“Asher…” Lucas came to an abrupt stop as if he had seen a ghost. Asher equally stopped. Following Lucas's gaze, his eyes landed on a figure he immediately recognized to belong to Scarlett. She was in the arms of a man. His legs slowed and finally rooted to the spot. Intense anger spurred Inside him as his fingers clenched. Almost at the same time, Scarlett left the arms of the man and looked behind her. She gasped in shock but as she made to go after Asher, Asher spun and marched off. Asher neither stopped nor casted another glance behind him as he stormed away. He arrived at the place where he had decorated to propose to Scarlett. For several seconds he stood staring down at the decorations and wine and flowers. “Urrgh” he groaned and overturned the mini table that had the wine and they all went shattering on the ground. He grabbed the blanket and flung. His fingers clasped together tightly as he panted. Was this why she refused to come see him? She was flirting around with me
SCARLETT Receiving a letter from Asher to stay away until he called for me wasn't supposed to mean so much but my insides said otherwise. As if something was wrong. Going to meet him seemed to be my only way of finding out what was wrong. One of the guards approached me when I entered the Alpha's compound. “Follow me,” the guard commanded. “To where?” I asked, confused. “There's someone that wants to see you,” the guard responded without sparing me a glance. I shrugged and followed him. Hopefully it might be Asher. But I was very surprised when the guard stopped before a man I had never seen or met before. “I'm sorry but do I know you?” I quickly asked, forcing my face and tone to stay as polite as I could muster. A big grin spread in the man's face revealing his coloured teeth. The stench emanating from him was enough to know he was drunk. And when he opened his mouth to speak, I was forced to squeeze my nose in disgust and had to restrain myself from puking. “Scarlett ri
Asher sat comfortably on his Alpha throne seat. For some weird reason he didn't understand, the seat that used to itch his buttocks suddenly felt comfortable. As he leaned back in the seat, memories of two nights back reared up in his head. Proposing to Scarlett was supposed to be the major highlight of the night but it was their time in the room that hit the core. He didn't know and never imagined he would connect so deep with a werewolf in that manner. Every one of his movements she understood and he equally understood every bit of her. When he held her close, she smelt like roses. When he kissed her lips, it was like it was his first time. It was succulent and he couldn't get enough. He swallowed thickly and a smile lit up in his face. He couldn't wait to announce it to the elders. For the first time since he assumed the Alpha seat, he was the first to arrive for the council meeting. The entrance of the first elder broke him out of his thoughts. Even the elder did not hold
ASHER Many times I had found myself trapped in the snarls of these wicked elders but today was the one I probably wouldn't forget in a very long time. I scurried out of the meeting hall with the last self control I could muster. Inside one of the buildings I let out my frustration by smashing my knuckles against the wall. I suppressed my wolf back and held back my growls. “His lost daughter?” I couldn't help but laugh. That man just never ran out of evil ideas. It seemed that was the only thing he thought and the only way he lived. How did he always manage to come up with something more worse than his previous every damn fuvking time?Ethan seemed more furious than I was. I was sure he must have tried so hard to hold back during the meeting. “Does this make sense? How did he have a daughter no one else knows?” He gritted angrily. “Fine, let's agree he has a lot of women but that girl looked nothing like Silas Darkthorn. Did you see her eyes, Asher? She is dangerous!”“So what wi
SCARLETT “You have a visitor,” Camie announced. “She always has a visitor. Who is it this time? The Alpha or a new toaster?” Joy shook her head and eyed me suspiciously. I sighed and rolled my eyes suppressing my groan. I wasn't expecting anyone. Not even Asher. Ever since one of the girls gossiped how Gamma Lucas had taken me to a man lycan, they never stopped teasing me about it. Truly, bad news spreads faster than cancer. If only they knew what actually happened that day. “No. Gamma Lucas,” Camie confirmed. “Gamma Lucas?” Both Joy and Louisa blurted in surprise. Gamma Lucas? Why was Gamma Lucas here to see me? “Why?” I asked, getting up from the bed. “We should be asking you.”I shrugged. “I have no idea. I will have to go and see.”I mounted the stairs and stood at the foot of the stairs trying to locate Gamma Lucas in the midst of the noise from the girls playing games and the ones strolling around and their cheerful chants. The reason for Gamma Lucas' visit still worri
“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. “Ok
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
