The Girl With the Fiery Hair

Out in the Jungle

Scarlet heard a knock on her door, right at 9am. She finished brushing out her hair and looked over her outfit once more, a pair of skinny jeans with a black long sleeve top and her trusted dark purple converse. She grabbed her bags and walked out the front door. As she did Darren grabbed her bags from her and placed them in the back of his black Camaro. Darren was wearing more relaxed clothing, a pair of dark wash jeans and a maroon button up. Scarlet continued to the front passenger seat and set up her tunes to take over the car. Darren got in the driver's seat and started their journey, letting Scarlet have control of the tunes, she had a nice eclectic mix that was still beat heavy, making it very easy for the two to stay up and on occasion rock out to certain songs.

After a few hours of driving and a few stops for gas or more snacks. They drove through a fairly small town before turning down a road that was winding down into a deep evergreen forest of Southern Oregon. As the mansion pulls into view Scarlet gasps, "Oh wow, this place is gorgeous." A giant modern cabin is hidden within this open clearing in the forest, it is easily 3 stories high but still dwarfed by the giant pine and fir trees around it. As they get closer they see a few wolves and men standing on the porch and driveway, each in varying colors of furs. Scarlet gets nervous, "Do you think they will like me Darren?" She bit her lip and her cheeks started to turn pink. 

"They will, I called ahead and talked with the Alpha, don't worry you guys are not related. Your father was only a member of the pack." He chuckled, as he noticed that Scarlet tensed up when he mentioned the Alpha. She sighs, "Okay, this will be fine." She continued to fiddle with her bracelet in her lap as they finally park in front of the mansion. Scarlet opens the car door and steps out, all of a sudden felt a pull towards the house. 

She shivered and was approached by who she assumed were two werewolves, one has ash brown hair and easily 6 foot tall, the other was about the same height but with chestnut hair and a square jawline. "I'm Drake" the ashy one said, "and this is Caleb. We are the Beta and Head Hunter of the pack, the Alpha is up in his office, please follow us." They directed up the stairs to the front door, Darren followed closely to Scarlet almost ready to lunge if any trouble were to arise.

They reached the door to the alpha's office and the Beta, Drake opens the doors allowing Scarlet and Darren to walk in before he and Caleb followed. As they enter the Alpha turns around and looks Scarlet right in her emerald eyes and he gasps frozen in awe. Scarlet looks into his deep sapphire eyes and can feel a pull towards him. Darren notices the two both frozen and staring, oh well...looks like she won the jackpot, chuckling softly. Darren clears his throat, "Alpha Lowell, this is Scarlet your mate." When Darren said your mate both Scarlet and Lowell blink and looked towards Darren and back to one another.

They both responded "You mean, that's what this feeling is?" They both blushed and stepped towards one another. Lowell was holding back his urge to grab the fiery auburn woman in front of him. Scarlet was trying to not get too close to this sudden stranger she wanted nothing more but to kiss and hold close. Both were feeling such powerful and passionate emotions when Darren stepped in between both of them, "Before we need to leave the room, we have some important things to discuss." Lowell flashed a pout across his face before moving to sit down behind the simple desk, he gestured for Darren and Scarlet to sit. 

Scarlet was taken out of her trance and moves to sit in the armchair to the right of Darren, across from Lowell. Darren asks, "I need you to teach Scarlet how to be one of the pack, help her learn that side of her anyways, I feel that your pack would have the best tools in order to do so. You have a month."
