Chapter Nineteen

Scarlett Ward tilted her chin up in silent defiance, refusing to wilt under her brother’s malevolent glare. She shifted in place, flipping her long, dark hair back over one shoulder, and sighed as she looked around. She stood in the large, bombed-out basement of the abandoned apartment building where their pack was now living. It was a far cry from the safe, quiet neighborhood where she and her brother Redd had grown up.

Redd stood before Scarlett, a sneer on his face. He was a Shifter male in his prime; tall, a thickly muscled body from head to toe. Dark hair and deep blue eyes that drew a certain kind of Shifter female. The kind that appreciated strength and good looks over sense or compassion, it seemed.

“Now Scarlett, just because we’re kin don’t mean I won’t hurt ya,” Redd said. He directed his words at Scarlett, but they weren’t meant for her. Redd was preaching to his ragtag little band of Shifters. They were all the same type: big, muscular, dumb as rocks. Junkies, bullies, redneck assholes with barbed-wire tattoos and tiny intellects. Redd had twenty two followers now, two-thirds of them thick-headed, short-tempered males. The pack lounged now, laying on mattresses or sleeping bags, watching Redd scold his ‘wayward sister’.

“I know,” Scarlett said, crossing her arms over her breasts, hating the way that some of the males looked at her. Fearing Redd, none of them had made a move yet, but it was only a matter of time before her brother lost her temper and gave her over to his pack.

“I need that money that Mama left us, Scarlett,” Redd said, unashamed. All the men in Scarlett’s romance novels were proud, too proud to tell the women they loved their feelings. Redd had plenty of pride, but none of that applied when it came to asking for things from Scarlett. Redd said that they were blood, and what was hers was his, too.

Their relation was undeniable. Though Scarlett’s frame was willowy where Redd’s was thick, they shared the same dark hair and deep blue eyes. They were both tall, and they were both stubborn.

“Mama left that money to me, Redd. She wanted me to use it to go to school,” Scarlett said for the hundredth time.

Redd’s pack members watched, some getting to their feet and edging closer. The pack liked Redd’s dramatic flair, attracted to his chaos.

“And I told you, you ain’t doing that. You’re gonna settle down with the male I choose for ya, and you’re gonna breed and build up my pack. End of story. Meanwhile, that money’s just sitting there. We could be living the high life instead of living in this fucking dump,” Redd scowled.

“Really? When I said it was a dump, you told me it was good enough for us,” Scarlett said, letting her distaste show.

“You need to shut that smart mouth unless I ask you a question. You hear me?” Redd snarled. Reaching out and grabbing Scarlett by the arm, he gave her a hard shake.
