Scarlett's POV He carried me into the room and closed the door behind him. Instead of heading to the bed, he went into the bathroom where the maids kept the torture materials. I raised my head from his shoulder and asked with alertness, "Why are you taking me to the bathroom?" He ignored me and walked inside.In the bathroom, I saw the neatly arranged torture materials in a corner, and I shuddered at the sight of them."Come down, Scarlett," he said, and reluctantly, I did as told. He walked away and stood in a corner, leaving me standing in front of a long roll of a device that looked like a foot mat, but it wasn't. It was made of sharp piercing needles.I turned to him and saw him comfortably seated on a chair with his hands behind his head and his legs crossed. He expected me to walk on those sharp needles? He couldn't be serious.Thinking he wasn't serious about leaving me in front of such a dangerous device, I walked towards him and sat down beside him. However, he peeked a
Ryan POVHearing her claim that she couldn't conceive, I immediately sensed her lie. This prompted me to question her again, hoping she'd reveal the truth this time. But even in the face of my persistence, she adamantly refused to come clean.Her inability to maintain a convincing facade brought a secret smile to my lips. How could she possibly deceive anyone when her face remained pale, betraying her every falsehood?I decided not to leave anything to chance and opted to take her to the hospital for an examination. While I could have summoned a nurse to our mansion, I deliberately chose to escort her out. It was a rare opportunity for her to venture outside, and I wanted her to experience it.Despite her attempts to offer feeble excuses to avoid accompanying me, I found amusement in her clumsiness. In fact, her excuses entertained me to the point that I insisted on carrying her myself.As we arrived at the hospital, I advised her to proceed inside and informed her that she would enc
Scarlett's POVTwo weeks had passed since I moved into the mansion with Ryan. I hadn't seen him since he cruelly punished me, but his whereabouts didn't concern me. Being an Alpha, he must have been very busy.The maids informed me that the needles I walked on were silver needles, and I still hadn't fully healed. I was now living with the ruthless Alpha everyone talked about, so I wasn't too shocked when I heard it.I'd heard a lot about him in my workplace, but I still didn't know who he was. In fact, my boss had an unknown relationship with him.I wondered if my boss was the one who introduced me to Alpha Ryan, because he was strict and always threatened me whenever he received any report that Scarlett was late for work again. How could he even introduce someone like me to the almighty Alpha Ryan?My healing process was like that of humans because the silver needles came into contact with my blood. I fell sick, and I was still unwell, making it difficult for me to move properly.D
Scarlett's POVHe peeked at me with a strange expression on his face, making me remove my hands from his waist immediately, but I didn't let him go. I hugged him tightly so he wouldn't walk away, and could feel my breast pressing into his back."Wait, Scarlett," he said, pulling my hands away from him. He turned towards me, crossing his arms over his chest, and began questioning me."Scarlett?""Yes, Alpha Ryan?" I answered, my hands beside me."Did I hit your head so hard that you've developed mental issues?""What?" "Why did you come out of your room like this?""I came to stop you from killing me. Why did you ask?" I innocently replied, and he scoffed."I thought you were ashamed of allowing me to see your nakedness?" I muttered under his breath, his eyes fixed on my hand that held his chest, and I immediately let go of it."I was, but I've made up my mind that I wouldn't be ashamed anymore. I'm a matured lady, and can handle the role perfectly fine, because my life is my first
Scarlett's POVThe reason I kissed him was because it seemed to be the only way to silence his threat of punishment. I was tired of hearing it, and it seemed like the only option I had. Besides, he had said I was supposed to seduce him, so I was just doing my job.He pulled away from the kiss, pulled my hands roughly from his neck, before he licked his lips, his eyes squinting at me."Why did you kiss me?""I was trying to seduce you.""Was that really why you kissed me, Miss?" He asked, and I nodded.Suddenly, he hit my head hard, making me clutch my head, my eyes widening as I looked up at his beautiful hazel eyes."You don't kiss me without my permission," he said and spanked my cheek, a peculiar smile on his face, while my hands flew to my face, covering my cheek. "Then how am I supposed to seduce you?" I half-yelled, feeling my anger rise.If I reach my limits, I might just snap."You shouldn't be asking me that. Figure it out for yourself," he said simply, pushing me to
Scarlett's POVIt then dawned on me, making me realize too late what I had just called him."B-a-s-t-a-r-d," he spelled out the word I used to insult him. Insulting the IRP Alpha in his presence was like digging one's grave, and mine has already been dug, remaining to be pushed into it and buried.Fear clouded my face as I regretted saying what I did.I knew he was staring at me through the mirror, but I refused to look up."Bastard," he said again, and I could feel his mood wavering.This time, I had to look up at him, and saw a flicker of sadness in his eyes, but it vanished just as it came.Did I bring back painful memories for him?As I continued looking at him, hoping not to find that expression which hadn't lasted up to three seconds, there was no expression on his face, no emotion in his eyes, and I sighed with relief."The brush," he said once more.Slowly and gently, I placed the brush into his hand.He took it from me and started brushing my hair, while I held my breath, ho
