Scarlett
I woke up to a slow beeping sound. I blinked thrice before opening my eyes, adjusting to the blinding bright lights." Ummm," I moaned uncomfortably in pain as I tried to move." aah, my head," I mumbled to myself, my voice coming out hoarse." I see you are awake," a soft feminine voice said, making me gasp.My eyes snapped in the direction of the door from where that voice came.I saw a beautiful girl with red hair. She looked like a model in her mid-twenties. She looked at me and smiled, before looking down at the board that she was holding." Ummm," I groaned in pain when I tried to get up." don't. You will hurt yourself," the girl said, walking towards me.I looked around to observe my surroundings when my gaze fell on the machinery that was attached to my body. The pain in my left hand was so intense that it became cold." Where am I?" I asked in my hoarse voice. I tried to remember but I felt like my mind was in some kind of fog.My throat felt dry and rough from not talking for too long. She looked at me and then walked to the side table of the bed where I saw there was a jug of water placed on top of it. She poured me a glass of water and placed it on the table." Come," she said and began to help me sit up on the bed. Once I was comfortable with my sitting position, she handed me a glass of water. I took the glass from her before gulping the water in one go. I felt relieved after drinking the liquid." Thank you," I said to her." I am Maria," she said, as she sat on the bed." I am Scarlett," I said to her." Why am I here?" I asked her. She looked at me with pity. She looked like a nice person, but I didn't like the look she was having on her face." And where is my father?" I asked her again before I looked at my shoulder, which was wrapped in a white gauge and blood was evident on it.Then the realisation hit me like a truck. All the memories of that night came back floating. My eyes went wide when I remembered how that wolf bit me. It felt like I could still feel his mouth on my shoulder. My breathing became heavy and the sound of the machine that was attached to my body was now beeping loudly. But all I could think and hear was the growl of that beast." sshh," Maria said." It's okay. You are here and safe now. You are here with us," she tried to calm me down and it worked when she moved closer to me and rubbed my back soothingly." That… that wolf," I said shuttering." That wolf is gone now. Our pack members found you in the forest and they took you here," she said in one breath. I nodded my head before narrowing my eyes at her, what is the pack?" What is the pack?" I asked her. Hearing my words, she stiffened." It's like a community," she replied. My mouth formed an 'o'. I should have known when she said that they had found me in the forest. No person from the city would roam around in the jungle in the middle of the night.Then I remember my father. The look he gave me one last time before that man dragged him away." I need to go," I said, and began to detach the machine from my body."You can't," she said, making me a little angry." Look, Maria. You are a nice girl but I need to see my father," I said to her, holding her hand, hoping she would understand." But you can't go anywhere in this state," she said, her voice laced with concern." Thank you for what you did. But I need to know if my father is alive or not," I said." Tell me about him and maybe I could help you find him," she said.I sat still before I started to tell her what had happened before I met with the nightmare that will haunt me forever. She sat there listening to my story calmly until the wolves arrived and she visibly stiffened." This is what happened," I said with a sigh. I took a long shaky breath before I looked at her. Her eyes showed concern and guilt which I didn't understand why."How about I ask our… people to search for your father and when they find him I will let you know," she offered." but…." I trailed off." not buts. You will be safe here and I promise you we will find your father," she said, making me feel relaxed." I know what you are doing for me is a lot, but if you ever need my help, feel free to ask. I will definitely try to do my best," I said genuinely. She was the first and only person who offered to help me." All I need right is you to rest and leave everything to…. She stopped what she was saying and went still." Are you okay?" I asked, shaking her arm." huh? Oh yeah," she said, clearing her throat.I was going to ask her how long I need to stay here and where exactly this place is. But all my words died down in my throat when the door of the room swung open and the most handsome man walked in.He has the most handsome face I have seen in my entire life. He looked at least 6 feet tall, tanned skin with broad shoulders and a wall of pure muscles. His hair looked messy like he had run his fingers through his hair a lot before coming here. He placed his hands on his hips, making his biceps bulge in the white shirt he was wearing. It looked like the shirt was going to rip on its own. I would have drooled by now if he wasn't looking at me with those striking ocean-blue eyes and I didn't have to find my father.LukeHunter gave me control back all of a sudden. Taking the opportunity, I made sure he didn't bother me or anyone else. I have to tell Eric, one of our elders, about hunters, and why he is acting this way all of a sudden. He was never impatient with anything, but this time he crossed all the limits. I looked down at the girl in my arms and somehow felt content, but as soon as my gaze fell on her shoulder my heart clenched." Faster!" I growled out to whoever was driving the car. She won't be able to heal herself like us. And her bleeding isn't stopping as well." Umm," she moaned softly, making me look at her angelic face. Her face was now pale and contorted in pain." Alpha," Alex said from the front seat." We are here," as soon as the words left his mouth, one of our men came and opened the door. I got out of the car and, without wasting any time, I stormed right inside my packed house.I saw my family members waiting for me in the living room. I didn't have any doubt that the ne
