Sweat coated my back, and I wiped my mouth on the back of my hand as I stood up. My bare feet padded against the cold tile of the bathroom. I washed my hands before I lifted my gaze to the mirror, and my heart stopped. Written in red lipstick was one word,‘mine’.
My stomach flipped, and I swallowed down the bile. I pushed myself to walk back into my room and snatch the letter from my bed.
My sweet Rhett,
I watched her today. She has the most unique white hair. Has she ever cut it, I wonder? It hits just below her bottom, and don’t think I haven’t noticed that you look there. But it’s okay, as I cannot look away either. That woman is enchanting, my love.
She has beautiful blue eyes, and I cannot get over how tiny she is. It makes you want to protect her, and I understand that… but why can’t you want to protect me that way?
Two and a half years ago, I dyed my hair red so you would notice me. You never did. All you noticed was her. And now, I’ve dyed my hair white. You still haven’t noticed me.
You smell like cherries, and that is my favorite food, and your scent is all over that woman. I doubt she appreciates you as much as I do. She’s allowed three men to put themselves inside her, and I can promise you that her writhing and moans were not faked. A woman knows. But she’s allowed more than those three access to her heart. Does that not bother you? Are you really okay with that?
The grapevine mentions that one of her mates rejected her for this. I’ve spoken to the wolf once, but even though he rejected her, he seemed smitten. All he could talk about was her. Until that witch broke their bond, but that made you happy, didn’t it? Because while you are fine with sharing her with the others, that one wolf was too much. I want to get inside your brain and see how it works.
How do you control yourself? You almost never anger or lose control. I love that.
Do you remember our time together? I doubt you could forget. You fit so perfectly inside of me. That was before Lynn stole you from us, of course.
Lynn may have stolen your body, but you allowed Eevie to steal your heart.
Eevie was unworthy. Sawing her head off her was difficult, but when Lynn told us about how close she’d gotten to you, we had to take action. Her screams were beautiful.
I remember watching the life drain from Lynn’s body when you overloaded her with your pheromones. I believe that would be the best way to die. Only I would like you inside me if that is how I go. I won’t approach you, though, so don’t worry.
Unlike Eevie or Lynn, Wren seems different. She actually seems to love you. I’m amazed that she can love you and six others so seamlessly. But one mess up, and I’ll gift you her head too.
Do you think you could love her and me? She has her harem, can’t you have one too?
It’s been a long time since we’ve been home. I’ll see you soon.
XOXO,
Your one true love
A white noise exploded in my head as I clutched the letter in my hand.
No.
No no no no no.
I worried enough about Wren as it was, but now that this letter came in, I was past the point of worried. Snatching my tablet, I called Rowan almost as if I was on autopilot. My body didn’t want to face what was happening.
“Rhett?” He rasped.
“Get over here right now.” I pressed the button to hang up before moving.
I paced the length of my room at least twenty times before a loud smack on my door made me leak pheromones. “Let me in,” Rowan said.
Closing the distance, I opened the door.
Rowan’s eyes were wide in alarm, and his hair was loose, hanging to his shoulders. The bearberry sent of Wren clung to him, and it made tears well up in my eyes. Pheromones poured out of my skin, and he stiffened.
“What the hell is going on?”
“The person has been here. They left this under my pillow.” I held the letter out, and he took it.
The flames in his eyes raged as he read it, and red scales formed all over his skin. He looked like a humanoid dragon, and that’s exactly what he was.
