Howling Hearts

She smiled wickedly and snapped her fingers and soon I saw myself in what seemed to be a palace hovering within the heavens. "Hello Kim, have you thought about my offer?"

A man with long grey hair and a muscular body stood before us in a white robe and a golden leaf-designed crown. Kim shook her head and I could see him get angry at her denying his offer. "Please, Zeus, don't get upset. I cannot do what you need me to do and be successful with it but I have brought you someone much better"

"I doubt that the witch of misery cannot do a job diligently"

"I know my master but I have brought you a person who can bring you the results that you need much faster"

She continued and held her hand out to me to join in on the conversation.

I grabbed on and stepped forward. I bowed my head at Zeus, realizing that he is one of the gods.

"This is Saige. She hates Scarlet, who had destroyed her life from taking her parents love to taking her lover. She would do anything to reap misery on Scarlet just like she had on her." He glared at me for a while inspecting me.

"But she is only a wolf. And Misery isn't what I want for Scarlet, I want her to come to my son at any cost"

"And causing misery in her life as it is will make her run faster in the direction you want her to"

"Mhmmm" He said.

"Come to my office. Let us talk this through"

He started walking off in one direction and I looked at Kim.

"He's not going to wait for you. This is your chance. Don't let it slip from your fingers again",

she said, gesturing for me to go.

I quickly started following Zeus and walked at a speed, trying to stay right on his heels so as to not get lost.

Two big golden doors glided open before he even tried to lay a hand on them.

"Please sit, Miss Saige". He gestured towards two chairs across from the desk.

His office was decorated in marble and gold and truly looked marvelous.

He sat down in his chair and I just watched it all in awe.

"Miss Saige" He called me again and again gestured for me to take a seat.

"Oh yeah" I quickly hurried and took a seat in front of him.

"Let's get to the point, Miss Saige. I want Scarlet Alive and well. I, unfortunately, cannot interfere with myself, making things quite a bit harder.

So, today we are here to come up with a course of action. Now I already know about your past with Scarlet and know how much you truly hate her.

And in all honesty, I don't care for the child or Lucian.

They are just as disposable as the chair you sit upon. However, Scarlet has to be alive to marry my son, whether by forced means or by threats. I don't care" I nodded as he continued to speak. "Will you be able to... push her in the right direction" he continued.

"Yes, absolutely, I know how to manipulate her or where to hit her on her weak spots. I've grown up with her and I know how she thinks.

In some ways, she is selfless. And that is how I can target her to do just what you want her too... however you said my any means as long as she is alive" He nodded at my question.

"Then I am entirely capable of doing what you expect of me. I do, however, want to discuss with you about what I will be getting out of this deal"

He leaned back into his chair. Intertwining his fingers into one another,This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"I like you", he said, making me smirk. "Thank you not a lot, do" I continued.

"So what is it that you so desperately want that you are willing to betray your sister for"

"I want to be happy with Asher in his healthy form. To have Asher be my mate and that he knows it. For us to restart without Scarlet ever being part of our lives.

I also want my parents to forget that Scarlet ever existed and that they never took her in.

That I was their only child. She was never my sister and will never be.

Betraying her. HA. No just getting my revenge, which is an added bonus"

Just then a young man walked in with curly hair, tanned skin and green eyes.

He was sculpted like a god and easy on the eyes. If I didn't have Asher written in my heart, I definitely would've tried my luck with him.

Even in his panicked state, he still looked like a delicious meal.

"Father. She's pregnant." He said in a horrified tone. I looked at Zeus and saw him giggle a little.

"I know, son, I was just informed by my men" he said.

"Come, son, I'd like you to meet someone of great value to us".

I stood up and greeted the man. He had a firm handshake, making me know he was strong.

He didn't have a robe on like his father's more casual men's wear. With white tea and light grey denim.

"I'm Aiden", so this was the man Scarlet had to marry.

Looking at him, I would think she fell on her knees begging for him, but instead, here we are planning on how to make him be the one catching her when she runs. "I'm Saige", I said with a smile.

"So father, what's the plan?" He continued making as if I never existed.

Although it stung a bit, I've had worse. I guess all princes are douches.

"I have a feeling we don't have to worry about the plan.

This young woman here has it all figured out. You, my son, will just help her wherever she might make use of you."
