Scarlett's POV

I stared at the screen of my phone, the name Silas pulsing in a rhythmic, mocking glow. Beside me, the air had shifted. The lingering scent of Arlo’s pine and musk, which had felt like a sanctuary just hours ago, suddenly turned sharp and acidic.

Arlo’s eyes were locked on the phone, his pupils blown wide, his nostrils flaring. The possessive streak of the Alpha was overriding everything else, the "firmness," the "honesty," the claim that he didn't hate me. He looked at the phon

  • The Alpha's Rejected Hybrid    Chapter 39

    Scarlett's POV I stared at Sam, the air between us thick with the scent of ozone and old parchment. The offer hung in the air, a shimmering, dangerous promise that felt like a lifeline and a noose all at once. To stop the decay, to stop the agonizing pull of a bond that was killing me, to simply be, without the war inside my veins."You're talking about erasing a part of my soul, Sam," I whispered, my voice trembling. "The wolf... she's the reason I feel everything so intensely. She's the reason I can smell the rain before it falls, the reason I can feel the heartbeat of the forest. You're asking me to kill a part of myself to save the rest."Sam leaned back, his expression neutral, though his eyes remained sharp. "I am asking you to choose survival over a slow, agonizing fade. Look at your hands, Scarlett."I looked down. My fingers were pale, shaking slightly, the skin looking almost translucent under the bistro's dim lights. The rejection from Arlo wasn't just an emotional wound,

  • The Alpha's Rejected Hybrid    Chapter 38

    Scarlett's POV Silas appeared, walking in like he commanded the space, his presence a heavy, grounding force that seemed to push back the noise, his eyes locked on me with an intensity that made my skin prickle."Scarlett," he said, his voice a smooth, low rumble that cut through the shouting.I stepped back, clutching a cocktail shaker to my chest like a shield. "Silas. Now isn't exactly a great time."He didn't blink. He stepped into my personal space, ignoring the frantic energy of the room. "That’s exactly why it’s the perfect time. You look like you’re about to vibrate out of your skin, and frankly, I’m tired of watching you suffer from a distance."I frowned, glancing toward the door where the struggle was still ongoing. "I can't just leave. I'm working.""The Mayor can find someone else to pour drinks for a few hours," Silas replied, his tone not suggesting, but deciding. He reached out, his fingers brushing my wrist. "Come out with me tonight. A date. No investigations, no pa

  • The Alpha's Rejected Hybrid    Chapter 37

    Scarlett's POV Arlo stared at the phone in his hand for a long moment, the silence in the bar thickening until it felt like a physical weight. The Pack Hunter’s voice still echoed in the air, the claim that my scent was fresh on a dead body, a body that had been killed while I was standing right here, staring into Arlo's eyes.He slowly lowered the phone and clicked it shut. The bewilderment in his expression shifted, hardening into something more intense, a mixture of frustration and a desperate need to reclaim control of the narrative."I wasn't framing you," he said, his voice low and vibrating with a sudden, fierce conviction. "I don't know how that recording happened, or who told you those things, but I wasn't framing you, Scarlett. I will prove it to you. I will find out who is doing this and I will bring them to their knees."I looked at him, and for a second, I wanted to believe him. I wanted to believe that the man I was fated to be with wasn't a monster. But then I remember

  • The Alpha's Rejected Hybrid    Chapter 36

    Scarlett's POV I didn't think I could feel any more disgusted by Arlo, but the universe always found a way to surprise me. I spent the hours following my meeting with Silas in a state of frozen shock, the audio recording looping in my mind like a death knell. Every memory of Arlo , the way he looked at me, the way he touched me, was now tainted, rewritten as a calculated move in a game of chess where I was merely a pawn to be sacrificed.I was at the bar, mechanically wiping down the mahogany counter, my movements robotic. My mind was a storm of rage and grief. I was already packed, I was already gone in spirit. All that remained was the physical act of leaving this hellhole.Then, my phone buzzed. I didn't even have to look at the caller ID to know who it was. The vibration felt like a parasite crawling across the counter. I answered it, not because I wanted to talk, but because I wanted to hear the lie in his voice."Scarlett," Arlo’s voice came through, clipped and professional, de

    Scarlett's POV I stared at the screen of my phone, the name Silas pulsing in a rhythmic, mocking glow. Beside me, the air had shifted. The lingering scent of Arlo’s pine and musk, which had felt like a sanctuary just hours ago, suddenly turned sharp and acidic.Arlo’s eyes were locked on the phone, his pupils blown wide, his nostrils flaring. The possessive streak of the Alpha was overriding everything else, the "firmness," the "honesty," the claim that he didn't hate me. He looked at the phone, then looked at me, his expression hardening into a mask of cold indifference."Well," Arlo said, his voice dropping an octave, sounding like a low growl. "Maybe it is Silas’s business then."The words were a slap. He didn't wait for me to respond. He didn't ask who Silas was or why he was calling at this hour. He simply turned on his heel and walked out of the kitchen, the front door slamming shut behind him with a finality that shook the walls of my small apartment.I stood there in the sile

  • The Alpha's Rejected Hybrid    Chapter 34

    Scarlett's POV I woke up to a silence that felt heavier than the sleep I’d finally succumbed to. For a few blissful seconds, I forgot where I was. Then, the memory of the previous night crashed over me like a tidal wave, the heat, the desperation, the way Arlo had filled me until I felt whole for the first time in months.I reached out instinctively, my hand searching for the warmth of his body, but the sheets beside me were cold. Empty.The realization hit me with a sickening thud in my chest. He was gone. He had fucked me into a stupor, claimed every inch of my skin, and then slipped away while I was unconscious, leaving me alone in a room that smelled of our combined sweat and the lingering scent of pine.I rolled onto my back, staring up at the ceiling, a bitter laugh bubbling up in my throat. Of course. Why would I expect anything else? I was a hybrid, a freak, a smudge on his pristine reputation. To him, I wasn't a mate, I was a release. A convenient place to dump his frustrati
