ANNIVERSARY GONE WRONG
Last Updated:
2024-03-16 17:55:39“Oh, I'm sorry, Scarlett, I don't think you should go up there right now.”
Scarlett Davis came to an abrupt halt at the foot of the stairs. A frown creased across her forehead as she casted a confusing look at her boyfriend’s sister, Saddy Campbell. Saddy was almost like a sister and heck she loved her but wasn't up for her games that moment.
“Why? I have to see my boyfriend, your brother. Noah is up there, isn't he?”
She looked past Saddy up the stairs. Legs itched her. She couldn't wait.
Saddy lashes blinked but she said no words.
Scarlett drew in a deep breath. Her patience was growing thin by the second.
She tried to sidestep Saddy but Saddy was quick to stand in her way again.
Another exasperated sigh. “What is wrong, Saddy? You need to get out of the way now. I can't keep Noah waiting.”
“I don't think Noah wants to see you now, Scarlett,” Saddy blurted. Her lips tightened into a thin line.
Scarlett’s eyes pinched. Saddy was always like this when she wanted something.
“Okay. What do you want, Saddy Campbell? Let me through and you have what you want. Tell me, is it the trending hair clip? That cute little Puma one or is it the latest Puma shoes?”
To Scarlett’s surprise, Saddy just shrugged. No excitement. That was the weirdest thing to ever witness. Saddy indifferent about the latest Puma brand shoes and hair clips. Something was definitely amiss.
“I'm sorry Scarlett but can you not see my brother today?”
“But it's our anniversary and Noah wants me here. You know how we always celebrate our anniversary? Come on now Saddy, I will get you some really nice cakes on our way back. Alright?”
Quickly, she rounded Saddy and headed up forcing herself to ignore the sad look on Saddy's face as she went. A glance at her wristwatch had her sighing. Noah would have given up waiting for her by now.
If only she hadn't entered the wrong train coupled with Saddy’s strange behaviour.
She ran up the remaining staircase, cornered into the hallway and stopped at the first door.
Scarlett paused and took a deep breath. Retrieved a little mirror from her purse and checked herself out once more. She had to be perfect. Noah said he didn't mind but she had to be perfect for him. She had ordered flowers and reserved a special place he didn't know of. It was going to surprise him. A little smile tugged at her lips. Certainly she was looking marvellous, Scarlett was sure to blow Noah’s mind away.
At the mental count of three she pushed the door and got in.
Tiny moans welcomed her with the sight she hadn't ever imagined to witness. Noah's hands were circled around another girl, lips locked.
Her legs froze right at the door. Lips parted but no words came out. The room spinned before her. Tears stung her eyes and slowly she began to retract, shaking her head.
Then she spun and bolted out of the room.
Scarlett ran all the way out and didn't stop until she was out of Alpha Campbell's building.
Outside she stopped, panting. Her hands reached for her chest and she clutched. She couldn't breathe.
“No…no… I must have seen wrong… I saw wrong…” she continued to mumble, shaking her head. But the memories had already been stored and they reared up again.
She couldn't just leave. Noah was her boyfriend of ten years. She couldn't just leave like a coward… like a loser.
She had to stomp the last of her pride aside and ask. She needed answers.
Clenching her teeth, she wheeled around and dashed back into the house but bumped into Noah who was coming after her.
“Scarlett, let me explain,” Noah started.
Scarlett looked up at him.
“Explain? What do you have to explain, Noah? That you have been cheating on me? That the whispers about you seeing another woman in the Pack is right? That what we had for ten years meant nothing to you? Is that what you want to explain? Fine. Go ahead and explain. Who is she?”
“She is Rose…”
“Damn you Noah! I didn't bloody ask you for her name! What is she doing in your room? Why was she in your arms while you kissed her?”
Tears clogged her throat. She paused to gather herself. But her emotions were getting ahead of her.
“Look Scarlett, there is something I should have told you…”
She managed to glance at him, her heart breaking with every second that passed. With every look he gave her. What happened to her lovely Noah?
“Two of us… There is no future between us. People talk. They will keep talking about you…your father…”
“Fuvk Noah! You said it was okay. You said you didn't mind the position of my father in the Pack… You said you don't mind our differences… you didn't mind my father being the Omega of the Pack…Why are you doing this to me now…”
“I'm sorry, Scarlett…”
She reached forward and held him. He had to still love and wish for things to work between them. She searched his eyes hoping to see even the tiniest bit of love for her still there. “I loved you Noah…No, I love you Noah. You know I do… I don't care that you are the Alpha's son and…”
He snatched away. “But I care… I care for it all Scarlett and no matter how much we pretend to not care, it will always be there. Deep inside of us, inside of you, you know what we had was meant to never last.”
She fought back a lump in her throat.
“Look Scarlett, I'm sorry I didn't mean for you to find out this way. But I think Rose is my mate.”
Scarlett shrunk. “What? You think?”
His face turned serious. “Maybe we have been deceiving ourselves all along. Two of us… we were never meant to be. There is nothing you can offer me. Your father can't help my father as the Alpha and the pressure is on me. I can't let my brother win. But Rose? Her father is the Beta of the Pack. You know what that means to people like me,” Noah said. He looked behind his shoulder to see Rose had joined them. He walked over to Rose and took her hands.
“She is the one for me. I have known her as long as I have known you. She is my mate and I have chosen her. Someday I hope you find your own mate.”
Scarlett felt her head so light, her knees so weak they nearly gave in. Her fingers grasped onto her dress.
The tears flowed. Noah and Rose disappeared back into the house. She barely managed to c
atch a glimpse of their backs through her hazy eyes.
She turned around and trudged away.

