CHAPTER 32

Scarlett

Flattening my back against my bedroom door, I slid to the ground and wrapped my arms around my knees. I dropped my head and finally allowed the tears I’d been holding back to fall freely. I’d refused to let Drew see me cry, but with his body pressed against mine, it took all I had not to break down right there in front of him.

I needed a shower to wash away his stench, but fear kept me bound to the safety of my room. I didn’t have the strength to face him again tonight. It was bad enough that I’d have to wake up in the morning and act like nothing had happened. There was nothing I could do about it. Drew knew that, and I hated him for it. Evil son of a bitch.

As I crawled into bed, I couldn’t get Drew’s words out of my head. As much as I despised him, he had one thing right. If I told Luke the truth, he would never speak to me again. But he was going to find out at some point whether it was me who told him or not. Either way, I’d lose him. There would never be a future for us, no matter how much I cared about him, no matter how much I regretted what I’d willingly agreed to do.

Once again, tears stung my eyes, and I clinched them shut, desperately trying to stop the pain coursing through me, but it did no good. The vice grip around my heart tightened, and I gasped for air as I sobbed uncontrollably. I hadn’t wept like this since the night my mother died. That night, I thought my endless tears would never dry up, and now I felt as if I’d been cast right back into that dark, dreadful place I thought I’d never escape from.

Trying to calm myself, I took deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling slowly. But then my mind would turn to Luke, and I’d lose it all over again. If I told him the truth, he’d hate me forever. I wouldn’t be able to go back home. Betraying my pack…if it didn’t get me killed, it would most certainly get me banished. My father would never speak to me again. I’d lose everything, everyone. Everyone except Gavin. He would never turn his back on me.

Before I realized what I was doing, I’d reached for my phone, found his name, and pushed the call button. Seconds later, Gavin answered, concern filling his voice. I tried to disguise my tears as I said his name, but I knew it would be in vain.

“Scarlett, what’s wrong. What happened?”

“Gavin, I’ve screwed everything up. I don’t know what to do,” I cried into the phone, gripping it tightly as if it was the only lifeline I had left.

“Slow down. Tell me what’s going on. Do you need me to come there? I can be in the car in five minutes.”

“No! You can’t. It will just make things worse. Drew is supposed to be you.
