The Alpha

Scarlet's POV

I tilt my head to the side and furrow my brows. Why is he asking about Will? "Umm... he's my best friend. We've known each other since I first came to live in The Scourge when I was three."

"I need to know more. What are your feelings for him? What are his for you? Have you ever been romantically involved?" he persists and my jaw drops before I clamp my mouth shut.

"Where is all of this coming from?" I ask hesitantly.

"You have guards Scarlet," he states as if that explains everything and I raise my eyebrow at him.

"Yeah. And?"

"And they are MY guards. You didn't think they would keep me informed about how things went at the shelter? You didn't think they would let me know that another man was hugging and touching my mate? That he KISSED you?" My eyes widen in both shock and anger. Will had kissed me on the cheek when he hugged me goodbye. There hadn't been anything romantic about the encounter. It was the same as it's always been.

"You have your guards spying on me?!"

"No. They are protecting you and reporting back. I don't like him touching you Scarlet," he growls and I can't help but to scoff as I cross my arms over my chest defensively. "If you want to continue seeing him and helping at the shelter then tell him to keep his hands and lips to himself."

"You can't be serious!" I demand.

"Oh I am."