Scarlett felt several eyes on her as she curled herself into one of the seats in the bar. She ignored their dirty looks and continued to gulp down her drink. The night was cold and sad. Like her heart. Her throat burned at each gulp but her soul craved for more and her hands continued to pour. She was done crying. Now she was going to drink until her brains would blackout. “Look at her drinking herself to stupor.” She heard one of the girls in a table of three say. “Poor thing. I think I feel a little pity for her.”“Pfffftttt! I feel no pity for wretched bitches that don't know their place!” The first girl spat. “How dare she think she can get to be with the Alpha's son? A worthless Omega’s daughter marries the Alpha's son? Isn't that laughable?” The third girl cackled. “Fool. How she didn't know she was only being used. Noah is really smart. Worthless girls like her deserve endings like this one.”The other two laughed. “So, who is Noah's new bitch? Heard he is planning to mar

“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

HOWLING MOON PACKTHE LYCAN ALPHA RESIDENCEThere was no way he could get rid of the memory of her no matter how much he tried. A tinge of regret washed over him. Somehow, her scent still lingered in his brain. Her long dark hair that always found a way to her face the entire night occasionally flashed in his mind. And her moans still rang in his head. He sighed regretfully. He had never intended for it to happen. But the attraction was a lot. She was so pretty when she stared up at him. Not many women dared to do that. And heck when she had bluntly asked if he wanted to sleep with her, he nearly lost his mind. Perhaps it was because he hadn't laid any woman for too long a while. He hated himself more because there seemed to be no guilt in his heart. The thought of his first mate crossed his mind. His wolf leapt ready to judge him. Asher sighed and shook his head. Not now, wolf. He rubbed his tired eyes. “Who is she?”“Who is who?” Ethan sauntered in casually. Asher jolted, gav

