EPI 4 MAKING A PLAN

I quickly sneaked into a corner of the room in panic as I saw Zoe and Lucas kissing passionately.

I took a step back to avoid being seen by them, which made my head slammed the window, my eyes turned fierce as tears rushed out of my eyes.

I knelt at the corner and rested my head against the wall. Then torturing scenes of my nightmare kept coming back, head ache more than before.

I could not believed what I just saw , this was his sister he told me about or was Zoe someone else?

I held my head, trying to compress the emotions with the torture banging in my head.

"Those nightmares were true, it all really happened… They are all betrayers.

“She thinks you Love her, I felt for her though, no woman would stand such betrayal"  Zoe said kissing Lucas on the neck as he moaned out in pleasure.

“I would not think of betraying someone I valued and loved, I will not think twice about that"  he laughed out. My heart began hurting, as he said those words.

Hearing the conversation between them clearly, Lucas said to his lover… 

“I was able to convince her that you were my sister and my closest relative, so she believed that the only one closer to me was you." Lucas said smiling heartily. 

"Silly dullard once she is done convincing her forsaken mother clan to vote me as the Alpha position, I would announce you as my chosen mate.." He said again.

"Are you sure you are going to do that?" Zoe's asked with a scowl on her face, pushing him away.

"What is wrong love?" He asked as he pulled her toward him again, kissing her by her neck to comfort her.

"I am scared, what if you are going to betray myself that day?" Zoe asked, trying to release herself from his grip. 

But he held her tightly and even turned her toward him, caressing her hair down to her face and lips.

"Why worry about being betrayed by anyone? I never betrayed you and I would no such to someone I love and cherish" 

I heard those words of commitment, and feel like killing the both of them instantly.

I have heard more than I can speak, I had realized that whatever scenes I was reminiscing truly happened to me.

"Does that mean that I was dead and then reborn?" I thought as I touched my body and saw that I was perfectly fine, I then closed my eyes to invoke the wolf in me out, but I discovered that my wolf was dead and was not reborn with me. I was sad, I lost my wolf forever because of these wicked folks.

Then I saw a young man on white robe approached me as I lay helplessly in a red environment the flowers and clouds were red, it was like the world of karma, I opened my eyes to discover that I was in another world  which was full of peace, voices were heard laughing from afar. 

"Where am I?" I asked no one particular, as I forced myself to look around to see the environment I was.

“You are given a second chance to the Earth, and you must use it wisely, don’t just avenge without strategizing like a heroine of which you are," The young man explained, gently.

"Avenge? Second Chance? Heroine? What are you talking about?" I inquired but he just smiled and touches my forehead..

“Love shall never be near you, It’s not a curse but a fact, love would only distract you."

In my drowsiness, I nodded with tears rolling down, I was drained, my energy was no more .

I could see two women moving toward me  with a bowl, they knelt before me and forced a hot substance down my throat.

Back to reality, the two love birds were still there, fondling and kissing each other over and over again.

I recalled that before the matching ceremony, Lucas convinced me to tell my mother’s clan to vote for him as the leader and Alpha of the pack, of which I did and then came the betrayal, this time around would be so unusual to Lucas, Zoe, Charlotte and my father. 

Zoe and Charlotte did not stop me from convincing my mother’s clan to vote for her, there I thought of plan B .

I sneaked out of the room gently so they don't notice I was here. I went to my best friend room to have a good rest, but my body was shivering badly,  my intestine seems to have twisted and that causes me severe pain and discomfort.

"How love turned you into a fool, Scarlett.." I mumbled writhing in pain

I was once a strong, confident young girl that grew up in the midst of armies. My mother’s clan love and cherish me a lot, they believe I was wise to choose someone who would lead them to the right path, they were never in support of my mother’s decision to choose my father who was not part of them.

He was from a weak clan and would eat anything that fall off from the Blood shadow pack. 

My mother’s clan foresees a lot of evil that would befall them because of whom she chooses as her mate. They do not want me to make such a mistake and believe I am smart enough not to put my people in danger all because of love. 

But what have I turned to, I am now making the mistake my mother made when she was alive.

"You are given a second chance to avenge.." Those words rang in my brain again as if reminding me of something.

"Oh my Godness.." I gasp, I have been given another chance, now I could tell things that happened before the ceremony, I need to use this opportunity wisely.

Four hours later, my pain reduced a bit… yeah I used four hours to writhe in pain on the bed alone with no one there, I always go to her room when I want to be alone… since she understood she wouldn't disturb me till I am finally out of it.

I took off to Zoe’s house, hoping to find her alone in her room. I needed her privacy. 

"Whatever that is meant to happen, would happen at the right time and at the right place."  I repeat those words to myself, those where the words Zoe uttered to me, while torturing me in pain.

There I met Zoe in her terrace, looking up at the sky , unnoticed of me approach, she then spread her hands to the sky.

"Love is so powerful…."

"It can knock you down or raise you up to the standard you wish to be"

"I am  stupidly in love and I appreciate.” 

I then cough out so loud to distract the love poet she was singing, she must be really happy.

When I succeeded, I then knelt down before Zoe, with my hands clasped together.

"I know I acted so strange today, I am not doing this because I was asked to, I am here because it was the right thing to do.”  I then held Zoe’s leg, with my   face downwards, so she will believe i am so sorry.

"You don’t have to do this dear,  I have forgiven you before you even approached me," Zoe said, smiling and shocked as well, as to why I was apologizing this way.

“No, I am really ashamed of myself, I am sorry that I slapped you,  I don’t know what I was thinking. I would say I was in a bad mood, I am sorry. I can not imagine slapping my lovers best friend and sister. I am really sorry.” I explained in a very gentle and pitiful way.

“Its alright, I already told Lucas that you might not be in a good mood ,that was the reason why you disposed your anger on me “  Zoe smiled but her face showed disturbance.

"Yeah… disturbance just what I want.. You all watch me make you regret ever thinking of betraying me.
