Chapter 6
Ollie’s POV
Raw fear makes my heart race. Seeing only one option, I dash into the closet and yank the door closed behind me. As soon as I do, I hear the main door open and the four brothers
walk inside.
“Gods, she smells so good,” Hugh says, delight in his voice. “Better than anyone I’ve ever
scented.”
“Where did she go?” Wes asks.
“The closet,” Declan replies.
A pair of footsteps near the closet. If the open this door and see who I am, I’m done for!
“Please!” I call out. In my panic, my voice comes out higher than normal. Quickly realizing the advantage of disguising my voice, I keep the same higher pitch. “I need to change
clothes first, before we meet.”
“Come out naked,” Hugh says. “We don’t mind.”
“Hugh,” Wes scolds. “Conrad, do something.”
“Miss,” Conrad calls. He’s the one nearest the door. “We’ve been waiting for you for some time. We only want to see your face.”
“Not until I’ve changed first,” I say. “Please. I… I want to look my best for you.”
“She’s shy,” Wes says.
“What’s there to be shy about?” Hugh asks. “We’re mates, not strangers.”
“Girls want to look their best,” Wes says.
“How would you know?” Hugh says. “You don’t even have a girlfriend.”

“We’ll leave,” Declan says. “We’ll wait outside the door.”
Hugh sighs. “Fine.”
“We’re going outside of the room,” Conrad calls to me. “Knock when you are ready for us
to enter.”
I wait quietly, listening, as they file out the door.
“They are gone,” my wolf says in my mind, a hint of confusion in her voice.
Fortunately, in the closet, I find an old discarded pair of clothes. I don’t know who they belong to, but I’m not willing ask needless questions at the moment. ›
Stepping out of the closet, I quickly change into the spare pair of jeans and a t–shirt. Looking around, I don’t immediately see a back door, but there is a window.
I rush to it and open it. As it’s a first floor window, I easily sneak out without hurting myself.
When I’m in the cool night air, I begin to relax.
“Please explain now,” my wolf says. “We should be running to your mates, not away from them.”
“You don’t know these guys like I do,” I tell her. “They are not the kind of guys we want to
be tied down to.”
“The mating bond has a way of changing things,” my wolf says.
“Not them,” I say. “And even if they do start to treat me kinder, which I doubt, binding myself to them means I’d be trapped here, forever abused and bullied by Sylvia.”
“Who is Sylvia?”
Briefly, I give my wolf an account of what’s happened the past three years. I hit only the big points for now, planning on filling in the finer details later.

Maybe she doesn’t need them though, because I feel her understanding soon enough.

“I can hide my scent,” my wolf says, “But in doing so, you will have to play the part of a wolfless. You will never be able to shift in front of others, lest you reveal your secret.”
“I understand,” I say. “I’m willing to do whatever it takes to stay free.”
“Very well,” my wolf says and I can feel the difference already, as she slowly pulls herself back, hiding herself.
“What is your name?” I remember to ask.
“I’m Scarlet,” she says.
“Nice to meet you, Scarlet. I’m Ollie.” Despite everything, I am glad to have my wolf, and such a kind, understanding one too. It’s nice not to feel so alone anymore.
That reminds me…
I managed to grab my clutch purse as I was sneaking out of the room. I open it now to find my phone and text Ella that I will meet her at the estate. There’s no way I’m going back to the venue now.
Only as I continue to walk do I realize I’ve made a grave mistake. In my hurry to flee, while I grabbed my purse I left my dress sitting on the floor of the changing room.
Maybe they won’t notice.
Third Person POV
That delicate scent smells so heavenly, Conrad’s entire body is reacting with want and need. He was desperate to be close to the source of that scent, to bury his nose in her neck, while he slams his dick between her thighs. When she’s writhing in passion, he will bite down on her neck, making her his…
