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
Scarlett's POVAfter Ryan left my room, that was the last time I saw him. I remained alone in this big mansion, dying of boredom. Jayden, however, had been keeping me company, but I decided not to stay idle. He had told me to learn seduction before he left, so I decided to dwell on it. I made a request for all the equipment I'll need for sketching, and they were all provided. I spent a sleepless night searching for porn pictures online, and I drew them in order to keep myself busy. I began with making an imaginary sketch of the porn video he had shown to me the time we were together. The maids assigned for my room were always with me, assisting me in their own little way. They told me the different mating styles they knew, and I searched online for more ideas. My hands still ache from numerous drawings and writings, but it's worth it. My life is always my first priority.After so many studies and sleepless nights, it's good to say I'm now good at seduction. Being good at seduction
Scarlett's POVI wore a wide smile on my face as I approached Jayden, but he seemed confused by my expression. I walked closer, and he shifted backward. I took two steps closer, causing him to retreat two steps as well. I still had a wide smile on my face, while he squinted at me, raising a brow.With each movement, his nervousness became apparent, and I couldn't help but chuckle.Tiptoeing, I pressed my hands against the wall, him between my body and the barrier. He looked down at me with a mix of apprehension and curiosity, while I maintained my smile, gazing up at him.There was only an inch of space between us. However, I quickly diverted my attention and leaned toward his ear."I want a haircut, a very awkward one, so which stylist can do that?" I whispered softly, causing him to shift further back, his sharp emerald eyes observing the inches between us. I pulled away and stood on my feet, after noticing what he repeatedly did. "You want a haircut?" he asked, squinting at me, h
Scarlett's POVI shook my head and walked closer to Jayden while still maintaining a safe distance, my hands over my chest."It's the haircut I want.""A haircut? What kind of haircut do you want? Because I don't think Ryan would be pleased to hear that," he replied, his eyes narrowing."I want to shave my hair," I stated, causing his eyes to widen. He seemed to choke on his saliva and began coughing, turning away from me."Are you okay?" I asked, concerned. I wanted to help him soothe his back, but he stopped me, creating a distance between us."I'm fine," he managed to say, clearing his throat and coughing again."Did you say you want to shave your head?" he asked, staring at me with narrowed eyes as if I had lost my mind."Yes, I want to shave my hair. But I don't think I'll be allowed to leave this mansion, so I want you to call a hairstylist to come over."He stood up straight and nodded in acknowledgement."I didn't know you had a mental illness," he muttered under his breath, ea
Scarlett's POVWe remained chatting on the balcony when a maid approached us with a spray bottle. She knelt before Jayden, offering it to him, and he retrieved it from her."You can leave," he dismissed her, and she immediately stood up and hurriedly left, while we watched her retreat. It wasn't oblivious that she was an omega like me.The fragrance of the spray when Jayden unsealed the cover caught my attention, and I diverted my eyes to it.We both observed it, and while Jayden was busy reading its content, all that caught my attention was seduction."Perfect seduction, it's worth millions," he shifted it from my intense gaze, and I averted it."It seems it's for seduction. Perfect erect seduction, it's absolutely for seduction, so you bought the wrong spray. Could it be you want to seduce a woman? Who is that lucky goddess that finally caught your attention?""If anyone tells you that I want to seduce or have an affair with a woman, Scarlett would you believe them?""Of course, I
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
