chapter 51

Scarlett’s POV Tell him to come here alone or I set this house on fire. The air left my lungs. Fire. It was always on fire with the people who wanted to unmake me. Rage coiled through my chest, but underneath it, cold and completely still, was something sharper. A clarity that comes only when everything else burns away and the only thing left is what you have already decided you are capable of. I looked at the thirty silent bikes and the thirty men on them and the car behind Priest and the yard between us. I did not reach for my phone. I looked at the knife in my hand. Dominic had taught me to throw in the training ground. Three weeks of nights after the pack went quiet, the same motion drilled until it stopped being a thought and became a reflex. Grip. Rotation. Release. He had made me do it until my arm ached and then made me do it again and told me that the only thing that mattered was consistency. I had been consistent. I threw the knife. It left my hand and crossed t

Chapter 52

Scarlett's POVEvery head in the yard turned.The headlight came through the tree line fast and low and the sound of the engine was singular and specific. Not the collective roar of a convoy. One bike. One rider. Moving at a speed that communicated something far beyond urgency.Priest's gun hand shifted."Don't," I said.He looked at me.The bike cleared the trees and came across the open ground and braked hard at the edge of the yard, the rear wheel sliding sideways on the wet grass, stopping six feet from the nearest Iron Veil soldier.Dominic.He killed the engine and sat still for exactly one second. Then he swung off the bike and pulled the helmet from his head and held it at his side and walked.Not fast. Not slow. He walked through that yard the way he walked through every room he ever entered, like the space had rearranged itself to accommodate him before he arrived, and the Iron Veil soldiers on his left and right did not stop him. They moved. Subtly. Without discussing it. C

chapter 53

Scarlet's POV Three minutes. I stood on the porch with Lilith behind me and I watched Dominic's bikers work. It was exactly what it looks like when people who are very good at violence operate without hesitation against people who are not quite sure what they have been told to do. Efficient. Not clean. There was blood. There were men on the ground. But targeted. Nobody who was not a direct threat was touched. When it was over, Priest was on his knees in the center of the yard. Disarmed. Held on both sides by two of Dominic's men. Dominic stood in front of him. He did not speak. He looked down at the man who had poisoned his Luna, who had engineered thirty years of destruction through the vehicle of his own son, who had built an entire operation specifically designed to outlast him. He looked at him the way you look at something that is finished. Then Lilith walked off the porch. Past me. Past Luca. Past her father. She stopped in front of Priest and looked down at him. Domin

chapter 54

Scarlett's POV.My ears tingled. I could feel my blood running cold instantly as the name which escaped Luca's lips replayed like a broken record.“You said you…know someone.” I repeated slowly.He nodded, “and she's the one.” Zara.That was the name that ran down his lips without a second thought.“Luca, we all heard what happened to Zara. You were there…I don't…what do you…”“Can you trust me?” He cut in calmly.Trust him? Luca was the last man I wanted to trust. He was the last man I wanted to have business with, but this unforeseen alliance sprung out and it's slowly driving us both crazy.We heard it. The gun shot. We heard priest take Zara out without a second thought. Didn't that mean she was dead?“Luca,” I called his name carefully, “is…is she alive?”“Wouldn't you like to see for yourself?” Her voice came from behind me.My head snapped towards the direction where the sound of her heels clicking the floor came from.I felt a lump in my throat. My brain tried to process the

chapter 55

Scarlett's POV•“It's done!”Zara yelled out immediately.My head snapped towards the mini laptop, my eyes trying to search for proof I wouldn't be able to identify even if it was there.“You took it down?” I asked anxiously.“Of course I did.” A wide smile formed on her face as she stood to her feet.“How much were you able to recover?” Dominic asked, his expression still plain.“Everything but the names. That was as far as I could withdraw.” She shrugged.“That should be safe enough…right?” Luca looked between us.I turned my gaze to Dominic and he had his fixed on Zara, no readable emotion on display.“Yes.” Was all he said, “good job.”I let out a sigh of relief, my heart slowing down and my nerves settling.I could finally feel myself breathe and only then did I realize I couldn't breathe well all along.I turned my attention to Dominic and he had began to walk away. He made his way towards Lilith, enveloping her in another hug.I let out a sigh as I watched them wrapped together

