Alex’s POV

I gritted my teeth, forcing my eyes open.

The dimly lit room spun for a moment before my vision cleared. Chains. Thick silver chains bound my wrists, wrapping tightly around my arms, burning my skin where they touched. I tested my strength, yanking at them, but the metal bit deeper, sending a searing pain through me.

A low growl rumbled in my throat.

Then I saw him.

My father stood before me, arms crossed, watching me with amusement. His expression held no concern, no regret—just pure satisfaction.

Hatred surged through me like fire in my veins.

  • BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE   CHAPTER 162

    The last few months had been a test of patience, resilience, and love. Alex did everything he could to mend the broken bridges between him and my family, yet my parents remained cold. They didn’t want to accept him, and I couldn’t blame them. He had hurt us, taken everything, but he had also given it all back. He had changed.The last few months had been exhausting.Not because of my pregnancy, not because of the nightmares that still haunted me from everything that had happened, but because of Alex—trying, relentlessly, to make things right with my family.I didn’t make it easy for him.Neither did they.My parents refused to even look at him in the beginning. Every time he showed up at their doorstep, my father would shut the door in his face. My mother ignored him completely, refusing to acknowledge his presence even when we met by chance.But Alex never stopped coming.Every single day, he tried.He would help around their company, he would fix little things in the house when no o

    Alex’s POVMy hands trembled, but not from fear—never from fear. It was the rage, the years of betrayal, the weight of everything this man had done to me, to my mother, to Scarlet.I had given him a chance.I had dropped the dagger.I had walked away.And yet, he still smirked at me like he had won.Like I was still that boy who would blindly follow his every command.Not anymore."Cover her eyes," I ordered, my voice low, controlled, but filled with an edge that left no room for argument.My uncle hesitated."Now," I growled, not taking my eyes off the man in front of me.He sighed but stepped forward, pulling Scarlet into his arms and pressing a hand over her eyes. She struggled, but he held firm."Alex!" she shouted, twisting against him. "Don’t do this!"I ignored her."You’re really going to kill your own father?" he sneered, taking a slow step forward. "Over a woman? Over some weakling of a mother who couldn’t even save herself?"My vision turned red.I saw my mother’s face in my mi

    Scarlet’s POVEverything slowed.I felt the sharp, cold steel of the blade slice across my skin, the warmth of my own blood seeping down my neck. My breath hitched, my body trembling, and for a second, I thought—this was it.This was how I was going to die.Alex’s roar shook the walls, his cries filled with agony. I wanted to look at him, to tell him I wasn’t scared, but my body was weak, drained from the blood loss. My vision blurred, my knees gave way, and I collapsed onto the cold floor.Then—chaos erupted.A deafening crash rang through the room. A body slammed against the ground, followed by the clattering of weapons. Men shouted, fists landed, and through my hazy sight, I saw someone charge into the room like a storm.Alex’s uncle.His presence was like a force of nature, his fury evident in every blow he landed. His men flooded the space, engaging Alex’s father’s guards, taking them down with calculated precision.My breathing was shallow, my heartbeat weak, but I forced my eye

  • BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE   CHAPTER 158

    Scarlet’s POVI kept my breathing steady, my body limp. My heart pounded in my chest, but I forced myself to remain still.I wasn’t unconscious.I had heard everything.Every word.Alex had surrendered. He had given himself up to save me.I wanted to scream at him, to tell him he was an idiot for sacrificing himself. But I couldn’t. Not yet. Not when his father was still here.The moment Alex was dragged away, the heavy silence in the room made my skin crawl.I felt his presence before I even opened my eyes.He was still here.Watching me.Waiting.I forced myself to stay still, though every muscle in my body screamed at me to fight, to run. But I couldn’t act too soon. I had to wait for the right moment."How pitiful," his voice finally broke the silence, laced with amusement.I felt my fingers twitch.A soft tap of shoes against the floor signaled he was moving closer. I fought the urge to react, gripping the cool handle of the dagger Alex had slipped into my hand before surrendering.His

  • BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE   CHAPTER 157

    Alex’s POVI had reached my limit.For years, I had let my father control me, manipulate me, use me. Even after knowing the truth, a small part of me had held back, hesitating to completely turn against him.Not anymore.Scarlet had nearly been taken because of him.He had played his last game.I gripped the steering wheel, my knuckles turning white as I drove straight to the prison. My beta had just informed me of what happened—my father had used his illness as an excuse to lure Scarlet into a trap. He wanted her, maybe to use her against me, maybe for something even worse.The thought made my blood boil.The moment I arrived, I didn’t wait for clearance. I stormed through the gates, ignoring the guards calling after me. My rage was a force of its own, pushing me forward."I need to see him. Now," I demanded.The guard hesitated before exchanging glances with the officer beside him."He’s not here," one of them finally said.My muscles tensed. "What do you mean he’s not here?""He esca
