His Scarlet Queen Luna
Chapter 8

“For being with me I don’t know what I would do without you,” I said and he chuckled.

“Anything for you pink panther..”

“By the way, I am also sorry I have kept you awake till like..” I took my phone from the bedside table and looked at the time “Three in the morning..” I said. he let out a small laugh.

“Yeah but you owe me..” he said. I looked back to see his grinning face with wiggling eyebrows…

“No… please tell me you are not planning on taking me to another party..” I g*****d burying my face in his chest.

“Well if you don’t want then I will just leave you here alone so that the guilt of Zane could haunt you forever..” he said it sounding like a ghost.

“Please no stop you are scaring me..” I said and he laughed. I was major scared of ghosts.

” Don’t worry I won’t leave but you still have to come to the party later..” he said. I g*****d again.

” fine only because I don’t want you outside at this time you might get kidnapped..” I said

“Oh please, I know you. You are saying that but deep down I know you just want me to stay. I knew I was irresistible..” he said. I slapped his chest.

“Stop it Val not cool..” I said and he let out a laugh. I smiled at that it’s true I was concerned about his wellbeing but also I was enjoying the company he was at least distracting me from thinking about Zane. A comfortable silence stretched upon us and soon I found myself drifting off to sleep.

*

“SCARLET VALENCIA WAKE UP..!!” I felt someone shaking me and yelling… I g*****d.

“Five more minutes..” I said trying to get the comforter and cover myself.

“No Scar wake up you are going to be late for school you too Val..” I opened one eye to see my mother’s figure she had her hands over her h**s glaring at me well the both of us. This isn’t the first time mom has found me in bed with Val she knows we consider each other as siblings.

“What time is it..?” I asked trying to rub sleep off of my eyes.

“7: 30..”

“WHAT..!!?” I shot up from the bed trying to run to the bathroom but ended up falling face flat with a heavyweight on top of me. Mom’s laughter echoed through the room while I g*****d in pain.

“Get off of me Val. You are too heavy..” I said trying to push him away but only making things worse for me well for us. We have tangled through the sheets and one leg of mine was between his legs while the sheets were wrapped around us tightly almost choking me.

“Mom help me..” I said lifting up my hands like I was a baby who wanted to be lifted up by the mother. She took a pic of us then came over to untangle us while she kept laughing hysterically.

“mom you have to delete that picture..” I said as soon as she untangled us.

“No can’t do sweetheart now go get ready..” she said waving the phone on my face. I g*****d and she giggled

“ohh this pic looks good I am definitely posting this…” She said going out of the room while I looked at Val and he began laughing.

” WHAT’S SO FUNNY!!!..” I yelled get up from the floor stomping my feet towards my bathroom while Val just laughed. I took a shower and after I was done I went to my room and Val wasn’t there guess he must have left to go get ready. I put on my clothes which were some denim shorts and a black shirt putting my blonde hair in a ponytail then left the room. I was already late anyway might as well eat breakfast. I sat down and took some pancakes which mom had already prepared.

“Val said that you should go to his house!!!..” mom yelled going out for work.

“Okay, mom!!!..” I yelled back. I quickly finished eating breakfast and went over to his house. I didn’t knock just entered the house going straight to his room. His parents weren’t morning people so I knew if I knocked no one would come open the door.

” Val..?” I called entering his room.

“coming pink panther!!!..” he yelled from the bathroom. I sat on his bed looking around his room. It was pretty clean for a guy if you ask me. He came out of the bathroom already dressed.

“Let’s go..” he said grabbing his bag going out to his car.

“Wait you’re not eating breakfast..?” I asked him while opening his car passenger side door and sitting down.

” Nah I already ate at your place..”

“OH..” was all I said. He pulled out the driveway and off to school we went.

*

“Are you ready..?” he asked me as soon as he packed the car in the school parking lot. We had agreed that I would apologize as soon as we got to school.

I was so nervous I could see Zane from where I was, his friends were busy talking and laughing but he wasn’t. He just stood there like a statue staring into space.

“You got this pink panther..” Val squeezed my hand for reassurance. I promised I wouldn’t chicken out but now looking at him I’m not so sure I can do this.

“Okay..” I said. I took a deep breath let it out then went out of the car. As soon as I stepped out Zane’s eyes snapped in my direction. I gave him a small smile but he didn’t reciprocate. His face was expressionless.

“Can I talk to you..?” I asked when I was close enough for him to hear. His friends stopped talking and looked at me. My face was heating up. The way they were looking at me had me wanting to hide my face from their intense gaze.

“Come guys time for the class..” was what Zane said going away, he didn’t even say anything to me just left. His friends nodded their heads and followed him like he was the leader. I sighed in defeat..

