BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE Chapter 1. BULLIED
(Scarlett's POV)I have never felt stranger than tonight. By my side, Ryan, my twin brother, stood confidently, a proud Beta of our pack. He looked like a mountain, erect and solid, while I felt like his shadow-trapped in this incompleteness, a werewolf who hadn't even felt his full transformation.Ryan had had a wolf for years, and his strength seemed to be fused with it. He was assertive and authoritative, all the things a Beta should be. As for me? I'm still stuck in the in-between phase ーnot fully human, but not fully wolf either. An Omega who hadn't even met her wolf yet.Even more painful, my other twin sister, Sienna, already had her wolf. The only thing that set us apart, besides her striking strength, was the color of our eyes. My soft green eyes seemed to fade next to her piercing blue. She was everything I was not ーstrong, graceful, and admired. And she had her wolf.My father, the Alpha of the Blackwood Pack, insisted I should come to this party. "It will be good for you,"
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE Chapter 2. CHEATED
(Scarlett's POV)The girls immediately paled, and the smirks on their lips were replaced with terror. Camilla, who had initiated the bullying earlier, swallowed hard, her bravado fading under Alexander’s glare.‘We didn’t mean—’ one the girls started to say, but Alexander interrupted.“I don’t want your excuses,” he snarled, his eyes flashing dangerously. “If I ever find you pestering her or anyone else, then you will be answering to me. Got it?”They nodded quickly, their faces as white as a sheet, obviously frightened.“Go now,” Alexander commanded, his tone as icy as the winter wind. “Before I make you regret it. ”He moved towards me and reached out his hand to touch mine; I did not move away from him, and there was a spark in his eyes that made me feel attracted to him. When our fingers met there was a jolt, an electric current ran through me and I felt as if I had been struck by lightning.Alexander helped me stand and he held my hand for a little too long. I looked into his eye
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE Chapter 3. WELCOME BACK
(Scarlett's POV)Two years later I was a totally different person. Living in New York was a new beginning for me and for the first time, I was able to shift into my full wolf form. My wolf form made me feel powerful and strong something I had never felt before. I was not the Omega who would always wear thick clothes to avoid being seen. Now I am strong and confident, I have no problem with accepting myself for who I am.Now, I am a student during the day and a model at night, trying to keep up with the new looks. The hoodie jacket that I once wore as my armor is now changed by clothes that flaunt my strength.At one point in the shoot, the photographer walks over, and stares, before fixing a light.“Scarlett, you don’t need much makeup – you are gorgeous,” he said with a sleazy grin, “How about a drink after this? We can discuss your future in modeling ーand some behind-the-scenes ‘wizardry,’ if you catch my drift.”‘Thank you for the compliment but I am here for business not pleasure.
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE Chapter 4. REVENGE
(ALEX POV)This prison was cold, not only in the physical sense, but in the emotional sense as well. There was hopelessness in the air and the sound of the metallic doors slamming shut only made my chest feel tight and constricted. I despised this place yet this was the place I came for a reminder of what was taken from me and why I was the way I was.I move down the long hall and the guards follow me, keeping a distance. They know who I am and will not be in my way anymore. When I got to the last cell in the row, I saw him, my father, the once powerful Alpha, now a mere shell of his former self. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, and although in the past he was a man with a well-built, broad chest, he was slumped over with the years he spent in prison.“Alexander,” he said as he rose from his seat, his throat feeling raw and unused. His eyes that used to be bright, authoritative now looked so dull, the effects of time and injustice. But there was a brief moment of pride in his ey
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 5 MISTAKE
Scarlett's POVI hated him—at least, I tried to convince myself of that. This made me angry within me each and every time I saw him with Sienna. But no matter how hard I tried to look the other way, there was always something lurking deep down inside of me every time he was around—an instinct that I wished to defy.I would not accept this. He wasn't my partner. He simply couldn't be.Alexander had been stalking me more than usual since I got back from my trip. His sharp gaze followed me wherever I went. And now, he had the nerve to complement me He was staring at me as if I was a different person.“You have grown up, Scarlett,” Alexander’s voice was rough, his eyes seemed to have turned almost black and I couldn’t decipher the emotion that was reflected in them.He moved nearer to me but I shifted my distance backward.I raised my eyebrows and snorted, looking at him in the eye. “I haven’t changed that much,” You do not have to lie to me, Alpha Alexander.”He again moved closer to me,
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 6 CONFESSION
Scarlett's POVIt was still very silent in the house and I got up from my seat to get some water from the kitchen. It was the middle of the night, and the last thing I thought I would do is run into someone, especially him.I tiptoed down the stairs, my head still spinning with all the events that have occurred in the recent past. Alexander had been provoking me in a way that I did not like to admit. I was still standing in front of the fridge and taking a glass of water when I heard a noise from the darkness."Scarlett. .. "The familiar deep voice made me jump in surprise; I turned around almost spilling my wine glass.“Alexander? What are you doing here?” I stammered, feeling my heart race in my chest. ‘It is past midnight, why have you not gone home?’He was leaning against the kitchen counter as if he had all the rights to be there and not as if he had just broken into my house. His shirt was still partially opened from before, and his chest, muscular, well-built, and very attrac
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 7 UNWANTED DESIRE
