Chapter 46 : Powerlessness Chapter 46 : Powerlessness ( Scarletts POV ) Dont forget the files on the treatment center , Claires cheerful but rushed voice broke through the calm morning air . My hand hovered over my bag as I listened , Files ? What files ? I asked , brows furrowing . The treatment center files . Theyre important . Theyre saved on the computer in the study , Claire clarified , her voice carrying a hint of stress . Youll need them for the meeting tomorrow . I sighed , shoulders slumping slightly . I glanced at Roman , who already stood at the door , his icy blue eyes narrowing at me in silent disapproval . Theyre on the study computer , right ? I confirmed with Claire .. Dont forget them , she replied firmly before hanging up . Romant arms crossed tightly over his chest , his irritation clear . Youre going to delay us , he said , his tone calm but tinted with reproach. You go ahead , I shot back , hiking the strap of my bag over my shoulder . Youve got a meeting . Thats more important . Ill join later after I grab the fles . His s expression darkened . He didnt reply immediately , and instead just stared at me as though trying to change my mind by sheer force of wi Hunters low chuckle broke the silence . Look at you , Little Wolf , he teased , pulling a car key from his pocket . Capable entrepreneur , running a treatment empire I rolled my eyes , ignoring the faint flicker of pride in my chest . Someone has to make things run smoothly around here Roman let out a slow , exasperated sigh . Fine , he muttered impassively . He stepped aside slightly , motioning to the team of warriors waiting nearby , Youre not going alone , he stated , brooking no room for argument . The gesture made me stop and glare at him . Seriously ? This is overkill His sharp gaze softened slightly , but only slightly . I dont take risks , Scarlett . A small flick of his wrist summoned his warriors forward . His precision was unbearable . Before I could protest , the matter was settled . He instructed one of the guards to ready a car for me , complete with extra protection . Youre impossible , I muttered , shaking my head . You love it Hunter chimed in , grinning . He slid into the passenger seat of Romans car . Dont get into too much trouble , Little Wolf . Save the fireworks for the real meeting I huffed , muttering under my breath as Roman and Hunters convoy pulled away . ( Romans POV ) The convoy was silent but efficient . The cars moved steadily , the faint hum of engines almost soothing against the crisp morning . Then I caught the scent . A specific and cheap blend designed to irritate the senses . There he was . Alexander . Leaning against the sleek hood of his SUV like he owned the world . Beside him , his Beta Jason gestured animatedly to my guards , apparently trying to negotiate . His hands moved sharply , his jacket almost flapping with the effort . Theyre getting desperate Hunter commented from the passenger seat . He didnt bother hiding his amusement . My ice blue eyes locked onto the scene , narrowing as I watched Alexander flick ash from his cigarette , feigning disinterest in Jasons futile efforts . Pathetic , I muttered . 1/3 Chapter 46 : Powerlessness Hunter turned his head slightly . Another request . Same as before . Guess he thinks todays the day well finally bend . I said nothing at first . The air between us grow cold with tension as the convoy slowed near the gates . Should I 7 One of the guards motioned toward Jason . No , I cut in sharply . Dont waste time . My words turned the air electric , a quiet hum of dominance filling the space . The guards stiffened and returned their attention to the cars . Jasons voice carried faintly , but I paid him no mind . Alexander isnt giving up . Hunter added , leaning his head back slightly . Youd think after all this time , hed understand the answer wont change I exhaled slowly , my grip tightening on the steering wheel . Hell learn , I said , keeping my voice dangerously low . Hunter let out a short laugh . You think Scarlett might run into him ? Shes s pretty close behind us , you kn know ? I didnt like the thought , but as Scarletts face flashed in my mind calm , defiant , and more powerful than ever- allowed a smirk to pull at the corner of my mouth . She can handle it , I replied simply Hunter raised his eyebrows but didnt press further . When I met his gaze , his slight smirk mirrored mine , and I knew we were thinking the same thing . The convoy pushed through , the gates shutting firmly behind us , leaving Alexander and Jason stranded on the outside . ( Scarletts POV ) The driver pulled out of the estate , the documents now safely tucked in my bag The ride was quiet, my focus split between the upcoming meeting and lingering thoughts of Romans over the top security measures . It was peaceful until the estate gates came into view . There , looming like an unwanted reminder , was Alexander He stood casually near the edge of the road , with Jason at his side and a few of his guards forming a loose barrier across the path . My driver tensed slightly , his grip firming on the wheel . He glanced into the rearview mirror nervously . Keep going I instructed firmly , my my voice flat . mere moments away from passing . The driver nodded and kept steady . The cars pace didnt shift until we e were meren Alexander raised his hand , signaling sharply to Jason . His Beta moved immediately , stepping into the path to block us Cora stirred restlessly within me as I watched Jason and a couple of Alexanders goons . Their tactic wasnt subtle . The vehicle slowed reluctantly . As it approached , Jason moved toward the drivers side window , his movements deliberate . The nerves in the car were palpable . Drive through , I commanded again . My own calmness surprised even me . But the guards didnt back down . They shifted , forming a loose wall that tightened as Jason grinned smugly through the glass . I rolled my y eyes . Stop the car , I ordered coldly . The driver acted instantly , and I opened the door before the car even came to a full stop . Alexanders amber eyes met mine instantly , his features tightening with recognition and disbelief . My emerald eyes narrowed . What are you doing here ? My voice cut through the tense air like a blade . Alexanders lips curled into a sneer , 1 could ask yo you the same . His wolf , Mason , rumbled just beneath his surface , threatening to break free . But there was no power here . His own Alpha command was weak, his desperation too strong . I stepped toward d him unflinchingly . This is how you spend your time now ? Blocking cars at gates like a rogue ? Youve got some nerve , he growled , stepping closer . Hiding out here , parading your independence . Do you know how much destruction youve caused ? 2/3 I tilted my head slightly , my expression cool . The only destruction is what youve brought upon yourself . Or has your sense of reality finally slipped Chapter 45. Powerlessness that far away ? He faltered , his jaw tightening as his fury bolled over . Youre a disgrace ! he spat , his amber eyes flashing with anger . To your pack , to your name Youve degraded yourself by staying here , thinking youre above it all . I held his gaze , unmoving . His words washed over me without the slightest effect . Thats rich coming from someone wrapped in chains by his own His composure cracked , and in one sharp movement , he grabbed my wrist . His Alpha energy lashed out , attempting to dominate . It hit like a breeze and dissipated just as quickly . I let him grip me for a brief moment , my untouched expression unnerving him . Then , with calm precision , I twisted my hand and struck . The movement was fluid and fast . My wolf driven strength surged through my body as my kick collided with his chest . He stumbled back , gasping as the air was knocked from his lungs . Jason moved instinctively , his steps hesitant , as though sizing up my next move , I glanced at him coldly , and he froze in place. You really thought that would work ? I asked Alexander , my voice sharp and dripping with disdain His response was a growl , but his tone was laced with frustration rather than authority . I turned back to the car without sparing another glance , signaling for the driver to move again . As the car sped away , I glanced into the e side mirror . Alexander remained rooted in place , hunched slightly as he caught his breath . His guards surrounded him , their faces tight with unease , And then he roared . A sound filled with frustration , anger , and something much weaker underneath it all : powerlessness . I couldnt help the faint , triumphant smile that tugged at my lips . For the first time , I had truly walked away by with the upper hand . Alexanders attempts meant nothing to me now . His power no longer had any control .