Scarlett's POVI turned to Ryan, hoping he would stop them, but he didn't even say a word. Besides, he was the one who started all this by giving me his pipe to smoke. I turned to the others, but they all seemed excited about it."Okay, everyone," the Beta began announcing, and everyone became quiet as they paid attention to him."Ugh… I mean, we are about teaching our future Luna how to smoke a pipe today, so everyone throw away your cigarette and pick up a pipe and light it," Beta Jayden announced, while I stared with wide eyes as they did according to what he had said."Okay, everyone. Put the pipe slightly into your lips, and suck in a little of the smoke, just a little, it can choke pretty bad if it isn't done accordingly, so be careful," he said with his gaze fixed on me, while the others did as they were told.After receiving a go-ahead nod from Ryan, I averted my eyes to the pipe between my fingers, and with squinted eyes, I brought it to my lips. I could feel everyone's gaze
Ryan's POVAfter Asher finished pouring out a gallon of fuel on the betrayer who has been busy giving out information about my pack to another rival pack, Scarlett, the lady I had bought, who almost died from a smoke tutorial demanded that I keep her down. So, I did, and we both shifted backward after Asher emptied the gallon of fuel on him.I then retreated with Scarlett, and unbeknownst to her, I had put a gun into her hand and had already walked away while she was busy watching the man.I retracted my phone from my pocket, and began scrolling through it. My agents just sent me the outcome of the under water hotel we've been constructing since last year, and that's why I've been very busy.It costs more than Billions to construct an underground hotel, and I've really invested a lot in it. But I had a problem which has left me frustrated for the past months.I needed a specific source of power supply for the underwater hotel, but the delay I'm having is that's it's a vintage (made
Ryan POV She suddenly bursted into laughter, and after staring at her for a while, I also joined her, but when everyone joined the laughter of shock, her face paled."Ryan, what is going on? Why does she look like me? Why are they all here?" She asked me again."Scarlett, you know I love you and would never lie to you anymore?" I asked, and she nodded."So now, I want you to believe me that Gianna, your late mum, and Easton aren't your parents, they're your aunt and uncle. These people here are your biological parents, I did DNA myself. If you were living with these people when you were little, your childhood would have been awesome, you wouldn't have gotten parents who hated you and didn't really care about your well being, but you got switched, your late mum exchanged you. She's not your mum, she's your aunt, she wanted her daughter, which is the original Scarlett, to live a luxurious life, while they pulled you into their shit. Easton has been arrested, and he confessed. I'll play
Ryan POVIt has been a week now, and Scarlett hasn't woken up, but has been discharged alongside the kids.We're been staying in Raven's Villa, since it wouldn't tok proper to abandon it. Wherever he was, he would be happy that the kids stayed in his house.Jayden stayed with Scarlett and the kids, alongside with the maids who were staying with her when she left the mansion to leave alone. They were trustworthy, so I had transferred them over to take care of her.I had returned to my pack for Raven's burial, and after that, I visited the royal family to do a DNA test, since I had gone with strands of Scarlett hair, and the results were shocking.My Dawson couldn't believe it, it was like I brought chaos into their always peaceful home.But when we did DNA with Ava's hair, it was even more shocking than it didn't match at all, which explained the fact that Scarlett is the original daughter. The Royal Family had no idea of who Scarlett was, and demanded to be taken to their real daught
Ryan POVI went back to Raven's house, and saw that the gammas had already left with his phone.I remained in his office, crying and regretting everything I had done to Scarlett.I spent hours praying and crying, and my heart was bleeding. Why am I an Alpha if I couldn't protect those that I loved? I couldn't save the raven from dying, and now I still can't save Scarlett. What is the extent of having such stupid power which can't raise up the dead? I couldn't explain the extent at which I hated myself, I felt so bad.I had transferred all the power I had in me to Scarlett when I was carrying her out of that building, so that she would be able to conceive the child, and also survive, and I was desperately praying to the moon goddess to make it work."Jayden, meet in Raven's Villa, we have some unfinished business to take care of," I said to Jayden through a mind link, my angry voice sounding like that of an unleashed demon.Ryan has always been called a demon, it's time to unleash out
