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

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

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

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.

(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

(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

(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

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 hint

BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 90
Scarlet’s POVOne second, I was talking to my co-worker, and the next, Alex had him on the ground, blood dripping from his nose.I froze, shocked, watching as Alex’s fist slammed into his jaw again."What the hell?!" I gasped, my heartbeat thundering in my ears.My co-worker—Ethan—groaned, wincing in pain, while Alex stood over him, shoulders tense, breathing like an animal ready to kill."Alex, stop!" I rushed forward, trying to grab his arm, but he barely acknowledged me.I felt anger bubbling in my chest. This was insane!Ethan wasn’t flirting with me—he wasn’t even touching me inappropriately.He was just helping.It had been an accident.I had been rushing down the hallway, completely distracted, and bumped into him.The cup of hot coffee in his hand had spilled all over both of us, and as I hissed in pain, he had grabbed my wrist gently, blowing on the burned skin to soothe it.That’s all it was.But Alex?He had walked in at the worst possible moment.And, as usual, jumped to t

SCARLET'S POVI walked into the company building, my usual calm mask in place, even as satisfaction burned inside me. Everything was falling into place exactly as I planned.And Ryan?He had no clue.I found him in his office, grinning like a fool, probably thinking he had saved his family.The blind trust in his eyes almost made me laugh.“Alex,” Ryan said the moment he saw me, his voice full of relief. “It worked. Laurent agreed to the deal. We finally have a way to save the company.”I kept my expression neutral, nodding. “That’s great news.”Ryan sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I was terrified, man. I thought we were done for.”You are. You just don’t know it yet.“I told you I wouldn’t let you go down,” I lied smoothly, placing a hand on his shoulder. “You can trust me.”Ryan let out a nervous chuckle, shaking his head. “I don’t know what I’d do without you, brother.”I forced a smile. “Neither do I.”—An hour later, I sat in my office, my phone pressed against my ear
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 88
Alex’s POVI wasn’t expecting to see her.But the moment Scarlet stepped out of the restroom, my eyes locked onto her, and something in my chest tightened.She looked pale.Too pale.Her usual fire, the spark in her eyes that always challenged me, was gone.I hated it.I stepped in front of her, blocking her path before she could disappear down the hall.“What’s wrong with you?” I demanded, my eyes searching her face, looking for any sign of weakness.She barely looked at me. “Nothing,” she muttered, trying to step around me.I didn’t let her.I moved in sync with her, cutting off every escape route. My body was too close, my presence too overpowering, but she refused to acknowledge it."Scarlet," I said, my voice low, almost dangerous. "You look like you're about to pass out."She exhaled sharply, her jaw clenching. “Move, Alex.”“No.”She stiffened, but I didn’t miss the way her fingers trembled slightly as she gripped her bag.I narrowed my eyes. “Are you sick?”She hesitated.For jus
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 87
SCARLET'S POVI didn’t expect to see Ryan the moment I stepped into the building.Of all the people I wanted to avoid today, he was at the top of the list.I lowered my gaze and tried to walk past him, but his hand shot out, gripping my wrist tightly.“Not so fast,” he muttered.I yanked my arm, but his hold tightened.I glared up at him. “Let go, Ryan.”His eyes were sharp, filled with frustration and something else—something deeper. “You’re really just going to walk past me like I don’t exist?”I scoffed. “Why shouldn’t I? You’ve made it clear where we stand.”He exhaled heavily, his grip still firm as he dragged me down the hall and into an empty conference room.I stumbled as he shut the door behind us, his broad shoulders blocking the exit.“What the hell is your problem?” I snapped, crossing my arms.“My problem?” Ryan let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. “You’ve been acting like a damn brat, Scarlet.”I stiffened, my temper flaring instantly. “Oh, I’m the brat?” I laughed
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 86
Ryan’s POVI adjusted my tie, inhaling sharply as I stepped into the lavish office. The place screamed wealth, with its dark mahogany furniture, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, and a crystal whiskey decanter sitting on the desk.The man sitting across from me looked calm, collected—dangerous.He had the kind of presence that made you second-guess every word you spoke.I cleared my throat, trying to mask my nerves. “Mr. Laurent, thank you for taking the time to meet with me.”The man—Laurent—smiled, leaning back in his chair. “Of course. Alex spoke highly of you.”My stomach twisted slightly.Alex had set up this meeting, had assured me this guy was the right person to help us. But something about him felt… off.Still, I had no choice.I folded my hands together. “As I mentioned earlier, our company is looking for a temporary investment. We need liquidity to stabilize things before the next quarter.”Laurent hummed, nodding thoughtfully. “I see.”There was a long pause a

