Chapter 76: Found Me Crying

Scarlett’s POV

​Footsteps thundered behind me. Someone was running. Before I could turn around, a figure blurred into my vision and blocked my path.

​"Was it Ethan?" he demanded. His voice dropped, that dark Alpha growl beginning to hum in his chest. "Did that bastard do something to you?"

​I looked up at him, my vision blurred by salt and grief. I wanted to scream at him. I wanted to tell him that he and his brothers started this pain.
