Scarlett POV"Approximately three and a half weeks. You've been sleeping pretty fine, you need the rest, and the development exhausts alot, so you feel free to sleep for as long as you can. Since you're awake, you must feel hungry, so all you have to do is wake Alpha up and tell him you're hungry. It's a normal thing to be a pain in the neck and disturb everyone around you, act like a kid, be rude at times, crying almost always, feeling easily irritated, and many others. Whatever changes you see in your attitude is just fine, being pregnant is pretty fun, so enjoy, and make sure you disturb as many people as you can, it's an opportunity but once," he said with smiles on his face, before he left the room and closed the door behind.When he opened the door to leave, I saw some security standing outside and watching over the door to our room.I've been sleeping for almost a month and haven't woken up even once? I thought I died? To me it felt like it was yesterday.My stomach has increas
Scarlett POV"Congratulations then. I don't even want to know who she is," I said and looked away from him."I'll describe who she is, so you wouldn't get jealous of an imaginary lady. Her eyes are turquoise blue, she has short black silk hair, and red natural lips," he said, and I sighed."I know, she should be a goddess to be able to seduce the almighty Alpha Ryan," I grumbled under my breath, feeling a hint of jealousy for this unknown lady.I peeked at him through my peripheral view, and saw him staring at me."What? Why are you staring at me like that? Don't think I'm jealous, because I don't give a fuck. You can go ahead and bring her into your mansion, but why tell me?" I asked, not wanting to feel bad about anything.He averted his eyes from me, his eyes looking absent minded as he stared into space. I also looked away from him, lied back on the bed, backing him, and pulled the duvet up to cover myself.I tried making myself fall asleep, but then I heard Ryan's voice from behi
Scarlett POVMy face was buried into the crook of Ryan's neck as he continued strolling through the hospital corridor, communicating with his phone, and when I tapped his shoulders, he turned to me.We were actually turning heads here, but Ryan didn't seem to care."Keep me down," I said when our eyes met. "Aren't you comfortable?" He asked, and immediately I nodded, he squatted for me to be able to go down.After I went down from his back, he stopped up and turned to me, before pulling me to himself and wrapping his hand around my waist, still communicating through his phone."I told you, you wouldn't be comfortable if I carried you that way," he leaned and whispered into my ears, before straightening up and continuing to communicate with his phone."I'm hungry," I told him after waiting for a while, and his call hadn't ended.He looked down at me but didn't say anything, he only began stroking my hair.I rested on his chest, so I raised my hand to his neck, and gently caressed his

Scarlett POV"You're obviously not okay, Scarlett, tell me what happened. Just tell me everything, and I'll deal with whoever hurt you," he said angrily, and thoughts were racing in my mind. I really did want him to beat Ryan, because Ryan has hurt me badly every since we crossed paths, and he was still hurting me."It's Ryan, Jayden. Ryan is a psychopath, what did you expect when you left me with him? He snaps at me even when I try to care for him, I don't know what to do anymore, Jayden. I tried to tolerate because I have no option, but I can't take it anymore. I.. I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to say, but I want to go back to my parents, I.. I don't like it here, I want to go back to my dad, my step mom should have left by now, I just want to go back to my pack," I cried, staring down blurrily at my hand which I was fiddling with on my thighs.Silence was what took over, only the sound of my sobs could be heard, but Jayden's voice broke the silence as he asked, "Wh
Scarlett POV"It's impossible to live with you without telling you to shut up. You'll pack into another apartment with Jayden once he's back. He should be capable of taking care of you and protecting you at the same time." After he ended what he was saying, the car came to an abrupt halt."Do you know how to drive?" He suddenly asked without turning to me. I wasn't surprised by his question, because I knew driving in this state was difficult for him."It's been a while since I drove a car–" I began saying, but heard him wince. This is the first time he's making a sound of someone in pain."Do you have a license?" He asked further, and I nodded."When last did you drive?""Twenty.""Come over," he said, and immediately, the back side of the seat beside the driver seat he was seated in disappeared, and I was able to cross over.He pulled the door open and went down from the car, and closed the door, while I sat in his position.I noticed the back of his dress was soaked with blood, but
Scarlett POV When I turned, I saw the men climbing down the stairs with an elegant blue beautiful cake."Oh my god," I exclaimed, my hands covering my mouth when the cake was placed on a table in front of me."Did you all make this?" I asked, but Ryan's uncle shook his head."We bought it, and the price is mind blowing," he whispered into my ears, and I chuckled."Please go ahead and cut the cake. We've been starving ever since we heard you've woken up, so we can help you eat enough of it," one of them announced, and we all bursted into laughter."That's true," another one supported, and the rest nodded.The cake was made to look like heaps of dollars, and just by looking at it, anyone could tell it wasn't just an ordinary cake.A knife looking like a dagger was handed to me, and I collected it, before cutting the cake.I also had to pop the champagne, but before I did that, I noticed Jayden's brother walked back into the sitting room with a man, before he joined us, while the man hea
Scarlett POV"There's no need to ask me why I chose to suffer for you, because the truth is, it's just nature. Even a random stranger would do that, it's just an instinct in action. Seeing an acid poured in your direction, I couldn't let it touch any part of your body since it'll take you eternity to heal from that. And your beautiful face, your beautiful belly," he paused, and sighed, before continuing, "yours would have been the worst, because it would have ruined your beautiful body. I'll find out who he is, he won't get away with what he began. Anyway, this hurts as hell," he said, but made a muffled noise as he try adjusting his body on this bed. I could tell he was feeling discomfort.Concerning what he said, I couldn't tell if it was true. I don't think any stranger would risk their life for a beautiful lady. I didn't know what to say, I could only listen to what he was saying.He remained quiet without saying anything as he silently stared at the ceiling, while I gently stroked
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
