ELIAS’ POVI wondered what could have happened back at home that made my father want to see me urgently even when he knew that I was with Scarlet.I looked back at Scarlet who was arranging the food, and it was so hard to break her heart by not staying longer with her. It meant I wasn’t going to be able to eat her food which was going to be heartbreaking.“Alright, no problem.” I responded, and hung up the call.I walked slowly back to Scarlet, and she looked up at me happily, but her smile slowly disappeared when I didn’t give her the reaction she was probably expecting.“What happened?” She asked, out of curiosity.“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I’ll be able to stay for breakfast. I have to deal with something at home.” I revealed to her with a sunken soul.“Wh…Why?” She asked, looking really depressed.“I do not really know what’s wrong, but for my father to ask to see me, despite that he knows I’m quite busy, then it’s something really important.” I explained to her, hoping that s
SCARLET’S POVI sat on the couch, but leaned my back on it, wondering what was going on with me. Although, it was a good thing that my abilities were coming back, but it was happening all of a sudden and I needed to know the reason.I had thought that I would never get my abilities back, so this was like a really big surprise for me. I decided to share this with someone, probably an explanation could come out from there.I reached for my phone on the table and decided to give Carla a call. I didn't want to bother Elias since he already had so much going on. “Hey, Carla. Can you come over to see me?” “Sure. I’ll be there, soon.” she replied. After hanging up, I stood up and went over to the kitchen to take a few snacks that we could share when she came over. After a while, Carla showed up, and we were both in the sitting room, crunching and munching on our snacks.“So, you’re trying to say that you got your abilities back.” Carla repeated as she made her expression that showed that
SCARLET’S POVTWO WEEKS LATERIt’s been two weeks, and I was finally back at school. I couldn't tell if it was going to be weird going back to school after everything happened. But I was sure it wouldn't be the same. I would feel more alone than I was before. When I approached the school's entrance, my heart was racing. I felt this paralyzing fear inside me as I glanced around. "Welcome back to school, Scarlet." I murmured. If it were before, I would have been more than excited to get to school, but looking at the school’s building, all I could remember was my 18th birthday.I remembered how I was so nervous back then, wondering who was going to be my mate, and what his reaction was going to be when he saw me.Unknown to me, my 18th birthday was the year that hit me with sorrows. The year my life turned upside down and I started to question my own existence. I exhaled deeply and pushed myself inside the hallway. While I strolled down the hallway to my locker, all eyes were on me, an
BRAD’S POVI wrapped my arms around her, and sniffed in her scent. It was calming especially since I was having a mental war in my head. “I’m sorry for the way I treated you, Scarlet. I’m truly sorry.” I apologized, hugging her tight, but I could feel her trying to push me away. I could feel her trying to resist me like I was a plague. Then I withdrew myself from her, and stared into her eyes. I could tell she was quite surprised, but I hoped that she was going to accept my apology. I could feel her anger too but I could always change that. “I’m also sorry for taking you away forcefully, and for the death of your mother. I really feel so bad for this. Please forgive me.” I apologized. "I know you think it's all my fault and I accept that. My desire to be with you got into my head and I wish I could go back to change that."“Forgive you?” She questioned softly, looking at me with a surprised expression.“I know you are really angry with me. Look, I realize that I made a mistake in pi
SCARLET'S POV“I’m… I’m sorry. I wasn’t meant to do this.” I apologized as I fluttered my eyes in nervousness.“You’re apologizing for what?” Brad asked, out of curiosity, also looking at me like he was really baffled.“I… I’m talking about the kiss. It wasn’t meant to be, and I wasn’t supposed to keep going.” “Look, it’s fine. I really love that, and I feel it wasn’t wrong.” Brad said, trying to convince me.He moved closer to me, and held my chin lightly, then looked into my eyes, lovingly.“It doesn’t matter. I wasn’t supposed to.”“Why do you think so, Scarlet?” Brad asked, looking like he was trying to get the answers from my eyes.“It isn’t right, Brad. What isn’t right, isn’t.” I said, then turned to leave, but Brad held me back.“Alright, I understand. That could have been jumpy, but I’m willing to take everything slowly, and gradually, as much as you want. Just don’t leave.” Brad said, in a soft tone.I melted, and it felt as if I shrank, and my heart melted. Looking into Br
SCARLET’S POVThe way Carla had said it, made me feel somehow. I hadn’t thought too far on it, and even when Carla told me to be careful, I really didn’t want to be careful. I wanted to be carefree for once, and believe that Brad was truly sorry and that he wanted to make it up to me. I wanted to feel that love for once, at least.“Alright, ma’am. Did you have lunch?” I asked Carla to quickly change the topic.“Well, I can’t really say that was lunch, but I really don’t mind if you want to sponsor my lunch.” Carla chuckled, and looked sideways, because she knew I didn’t mean for it to go that far.I chuckled, and slammed my hand on my face,“You really are something else, Carla. Alright, lunch is on me.” I yielded to her.“Good. And it’s not just going to end with having lunch. We got to have fun after that, and there is every possibility that we’ll be coming back at night.” Carla squealed in excitement.Carla was a great vibe, and I was glad to have her as my friend, especially in t
SCARLET’S POVIt was difficult to know who these girls were as they had their faces covered up with masks. Carla and I, held hands, with anxiety, knocking at the door of our hearts.They closed in on us, although, there was still a considerable space between them and us. “Who are you and what do you want from us?” I questioned outrightly, still holding Carla, tight.“You really don’t need to know us. But we’ll tell you what we want.” The lady who seemed to be the leader, spoke.“And what do you want?” I asked, with a shaky voice.“I want you dead. And if your friends love you that much, she can follow you to the afterlife.” The lady replied as her claws came out smoothly.She was a wolf, and her scent was a bit familiar. In fact, their scent was familiar, but I couldn’t make out who they were exactly. “Why would you want me dead?” I managed to make my voice loud and clear.“Because you deserve to die. A murderer like you is a terror that needs to die down. Girls, are you ready?” The
ELIAS' POV.I sat in the living room looking around as I had nothing to do, and my eyes fell on the flowers Scarlet had received. Who had sent them? Did that mean there was someone else who liked Scarlet? Was there someone looking to propose to her? Because the only reason a girl would receive flowers from an unknown person was when the person was trying to make himself known as a lover and for some reason, the thought did not sit well with me. Shortly, Scarlet returned with a cup of hot, brimming coffee."Here." She said, handing the cup to me."Thanks." I replied and watched her sit next to me exhaling loudly. "Is anything bothering you?" I asked as I put the cup to my lips. "Hey, hey, it's hot. Careful there." She said, extending out her hands like she wanted to grab the cup from me. I chuckled. "Of course I do know it's hot and I'm being careful. I really would have preferred something warm though. It's scalding hot." I told her, finally managing to take a quick sip of the cof