“Miss Scarlett Davies. You must follow us now. You have been selected as one of the women to be taken to the Howling Moon Pack.”Two of the uniformed men reached forward and grabbed her. “What?” Scarlett shrieked. “Father! You can't let them take me away!” Scarlett cried. Davies lunged forward in attack but was grabbed and held down by one of the Alpha’s guards. “Not my daughter…. unhand my daughter now…!”“That we can't do Mr Davies.”A voice came from the door. Scarlett swore she recognized that voice. And right she was as Noah entered. Her jaw dropped. “Noah? What are you doing here? Don't tell me you did this…”“I had no option, Scarlett. My father trusted me with this and I needed to make him proud. Besides, you are without a mate and still a virgin.”“You cheating lying bastard!” Scarlett charged. The men held her. She fumed glaring at Noah. The Noah she didn't recognize anymore. Had he always been this way or was she blinded by love she didn't see.“Easy now Scarly darli

SCARLETTI looked behind my shoulder. It was the girl from the vehicle. Where had she appeared from again? “You…” I gasped. She steadied me. “Get a grip, girl. You don't want to be singled out on your first day.”I swallowed back the rest of my words. The Lycan Alpha was nearing where I stood and my heart was pounding hard. I dipped my head. He stopped before me and lingered. Dear moon goddess, make him go please…“Look up,” he ordered and I froze. Seemed I prayed too late to the goddess. Slowly, I raised my face. His eyes pinched. He tilted his head and regarded me. I kept my face plain, ready and determined to quickly deny if he so much as brought up the night at the club. As long as everything was concerned, that night never happened. Then he spun without another word. “Take them to their quarter,” he commanded. Together with the Lycan elders, he strode off. Huh? Didn't he recognize me?Perhaps I was too early to think the moon goddess didn't answer my prayer. But h

Asher’s face rumpled. He had been at it for over a few minutes The girl at the club and the girl that surely would be at the werewolf quarters by now were the same. The very girl that had occupied her mind the past few days. He was definitely sure about it. He was so certain she was the one yet couldn't understand why she acted so different. But why was she amongst the werewolf women?He paused and envisioned all over again her face and her reaction when he asked her to look up. He kept on wondering why she acted like she had never seen him before. He should have asked her right there and then but the elders were watching. And he clearly saw Elder Conor’s eyes on her. His jaw tightened. Those greedy elders…He knew what they would have been planning. He saw through their lustful eyes. Unable to hold back anymore, he called Ethan in. “I need you to bring one of the new werewolf girls to me.”“A new werewolf girl?” Ethan was surprised. Then his face broke into smug grin.“You know

SCARLETTI was fuming as I left the lycan Alpha's house. I almost charged at me but my wolf kept holding me back. I forced my legs to a stop outside the Alpha's house. What? So one had to give up something to be able to have a life in this shit hole?He had the mind to say those disgraceful words to me as the lycan Alpha. He knew the werewolf girls were facing such humiliation and troubles and he kept shut. He knew about the evils of his elders and he had been ignoring them. Little wonder they call him the puppet Lycan Alpha. It was getting clearer, the rumours. It was the Lycan elders that controlled him and it was clear he didn't have a mind of his own. How could I have given my virginity to such a coward. I had almost forgotten about my anger until strange things started to happen. And it didn't even take long. Some rough looking men came and took the girls away. One today, two the next day. The girls came back battered in the body with swollen faces and others came back bod

SCARLETTElder Conor was undressing when one of his men barged into the room. “My lord! The alpha is here!”“What? Asher is here?”“Yes.”“Why will he suddenly be here?”“We have no idea sir. He just arrived with his men and he is demanding to see you right now.”“Make him go away. Tell him anything. Just make him go away. Don't you see I’m busy?” elder Conor said angrily. Almost at the same time, another of his men dashed in. “My lord, the Lycan Alpha is on his way into the house.”“Fuvk!” Elder Conor cussed and hastily began to put his robe back on. He shot me a look and heaved with frustration. The guards were still standing at the door.He smacked their faces cussing as he dashed past the door. A big heavy sigh left me. The Lycan Alpha is here? Why? I stood up and began to find my way out. When I peered through the door, it turned out one of Elder Conor's men was mounted there to watch me. Even if I escaped, I was never returning to werewolf quarters. I knew my punishment

