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.

    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

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.

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

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.

I kept a calm face and smiled in the same silly way that always threw her off. At least not yet, she didn't need to know my real plan.The air was full of talk. I heard laughter from a close table, which led me to them right away. Faces I knew from high school. Old school friends. Like they always did, most of them were dressed to impress and try to shine brighter than the others. Wonderful.Scarlet's frown got worse when she saw them too. "Wait a minute... Is this some kind of school got-together?" Her voice was tense with doubt.I pretended to be innocent by laughing softly. "No, not really." I heard that some people were hanging out here, so I thought it would be fun to join them. It's not dangerous.”Her face turned darker. "Fun? I don't believe that.

My limbs were heavy, useless, and I kicked and fought with everything I had, but it only seemed to drag me under further. I opened my mouth to scream, but all that came out was a bubble, disappearing into the murky depths. My heart pounded as panic set in.

The faces of the three guys in the room were hidden by masks. I didn't know who they were or why I was here."Who are you? What do you need from me?" Even though I tried to sound strong, my voice was shaking."Shut up if you want to stay alive," one of them growled in a cold and dangerous voice.My throat was dry, so I swallowed hard.

"Shameless,bitch. You know exactly what this is about," she snarled, her voice full of anger.When I blinked, I was hit hard. "I don't," I replied, raising my voice. "What are you talking about?What's wrong with you?""What's wrong with me?" she asked again and again, then laughed.

Never, never."I felt sick to my gut when she spoke, but I still didn't understand what she meant. "What are you talking about?I didn't take anything from you!"

I saw evil in their eyes, and I didn't miss the way they looked at each other in silence, like hunters getting ready to attack their prey."Scarlet," Alex's voice came through the fog of my growing fear. He stood between me and the guys and spoke in a strong, almost bossy, voice. "Don't move.Stay closer to me. I can handle this."I took a deep breath and nodded quietly.

I had to ask him, but the thought of it made my blood boil.I wanted to ignore it and act like it didn't hurt. It did, though. It felt like my heart was slowly being torn apart all the way through.

It was getting harder as the minute went on.“Are you really so shameless?” I shot back in anger. I could feel Sienna's anger coming from her, like she was about to pounce on me at any moment. Her eyes were red with rage. She looked at me with a glare that said it all: her arms crossed over her chest."Oh, please stop your shit. And tell me what's going on between you and Alex?" She snapped. Her voice was full of irritation. "Why did he leave with you? Are you playing a new game?"The bile was rising in my throat. What a jerk she was.