Alexander's POVI never intended to accept Scarlett as my mate. She was a pawn, nothing more—someone I could use to get what I wanted: revenge. As much as I could not ignore the attraction that my wolf had for her, I kept it under check. I was always the one who was in charge, always the one who was one up and I fully intended to stay that way.But last night. .. that kiss.It wasn’t decided, but as soon as our lips met, I felt like something broke within me. My wolf growled and pushed forward, wanting more, needing her in a way I didn’t think was possible. It was no longer about just keeping her mind off things, it was about possessing her. It was the only way of making her fall into my hands, of making her think that she was already mine before I dealt the final knockout blow.The sweetness of her lips still remained in my mouth as I went back to the guest room. I couldn’t help but smile to myself as I was sure that I had done a good job in provoking her emotions. I saw it in her ey
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 8 REGRETS
Scarlett’s POVI still could not believe it—Alexander had confessed to me, all the words he said were in my head. He had looked for me, he had mourned when I left and all these while I thought he did not care. Hearing him say those words made me feel something deep in my chest, something I hadn’t felt in years: The two words that are most closely related to the concept of hope are: hope.Was I completely wrong all this time? Could he have been actually caring for me this entire time?"Why were you with her?" My voice was shaking a little as I asked. I had to hear it from him and understand it."It was a mistake," he said, his eyes piercing into mine, raw and unfiltered. "A one-time thing that wasn’t supposed to happen. Sorry, Scarlett. I was scared. I was afraid of losing you and that you would turn me down. I thought you'd say no if you knew how badly I needed you."I started feeling guilty as I thought that probably I had been hasty in passing the judgment on him. Perhaps I had misin

BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 20 A TRAP?
Scarlett’s POVAs I walked down the hall to my office, I was still trying to cool down from all the chaos in my mind. My heart was heavy, and I think my face showed too much of how I felt. I was still tense from my fight with Alex, and every step made me think of the kiss that was still burning on my lips.Sienna was there when I walked out of the office. My twin sister, the perfect, favorite person of everyone. The way she stood and smiled while waiting outside my office made me feel even more out of place.As soon as she saw me, her eyes got narrow. "Scarlett? Is something wrong?" she asked with her head tilted. "You look like you've been crying."I tensed up and naturally ran my fingers over my face. "I'm fine." I lied, "I was just tired.Alex gave me a mountain of work to do, and it’s wearing me out."Unconvinced, Sienna arched her perfectly shaped brow. "Are you sure it's only work?You don't usually look this... stressed out." Her voice was soft, but I didn't like how it had a hi
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 28 PROVE IT
(Scarlett's POV)The only sound in the hallway was the sound of my shoes hitting the tile floor. When I saw Thomas leave Alex's room, I stopped short. His face was red and stressed, like he had just come from a fight instead of a meeting. He barely looked at me and brushed past me without saying anything or even giving me the silly grin he always had.He didn’t ask for a phone number. Didn’t say anything silly or flirty.Something happened.I frowned and turned my head to see him leave. His shoulders were stiff, like they were carrying an unseen weight. What did Alex do to him?Suddenly, I could smell a familiar scent: a rich, woodsy smell with the clear musk of an alpha wolf. It made my neck stiffen. I knew who it was right away, without even having to look.Alex.I could feel his presence around me like a shadow. My heart was beating faster, which showed that I wasn't as calm as I wanted to be."What makes you look at him that way?" His deep voice was quiet, but it was sharp enough
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 27 MY GIRL
(Alex's POV)Just outside the door, I felt jealous as I watched Thomas lean too close to Scarlett. His hand touched her cheek, and you could feel how nervous she was. The scene played out like a crazy nightmare, and I couldn't stop it fast enough.Scarlett was my girl.I clenched my hands together and let my wolf snarl to take charge, but I forced myself to stay calm. I had to make sure my feelings didn't get in the way. Not yet. I needed to carefully plan and execute my moves in order to finish a task. Revenge came first."Thomas," I said, and my voice cut through the air like a cold knife. "I think you should leave."As he turned, his grin trailed off for a moment, but he quickly covered it up with a shrug."Alex," he said, acting very politely even though he wasn't. "Just getting to know your gorgeous assistant.""She's not just an assistant," I said in a harsher tone than I meant to. Scarlett looked at me with wide eyes, but I couldn't tell what she was thinking.Thomas's grin got
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 26 ENEMY
(Scarlett's POV)It was very quiet in the office when I got there. Even though I was really hungry, I had to skip breakfast to stay away from Alex. Because of what he did, I wasn't ready to face him. He took something from me that was mine to give away for free, and he said it was as punishment. It was even worse that he didn't feel bad about what he did and instead of saying sorry, just came home to return the file. “Scarlett, dont be stupid and fall for his games or charm,” I scolded myself. Thats what I deserve it.As I poured the hot coffee into my mug, I held on tight to the coffee pot and thought about what had happened. Why did I let it happen? I hated how easily I gave in to his touch and how my body lied to me about how strong I was.I told myself off as I shook my head. I said under my breath, "No more, Scarlett." He was wrong to think he could control me. He did not want our mate bond to be known? Okay. For now, I'd play along with it. But I wasn't going to do nothing and
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 25 HIS AFFAIR
ALEX’S POVAs I drove to Scarlett's house, I tightened my hands because every ring of my ignored calls was making fun of me. She was very angry, almost furious. "How could you do this to me?" were her words from earlier, which were full of pain and blame. I think she was right when she said I was cruel. If I had taken her in anger and made her lose her virginity as a punishment, I would feel guilty. But I couldn't stand for her disobedience any longer. Scarlett wasn't supposed to be able to challenge me, but here I was, looking for her like a man who was crazy.It wasn't just anger, though. Something about Scarlett made me lose all the self-control I had worked on over the years. I tried to tell myself that I was just being bossy and that she needed to learn her place. But I knew in my heart that I had crossed a line. I could no longer lie to myself—Scarlett was the one who made me feel something I didn't want to feel. As part of my plan to get back at him, she was meant to be a pawn.
