Luna Scarlet

She Lied To Me

Luna

My eyes are on him, the stalker, the one who chased me around the airport in Texas two years ago. I thought I would never see him again. Now see! I may have shooed him out of my ScarlTw Academy. But how come I deal with it when the principal has chosen him as my coach for a year! Seeing him, I start remembering my brother's words. 

"I am telling you for the last time. It was not easy to get admission to Oceans Dawn Academy. Your elder brother, me, have done everything to enroll your name in that prestigious Academy. It takes six months to contact their department using every connection and contact I can for you. Everyone, I mean our kind, knows where my sister is going to complete her graduation. So, please don't make me lose my face again. Don't go to any fight there. You will be good and listen. Even better if you ignore everyone and do everything that will keep you out of trouble."  

- With love, Zudith Yuveen Wagner. 

"Luna Scarlet!"

My evil brother has pleaded with me, warned me, bribed me, and even blackmailed me so that I give him my word that I won't do something to trouble him this time. His way of blackmail is horrible. It almost makes me faint in my dance academy. "You better attend them all, or I won't give you a niece/nephew,"  

"Ms. Wagner?" 

No one will believe my brother, an infamous entrepreneur in the business world, can threaten me in this cruel manner. That man is literally on his toes to fight me and put his legacy in threat only to bring his unruly sister in line! 

"Can you hear me, Ms. Wagner?" 

For him, oh- no! For my Zen-Zen, I am going to break my devil's horns. I won't let my brother hurt his wife like this. 

Yup, I have decided. I am going to learn to be an imaginary werewolf. Isn't that what Zudith wants from me? I can't be so sure about it. I just don't get why he's so hellbent to make me get along with the witches or werewolves. 

"Ms. Scarlet Wagner. Are you here?" 

Can't I live like a human? 

I want to continue with my dancing and then keep on seducing the daddy Bridger next door. 

"SCARLET WAGNER! Are you listening to me?"

I suddenly feel like the whole world crash before me. Uhu-hu. Wrong. 

I blink my eyes and see my reflection on the white tiles, blinking backing back to me. White tiles! How do I end up on the floor? I frown deeply. Then I feel pain, an intense pain, on my entire body, especially on my nose. 

I hear footsteps running toward me. A pair of hands pull me up, making me stand on my feet. It is confirmed then. I weakly turn to look at the chair where I sat earlier, my mouth hanging low seeing, that lying on the floor too! 

The principal came to me, asking, "Scarlet, are you alright?" 

I mumble, "I don't know." And then, I wince, feeling pain in my nose. "Now, I think I am not," 

I raise my head, see him looking at me with concern. "Luther, please take Ms. Wagner to the infirmary. She has hurt her nose- and she doesn't look well to me," 

Wait? What? My eyes snap at the person who is holding me. 

Hands. 

Guys with veiny hands. 

I would have started talking about my sexy dream guy if I wasn't on the verge of my losing consciousness state. 

But. Just with the sight of that pair of big veiny hands and the familiar warmth and smell of wood mixed with the smoke of a cigarette enough for me to know who he can be. I raise my head, and I stop breathing literally. 

His muscle flex. 

He grits out, "Sure. Why not?"

Perhaps God didn't curse me with a delicate heart, and that's why I get to get away from a heart attack even after seeing him pinning me in my place with his vicious glares. But who will stop me from passing out at that state? 

No one!

She. 

She is here. 

I stand there by her bed, watch her unblinkingly. Should I feel bad for her or laugh at her face? I can't decide. 

It is not surprising to see her in here. It isn't the first time in the last two years my wolf has come in touch with me. 

He was restless last night too. 

Not only him, but I reacted the same way as well. In that dance academy, where my sister has tricked me the last day, to the dance teacher I met, she strangely has the same voice as the girl, I mean, my mate, has whom I met in Houston Airport, Texas. I have rejected her, and she has accepted it. Why do I still feel the connection with her? 

She lied to you. 

This makes my blood boils in anger, hearing my wolf, Lyon's laughter. 

Her name isn't Luisa Bratva, but Luna Scarlet. Her name is as pretty as she looks. Lyon screams out in excitement. He is happy with her lies. But the naive thing miss the part of the 'Luna' she has in her name. As I say it to him, he becomes furious. He growls and tries to take control, but I resist him and block him in my mind instantly. 

