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
WRITER'S POVELDER CONOR'S HOUSE AFTER SCARLETT LEFT WITH ASHER“Damn it!” Elder Conor growled. He got up and slapped hard across the face of one of his men. “Fools! Bloody fools!”The men bowed their heads and apologized in unison. He shoved another one, clenching. “Now get out! Get your useless selves out!”“They can't do anything! They can't get anything done! Hopeless idiots.” He continued to bark even after his men had left How on earth had Asher known he brought in one of the werewolf girls?Asher had never had interest in the werewolf women, they all knew. And that made it more strange and suspicious that he had left his high horse of a house and brought himself to his house just to clarify his claim on the lady. “Get my car ready!” he bellowed. One of his men rushed into the place. “My elder, you…”“I said get my car ready morons!”The man dashed out again. Once his car was ready, Elder Conor climbed in and gave his driver the location. After minutes of driving, his ca
Asher had had many things happen to him but he had never had a woman, a werewolf woman confront him. The most surprising thing about it was that he was not angry about it. Perhaps because everything she said was the truth or because she was the one doing the confrontation. Moments later, Ethan strode in. “My Alpha, you sent for me.”Asher looked at him head to toe. He looked like he had been dug out from mud. “Where in Howling did they dig you out from?”“Somewhere nice and warm,” Ethan said grinning. “So what is it? I was told it is urgent. By the way, Lucas isn't back yet,” Ethan asked looking around. “You think he is alright?” He added, concerned. Asher dragged in a long breath. “I'm sure he is doing alright.” Lucas wasn't just the Gamma but one of the strongest Gamma alive. Asher trusted he could take care of himself. But what he didn't know was if his mission would be successful. Pushing that aside, he focused back on Ethan. “It's time to act. It is long overdue. I need y
Just as Asher ordered, Ethan took charge of the werewolf quarters’ affairs and began to act. Taking some of the Lycan Alpha guards, he trotted over to the werewolf quarters. Mamie saw him coming through the window that overlooked the quarters and hurried out of her office. “Welcome Beta Ethan,” she greeted meeting him halfway. “Follow me.” Ethan ordered without stopping. “My Beta, you did not inform me you were coming. Does the Alpha have a message for the werewolf women? Is there a woman he wishes to bring to him?” Mamie walked behind Ethan barely able to match his stride. Ethan did not speak until he entered her office. “Bring the other heads,” he ordered. Mamie hurried out and a few minutes later returned with the other heads. “I see you all are here now,” Ethan started when they had all arrived. “What brought you here, my Beta?”“Your sins.”Startled, the women looked at themselves with fear. “Your sins brought me here and I am here to punish you on the orders of…” he
SILVER FANG PACK“Baby, what is your father saying? Is he still being adamant?” Rose said as she slowly caressed Noah Campbell’s hair. “Don't worry Rose, I will make my father change his mind soon,” Noah said with determination. “How?”“Just wait. I am thinking of something. I will surely make him change his mind.”Rose stopped what she was doing and let out a sigh. “He has fooled you. Don't you see it? He promised to make you his successor if you find your mate but now he is planning on handing it over to your brother.”Noah raised his face to look at Rose. ”What makes you think so? My father would not do that. I have been by his side and I am his trusted son.”Rose chuckled, shaking her head. She couldn't believe Noah could still afford to not have sense and insight to see through his father's trick. But she was not going to let it happen. She will open his blind eyes to see just what he was supposed to see She turned him to face her. “Listen to me, Noah, you must make the first
SCARLETT“Girls! Girls! Did you hear? The Beta came to the quarter with guards and now they are trying to drag the heads away!” Camie announced gasping for air as she dashed into the room. “Really? Why?” Louisa jumped up to look through the window. “Who knows, although the Beta just left now but the guards remained and they are mounted everywhere in the quarter. You think something is about to happen?”Camie asked almost in fear. “They deserve it. They should be thrown into the Alpha’s dungeon. They deserve to be punished.” Joy said with a deep hiss. She was slowly getting better from that day. Me and the others were grateful for that. While she was not as cheerful as she used to be, she was slowly beginning to smile again. “You know anything Scarlett?” Louisa asked me quietly. I looked at her wondering why she would have the impression that I knew why the Beta would visit the werewolf quarters with the Alpha's guards.Thankfully the bell sounded, stopping her from starting anoth
In Silas Darkthorn's house, the elders gathered. They formed groups around their sitting positions, conversing. More like complaining. “Chief Elder promised to do something. He has done nothing since our last meeting. How long must we wait?” One of the elders gathered moaned. “Exactly. He promised he will make the Alpha lift the ban on the werewolf ladies but nothing has been done about it!” another complained bitterly. “How long are we going to wait? Is this another of his fake promises while we fatten his pockets and give him more of our wealth,” the first elder gritted, clenching his teeth. As soon as they saw Silas coming, their voices turned to hushes. Silas's guard tried to serve him his drink but he put up his hand and stopped him. He uncorked the bottle by himself and poured his drink. “Go on, you all should speak as much as you want. Express yourself. No one is stopping you,” he said to the elders before he took a short gulp. The elders grumbled amongst themselves. Whe
WRITER'S POV Scarlett regained herself, her eyes swinging open. Asher was smirking. Nervously, she hastily drew backwards only to miss her footing. He stretched swiftly and grabbed her wrist followed by the quick movement of circling his arms around her waist and pulling her close. She gasped and her eyes locked with his own. Her chest grew tight. She missed him. She missed him so much her heart ached. Moments like this made her wonder if she could have done things differently. Helping Asher while being beside him as Scarlett. When she felt her eyes getting misty, she quickly broke apart and shifted back. “Are you here to get your measurements done? I will get my tape and–” She spoke hurriedly and spun. But he grabbed her and pulled her back. “Can you do that?” He asked after another intense stare. “Do what?” She gulped hard, feeling her pulse race fast. He smiled and released her. Scarlett could not feel her legs as she located her tape and book. Her fingers were trembling and
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
