Chapter I

~ Scarlett Ruse ~

I lazily smiled at the scene in front of me. The rosy sky lying above the calm blue waters looked rather captivating. I sighed happily, it had been so long since I'd come back to Hawaii.

Breathing in the salty air, I closed my eyes. The memories of my jolly past rushing back to me. Taking in the fresh  breeze, I relished in the moment.

 I was born and brought up here. It was a convenient place to grow up in- green palms, cool breezes, happy faces, pink sunsets and chilly waters. Everything was so serene.

I had planned on living here as well, but life was so unexpected. I had to fly all the way to Manhattan to get a chance to study at Shimmer University. It was the best dancing university around the globe.

After finishing my three year course there and getting a degree, I decided to come back. I wanted to dance all night long in the pubs of New York with my crew, but my heart rested in this place. How I longed to be here, and now that I was, I just couldn't keep the smile off of my face.

Swallowed up in my own thoughts, I walked along the sea, the warm water splashing against my feet in a steady pattern. 

My chain of thoughts was broken when my phone started to ring. It read 'Momma bear'.

I picked up the phone, "Hello?"

"Hey sweetheart, I know you want to stay on the beach a little longer, but dinner's ready!" I heard my moms chirpy voice on the other side.

"I'll be there." I replied just as cheekily.

"Okay baby, you better not take too long." Mom said before cutting the phone.

Since I was a werewolf, dinner was mostly attended at the pack house. Nobody knew I was back except my parents and the alpha, which meant dinner would be eventful today. I had requested to let it be a surprise.

 Jogging towards my house barefoot, the tiny sand granules stuck to my feet. Thankfully, we had a water sprinkler in our garden which I rather enjoyed using .I turned it on and started cleaning my feet thoroughly. 

Once I was done, I walked in and grabbed a towel, dabbing it on my feet. Finally walking into the kitchen, I grabbed my fathers car keys along with the house keys. 

Slipping on my plain black sneakers while walking out of the house, I made sure to double check the locks on my way out.

Our garage had an entry from the outside. Pressing a button, I stood patiently as the shutter slid up. There stood my dads sweet ride- A Porsche 914. It was a vintage fast car, very classic and posh. It was his pride and joy. I barely got an opportunity to drive it.

I excitedly hopped in and drove off. The pack house wasn't that far away and I was at the front door in about five minutes. 

Since I was a troublemaker, I had decided to make a grand entrance. 

Parking the car a few meters from the pack house, I slowly creeped towards the back door with two big water guns in my hands. It was a summer night after all. Time to remind my pack members to have some fun.

 It's not easy to sneak around when a house is filled with werewolves who have heightened hearing skills but, after a few years of getting caught, you learn your way around. 

Tip-toeing forward, I twisted the door knob as quietly as possible and pushed the door open gently. I took a peak inside. 

Upon seeing no one, I entered entirely.

Running as swiftly as I could, I barged into the dinning area. It was huge, people scattered all over. Everyone was busy setting the dinner table. Preoccupied in their tasks, people didn't quite notice me there. 

Clearing my throat aloud, I brought my guns up. Some heads snapped my way and smiles broke out. Before anyone could say a single word, I was sprinkling cold water onto people's chests.

Screams broke out as the chilly water splashed onto people. 

Ah, joy.

"Scarlett Ruse!! You are so dead!!" I heard someone in the back scream. It was a voice I could recognize at any day. 

It was Rose, my dearest sister. I cracked a smile before running into the kitchen.

Rose was a crazy she-wolf, a fierce warrior. 

Anyone who could stand up to her, was a legend in my eyes. I would know. Being her younger sister, I always had to stand up to her. Let me tell you, it was kind of scary. She's a crackhead. Nonetheless, I love her to the moon and back. She's been through thick and thin with me. 

"You better start praying to the gods you pray to, because I'm coming for you!" Rose exaggerated as her voice followed me.

"Yeah, yeah, I love you too Rose." I chuckled whilst sneaking around the counter in the kitchen. 

We were spinning around in circles, trying to put obstacles in the path of the other. It wasn't long before Rose was frustrated. 

The next thing I know, she had leapt across the counter, and I was struck with her entire body weight at once.

She tackled me to the ground, snatching the water guns out of my hand and dumping all the remaining content onto my face. 

"SO extra." I mumbled, gasping to get some air in once she was done 'drowning' me. 

"SCAR!" Someone screamed from the crowd. 

Getting of the floor, I looked around as my eyes fell on a pair of yellow ones. 

"ZEKE!!!" I squeaked excitedly whilst running in his direction, grabbing him in a bone crushing hug.

He wrapped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me impossibly close. His embrace was warm and I savored it while it lasted.

"Welcome home." I heard my sister speak from behind. I turned to her and smiled before hugging her as well.

"I missed you, you little devil." She whispered in my ear.
