Chapter 41: He Knew

Scarlett’s POV

​Alpha Ethan didn’t even blink at Liam’s outburst. He slowly tilted his head, his expression remaining composed.

​"You did call me," Ethan admitted, his voice terrifyingly calm. "You pleaded. You begged. And I told you I was too busy. Do you remember that part, Liam?"

​Liam’s jaw tightened. "But you went! You got her!"

​"I went for myself," Ethan countered, his eyes flashing with annoyance. "The moment I ended that call, your request meant nothing to me. Anything I did after that..."

His gaze shifted briefly to me.

"...I did for myself."

The meaning of his words hit like a blow.

"So yes," he finished, voice dropping colder, "I got Scarlett for myself."

​"You..." Liam moved to attack Ethan, but Alpha Lennox caught him, wrapping an arm tightly around his waist and dragging him back.

"Control yourself!" his father snapped.

Ethan let out a quiet scoff, completely unimpressed. ​"Why are you all so triggered by this anyway?" he asked, his tone laced with curiosity. His gaze moved lazily between the triplets.
