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 POVHe approached me and squatted in front of me. He looked as stunning as always, and a strange feeling coursed through me. A Very Important Tycoon was right in front of me. Not only that, he was also an Alpha."Scarlett?" he called again, causing me to snap out of the trance his beauty had put me in."Yes?" I answered simply, continuing to chew on my cheese.He remained silent for a while, his gaze fixed on me. I felt completely uncomfortable, but didn't make it obvious."Just 'yes'? Scarlett, tell me, where are your manners?" He asked calmly, and again, I stopped chewing on my cheeses, which I had been doing casually."I'm sorry, Alpha Ryan, but I think I left them at home. I wasn't given a chance to carry my belongings along with me."His facial expression changed, and I wondered if I had done something wrong."Why don't you follow instructions, Scarlett?""Instructions..." I muttered under my breath. It suddenly dawned on me that I had answered him with a simple 'yes'
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
Scarlett's POVI couldn't utter a word, neither could I do anything about it."Yelling at me wasn't the right option, Scarlett.""But I didn't yell at you.""So I'm lying?""I half yelled, I didn't yell.""What's the difference?""It's half.""So the other is full? Scarlett, you're out of your mind. Me making decisions for you means that you tell me what you want, and if I don't like it, you choose something else. How difficult is that?""That's my point.""What is your point?" He asked with squinted eyes, staring at me as if I was losing my mind."What if what you don't want is what I want?""You'll have to give up what you want and accept what I want.""You can't be serious.""Say that again, and let's see what happens," he dared. But I didn't say a word; I just pressed my lips together tightly.Everything fell silent, and I heaved a sigh, thinking he wouldn't ask me any more questions. But then, he spoke again."Why did you want to shave every strand of hair on your head?"That was
Scarlett's POVThe pain I felt flooded my senses, and I had the sudden urge to cry."Ryan…" I moaned his name, feeling both pleasure and pain, which was confusing."Ryan… it's becoming intense," I said, gasping for breath as I winced."What's becoming intense?"His breath brushed against my sensitive spot as he spoke, making me shudder. He didn't pull away, instead, he continued pushing his tongue deeper into my wet pussy."Ouch… it's the pain. What are you doing?"My teeth were clenched, and my hands covered my mouth to stifle any cries of pain. I sucked on my bottom lip, resting my head on the headrest of the sofa, moaning in pain.All this was an act to prevent myself from crying out and pushing him off me. I could feel the pleasure, but the pain was also present."You're damn wet and tight, Scarlett. I'm preparing you for when we'll mate, so it wouldn't be difficult, and you'll be ready for me. But if it's too painful, you can hold my head and pull me closer," he explained, pushin
Scarlett's POVI handed him the towel, noticing that he still had his black gloves on. He took it from me with his left hand, replacing the blood-soaked towel from his nose. He placed the soaked one in my hands, but the blood continued to flow. It was still flowing as freely as before.I felt his gaze on me as he handed me the bloody towel, but my eyes remained fixated on his gloves.Why does he always wear gloves?Could this be part of his illness?"Ryan, are you sure you're okay? Should we go to a hospital?" I asked, looking down at the bloodied towel."Don't repeat what you just said, Scarlett," he warned, hitting me on the head. There was a clear warning in his voice, and I nodded.He stared at my hair without turning away, so I reached up to touch my head and see if there was something there. He slapped my hand away, and I quickly pulled it back, hid it behind me, and soothed the sting I felt from his slap.I blinked at him in confusion, wondering what was going on, but he did
Harper's POVSeated in my luxurious room, I focused on my phone while chatting with my friends. I had just returned from overseas last week and was spending my vacation with my family, in my dad's villa. It had been a long time since I visited my pack due to my studies abroad. Now, as a graduate in accounting, I was a professional accountant.I'm the only daughter of Alpha Cromwell, belonging to the wildlife pack. At twenty-eight, with brown hair and chestnut eyes, I hadn't found my mate yet. So, upon my return, I decided to throw a grand get-together party, which my dad had approved. It was happening tonight, and all my childhood friends were invited. I hoped to find my mate among the attendees, but if not, I'd have to search in other packs.I desired a mate wealthier than myself, as my father was one of the richest Alphas globally. I heard a knock on the door and placed my phone on the floor beside my bed. Rising from the floor, I headed to the door to check who was there. After
Ryan's POVI watched as Scarlett walked into the bathroom, her shoulders slumped, tears staining her face. I knew she was crying, and I felt a pang in my chest after noticing how sympathetic her mood was.But before I could reason why I felt that way towards a she-wolf, the feeling vanished.After she closed the door, I turned my gaze away and sighed, my eyes landing on my broken phone lying on the floor. It wasn't her fault that it got broken, but I couldn't care. In my frustration, I knew she would face consequences for even the smallest mistakes she made. It was normal since she was living in the psychotic Alpha's mansion.If she hadn't carried my phone to mirror herself, it wouldn't have been damaged now.The phone was expensive, but its value meant nothing to me. I could easily replace it, and the price was inconsequential. After all, I had purchased it with some million, and I could afford hundreds of that brand without a second thought.The sound of running water reached my e
