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
Scarlett's POV I snuggled into my cushion as I slept and breathed softly. I could feel the warm fingers of someone stroking my face lightly, and it made me purr and snuggled into the inviting touch of the person, but I wasn't completely awake.The warmth I felt suddenly disappeared, leaving me with the feeling of emptiness.I fluttered my eyes open dizzily, but was met with the sight of Ryan seated on my bed, our gazes met, and it was difficult to turn away.I saw him retracting his hand, and he had a calm expression on his face as he stared at me with those hypnotizing hazel eyes of his. We kept staring at each other without saying a word, and when I couldn't leave my eyes open anymore, I fluttered them close without opening them again.I wasn't totally conscious, so I thought it was just a dream, and I remained snuggled into my cushion.I began fading away from the land of dreams, and I became fully awake."It's all a dream," I grumbled under my breath as I sniffed. I still felt
