Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 152 : Scarlett’s Immortal Soul

*Mila*

Over the years, Jared and Eliza worked hard to provide all the best for their pack, Midnight Sun. They called on me a lot to provide aid with anything magic or medicine related.

I was used to that by now.

There were always reasons to drop by Midnight Sun, even if just to check on things.

Lately, I'd been having these visions about particular members of Midnight Sun that had been on my mind lately.

I didn't plan to interfere, I just wanted to check on things and make sure....

“Miss Mila, I have a message for you from Luna Eliza from Midnight Sun," the messenger ran into my quarters and waved the letter around.

“Alright, let me see it," I held my hand out.

I ripped the seal and pulled the letter out. It was a request for herbs for the pack's new healing center.

I smiled and folded the letter back up. My own apothecary had stores of all kinds of herbs from the Dark and Light Realm.

I kept myself well stocked and had plenty to spare.

“I want you to bring a message back to Luna Eliza and let her know that I will be there in a few days and bring the herbs she's requested."

The messenger bowed his head and left again.

The most recent vision I had from a member of Midnight Sun was one that I felt I needed to check on.

For years, I'd been getting these visions and thinking of ways to subvert them. After Eliza was nearly killed in the Stone Circle, despite my warning, I knew it was better now not to share the visions.

Like my Aunt Helen used to tell me, interfering was never the answer. No matter how roundabout or vague I tried to make it.

That didn't mean I couldn't be there to help out when I was needed.

“Thank you, thank you, Mila," Eliza gushed excitedly, bouncing on the balls of her feet while I handed over the herb supplies.

“I see you've gotten the medical facility up and running." I took a look around at the small space.

It was a two-room office with a lobby and waiting room. The space was functional for a small pack.

“It's getting there. I wish we had a bigger space, but this will work for now. The second floor has a few rooms that I'd like to transform into operating rooms."

“It is a good start. You're going to need more herbs and someone who can make healing salves, and healing remedies," I reminded her.

“I know," Eliza sighed. “We have a few healers, but none as competent as you."

I smiled and placed my hand over hers. “There are few who are. But I know a few talented healers that I can suggest for you."

Eliza perked up and smiled brightly. “Could you? That would be great!"

“I can also provide you with a map that has markers for where you'll be able gather some of the most common, and rarer, herbs you'll be needing," I offered.

Eliza nodded. “You're a true life saver! Will you be staying for a few days?"

I shook my head. “I can't. But I do have some business to take care of while I'm in town."

Eliza was busy with organizing the herbs, so I showed myself to the pack mansion. On my way, I ran into Scarlett.

“Oh, Scarlett, you're just who I was looking for." I stopped her in her tracks.

She creased her brow and gave me a look I was all too familiar with. I'd known that look for years....

I smiled and shook my head. Instinctively, I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her. She stiffened for a moment and then hugged me back briefly.

“I'm sorry, but you remind me of someone." I squeezed her shoulders before pulling back. “It's good to see you, Scarlett." I nodded and walked by her.

“Wait! Why do you always look at me like I'm a long-lost friend? Who do I remind you of?" she reached for me and dropped her arm when I turned back.

I thought back to my old friend. She'd been there for me in times when I didn't have anyone else.

“I had a friend who has a similar life story to yours. She looked like you too. In fact… I'm starting to think you're a reincarnation of her."

Scarlett creased her brow and her eyes shone with confusion. “Reincarnation? That's not possible, is it?"

I chuckled and shook my head. “I used to think the same thing. I've been around a long time, but there are many things that I've seen that I can't explain."

“You mean, because you have magic?" Scarlett tilted her head slightly, curiously.

“I also have visions. Sometimes I see some pretty unbelievable things." I tapped the side of my head.

“And you've had visions of me?" She looked nervous suddenly.

“Well… I've had visions. And now, I'm willing to accept that there is more going on here than I previously thought, such as reincarnation. There are things that I will probably never comprehend."

“I guess there's a lot in this world that I will never understand," Scarlett agreed.

I smiled and took both of Scarlett's hands in mine. I squeezed them gently and smiled warmly at her.

“I truly believe that you're a reincarnation of someone I knew a long time ago."

Scarlett chewed her lower lip and kept her hands in mine.

“Can we… talk about it?" she asked, her eyes growing wider.

“Sure, let's go inside."

Scarlett and I went into the pack mansion and grabbed some coffee from the kitchen. We headed into the garden and sat at a picnic table.

Gardeners wandered around trimming hedges and watering flowers. We sat under an umbrella with the warm sun coming down.

I waited for Scarlett to open the conversation. This was a difficult topic to broach with anyone, finding out they had another life that they didn't know about. I knew it wasn't easy to come to terms with and I wanted to give Scarlett the time she needed.

For the sake of our past friendship.

“Who was she? And how do you know it's me?" Scarlett asked finally.

“Well, for starters, you have the same fiery spirit that she had. Whenever I look into your eyes, I see her staring back."

Scarlett pursed her lips. “Could I be a relative of hers?"

I sighed and shook my head. “I don't think so. See, her name was Scarlett, too. And it is her spirit, her essence that I see when I look at you. The two of you have also led similar lives."

“What do you mean by that?" Scarlett looked down into her coffee cup.

I smiled to myself, thinking of the first night I'd met Scarlett, my old friend Scarlett. I'd gone to a party at her high-end brothel and she'd given me some good advice about Soren. It was a long time ago, but I still remembered how she managed to make me feel like I was so special and beautiful.

She always had the best advice and guidance for me.

From what I understood, this Scarlett offered the same for Eliza.

“The Scarlett I knew was separated from her son and her son's father for a long time. They… it took Lee many years to track him down and when they did, it took time to mend the relationship between them all. Unfortunately for her, it took almost her entire life to be reunited with her son."

I paused and sipped my coffee.