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 24 PART 2
SCARLETT’S POV"So you're not going to listen to me," he said in a whisper, running his hand down my arm and leaving a warm mark.Being in a hurry, I looked around the room quickly to find something to hold on to while my mind tried to come up with an excuse."I-I won’t," I stutter, my voice shaking. The pens moved when Alex slammed his hand on the desk. "You're always being feisty, aren't you?"He pushed me toward the meeting table before I could say anything. He had a strong grip on me that wouldn't let go, and I felt a rush of fear and excitement. "You think you can mess with me and get away with it?"He hissed. His face was so close to mine that I could feel the heat coming from him.I gasped when his teeth dug into the soft skin of my neck. He leaned down on me out of the blue. I got a shock from the sharp sting, which sparked something inside me I didn't know what it was—a strange mix of fear and desire. I had never seen this side of him before, but there was something exciting
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 24.PART 1
SCARLETT’S POVThe room was very quiet. It was the kind of heavy, almost physical quiet that made it hard to breathe. I could feel Alex's anger pushing down on me; his tense vibe was all around me. His normally cool and collected face had turned into something darker and more primal, and everything in me begged me to be careful."What did you do?" Alex asked me. He ordered with a low, steady voice that had a dangerous edge to it. His hold on my wrist got tighter, and I felt a sharp pain go up my arm. I bit my lip because I didn't want him to get pleasure from seeing me cry.I kept my face blank because I was determined to act like I didn't know what he was talking about. I tried to keep my voice calm when I said, "I don't know what you mean," but the small quiver showed that I wasn't really there.Alex didn't move his focused, angry look. His grip got tighter, and he looked at her with a scary look in his eyes. His uncontrolled alpha energy grew thick and heavy around him, smothering
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 23 MAKING HIM ANGRY
SCARLETT’S POVWhen I walked into Alex's office the next morning, I could still feel my anger from the night before. Instantly, when he looked up and smiled, my heart stopped beating, even though I was trying to hold on to my anger.His voice was warm and smooth as he said, "Good morning.""Good morning."I forced a tight smile on my face and almost crossed my arms. “Sienna said some... interesting things to me yesterday, I thought you should know.”He raised an eyebrow, and his eyes showed that he was laughing. "Oh?What did she said to you?""Nothing special, just the usual." I said, I tried to keep my tone relaxed, but I could feel a small edge in my voice. "In case you didn't know, she doesn't like it when I'm with you."Alex gave me a soft laugh and reached out to grab my hand, pulling me closer. "Scarlett, you should know that Sienna has worked here before you did. And plus you both don’t like each other much.” He gently squeezed my hand. "Don't let her bother you."I let out a s
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 22 WARNING
SCARLETT’S POVMy thoughts were mixed up in the afterglow as I lay next to Alex. My heart was still beating fast from how intense the touch between us was. Even though it was warm, an unpleasant thought kept coming back to me. Why did he insist on keeping us a secret? But was it enough? I could tell he cared by the way he looked at me and touched me. Was I enough to stand beside him openly, for everyone to know?The silence lasted for a while, and I could feel a little stress building up inside me. I bit my lip and looked at him. "Alex..." I started out with a soft voice to see what would happen. "Why do we have to hide the fact that we're mates?Why can’t everyone know we’re together?”When he looked at me, his eyes were pleased and warm, which made my face heat up. He laughed and brushed a hair off my face. "You look cute when you're mad," he said.His careless answer made me a little angry, but I held my tongue and watched his face. He leaned in close and gave my face a soft kiss. T
