Scarlett's POV
The silence that followed was heavy, suffocating—but it didn't last.
The air began to vibrate as their voices flooded my mind, a chaotic tangle of mind-links that made my head throb.
'I am your mate, Scarlett,' Liam's voice boomed, strong and possessive. 'You have to choose me.'
'Scar… no one can love you more than I do,' Leo's voice cut through, softer, desperate. 'Don't listen to him. I'm your mate. I'm the one who truly cares.'
'Choose me,' Leon growled through the link, the memory of his touch in the library still burning on my skin. 'You know your body already belongs to me. I'm your mate.'
