“You are very beautiful and even if your boyfriend really did break up with you today, you please my eyes. What do you say? Let's have some fun. Drinks on me.”
A hiccup left Scarlet. She blinked. Before she could get a chance to refuse the strange yet tempting offer, the strange man was already walking into the club. She snapped back and after him, she ran. True, she could use some drinks.
Her steps quickened as she tried to match his long stride.
“Who are you and what is your name?” She asked again.
He didn't stop nor said any word until they were inside the club.
“Fuvk out of the way bitch!” A completely wasted guy barked at Scarlett as he growled past her.
Tall man pulled her out of the way.
“This way. You don't want them squeezing you in here,” he guided her out of the people packed hall towards a slightly wide and long corridor.
A drunk man poked his head out of one of the rooms and began to puke.
Tall man lifted his palm and covered her eyes, stopping her from seeing the content of the vomit.
They walked for close to a minute and finally stopped in front of a door. Scarlett watched as her companion easily pushed the door and stepped in.
“What is this place?” Scarlett’s eyes danced as she hesitantly got in.
Noah had power and could get any room he wanted in Harrow club but Scarlett doubted he had ever been to a room as luxurious and exquisite as this one.
“Are you sobered up now?” He asked as he poured himself a drink in a glass.
Scarlett’s eyes followed him.
“I am Scarlett. Who are you?”
He chugged down the entire content of the glass at a go. Poured a fresh drink in the glass and started back to the cushion.
Scarlett followed him. She sat at the cushion across from him, still watching him. Who was this man? Everything about him oozed perfection. He was wealthy, she didn't need to guess. But his eyes… wild, intense and… and desirable.
It didn't help that he had flung his coat away the moment they stepped into the room leaving his shirt strapped to his extremely muscled body. He looked like he rode horses for a living while commanding a host of armies. There was just something dangerous about him. Dangerous and yet desirable. And she was curious.
She gulped and tore her gaze away.
Don't be shameless Scarlett, you just broke up with your boyfriend. Have some fuvking decency and get a grip!
“Why wouldn't you tell me your name and why did you bring me here?”
“You can have as much fun as you want here. You won't be disturbed here.”
“But there's no fun here. It's just us. What fun could we possibly have here all by ourselves?”
The words left her lips quickly but Scarlett regretted it the next instant.
He looked up, held her gaze. “We can make it fun,” he smirked.
She held his gaze. But looked away quickly.
Huh…we?...”
He stood up.
“Why? Aren't you curious why I brought you here?”
Her heart skipped. Why hadn't she asked? She got up and darted to the wine table. “I should get a drink.”
As she poured the drink, she noted from the corner of her eyes his tall figure approaching behind her. Her fingers faltered.
“What are you afraid of?”
She stopped pouring but didn't turn as she slowly lowered the bottle on the table.
“Is there anything to be afraid of?” Her voice was shaky.
“I could be a killer.”
Her throat went dry. He could be a killer and she had foolishly followed him. What was wrong with her?
“So now you want to hurt me after bringing me in here?”
“You think I would?”
He came beside her and started to refill his glass. Perhaps it was her imagination but she felt his hand brush lightly against hers. Her heart suddenly started to pound fast. She couldn't grasp her glass. She heard him move from his position and stood behind her.
He bent towards her neck.
“Don't lie. You want me… don't you? Your body is craving for me but you are not obedient to ask. You want to hold it in but how long do you think you can do that…”
Her legs wobbled. She could feel his breath fan her neck sending her whole body tingling. She wanted him. How shameless of her.
“Just say the word… tell me you want me. Go on.. say it…” he whispered.
He stopped briefly and observed her for a second.
She looked so lovely. His heart did flips and he thought he heard his wolf make a sound.
But the sight before him pulled his attention.
“This is wrong…” she rasped as he began to part her legs. The mind resisted but Scarlett’s legs had a mind of their own.
He delicately slided a finger into the well of inviting juice, feeling her moistness urging him on. He bit his lips and cussed under his breath. Her moans and beauty were driving him crazy.
She gasped and tightened her grip around his head.
Her hand found his zipper. She grasped his bulge.
