ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 189: Seduction Art
LOGANThree days that felt like forever ago passed, and the guilt hovering wickedly in my chest grew by the second, nearly tearing me apart. The next day after being caught fondling Scarlett’s body, Ashley swore that all was forgiven and forgotten as long as I promised that it wouldn’t affect our engagement or marriage. Since I couldn’t blatantly tell her that I’d lost feelings for her over a month ago and had no control over what I felt for Scarlett, I agreed to her terms and began to create a healthy distance between myself and Scarlett at work despite how much it hurt to do so. The worst part of it all is that Ashley turned down the contract after that incident and the breathing space I was hoping to get from her traveling was lost. She was scared of losing me to Scarlett in her absence and didn't care that a contract like that would boost her career in countless ways. I was still going over the events of the last few days in my head when a soft knock on my door distracted me.
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 190: Final Blow
SCARLETTAn idle mind is the devil’s workshop, right?I’ve been keeping myself busy round the clock since Ashley walked in on me and Logan, seconds before I’d have let him go all the way with me on what was no doubt their matrimonial bed. The shame and guilt eating me inside out endlessly and the only way to avoid thinking back to that night was to work myself until my mind went numb.I was so dedicated to that ordeal that I was working after hours, while I walked to the break room yo get some coffee for an energy boost, I realized that almost everyone and headed home asides from the security team.A tune was on replay in my head and I hummed while the coffee maker did its thing.As I reached for a coffee mug, a harsh to wind blew and the doors and windows of the break room were slammed shut. I nearly jumped out of my skin and the mug slipped from my hand, shattering a few inches away from my toes.“Fucking hell,” I hissed at the mess before me, rolling my eyes and cursing the weather

ALEXI’d just gotten home from work but I was being put to work afresh by my grumpy father who was pacing the room.“Are you done, Alex?” He asked me for the fifteenth time, I was keeping count.“No, father,” I answered in a clipped tone before flipping the next page of the property acquisition document before me.Apparently, there was a new investment opportunity that tons of other Alphas were interested in but only a select few were granted the first chance to do so, but if they didn't sign the contract early enough, their slots would be given to others in the waiting list.“I’m not pleased with Logan’s behavior this evening,” he hissed, reminding me again that I was his second and least preferred option for the job, “He’s more familiar with the construction line of business but he hasn't picked my calls, nor has he had the decency to respond with a text explaining why.”I had no desire to chime in so I acted like I was too engrossed in reading the contract to hear him.A few moment
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 192: You have no reason
LOGANMy blood was boiling with anger, I didn't know what I’d do to Ashley if Scarlett was lost forever because of her incurable jealousy.“Ashley!” I banged the door, “Ashley open this fucking door, now!” I groaned as I felt Scarlett’s lungs empty of air.I needed to get to her as soon as possible, and it was driving me batshit crazy.“Ashley! If you don't open this door in the next five seconds, we’re fucking done! I mean it!” I resorted to threats, and I meant every single word that left my lips.By now, I’d stopped feeling Scarlett’s pain, it was as though she’d given up on fighting and barely had a pulse. Since she had completely blacked out, she was no longer in pain, her soul was just on a different plane, so I was relieved of my former pain and could stand on my feet again.But that was of no use since the door was still impossible to force open. It was no doubt being sealed shut by a magic spell and the fact that Ashley was purposely locking me away to keep me from helping Sc

LOGANI wouldn't let her ruin Scarlett’s mood when she only just woke up, no way. Before she could blab any further, I matched towards her, picked her off the floor, and threw her over my shoulder. As I stormed out of the house with her, I tuned out her endless whining and tried to do the same with my wolf’s murderous whispers concerning her. “Scarlett is up, you can take her home now,” I informed my brothers who started to rush towards me once they spotted me. Neither of them cared to ask about why Ashley was kicking her feet in the air and warning me to put her down, they just hurried towards the house like their lives depended on it and I could sense that their undying need to put Scarlett’s wellbeing over everything else would be a problem in the future. But that was the least of my worries until Ashley was put in her place.Once I found a spot behind the house where we could talk without disturbing anyone else, I placed Ashley down. “I know what you're going to say but you le

SCARLETTNo one else at the breakfast table shared my surprise.It was barely 9 am and moving men were moving through the house with Logan’s belongings but no one was asking any questions. In fact, they all seemed oddly quiet as they chomped down their meal like this was a usual occurrence.Blake and Alex were particularly getting on my nerves because they’d been giving me weird looks since last night while we drove home after another near death experience, and they were still giving me the same odd looks.I’d concluded that they were hiding something from me and some part of me wondered if they’d learned of my recent involvement with Logan and were actively judging me for it. Just as that thought registered, Logan joined us at the table and all three men exchanged odd glances that made my heart drop to my stomach.Did they really know? Fuckk.I swallowed hard and tried not to jump to any unnecessary conclusions, forcing a chunk of croissant down my desert dry throat to drown out my t
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 195: I don’t share those feelings
SCARLETT“Drop me off at the first bar we see on the way,” I told the taxi driver as I got into the back seat.Luckily, I was dressed in a pair of joggers that had a ten dollar note and I had my phone with me, so I didn't have to add being stranded and penniless to my long list of current burdens. It didn't take long before we stopped at a bar and brunch spot and I paid the driver before heading in and going straight to the bar area.“Give me your strongest drink,” I told the bartender and he rose a concerned brow in my direction before nodding.“You drinks are on me, you’re the prettiest girl that's walked in here today,” he winked before disappearing behind the thick shelves of liquor.The only reason I didn't walk out of the bar after being hit on while I was in the worst mood was because I didn't have the energy or cash to do so, so I just mounted a barstool and allowed my mind wander as I waited for the drink.God, I felt like a home wrecking, backstabbing bitch.First, it was Ma
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS One: Mom is getting married again!
SCARLETTMom was introducing me to the 100th man in her life today and I wasn't even joking. If my memories were correct, then during the time I lived with Mom, she had changed men more than she had changed her hairstyle. It was something I had grown used to. It was shameful and painful to watch my mom go around from one wealthy and powerful male to another. She didn't care and there was no on or off switch about who she seduced, as long as their pockets were loaded. My cheeks stung as I remembered the slap and public embarrassment I'd suffered on high school prom day. It was from a friend because apparently, the man mom had gone on a month-long vacation with was her dad. And this was a friend who had confided in me that her happy family was falling apart because her dad cheating.It was the end of one of the most genuine friendships I've ever had. That night was also the last night I saw Mom. I couldn't handle her behavior anymore and I did that one thing I've always wanted to do.
