Scarlet Pov
How can he do this? How can my father make me accept Ares as my mate? Yes, I understand he thinks this will help the witches and wolves accept one another, but has he learned from my biological parents that it doesn't work that way? It will just make everything worse and cause more hate and war. I won't do it; I refuse to. I refuse to put everyone at risk just to make the moon goddess happy in some sick, twisted way. On top of that, some crazy bitch just attacked me in the hall because of the stupid prince.
She is mad because he is my mate and she wants him, which causes me to lose control. I don't understand.
"Scarlet," I hear someone yell, and I turn and look to see who it is. Just to see, it's my so-called mate. I yell back at him and tell him to stay away, and he stops and looks at me with so much hate and something else in his eyes, which confuses me.
"If you ever put my mom in harm's way again, or even just a little magic voodoo witchy shit comes out around her, I will end your miserable little life. Do you understand me?" I looked at him with confusion. "What!! Are you seriously threatening me of all people? Are you stupid? I didn't cause any harm to your mom, and I would never bring harm to her. I would never bring harm to anyone. I can and won't genetically or mentally hurt anyone." I can't believe he would jump to the conclusion that I would ever hurt anyone who is not who I am. It just shows how much hate runs in his body for witches." I look at him, and I am trying to keep the hurt from my voice and my face, and I know I'm failing miserably. "You know you can fool everyone around you, but you can't fool me. I see what and who you are. It's only a matter of time before everyone else sees it too.
Look at what you just did because someone hit you. You lost control and put my mom and my people in danger because you don't have control or because you enjoy harming people."
"Oh, ya, then who and what am I?
Please share since you know me all so well. just looks at me, and I scoff, turn, and walk away. I can't believe him; he is so damn hateful. Another reason I refuse to be around him.
Fuck this, I'm done. Find your way to my pack along with everyone else because I'm not riding with you or my father." I took off, running towards home, and came to a stop when I got into the beautiful forest and looked around. As I look around, I take in the peace and beautiful scenery I never noticed before. Everything is blanketed in a beautiful white blanket from the snow. I just kept walking, father and son, into the woods. It's getting colder, and I think there is a storm coming from the looks of the sky.
There are mean-looking clouds rolling in. "Great, I can't turn around. I have been walking for hours, and I don't know where I am." It's been about 20 minutes later, and the storm hit, and now I'm covered in cold snow and don't know what to do. I'm tired and want to sleep, but this annoying little voice keeps telling me to keep going. I'm almost home, but I don't. I lay down and start falling asleep, not caring what happens. "I should be fine taking a nap," I tell myself as I fall asleep.
"SCARLET!, SCARLET!
I start moving around, lift my head as I hear yelling again, and start looking around. " SCARLET!!!" I hear again and see a bright light ahead, and it's moving seeing it, Jorge. Over her Alpha, your
Highness's found her. I put my head down and started falling back to sleep, too cold and tired to keep my eyes open. No, Scar, you have to stay awake. I hear Jorge say and feel something fuzzy and warm wrapped around me to warm me up. I look and see a blanket wrapped. I put my head back into the cold snow and started trying to fall asleep, and I felt someone lift me and feel like they were walking. Come on, Scar, stay awake; we are almost to the pack house. Jorge says to me, and I shake my head and mumble, I'm too tired and cold. The next time I woke up, I heard someone scream my name, and I looked, and it was my mom and my best friend Cate. Oh my God, put her down on the couch and get more blankets. Someone call the pack doctor now. My mom yells at everyone. The door burst open, and it's my father and Ares, my ass whole of a mate; they both come running into the living room. "Get out," he demands in his alpha tone to everyone. Dear, change her into some dry clothes. Are you going to hold her and let her feel the bond and heat to help her heal and warm up until the doctor gets here, please?" "Yes, sir" he says to my father. "No, I don't want him anywhere near me. I don't care what you say, Father; he will not touch me, and I don't accept him as my mate," I say to them. "Well, Princess, you don't have a choice in going to help you, so stop being so damn stubborn and let me give you some of my heat. I might not like you, but I'm not going to let you die in front of your pack and, most of all, in front of your parents. We can go back to hating each other after you are warmed up and back to your full strength.
