Scarlett's POV His eyes squinted as he watched me while I cried, but he didn't utter a single word.I wasn't crying because I wanted to see an expression on his face; it was because of how he had interrupted me from going unconscious. He had no idea how I felt right now. That sound was too sharp for someone like me who was about to faint. I had gr...My thoughts were interrupted when I felt his lips on mine, and he kissed me. It wasn't a rough kiss, but a passionate one that made me unable to cry anymore.Butterflies erupted in my stomach, and the sensation I felt was indescribable. Sniffing, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the kiss from the man I both hated and had feelings for.He bit his lower lip when he slowly disengaged from the kiss, and my eyes fluttered open. His lips were alluringly reddish and wet from the kiss we had just shared, and the way his lips felt on mine was indescribable."You could have just told me you wanted a kiss instead of crying like that. I couldn't even
Scarlett's POVWhen I calmed down, he continued, "I thought it was a dream at first, but when I woke up, I realized it wasn't. Scarlett, that wasn't the reason I brought you here, and I won't take it lightly if you ever tell Jayden that you love him again," he said coldly, and I felt as though I was being judged. Goosebumps appeared on my skin, my face pale, already giving up on my life. I have no idea of what had gotten into me that I had to say something like that to the Beta of IRP Alpha Ryan? Jayden also looked taken aback when I said that to him, but he shrugged it off with an awkward laugh before telling me to sleep and rest. The worst part of it was that Ryan also heard it."It's not really what you're thinking, it was just a–" I tried explaining to save myself from his wrath, my head hanging low, but his sudden interruption made me swallow hard."I don't care, Scarlett. As I said earlier, I don't want to see you with any other man, no matter whoever he is. I'm the only one
Scarlett's POVI averted my eyes from him and stared silently at the floor, chewing on my lower lip."Your time starts now. I'll give you only two minutes to strip," he ordered, his aura frightening me, making me wonder if I truly wanted to clash with him. That would be like digging one's grave and burying oneself in it.I diverted my gaze to him and saw that he wasn't looking at me.His eyes were focused on his phone as he scrolled through it, his lips paused. Then, his eyes fluttered from the screen, and diverted back to the screen, but not up to a minute his sharp gaze was directed at me, and he raised an eyebrow at me."Don't you know how to strip, young Miss? Do you need some help?"I shook my head, clenching my hands beside me as I held back my tears. How could I, who has never gotten into a relationship before suddenly begin to strip in front of someone who detested females? He would definitely detest my body, and that would be a humiliation."I'm waiting. I don't have much
Scarlett's POVMy eyes widened as I watched his canines elongate, fear gripping me as my tit remained in his mouth, wet, and my face flushed at the intimacy between us. The scene was too intimate.He used his canines to graze my breast, and shivers ran down my spine, feeling his sharp fangs on my bare skin."You wouldn't bite me with those, would you?" I quavered, but he maintained his smirk, intensifying my fears. He exuded cruelty, and the idea of him sinking his sharp teeth into me didn't seem far-fetched."Do you want me to?" He asked with a calm demeanor, brushing my hair from my face, and I shook my head."Please... don't. I'll do whatever you want," I began pleading, but he interrupted me."Shhhh," he hushed me, placing his finger on my lips. He finally released my breast from his mouth, and the warmth dissipated. His lips were red and wet, and he bit his bottom lip, sandwiching it between his elongated fangs."I love your body, young Miss, which is totally beyond your expect
Ryan POVIt had been almost a month since I traveled out of the state for an urgent meeting. Due to various matters that needed my attention, I ended up spending a whole month trying to resolve issues in my companies.So many years ago, the Limelight constellation was on the brink of bankruptcy after its investment went sour. Then a mysterious man took over the company and was met with the scorn from many industry leaders who predicted that he would undoubtedly lose everything by taking over. This became a hot topic at the time.To everyone's surprise, just a year later, the mystery man at the helm of the company made a remarkable comeback. He not only managed to overcome the previous business losses, but also earned numerous accolades, establishing himself as a top financial genius. At that time, no one knew about the mysterious man, but I am him. I secretly plotted out everything according to how my dad had explained to me before he passed out. It was his wish I was only fulfill
Ryan's POVFinally, we arrived at the entrance to the mansion's compound which was marked by an impressive gate made of intricately wrought iron.As it swung open on its own, my driver drove the limousine into the magnificent driveway lined with vibrant flowers, and manicured hedges stretched out before us. The path was adorned with elegant lamp posts which illuminated the way, creating a magical ambiance during the evening hours.He drove through the driveway which leads to a circular courtyard, a centerpiece of breathtaking beauty. In the center, a sparkling fountain stands tall, its cascading waters adding a soothing melody to the peaceful surroundings. The fountain was adorned with intricate sculptures of wolves, and surrounded by blooming flower beds, boasting a vibrant palette of colors.The mansion itself is a sight to behold. With its stately facade, adorned with grand columns and ornate carvings, it commands attention and admiration.Impeccably maintained gardens surrounde
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,
Ryan's POV I ran out of the elevator and headed towards the room Jayden had mentioned through our mindlink. The door was already open, and I stood there, my mouth falling open, hands clenched beside me as I listened to their conversation."Mrs. Ryan, where would you like me to start?" he asked calmly, his hands stroking her hair.Normally, ladies would gesture to their hair cascading down their backs, but Scarlett was different. She pointed to her head, and Jaxon's eyes widened, retracting his hand."Here?" he asked, gently touching her head."Yes," she replied calmly, her gaze fixed on the mirror. I wondered if she had already seen me."Are you really sure about this?""Yes, sir. I'm sure," she answered, and Jaxon nodded."Okay... I can assure you that you've chosen the perfect style for yourself. Shaving off all your hair would suit you perfectly, Mrs. Ryan."He spoke sarcastically, and I was certain that the clumsy lady sitting there also knew he was saying the opposite of the tr