“you must have hurt him a lot huh..” Val said coming closer to me.

“I guess so..” his words had me feeling even more guilty.

“Don’t worry pink panther I am sure things will be okay maybe he just needs time..”

“Time Val really but all I want to do is apologize. Couldn’t he just spare a second and listen to my apology.? I mean how hard can that be..” I said exasperated and Val gave me the brows.

‘”Really blondie if I were to say something to hurt your feelings pretty badly and told you the meanest things in the world then later I came to apologize would you listen to me..”

“…….” I kept silent.

“Exactly..” Val said and I sighed.

” I don’t know what to do…?” I said.

“Maybe you should ask Jenna for help she is his girlfriend maybe she might help you..”

“I can’t tell Jenna about this Val she might think that I’m trying to woo him. Yesterday I had promised her that I had nothing to do with Zane and I hated him I just can’t go there and say I need help with something that has to do with him..” Val sighed then pulled me into a hug the guilt eating me up had me on the verge of tearing up.

“It’s the okay babe you’ve got this we will figure something out..” he said kissing my forehead.

“come on let’s get you to class..” I nodded my head then went into the school building.

ZANE

She said the meanest things to me. Is that what my own mate thinks about me? I couldn’t take it anymore. I stepped away from her going back home. I was only trying to be nice and get her to like me but I messed things up. I need to go for a run. Since her house was in my territory it was easier to shift into my wolf.

I went closer to the woods then stripped my clothes and shifted into my wolf. I ran for like hours letting off the steam. My wolf was whining in my head.

‘How can mate say that to us’ he whined. After the run I quickly wore my clothes then went to the car but before that, I glanced at her house specifically her room and I heard giggling. The lights were on. I shook my head then got into my car and went home frustrated and angry that I made mate say that to us.

“Son shouldn’t you be in bed..?” Dad asked me as soon as I entered the house.

“Yeah dad just went for a run shouldn’t you be in bed too..?” I asked cautiously.

“Yeah, but your mother wanted some water..” He said and I nodded.

“I can sense something is wrong you don’t look good. Is it about your mate? your mom told me you found her and she is human..” I nodded my head.

“Care to talk about it..?” I nodded my head again. Dad was the best person to tell this though he and mum had known each other since they were kids he was experienced enough for such matters.

” Yesterday I did something..” I said. I told everything to dad. After a few seconds, he chuckled….

” Don’t worry son I’m sure she didn’t mean it maybe she was just upset..” he said and I sighed.

” I tell you this she will definitely come asking you to forgive her. She is your mate after all and whether werewolf, human, or other the mate bond always catches up..” he added I smiled at him.

“Thanks, dad..”

” Sure thing Zane..” he said patting my shoulder.

“KADEN!!!” I heard Mom scream and chuckled while Dad widened his eyes

“Get some sleep son I have to go to your mother before she makes me sleep on the couch tonight..” Dad said jogging over to the stairs and I chuckled at this. Yeah maybe she was just upset anyway I will replace out tomorrow.

Morning came I had come early to school today. I and the guys were in the parking lot they know everything except for the part where she said those things.

“Hey, babe ain’t you going to class..?” Jenna came kissing my cheek and hugging me.

“Sorry babe later I am not well..” I said letting go of her.

“What’s wrong..?” She asked concerned.

“It’s nothing love just go to class I won’t be available for you today okay but I will call you when I get a chance..” I said she nodded her head and left.

“Bro why aren’t you telling her..?” Aaron my future beta asked.

“Yeah Zane she has to know before things get too far, you will hurt them both..” William my third in command said

“Look guys I know but it’s just hard I don’t know how I will tell her. Plus it’s not like I’m planning on laying with her so how will things get too far between us I haven’t even kissed her yet well except forehead k****s and the ones on the cheeks..”

“Yeah, that’s because you found your mate the same day you proposed to her.” This time it was miles my best tracker who said

“You better tell her soon man.” Nathan my top warrior said.

“Okay okay, I will. let’s just wait for Scarlet to get here alright this plan has to be perfect…” I said and they nodded.

We were about five of us my future beta, future gamma, top warrior, and one of the best trackers. All of them hadn’t found their mates yet because they were still below eighteen.

We stayed there for I don’t know how long waiting for Scar. I heard a car driving into the parking lot but I didn’t look

After a few minutes her scent hit me and I looked to see her coming out of the car she smiled at me and my wolf purred but I didn’t show off any emotions.

“Can we talk..?” she asked. I wanted to tell her yes sure but my ego wouldn’t allow me to. If she is here to apologize then I might as well make her suffer for it.

“Come on guys time for the class..” I said not even sparing her a glance. Serves her right for being mean to me. We entered the school building but I hid behind the door using my wolf ears to hear what they were discussing.

