Chapter 6

"Darling, Scarlett won't easily give up her family's prestige and the power that comes with this arranged marriage," Ethan panted, lifting her skirt as he spoke, his hand exploring beneath her clothing. "Give me a little more time. It's too difficult for us to gain a foothold in the council on our own. Haven't we suffered enough as a subordinate family?"

"Scarlett is just a stepping stone. You are my eternal safe harbor."

They clung to each other, inseparable, exchanging bloody kisses. Ethan tore open Lilith's blouse, eagerly tasting her skin.

I felt nausea rising to my head, my breathing becoming labored. As I stood up, a wave of dizziness hit me, and I nearly collapsed into Victor's arms.

Initially, I had refused Ethan's advances.

Until that incident with the werewolf attack.

I was patrolling the borders of our family territory when the wolf pack surged in. It was Ethan who saved me.
