Promises were meant to be broken

Scarlet's POV:

"What did you say, Harriet?" I voiced, sitting up on my bed.

"That... that there is a rumor, my lady. About... about a girl... that the king brought to the pack." Harriet stammered, kneeling down before me.

Standing up, I asked, "The king brought a girl to the pack?"

"Yes, my lady."

"And where is this girl?"

"She's at the underground room."

I walked around my room slowly, taking in the information my personal help had just passed to me.

The king isn't one to just bring any woman to the palace, if he did that... then it means she's important to him. The question now, is.. how important is this woman to him?

I can't have anyone lady been so important to him.

"And what those these rumors say about who she might be to the king?"

"That she might be his Luna." Harriet replied, staring down at her feet. What? Luna??

No one owns that position, except me. I am to be his next Luna, and no one else.

"Take me to her." I instructed, already walking out the door of my chamber.

"What, the king specifically ordered that no one should go there." Harriet voiced, running after me.

"Well... my dear Harriet, I am not no one. And what? Is not like he would kill me." I responded, walking even faster.

"Of course not, but he would kill me." She cried out.

I halted, and turned around to stare at her.

"Oh my goodness, thank you my lady. Now please let's head back before anyone sees us." She passed across hastily, beckoning on me with her hand.

"I stopped because I do not know what turn I should take next. Harriet, you have to be in front of me."

"What?" She let out, surprised.

"Come on, lead the way." I gave her a slight nudge on the shoulder.

"Yes, my lady." She shook her head sideways, "I celebrated to quick."

Harriet walked in front of me, leading me to the unknown girl's room.

We passed through a long hallway, then a flight of stairs leading to the underground. Harriet finally stopped in-front of a door, then turned to me, "This is her room, my lady."

Without wasting time, I barged into the room opening the door wide. "So-" The words I was meant to say after that, got caught up in my mouth. Why?

I was caught off guard by her beauty. Who in the world has white hair, and her eyes... blue, ocean blue. She had all the right curves in the right place, and overall... she looked like a goddess.

"Don't tell me you are smitten by her beauty, because I am too." Harriet whispered to me.

"Who are you? And why are you in my room?" The unknown lady asked, her eyes staring at me intently. I felt intimidated.

What? This is supposed to be the other way. I am supposed to be intimidating her!

"Scarlet, King Wilder's fiancée. Soon to be Luna of Nightshade pack." I answered, making sure I stood tall and appeared confident.

The lady folded her hands below her boobs, her eyes taking in my entire length as she walked over to me in slow, threatening steps. "So?" She asked, having a calm demeanor.

"What? So??" I let out, surprised by her nonchalant attitude. "How dare you—"

"LISTEN HERE!" She yelled in my face, cutting me off. "I don't care who you are to Wilder Reagan. But you see, I plan to have sex with him in the nearest future. And you are not coming in-between that."

Sex? What in the world is she saying?

"You... you.. want to have sex, with my fiancée??" I stuttered still unable the words she was sprouting out of her mouth.

"Yes. And that is why you can't be his fiancée." She responded simply.

"How dare you!" I yelled, raising up my hand ready to slap her, but she was quick to hold my hand.

I staggered back ward, gasping in shock as her head lit up in blue fire. She walked to me in slow steps, and I move backwards even more, then I tripped and fell to the ground.

"My lady." Harriet called out, trying to help me to my feet.

"Step away from her!" The lady ordered in a loud voice, her hands lighting up in blue flames, just like her head. Harriet moved away in fear.

The lady lowered herself before me, her burning face right in front of mine. She tutted, "tell me, what should I do with you?"

"What?" I let out, my chest heaving up and down in a fast rhythm.

"You see Scarlet..." She drawled, caressing my hair softly. I stared at her with rapt attention, shocked that her blue fire wasn't burning my hair. "I do not like to share what is mine. And Wilder Reagan, is mine."

"Let's go, my lady." Harriet said hurriedly, raising me up with her hands and together we ran out of the room.

"That girl is sick! She's sick!" I shrieked, as we walked up the stairs.

"She's sick and frightful." Harriet agreed, walking hastily behind me.

What? Wilder Reagan is hers? Who the hell made it so.

"I need you to get me informations, on her. I need every single information you get, Harriet, leave nothing out." I instructed, and she nodded, "Yes my lady."

"I will go see the king, so be on your way." I informed her.

"Of course— what! You want to see the king??" She questioned, halting in shock.

"Yes, I need to know my position is not be threatened by some unknown girl." I responded, already walking in the direction of the throne room.

"Uhm... I don't really think—"

"Then don't think, Harriet. Just do what I had instructed you to do."

She stared at me in an unsure manner, then bowed and said. "Yes my lady,"

She walked in the opposite direction, while I continued my journey to the throne room.

"What do you want, Scarlet?" King Wilder asked, staring down at me from his throne with those lifeless eyes of his.

Why won't he just give in to the wolves inside of him, and die.

"Who is she?" I asked, standing at a distance from his throne. For years, I have acted like I wasn't afraid of him, but I do. I fear Wilder Reagan.

And for years, I thought I was the only one who could stand in his presence but I was wrong, there's an unknown girl who is somehow in love with him,

I thought I had no competitor, why? Because King Wilder is nothing but a monster.

"There's a lot of she's in my palace. You do not somehow think that I know all of them?" He voiced, sitting up straight on his throne. "Be specific, Scarlet. I have somewhere to be at."

"The one I presume you are about to go meet. The girl under—"

I gasped in shock, stumbling backwards in fright. Wilder had super sped to where I stood, shocking the daylight out of me.

"The girl underground is none of your business, Scarlet." He let out in a low growl.

Calming my nerves down, I stared at him in the eye... my fingers holding onto the both side of my dress. "It is my business, if she claims the man I am to marry, belongs to her."

"She said that?" He asked chuckling.

What? Did he just laugh??

"Yes." I answered, staring at him fiercely. Although, I knew he could see through my facade.

"Hmm. Well... it is still none of your business, Scarlet. If you don't want to get killed, then I advise you to stop being curious." He stared at me intently, "and believe me, this time around... I won't be the one doing the killing." He cackled softly, then walked past me heading for the doors.

"YOU SAID I WOULD BE YOUR LUNA!" I shouted at the top of my voice, my chest heaving. He turned around, and I whispered... "you promised."

He grinned. "I guess, promises are meant to be broken." With that said, he left.

What? Promises are meant to be broken??