I smirked after hearing their conversation but seeing him the guy I beat up last time made me angry. I took a deep breath then let it out. I knew he wasn’t her brother but I let it slide maybe she regards him as a brother.

SCARLET

the hallways were pretty crowded. We had skip first period, Val escorted me to my locker then after I was done getting my stuff we went to class.

“Have fun in class and don’t overthink about this okay..” he said and I gave him a small smile. I went into class and sat on my usual sit I did share this class with any of my friends nor Zane.

Class passed by in a blur with me thinking of ways to apologize to him. It was the worst day for me whenever I saw him and tried to approach him he would quickly go the other way or completely ignore me like I was a plague.

It was lunch Jenna was sitting with us, as usual, the bad boy was sitting at their usual table with Zane nowhere in sight.

“Hey, girl..” Val said coming over to our sit.

“Hi..” I mumbled he looked at me with a knowing look and I sighed.

“Hey, Jenna. hey Skylar..” Val greeted the two girls.

” hey, Valencia..” they both said.

” Jenna have you seen Zane..?” Val asked and I looked at him wide-eyed. He looked at me and winked. oh no, where is this going?

“Yeah..” Jenna said sadly

“Why do you sound sad what’s wrong..?” Val asked.

“It’s nothing really just that something is bothering him and he is not telling me anything. He has been so distant the whole afternoon and right now he is sitting outside by the tree all alone..” she said looking out the window I followed her gaze and saw him sitting down staring into space. I think I broke him pretty bad. I looked at Val who motioned me to go to him

“Are you sure?” I asked with my eyes and he nodded.

“Excuse me, guys..” I said getting up from our table.

“Where are you going..?” Sky asked

“I just need some fresh air..” I gave her a small smile and left. I hope Val will distract Jenna while I talk to him.

THIRD-PERSON

After Scarlet left the table Val began his destruction plans he made sure Jenna didn’t look out the window it was a tough thing but he was good at it.

He told the girls jokes and stories which had them giggling and laughing.

And on the other hand

” She fell for it she is coming your way act natural..” Aaron was spying and telling Zane everything through the mind link.

Their plan was for him to pretend to ignore Scar then act like he is broken-hearted and it was working.

SCARLET

“Hi..” said as soon as I got closer to him but he didn’t say anything.

The silent treatment I see

” Can we talk..?” I asked but still silent.

“Can I sit here..?”

” What do you want..?” he said his voice breaking at the end and my heart broke with it.

“I am sorry—-.” I began but he cut me off.

” Please go away I need to be alone. You said it your self I’m a bad person so you better go where it is safe..” he took out his headsets and plunged them into his ears and closed his eyes enjoying the music.

The music was loud I could hear it. But that didn’t stop me. if he was stubborn so was I, I will make sure he talks to me or I won’t leave him alone! To hell, if Jenna sees us I don’t care anymore. I sat Cross-legged across from him staring at him.

He opened one eye looked at me then closed it again. After a few minutes he opened again but I was rooted to the spot I didn’t leave.

Lunch was now over and both of us were still sitting there his eyes closed enjoying the music while me sitting cross-legged arms folded waiting for him to stop being stubborn and talk to me.

Class ended students started living but as long as he wasn’t moving I wasn’t going to move either. His friends came looked at us but after a few minutes, they left.

It was now almost sunset the school doors were closed no student was in sight only me and Zane were left.

I was tired, hungry, my butt ached sitting on the ground for like 4 hours. Dang, how can he manage to ignore me for so long?

well, I don’t care if my butt hurts. I came here to talk to him and talking to him is what I will do. I still won’t move might as well faint from hunger.

His phone battery had long died and he was now just sitting there like he was meditating.

” come one-man talk to me I’m sorry..” I said. I saw the corner of his mouth rise a little but I knew it was my imagination I was dead hungry.

I scooted closer to him and our knees touched but I quickly moved back because of the tingles that were short between us this time it wasn’t a strong electric current like last time but were still enough to make me fell things.

I sighed ” Look I know you can hear me so might as well start talking. I know what I said yesterday was a little out of line..” he opened one eye and raised his brow.

” okay, maybe a lot. I know I should not have said what I did. I shouldn’t have judged you without knowing you fully. I was just angry and thought that you took advantage of me because I was drunk…” He opened his eyes fully at this point and looked at me intently.

“I am sorry I know words can never be unsaid but if I could go back and erase what I said I would. I regret saying all that I said. You are not a bad person I have realized that if you were bad then you probably would have kidnapped me then killed me..” I said this and heard an inhumane growl.

huh, probably my stomach playing an orchestra dang I’m hungry.
