The burial rights for Mace and the rest of the deceased werewolves were performed the moment the moon surfaced over the clouds. Simon poured himself a cup of whiskey and drank it before pouring it over the fire to put it out. Scarlett locked her gaze on him, smiling with the reassurance that she would be there for him whenever he needed it.Simon was curious about Adolpha and Anton's whereabouts. They never showed up for anything. He sighed. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.""I understand how you feel, Simon. I completely do. Good job in completing this ritual."Simon turned to the pack. "I appreciate everyone's presence. It means a lot that we're all here for our brothers and sisters who died in the fight. We will only go forward from now..." Following a gunshot, a scream was heard, cutting Simon off. He fixed his gaze on Scarlett. "Was that a...""Gunshot," Scarlett finished. "The hunters." She took a look around and could hear murmurs. "Everyone relax," she said."Cyph
"Simon. You can't die." She set him on the ground. "I know you're hearing me, and you can't die. I will save you. Okay? I will heal you." She held his hand and looked up at the sky. There was no way she could save him. Everything will be over if she is too late. Scarlett began to cry, but abruptly stopped when she remembered something. She gasped. "The red water." She began to laugh. "Simon, the red water will save you." She stood up and attempted to pick him up again, but he was quite heavy. Scarlett dragged him instead, and as she walked further, the light of a car flashing in her face caused her to come to a halt."Scarlett." October dashed up to her. "Scarlett.""Mom, Mom, Mom." Scarlett left Simon and hugged October. "If I don't save him, he'll die.""You will then save him." Belly said as she ran up to her.Cornelia, Avery, and Mia rushed to her, and Scarlett told everyone her plan of using the holy water on him to get rid of the wolfsbane in his heart. They helped Simon into th
"Good morning, my princess. Happy birthday to you!" As Scarlett O'Hara approached the dining room, her father told her.Her long, red hair bounced behind her as she ran joyfully toward the dining table. It was her birthday and a birthday girl needed to be happy on her special day. Well, Scarlett was very happy. She had always looked forward to turning 18 years old. Now that she's an adult, she'd finally be able to do whatever she wanted. She'd also finally get to spend the day with her father before he departs on another trip.Scarlett was wearing a Lakers jersey, black skinny jeans and white sneakers that her best friends Cornelia and Avery had given her just yesterday after school was over as a birthday present."Thank you, daddy." She approached her father and kissed him on both cheeks before sitting down between her two sisters, Mia and Isabella."Happy birthday, Scarlett." Both her sisters and mother said."Thank you all for remembering my birthday." While she waited for the food
The sound of a crane slamming metal was all Scarlett could hear as she struggled to open her eyes. She could only make out a hazy image and a continuous metallic sound. Now that she could hear the voices clearer, Scarlett could hear her father joining in on the laughter as they drove to the NBA game.She remembered yelling that exact phrase, "There is a large bear on the road!" and then everything went blank after she heard her father scream.In the dimly illuminated room, Scarlett awoke, panting loudly. Her entire body was drenched with sweat. Except for the ticking of the alarm clock, the mansion was quiet. With her hand, she located it and switched it off. Scarlett wanted to stay beneath the covers after her nightmare, but she was afraid that going back to sleep would trigger another bad dream.She got out of bed and as she sank back into it, she became aware of how frail she was. Her head started hurting, and she could feel the bandages around her head as she put her hand to her h
"I'm sorry to inform you, but your husband is dead."October stumbled to the ground but was caught by Detective John after hearing this over and over in her head. Scarlett was shocked as she stood in the room, unable to move her legs. Like water falling from a fountain, tears were streaming down her face.Belly, on the other hand, was attempting to keep her cool for the sake of her family. Mia? She had no idea why her mother was on the ground when she descended the stairs."What is going on here?" She asked. Mia was only aware of the time that Scarlett was returned to her home by the police last night. Her mother had told her that her father went on an errand and would be back the next day but seeing her mother on the floor, Mia was expecting an answer.Her eyes then fell on Scarlett as she approached her. "Scarlett?" She touched Scarlett, startling her from her thoughts. "Why are you all crying?" Mia asked.Scarlett scowled as she turned away from her sister's eyes. She shouldn't be
Only a thin line separated love and hate, and hatred was something Alpha Simon was familiar with. Love was never his thing; he stopped believing in it after the death of his parents, which he had watched as they were brutally killed by the hunters two years ago. He desired vengeance. At any cost, he is going to exact the vengeance he so desperately desires.Like his wolf, Devil, Simon developed his ruthlessness when he became an alpha two years later, after putting in a lot of training and closing himself off with hatred. He was shielded and comforted by his wolf, but just as his wolf doesn't have a heart, so does Simon. He was a leader, and a leader must set an example by showing no mercy to humans or his own kind when they do something wrong.Humans have wronged him, so he won't forgive all of them. He'll keep killing them until he can round up the last few hunters and exact his retribution. He was 6'2" tall, had dark hair and brown eyes, a mixed skin tone, broad shoulders, and a ja
On a Sunday afternoon, Scarlett was standing in front of a large group of mourners who had gathered in front of a coffin. They were holding umbrellas over their heads to protect themselves from the still-pouring rain.As she stood next to October, she struggled to hold back tears in the hope that it was all just a bad dream and that her father wasn't already gone. Her auburn hair had recently been dyed black and was pulled back into a ponytail, and she was dressed in a long, black gown."Go on, Scarlett. Put the flowers on the casket," said October. As her mother's hand slipped from her shoulder, she walked over to her father's coffin to place the flower on it. "Say something to him so he can hear it," her mom added.Scarlett wasn't the kind of girl to hold those beliefs. She was the kind of girl who was knowledgeable about things that other people weren't. At two years old, she was already aware that the tooth fairy was a myth made up to make kids happy. She didn't go through financi
"Now, tell me. What secret are you and Mom hiding from me, Belly?"Belly scoffed and began to laugh. "I have no idea what prank you are pulling, but you can trust me Scar, Mom and I are not hiding anything from you."Slowly, Scarlett nodded. "Okay. I'll end the conversation if you say so. That's Mia you're looking for." Scarlett said as she peered over Belly's shoulder. I will find my way back to the car." She whirled around and started moving once more. When she arrived at the car, she unlocked the door when a recognisable head suddenly emerged and startled her by blowing confetti in her face. "What are you two doing here? You scared me." It was her very best pal. Cornelia and Avery.Cornelia and Avery have been Scarlett's friends right from childhood, and their parents are also each other's best friends.Avery has long black hair. She wore ankle boots over her short, pink leather skirt. She was standing next to Cornelia, who was petite. She wore long blue jean trousers with an open
