Battle Scars

1 Rejected

Scarlett's POV

I walked into the throne room in a dress the king told me to wear. He had invited all the packs to the princes birthday tonight.

"Scarlett come here let me introduce you to my friend!" I heard the king yell. I sighed as like 20 heads turned my way.

"More like friends." I muttered. I walked up to him and he introduced me to 4 people.

"Dad!" I heard Prince Deacon say.

I walked away as soon as the kings back faced me. I walked down onto the dance floor and a guy came up to me.

"Can I have this dance?" He asked.

"You may." I said as I put my hands on his shoulders and we swayed to the music.

I saw Prince Deacon look over his fathers shoulder at me. We locked eyes and he pushed his dad out of the way.

Deacon stalked over to me and the man dancing with me. Deacon ripped me out of the mans arms growling.

"Mi--." He trailed off as he got a good look at me. "Why the hell do I have a slut as my mate?!" He yelled.

I flinched.

"I Deacon Heart reject you who ever the hell you are as my mate." He growled at me.

Tears flooded my eyes.

I shook my head.

"I knew it. All you princes are the same. Judging someone off of who their with. You don't even get to know us girls. Your mother would be disappointed in you." I growled right back.

"You don't even know my mother!" He yelled at me. "She'd approve that I rejected you because your a slut!"

"I do know your mother because I protected her when she was pregnant with you. I was her best friend. I knew your mother like the back of my hand just like I know your father." I said trying to stay calm.

"Son, what's going on between you and Scarlett?" Deacons father asked while Deacon stared at me in shock.

"Nothing sir. I'll be taking my leave now." I muttered. I looked down as a tear fell from my eye.

"Scarlett what's wrong?" The king asked.

I didn't answer him. I just left the room. My heart breaking along with my soul as I took more steps away from Deacon.

My wolf whimpered as my vampire side cried her heart out. We were all shattered.

3 Days Later

I opened my eyes to a new day. I don't even remember going to sleep. All I remember is the pain of Deacon fucking some slut.

I got up and walked out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen.

"Hey Scarlett how are you today?" The king said ruffling my hair.

"I'm fine. Better than yesterday. You must think I'm weak your highness." I muttered brokenly.

"Hey you'll be fine. Maybe you might find another man." He said.

I just nodded and a chef put a plate in front of me. I picked at my food taking a few bites until Deacon came down the stairs kissing a blonde bimbo. I sighed shoving myself away from the table as the king yelled at his son. I walked out the door and went to the training grounds.

"Scarlett! Scarlett do not ignore me!" I heard Deacon yell behind me. I stopped dead in my tracks at the sound of his voice. Deacon got in my face.

"What do you want?" I growled.

"I just wanted to tell you how ugly you are this morning." He sneered.

"We both know that's a lie. Now move so I can go train the warriors." I snapped at him.

He growled lowly and walked away shoving my shoulder as he walked by.

I sighed.

He still had no idea I was his dads personal warrior. I was oath bound to his family too.

'Rouges in the north eastern part of the territory! Hurry there's a lot.' Someone screamed in the mind link. Instantly I took off.

I arrived a few minutes later just as 10 of my men went down. I stared in absolute shock. I was frozen to my spot.

I heard a loud growl and was tackled. I snapped out of it and snapped the rouges neck.

A few more rouges advanced toward me. I killed all of them in a few minutes. That's when the prince and his father showed up. They took an some rouges. That was until I turned in time to see someone snap the kings neck. I screamed in pain. Emotional and physical pain. I felt all my bones start to snap as I stalked towards the rouge who killed the king.

I was fully shifted and all the rouges and warriors whimpered. I snarled at the rouge and pounced on him. He dodged and pounced on Deacons back. Before he could hurt Deacon I had tackled him. I knew my eyes were red and I had shifted to my wolf form.

I growled at the rouge as I hopped off him. The rouge got up and we circled each other. He made the first move and pounced at me. He swiped his claw out and before I could react he caught me on the snout.

A low snarl rumbled in my chest and we went at each other. We clawed and bit until I had his neck in my mouth. I quickly snapped his neck as he clawed at my stomach.

I dropped his dead body and stumbled until I fell. My eyes closed and all I remembered was seeing the kings dead eyes staring into my soul.
