The Alpha
Chapter 31
Ethan's POV
It is several minutes of us just lying there in silence before she finally speaks. "So, did you ever end up catching the rest of Ray's thugs?"
"We have three of them right now. They are all locked up. None of them have been particularly helpful, but we're keeping them alive until we can find the other two," I answer as I notice her fingers gently playing with the diamond hanging around her neck.
"Which two are you still looking for?"
"The twins you told me about, Ryder and Rowan," I reply as I think about her description of them. They are just a couple years older than Scarlet. They have always needed someone to follow though they are both smarter than the others in their group. They are almost identical except that they have different hair styles and Rowan's is slightly darker. Ryder has a scar on his left eyebrow.

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound fills the silence and I cock an eyebrow at Scarlet. "Was that your stomach?"
Her cheeks blush a gorgeous pink and she give me an embarrassed grin. "Yeah. I haven't eaten all day."

I had expected her to go and live with her father and pack once they arrived. Unfortunately, she still seems to spend a lot of time in my pack house. I let out a sigh since it is easy to see that she's here to start trouble yet again. "What is this slut still doing here baby?" she asks in her normal snarky voice as she sits down