chapter 56

Scarlett's POV.The sound of the music booming from all corners was almost deafening. My neon lights reflected brightly off the stage as I watched the strippers perform while stacking glasses.Zara,in all her beauty as they loved to hype, danced seductively with a smile on her face, pretending as though this week never happened.My gaze fell on Luca who sat amongst the crowd, his eyes meant to be on Zara, but on me instead.I threw mine away casually, returning my attention to the glasses when one of the whiskey girls made her way towards me.“The Alpha wants his whiskey.”This would be the first time Dominic and I would be interacting since that night. I was guessing he sent for me on purpose.Picking up the tray, I placed Dominic's whiskey and glass on it, turned around the bar table and further into the clubhouse.My eyes landed on Dominic who sat focused on his phone. His biker members surrounded him, interacting and passing woman around.Before I could get the chance to place the

Chapter 57

Scarlett's POV.I stood in front of Mama Roux’s wooden door, somehow contemplating if I should go ahead.Before getting the chance to place a knock, the door opened up, the old lady standing right in front of me.“I knew you'd be back, I just wasn't expecting you so soon.”I tilted my head a bit, “you said I should come back when I decided to stop being careful. What did you mean?”She turned around and gestured for me to go with her, “come in child.”I closed the door behind me as I followed after her. The smell of burning wood filled my nose once again, but this time, it was mixed with herbs and a hint of honey.I took a seat on the wooden stool by the fireplace, my eyes scanning the drawings on the wall once again.“Would you like some?” She gestured to the tea cup in her hand.“I'm good.”She took a seat on the couch, her figure facing me.“Are you done trying to be careful?” she sipped from her cup.“What do you mean by being careful?”“Being scared that you'll destroy yourself w

chapter 58

Luca's POV.I rolled on my side as our heavy breathing filled the room. Zara pulled the sheets over her chest, her breathing uneven like mine.“How was I?” She asked, a smile on her face.“The best as always.” The words came out of her mouth with little to no emotion.Although I was occupied in the other place I loved to be in every night, in the arms of the woman that made my wolf go wild, I couldn't take my mind off Scarlett.“Are you…okay?”I turned to the side to see Zara staring at me questioningly.I forced a smile, pushing myself up, “yes, I am.”Sitting up straight, I picked up my pants from the floor.“You're not sleeping here tonight?”“Not tonight.” I pulled the pants over my waist.“Why not? Luca, we've barely spent much time together. If anything, you've been avoiding me like a plague.”I stood to my feet, turning around to her, “yet I'm here, aren't I?”“You know that doesn't count for anything with you. You're with Scarlett almost every other day, but that doesn't mean

chapter 59

Scarlett’s POV.I didn't want to go. The goddess definitely knew I had no intentions of going, but Dominic always has a way of convincing.“You don't want me staying here?” I asked, my voice calm.“It's too early to raise suspicions, Scarlett.” He said, tying the rope to his pants.I pulled my shirt over my head, proceeding to put my hair in place.He made his way towards me, his eyes fixed on me longer than I expected. His figure hovered over me like a tower, and I surprisingly felt safe.“Don't let anything he says tonight get to you.” His voice came out soothing.I tilted my head with a small smile, “he asked for a show and he got it. No one asked him to come sneaking.”Even while clouded by ecstasy while Dominic managed to pound every ability to think out of me, I still knew Luca was by the door.I sensed him and Dominic sensed him, but neither of us could care less.“You knew he might try to guilt-trip and manipulate somehow.” He brought his hand to my face, his fingers caressing

chapter 60

Scarlett's POV.“And where do I keep these records?” one of the men I assumed had dealings with Dominic's biker group asked.“Stack it with the other records. I want details on the Eastern territory by tomorrow. We need to make a stop there.” “Noted, Boss.”The sound of the door clicking shut after Dominic's worker walked out the room filled the space.I sat like it's time out while he flipped through his files, probably forgetting my existence.Somehow, I found myself having no form of activity whatsoever.The clubhouse usually opened late at night and everyone was free to go about their day during the day, but I for one had never really had activities…except when Luca had something for me.I really had no life outside that man.“So,” Dominic's voice echoed, pulling me out of my thoughts, “what do you have for me?”I squinted my eyes a bit as I locked eyes with him. His expression was unreadable as usual, but I can tell he was curious to know what happened last night with Luca.“It'
