Ryan's POVHe accepted the bottle of water and drank it before his cough began to reduce. It seemed this one had shocked him really bad."What do you think? Should I help you get a partner?" I asked with seriousness laced in my voice, and I awaited his response. If his answer is yes, I swear to the moon goddess, I'll kill this Beta of mine.He learned how not to have feelings since we were little, so him becoming gay was a waste of time since passionate feelings are still attached to the gay thing."No, the moon goddess forbids that! I'm not a fucking gay, man. I do not have feelings for the opposite sex. I was only kidding.""You better not. Besides, I know you're not gay," was all I replied after giving him the "you're lucky look, and I turned away."Then why did you have to bring JR into it?""What's wrong with you? Isn't JR my gamma?" I raised a questioning brow. The way Jayden behaves about that guy is giving me a second thought."I've told you, Ryan, I don't like that guy. Don't
Scarlett's POVI woke up with no idea of what had happened to me after I was tied underwater, but the experience was terrible.I looked around, only to see that I was in the woods. Fear gripped me as I thought it was the Dark Woods again, but this one didn't have the same dangerous vibes as the Dark Woods.I was in a dry, vast area, lying on the ground, and could smell the hard earth. There were woods around, but they weren't close to where I was. They were some distance away.I spotted two ladies seated some distance away from each other, dressed in black outfits, while I was dressed in a white free shirt and white shorts.I slowly sat up, feeling my body aching, and I groaned."Why am I still alive?" I grumbled to myself, facepalming. The sun was shining, but the distant tree leaves created a shade that darkened the area and other parts of the woods.On top of a rock, a long distance away from where I was with the other two ladies, I spotted the mansion's residents gathered.It then
Scarlett's POVThey ran at me with full pace, but just as they were about to tear me with their sharp, dangerous claws, I rolled away just in time. They passed in a swift motion, and I felt the breeze as they went by.I turned to where they had run to and saw them turning, charging at me with full speed.My eyes widened. Why were they both against me? Would they fight each other once they succeeded in killing me, or was the goal to kill me first? Could it be because I wasn't in my wolf form, so they wanted to attack me first? That could be the reason.I stood up to run away from them as they charged at me, but just as I stood, before I could run, I felt a sharp, firm grip on the lower part of my leg. Then, I was forcefully pulled, sending me falling to the ground. My body slammed hard into the ground, and I cried out in pain, feeling my whole body arching. The pain in my legs made me turn swiftly, and when I looked, the wolves were biting my legs with their sharp fangs.My eyes widened
Scarlett POVI've been in my room after falling from that tree, and luckily or unluckily for me, I didn't die. I managed to survive; it's been two months and three weeks after the incident, and the injuries started healing lately, but they haven't fully healed. Anyway, I was happy that my wolf didn't really abandon me. During those weeks, I've received a hi from her, and that was a sign that she was okay.It was in the afternoon, and I couldn't wait to show it to my nurse who lives in the mansion and has been attending to me.She checks on me three times a day, and my healing has improved this afternoon after she left in the morning.I just walked out of the bathroom after having my bath. The maid would soon be coming to attend to me, so I had to have my second bath as she said I should be bathing three times in a day after the treatment since water helps with fast healing.I only had my panties on, and I sat on the bed, doing nothing. For the past months, I haven't smiled; all I could
Scarlett POV"What are you talking about? Let me go," I said and pushed his hands away from my body, trying to stand up, but he still pulled me back.He remained silent, staring at me, but my gaze shifted to his Adam's apple when I saw him swallow. I could see it closely now, and I was madly in love with it. I kept staring at it, but I heard him ask, "Do you like it?"I looked back at him, and I didn't say anything at first, but I then asked, "Can I touch it?""That's if you wouldn't kill me," he replied, and I finally smiled, but it was an evil smirk I flashed at him."It's good that you know that," I told him before slowly raising my hand up to his neck.I touched it with my fingers, and blushed before caressing it, and the corners of my ears turned red."Oh my god," I grumbled under my breath, but my breath almost got taken away when he did the gulping thing again."Could you do it again?" I asked, and he did it.I smiled, feeling happy, before asking, "Could you do it one more time
Ryan's POVI was reclining on the bed rest board, engrossed in texting on my phone, while the exhausted lady, wrapped up in a duvet, slept horizontally on the bed, using my legs as her pillow.She had coerced me into mating with her again; it seemed she enjoyed it, yet her tears betrayed her true feelings. The sound of her cries revealed genuine pain, indicating she didn't actually like it. But why did she resort to calling me a bastard when I hadn't done anything wrong?Feeling her stir, I turned to her, finding her staring at me. "Young lady, do you enjoy it when I forcefully mate with you?" I inquired. She frowned, sat up, shifted away, and avoided eye contact without answering.I leaned forward to check on her, but she was just staring in a particular direction, looking blank. It's good to know she wasn't embarrassed waking up beside me. I've spent hours here, and it's already evening. The maid in charge of treating her came when she was asleep, and I let her in. Seeing bruises on
Ryan's POVI returned early today since I was able to complete the work yesterday. It wasn't a serious task; it was just a minor one that needed some reading and signing.After the car parked in the courtyard, I alighted and walked into the mansion, greeted by the gammas who were all seated outside.I was dressed in a loosely fitting blue tank top and white pants. My pipe lingered in my fingers as I walked into the elevator, heading to Scarlett's room.She's the reason I came, so I'm going straight to her room.When I reached the door, I turned the doorknob, but it was locked. I frowned; this lady has definitely started locking her door, and I don't like it.She spoke of changing the code; could she have changed it already, given how angry she was at me the other time?I decided to try the code she had told me before, and I sighed in relief when it worked.I pushed it open before walking into the room and closed the door behind me.I approached the couch and sat, quietly watching her a
Ryan POVEverything happening today felt strange to me, but I had to learn to get used to it.I pulled out my phone from my pocket when the vibrations of messages popping in became too much, and I quietly scrolled through it.But a message I saw made me frown. It was about the underground hotel; the issue was still up again, and I sighed.I switched off my phone before I placed it on the vanity table in front of me.I placed my hand on her waist, pulling her closer before I leaned my head on the couch and closed my eyes, feeling as she stirred in her sleep.The door opened, and someone walked in, but I didn't care to open my eyes, knowing that it was Jayden.The couch deepened beside me, and I heard him say, "Responsibility no.1."He grumbled, and I finally opened my eyes and turned to him."How stressful would this be?""You wouldn't want to know, Ryan, but you always have me by your side. I'll start practicing on how to be an uncle anyway," he said, smiling at me, and I sighed."You'
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
