” Mom..” Scarlet got up from the couch as we all stood up looking at her mom.

“We are going home..” That was the first thing she said coming over to Scarlet.

“But–” before she could even say anything her mom turned and looked at my parents.

” She wasn’t supposed to be marked.” I looked at my parents in confusion and they mirrored my expression.

“Mom what do you mean.?” Scarlet asked but her mom kept on looking at my parents who I’m guessing had no idea what she was talking about.

“Now both of their lives are in danger. She is still young and untrained and there is a lot of things we have to deal with—“

” Mom calm down breath..” Scarlet said calming her Mom who seemed like she was having a panic attack. Do goddesses have panic attacks?

“Calm down and tell me what’s going on and why is it that Zane wasn’t supposed to mark me?” Scarlet said slowly like she was talking to a ten-year-old. Her Mom took a deep breath then relaxed.

” Ceros is coming for you both..” she said looking at me.

“Who’s that?” I asked she gave me a questioning look then looked at my parents.

“You never told him?” she asked them while I looked on. Mom had a confused expression and then realization hit.

“But I thought he wasn’t affected?” she asked.

“Of course he wasn’t but now that he and Scarlet have bonded for life he is also affected. And once they finish the mating process it will be all over even I won’t be able to do anything..” I looked at Scarlet who had a face of horror I have no freaking idea what’s going on and who Ceros is and–

” Oh no Mom what are we going to do? I am not ready yet I can’t fight him and–” before she could even finish her mom kissed her forehead and she was out like a light falling into my arms.

“What did you do to her?” I asked as I lay her on the couch.

“She needs some time out. I think you should explain to him what is going on and why both of them have to stay away from each other for a while. Well until she is ready..” I looked at my parents who gave a nod. Mother-in-law went over to the couch where Scarlet was laying, she held her hand, and poof they disappeared.

“Mom Dad please tell me what’s going on and why I have to stay away from Scarlet because honestly, I am NOT doing that I love her I have marked her as mine and I can’t STAY away from here..” I said.

“Come on let’s go talk..” Dad said leading me towards the stairs.

“Tell me what’s going on?” I asked once we were in my room.

” Remember why we had to separate you and your sisters when you were kids?” He asked. I actually have siblings but something happened and it’s a story for another day.

” No, you never told me..” I answered sitting on my bed.

“We separated you three because there is a man out there who is after your powers. You see when you three are in the same place your powers intensify and if not controlled people can take it away from you and use it for evil.”

“But Zoey and Zara? They are not here and what does that have to do with me and Scarlet.?”

” Because you are not the only one being hunted Scarlet is too and since you both are now bonded your powers have intensified. At first, we thought that since Zoey and Zara weren’t here you were safe but now Scarlet’s powers are just enough to replace Zoey and Zara’s..”

” So what I have to stay away from her. Dad if our powers have intensified then we can handle it we can defeat whatever force out there that wants to destroy us..”

” Zane you don’t understand, Scarlet is undertrained this is not some small issue like dealing with rogues. This is big and if not handled in the right way you both could die and I don’t wanna lose the only child I have left. ” Dad said giving me a sad look. “And if you both die the whole werewolf world will be in danger because there is no one powerful enough to kill Ceros only you and your sisters or you and Scarlet can defeat him without you four the whole werewolf nation will be in danger..”

” So what I and Scarlet have to separate just like I was separated from my sisters?.” Juan was whining in my head at the thought of me separating from our mate this is not fair Scarlet and I have not even enjoyed our relationship yet and now we have to separate all because of some stupid power-hungry freak!

“You have to go to Italy!” Dad dropped the bomb. ” It’s the only place you will be safe and far from Scarlet..”

“But dad–“

” Zane this is just a small sacrifice you have to make for your relationship. It’s only temporary you will come back once Scarlet gets trained and ready. If Zoey and Zara were here then you wouldn’t be separating from her–“

” You know what Dad maybe if you had told me this in the beginning I would have trained harder and maybe I wouldn’t have to stay away from my mate.” I got up going over to my closet grabbing my stuff.

” I’m sorry Zane I wanted to shield you from this as much as possible. I thought that since your sisters weren’t here you would be safe but I guess it was always in your destiny and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Sorry!” he said and I sighed.

” It’s okay Dad I know you did it to protect us I could have done the same thing if I were in your place,” I said placing my clothes on the bed then grabbing my suitcase and stuffing it with clothes. I hate destiny but if this is the only way for her to be safe then I will do it.

” I will just call my sister..” he said going out of the room.

By the time I was done clearing my room it was almost dinner time I didn’t even feel like eating, what I wanted was to spend time with my mate.

” Come down for dinner..” Mom said I nodded my head following her out.

We all sat at the dinner table Mom and aunt Melissa serving the food.

” Your flight will leave tomorrow at 5 a.m..” Dad said and I nodded my head. The whole dinner was quiet no one uttered a word as we all were in our own worlds me thinking about my mate and how heartbreaking it will be when I say goodbye to her I just wish a miracle would happen where I get to stay with her in my arms or we go far away from here to a place where we could live just the two of us in peace without worrying about some power-hungry freak or worrying about being a leader I really need time ou—

” Zane..” Mom said I looked at her. Everyone was done eating while my plate was still untouched.

“I am going over to say goodbye to Scarlet..” I said getting up no one stopped me I grabbed my hoody car keys and credit card but first I need to get her a gift.

SCARLET

I woke up with an intense headache. I g*****d looking around only to replace myself in my room and Mom sitting beside me reading a book.

“Oh you are awake..” she said.

“Mom what’s going to happen to me and Zane..?” I asked she sighed.

” You both will be separated but only for a short while until you are fully trained and ready..” I nodded my head it will only be for a little while I will train harder. It’s not like he will be going to another country we will stay in Baja talk on the phone all the time but won’t just see each other I mean how hard can that be.

“Come on let’s go have some dinner. I ordered Chinese food..” she said helping me up. We went over to the kitchen and she gave me a bow of Chinese food. I grabbed both of us going over and sitting on the couch eating while watching a movie I didn’t have an appetite but I had to force myself. I can’t believe Zane and I will be separated.

“Will my love story ever have a happy ending?” I asked Mom while playing with my food.

She placed her bow of food on the table and I mirrored her moves.

“Everything will be perfect baby I know you and Zane will be happy together and will have babies..” she smiled petty my hair as I lay on her lap.

“Come on eat up your food before it gets cold…” I got up laying my head on her shoulder while eating the food which was delicious by the way.

Ping a message notification:

“Who texted.?” mom asked

I put down my empty bow of food then pick up my phone.

Zane: come outside I want to talk to you.

“It’s Zane he wants to talk..” Mom sighed.

“Scarlet I don’t think that’s a good idea–” Before she could finish my phone rang.
