Roaming around the corridors every single day for the past month was being a bit of boredom, it was like there was nothing else to do in this place except just walk in these corridors which reminds her of a scene from a very horrifying scene of a horror movie.
The simple sound of her skirt whisking around as she dances is the only sound in the entire household as the people living in here are eerily silent.
No one to talk would make anyone crazy but not Scarlet, as she has been used to this type of silence even in her own house she shared with her Papa.
Her Papa has always been the pillar in her life; she never took a step out of her house without even consulting her Papa. He was always right in her eyes no matter what!
He had protected her from everything from the moment she opened her eyes and for that she was grateful. She never had to cry or whine for anything in her life as it was already ready for her in a sliver platter after all she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
******
Scarlet Sullivan was the most loved and disciplined child in the whole world. Always following everything her Papa wanted her to do, never raising a question on his decisions regarding her.
She had never had to step a foot out of her house to get anything not even a single pin as everything was within her reach in her own house. Her Papa loved her so much that she never ever had to pick a thread in her life as there was always someone to look out for her.
So, when her Papa came to see her one fine evening after a meeting announcing to her that it was time for her to get married and that he already had a perfect guy for her, she didn't even raise a brow.
Her Papa was always right!
Never knowing the love or friendship of a mother and never having any friends or involving romantically to anyone she didn't knew what she was to do once she gets married to some one.
Someone she never had even met not even in her own wedding day as all she had to do was sign a paper and then she was announced married just like that!
May be it was a hassle to call everyone out or set the day or meeting with the floweriest or the cake shop even the dress designer, that's what she said to assure herself.
And she was fine with the setting too as not being too good in front of a crowd she would've end up embarrassing her Papa anyway.
But she at least hoped for a wedding dress or even a simple ring in her finger to be put by her husband not offered in a box by some guy wearing a speck and smiling at her politely named Enzo Antonio, her husband close friend.
So, she did feel a bit awkward to wear it herself and gaze at something so foreign in her finger yet a life changing thing.
Then all of a sudden she was transported to a very big house in middle of nowhere and the only thing she saw was trees and empty grounds.
When her butler or moreover her he uncle Hans put down her bags in front of the house porch she was flabbergasted to know that she will be spending rest of her life in the house which looked more of a farm than house.
Her expensive heels made a click as she got out of the car and just when she took a step she fall face down on the ground with a broken heel.
Horrified at what had happened she looked around to see if someone saw her heroic fall down more specifically her own husband only to find no one and once again it felt weird like on her wedding day.
That's what they called it that day, her wedding day.
Hans was always a gentleman so he didn't laughed at her and helped her up slowly dusting off her frock she has chosen for the special day she would officially meet her husband.
It wasn't a rare occasion Scarlet fell down and Hans had witnessed many of her fall down that there wasn't a day she bumped on something or kiss the ground.
"Oh god Hans it's dirty, I can't go in there like this! What will they think?" she asks him horrified
Hans just kneels down and wipes her scratched knee which has some trickle of blood. She always gets injured easily and that was why her father was always careful when it came to his daughter.
Hans blows air from his mouth in her wound which makes Scarlet giggle like a little girl.
"It's just a scratch Hans I didn't even feel it, you worry too much. I'm married now leave it for my husband" she smiles his way
Even if he was the head butler of the house she loved him equally as her Papa as he has always been there for her with a handful of candies to make her smile brighter.
"This is the last time I'll be looking out for you, pumpkin so let me. Your future is waiting you behind the door so go ahead I'll be heading back now else it will be too dark for my old eyes to catch on" he smiles
"I'll miss you the most Hans" she hugs him tightly and pecks him on the cheek
"Take care of yourself Missy and don't forget to call" he pinches her cheek before getting inside of the car.
Scarlet stands on the road and keeps waving at the car till it turns and nothing can be seen except the smoke of dust the car made.
Braving and bracing herself Scarlet takes a step again only for her foot to remind her heel is broken so she just takes it off and carries her bag to the porch and just when she goes to knock the door her eyes lands on a fur of ball.
She pokes it with her finger making it yelp and jump up in air and then it starts to growl at her and before she knows what's happening she is running screaming at the top of her lungs as the fur follows her on his full speed.
Sweating and screaming she rushes to the open door of the stable and hides inside one of the stall. She holds her breathe as she waits in the corner of the stable for that fur ball to go away and before she knows she falls asleep.
The next time she woke up it was at the sound of wolf's howling, so slowing getting out of the stable she looks out of the stable's door to see it's already dark.
