Scarlet: Black Shadow Novels & Stories

When she realized I was awake, she looked at me coldly and hissed, saying, "Sienna, this scene should feel familiar to you." I stared at the platform that was identical to my previous life, and the excruciating pain of being smashed to pieces flooded through my body again. I swallowed nervously in terror. I shouted, "You really are insane!" "I'm not insane! I'm just fighting for my happiness! What did I do wrong?" she yelled hysterically, blaming me as if I were guilty. "God gave us two chances at rebirth. In this life, if you had just stayed loyal to me, Connor would've followed the script and pursued me. Why did you betray me?"

A smile made its way onto my face as I thought about my few hours at the house. “Everything and everyone is amazing. Thank you so much Alpha Jamie! Words cannot begin to describe how grateful I am that you welcomed me into your pack.” I told him sincerely but he dismissed it immediately. “I am glad that you accepted my invitation. You are a very strong wolf Allison. I have been doing some research about black wolves and I have come up with some information that may shed some light. One of my books here says that every Century a black wolf is born, the wolf is known as the Shadow Wolf since it is pure black. The Shadow wolf possesses certain abilities and gifts bestowed upon by the Moon Godde

It’s just that he didn’t know how. He could not move any more. He tried so hard but he just couldn’t move as if he was a frozen statue. His eyes were completely fixated on him. He gradually saw that in the place where Mark stood, there was now a large black wolf with black fur and crimson eyes, gleaming under the light. Blake stared in wonder at the large wolf who was making continuous efforts to walk forward but tripped on its own paws and fell back on the floor. The wolf fell once again when he was attempting to get up. Blake staggered forward reaching the large wolf and kneeled near its form and put his trembling hand towards the wolf's fur.

I took a deep breath and knocked on Matteo's office door. "Alpha Matteo, Alpha Noah Steele from the Shadowridge Pack is already waiting in the conference room." Only then did Matteo reluctantly release Sabrina. Just as he was about to get up, she pulled him back into her arms. "Do you really have to go to this meeting? I'll be so lonely without you." Sabrina pouted as she blinked her eyes pitifully. Her expression was so sweet it could melt anyone's heart. Matteo replied, "Of course not. Business meetings aren't as important as my precious girl."

Scarlet, on the other hand, was impressed to see a woman in the team. She wondered what had taken Leonardo so long to introduce her. Now, at least, she had someone like her in the cartel. "No need for much introduction, I suppose," Leonardo started. "This is Scarlet Blackwood. She will now be a contributing factor to this organization." A murmur rippled across the room. Leonardo exhaled, watching them closely. The murmurs ceased immediately.

"Oh, my dear Scarlett, you've grown stronger, but you have no idea of the forces that await. The darkness that will consume everything you hold dear." As if on cue, the shadows around them shifted, revealing menacing figures lurking in the darkness. Scarlett's eyes widened as she recognized them as creatures she had only heard of in ancient tales - the Harbingers of Chaos. Gabriel tightened his grip on his staff, a determined look on his face. "We won't let you harm her. We won't let you destroy the world." Raven's smile widened, her gaze shifting between Scarlett and Gabriel. "You're both so adorable. But you're no match for the power that lies in wait. The time for games is over."

SCAR'S POV. Red. Then it's black. Who am I? Who am I? What am I? Kill. Kill her. No....stop it stop talking to me. Moonlight? Where are you? It's like loosing control. The darkness slowly evolving. No... stop. Stop it. Who are you Scarlet...? Control. Everything. Control. Scarlet is Scarlet. (Authors mid-note: it's kinda confusing I know. Bit that's the whole deal. To be confused ;) )

And she was also being blackmailed, so her sister being mad at her was nothing to her. "Yeah, I heard her too. But I’m not getting in. She’s useless as hell and I will not forgive hr for this,” Scarlet said as she stumbled. She was so close to being blackout drunk and that would force Rodrigo to carry her and the woman looked like the rebellious type. The beta was left at cross roads, because on one end was the angry Luna who looked ready to bash her sister's face in, and on the other was Scarlet, who didn’t give two shits anymore.

“Kill them.” The cavern erupted into chaos, a brutal dance of claws and blood. Lila and Tara fought like a storm, their movements a blur as they took on the Black Shadow wolves. Lila’s dagger flashed, her golden braid swinging as she gutted a wolf, blood spraying across the stone. Tara shifted into her wolf form, her red fur a streak of fire as she tore into a throat, her snarls echoing through the cavern. But the Black Shadow wolves were relentless, their numbers pressing in, their claws raking through flesh.

I opened my mouth to scream, but a gloved hand instantly clamped down over my lower face, smothering the sound completely. Victor stepped out of the darkness right in front of me. He was completely silent, his breath steady, his dark eyes glittering with cold amusement in the dim moonlight. He leaned down until his lips were just inches from my ear. He slowly brought his free hand up, pressing his silver-ringed index finger against his own lips in a slow, chilling gesture of silence. "Some secrets are killed for, Sarah..." Victor whispered, his voice an icy, terrifying breath against my skin. "...and some families disappear overnight for asking too many questions."
