The game was nothing more than an idea I threw out, wondering if Lycan would agree to it. He did. Much to my pleasure and his. And most importantly, to Scarlett’s. I watch intently as they move, as he helps Scarlett to right herself.

Even in the darkness, the wolf finds his red, and that’s how it was always meant to be. This may not be a fairy tale, instead, this is real life, but the story has to end with them finding each other again.

He carries here off into the woods, through the trees, and I smile. While I take a moment to breathe, to calm my erratic heartbeat, I wonder briefly if I will ever find that pure passion, raw lust, and the unrelenting love that simmers between Lycan and Scarlett.

I’ve never been one for emotion, especially when it came to sex. It was physical, why make it emotional, but with her, I felt something. But right now, I realize that she’s opened up something in me, something I kept hidden for so long, and I want to finally have something more than just a one-night stand.

Perhaps the hunter isn’t as heartless as he envisioned.

After a short moment, I follow them back to the house, and as we step into the warmth of the bedroom, Lycan sets Scarlett down beside me, while he goes to ensure the candles in the bathroom are set up for our shower. She doesn’t realize it yet, but the party isn’t over yet.

“You’re exquisite,” I tell her honestly. As much as I’ve enjoyed this time with her, soon, I’ll have to leave. This may not be a home that’s off bounds to me anymore, but it’s not my home, it’s not the place I feel most myself. “Tonight, wasn’t just about sex, it was about giving you the power in this situation.”

Scarlett gasps and her eyes widen. She didn’t know I knew about what happened to her. But when I looked into the Bardots, Howler found out all her little secrets. That’s why I told her I know more about her than she could ever imagine.

“How did you—”

“You need to tell him,” I whisper, running my thumb along her cheek. “He needs to know. I hope that we’ve both given you the strength to realize it wasn’t your fault. You’re beautiful. You’re strong. And you’re going to be okay. My brother will always be there for you, no matter what. But remember, you’ll always have a hunter in your corner as well. And I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt you.” It’s a promise, a vow, and I make it easily.

“Thank you,” Scarlett murmurs, her lip trembling, and I watch for a moment as she swallows thickly. The tears that shimmer on her lashes make my chest tighten, but she blinks them back before looking directly at me. “I-I—”

“Shh, it’s okay,” I assure her.

“I don’t know what to say about everything,” she tells me, her voice raspy, and I cup her face gently. My thumb runs over the apple of her cheek, the soft, rosy hue that blooms at my touch makes me smile.

“There’s no need to put anything into words. For once, just enjoy the feelings, the emotions, and the pleasure,” I whisper. “And when it’s all over, you’ll feel renewed. Like a different person. And that’s why we do what we do.” I glance at Lycan as he walks back into the room, his eyes taking in the closeness of his wife and me. “That’s why we enjoy the darkness.”

“Because the truth is always hidden in the shadows,” Lycan finishes for me.

I step back, and allow him to lift her into his arms, and I happily follow for the grand finale.

Scarlett

I don’t know how I’m still awake. Adrenalin courses through me, the need to show them I’m strong and can handle anything. I asked for this. I craved it, and I don’t know if I can handle more orgasms, but for some reason, I’m ready to handle anything they throw at me.

“You were amazing tonight, little red,” Lycan coos in my ear. The praise making my chest swell with pride, and my heart patters against my ribs. The need to please him seems to be ingrained in me. I want him to look at me with pride, with love and affection, and the way he’s staring at me right now, calms the nervous energy I had about tonight.

He’s not at all angry about the decision I made to agree to this evening’s events. With his arms holding me against him, I can feel his heart thrumming, and I lay my head against his chest, listening to the rhythm.

He walks me over to an en suite bathroom with a large shower that looks like it could fit ten of us. Darius turns the taps on, and I realize he’s naked, his thick cock jutting from his waist, and a gasp falls from my lips at the sight. He steps under the spray while Lycan sets me on the counter to undo my shoes. Once I’m fully naked, he helps me step into the warmth, and I sigh in relief as the water massages my muscles. When Lycan steps inside as well before sliding the glass door closed, I’m sandwiched between them.