Patting her dirty clothes and combing her hair back with her hands she tries to go back to the house, she pouts as the little stone pebbles in the ground pokes her but stills she walks up to the house and finally reaches the house to find her bag isn't where she left.
"Hmm" she bits her lower lip in confusion as she looks around to find it when she doesn't her shoulder slumps and she knocks the door.
The door flung opens and an army of men walks past her mumbling and talking within them as they walks out, no one gives her any attention as they all push past her.
Scarlet finds herself revolving round in the porch as she is being push from right and left her feet that were already injured weakens but just as she goes to fall off face down strong arms catches her still.
"Boys!" the voice above her head booms and everyone halts
The boys more like men turns around and watch the man who has taken hold of her as she too peeks his way with a smile.
"Hi" she chirps waving a little
"Hello, you must be Scarlet" the man states and she nods
"Thank god you are fine! Where were you? We were going out to find you" he states before looking her up and down
Scarlet feels a bit uncomfortable as he does that so she looks down on her feet and try to pull her short frock just a bit while she rubs her foot with each other as she has no shoes on.
"What exactly happened to you?" the man asks
"I was kind of attacked by this fur of ball that was sleeping in here; he just yelped at me then growls like rawrrr... I was so scared that I ran and he followed me so I kind of screamed and kept running to that stable and then I fell asleep" she explains waving her hands all around
"And what happened to your dress as well shoes?" the man raises his brow in amusement
"Oh that I kind of fell down and broke my heels so...you know" she shrugs her shoulder
"I'm Warren Wesley" the man introduces himself trying to control his laughter
"Oh, okay. Hi, I'm Scarlet Sullivan" she shakes his hands
"It's Martin"
"Huh?"
"You are married to our Alp...I mean Adrian Martin that makes you Scarlet Martin not Sullivan" he explains
"Oh that's his name" she worries her lip
"You didn't know his name?" Warren asks shocked
"No, I was just..." she trails off blushing furiously as she didn't even know her own husband's name
"Well, now you do. So, I'll show you to your room but before that let me introduce you to the boys that um kind of lives in here...they are training under Adrian...
And while Adrian is away I'm in charge" he states
"He isn't here?" she asks in disappointment
She was sure her Papa said he will be waiting for her here, well guess she will have to wait more to see him.
"Okay boys line up, this is Adrian's wife Scarlet and she will be staying with us so um...be in your best behavior and most of all behave" he warns them but it is gone un noticed by Scarlet as she is busy waving and whispering hi to each and everyone of them.
"Your suitcase is already in your room, so shall we?"
"You have my bags, oh thank god I thought that fur of ball took it away" she grips his hands smiling widely and slightly jumping from foot to foot.
Warren just chuckles before pulling her inside the house.
Scarlet looks around the house which is lot bigger than what she saw from outside, she tries to find any type of pictures in the walls but find none.
The house is empty and cold with nothing but few couches and sofa thrown away here and there.
She narrows her eyes at that as she walks upstairs through long corridors to her new room she is flabbergasted to see that even her room has nothing but a bed, lamp and a small closet with attached mirror.
The room is lot smaller than back at her Papa's home. She rushes to the closet to find it small as well. She has to put some clothes in her suitcase, she sighs.
"So, I'll leave you in here take some rest and I'll see you tomorrow" Warren's voice break her thought making her jump a bit and she nods his way.
As he leaves the room closing the door Scarlet sighs throwing herself on the bed too tired and hungry.
Biting her lips she looks around her small dull room and already starts to miss her Papa. Even if she is tired she can't fall asleep may be due to the new bed and surrounding so she unpacks her bag and folding her cloths in the closet.
After she is done she looks herself in the mirror horrified she has been in that condition in front of all the people. She groans as she rubs the mud off her cheeks as well try to tend her wild hair.
Bracing herself she pulls out her night clothes and looks at the room to find there is no attach bathroom.
Once again she bites her lips and walks out of the room in search of bathroom or may be Warren so he can tell her where it is
******
"Lost again" Warren asks making her jump once again
"Warren, don't do that" Scar scolds him as she clutches her chest where her heart is beating fast
Even after so long she still gets startle whenever he sneaks upon her when she least expect him.
"Come on Missy you missed the breakfast" he drags her to the kitchen
Nothing has changed even after a whole month, after finding bathroom searching the whole house that first night Scar somehow was able to fall asleep in her new bed and home.
The very next morning she was awake with the knock on her door from Warren and she was told to join in for the breakfast only to see at least 20 men already in there digging the food like there was no tomorrow.
She was surprised at first but she got used to it eventually, she even made some friends with the men they may seem big and scary but were really kind and nice helping her to adjust in the house unlike her so called husband she has no clue about.
