BRAD'S POVValerie stared back at me with defiance and I realized she was trying to cause a scene. I pulled her up from the bed aggressively and pushed her into a corner. I couldn't let anyone see us together anymore, especially since the news that I had found my mate spread amongst the pack members. "Why do you look so tense, Brad?" She asked. “It’s just someone out there. You don’t have to act like we are under attack.” I shot her a demeaning look and a hiss escaped my lips. I picked up her clothes and threw them at home. "Get dressed immediately and don’t say another word. Do you really think I don’t know what you’re trying to do?" I asked her almost in a whisper, hoping the person at the door couldn’t hear us. She stared hard at me without uttering another word and if looks could kill, I would be dead. She was hurt and I could see it in her eyes. However, I couldn’t afford to lose to Elias. Never. “Brad, what is going on in there?” I heard a knock again and hurriedly adjusted
SCARLET'S POVPRESENT TIMEThe moment my gaze fell on the Alpha, fear gripped me and my heart raced with a loud echo. The look on his face sent chills down my spine and my breath came quick and shallow, as if the air in the room had turned hostile. Every part of me wanted to turn back and leave but my mother's mind was already made up. And it would be so disrespectful to interrupt the Alpha’s schedule without any good reason. Alpha Thomas’ gaze bore into me like daggers, and resentment grew from within me. Every glance between us felt like a challenge and I lowered my head when I could not take it any longer. "We would like to speak to you about something important,” my mother said, yanking me from the depths of my thoughts. “We are only asking for a little bit of your time.”He smirked softly and sat on a chair. He motioned to us to stand before him and we obeyed swiftly. “I don’t have all day. If you have something important to discuss, I’m listening.”“I’m sure you’re aware that
TWO DAYS LATERELIAS’ POVBeing at home wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be as I was already missing school. But the only thing I missed about school was Scarlet. I needed to see her, to watch her smile, take in her scent and listen to her talk about anything.I picked up my new phone and sighed. No messages from Scarlet. But how did I expect her to send a message if she didn’t even know I lost my old phone? I needed to see her, maybe visit her again. But I promised myself that I would give her time to make her decisions. That I wouldn’t bother her until she was ready to see or talk to me. And so far, she had not made any attempt to reach out. I exhaled sharply as I stood up from the bed, and looked around.I could say this was my first time looking around my room with so much focus. Well, that’s what not being in school was currently doing to me. It was driving me crazy and I couldn’t help it. I stared at myself in the mirror, and looked at my abs, and physique, and nodded a b
SCARLET’S POVI laid back on my bed at home, feeling a bit down after our visit to the Alpha. I had fallen ill from everything that was going on but my mother had managed to take care of me.I hated Alpha Thomas, despised his cruel nature and his need to mate Brad and I. I knew he didn’t care about me or the mating bond. He was only trying to show his strength to the Lycan’s by taking me away from Elias.It was sickening to my tummy, and the sad emotions weighed down on me, making me feel miserable more than ever.To find out that your mate doesn’t love you but just wants you for some reason and plans to dump you later is the most painful thing to bear. But I didn’t care about that anymore. I just needed to see Elias, to tell him what was going on so he could stop it. I sighed heavily, and rose from my bed, feeling really down and disturbed. Then the doorbell rang. My heart skipped and I dashed to the sitting room. Could it be Elias? I prayed hard that it would be him. “Scarlet, get
ELIAS’ POV I waited for the guards who were bringing in the intruder to get here, and I was ready to question and torture the intruder if possible. Any intruder who came in here had guts, and that’s like disrespect to us as it meant he or she didn’t fear us. Our pack was guarded carefully, and any intruder was up for a death sentence. The rule to stop wolves from visiting was made a long time ago when a family was killed in our pack. To protect the wolves , we created the rule to stop them from ever coming into our pack. I heard the guards hauling the intruder into the palace and I waited to see and know why the person had taken such a huge risk. It had to mean something . But suddenly , I caught a whiff of Scarlet’s scent. I usually smelt her in my room but it was stronger this time, almost like she was…. “My prince, we found this lady trying to jump into the pack. I believe she is a spy.” The head guard pulled the lady forward, and to my shock, it was Scarlet. My eyes widene
BRAD'S POV “Brad, you look so breath-taking.” Angela complimented as she stroked my chest slowly. “How do you manage to make your hair stay silky and nice?” Doreen added as she stroked my hair. Right in the hallway, I could also sense a few girls were feeling jealous as they noticed Angela and Doreen having the time of their lives with me. Angela and Doreen were one of the hot girls in this school, and most guys were wishing hard that they could notice them, but I stole the whole attention away. Angela stared right into my eyes, and her eyes went half close as she leaned closer to my lips, about to envelope it with hers. I could say her lips looked soft and tempting, but I was in no mood for that, and even with their hot bodies, I wasn't moved one bit. “No, Angela.” I said, and removed her hand from my body. “I'm sorry, Brad.” she apologized, with a pleading look. I sighed, and removed Doreen's hands too. “It's fine. I need some lone time now.” “Alright then.” They said, a
Scarlet was busy in the kitchen, helping her mother make dinner, and while she was cooking, she hummed to her favorite song. She felt much better after Carla visited her, and she also visiting Elias, and right now, she felt she could conquer the world.Then her phone began to ring from the living room, so she cleaned her hand with her apron, and scurried towards the sitting room. She discovered it was Carla, and that made her feel excited.“Hey Carla.” I said as I sat on the sofa, feeling relaxed.Carla chuckled lightly, and laid on her bed’s headboard. “I guess a few things has been resolved since you’re sounding so happy.”“Uhm…Not really, but I feel things are going to get better.” Scarlet smiled, and leaned on the sofa.“I love that enthusiasm. By the way, how did your visit to Elias’ pack, go?” “It went well, I guess. He was angry at first, but I managed to calm him down. And yes, he wanted me to choose between him and Brad at that moment.”“Whoa. And you chose him, right?” Carl
SCARLET’S POVI kept to myself in the room which the Alpha had ordered for me to be sent into. It was a nice bed, and room, but I knew I was a prisoner here, and that didn’t make the nice room feel nice.Anxiety settled deep inside me because I didn’t know what to expect from Brad, and the Alpha. I hugged my knees to my chest, and sniffled as I fought back the tears which wanted to pave their way out of my eyes.I wondered how my mother would be feeling right now. Oh, goodness. I need to get out of here before what I’m trying my best to avoid gets to me.Suddenly, a few women came in, dressed like maids. I guess they were. They brought in jewelry, clothes, and other things.“Please kindly make your way to the bathroom, ma’am.” One of them, urged with a slight smile on her face that shows she was being respectful.I got up from the bed, and took a few steps backwards until I got to the wall. It was obvious they were trying to prepare me for the ceremony, but at the same time, I wasn’t
