Raven / Scarlett’s POV

He was already looking at me.

For one brief, suspended moment, our eyes met. Something flickered between us—too quick for me to understand, too sharp to ignore. Before I could make sense of it, he looked away as though nothing had happened.

I couldn't move.

My phone rested forgotten in my lap while a single word echoed through my mind.

Employee.

There was nothing wrong with what he'd said. I was his employee, his healer, nothing more. That was the arrangement between us,

  • The Alpha’s Scarred Healer   Chapter 55: No Scarfs

    Raven / Scarlett’s POVWe left the brothel without a word.The night air met us the moment we stepped outside, carrying just enough chill to make me wrap my arms around myself. Alpha Dimitri walked a few steps ahead, his shoulders rigid, his pace clipped. He didn't look at me. He didn't say a single word.I followed in silence, my tote bag hanging from one shoulder, my phone still clenched tightly in my hand.I couldn't stop thinking about what Sunshine had said.Next time, leave your little redhead at home. You might actually notice who's in your bed.The words refused to leave me alone.How had my name even come up?If they'd been so busy with each other, why was Sunshine talking about me at all?Had Alpha Dimitri mentioned me?Or had Sunshine simply noticed something I hadn't?None of it sat right with me.By the time we reached the inn, the woman behind the front desk was absent and an unfamiliar face took her place. The lobby was quiet. We climbed the stairs without speaking.Ins

  • The Alpha’s Scarred Healer   Chapter 54: Not Her

    Alpha Dimitri’s POVThe latch clicked behind us, shutting out the noise of the lounge.Sunshine crossed the room without hesitation. "Can I get you a drink?""No."She didn't seem bothered. She poured herself one instead, set the second glass within reach, then crossed the room and sat beside me.Zedd had spent days hovering around Scarlett as though she'd already been claimed.He'd growled over a slice of cake. Fallen silent whenever she blushed. Watched her far more closely than I liked. No matter how many times I reminded him she was my healer and nothing more, the stubborn mutt refused to listen.I hadn't come here for her.I had come here to prove my wolf wrong.Once the physical need was taken care of, all this ridiculous fixation on the little redhead downstairs would disappear.At least, that was the plan.Sunshine sat beside me, close enough that our thighs brushed. Her hand found my forearm, her fingertips slowly tracing the fabric of my sleeve.A low growl rolled through my

  • The Alpha’s Scarred Healer   Chapter 53: You Only Live Once

    Raven / Scarlett’s POVMy fingers moved before panic could take hold.No. He's my boss.I turned the screen toward her.I had chosen my words carefully. No titles. No mention of Bloodfang or who he truly was. He had walked into this place as an ordinary customer and not as an Alpha. I wasn't about to reveal otherwise.Fire read the message, then looked back at me with one eyebrow raised."Your boss," she repeated, as though considering the answer.A small smile tugged at her lips. "If that's what you want to call him."I locked my phone and rested it in my lap, holding it a little tighter than necessary, as though it could protect me from everything I didn't know how to explain. My heartbeat still hadn't settled, and I could almost feel the memory of Fire's touch lingering against my skin. Instead of fading, the strange ache in my chest only seemed to deepen.Fire watched me quietly for another moment before her gaze dropped to the phone in my hands."Have you always been like this?"

I was his employee, his healer, nothing more. That was the arrangement between us, and it had always been that way. So why did hearing him say it leave an uncomfortable ache beneath my ribs?The Madame gave a soft, understanding laugh, already accepting the correction."Of course," she said. "We can arrange that."I kept my eyes on Alpha Dimitri's profile, watching him instead of the women around him, and quietly reminded myself to breathe.The Madame gave a low, knowing laugh. With a subtle motion of her hand, she beckoned toward the far side of the lounge.A woman appeared

  • The Alpha’s Scarred Healer   Chapter 51: Brothel Women

    Raven / Scarlett’s POVThe moment we stepped inside, everything felt different.The first thing that reached me was the perfume. It hung thick in the air, sweet enough to taste, layered over softer scents I couldn't quite place. Beneath it drifted warm laughter, the gentle click of heels against polished floors, and slow music that seemed to wrap itself around every corner of the building.Rich red curtains framed the hallways, their gold trim shimmering beneath elegant chandeliers. The warm lighting softened everything, turning the room into something that felt more like a dream than a place people actually visited.I slowed to a stop just inside the entrance.Alpha Dimitri didn't. He continued forward as though he'd known exactly where he was going from the moment we left the inn.I hadn't believed him.When Alpha Dimitri asked the receptionist for directions to the nearest brothel, I'd convinced myself he was only trying to silence her. An awkward joke. Nothing more.I hadn't expec

  • The Alpha’s Scarred Healer   Chapter 50: The Nearest Brothel

    Alpha Dimitri’s POVThe room felt strangely quiet without Scarlett.I walked over to the bed, unlocked my phone, and opened the secure line to Bloodfang. There was no point dwelling on what had happened downstairs. Work had been waiting long before we arrived at this inn, and it would still be waiting after we left. Reports, decisions, and problems that demanded my attention were far more useful than replaying conversations I could no longer change.The call connected on the second ring.“Alpha,” Petru greeted.“Give me your report,” I said.Petru never believed in unnecessary words, and his report reflected that. Border patrols remained stable. The smaller packs that had been testing Bloodfang's borders had retreated after our last display of force. Council requests had accumulated during my absence, most of them the usual disputes over territory, trade routes, and old grudges that seemed to resurface every few months. Nothing required my immediate return.I listened without interrup
