I wanted more of my favorite couple, so that will be taking up most of this chapter. Also, I was looking though my old Lunar Chronicles fanfics and an old plot twist caught my eye. So, I decided to add it to this one. Shippers of Scarlet and Wolf, you're going to adore this.

Levana walked up the grand staircase hidden in her closet. She didn't want to, but unless she wanted to go insane, she had to follow orders, no matter how unreasonable. In her family, it had always been like that. Nearing the door at the top, she stopped. "I have returned."

A sugar-coated voice called out sweetly, "Enter, Levana dear."

"Hello sister."

Wolf heard a knock, no, a tap on his door in the middle of the night. After leaving the ball, Cinder was in a rush to get them back into orbit closer to earth. Which was fine with everyone, as being on Luna freaked them out, especially Scarlet. But, sitting in his room only lit by the starlight outside, Wolf couldn't sleep.

And neither could Scarlet, apparently. She was the night time knocker and stood there in shorts and a long sleeved pajama top. "Hey. I couldn't sleep. May I come in?" She shifted, awkwardly taking taking a stab at being polite.

"Stars, why do you even ask?" Wolf pulled her into a light embrace before closing the door. Scarlet pressed her cheek against his when he turned to face her, having to rise onto her toes to match his height. Wolf automatically wrapped his arms around her, pulling her curvy, feminine body closer to him.

Scarlet let out a soft sigh and a light shiver as Wolf's hands slid just past the hem of her shirt to rest on her back. "I've been having the dreams again."

Wolf pulled her closer. Earlier, she told him of the nightmarish realm she visited in her sleep. Being a toy for a cruel Lunar child had snapped something in the young girl's mind, hurting her more than the hatchet had. He couldn't even find a way to comfort his beautiful red-haired beauty. And he hated leaving her to deal with it on her own.

"Wolf?" She pulled her cheek away. Her eyes seemed to glow in the semi-darkness. "Distract me," she said, her voice little more than breath.

Wolf watched her for another moment. If he had to name the most beautiful part of her, it would be those glowing eyes, the ones that could be a spectrum of colors from a light hazel to a deep green. Tilting his head slightly, he decided to simply keep her talking. "Scarlet, if you were to look in a mirror, what would you notice first?"

As a means of answer, she pulled at her hair. "What do you notice first about me?"

"I can never look away from your eyes once I make eye contact," Wolf smirked slightly as he added, " But, those pretty little lips are a close second."

Scarlet smiled before pressing her mouth to his for a brief kiss. "How odd. First thing thing I noticed about you were those grapevine eyes. Besides your appetite."

Wolf let out a low laugh before dipping his head and trailing his lips from the base of her neck down to her collar bone. Scarlet let out an adorable giggle before pushing him away and looking around his room. "Not big on decorating?"

"Nah," Wolf walked to his bed and sat down while Scarlet shuffled through his things. He didn't really care, and he thought the curious manner she maintained while doing it was cute. Eventually, she went and sat with him.

"Are you done with examining my things?"

"Not really. I'll finish later," Scarlet said with a sassy little smirk.

"Finally," Wolf leaned down for a longer, more intimate kiss Scarlet gladly returned.

Scarlet rested her head against Wolf's chest after she pulled away to breath and thought silently for a moment. Then, glancing up, she blinked a few times before biting her lip and asking, "Wolf... Would you mind if I slept with you tonight? I'm pretty sure you can keep the nightmares away."

Wolf laid back and pulled Scarlet down next to him. Wrapping his arms around her waist as she leaned back against him, he murmured into her ear, "Stars, I wish you would stop asking questions you knew the answers to."

Channary was alive. Sure, she was secretly living in her sister's closet, but at least she could breath. She could order her sister to spread rumors, form armies, marry the emperor's son, even. It was Channary who killed Levana's husband, the man who wanted her body, her sister's body, the man Levana still loved even after he ruined her life. It was power hungry Channary who wanted her daughter dead and no one was getting in her way. Or so she thought... She just hoped that wretch of a daughter hadn't grown a brain and realized yet. Or that clever ginger she wanted as a hostage. Or the unnaturally pretty stepdaughter of the only person she cared about. The person standing in front of her.

"Levana, the ginger escaped, didn't she?"

The woman standing there, normally an imposing figure, was slouching, trying to appear small. "Y-yes. I'm sorry..."

"Don't worry, sister. I have plans. Big plans. She was no longer needed. Now whoever she was will distance herself from the others and live a normal life, instead of dying. You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

"I don't know... She escaped with the runaway Alpha aiding Selene," Levana smiled weakly. "They seemed quite smitten with each other."

Channary sighed. "Ah, going soft again sister? In that case, no harm shall reach her. But for now, we have work to do. Now listen closely..."

Don't blame me for being sentimental, okay? I just had to let out my feels. Hoped you liked this chapter, because it's one of my favorites. You can probably guess why, the helpless romantic I am. I'll try to upload soon! Say "Bye-Bye!"