He paused as his gaze found hers.
“I want this now…please…”
He smirked and stood. Pulled down his pants. Veiny shaft dangled out.
“Damn…” Scarlett groaned out a cuss. She wanted to feel the monstrous looking thing before her. But there wasn't time. She would rather it be inside her that instant.
He plunged into her after only a moment of tease in her lower region. A tease that nearly drove Scarlett crazy for a moment.
Hands tightly gripping around his neck, her head fell back as he drove into her, ramming and pounding.
In that moment nothing else came to mind. Not Noah and not her broken heart. Only the fine tall man before her and the bad yet nice things he was doing to her and the high heavens he was taking her to.
*********************************
A stir and a soft groan. Scarlett's eyes fluttered open. Her head ached almost immediately. For a moment, she wondered where she was and how she had gotten there. In an attempt to go down the memory lane, a grunt came beside her interrupting her thought.
She looked and next came her flinch.
With a rush, the memories flooded in
Shit!”
“Shit!”
What has she done! Her eyes darted across the room where her dress lay on the floor without any care.
“Damn!” She groaned once more, unable to believe herself. She was no better than girls of the pack after all. Opening her legs for a man she never knew. A total stranger.
But nothing happened if he never saw her face. All she had to do was leave before he awakened.
Propelling herself slowly, she pushed herself out of the bed. The figure beside her let out a soft snore causing her to halt. Her mind flew. She thought he had woken up but he hadn't. She muttered a small sigh in relief and continued her way out.
She grabbed her dress and others and slid into them.
Quietly she pulled the doorknob and stepped out momentarily wondering how it was possible for an almost proper apartment to exist in a club.
But that was the least of her problems as she hurried out. Luckily she successfully made her way out of the club.
All through her walk back home, Scarlett tried not to think about the night, the unknown man she had given herself to and Noah.
She hated to admit she enjoyed every bit of what had gone down with the unknown man. But she chose to dump the memory and every thought of it back there.
“It never happened… I never went to Harrow club and I never met any tall man.” She told herself repeatedly.
But who was she trying to fool? Every part of her body would probably remind her of it for how long.
The moment she stepped into the house, irritation crept into her.
“Where are you coming from Scarlett?” Her father asked, stopping to sharpen his arrow.
Scarlett came to a standstill, anger surged through her. It was all his Father's fault Noah ended things with her. He was a disappointment. He shamed her and made her a laughing stock in the Pack. All he did was sharpen arrows all the time. His wolf was as useless as his human.
“Nowhere,” she answered curtly. She tried to keep off the annoyance from her tone but failed.
Mr Davis remained calm. He gently lowered his glistening arrow. “I made some breakfast. You should have some. It's your favourite.”
Scarlett bit her lips to stop herself from hissing.
“I'm not hungry,” she finally said and marched into the house.
SILAS DARKTHORN'S HOUSE Silas Darkthorn leaned back, a glass of wine in his hand. The smile had returned to his face. He watched the elders argue as they ate and drank. He sipped his own drink, gradually, touching his chin occasionally. One of the elders bent slightly and hailed him. “You are the greatest, chief!” His mouth slightly curved into his signature smile of acknowledgment. If he had known it was what it would take to end the useless back and forth with Asher Donovan, he would have done it long before Asher ran mad. Did Asher really think he could come up against him? He scoffed. He knew Freya had betrayed him. He was Silas Darkthorn and no one could fool him. All it took was a knife to her loved ones throats and she came back to her senses. Her family will remain captive until the deal is done. Until Asher was pronounced dead and he crowned Damian the new leader. For a moment he worried about Damian going astray but waved it aside. If he could handle the legitimate son,
