SCARLETTToday was my first day of training, and I had a feeling I’d soon crawl back into my shell.“She has to start with basic moves,” Logan pointed out to Blake who was already lining up weapons for me.“I’m pretty sure she can throw a lousy blow and kick,” Blake argued, “What she needs to learn is how to use a Death Star so she can defend herself properly.”I perked up at the mention of the death star, every action movie I’d watched with a bad ass heroine flexing them and dropping dead bodies in her wake effortlessly flashing through my mind’s eye.A grin was covering my face in no time, “I totally agree with Blake, let’s start with the Death Star, I can brush up on lousy kicks and blows when I’ve mastered that.”Logan shook his head, but before he could speak, Alex cut in.“If you don’t learn proper coordination before handling a death star, all three of us will be your first victims and it won’t be injuries,” he used his thumb to draw a line across his neck, “It’ll be straight u
SCARLETTAfter the heated sexual encounter my first training session had ended in, it had suddenly become something I looked forward to.In fact, I and the guys had been attending gym sessions every morning before work to build my stamina and I loved the insanely hot sight of them covered in sweat while bare chested. It was all the motivation I needed to keep training and I realized that it made it easier for me to power through having sex with all three of them.But I wanted much more than relentless fucking with them, I wanted real bonding experiences that would further cement our relationship.“We should all have dinner together sometime,” I said, tipping the bottle of wine into my glass at the dining table.All three men looked away from their plates and at me, confusion clear in how they all scrunched their noses and corked their brows.“We’re having dinner together right now, we’ve been doing that since we moved back in here,” Logan pointed out the obvious and his brothers nodde
SCARLETTThree bouquets were waiting for me as I stepped into the limousine and I couldn’t help the tears that gathered in my eyes as my heart swole a couple of sizes larger.When I looked away from the bouquets and at the three handsomely suited men who weee staring at me like their jaws were sweeping the floor, my heart suddenly felt like it was on the verge of exploding.I’d told them to wait in the car before they could see me in my full outfit, so the surprise and awe in their eyes was expected but it still threw me off guard.“You’re a fucking vision, Scarlett,” Alex found his words first, reaching out to pull me into his laps while his brothers’ gazes followed my every move.I smiled at the compliment, the matching grin on his face nearly blinding me because of how unbelievably gorgeous he was in his dark blue suit.“He’s not wrong, you had every one of us speechless and mind blown the second you walked in,” Logan who was seated on Alex’s left took my hand in his and kissed it
SCARLETTBlake had been whining for approximately ten minutes now.Why? Because Alex and I had just broken the news about him officially being my mate the next morning at breakfast and he was being a typical last born about it. I found it really funny and so did Logan, but Alex didn’t share that opinion because he and Blake were evil twins in another dimension and lived off bickering.“So the moon goddess is being picky? She’s handing out mate bonds based on age differences? I find that pretty weird and unfair,” Blake picked at his croissant and threw the crumb at Alex while Logan and I stifled laughter.“Get over yourself, weirdo. It’s not some competition where it matters whose bond comes first or last, either way, we all know that the seer wasn’t lying,” Alex defended seriously, managing to catch the crumb before it hit him and throwing it back at Blake.Easily, Blake caught the crumb and threw it back.“Oh please, we all know you’d be just as dramatic if I developed the bond befor
BLAKE I looked Wathoni’s limp and injury ridden body over again.The only reason I could believe that she wasn’t a sick imagination of mine was because Hyacinth was present and her hands roaming around her bloodied body was proof that she was real. I shuffled on my feet helplessly as I watched her examine Wathoni closely while chanting.A part of me urged me to yank her off my office couch and throw her into the nearest dumpster and leave her for dead.But how could I? I wasn’t a heartless monster and she was clearly near death’s gate and she’d come to me when she could’ve gone anywhere else. She must’ve known that coming to a person who was tagged as a traitor would mean putting her life that was on the verge of ending in more danger, but she’d looked past that and come to me for help anyways.That showed just how desperate and endangered she was. As well as how much she trusted that I had some good in me.I couldn’t turn her away knowing that. Right?“She’s alive,” Hyacinth announ
BLAKEWathoni got on her feet while my brain went dead from the questions that had been hurled at me.For some reason, Scarlett’s eyes followed her movement closely until she stopped right beside me and then a frown caused her forehead to form displeased folds. And those soft and beautiful eyes of hers were full of what could only be jealousy as she looked Wathoni over from head to toe.Granted, Wathoni was a looker with generous curves and caramel skin but she didn’t compare to Scarlett’s otherworldly beauty in any way, I hope she knew that.“I’m Wathoni,” she introduced herself nervously, rubbing her hands along her battered clothes, “I know you all have every reason to be mad at Blake, but he doesn’t deserve to take the heat alone when I’m the one that dragged him into this mess by coming here for help,” she explained calmly.Logan walked into the office and so did Alex and Scarlett before shutting the door behind them.“Saying your name doesn’t explain a thing,” Logan pointed out,
SCARLETTI didn’t trust this bitch, and it had nothing to do with the sting of knowing she’d been with a man that rightfully belonged to me.However, the guys seemed interested in what she was willing to offer up, so I held back from voicing out my distrust to avoid looking like a tyrant in our relationship. But that didn’t mean I couldn’t give her the stink eye every now and then to remind her that she couldn’t fool me for a second.“Well? Don’t just dangle a goody bag in front of us and then keep quiet,” Alex said, seeming just as irritated with her as I was, “tell us everything you know, right now.”She glanced at Blake, as if hoping that he would back her up or something and that pricked me in all the wrong places. He wasn’t hers anymore and she had no right to have crawled to him, talk less of enraging him with information she purposely withheld and then looking to him for shelter afterwards.“I’ll write it all down, just give me a minute,” she replied, her feigned apologetic loo
SCARLETTDon’t trust her, my wolf whispered for the umpteenth time.She didn’t have to remind me so often, I had no plans of ever trusting this slimy snake of a woman. I was watching her ramble off more details about the Shahato army to the guys in the conference room of Logan’s company, but I didn’t trust or believe a word that left her lips.I wasn’t hard to convince on a normal day, but when my guts were constantly rejecting a a person, I knew there had to be something shady about them and I’d rarely ever been wrong about that all my life.Right now, I wasn’t voicing those concerns because the guys seemed seriously interested in what she was saying since they’d confirmed that the information about the hideout wasn’t a lie.“You’re certain this is the day when their forces are weakest?” Blake asked, motioning to the scribbling on the white board.Wathoni nodded eagerly, stepping closer him and annoying me in the process.“Yes, every Thursday about half of Lucas’s army are sent out o
