Chapter twenty-nine

Gus

I step outside after the game to get away from Rueben’s constant chatter. Every other word out of his mouth right now is Scarlett.

She’s been here for one day. Less than five hours if Bishop’s telling it right. A few hours spent with that woman and Rueben is completely obsessed.

I can’t say Bishop’s any less besotted, considering he’s been quiet all night and he only gets like that when he’s deep in thought. It’s messed up how easily she has them both wrapped around her little finger.

I know Scout will be the same way once he’s had a chance to be around her. He kept asking if I thought she’d show up. Eventually, I told him to go send Rueben a text and find out.

He couldn’t get to his phone quickly enough.

None of my pack brothers can see that she’s nothing but trouble.

I knew that the moment I saw her face.

She’s much too beautiful to be a Beta.

Her housemates are pretty, but she stands out like a diamond glittering in their midst, and the worst part of that is she knows. She can tell she’s stunning. She’s cocky and flirtatious and no one seems to ever be good enough to keep her attention.

I felt that same attraction my pack brothers did that night, but I knew it was only physical.

She might be a rare beauty, but she’s not the kind of woman I want as my mate.

I don’t care if she is an Omega.

That’s not enough to make me want her.

She’s too flighty and arrogant to ever be right for me.

Bishop seems to think there’s more to her.

Rueben’s blinded by her beauty.

Scout is too nice to think anything bad about anybody.

The only defence my pack have against Scarlett Faris is me.

So, I can’t let her walk in here and steal all their hearts.

I need to be the one to stop this before it goes too far.

It that means being a prick to her, then I guess I’d better get ready to be sharp and uncompromising.

I lean against the wall, staring out into the night.

No one’s going to thank me for what I’m going to do, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to let an entitled Omega tear us apart from the inside out.

The woman has no idea what’s about to hit her.

She’ll regret ever setting eyes on Pack Bishop.

Chapter thirty

Bishop

Gus might be the first person I would leave in charge at the firehouse in my absence, but I’m not feeling good about leaving him in charge at home today, while Rueben and I work our last day for the week.
