Scarlett POV:After completing a long, exhausting day at my part-time job, I finally arrived home, only to be greeted with a forceful push from Gianna, my stepmother. It felt as though she had been eagerly waiting for my return, ready to unleash her anger upon me.My name is Scarlett, and I am the only daughter and child in my family. Oh, and did I mention that I'm a she-wolf? It's an essential part of who I am, though it seems irrelevant in the face of the challenges I endure.Gianna, or at least the woman who married my father, has been relentlessly cruel to me. The pain she inflicts on me knows no bounds as if I'm nothing more than a punching bag for her frustrations.I'm twenty-five years old, but she treats me as if I'm a helpless sixteen-year-old. It's suffocating, the way she controls every aspect of my life. I work as a salesgirl in a popular supermarket, and I have to admit, it's one of the few aspects of my life that I enjoy.To be honest, when I learned about the death of
Scarlet's Pov I stirred in my cozy bed as the first rays of sunlight filtered through my window, painting the room with a soft golden hue. With a gentle yawn, I stretched my arms and kicked off the covers.Peeking my eyes open due to the sunlight which was penetrating the room, I groaned as I tried massaging my hurting nape.I immediately sat up on my bed when it dawned on me that the sun has already risen.Turning to my wall clock, I sat up on my bed.I was in for another trouble. I have overslept because of how exhausted I was from yesterday's stress at work, and the beating I received from Gianna."I'm in trouble," I murmured with a shaking voice as I covered my face with my cushion.I immediately jumped off my bed and ran into my small bathroom and brushed my mouth, before moving quietly to my door.I placed my ears on it, trying to confirm with my wolf ability if Gianna was already there waiting for me.I could only wonder why she didn't come banging on my door.When I heard no
Scarlet's Pov "Pervert!" I yelled in fear as he immediately ran out of the room."What? Is this what Father expects me to face?" I questioned, my hands running through my hair."Gosh, it isn't even up to a day since he arrived and this is happening?"I ran down the stairs into the sitting room with my handbag in my hand as my black hair danced behind me.If I needed to pull through, I will have to be strong.I was about to walk out of the house when my name was suddenly called by a strange voice, I stopped and turned to my family who were eating together at the dining table."What is it?" I asked as I turned towards them. I was in a hurry and had no time for shitty chats."Scarlett, could you join us for breakfast before you leave?" Owen asked me, which made me raise a brow at him."He is a bold one," I thought, how dare he ask such a question after looking at me dressing up? "Gosh.""No, I'm not," I replied bluntly and turned to leave, but Gianna's voice made me clench my hands bes
Scarlet's Pov I opened my eyes immediately, the cool breeze that brushed over my face made me bat my blue iris eyes open, as my hair danced in rhyme to the breeze.I was met by the dimly lit lights of the quiet supermarket, and that was when it dawned on me that I was still in the supermarket. "Oh shit, Clara didn't wake me?"Reaching out for my phone from my bag, I was shocked by the time which was written on the screen of my phone. It was 00:32."It's already midnight," I muttered to myself as I was scared of what would happen when I reached home.I was the only one left in this big supermarket.I stood up and picked up my bag before I began walking out of the dark supermarket, which source of light was coming from the dimly lit bulbs, surrounded by goods."Why didn't anyone wake me up? Or didn't they see me because of where I stayed?" I facepalmed as I remembered that I had hidden myself in-between goods so that I could sleep.I still felt sleepy but continued walking out of the b
Scarlet's pov He suddenly squatted in front of me, and I quickly turned away from him, but he used his fingers to raise my face as he stared at me, while I immediately cleaned away the tears from my face.Was I about to die? Was he about to kill me? I felt very weak as I stared up at him. He was powerful and muscularly built, and even though I couldn't see his face properly, I could only admit that he looked like a demigod.But I winced, and it seems it made him snap out of whatever he was thinking of before he suddenly carried me in his arms and walked out of the supermarket."Where are you taking me to?" I asked as he carried me out of the supermarket, but he didn't reply, and when I turned, I saw a black car which was parked under a tree in the darkness of the night.The car looked familiar, but the pain I felt and the throbbing headache in my head couldn't let me think straight.I winced and hissed in pain. This strange man that was carrying me in his arms had caused me too muc
Jayden's POVSeated in my room, I fixed my gaze on the picture of a lady displayed on my computer screen. The room was adorned with computers, reflecting my deep affinity for technology. I preferred the seclusion of this mansion where I could exert control over the country from the shadows.I earned the reputation of a brilliant computer wizard, but my connection with Alpha Ryan went beyond friendship. It was a brotherhood forged through trials and tribulations. As the gatekeeper of vital information, I played a crucial role in Ryan's life, ensuring he stayed ahead in the world of innovation.My sharp mind and deep understanding of technology made me an invaluable asset to Ryan. As the Alpha and CEO of numerous companies and Technology, Ryan relied on me to ensure that he remained ahead of the game in the ever-evolving world of innovation. I was responsible for passing on critical updates, market trends, and insider knowledge, enabling Ryan to make informed decisions that propell
Jayden's POVOur Alpha had a traumatic childhood, but I still couldn't conclude that it was a psychotic problem, because I believed that there was still hope for him.It's more like a deep-seated issue he carries.He isn't totally mentally stable and not completely aware of his actions when his psychosis takes over.To make the case worse, he harbors a strange resentment and hatred towards she-wolves.It makes me wonder how he plans to have an heir.I've tried asking to know if he would consider a medical sperm transfer without mating, but he always makes no reply.All of this stems from the behavior of our former Luna.She had shown the entire pack that she was tired of being a Luna and left on her own.Her abrupt departure traumatized her family, resulting in the early death of our former Alpha (Ryan's father), causing her son to suffer from psychosis.The pack also experienced the consequences of her actions, and we all suffered as a result.But with the help of our new Alpha, Ryan
Ryan's POVI hissed in anger as I drove out of the mansion, cursing under my breath.At that moment, I instantly regretted why I had decided to pay him a visit before I left.It brought back alarming and terrible memories which left me lost and heartbroken.I drove furiously, not minding the cops as I cursed.Why now? I know I did the right thing, but the pain was unbearable. The pack needed what I didn't want. They needed a Luna, and I refuse to have a Luna all thanks to my psychosis.I felt satisfied and comfortable for detesting she-wolves, it was like a justice for my dad. But the weight was excessively heavy on me.~ I am Ryan, Alpha of the blue sea pack, the most dominant pack in the region.I'm a thirty – year – old man known for my cruel and psychotic behaviour.I received an invitation to the state dinner hosted by the open door pack.I was aware that I would find my mate there, and she happened to be the only daughter of Alpha Ryker, Alpha of the open door pack.I was gree
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
