ELIAS' POV.In my arms, I carried the passed out Scarlet with a heavy heart myself. I had lost the will to run. What I had seen in the cabin had struck my heart to the very depths. An arrow of sorrow pierced my heart and it seemed like my heart was swelling and getting bigger with each step I took, ready to explode.What was even more sad and depressing was the pain that Scarlet had to go through when she awoke and asked about her mum. I feared she'd never be the same, I felt the pain and loneliness would eat deep into her heart. I felt the pain for Scarlet and there was nothing I could do about it. I trudged back through the forest lifelessly, making my way slowly and steadily to the Palace as my own tears fell without my permission. I wasn't one to cry easily but my heart burned deeply and I couldn't help it.Finally, I got to the Palace and the guards all stared at me in shock as I brought back Scarlet in my arms. I got to the great hall, and everyone was present. The elders, the
In her heart, Valerie knew she was doomed. Being a prisoner for the Lycans was nothing she ever wished for. Had she made a mistake? All she had ever wanted was to show Scarlet the grand mistake she had made by messing with her and trying to take what was hers. Why was it ending in her misery? Everything had gone as planned. Why did Elias have to ruin it? She'd have killed scarlet and her mother and trouble would have been far from her as no one would know what had truly happened.Seeing her mother on her knees was the worst. She wanted to snap at her mother and ask why she was kneeling but she couldn't do so. Her hands were tied with invisible cords.If only she had known, she'd have just poisoned scarlet. She'd have just let her die the easier way. At least she'd be dead. Inside her, Valerie felt anger, but there was nothing she could do. But still, would they just let them take her away like that? Just like that?Valerie's mother on the other hand was already in tears, on her knees
SCARLET'S POV."That's a god damned lie! What are you telling me!? Listen to me, Carla! I do not play jokes with my mother. If I find out that this is some kind of stupid, horrible, and not funny joke, I will never be friends with you again." I threatened as I sat up from the bed, the weakness suddenly leaving my body. Why would Carla play such a prank on me when I was in such a state where I'd easily believe whatever they said happened?Carla's tears fell as fast as the rain and I began to breathe heavier than before."Carla. Tell me. Tell me…." I told her with a soft voice as paid threatened to rack all the insides of my body. Already it seemed like a dead weight had been dropped inside of my belly and I needed, and I needed her to retract her words to feel better.Wait a second, why were my fears falling? Why was my heart squeezing? It was just a prank so why in the world was Elias crying? Why was Carla crying?"Ah!" I exclaimed as I held my chest which felt like it had been crush
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
