Scarlett
Chapter 38
Scarlett’s POVمحلI stepped into the dining area, finding Lucian waiting at the table, alone. Stasia was truly gone, just as he’d promised. I felt a strange mix of relief and pressure all at once.“You look good,” he said, his voice warm and genuine. My heart betrayed me, leaping at the simple compliment, though I forced myself to remain neutral, trying to keep my emotions in check. But the mate bond’s pull was undeniable, and the longer I stayed with him and the others, the more it felt like a force working on its own, beyond my control. Last night, I’d slept deeply, wrapped in Lucian’s scent, that rich pinewood I was now learning to crave. I knew each of their scents by heart–Maxwell’s was earthy, sandalwood, and Clay’s held the warmth of cinnamon. The thought made me curious about my own scent, wondering what it meant to them, but I kept those thoughts to myself.“Please, relax, Scarlett,” he said gently, noticing my unease. “I promise, I won’t hurt you. I’ve made my choice. I’ve accepted you as my mate, and I won’t go back on that. So… please stop asking me to reject you. It’s no longer an option.”I looked down, feeling a confusing blend of emotions. I wanted to believe him, but trusting Lucian didn’t come easily. His words feltsincere, but the pain he’d caused me still lingered, like shadows in the background.