The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate SHE'S THE ONE
WRITER'S POV It was only the previous day but it felt like Asher wouldn't function properly if he stopped for a minute and thought about something different from the designer girl. “She is Scarlett,” he kept muttering to himself. He knew her too much to allow a few alterations to deceive him. She changed her hair and her eyes, so what? It didn't change the fact that she was still Scarlett. Was she avoiding being caught? “No,” he shook his head, recalling her response even when Freya was not around. She'd vehemently denied being or knowing Scarlett. He rubbed his chin, left his desk and went to the window. Changing hair style and color was possible but was changing eye colour even possible? He should ask a doctor. “Where have you been?” Freya questioned trotting in and breaking his thoughts. “You need to have your measurements taken. We are short on time.”Asher was just about to slam Freya and remind her again that he was never interested in officially marrying her and that was fi
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate UNKNOWN
WRITER'S POV The moment Scarlett had walked in, Silas Darkthorn had felt a kind of energy. He waited until she left before he called Mae in. “Where did you say you knew the girl that just left?”“The designer girl?” Mae repeated his question. “How do you know her?”“She's the new one in town and she seems to know what she's doing. I thought we should use her for the wedding.”Silas shrugged. “I have told you not to be too excited about this wedding. We are not going there to enjoy some meal but to watch history be made.”Of course I know my husband. It's just that I'm excited. She may not be my real daughter but I will be the mother of the day and that is a feat many women would kill to be in.”“Don't you like her?” She asked, taking a seat beside him. Silas shrugged. The feeling he was getting was far beyond whether he liked her or not. “Put your mind to rest, my lord. All that we have worked hard for will come to fruition very soon. We deserve it. You have served and worked so
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate IN HIS PRESENCE
SCARLETT’S POV All my mind was centered on Ava. Was she evil like her father or was she still the girl that saved me that day? Or perhaps, was I wrong about the version of her I saw that day? It worried me that she might have recognized me. Her behavior was off as well as her questions and words. I still remember that day vividly. She was the one that saved me from those bullies. Why did she lie? I could have agreed that she was talking about some other girl. But then she clearly said the girl was a werewolf. I was worried she'd begin to seek for things she shouldn't. I saw the doubt in her eyes when I denied recognizing her. It had already been a year. She could have had many encounters since then with many other Werewolf girls. A werewolf girl could have saved her as she narrated. Besides, she didn't say the werewolf girl was a girl staying in the werewolf quarters. But again, why was the name Scarlett?“It's this way.” Mae called my attention back. I almost missed her lead. It w
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate SHE SAVED ME
SCARLETT’S POV When Mae Darkthorn told me I'd be doing house visits job for her, I didn't think she was serious until one of her maids came and informed me to visit their home that evening. I told Samuel Wolfe and he was as shocked as I was. It was either Silas Darkthorn didn't know about me or Mae hadn't told him about me yet. However, it was a great opportunity which I grabbed with two hands. I had wanted so much to penetrate there but never found a reason. I arrived at Silas Darkthorn's house at 4pm and was let into the house. There were three buildings and each was well built. Sila's influence could be perceived right from the gate. “Wait here, my lady will join you soon,” the maidservant that had brought me in told me. She directed me to one of the wooden chairs stuffed with wool or perhaps cotton. There was nothing much to see in the room I was in. It had few chairs and was almost empty besides the paintings on the wall. It was hard to tell if Silas Darkthorn stayed in thi
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate RUMOURS
