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