Luke" Dude, you need to clean up before you go up there," Alex said through the mind link.I stopped in my tracks in the hallway and looked down at myself. I forgot that I was drenched in her blood. I changed my route to my library where there was a bathroom there and went in. I made my way toward the bathroom and stepped in." Bring my clothes to the library," I said to Alex through the mind link as I stood under the shower and switched it on.I closed my eyes as I let the cold water calm my nerves. As soon as my eyes closed, I saw her innocent face flash before my eyes, which made me snap my eyes open. I sighed and my eyes fell on the ground where the water became red, reminding me of the unconscious girl lying on my bed.I hurriedly started to scrub my body to wash off the dried blood." Alpha!" Maria's voice came through the link." Yes," I replied." The girl woke up!" She said carefully and went silent, making my body stiff.I felt like my mind was in Chaos as I didn't know whe
LukeAfter Maria left the room reluctantly, I looked at Scarlett who was now sleeping peacefully while her head was resting on my chest. From her face, she looked content and at ease.I sighed, closing my eyes as I was thinking of a way to let them meet. Hunter growled at me suddenly at my thoughts." Don't make this difficult for me," I said to him. He didn't reply to me and went silent.I looked at her again as I possessively wrapped my arm around her shoulder. I don't why I am feeling like she belongs to me." To us," Hunter growled, this time it sounded possessive and angry. I didn't respond to him.I placed Scarlett gently on the bed making sure not to wake her up, I placed a pillow under her head and she stirred a bit before going back to sleep again. I need her to be fully recovered before I search for my answers." Alpha, you need to see this," Alex said through the mind link." I will be there," I said to him.I got up from the bed and walked towards the door. I stopped at th
ScarlettI woke and stirred on the soft mattress I was lying on feeling fresh after a long time. I opened my eyes and looked around the room. The room was empty and the light was dimmed.Then I remembered that I was talking to the Greek god before I fell asleep, a blush made its way to my cheek as I bit my lower lips in embarrassment. I had never talked to any boy in my 17 years of life like this.I looked around the room for the first time since I woke up. The room was luxurious enough to make anyone know that whoever was the owner, he must be super rich.I looked at the machinery that was attached to my body earlier and was nowhere to be seen.I started to get up from bed and walked towards the door dragging my sore body. I hope I can find someone who can help me find alpha. I need to talk to him. I can't stay here for a long time knowing that my father isn't safe.I swung the door open and peeked outside. I found the hallway was empty. I decided to go anyway, thinking I would find
ScarlettSo many things were playing endlessly in my head as I saw his retreating figure until he vanished completely." Scarlett?" I was pulled out of my chain of thoughts as my father called my name and shook me by my arm." Huh?"" We need to get away from here," he said to me, looking at my eyes." Why?" I asked him in confusion." Why? Why? You are asking me why? Can't you see?" He said in a serious tone. I looked at him in confusion. Why is he acting this way when Luke is the one that saved me and him?" I don't understand," I said, looking at him." He is the reason why we are stuck here and he is the person that wants to kill me," he said through gritted teeth." What?" I said in disbelief. I stared at my father blankly as his words rang in my ears." How?" I breathed out. Unable to believe what my father said. How could he act so innocently? That is the reason why he said he would help me to find my father." Scarlett," my father called my name, taking me out of my thoughts a

Scarlett" Ummm," I groaned in a throbbing pain in my shoulder. I felt like someone had ripped my arm from its sockets ." You are awake," I heard Maria say while looking at her tablet." Don't try to sit up yet, I need to know you are functioning well before you do that," she said, looking at me with a warm smile and concern full of eyes. I nodded and laid on the bed. She turned around to grab something from the table. I averted my gaze and looked at the ceiling. All the events flashed before my eyes, making me inhale a sharp intake of breath.The last thing I remember was I heard the conversation of the man that I called father all these years. I closed my eyes to calm myself down." Where is he?" I asked in a whisper." Huh?" Maria turned around to look at me." I wasn't there when those stupid things happened. I am sorry for what you have been through," she said, with sadness and concern." Where is he?" I repeated again." When we reached the pack house your father had already le
ScarlettSoon we are out of the house, or should I say mansion. I kept quiet, and didn't want to provoke him any further. After sometime, I felt the atmosphere change suddenly, making me look up to see the black orbs from earlier were now changed into the beautiful blue ones. I gulped in fear, as nervousness washed over me. How will I ever escape him? What is he? How can he change the colour of his eyes? My mind was spinning from all the unanswered questions. I was pulled out of my thoughts when he spoke." They are not going to hurt you," he said, walking into the forest." But you will," I murmured in a low voice." Never ever say that again," he said through clenched teeth without sparing me a glance. I gulped at the threat behind his words and stayed quiet. He didn't say another word .I watched as we passed through the rows and rows of trees standing tall in all their glory. I found these trees are as mysterious as the man that is carrying me in his arms." I hope you are ready b