WRITER'S POV “Where are you off to?” Freya called out to Asher storming out. She felt insulted by Asher storming out on her entrance and then ignoring her. To hide her embarrassment, she ticked her tongue playfully and laughed. “He must be shy. Don't worry I will get him as soon as we are done here.”“Yes ma..my Luna.” Scarlett responded and took out her measuring tapes. “Wait…” Freya stopped her as she was about to wrap the tape around her arm. “What did you two discuss while I was out?”Something sank into Scarlett. She gulped hard a flash of her conversation with Asher flooding her head. “Well, of course he refused to say a word to you, right?” Freya asked before he would speak. Scarlett blinked. Freya sighed softly. “The Alpha is like that. He does not care about any woman except one.” She sounded sad. Scarlett felt a daring moment. “Why do you say it that way? Who is the woman if not you.”“Ah,” she laughed awkwardly. “Of course it's me. It just…it just feels surreal to kno
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate MELATI, NOT SCARLETT
SCARLETT'S POV “Are you ready now? May I come—” I asked, pushing the door open. Freya was latched onto Asher. As soon as she saw me, she pretended to be shocked. Freya invited me over. The opportunity I was looking for—a way to be close to Asher legally, was brought to me on a platter. The perfect one at that. The guard told me to wait behind on her orders. I glanced around. I recognized where I was standing. I had once stood there. Asher’s office. I heard them arguing. Freya’s desperation clawed through my chest and when I couldn't bear it, u bursted through the door. Asher froze at my sight. As expected. I knew. I knew I was going to run into him. I also knew that he was in there with her. It was even the reason I had boldly opened the door when the guard hadn't given me the go ahead to enter. Meeting him again was bound to happen. But why did it have to be in this manner…shit. I had prepared for this moment. I had imagined it. But it only made me want to shrink into a shell
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate DENIAL
ASHER I didn't think it would be this day but I saw her again. Why did it have to be today…why did it have to be this moment. “Scar…” my lips had already begun to move but I quickly called myself to order. A feeling of awareness overcame me causing me to finally push Freya away. “Oh, the designer is here,” Freya said, smirking. “Come on in.”My jaw clenched. This was all her plan—making her come in right at this second to witness this. I frowned as my heart skipped. I looked at Freya, dreading the impossible. Did Freya know she was Scarlett? “Hope you are ready? And you came prepared with everything you'd be needing? Like I said, what matters is how good you are. Have I made myself clear?”“Yes, ma’am.”“Here, I am referred to as ‘my Luna’ and you should too,” Freya told her. “Noted, my Luna. Would you like me to measure you first or show you the materials you requested?” She asked, unhanging the bag I could feel its heaviness from where I stood from her shoulder. I was watching
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate DESIGNER LADY
“Get ready. Someone is coming here today to take our measurements,” Freya said to Asher who was focused on the documents before him. Asher wasn't paying attention and it took a few seconds for Freya's words to fully register in his brain. He pushed the document close and looked up. “What did you just say?”“I have booked a designer. She'd design our outfits and she will be here any moment soon.” Freya was in front of the square-shaped mirror in Asher's office and giving her make-up finishing touches. She didn't need a glam look to take measurements for her wedding outfits. However she'd sworn to always appear perfect before Asher. It didn't matter for how long or for what reason and so far she was living up to it. She patted her index finger on her lower lip and smashed her lips together to create a full red lips. Asher scowled. “Designer? Who authorized?”“I spoke to my father–”“Your father is not the Alpha of this Pack nor the leader of this pack!” Before she would finish, Asher
The Lycan Alpha and his Second Chance Mate PAWN
SCARLETT The instant she walked in, something in me chilled. I recognized her immediately. Asher's wife and Luna to be of the Pack. It would be stupid if I studied everyone else but missed her. She was the arrow Silas Darkthorn was using to pin Asher down after all. There were so many mysteries around her. So much of her life before she left the pack was wiped off. Of course, it had to be no one else but Silas Darkthorn's handwork. Old geezer tried really hard to keep her record clean and eliminate any suspicions regarding the fact they weren't related at all. Where she lived prior to returning was another mystery I couldn't uncover. As I saw her walk in, I realized that perhaps it was finally time. Time to meet the pawn in this game. An important pawn. I had waited for her to show up since the day I opened. Had even chirped in to some of the younger women stylishly hoping the news would reach her someday. Had no idea it would take this short while. Few times that I snuck in to wat
