Scarlett Davis had her life all beautifully planned out until the day she saw her boyfriend of ten years kissing another girl. Heartbroken, she dashed off. One thing led to another and she ended up having a one night stand with a fine stranger she later found out to be the infamous puppet Lycan Alpha.
View MoreSCARLETT My eyes opened to calmness. I felt my face glued to a hard object. Feeling the familiar strong arms in a very familiar position wrapped around me quickly brought me to awareness. Delightful shivers ran down my spine in one breath. I blinked and went still. As I attempted to move my legs, I felt a sharp ache around my thighs. As much as the memories thrilled me, I dreaded facing Asher right that moment. The embarrassment of how I moaned and arched and clutched onto him…To think it was I that initiated the second and third round. My face creased with embarrassment. I couldn't let him wake up and meet me there. I chewed my lower lips as I scanned around for my dress. I found it hanging on a temporary hanger beside the main wardrobe. Slowly I detached from his chest and started to crawl out of the bed. “Trying to sneak away again?”Startled, I froze. He pulled me back to his chest. Pushed strands of my hair away and kissed my forehead. “Why do you always sneak away?”
SCARLETT “Do you…” I tried again. But the words stuck to the roof of my mouth. My heart was pounding so fast I feared he would hear. He gently took my hand. “Let's go inside. We will talk about everything.”Like an obedient child, I followed him. He led me into an almost large room I presumed to be the living room but with only two couches facing each other right in the center of the room. “Come with me,” he said as he took me to the washroom and asked one of the maids to bring me a change of clothes while I dried myself up. Dried and clothed, I stepped out of the washroom. He pointed to one of the two couches. “Sit here. Tea or coffee or any drink?”“Tea.”I expected he would send one of the servants but he went instead. I noticed the maids weren't particularly happy to see me close to him.He returned a few moments later with the tea. “Thank you,” I mumbled as I took the cup. “Call me Asher,” he said and took the other couch across. He seemed so comfortable with me that it
SCARLETTIt was the hardest and heaviest I had witnessed rain fall ever since I arrived Howling Moon. The sky rumbled with thunder and flashed with lightning.It started from midnoon and had been heavily falling nonstop. It was already getting deep into the evening and dusk neared yet it continued to pour. Some of the girls said it was the goddess raining down her anger on the Lycans for their sins. Especially the elders and the wealthy ones that looked down on others. Some wished thunder struck the elders and those that hurt them down. And then while everyone wished for the rain to continue to pour, I hoped secretly for the rain to cease. I sat on one corner of the bed leaning against the wall thinking of nothing else but Asher Donovan. How the thought of him always snuck into my thinking baffled me. These days he seemed to be on my mind more than anything else. Today was our pretense day and if the rain continued to pour heavily as it was, I might not be able to make my way to
As Elder Conor rode in his wagon past the unusually busy street, a cluster of women and some men stood in the road. His driver slowly manoeuvred his way. Lifting his head impatiently to see why the car was going slow. His chin jutted. He wound down his window and barked “Get your filthy selves out of the road! Bloody peasants!”What was so fun to have them stand in his way? Arriving at Silas Darkthorn’s house and discovering he wasn't the only elder that had been invited sullened his face. “That sneaky man… I thought he was inviting me alone.”He cleared his throat and wore a smile. As he got himself settled into a seat in the midst of the other elders while responding to the greetings and equally returning the greetings. “Welcome elder Conor. You must have heard what happened yesterday. Unbelievable,” the elder by his right remarked. Elder Conor starred in surprise. “What happened?”The first elder returned his surprise stare. “You didn't hear? Some of us did not just hear b
Asher stood impatiently behind the window that looked into the road that stretched out of his house down to the back road where he expected Lucas would be returning through. Where the eyes of Silas Darkthorn and his underlings wouldn't reach. At least for that moment. Ethan served himself a drink. “Relax. I'm sure he is already on his way.”“I can't…”Asher murmured. Truly he couldn't. How could he be calm. How could he be calm after what happened at the meeting?Darkthorn and his loyalists were definitely planning something. He had to be a step ahead of them. He sighed as he turned away from the window aiming to get seated. But he stopped as a sudden thought flashed in him. “What is it?” Ethan asked, noticing. “What if Lucas is in danger? What if there's someone learning of all our moves and reporting to them? What if there's someone in here on their side? Just like last time…”Ethan opened his mouth to refute Asher's unproven claim but shut it again. It would be foolish of him t
AFTER THE PACK MEETINGElder Conor fumed under his breath. The moment he entered the meeting room, his eyes scanned around and finally rested on Silas Darkthorn on his chief elder's spot. It was very much to his annoyance to see Elder Darkthorn looking very relaxed, nodding his head with a smile as the other elders greeted him. Conor intended to meet him right there before the meeting began to question why he was silent after their discussion days ago. Why was he doing nothing when he had paid hugely? As he was trying to find a moment to make a move towards Darkthorn, Asher had entered and he was immediately compelled to return to his seat. Last night he had sent some of his men to find a way and bring the werewolf woman he desired but was told she now belonged to Asher. And not only that, he wasn't able to get his hand on any of the werewolf women. His jaw tightened. He had no idea what Asher was thinking but if he thought he could have all the werewolf women to himself, then he
When Scarlett entered his office, Asher was prepared to keep his word of all of this being a front. Not touch her. But when he found Scarlett taking sneak peeks at him, he was almost inclined to engage her. She is bound to feel bored doing nothing but stare at the room, he had thought. Then the drama had happened suddenly. Asher found himself grinning while Scarlett was in the bathroom. She is cute, he admitted. “Care to take a walk with me?” He offered when she was finally out. Leading her outside towards the path his father usually walked when he had a lot in his mind, they walked in silence. “Why won't you say anything?” He asked when they had walked halfway the path. “I figured you needed silence more. You must have a lot going on in your head. And I feel I might upset you if I start getting inquisitive since I have a lot of questions to ask.”She was right. A lot was going through his head and he appreciated the silence. “But I suggested that we walk. I wouldn't bring you
SCARLETT“To make this more effective, we will meet in my room chambers the next time. As for today, you can sit over there,” he said as he pointed to the couch across from him.More effective? Me and him, in his room chambers? Every hair on my body stood and my legs froze in the spot. “Have a seat and Maria will get you something to drink,” he said casually as he sat down.How could he still expect me to sit calmly after what he had just said?Dragging my feet, I sat down. I felt my face. Thankfully it was not as hot as I expected it to be. Maria, I presumed to be his office secretary, the lady that let me in, walked in moments later and placed a wine before me. “Drink that,” lycan Alpha said. He seemed calmer than the last time and wasn't engrossed in some piece of picture. The wine tasted really nice. I sat on the couch unsure of what exactly I was supposed to do or say or where to even look. You can look everywhere else but not at him. I decided to keep myself busy with
SCARLETTOutside the lycan Alpha’s office, I closed the door behind me and leaned against it. I shut my eyes and dragged in a long and deep breath. I wasn't supposed to feel that way. Yet I couldn't help it. My chest tightened with frustration.How could he dismiss that night in that manner?Even when I never mentioned it, it was a very special night to me. It was my first night with any man, werewolf or lycan. I gave it to him and yet for him it was nothing but a mistake and a dead memory. And why did he keep staring into a damn photo. My wolf was almost as vexed as I was.My fist clenched and I almost released it at the wall but stopped myself at the last minute. It was a long long walk back to the quarters. Hoping to get the tightening feeling off my chest, I took the longer way back to the quarters. It was the first time since we entered Howling Moon I ever got to enter the town on my own. For our daily duties, we had been assigned to do many things including coming into
