ELIAS’ POVI couldn’t wait for lectures to be done as my mind was on Scarlet. I was burning deep inside of me to unravel whatever this mystery was.As soon as the last class for today, ended, I shot up from my seat instantly.“Wait, where are you going to?” Beatrice asked, looking at me, with intense curiosity.“I have things to do. I won’t be able to walk with you, so, you can leave without me.” I said to her, and hurried out of the class.Immediately I got out of the class, I headed towards the wolves’ block, hoping to find Scarlet before she leaves. Thankfully, I found her at the hallways, packing up her things.“Hey Scarlet. How were your classes today?” I asked, to bring up a healthy conversation between us.“They were fine.” She responded without looking at me.“Do you want me to come over to your house to spend time with you, or you’ll come over to mine?”“I have some things to do, Elias. Now, please if you may excuse me.” Scarlet said, zipping up her bag, and about to walk out
SCARLET’S POVAs I followed Justin, heading to Dr. Shapiro’s office, I wondered what Dr. Shapiro wanted to see me on. But then, Justin halted, and turned to me with a weird expression on his face.“What?” I asked, giving him a baffled look.“Well, I just saved you.” He replied, with a smile on his face, and slipped his right hand into his pocket.“I don’t understand. What do you mean by you just saved me?” I questioned, hoping he wasn’t going crazy.“Well, from the morning, I noticed Elias was probably giving you a hard time by showing up, and then when he showed up again, I felt you needed a valid reason to escape him. So, I came up with this idea.”I let out a chuckle, and was quite surprised he did that for me.“Hold on. Are you for real?”“Yeah, I am. Don’t worry, you can thank me over a cup of ice cream.” Justin said, with a smile.I scoffed, and rolled my eyes.“Well, thanks. But can we get the ice cream later? Maybe tomorrow.” “Sure, why not? And do you mind me walking you hom
ELIAS’ POVThe sun rose after a long night of series of thoughts regarding what I had done wrong to Scarlet. I bounced to my feet, and walked into the bathroom, and stared into the mirror.“Today, you’re going to talk this out with Scarlet, and everything will turn out fine.” I said to myself while looking at the mirror.I picked up my brush, and began to brush my teeth. After brushing my teeth, I turned on the shower, and allowed the water to sprout on my body.While the water drizzled to different parts of my body, I kept thinking on what to say to Scarlet to thaw the ice that was between us.After taking my bath, I walked out of the bathroom, and into my room, then put on casual clothes to wear. When I was done, I headed out to school.As soon as I got to school, I dropped my bag, and headed off to the wolves’ block. I spotted Scarlet at the hallways, opening her locker, and I walked up to her.“Hey Scarlet, do you want to explain why you pretended not to see me, yesterday? Or the
Beatrice stared at Elias as he walked out of the class, and a smirk appeared on her face. Then she nodded her head, and placed her index finger on her philtrum with her thumb resting on her chin.“Well, let’s see how long you can see her as yours, or someone you can’t live without.” She said to herself, feeling confident of her plan.Then she stood up, and headed out of the class as well, but was not after Elias. Instead, she walked to the wolves’ block. She was quite impressed on how beautiful and handsome they also looked.“There are so many beautiful and handsome cliques here in this school.” She walked through the hallways, and trailed her fingers on the lockers as she walked up to Justin.“Hey Justin.” She smirked as she gave him a long look.SCARLET’S POVWe had a brief break, and I was about heading to the cafeteria when Justin appeared right in front of me. “Hey. Heading somewhere?” He asked, with a wide smile.“Yeah, I’m going to the cafeteria. Want to join in?” I invited h
BRAD’S POVEven as much as I feared Scarlet’s unbelievable skill or power, I still resented her. It was annoying that she had trampled on my ego, just like that.And now, she was moving with just anyone she wanted. I let out a frustrated sigh, and bit my lips as I stared into blank space, thinking of what to make do of this situation.Suddenly, one of the hot girls I used to move with, appeared right in front of me. The guards must have let her in, since I had invited her over multiple times after Valerie’s death, just to forget what was hurting my heart.“What are you doing here? I didn’t call you over.” I said to her, still wondering why she had bothered coming.“I figured out that you might need me, Brad” She said, looking sexy.I stared at her body. It was hot, and tempting, but I was frustrated than usual tonight. I wasn’t certain sex could take it away or should I say I would take my frustration out on her through sex and that wasn’t going to be sex as I was not certain she woul
ELIAS’ POVIt had been two weeks since I set my eyes on Scarlet, and ever since the time she shouted, adding to the misunderstanding, I had not laid my eyes on her, neither had I been able to visit her to settle whatever misunderstandings.I tried to distract myself from thinking about her often because they were far better things taking up my time and attention. Preparing for the war needed my full attention, time, and wits. There was no way I could be running after Scarlet, trying to make things up with her.“When the enemy attacks you, you need to fight back with all might, regardless of the position holds. Even if you come across the Alpha of their pack, and you feel you or more people can hold him down.” I said to the trainees under me.“Really? Are we allowed to do that?” One of the eager ones spoke out.“Yeah. They asked for it. The Alpha himself ruled the line for this war, and we’ll give it to them. There’s no way we could forget that he had asked for it.” I spoke with confi
Elias went back to the palace, feeling a bit annoyed at how it seemed as if Beatrice wasn’t taking his pain and frustration of not knowing what’s going on with Scarlet, seriously.He walked into his room, and laid down on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and blinking at intervals. At the end of this week, the war could likely break out, but the Royal Crest Pack didn’t announce a date for it.And that’s why Elias ensured that he trained those trainees as much as he could, to prepare them for the worst which could come from the Royal Crest Pack.A knock came on the door, and he sat up, and glanced at the door.“Come in.” He urged, and discovered it was his mother.“Mother, what brings you to my room?” He asked as she walked up to him, and sat on his bed.“Well, I just came to check in on you since you’ve been so busy, trying to train our men, and all other things too.”“Oh. Well, I’m glad they are catching up, and I think they are ready to be out in the war.”“I trust you. By the way, i
Beatrice got to Scarlet’s home, and she knocked several times, but there was no response. Beatrice then focused on her hearing, and discovered that no one was at home at that moment.“Where did she go to?” She said, under her breath as she turned around on the front porch, and glared at blank space.Scarlet on the other hand was out with both Sylvia, and Carla at an open restaurant. The restaurant had their customers eat outside in a garden, and it was quite lovelier than one could imagine.“Just wait and see. Some other people would actually copy this style.” Carla said as she munched on her food.“She’s actually right.” Sylvia supported, and cleaned her stained lips with a tissue paper.“Well, that’s not cool. We should allow one’s uniqueness to thrive for a long time before trying to jump on it.” Scarlet spoke, pouting her lips to express her disapproval.“That’s how the world works, and this has been its pattern even before we were born.” Carla said, and sipped her juice.Scarlet
