Beneath A Scarlet Sky Reviews Novels & Stories

she finally gave in and did a shirt now at the end. Then Nathan dismissed the guards who had come to us. There was no need for them anymore. "Let's go get cleaned up, don't you think?" Nathan asked me. I nodded in response and was about to move when thunder scattered across the sky. This got all our attention and we shot our heads up to the clouds. That was when we saw the heavens begin to darken into a deep red that provoked the insides of my body. My wolf started churning and turning just at the sight of the red sky.

I forced myself not to believe his statement, but it didn't sound like a lie. His statement sounds real to the ears. Scarlett scuffed, as she scolded Blade for telling me the truth. She scolds me also...But then she had an attack. She seems to be struggling for breath. Yeah! Scarlett is a phoenix so it's surprising to see that she's battling with her life. I raise her up from the floor with my hands shaking. To my greatest surprise, Scarlett's blood stained my entire hand. The blade had declared that she is pregnant and she planned on telling me when we get back to the human world.

Scarlet smirked. She was gonna kill her, that's for sure! **************** ***************** The ride back to the city was anything but eventful as Scarlet seemed to sigh for the nth time since she got on the car, luckily they weren't taking the stupid train this time around, her shoulders tensed as she stared out the window, watching the slow and light raindrops on the car glass. She sighed again. "Is there something wrong, Luna Scarlet?"

"No. Possibly an original. Or... something new." The implications twisted her stomach. **** Fortress Arakiel – Perimeter Breach The night fell fast as the team approached the fortress. The towering structure was built into the side of the mountain, camouflaged by stone and shadow. Infrared showed automated sentries at each corner. Thermal scans revealed at least twenty armed guards. Rosa slipped into position with silent grace while Grayson took the ridge, providing overwatch as Elena led the breach team alongside Logan. "On my mark," she said, voice calm despite the chaos within her.

She looked at my dad and asked, "Connor, if you could go back in time, would you still marry me?" My dad turned to meet her gaze, but he said nothing. My mom finally shed tears of anguish. I sighed and said, "Mom, a true leading lady will never be obsessed with love. Even without a man, she can live an incredible life." For the first time, my mom did not argue with me. Then, she noticed the scars on my exposed arms. As if remembering something, she pursed her lips and asked, "Sienna, do the scars on your arms still hurt?"

But he’s not pulling away either. Leonid walks slower. And slower. His little shoulders dropping by degrees like air leaking out of something that can’t be patched. I watch it happen and feel that familiar burn climbing up the back of my throat. Hot and acidic and completely useless. Then he spots it. The rollercoaster. Old steel and rust and glory, loops twisting against the night sky like a dare. The kind of ride that probably hasn’t passed a safety inspection since 2003 and looks absolutely fucking perfect. Leonid’s whole face changes.

She asked curiously but something doesn't add up. I mean I have asked him about the scars and he insinuated that it was BDSM gone wrong and honestly I didn't think much of it because that was when we just lost our parents and he was a little rebellious at that point but I still think she got the wrong guy... I mean now I understand why she fled immediately she saw him shirtless but anyone could have a similar scar, right?

Dex and Elian regarded the newcomers coldly. Especially their leader, who was a tall, broad-shouldered man with a thick ginger beard and fiery red hair tied back in a knot. A nasty scar ran through his left eyebrow, giving him a permanently pissed-off look. Dex’s hand hovered near his holster, and Elian’s finger was already itching on the trigger. He was still hoping to get more kills anyways. “You took something that belongs to us. Where is it?” The leader asked, his deep and loud voice ringing through the warehouse.

Looking up, I regretted thanking so soon. “Sorry,” Scarlet forced. “Didn't see you there,” she folded her arms on her chest. “I mean why would I even? There is nothing to see in you anyway,” see, this is why my guts were not trusting her. “I don't even know why he chose you. You don't deserve him! He deserves someone like me! Strong, bold and beautiful! You don't even have a freaking wolf, you filthy rat,” she spat. I decided not to give her a reaction. Giving one would make her feel like she is winning. And I won't let her this time.

However, before she could complete her words, the earlier clear sky from the full-length window beside them roared with thunder, and the sky darkened even further. Scarlet's lips tightened. "It wants to rain." She whispered, feeling stressed. Cyn also looked at the sky and nodded. "Let's wait for a while then..." His tone was more like he was asking Scarlet. Scarlet knew they had no choice. So, she nodded. "Okay." But Fateball was already dancing around. "Time to rake up affection~~~ lala lala~" Blush crept to Scarlet's cheeks.
