Scarlett’s POV
"Liam, open the door," Leonard demanded again, his voice filled with anger. "It is officially 6:00 AM. Tuesday has started. Get your hands off my mate."
But Liam refused to listen. His beast was fully awake, driven mad by the thought of giving up to his brother. He didn’t care about the rules or the clock anymore. He kept slamming into , his heavy hips pounding against mine with a wild, desperate speed.
"Liam... ah! Liam, please stop!" I begged, my voice breaking as a loud moan slipped out. The pleasure was intense, but the terror of Leonard breaking through the door was driving crazy. "He’s right there... please!"
Liam groaned loudly, a dark, primal sound tearing from his throat. He ignored my words and moved three more tis inside —three hard, brutal thrusts that sank so deep they made my vision go blurry. Then, with a harsh gasp, he finally pulled out of my dripping body.
I gasped for air, the sudden emptiness making shiver as the cool morning air hit my skin.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Leonard banged on the door even harder, the wood creaking under his fists. "Open this fucking door, Liam! Now!"
"Just a minute!" Liam roared back, his Alpha voice booming through the room.
Panic seized . I scrambled backward on the mattress, grabbing the ssy white sheet and pulling it tightly over my naked body, covering myself up to my chin. My heart was hamring against my ribs like a trapped bird.
Liam didn’t care that he was completely naked. He stepped off the bed, his tall, muscular fra tense and covered in sweat. His green eyes were still flashing with golden wolf fire as he walked across the room and unlocked the door, swinging it wide open just so Leonard would stop banging.
Leonard stepped into the room, and the temperature in the air dropped to freezing.
I swallowed hard, looking up from the bed. I could see the absolute rage and raw possession burning in Leonard’s eyes. He stood in the doorway, his chest heaving, his powerful jaw clenched so tight the muscles were twitching.
First, Leonard stared at Liam’s naked form, taking in the sight of his brother’s sweat-sheened skin and the heavy scent of sex rolling off him. Then, his sharp, dark gaze snapped over to the bed, locking onto . He looked at the tangled sheets, my ssy hair, and my trembling body covered in the blanket.
I saw the pure fury explode in his expression. The possessiveness in his aura flared so brightly it made the air heavy to breathe. He was an Alpha, a billionaire used to getting everything he wanted, and right now, he was looking at the undeniable proof that his own blood had just been inside his mate. The knowledge that Liam had just claid my body—and was trying to keep doing it on his day—was tearing Leonard’s control into absolute pieces.
"You’re early," Liam said coldly, his voice dripping with annoyance. He didn’t even try to cover his nakedness. He just stood his ground, his broad, tattooed chest pressed chest-to-chest with his brother. "And you’re interrupting."
"I am right on ti," Leonard snarled, his voice a low, angry vibration that made the windows rattle. His dark eyes drilled into Liam, filled with a wild, murderous hatred. "The clock struck six. Your ti is up, Liam. But you just couldn’t resist sliding your cock into what belongs to , could you?"
"She belongs to both of us, Leonard! Don’t forget that!" Liam roared back, his fists clenching at his sides as his inner wolf pushed hard against the surface. "We share the bond!"
"Then respect the fucking schedule!" Leonard slamd his hand against the doorfra, cracking the wood. The raw authority of his Alpha voice was loud enough to bring the whole pack house running, but right now, he only cared about the girl in the bed. He looked past Liam, his burning gaze locking right onto my terrified eyes.
I shrunk back against the pillows, pulling the sheet even tighter around my chest. "Leonard, please..." I whispered, my voice trembling. "It wasn’t... we didn’t an to—"
"Shut up, Scarlett," Leonard snapped, his face twisted in pure fury as he glared at .
"Don’t you dare speak to her that way!" Liam roared, stepping right between us. His green eyes flashed with rage. "You do not tell her to shut up. Not in my room, and not anywhere else."
Leonard’s eyes snapped from back to his brother.
"This is your warning, Leonard," Liam hissed, his chest heaving as he stood his ground. "Watch your mouth around our mate, or your Tuesday is going to end before it even starts."
Leonard’s jaw clenched so hard a muscle jumped in his cheek. He looked like he wanted to rip the room apart, but he knew the rules. If he fought Liam now, he would lose his slot for the whole month. He had to swallow his pride, even though it was killing him.
"Get dressed, Liam," Leonard growled out, his voice low as he forced himself to take a step back. "Your day is done. Get out of my sight."
Liam turned around to look at one last ti. His green eyes softened instantly, filled with a sweet, protective love. He leaned down and pressed a hard, slow kiss to my lips right in front of his brother, making a point.
"I’ll see you on Thursday, my love," Liam whispered against my mouth.
Then, he casually picked up his sweatpants from the floor, pulled them on, and walked past Leonard without another word. The heavy door shut firmly behind him, leaving completely alone with the second Alpha brother.
Without saying a word to him, I slid out from the sheets, keeping my back turned. I quickly grabbed my black silk tank top and shorts from the floor and pulled them back onto my bare, aching body.
I didn’t look at Leonard as I walked straight past him. My heart was pounding, and my eyes were fixed on the hallway outside. I hurried down the dark corridor, my bare feet making no sound against the floor, and rushed straight back into the safety of my own room.
I pushed the door open and stepped inside, finally letting out a shaky breath. But before I could even turn around to close it, a heavy hand caught the edge of the wood.
Leonard walked right in behind , shutting the door firmly with a soft click.
The scent of dark chocolate and burnt wood flooded my space, completely erasing the quiet calm of my bedroom.
He looked down at , his jaw clenched, his eyes dark with a wild, painful intensity. The heavy, angry mask he usually wore was totally gone. Underneath it was just a man who looked completely heartbroken.
"Scarlett," Leonard murmured, his deep voice cracking just a little bit in the quiet room.
He took a slow step toward , his chest heaving as he stared at my face. He looked at my lips, which were still slightly swollen from Liam’s kisses, and then looked down at my hands. The raw, angry Alpha aura from the hallway was gone, replaced by deep, agonizing pain.
"Did you..." Leonard swallowed hard, the words seeming to choke him. "Did you just give your first ti to Liam?"
