All Chapters of BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Alex’s POVShe barely looked at me.Scarlet shifted away the moment she woke up, curling into herself like she couldn’t stand being near me. The rejection was like a knife twisting in my chest, but I couldn’t even blame her.I did this.I was the reason she flinched when I reached for her, the reason she refused to meet my gaze. I sat on the edge of the bed, watching as she pushed herself upright, her fingers gripping the blanket like it was the only thing holding her together."I need to leave," she muttered, eyes locked on the wall."No." The word came out rough, raw.Her head snapped toward me, her expression unreadable. "You don’t get to tell me what to do, Alex."I clenched my fists. "I know."Her lips parted slightly, caught off guard by my response. I was always fighting her, always demanding control. But not this time. Not with this.She took a slow breath. "Then let me go."The panic hit instantly. My wolf clawed at my chest, growling in protest. I forced myself to stay still

Scarlet’s POVWalking into the company felt surreal.Everything was back to normal.The bustling employees, the familiar scent of coffee and paperwork, the air of authority my parents carried.It was as if nothing had happened.As if Alex hadn’t ripped this place away from them.But he gave it all back.I didn’t know how to feel about that."You’re here," Ryan said, spotting me first. His arms crossed over his chest, his expression unreadable."Yeah," I muttered, glancing around. "I just... wanted to see for myself."Ryan nodded, then leaned back against the desk. "It’s all back in our hands. Every last share. He signed it over this morning."I swallowed hard."Good," I said, though the word felt heavy on my tongue."Which means," Ryan continued, his eyes narrowing slightly, "you don’t have to stay married to him anymore. You can divorce him."My heart clenched.Divorce.That’s what I wanted, right?Freedom.No more pain.No more pretending that I didn’t feel anything when he looked at me

Scarlet’s POVSomething was wrong.I woke up and reached for Alex, but the space beside me was empty. My heart lurched, panic tightening in my chest. Where was he? My fingers gripped the blanket as I sat up quickly, my head spinning for a second from the sudden movement.He was still weak. He was still poisoned. He wasn’t supposed to be moving around.I threw the blanket off and got out of bed, rushing toward the door. My hands trembled slightly as I held onto the wall for support. The pregnancy was making me sluggish, but I didn’t care. Right now, all I could think about was finding him.What if something happened to him?What if he collapsed somewhere and I wasn’t there?I shook the thoughts away and made my way downstairs, my feet moving faster when I heard the faint sound of plates clinking.I stopped at the entrance of the dining room.Alex was there.He was standing by the table, carefully setting down a plate of food. He looked up and smiled when he saw me, as if nothing had ha

Scarlet’s POVThe wind howled through the abandoned factory grounds, sending shivers down my spine. The air smelled of rust and damp concrete, the dim flickering streetlights casting eerie shadows across the cracked pavement.I should have thought this through.My heart pounded as I stepped forward cautiously, my breath coming out in quick, uneven bursts. My phone was clutched in my hand, but there was no signal.Where was Alex?I swallowed hard, scanning my surroundings. Everything felt wrong.Too quiet.Too empty.I took another hesitant step forward, my stomach twisting painfully. The call had been clear—if I wanted to save Alex, I had to come here.But he wasn’t here.Panic clawed at my throat.Had I been tricked?I spun on my heel, ready to leave, when a sharp sound echoed behind me—boots scraping against gravel.I barely had time to react before more footsteps followed, surrounding me.My blood ran cold.Figures emerged from the shadows, their faces partially hidden under hoods and

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