SCARLETT’S POV“I must see the Alpha immediately!” Silas Darkthorn demanded. Rumours were flying around about how Asher had become bedridden and his body rotting away. But it wasn't just mere rumours. It was true. Asher was dying and we were hiding it. I stood, hidden behind the corner of the hallway. Ethan tried to make him leave. “The Alpha can't see you now, chief elder. I suggest you leave and come back–”“Leave? I am the chief elder of this Pack and have something important to discuss! Take me to him right now!” Silas yelled. He was yelling like one who had strong evidence. We'd tried to keep everything away from people, limiting the numbers of guards around Asher's private chamber and keeping the maids completely away. But of course it was Silas Darkthorn and his eyes and ears were everywhere. Especially her—the traitor, Freya. She gave me her word. She promised she'd changed. I plopped to the ground. Where did everything go wrong? “Listen to me, Ethan I am leaving here an
“So what should we do now? You can't get near him and you surely can't kill him on your own. Should I call my Dad? He may know a good way to handle this.” Rose suggested. Alloy who'd been silent suddenly hopped up. His eyes elated. “Listen, he said to bring his head. All he cares about is that he's dead. He didn't say I have to do it myself.”“What are you insinuating?” Asked frowning Rose. “It means he don't mind even if I pay someone to do it!”“Yeah yeah! That's great! Who do you have in mind?” “You both have gone crazy! Planning treason!” Noah growled. “I told you to shut the damn up and mind your damn business, coward! You don't want no part in this and so have no say in this!” Alloy growled back. “Rose, don't take part in this!” Noah warned Rose. “Come on Noah. We need to get our Pack back!”“I'm not a part of this.” Noah gritted. “Yes coward! Goodbye coward!” Alloy yelled behind him. Noah stormed off angrily. Why wouldn't his brother be wise to know he was walking himse
SCARLETT’S POV“Lucas! Open this door!” Asher knocked. “Dude, quit this already! Are you a kid?” Ethan yelled. It had been four days since Lucas locked himself up in his room and wouldn't step out. He was afraid he'd really hurt Asher.“Dude, I told you, none of what happened is your fault. The healer said you were hypnotized or something. Asher trusts you. He knows you won't hurt him. Open the door!”I did not tell Asher Freya had a hand in it. As much as I didn't like what happened, I thought I could use a break from Lucas's hateful eyes and glare each time he saw me with Asher. “He will come around. Why don't you give him some time?” I told Asher. It was the third time in the day he was coming to check on Lucas again. He sighed and nodded. He looked down and I wanted to lift his mood. “Do you mind if we go somewhere?”“Somewhere important?” “Uhm, just somewhere where you will forget about everything.”He smiled. It was the first time since Lucas issues. “I'm sorry but I can't.
SCARLETT’S POV “We need to talk.” I demanded. “Send your maids and guards away.”Freya looked at me like I had lost my mind. “Are you crazy? Barging into my quarters and ordering me to send my maids and guards away?” “Send your maids and guards away.” I ordered, shooting her a cold piercing glare. At that point she saw I was not there for jokes and quickly did what I said. “Why did you do it?” I questioned. “Do what?”“Don't act innocent with me. Why did you do it?” I asked again. “Do what! How am I supposed to answer you when you are not making any sense!”“Lucas. You poisoned him. I thought it was weird when the maids said you offered to take his meal to his chambers. Why did you poison him? What poison was that and why did you do it?!”“I—It wasn't…” “Answer me!”“Because that's the only way to get him to keep trusting me! Yes, you are right. I am only a pawn but what do you think happens to the pawn that refuses to obey his master?”Silas Darkthorn. My fingers curled. Ever
“How can you allow them to lead our Pack! What did they do to deserve it?” Rose was furious. When her pouting method did not work, she knew she had to use a different method. “That damn Alpha.” She cussed inwardly. If Asher had allowed the Beta to take over, it would have been her father taking over but he had to bring out two dead souls to lead and now she was going to be stuck with Noah again. But she didn't mind. She didn't mind so long as she became Luna. As she'd always wanted. Noah sighed. “So what? What do you want me to do? Fight the Alpha?”“Yes, fight! If that's the only way, then do it. Your father, you and your brother worked so hard for the Pack to leave them in the hands of those weaklings!”“He's a coward.” Alloy hissed. “He can't even avenge our father let alone fight for anything.”“Listen Alloy, I will help you. Let's fight together,” Rose offered. “Fine.” Alloy accepted.“No, Alloy you will not drag her into your dangerous plan. Rose you will do nothing!” Noah gro
