Chapter 52
-Alex's POV-
I left Christian after my outburst without another word and drove around aimlessly trying to get the pictures out of my head. No matter how many years had gone by. How much time had passed, the memory was scarred to my brain. I could never forget which is why I couldn't ever forgive her.
The anger, a hot coal in my gut, refused to be banked. I drove aimlessly, the city lights blurring into streaks of color as I tried to outrun the memories. Darkness finally settled, a shadow descending over the city, mirroring the darkness that clung to my heart.
Pulling into my driveway, I saw the two familiar cars parked in front of the mansion. My wolf stirred awake within me, a low growl rumbling in my chest. I'd specifically instructed my security team not to allow anyone unauthorized inside. Firing the entire night shift suddenly seemed like a very tempting option.
With a clenched jaw, I stormed through the front door. The picture that greeted me did little to quell the rising tide of fury within. There, sprawled on the plush couch, sat Miranda, her legs crossed and a predatory smile playing on her lips as she engaged with two men in dark
suits.
Her eyes snapped towards me the moment I entered, the smile morphing into something mischievous. "Well, well," she drawled, her voice dripping with feigned surprise. "Look who finally decided to grace us with his presence."
The two men, their expressions unreadable, turned their gazes towards me. Ignoring Miranda, I held their stare, my voice laced with ice as 1 uttered a single word: "Leave."
A flicker of something, perhaps annoyance, crossed Miranda's face, but she recovered quickly. Standing with a practiced grace, she swayed her hips as she walked towards the exit. "Oh, alright then," she purred, throwing the men a seductive glance. "Guess we'll pick this up another time, shall we? With that, she disappeared, leaving a heavy silence in her wake.
The two men remained standing, unfazed by Miranda's departure. Now, with her gone, I could focus on them fully. The one on the left was older, in his late forties, but his sharp gaze and the jagged scar etched across his cheek spoke of a life lived on the edge. He wore a suit, but it couldn't hide the dangerous aura that clung to him like a second skin. A wolf in sheep's clothing.
On his right stood a man who didn't bother with such pretense. His build was imposing, his body language exuding a sense of barely contained power. There was no mistaking the darkness that simmered beneath the surface, a darkness he wore like a badge of honor.
"Vargas," I said, addressing the man with the scar. His name, like him, was a reflection of his nature - ruthless and cold.
"Raze," I turned to the other man, his name evoking images of destruction and chaos. There was no warmth in my voice as I finally addressed them both, "To what do I owe this...pleasure?" I emphasized the last word, dripping with sarcasm. We all proceeded to take our seats.
