Valerie’s body was sent back to the Alpha after Scarlet killed her, and when the Alpha saw her body, he was pained. He knew how pained Brad was going to be, and talk more of her parents.It felt as If his ego was bruised, and he didn’t think he was going to let this slide. Valerie’s parents were summoned, and when they saw their daughter’s dead body on the floor in the palace, a heavy hole was drilled into their hearts.“No! Valerie! No! It can’t be!” Her mother screamed out in pain, and rushed towards her, holding her body to her chest.Valerie’s father watched with a broken heart. He didn’t know how to react, and also didn’t know how else to pacify his wife.This was a death which could not be easily forgotten or let go easily. It was a pain in their heart which they knew deep within them that they would never forget.“No, it can’t be. Please wake her up. My Valerie can’t be dead. You can’t do this to me, please. Please don’t do this to me.” Valerie’s mother cried so hard and all th
SCARLET’S POVTears strolled down my eyes as my sister and I, bury our mother along with the support of both Carla and Elias.I couldn’t help bit feel really sad, and I didn’t know how to feel again. Despite having Valerie killed, I still couldn’t feel pacified. My heart ached for my mother. How would I continue without her? Who would ever learn to love me like she did? All I wanted was my mother, and obviously, she couldn’t come back to life. She was long gone and I hoped that wherever she was, she was happy, and feeling much better than the way she felt when she was burning.The fire scene kept replaying in my head, and tears filled my eyes up, making me feel weak.“Mother, why?” I cried out as I fell to my knees. "Why did things have to end this way? Why did you leave us?"I didn’t have strength to do anything, talk less of just standing. I felt heartache, throbbing in my heart, and I knew within me that this wasn’t something I could easily forget or every get over with.The cerem
ELIAS’ POVI was willing to spend the night with Scarlet, and even as much as the pain was digging into her heart, I wished that my presence was going to soothe her more than she could ever imagine.I followed her into her bedroom, and then she pointed to her bathroom as she sniffled.“You might need to take a shower. You have had a long day because of me.” She said, without making eye contact with me.“Thanks.” I appreciated her, then walked into her bathroom.Anyone who entered her bathroom could imagine the kind of girl she was, and I must say, I was happy to be her mate, and I would do anything to have her all to myself.She deserved every true love this world had to offer, and even as her mother had left the earth, I believe the love her mother has for her would work in her favor.I pulled off my clothes, and turned on the shower. The water sprouted all over my body, and relieved every part of my bones that felt tense. The way the water went deep into my hair relaxed me.If only S
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
