All Chapters of Claimed by two Alphas: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

~DIMITRI~ I knew I should have stayed inside. I knew I should have just minded my business and not give Scarlett more reason to hate me but the moment I saw Alexander's car pull into my driveway, I lost it. I stepped out of my mansion immediately as I stormed towards him. I stood in front of his car and I saw him sigh before he got out of the car. “What do you want now? I'm just here to pick up Scarlett” He told me and I glared at him. “You shouldn't be here. As a matter of fact, you shouldn't be anywhere near her” I muttered through cockchafer teeth, barely able to contain my anger. “That's not for you to decide, Dimitri. You don't rule her life and besides, she wants me here” He added with a smirk on his face but my expression didn't change. “I'm going to give you time to get your ass in that car and leave my premises” I threatened and he scoffed before his eyes darkened. “Who do you think you are? No matter what you do, she belongs to me and is always goi

~DIMITRI~ She hadn't even been gone for less than two hours and everything felt… empty. I let out a suggestion as I poured myself a drink, chanting over and over again in my head that this was for the best. Letting her go was the best decision and yet, it didn't feel like it. “Did you help her settle in?” I asked as soon as I felt Chase's presence behind me. “She cried all the way there” He informed me and I sucked in my breath. “Chase…” “She tried to act tough but I could see right through her. You hurt her” He said to me and I pursed my lips before downing the remaining content in my glass. “Now that's She's gone, I won't have to keep hurting her” I muttered as I reached for the bottle And was about to pour myself another glass when he grabbed the bottle. “Chase” I let out a warning growl but he didn't seem phased. “Why are you doing this to yourself? Why do you keep hurting her?” He asked. “Because this Is who I am, Chase. I keep hurting the women I care about in

~SCARLETT~ “Why are you both here?” I asked, voice barely steady. Alexander answered first. “Chase said you were going job hunting today. We wanted to make sure…” “I didn’t ask for protection.” “We know,” Alexander said. “We came anyway.” I looked at Dimitri, waiting for him to stay silent like always. Instead, he stepped forward, voice low and rough: “If we didn’t show up, you could have been hurt” I swallowed. “I wasn’t. I can handle myself” “I know but still” he repeated. Something about the way he said it , like it physically pained him, made my chest twist. But I held my ground. “I left to be on my own,” I whispered. “You can’t keep showing up like this and still trying to control me. Why did I leave then?” Dimitri’s jaw tightened. “And you expect me to stay away while you walk into danger?” “I expect you,” I said, voice breaking, “to let me live my life.” He flinched. Alexander looked between us, suddenly unsure whether to step in or step back. “

~DIMITRI~ The call came at 4:17 p.m. I didn’t need to look at the screen to know who it was. There were only a handful of people who had my phone number. I answered on the second ring. “Speak” “I carried out your instructions,” Maren said. Her voice was calm and efficient, but there was an edge of curiosity she never quite managed to hide. “Scarlett is officially employed. Part-time and training begins tomorrow morning.” I leaned back in the driver’s seat, eyes fixed on the café across the street. The windows glowed warmly, a pocket of light in the late afternoon haze. “Good,” I said. “She did well in the interview,” Maren continued. “Better than I had expected to be honest. She understood where she was wrong and thrived to do better. She asked questions. Listened. Took notes.” My fingers tightened around the phone. That mattered. “Some of the staff noticed the preferential treatment,” Maren added carefully. “I shut it down.” “I don't care about them. I want you

~SCARLETT~ I hadn’t opened the gift Dimitri had gotten me last night. Opening it meant acknowledging not only him but my feelings for him, and I didn’t want to do that myself anymore. I had wanted to call Chase and Cleo and tell them about my job but if Dimitri knew, then Chase probably knew. With that thought, I had gone to bed and was up early the next day for work. “Let’s do this” I muttered before leaving the house. The bell above the café door chimed as I stepped inside, and for a second, I just stood there. It smelled like roasted coffee beans and sugar and something warm I couldn’t name. Cinnamon, maybe. Or safety. The kind of scent that made you believe nothing terrible could happen as long as it lingered in the air. “Scarlett?” I startled, clutching my bag closer to my chest. The manager, Maren, stood behind the counter, her dark hair pulled back neatly, eyes kind but sharp in a way that told me she noticed everything. “Yes. Hi. I…” I stopped myself from ram