ALEX'S POVI stood frozen in the doorway, my gaze locked on the sight of Scarlet packing her bags.My chest tightened.She’s really leaving.My fingers curled into fists as I watched her shove her clothes into the suitcase without even folding them. She was rushing—desperate to get out.Something inside me snapped.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” I demanded, stepping forward.Scarlet didn’t even look at me. “What does it look like, Alex?”Her voice was calm, but I could hear the rage simmering beneath it.I clenched my jaw, my hands twitching at my sides. “You don’t have anywhere else to go.”She froze for half a second, then zipped up the suitcase and yanked it off the bed. “That’s not your problem,” she muttered, pushing past me.But I grabbed her wrist, stopping her in place. “You’re not going anywhere,” I growled.She jerked her arm back, her eyes blazing with defiance. “Yes, I am.”I exhaled sharply, my patience running thin. “You’re acting like a damn child.”She let

Scarlet’s POVI saw it.The fakeness, the act, the carefully placed tremble in Sienna’s voice.She was playing the victim, like she always did.And Ryan, like the idiot he was, was falling for it.I clenched my fists, rage burning through me.I was done.I didn’t care who was watching.I didn’t care if this made things worse.All I knew was that I was sick of Sienna’s games.Before she could continue her performance, my hand flew out again, slapping her across the face.Hard.A sharp gasp rippled through the hallway.But I didn’t stop there.This time, my nails dug into her skin, scratching a deep line across her perfect, lying face.Sienna let out a shocked scream, her hands flying to her cheek.“You—” she choked out, her eyes widening in horror as she felt the scratch. “You scratched me?!”I let out a sharp, humorless laugh. “Oh, don’t act so surprised, Sienna,” I sneered. “You’ve been clawing at my life for years. Consider this payback.”Her nostrils flared, and for a split second,
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 83 KICKED HER OUT
SIENNA'S POVI watched Scarlet run out of the office, her shoulders shaking, her sobs barely contained.And I smiled.Everything was falling into place perfectly.Her reputation? Destroyed.Her place in the family? Gone.Her hope that Alex would stand by her? Shattered.I folded my arms, tilting my head as my parents sighed in frustration before turning to me.“I tried,” I said softly, my voice dripping with fake concern. “I really did. But Scarlet… she just wouldn’t listen.”My mother let out a heavy breath. “We should have known. She always had a rebellious streak.”My father nodded. “This is what happens when you let a child have too much freedom. Look at what she’s done.”I pressed my lips together, pretending to be heartbroken. “I’ll talk to her again,” I offered. “Maybe if I just reason with her—”“No,” my mother interrupted, shaking her head. “She needs to understand the consequences of her actions. She needs to fix this herself.”I nodded, biting back my smirk. That’s exactly
BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE CHAPTER 82 SLUT TAG
Scarlet's POVMy heart pounded, my breath uneven as I shoved Alex away. My body trembled—not from fear, but from the overwhelming emotions that burned through me.I needed to get away.I scrambled off the bed, fixing my wrinkled blouse with shaking hands, and rushed for the door.But I barely made it two steps before his hand wrapped around my wrist, yanking me back.“Let go,” I hissed, twisting against his grip.His jaw clenched, his eyes burning with pure possession. “You think you can just walk out after this?” His voice was low, dangerous.I struggled, refusing to meet his gaze. “This was a mistake,” I forced out. “Everything about this is wrong.”His fingers tightened around my wrist, and he yanked me back, making me collide with his hard chest. My breath hitched, his scent consuming me.“Look at me,” he ordered.I refused.He growled in frustration. “You still don’t get it, do you?” His voice was raw, filled with something darker, deeper. “You can try to leave, Scarlet. You can
