Howling Hearts

I watched as my daughter single-handedly disarmed and dismembered the guards that were sent to attack her.

Aiden became more furious as the number of guards went down. He started pushing guards out of his way. When he came face to face with Scarlet whose chest was moving up and down from her heavy breathing. They stared at one another and the hatred for each other rolled off their aura in waves. The tension was high.

"I guess I've got to deal with the trash on my own" Aiden said and scarlet growled into his face with her canines inches from his nose.

Aiden's eyes grew green as he summoned vines from the ground tying off Scarlets feet.

She tried to claw her way out but it was all in vain. I took a step forward and suddenly felt an hand grip my wrist.

I tried to loosen myself from the iron grip but when I realized it wasn't going to happen I turned to see Astraeus shaking his head.

"This has to happen Selene you cannot intervene

"Astraeus she's alone and within her late stages of pregnancy you cannot expect of her to take on this battle alone."

"Selene she's not a baby anymore. She came in here and took on this battle by herself I'm sure she is well aware of the risks and the rewards thereof. Look Selene she can handle herself"

He said pointing into her direction coaxing me to look.

When I did I saw Scarlets veins start to glow as she channeled her power and when she let it go the vines that had crept up to her tummy had exploded and vanished.

The wave of power was so powerful it caused Aiden to fell down and caused me to take a few steps back due to the pure force. Scarlet didn't hesitate for one second. She pounced on him and started slashing at his chest as her claws dripped with some sort of venom. She suddenly stopped and towered over his frame that was struggling to hold onto life.

"Tell your dad in hell I say f*ck you" She said with a satisfied smirk. Aiden suddenly grabbed hold of her ankle and ripped it out from under her causing her to lose balance and fall next to him. "Why don't you join me" Aiden said with a mischievous smile.

I stepped closer and saw him pull a dagger from his side pockets. I took control of his mind and made him envision his father grabbing hold of his hand. Stopping him from killing Scarlet.

This gave her just enough time to rip his head from his body and light it on fire. She turned to me and her eyes glowed red making me remember her wolf was in control not her.

I sighed and snapped my fingers making Lucian appear in front of me. The moment she saw him she disappeared and vanished from our sight.

I was hoping he would be able to bring her back but it would be hard whilst she was so adamant on her own ways.

Lucian:

I was sitting in my office wondering where my mate might have vanished to. The thought of her walking straight into the arms of our enemy was eating me up from the inside out. All of a sudden I saw a white flash that was so bright it blinded me. When I opened my eyes again I saw her.

My mate standing over a dead body with her eyes glowing red. Her clothes had tears in and she seemed disheveled. I saw some blood over her and my heart felt like it sank in to a black hole. Was that her blood?

Why is her wolf in control?

Why is she here?

Wait where is here?

Fear seemed to cloud her eyes and she vanished into thin air.

I blinked my eyes a couple of times just to make sure I was seeing correctly when nothing was changing I turned around only to be greeted by two very familiar faces.

That were filled with disappointment and yet relief somehow. "What happened here and where am I?" I asked looking around the disheveled place.

"Scarlet happened" Astraeus said pointing toward the body that laid on the floor a few feet from us. "That there is Aiden"

"Good riddance". Selene slapped me on my shoulder like a mother would her son if he was being disrespectful. But hey they started it.

They were far from respectful towards me and my mates bond and we were like a married couple so they disrespected our marriage and bond first. "and that there" Selene pointed towards a dust pile.

"That's Zeus"

"The dust pile?"

I felt like they were playing some sort of prank on me. But instead they both just nodded.

"And you're in mount Olympus and what used to be Zeus's office before scarlet decided to attack them" Astraeus continued "Not Scarlet her wolf" Selene added. I raised my brow at her.

"Scarlet has locked her within her own mind like a prison as a way to ignore the outside world and shield herself from all the consequences of killing Saige I believe." 1

She said in a worried tone.

"I just fear that if she stays in there for too long scarlet as we know her will vanish into the darkest corners of her mind and never return to the surface only leaving her wolf to rein entirely alone." She continued with a tear gliding down her cheek.

"Lucian I've just gotten her back I cannot lose her again. Please help I don't know her well enough to know what to do to bring her back to me."

I thought back at the scene and realized why she had done this to herself. She is afraid of losing the only stable thing in her life that has been with her through her ups and her downs.

Her parents. I nodded and hugged Selene as a way to make her feel comforted and that she can trust me enough to fix all of this.

For I will be the one losing the most if I cannot.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