Once again she is greeted with the men in the house who are busy to finish off the food on the table.
She never knew who exactly cook the food, she knew nothing about how this household worked she just felt out of place in here.
She was thankful for Warren to come check in her once a while but that was it, she never saw any of them inside the house and it was really lonely and cold in here.
She wanted to ask and know so much about her husband whose name was Adrian but she didn't know who to ask or what to say to any one of them.
All she could do was just greet them whenever she saw them except that she had nothing to do or talk too.
There wasn't any house near her for her to go wander off to neighbor and make some friends but then again she never had any friends to talk to so she really have no clue how she will make one.
After the men left the house cleaning up their own plates and dishes she had nothing left to do so she once again returned back to her room like everyday.
Even back in her Papa's house when she was left alone she never felt so alone as Hans or one of her maids were always there to accompany her but in here she knows no one except a bunch of men who come and goes as wind.
Warren had warned her not to leave the house no matter what and if she wanted to go out to inform him, it's not like she knows anyone in here to wander off all alone.
All she can see is trees and lands.
After spending some more time in her room she sighs thinking to take a bath may be that will kill some of her time. So, with that thought she walks out of her room and enter the bathroom.
Taking a soak she sighs and closes her eyes in bliss and before she knows she is asleep in the tub.
Adrian turns off and gets out of his car, too tired from the long drive as well from all the events from last few months.
Now that everything is done he can't help but feel relief, he can't wait to soak in some hot water and finally get some much needed sleep.
He can sleep for the rest of the week. He will have to check on the progress in here from Warren after he is completely rested.
Walking inside his house he makes a beeline to his room taking off his clothes completely, he walks to the bathroom naked.
It's not like anyone is going to come in here and even if they do he won't mind after all being a werewolf no one feels discomfort about nudity in here.
Stifling a yawn he opens the bathroom door and pulls some towel from the rack before turning around to stop in his track.
Adrian drops the towel on the floor as he sees someone is in his bathtub.
"Oh my fucking God" Adrian swears
He watches as the girl keeps lulling in the tub between wanting to stay awake and completely fall asleep.
The water is already cooling off and Scar starts to feel chill from it which brings her back to consciousness.
Rubbing her eyes she stretches her arms and gets out of the tub turning around she smiles as she sees the man in front of her as she is still trying to shake the fog of sleep from her brains.
Bending down to pull the plug of the tub she slowly watches the water being drained off before she freezes and realize that some one is still in the bathroom.
She turns around abruptly and scream but Adrian doesn't know if she screamed because she saw him, or her foot lost the balance and she is slowly falling down.
Adrian jumps off in action catching her just before she hits her head on the tub and pulls her in his arms. They both stands frozen in each other embrace.
Scarlet watches the man wide eyed and breathes heavily while Adrian can't form a thought as he too looks at her wide eyes not knowing who she was and what was she doing in his house.
After a few second both became quiet aware of the state they both are in and Scar yelps pushing him away from her and trying to hide her body which he shamelessly devours.
"Oh my god turn around!" she shouts at him but he just stares on until Scar throws a soap on his chest
"Um...sorry" Adrian rush out of the bathroom closing the door
They both take a deep breathe rubbing their face.
Scar hurriedly wraps the towel on the floor and looks around only to realize she didn't bring any spare clothes.
"Excuse me" she calls out
Adrian holds his breathe as he hears her voice. He too pulls his trousers on before clearing his throat.
"Yes?"
"I forgot to bring my clothes...so...um...would you mind leaving the room so I can go and grab my clothes?" she asks him hesitantly while blushing hard.
"Okay, I'll be downstairs" he mumbles moving out of his room cursing himself for not acting fast.
He blames his lack of alertness to his tiredness as he walks to the kitchen to get a glass of water to clear his head.
Slowly Scar looks in the room and when she finds it empty she rush to her room fast and change into her clothes.
While brushing her hair she debates whether or not to go downstairs and face the man she never saw I the house.
Bracing herself she walks into the kitchen to find the man gazing out of the kitchen window.
She clears her throat letting him know she was present in the room.
Adrian turns her way and looks at her as she is now wearing some clothes.
"So, um...who are you? And what were you doing in my room?' he asks
Scar looks at him stunned and then it clicks who he is and she once again blushes profusely.
"Adrian" she calls out slowly and when he nods she smiles and him a little bit
"Hi, I'm Scarlet" she states a bit hesitant and when his eyes widens in realization she looks down on her feet feeling a bit shy.
"You...you are" he trails off
"Your wife, hello" she finishes his sentence.
"Fuck me" he curses under his breathe.
