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
Ryan's POVI became worried, wondering what had happened to my dad. Why was he suddenly cold and limp? Nervously, I wanted to wake him up, but the thought of disturbing him if he was sleeping made me remain calm.Hours passed, and my father still didn't wake up. He didn't move a muscle or stir in his sleep. He just remained cold.Then, I noticed his chest wasn't rising and falling, the sign of life. A doctor walked in, and my heart skipped a beat. The doctor covered my dad's whole body with a white sheet, causing me to stand up from my seat.I watched in disbelief as my dad was completely covered. I couldn't find the words to speak. Covering someone with a sheet usually meant one thing, but it couldn't be the case for my father.When I asked the doctor why he had covered my father's body, I noticed he addressed me as an Alpha. He invited me to his office for a conversation, and that's when he delivered the news. I immediately doubted and rejected it from my generation, returning to
Harper's PovMy eyes widened, and I turned to my friends who were in the pool. Had I mistakenly heard my brother say "mate"?Following my brother's gaze, I saw that he was staring at Allison, who had a shy smile on her face. Everyone was quiet, as no one was expecting what had just happened."Oh my gosh, Allison!" I yelled her name, snapping her out of her daze. She turned to me, her smile deepening, and immediately hid under the water. I could hear my other friends giggling, so I turned to Ethan."Ethan, is she your mate?" I inquired. When he nodded, I pounced on him in joy. My friend was mated to my elder brother. Who would have expected such a thing?"Congratulations, brother," I said, disengaging from the hug. He had a slight smile on his face.Hand in hand, we approached the pool together, eager to meet his new mate.Once we reached the pool, he crouched down and focused his gaze on Allison, who was hiding in the water."What's her name?" he whispered to me, and I couldn't help b
Ryan's POVAs I entered the elevator, I stood at a corner and absentmindedly wanted to twirl my phone in my fingers. Then it hit me—I no longer had it, and a small smile crept onto my face.Having Scarlett by my side wasn't as terrible as I thought. She seemed decent, but was forcing herself to act like a whore.The way she glares and frowns whenever she says nasty things makes it obvious that she was also affected by what she says.I couldn't help but wonder why she couldn't defend herself when I questioned her about kissing Jayden. I knew she wouldn't do it, but her response was far from pleasing, and it made me pissed off. She would still be punished for that anyway, all thanks to her flimsiness.Having someone who could disturb me and destroy my things was something I had never experienced before, so having Scarlett around wasn't such a bad idea. However, I didn't want to develop feelings for her, and I certainly didn't want her to fall for me either. It would only bring more chaos
Harper's POVZoey yelled, causing us to cover our ears and shoot her glares."I'm so sorry for that, but we're running late." "Yeah, it's true," Allison added. I glanced at the wall clock before turning back to my friends."So... Which outfit did you choose for me?" I asked curiously. They held up a wine-colored dress with a long split that could reveal my thighs and cleavage.We had all gone to a boutique together to get our outfits, and I remembered them selecting this dress among others. It was eye-catching, adorned with flower designs. Surprisingly, it cost five hundred thousand dollars, which was less than I had expected."But isn't this too revealing?" I complained, eyeing the dress skeptically."We all know how revealing it is. You have a perfect body; there's nothing to hide. You need to chill, girlie, show them what you've got and stop hiding such perfection," Zoey replied, her actions matching her words.I observed Zoey's face as she spoke but ended up facepalming."You all
