Sneak peak -
Xavier growled possessively, walking towards me like the predator that he truly was. Staring into the endless pools of his eyes, I saw as raw, primitive need took over every ounce of him and all it did was turn...

Chapter II
~ Scarlett Ruse ~
The next day came way too soon. I had no time to myself but that didn't bother me. Being surrounded by my loved ones, was something I couldn't get enough of. The sound of commotion, the feeling of belonginess that came from being around my family members was something I truly treasured.
In the three years that I was away, if there's one thing I learnt, it's that you won't come across people who want what's best for you. Your family, your pack members, and even your childhood friends on the other hand, might.
Back in New York, I had countless number of friends I used to hang around and chill with but none of them were willing to do something out of the ordinary for me unless there was some sort of benefit for them too. When someone went the extra mile for you, they would usually want something in return. Nothing was simply done out of love, out of kindness.
It was rare to come across genuine people. I had made two really close friends there - Sasha and Charles. Sasha was a human with mesmerizing grey eyes whereas Charles was a werewolf with black hair and red eyes.
Most people would think that was an unusual eye color, but amongst werewolves, it was common to find a wide variety of shades.
"Earth to Scarlett!" My best friend, Zeke, clapped his hands in front of my face. I swear he was extra as hell.
I blew out a breath, "What?"
"I hope you remember our routine honey." Zeke sassed.
I rolled my eyes rather dramatically, "DUH."
"Well then, let's get you all sparkled up, hmm?" Zeke announced before gently pushing me into the changing room, shoving a costume in my hands.
I closed the door behind me before looking at the costume. It was a black bodycon jumpsuit. I knew it was too plain for Zeke to allow us to perform in something so 'mundane' as he would call it.
Quickly changing, I walked out.
"Zeke, what's up with this?" I asked curiously, pointing towards my outfit.
"You'll see." He said, sending a wink my way before grabbing my hand. He led me to the mirror and gasped, "Oh honey, I look so sexy!"
I just chuckled. Typical Zeke.
"Don't worry, you look good too!"
"Oh, I don't doubt it. Now, let's get going." I stated.
Everybody walked out with their keys, finding their rides. I was going with Zeke on his bike.
