Ryan's POV I couldn't wait for him to complete his statement. I lunged forward and started throwing punches at him, pinning him against the wall. All thanks to him, I was already pissed off, beating him because of a woman. How could he? Death is the punishment for such an offense. Knowing who my Beta is, he isn't interested in women, so him talking this way was confusing. It was also frustrating, reasons being that the lady he was referring to is the only she-wolf who could bear me a child.He tried defending himself, but his attempts were feeble because he was only protecting himself from my hits. If he was really interested in a fight, the mansion won't be able to contain us, and all the gammas here wouldn't be able to seperate the both of us if a fight breaks out.I landed several blows to his face, causing his lips to bleed. Realizing that I was crossing a line, I abruptly stopped, unclenched my fist, and released my grip on his shirt. It was Scarlett I was supposed to kill,

Scarlett's POVAfter Ryan left my room, that was the last time I saw him. I remained alone in this big mansion, dying of boredom. Jayden, however, had been keeping me company, but I decided not to stay idle. He had told me to learn seduction before he left, so I decided to dwell on it. I made a request for all the equipment I'll need for sketching, and they were all provided. I spent a sleepless night searching for porn pictures online, and I drew them in order to keep myself busy. I began with making an imaginary sketch of the porn video he had shown to me the time we were together. The maids assigned for my room were always with me, assisting me in their own little way. They told me the different mating styles they knew, and I searched online for more ideas. My hands still ache from numerous drawings and writings, but it's worth it. My life is always my first priority.After so many studies and sleepless nights, it's good to say I'm now good at seduction. Being good at seduction

Scarlett's POVI shook my head and walked closer to Jayden while still maintaining a safe distance, my hands over my chest."It's the haircut I want.""A haircut? What kind of haircut do you want? Because I don't think Ryan would be pleased to hear that," he replied, his eyes narrowing."I want to shave my hair," I stated, causing his eyes to widen. He seemed to choke on his saliva and began coughing, turning away from me."Are you okay?" I asked, concerned. I wanted to help him soothe his back, but he stopped me, creating a distance between us."I'm fine," he managed to say, clearing his throat and coughing again."Did you say you want to shave your head?" he asked, staring at me with narrowed eyes as if I had lost my mind."Yes, I want to shave my hair. But I don't think I'll be allowed to leave this mansion, so I want you to call a hairstylist to come over."He stood up straight and nodded in acknowledgement."I didn't know you had a mental illness," he muttered under his breath, ea

Scarlett's POVNow, I was seated in the room where I would shave my hair. The man Jayden had introduced as Jaxon stood behind me, arranging his equipment. I silently prayed that he would work quickly, as he seemed to be taking his time."Mrs. Ryan?""Yes?""Why are you giving out such a weird fragrance?" My face paled immediately, and I facepalmed, pinching my cheeks."It isn't coming from me, it's from a passing maid," I replied immediately. But then I felt his fingers stroking my face, down to my cleavage, and I stiffened."What are you doing!!?" I half yelled, and he seemed to snap out of whatever he was falling into."I'm doing nothing, Mrs Ryan. It's just that there is this strange fragrance protruding from you, and it's overwhelming." I bit my lower lip, gradually shaking my head. I looked from the mirror to confirm if the door was open, and luckily for me it was wide open."Thanks for your compliments, but could you please start already so that I'll leave with this overwhelmi

Scarlett's POVI didn't know where the courage came from, but the words spilled out before I could stop them. That wasn't good courage, it was a dead wish. I shouldn't have said that. I gnashed my teeth painfully, wishing not to have said that, but it spilled out before I could realize I wasn't supposed to say such a thing to him. I was sincerely tired, I only told him the truth."What did you say?" he asked, and I noticed a combination of bewilderedness and anger in his voice, but I remained silent, not daring to meet his gaze. I had touched the tail of a lion.Suddenly, he yanked my hair up, and I winced as our eyes met. This was exactly why I wanted to shave off all my hair, he doesn't know the pain I endured whenever he pulled my hair like this. I saw a flash of anger in his eyes, but my gaze then fell on the gun in his hands, and my eyes widened. Would he really kill me as I've said?Using the gun, he lifted my face, and my breath hitched as I felt the cold metal against my chi
