Scarlett's POVI stared at the flowers at for some time before glancing back at Atlene."You're giving me black roses?", I asked him."Why? Have I become that unbearable that you would wish me death by giving me these roses?", I asked him and he looked startled."Wh...what do you mean?", he stuttered."I should be the one asking what you mean by giving me these black roses?", I pointed out coldly, secretly enjoying the look of dismay on his face."I...I just wanted to give you flowers...and I thought you wouldn't appreciate or like it if I gave you regular flowers so I decided to give you black roses. After all you seem to have developed an interest in the color black recently", he explained quickly nodding at the all black outfit I was currently putting on."But if you don't like them, I'll take them back", he quickly said."No need", I immediately told him and he paused looking at me, surprised."What?""I said no need", I repeated."I'll take them", I told him and stretched out my

Luke's POV Knock knock Someone on the door. "Oh o, who the f*ck could it be by this time of the morning?", Annabel grumbled beside me on the bed. "Let's just ignore them, then they'll go away, whoever they are", she suggested as she rolled over and wrapped her arms around me. I nodded in agreement but the knocks persisted. "Agh!!", Annabel groaned. "Whoever they are they better have a good reason for this", she muttered under her breath as she got off the bed. She grabbed her coat and put it on before walking over to open the door. "Yes, what the f*ck do you want?!", Annabel asked angrily as she opened the door. There was a servant girl standing at the doorway with her head bowed. "I'm...I'm sorry to have disturbed you", the servant girl apologized trembling, no doubt she was scared by the way Annabel was glaring at her. "You're sorry?", Annabel asked slowly, a menace in her tone. "That means you know that you shouldn't have done it, so why did you do it?", she asked. "I..

Atlene's POV I laid on the bed in my room, trying not to toss lest it made my injuries hurt even more. But it was easier said than done. I was anxious and nervous and he was becoming incredibly hard for me to lie still like Pack nurse had ordered. I kept listening, glancing at the door, waiting for Scarlett to come in and see me. It was an unrealistic to be waiting for I knew but I couldn't help it. After all, she did order the Pack nurse to attend to my wounds first, surely that must count for something or show that she might care for me at least a bit. I smiled when I remembered how Scarlett had intervened just when Atlas was about to land me a blow. From my point of view as a fighter and if I was to he completely honest with myself, if Atlas' punch had actually made contact with me, I would have been seriously hurt and probably be in a worse shape than I was right now. So why then did I have to go and pick a fight with my brother when I knew he was much stronger than me? I knew I

Scarlett's POVKnock knockSomeone knocked on my room."Who is it?", I called out."Big sis, it's me", Paula's familiar voice answered.I walked towards the door and opened it. Paula smiled at me."Big sis, I want to talk to you", she said."Ok", I responded walking back into my room. Paula followed behind me."Ok, so what is it you want to talk about?", I asked her as I sat down on my bed.She came to sit down beside me."It's about the brothers", she said and I groaned."Oh please not this again", I said in frustration."Shantel already annoyed me with talk about the brothers fight, I don't need you to do it too", I told her pointedly."But it is such a sensitive issue, big sis that's why we are all hampering on it", she expressed."First of all, why does everyone assume that the brothers fight has something to do with me?", I asked her with an exasperated sigh."They could have been fighting over something else for all we know", I told her."But you know deep in your heart that tha

Annabel's POVI walked into the strategy room of the alpha of the storm pack with Luke by my side."Annabel, Luke what a pleasant surprise", Alpha Akin greeted us as we walked into the room."Thank you, Alpha", I thanked him.Everyone turned their attention to us as we walked towards the table.Luke pulled out a chair for me and I sat down. He pulled out a chair for himself and sat down as well."So to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?", the Alpha asked."I just wanted to come and see how far you have gone with your plans to bring down Scarlett", I answered and flashed him a smile."And of course we brought some news as well", I told all of them who were seated at the table."Oh? What news?", he asked."First tell me how far you've come with your plans", I insisted."Well, we are currently putting the finishing touches on our plan to attack Scarlett's company", he told me."How?", I asked my eyes still on the Alpha. There were some grunts of disapproval from some of the Alpha
