on it. “Felix told me you love meat,” she said, opening a plate, and there was a steak. “Eat,” she said. I s
Red POVI woke up from my sleep, and I found myself in a strange room. I looked around me, and I remembered what happened yesterday. I sighed, laying flat on the bed. What does this mean? He wants us. Or is he just being nice? But can a man be nice to someone by bringing them to their room? The door opened, and I continued looking at the ceiling.“Good morning,” his deep voice said, sending shivers down my spine. I sat up, and my eyes widened. Aurelian stood in front of me with his towel tied around his lower torso. His body was dripping wet, straight out of the shower.“Damn,” I said absentmindedly, looking down at his muscular body. I licked my lips, imagining what his body could do to me. He was muscular but not that huge, which is perfect for me. Oh, what I could do to run my hands down those prominent abs.“Red,” he called, and I looked up at him, still distracted. My goodness, his lips are plump, smooth, and shiny. His messy wet hair, fuck. His chuckle brought me out of my thoug
Red POVI squint my eyes opened, breathing out. I looked around, and I was in the penthouse. I tried to sit up, but I lay down as my body throbbed in pain. The door opened, and Maven ran inside.“Are you okay?” she asked, helping me up and putting a pillow behind me. I looked down at my leg, and there was a cast on my right leg and scratches on my hands and arms. My left hand was in pain, so I used my right hand to touch my neck, and there was a cast on my neck.“Why am I on two casts? My wolf should have healed me by now,” I said. She sighed.“Yasmine used all her power to throw you into that wall; you are severely injured, and it will take 2 or 3 days to heal you,” she said. My mouth hung open.“She has that much power over me.” I asked.“Yes, she is a Lycan; you are a wolf. She could kill you,” she said. I sighed.“I am not safe with her around,” I said. She shook her head.“You are; she is powerless against you now,” she said.“How?” I asked.“Well, Aurelian removed her Lycan powe
Trigger Warning! Mentions of rape!Red POVIt has been two days since the whole Yasmine mishap. I have not seen Yasmine or heard anything about her; the only people I have seen are Aurelian and Maven. I have heard Felix’s voice, and that is it. I don’t know why Aurelian decided to hide me away in his penthouse, but I don’t want to question it. I have grown used to being cuddled to sleep, waking up to his deep morning voice, sleepy hair, and delicious food. It has been two days, but somehow it’s like a routine for me already. But this morning, however, I woke up, and I am not seeing Aurelian.“Where is he?” I asked myself, yawning. The door opened, and he came in all dressed up.“Good morning,” he said, smiling. I looked at him all over.“Why are you dressed?” I asked.“I am giving you a tour around the academy,” he said. I nodded my head. I was hoping he was taking me on the date he planned. Did he even mention a date? Don’t go over yourself, Red; just go with the flow.“I will get re
Red POVWe toured around the academy, and it wasn’t like I expected. Rodney and Aurelian were awfully quiet after a visit to Kion. I could see Aurelian still boiling in anger and I know he has all rights to be angry because I would also be angry, but the tour ended with me asking questions carefully in order not to make him more angry and Rodney answering the best way he could.“Don’t think about it too much,” Rodney said to Aurelian as we stood in front of the elevator.“I will try,” he said, and they shared a warm hug.“See you later, Red,” he said, smiling, and he left after my short wave. Aurelian entered the elevator, and immediately the elevator closed. I found myself backed up to the wall, his lips on mine. I was shocked for a second as it happened so suddenly. Is that why he has been staring at me all day? He carried me up, my legs wrapped around his waist, and I kissed him back roughly. I moaned, my body shivering as his hand went inside my shirt. His bare palms gripped my wa