Ryan POVThe men in the room exclaimed in shock, gasping, even Jayden, and it startled me.It was Scarlett, unconscious, her two hands tied up, and her mouth was gagged. But the worst of all was that she had a silver knife buried inside her pregnant stomach, and her white dress and pants were covered in coated blood.I staggered backwards, too shocked to do anything, so Jayden ran inside and began loosening her.The gammas also went to help, while I remained standing outside, and watched as the men immediately loosened her and carried her unconscious body out of the wall to where she could receive ventilation.They've suffocated her in that little space with no ventilation."She's still alive, she needs more breeze," Jayden announced, and immediately took off his shirt and began fanning her.The rest of the men did the same thing, and I could feel the breeze from where I was standing, leaned on the wall for support."Her water has broken, take her to a hospital," I managed to recover
Ryan POV We pulled up in the location sent to us, but was met with a heartbreaking sight.The Villa looks as though it has been visited by thugs.The details I found inside the villa explained that we were in the right place, it was my younger brother's house, but I couldn't find him or Scarlett."Could they have been abducted?" I asked, and turned to my Beta who was seated on the couch."I have no idea, Ryan. I think I saw something outside, it looks weird, I think we should check it out." Jayden stood up from where he was seated and began going outside, and I followed behind him.He led me to the garden which was at the back of the house, but the sight that welcomed us left us speechless."Raven?" I called, my eyes scanning his figure which was on the floor in the garden.I slowly approached him. I couldn't tell how I felt right now, but I was staring at the lifeless body of my younger brother, who had a silver knife buried inside his heart."Raven?" I called again, and squatted be
Ryan POVI raised my head slowly, thoughts about Scarlett racing in my mind. The possibility of being able to survive silver despite losing her wolf was having a meaning now, but I snapped out of the trance."This can't be possible, she can't possibly be exchanged at birth.""That's what the portrait is trying to tell us. The baby with blue eyes is the daughter of the Dawson's family, and is named Ava, while the baby with emerald eyes is the daughter of the Easton's family, and is named Scarlett. But right now, everything has been twisted.""Does this mean Scarlett is –""Don't mention, don't even mention it," Jayden interrupted, pacing in the room."Are you sure Scarlett doesn't have emerald eyes and we've just forgotten about it due to her absence?" I diverted my eyes to the television when Jayden's question sank in. The picture was paused on the twins, so I stood up, picked up the remote I had thrown away, and pressed the play button.Scarlett pictures, blue eyes, naturally red li
Ryan POVAfter Scarlett asked if the reason I was caring wasn't because of my child, I heard her question clearly, but chose to remain silent.I knew the answer to her question, but I had to be cautious with what I said. This lady was dying in my arms, and I didn't know what to do.The truth was that I've always cared about Scarlett.Her body went numb in my arms immediately she finished talking, and she passed out.I placed my head on her chest, checking if she was still breathing, and relief washed over me when I heard her faint heartbeat."I love you, I've always loved you, but failed to realise it. I've realised it now, that's the more reason you need to stay, I want both of you. You've struggled to accommodate him inside you, so why now? I know I hurt you, but the feelings were strange at that time," I cried, holding her protectively. I refused to give too much thought about what I was doing. I was crying over a she-wolf, but this she-wolf is the mother of my child, if anything h
Scarlett POV I was thrown away from where I was standing in front of Ryan, and was now a distance away from him.I knew my spinal cord had been damaged, and the child in my stomach had twisted really bad, to a very bad position, and I felt the air knocked out of my throat.I couldn't do anything, I couldn't move a muscle, my stomach hooked in a scary position.I remained seated on the floor, staring at Ryan's back which was facing me, and I managed to make a weak whimper.I wasn't even whimpering, I couldn't even whimper, I was only making muffled sounds like a badly wounded introvert cat.He glanced back at me, but seeing the condition I was in, unable to stand up, he rushed towards me.He tried raising me to my feet, but I cried out in pain, my legs feeling like rubber.He was scared, I could see it in his eyes, this is the first time I've seen him this scared, and it made me wonder how bad my situation was.He didn't know where to touch and raise me up, because I felt pain anywher
Scarlett POVIt injured him, but he remained seated on the couch, staring at the floor without muttering a single word.I threw the remaining part of the bucket in my hand on him, and began searching for anything I would use to hit him."You're a terrible monster!" I yelled, and began throwing the cushions on him.I threw all the cushions on the couch on him, before I proceeded to throw the cushions on his bed on him.I was breathing hard when I finished, but he still remained seated on the couch without doing anything."You're definitely going to kill me today, because if you don't, then I will kill you. You don't deserve to live," I said angrily, my cold eyes watching him, before I stumped away from him.I began destroying everything my hands could reach in his room, not minding how expensive they are.I pulled down his television from where it was hanging, and let it fall to the floor.The screen cracked immediately and landed on the floor with a thud, and I proceeded to destroy th
