Scarlett was exhausted, with blisters on her feet and feeling hungry. All she desired at the moment was to take a hot bath and have a warm drink, followed by a comfortable bed to rest her weary body. She shut her eyes, focusing on the peaceful murmur of hushed chatter from the cafe patrons around her. The small cafe was situated beside a clear loch, surrounded by towering mountains on three sides. The friendly locals respected her need for solitude and did not interrupt her deep in thought. When she was sinking into a well-worn wooden chair, nobody questioned her actions. After days of climbing the nearby peaks in the rain and wind, Scarlett was thrilled to finally be warm and dry. Despite wanting to cut the trip short, she couldn't resist her enthusiasm. As she sat in the cozy cafe, surrounded by the low murmur of voices, Scarlett felt the warmth seeping into her bones, and thought that the city was truly heaven.

One of the King's guardian, Joel Serge, entered the Great Hall where King Tobias was waiting for him. The King narrowed his gaze and spoke impatiently, "What do you have to report? Have you found her yet?" He bowed his head respectfully before answering, "Nay, My King, we failed to locate her in the surrounding areas." Tobias slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne, his impatience turning into anger. "We need to find her and bring her back to me, no matter what it takes," he growled, his eyes blazing with determination. "I won't rest until I have her in my custody again." Trying to hide the fear in his eyes, Joel hung his head and said, "We've searched everywhere, My King," he said. "But she seems to have vanished into thin air." The King stood up from his throne and strode towards him. "I don't care if you have to turn the city upside down, you will find her," he hissed. "And if you fail me again, you'll face the consequences." "Yes, My King," he replied, his voice barely a

Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 21: Painful Memories
Scarlett sat on the edge of her bed in the inn, her mind heavy with the weight of her past. The room around her felt suffocating, and she longed for a breath of fresh air to clear her thoughts. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath, trying to center herself and find a moment of peace amidst the storm of memories.As her mind quieted, she felt a gentle breeze sweep through the room, carrying with it the scent of wildflowers and the distant sound of birdsong. It transported her back to a few weeks ago before the tragedy, to a moment of innocence and joy.That time the moon was full and bright in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the dense forest. Scarlett sat by the fire, staring into the flames as her family members bustled around her, preparing for the night's festivities.

Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 22: The Massacre
The memory remained fresh in her mind as the rogue lycans charged towards them, Scarlett and her family quickly transformed into their werewolf forms. Their powerful bodies rippling with muscle as they prepared to defend their home. They could feel their senses sharpening as they shifted, their fur bristling in anticipation. The transformation was both brutal and awe-inspiring. Their bodies convulsed and writhed as their bones shifted and cracked, growing longer and stronger. Their muscles bulged and rippled, and their skin sprouted thick fur. Their faces contorted into snarling muzzles filled with razor-sharp teeth, and their eyes turned a fiery gold or glowing red. It was accompanied by a deep, guttural growling, and in mere seconds, what was once the human-like figures had become the powerful, savage beasts. "Stay together!" Arthur shouted, his voice filled with determination. "We can beat them if we fight together!" The wolves lunged towards the attackers, their teeth bared and

Scarlett awoke from the haunting nightmare that tormented her every night, a constant reminder of the tragedy that befell her family. In the dim hour before dawn, she rose from the modest makeshift bed, covered in straw.Memories of the plush down-filled cushions in her former home flooded her thoughts, a stark contrast to her current circumstances. She longed for the simple comforts she once took for granted, reminiscing about them every day.

Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 25: The Whispering Pines
Scarlett pushed open the door and stepped out into the early morning mist. The dense fog hung in the air, creating an eerie atmosphere. The chill seeped into her bones, and the dampness clung to her skin. These conditions were less than ideal for a fight, as the moisture in the air muffled sounds, making it difficult to detect any potential threats sneaking up on her. But Scarlett was a smart girl with a deep connection to the natural world. Her father's teachings had ingrained in her the importance of using not only her physical strength and weapons but also her mind and senses in combat. As she walked through the mist, she focused on feeling the vibrations beneath her feet, a skill her father had taught her. She honed her awareness, utilizing all of her senses to stay alert and prepared for any potential danger that might lurk nearby. When she felt the rushing sensation from behind, she swiftly reacted and spun to her right and used the edge of her blade to defend herself. Howev
