Chapter 49 Chapter 49
Kent’s POV
I paced around my room, to and fro, trying to calm the emotions running through me and raging inside me. Scarlett had pulled away from me, and no matter how much I tried to brush it off, it stung. Badly. I couldn’t understand why I was feeling this way. It wasn’t like we were mates, but the connection I felt with her was undeniable. Something had changed between us, or maybe I was the only one who could feel it, but I knew I could feel that it was something real. And then, just when I thought she might feel it too, she pulled away. It left me feeling lost, angry, and confused.
I ran a hand through my hair, my thoughts confusing. “What the hell is wrong with me?” I muttered under my breath.
“I told you to not go after Scarlett,” my wolf Lucas said
“Shut it !” I said blocking Lucas from communicating with me.
I wasn’t supposed to feel like this. Scarlett had made it clear she was focused on the curse and her revenge, and I had told myself I was okay with that. But after today, I wasn’t so sure anymore. The way she looked at me, the way her hand had felt in mine, I’d thought for a moment that maybe, just maybe, she felt something too.
But then she stopped me. Pulled away. Like I didn’t matter.
I growled in frustration, pacing around, The rejection burned more than I wanted to admit. It wasn’t just about almost kissing her, it was about being pushed aside, about not being seen the way I saw her. And the worst part? I couldn’t even be mad at her. She had every right to focus on what was important to her. But damn it, it still hurts.
A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts. I groaned, not in the mood for visitors, but when I opened it, I was surprised to find Kiana standing there.
“Kiana?” I asked, trying to keep the annoyance out of my voice. “What are you doing here?”
She stepped inside without waiting for an invitation, her eyes sharp and serious. “I see the way you look at Scarlett,” she said, her voice calm but with a kind of accusation. “You shouldn’t look at her that way.”
I blinked, taken aback. “What are you talking about, Kiana?”
She crossed her arms, her gaze cold. “I’m saying that I should be the one you love, Kent. Not Scarlett.”
I felt my stomach drop. “Kiana, what are you..” My eyebrows raised.
She cut me off, stepping closer, her voice softer but more intense. “I’ve loved you for as long as I can remember, Kent. Even before Elizabeth, your mate died, I’ve been here. Waiting for you. You were broken, and I understood. But I’ve waited long enough.”
My heart pounded in my chest, and confusion and anger felt inside me. “Kiana, this is not the time for this.”
But she wasn’t listening. Instead, she slowly began to undress, her eyes locked on mine with a determined look “Tell me you don’t like what you see,” she said, her voice low, and seductive
I froze, unsure of how to respond. My mind was a mess, still replaying everything that had happened with Scarlett. I knew I should stop her, but the twisted, frustrated part wanted to escape. To forget about Scarlett, even if just for a moment.
Kiana moved closer, her hand reaching for mine. “You need someone who understands you, Kent. Someone who has always been there for you.”
I swallowed hard, my emotions still in chaos. I should stop this. I knew that. But right now, with the rejection from Scarlett still fresh in my mind, I was weak.
Kiana leaned in, her lips brushing against my ear. “Let me help you forget about her,”
Kiana said as she moved my hands to her breasts, I gave them a hard squeeze
“Oh yeah,” Kiana moaned as she closed the space between us completely; I carried her up to my bed and threw her on the bed. You will get what you asked for bitch.
“Spread for me, bitch.” I said as I kicked her thighs apart.
“Yes, that’s it. You love this, don’t you? Fucking whore.” sliding my cock between her thighs, teasing. My cock slams into her, hard relentless thudding against her ass. Pounding into her on the bed, each thrust was for every frustration I was feeling right now; all I could imagine was how it was going to be like to fuck Scarlett like this, thrusting into her till she reached the edge of orgasm.
I stopped, yanking Kiana up by the hair, and turned her to face me; I wanted to imagine it was Scarlett under me; Kiana was breathing heavily, her breasts also following the same rhythm “horny witch,” as I started slapping her on the breast, I will make Scarlett pay.
“Stop hitting me,” Kiana begged. “You asked for it, so shut it,” I replied, thrusting deeper into her.
“Horny witch, This is what you wanted all along; this was your plan. You fucking asked for it; get ready because I'm going to destroy your clit” I said as I changed positions, lifted her against the wall, and started thrusting faster into her.
“Oh Kent ” she moaned taking everything in, throwing her head back as her breasts bounced in front of my face
I pulled her to sit on top of me, my cock poised at her cunt. My hands reached up and grabbed her by the nipple.
“Kent,” she moaned, but I kept squeezing her nipples, imagining it was that of Scarlett; I couldn't help but wonder what Scarlett's tits were going to look like; were they going to turn red if I sucked them? I chuckled at my thoughts.
I released her nipple and grind my nails into her chest and breasts, driving me crazy; my cock was relentless, and Kiana’s breath was gone. I wasn't done yet as I forced her back into a sitting position, shoving my cock, my nails running on her thighs as she rode my cock. I was thrusting into her harder and deeper, each thrust harder than the other, all I wanted to do was to let out my frustration, I didn't care if Kaina was beginning to ask me to slow down, because nobody fucking tells me what to do, damnit I gro
“Stop please she begged” She couldn't take it anymore
“You think this is about you? Do you think I give a damn about your pleasure? this isn’t about you.” I said, thrusting deeper. I felt like I was about to cum, and with a satisfied groan, I pulled out and let it out on the floor beside her; the last thing I wanted was for Kiana to tell me she was pregnant.
I stared at the ceiling, the weight of what had just happened settling heavily in my chest. Kiana lay beside me, her breathing soft and even, but my mind was racing.
What had I done?
This wasn’t right. I didn’t love Kiana. I had only given in because I was angry because Scarlett had turned me down. And now I have only made things worse.
I ran a hand over my face, frustration building inside me. What kind of man was I? Using Kiana to distract myself from Scarlett? It wasn’t fair to her. It wasn’t fair to anyone.
Kiana stirred beside me, her hand brushing against my chest. “You’ll see, Kent,” she whispered, her voice soft. “We’re meant to be.”
I said nothing, my mind too tangled to respond. All I knew was that this wasn’t what I wanted. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go.
And as I lay there, staring at the ceiling, all I could think about was Scarlett. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get her out of my head.
Scarlett’s POV
After leaving Kent, I returned to my room, exhausted heavily. Tomorrow, I would have to return to the cursed tree again and I needed to be prepared. My emotions were all over the place. Zane, Kent, the curse, everything felt like it was out of control.
I changed into my nightclothes, trying to calm the emotions inside me. But no matter how hard I tried to push the thoughts away, I couldn’t stop thinking about Kent. The way he had tried to kiss me, the look in his eyes when I pulled away I didn’t know how to feel about any of it.
Focus, Scarlett, I told myself. Focus on the curse. On getting your revenge. Damn the number of times I had been repeating these same words
But even as I repeated the words, they felt sad.
With a sigh, I climbed into bed, pulling the covers up to my chin. Tomorrow, I will face the cursed tree. Tomorrow, I will get the
answers I need.
And maybe, just maybe, I would find a way to fix the mess my life had become.
