Novelas y relatos de Scarlett Caraval

I tried to shake it off, telling myself I was just nervous. We stepped into the living room, and the first thing that hit me was laughter. A woman’s soft giggle, followed by a man’s deeper tone. My stomach dropped. “Miriam?” Anita called out. Miriam appeared from the hallway, smiling brightly. And then I saw the man she was with. The man beside her had his arm around her waist, his thumb tracing lazy circles on her skin. My blood ran cold. That scent, that voice, that same black jacket—

Only the echo of a laugh, faint, cruel, carried on the wind. Caspian’s laugh. Kael froze, blood dripping from his sword. The mocking sound faded, leaving only the rustle of trees. He clenched his jaw so tightly it ached. “Enjoy your games, Blackthorn. But when I find you…” His voice dropped to a growl. “…there will be no laughter left in you.” The flames flickered across his face, painting him every bit the Scarlet Prince. And the hunt for Serenya had truly begun.

“Stacey, we need to go.” “Are you kidding?” she whispered, clutching my arm. “I need a moment to process what just happened. He was even hotter than I imagined, and that woman with him? Who is she, Tarini? And why do you get all the luck? First, you’re on a date with Mr Dr Good-on-Paper Aryan, and then Professor Valerian himself swoops in to save you?” Well her madness is the result of the woman with Valerian. “It’s not luck,” I muttered, trying to brush off her questions. “And he’s just…our professor. I need that recommendation, Stacey. This isn’t a romantic comedy.”

Victor Delacroix had made a mistake thinking he could crush her. And I had every intention of using his mistake against him. “Do you need more time?” I asked, my voice, measured. I already knew the answer. Scarlett exhaled slowly, lifting her gaze to meet mine. There was no fear there anymore. Only determination. She took out a pen from her purse, pressed it to the paper, and with one stroke of ink, she sealed her fate. “Good choice,” I murmured, taking the contract from her and sliding it into my briefcase.

He peeped through my shield and questioned him hesitantly. “Who are you? Do we know anything about you?” Carver raised his head and gestured to me for a formal introduction. I squinted my eyes and calmed my little angels. “He is Uncle Carver, my friend. I work for him.” Scarlett was excited in a heartbeat; she came out of hiding and asked. “Are you my mommy’s boss? Did you give her a promotion?” Carver nodded in response; it delighted her. She stretched her hand for a handshake.

On the contrary, if he gains the code from her now, he will reign the world like a king. Even when Carl asked her several times, she was clueless about any such code. When they were in a relationship Scarlet truly loved him. And if there was anything Carl had to know, he strongly believed, she would have confessed already. Scarlet was hardly six when her parents died. Even if her father gave her the code, she would have forgotten by now.

I mock him directly. The colour of his eyes darken and lips press into a thin line. “You will not leave this party till the end. It an order from your boss.” He says with authority. “Go to hell, Mathew so will your wh*re. We’re leaving at this instance.” Scarlett yells on him and vigorously rubs off her tears, her mascara smudged and spread on face. She grabs my hand and tries to drag us out of his office and I don’t object. I need to figure out everything. First I have to find Carla, if the news is true then she has to pay for her treachery.

"Scarlett." ******

She blushes afterward and walks in the direction I pointed to. Danis grins and winks at me. “No invitation for me?” I grace him with a glare and he chuckles before walking towards the bench smirking. Scarlett is… disappointed. She groans in frustration and curses under her breath. “So I did all those weird things to save that man from his curse and he’s leaving? Just like that?” When Danis smirks his eyes gleam and instinct has me stepping out of the way. Priam barrels past me with the speed of a tornado and in the flick of an eye, he has a hand around Danis’s neck. His words come out in a growl.

"I must get moving. If everyone knows, then it won’t be long before he knows.." I feel the wave of fear and guilt that comes off of Scarlet. I know from her memories that her wolf Ruth and vampire Cara had been working together to stop her from being impregnated by the vampire that seduced and then kidnapped her. The suppression of Ruth made it harder for Cara to continue to prevent the impregnation of his seed.
