All Chapters of BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

ALEX'S POVMy tires screeched to a halt outside the prison gates, anger pulsing through my veins. The guard barely finished checking my ID before I stormed inside."Leave us," I barked at the prison guards as I approached my father's private cell - a privilege bought with money and fear.Something golden flashed in the dim light. I ducked just as a baseball bat whistled past my head, crashing against the wall behind me."Still sharp," my father's laughter echoed off the concrete walls. "Good to know prison hasn't dulled your reflexes.""Are you insane?" I straightened up, my wolf snarling beneath the surface. "Threatening Scarlett?"He moved faster than I expected, grabbing my jaw in a vice-like grip. His yellowed teeth gleamed as he smiled. "Do I need to remind you who you are?"I tried to jerk away, but his fingers dug deeper. "You're my son," he spat the words in my face. "My blood. Or have you forgotten that while playing house with the enemy's daughter?"The familiar scent of whi

Scarlet’s POVI couldn’t take it anymore.The humiliation. The coldness in his voice. The way he acted like I didn’t matter.Alex was pushing me away, but I wasn’t stupid. I knew him. I knew he still wanted me, even if he wouldn’t admit it. His scent still called to me, his presence still pulled me in like gravity. He was my mate, and mates didn’t just stop feeling overnight.I had to test him. I had to know if he really meant it.I took a slow step toward him, closing the space between us. His eyes flicked down to me, guarded, unreadable.“You don’t want me anymore?” I whispered, my voice soft, almost teasing. “Not even a little?”He said nothing. His silence only made my heart pound harder.I reached up, letting my fingers graze over his chest. His body was warm, firm under my touch, but he didn’t move. Not toward me. Not away.I swallowed hard, pressing myself against him, just enough to remind him of what he was trying to throw away. “Tell me, Alex.” My lips were just inches from

Scarlet’s POVI don’t know how I made it home.The cab ride was a blur, my hands clenched into fists on my lap as I bit my lip to stop the tears. You’re disgusting. His words echoed in my head, over and over, like a broken record. Each time I heard them, it felt like another knife slicing through me.I had fought for him. I had swallowed my pride, pushed away my anger, just to hold onto something that felt real. But now? Now I wasn’t sure why I even bothered.Alex didn’t deserve it.The apartment was dark when I walked in. I didn’t turn on the lights, didn’t bother eating. I just kicked off my shoes and walked straight to my room, slamming the door behind me.Sliding under the covers, I curled up, wrapping my arms around myself. Maybe if I held on tight enough, I could stop the pieces of my heart from completely shattering.But the silence wasn’t comforting. It was deafening.Every moment I had spent with Alex played in my head like a cruel movie I couldn’t turn off. His smile, his to

Scarlet’s POVI fought him.I kicked, shoved, tried to wrench myself free, but Alex was relentless.His grip on my wrist was a steel vice as he dragged me inside his apartment. The door slammed shut behind us, sealing me inside with the man who was no longer the Alex I once knew.Or maybe I had never known him at all.“Let me go!” I screamed, yanking at his hold. “You have no right to do this!”He spun around so fast I barely saw it coming. One second, I was trying to break free—the next, I was pinned against the wall, his towering frame pressing into me, caging me in.His scent surrounded me, intoxicatingly familiar.But I wasn’t weak.Not anymore.I lifted my chin, meeting his stormy gaze. “Who I date is none of your business, Alex. You rejected me. You threw me away, so stop acting like you care.”His jaw clenched, his nostrils flaring.He didn’t like that.Good.I wasn’t finished.“Since you don’t care,” I continued, my voice laced with venom, “let’s make it official. Break the bo

RYAN’S POVI sat in the dimly lit lounge, checking my watch for the third time in five minutes. The investors were supposed to be here by now. My fingers tapped restlessly against the table as I scanned the entrance.Where the hell are they?The deal was supposed to be finalized today. The funds would secure the company’s future. If this didn’t go through… No. It had to.I pulled out my phone and checked my messages. Nothing.The silence stretched. The weight of it made my gut twist.Something felt off.I signaled the waiter and ordered another coffee, trying to stay patient. I had already wired the startup funds they requested—a necessary step to secure the deal. Standard business practice, they had said.But now, they were late.Too late.I exhaled sharply and leaned back in my seat. My fingers drummed against my knee. I refused to panic. This was a legitimate deal. They wouldn’t just—My phone buzzed.I snatched it up, heart pounding. A notification flashed across the screen.Trans
