Chapter 35 : A Burning Betrayal

Rhett's POV

Hayden came into my office later that day and I knew something was off. I could just tell that something bad had happened in my bones, and I wasn't prepared for what he was about to tell me.

I noticed it almost as soon as I saw Hayden that night. How could I not? He was practically dripping in her scent. And if that wasn't enough then the regret and shame that fell off from him in waves was enough to tell me that something had happened.

Or that he had done something.

I was in front of Hayden before he could think, or before he could even close the door to the office that I was in. I was holding him by the collar of his shirt with a fury blazing in my eyes, my wolf snapping at its cages as it tried to understand why my mate's scent was all over my brother. Or why he smelled like her desire and lust.

I had become accustomed to that scent, I knew what it was like a mile away, and I knew that Hayden must have come from Eleanore's house because of the way he smelled.