Now I understand why she becomes pale to see me in the principal's office. 

First, she stares at me like she has seen a ghost, and then she falls from her chair. When she looks at me again, seeing her in my arms, her eyes widen, and she faints on me! Does she think she can get away from me this way? How dare she mate with someone else when she still has a mate? Here my wolf has distanced himself from me, and there she was having fun with another man! No wonder I got the smell of a man when I was making my way to this infirmity. 

No. 

She has to pay the price for deceiving me. I will not leave for pulling this trick on me. She has the nerve to come here to show me she is doing great without me! You don't know what you have brought yourself into, my lovely mate. 

I walk to her side and pinch her cheek hard. 

I would have caressed her face if she wouldn't have mated with another man. Hearing her painful moan and red bruise on her cheek, I feel a kind of pleasure in my heart that I can't express, even to myself. This is nothing before the pain that she inflects in me. She has no idea how difficult it will make for her to survive here in my academy. 

Leaning down, I close my eyes and breathe her sweet smell. It calms my nerves unexpectedly, which is weird. 

I smirk at her, whispering, "Brace yourself, Wagner. Because after this day, you will never get a chance to faint on me. The game you started before, I am going to end it this time." With that, I turn my heel and march out of the infirmary.

On my way to the gym, I run into my sister. By her look, I know she has been waiting for me here bunking her class at this time. "Why are you here?" Ignoring her look, I make my way to the gym, which is nearly empty. 

"Brother, I want to join ScarlTw Academy." She stops on my way, says, "And you will join the class with me," 

My jaw flex. I glare at her, and snap, "No," 

She flinches, yet she refuses to step back. She raises her chin in defiance. "You can't say no to me! I didn't tell you anything when you didn't defend me there, brother. That b***h insulted me before you, and you let it go- " 

"Language!" 

I raise my voice at her. I am already disturbed, and now here come my little sister's tantrums. 

"No, you can shut me up with your anger, brother. If it was Archer in your place there, he would have destroyed that b***h for bullying me before him." 

I chuckle darkly to hear her accusation. "Go to your other brothers, Leena." I walk to the dressers, pull out my bag, and fish out my phone. "Better if I tell them where you take me instead of going to your piano class," 

"NO!" She shrills and pounces on me. "No, please don't tell them, brother, please. They will ground me if they hear I still didn't give up on my dream. I want to be a supermodel." She moves away from me and looks at me with tears in her eyes. Do I care? Nah! "I know you don't care, brother. But why don't you understand? I can't be like you five. All the things you all do frustrate me. I hate attending school just because I can't stand those boring lectures!"

I resist the urge in rolling my eyes at her. 

"I rarely hear studying is interesting in students in your age, Leena. Don't forget I have been there too. And one thing I noticed last night, you can't stand that dancer. Why don't you try other dance schools then?" 

I turn my heel to the corner to open all the windows. 

The air in there is suffocating. My class is in fifteen minutes. So, I have decided to do some exercise here, but Leena!

"Because..." She says through her teeth, "I hate to admit it, but she is the best,"       

I turn around and look at her strangely. "Is this bothering you?" 

My sister is jealous! Strange. Her face turns red. She looks embarrassed and enraged at the same time. 

"I am not jealous!" Her hands form into fists. 

"She... she has everything, yet she keeps turning down every producer in the film industry whoever approaches her with movie offers. I bet she is ugly with a big scar on her face. And that's why she doesn't show her face to the world," 

She sneers and snorts coldly to herself. She goes to deep thought and I read her mind in curiosity.

"Good for me. She doesn't want it! Fine. I will grab the opportunity for myself. I will learn from her, and then beat her in the Internation Dance Idol stage. No one will remember her once I take the lead."  

I look at her blankly. She leaves me speechless with the plan she has in her mind. Glaring at her hard, I growl, "I won't join any dance class. Don't you dare to think about it!" 

Ignoring her look, I turn my gaze to the window to open it. 

"Did you forget how she talked to you! If not for me, you should do it for yourself. And you like challenges, don't you, brother? She will be a hard nut to crack, you know. Then again, who can resist the charm of you, brother?" 

Her tone is suggestive which infuriates me to no end. 

Before I can scold her, my gaze land on the redhead who climbs down the pipe and sneaks out of the barrier and then takes off running toward the wood! 

Fucking hell!
