Scarlett's POVOut of fear, I wanted to shift backward to create some space between us, but Jayden's grip suddenly tightened, and he pulled me closer.He began softly patting my back, and I almost gasped, but then I met Ryan's expressionless hazel eyes, and my heart skipped.Had he seen us being so close?It then dawned on me why Jayden had pulled me to himself. If I didn't act along, I would be in grave danger, because it would seem as if we were… we're too close. I had to do something which wouldn't make this look like a compromising situation, but what should I do? Ryan was watching us quietly.I used my hands to rub my eyes and started fake crying. I shed crocodile tears, trying my best to make them look real as I avoided Ryan's gaze."I'm in pain everywhere. Ahhhh... my head... Ouch... my back... Ahhhh, my legs... my eyes... my ears… Mr Beta... I'm... I'm... dying... you need to bury me right now... ouch... my hair, my feet have been addled, I'm… I'm not healing," I continued cr
Ryan's POVI fluttered my eyelids open, but the first thing I saw was my Beta seated at the other end of the hospital room. I sighed and closed my eyes again, feeling dizzy. However, I couldn't resist the urge to open them once more, realizing that morning had already arrived.My Beta's voice made me turn towards him as I rubbed my nape. "You know, you make me wonder if you're the patient here," he remarked, causing me to squint my eyes."Jayden, what are you doing here?" I asked calmly, maintaining a composed expression on my face."I just came to watch over you and... our Luna.""You can be funny sometimes. Can you tell me when I made her a Luna?" I asked, creasing my brows."I don't know," he replied with a shrug. "I thought that since she'll be the mother of our future Alpha, that title would be best for her.""Jayden, you shouldn't make such decisions on your own. I haven't accepted her as my Luna, so don't assume she'll immediately adopt that title and start using it. I don't
Scarlett's POVMy eyelids flew open, and I watched as Ryan and Jayden walked into the room, the sound of their shoes tapping softly as they approached. I held my breath when my eyes met Ryan's. They had changed their outfits, which meant they had either reached the mansion or stayed at a hotel. I really don't know, but I wasn't interested in bothering myself with that because I felt like I was dying under their intense gazes.My scrutinized gaze followed them until they reached my bed, and thanks to the moon goddess I was getting familiar with the strange handsomeness these men possessed.I continued staring at them even when they stood beside my bed, but I remained silent. My focus was solely on Ryan, and from my side view, I could see Jayden turn from me to Ryan before turning back to me. A smirk appeared on Jayden's face, and he slowly departed from the room. My attention was on his retreating figure, but before I could shift my gaze to Ryan, he used his jacket to hit my head,
Scarlett's POVThe urge to hide washed over me, and I met his piercing Icy gaze, but immediately transferred my gaze to somewhere else.With fear evident in my eyes, I watched as he removed my hairnet and tossed it onto the bed. His hands gently unraveled my bun, and my long black hair loosened, cascading down my shoulders and back.He began twisting strands of my hair in his hands as I kept my gaze fixed on the floor. There was an awkward silence between us, and I silently prayed for him to say, ''Lets go.'' At least I can be safe in my room in the mansion."Scarlett?""Yes?""Look at me," he said calmly. I raised my head immediately, catching a flicker of emotions in his eyes. But as I blinked my lashes, they vanished.A sudden pull on my hair made me wince, but I refrained from touching my head to soothe the pain since Ryan was still holding it."Were you even listening to me?" His voice turned cold again, and goosebumps rose on my skin."Was there something you were saying?" I a
Ryan POVI watched as she cried, wanting me to let go of her hair, but I didn't.It amused me to see her tears, but my motive for pulling her hair had nothing to do with that. It also wasn't because she had called me a psychotic Alpha.It was because she was becoming disrespectful. She thought she could be familiar with me, but she had no clue about who I truly was. It was just a little lesson, that's all. But it seems she'll make a big deal out of it, moreover, she is now a weak wolf.She grabbed ahold of my hand, attempting to free herself from my grip. That was a disrespect I couldn't let slide. I knew I could kill her right now, and I wouldn't hesitate to do if she dares does the slightest thing I hate."Let go of my hand, Scarlett," I warned, making it clear that I wasn't joking. Still, she held onto my hand, crying and pleading for me to release her hair. Her pleas didn't affect me, but my heart ached for what I'll do in the next moment. She was pulling herself into a mess, sh
Ryan's POVIt has been two months since the incident involving Scarlett. She has been in a coma all this time, not opening her eyes once, but she is still breathing.I took her away from the hospital, and she has been receiving treatment in the mansion. I haven't seen her in those two months, but I don't really care. I have been busy all through, so it was even.It's up to her to decide if she wants to wake up from her coma or not.If I were in her shoes, I wouldn't even consider waking up. I would have died a long time ago, before I was born.I punished the doctors in a way that suited them. They would work for a month without pay, and anyone slacking off would be killed. That's the punishment they deserve. I wanted to make it a year, but I have nothing to do with their payment.Sitting at my desk in the office, I stared out of the floor to ceiling window. My fingers tapped on the table and I gently tapped my feet on the floor. I had work to do, but I couldn't focus on anything or an
Scarlett's POVThe feeling of being pulled out of a dark tunnel and back into consciousness was like being reborn.Gradually, I regained awareness of my surroundings and let out a weak groan, exhaling a hot breath from my mouth.Opening my eyes was a struggle, so I remained lying on the bed like a newborn baby with no memory. Numbness consumed me, and I didn't even recognize myself.With my eyes still closed and my senses hazy, I started seeing my wolf in a blurry vision.It had been so many years since I last saw my wolf, so tears escaped my eyes as I imagined her.I had no idea what my parents did to me, but they claimed it was necessary to keep me safe.When I was fifteen, they injected me with a greenish liquid using a hypodermic syringe. They said it was my medication, but since then, I've been unable to transform into my wolf.My wolf was always the odd one in my family. While the rest of the pack had fur of a single color, mine had two colors and emitted a radiant light.It fel
Scarlett's POVI had been crying for what felt like an eternity, oblivious to the passing time and uninterested in knowing it.My hair was disheveled, my eyes red, and my trembling lips quivered as tears streamed down my face.I had expected my nurse to leave, but she stayed by my side, attempting to console me with soothing words. However, her efforts were in vain.How could I have developed feelings for an Alpha? Not any other Alpha but Ryan?I couldn't pinpoint when it had happened, but now I was in pain. Why hadn't Ryan ended my life completely while I was in a coma for two months? Why did he let me wake up?"Why didn't he kill me? Why didn't I die in that coma? Why did I survive?" The words caught in my throat, and the emotional turmoil overwhelmed me."Shhhh, don't say that. We're all relieved that you woke up," the nurse whispered, trying to comfort me.I lifted my head from the tear-soaked bedsheet and stared at the nurse with my puffy, red eyes."You're all relieved that I wo
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
