His Forbidden Scarlett One more secret
Chapter 45Scarlett's POVWhen I woke up, sunlight was spilling through the curtains.For a few seconds, I didn't move.I stared at the ceiling, still half trapped between sleep and the strange world I'd apparently stepped into last night.Then everything came back in a flash.The conversation.Christian.The truth he'd finally admitted. And by God, it was far from what I had expected.The creature in the forest and his eyes were beginning to make sense.“And you…are my mate.”I scanned the room, my lips slightly parted. Was I still in the real world?I closed my eyes and opened them again.My stepbrother was a werewolf.I let out a quiet breath.And that wasn't even the craziest part anymore.I was his mate.A laugh almost escaped me.Instead, I rubbed both hands over my face.This was insane. There were still a thousand questions sitting inside my head, all demanding answers at once.Why had he kept this from me? How long had he known? What did being his mate even mean? I didn't
His Forbidden Scarlett The keys to his ruin
Chapter 44 Scarlett's POV Christian was as handsome as a sin you knew you’d regret. He was tall, broad and deadly. He was everything I should have feared but I just couldn't. He was my first temptation and he would definitely be my last.Christian Marchetti was irresistibly dangerous.But tonight, my stepbrother looked nothing like the man I had always known.There was no coldness in his eyes. No arrogance. No impenetrable mask.He looked... vulnerable.My eyebrows crashed together as I stared at him, my heart tightening at the sight. My mind was still a whirlwind of confusion after everything he had just told me but I couldn't bring myself to care much. For the first time, I wasn't looking at the untouchable Christian Marchetti.I was looking at a man who looked like he was barely holding himself together.He sat on the bed, his legs apart and his head bowed, hands resting heavily on his knees.My mind was still spinning — werewolves, mates, my mother — it sounded like madness. Bu
His Forbidden Scarlett His darkest secret
Chapter 43Christian's POVI instructed Nino to leave alone. I wanted to drive myself.By the time the mansion came into view, I had already made the same decision three times.I would deal with Scarlett first.No—my unfinished business in the west wing.No.The marriage.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as the gates opened."Whiskey," I told the first staff member I passed, not slowing my stride. "My study. Now."I didn't drink it. I stood there with the glass in my hand, staring at nothing, bracing myself for a conversation with Scarlett I still didn't know how to have. What would I tell her? I couldn't even bring myself to face her after today. I went to the west wing first. I told myself I had to deal with it first, but deep down it was because I simply could not face her yet. He was chained in the same reinforced cell we'd used before, slumped against the wall, one leg still bleeding sluggishly where Clementina's bullet had caught him. He lifted his head the moment I
His Forbidden Scarlett A dangerous little promise
Chapter 42Christian’s POVMorning hadn't fully broken when I heard the knock. I was halfway through buttoning my shirt when the door opened before I could answer. Selene stepped inside, and I turned to look at her. She looked nothing like the woman who had nearly collapsed against me the night before. Her hair was pinned neatly in place, her dress was pressed, and her face was composed. Not a trace of the vulnerability I'd seen last night remained.“You look well,” I said flatly before turning back to my shirt.“I had a long night to prepare for this conversation.” She closed the door behind her and walked farther into the room. “I wanted to speak with you before you left.”If this was about the marriage, I didn't want to hear it. I'd already promised to marry Selene. The decision had followed me through the entire night, refusing to let me sleep. And beneath all of it was the knowledge that Scarlett still hated me. She had every reason to. I had hurt her, and the thought sat heavily
His Forbidden Scarlett My step-sister is my ruin
Chapter 41Christian's POVNino found me on the balcony outside the room that had been arranged for me.The night air was cold against my skin, but I barely felt it. Selene had finally drifted to sleep.I'd left the room immediately.I needed distance. Air. Something that would stop the pressure building inside my chest.I'd ordered a bottle of whiskey and within minutes half of it was already gone. The glass trembled slightly between my fingers.I tightened my grip."You shouldn't drink that."Nino dropped into the chair across from me.I didn't look at him."Do not tell me what I should and shouldn't do, Nino." My voice came out low and rough. My jaw tightened. My fingers curled around the glass until my knuckles turned pale."What happened?"I stared out into the darkness. For several seconds, I didn't answer."Selene's dying."Nino's expression changed instantly. The amusement disappeared from his face.Something heavy settled into his eyes. I poured more whiskey.My hand wasn't a
His Forbidden Scarlett Enough with the games
Chapter 40Scarlett’s POVClementina didn't let go of my arm the entire walk back to my room. Her fingers remained wrapped tightly around my forearm, almost as though she was afraid I'd suddenly turn around and run back to the west wing.Maybe she knew me better than I thought, because every few steps, my eyes drifted toward the corridor behind us.Toward that locked door, unable to forget the thing I'd seen on the other side of it.I could still see him.That face.Those eyes.The way he had looked at me.My stomach twisted.I swallowed hard, but the strange pressure in my chest refused to ease."What was that thing?" I finally asked. My voice sounded smaller than I wanted it to. Clementina didn't answer."Clementina, please." I tugged weakly against her grip. "I need you to tell me something. Anything.""Not now, bambina."The words made something inside me snap."Not now?" I stopped so abruptly that Clementina nearly stumbled. I pulled my arm from her grasp and turned to face her.
