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.
