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 POVI picked out a plate and began filling it with different foods from each of the food lined up, selecting the ones that were healthy. I made sure to add her nuggets, which were the only junk.Once I finished, I walked back to her, carefully placing the plate on the kitchen counter."Here it is, start eating," I said, looking her in the eyes.She looked down at the food and started whimpering."Don't you like it?" I asked, and she shook her head."But–" I began saying, but trailed off."What is it?" I asked, noticing how she was behaving. She was feeling discomfort."I'm tired," she said, whimpering and moving her body as if she was trying to adjust to the discomfort she felt."Ryan, it's making me feel strange. I don't know what's happening to me," she cried in panic, and I sighed.I hugged her, raised her singlet, and placed my hand over her stomach, which was still flat as usual. I tried using a connection I felt to soothe the discomfort she felt, as it was obviously leading
Scarlett POVI was seated on a chair in the gym, provided for me after I walked in.I felt like coming to the gym when I woke up, not to work out, but to find Ryan since I didn't know his room, and it was definitely not on the third floor.Unable to locate him, I concluded he might have gone out, given his mention of urgent work. The gamma's workouts were interesting, so I decided to stay. I was rendered speechless by their muscular bodies as they took off their shirts to start their workout."I just came in time," I grumbled under my breath, squealing happily.My mouth was left open as I watched them exercise in the gym. They didn't seem bothered by my presence, and I felt comfortable licking my lollipop and enjoying the view."Hey, Jayden," I called happily, waving at Jayden who was working out. He turned and threw a kiss in the air, which I caught, smiling.I also noticed JR, shirtless and not working out but on his phone. He seemed to be looking at me.Ignoring that, I kept watchin
Scarlett POV"Scarlett," in the bathroom, Ryan's voice disrupted my sleep. Grumbling, I opened my eyes, feeling disoriented."Yes?" I mumbled, sitting up."Come here," he said again, and I looked around, but I couldn't spot him in the room."Where are you?" I asked, whining, lying back down."In the bathroom.""Why do I need to meet you there, Ryan? You're disturbing my sleep," I complained, feeling like my rest had been stolen.He didn't respond, and realizing I should go to him, I reluctantly got out of bed and approached the bathroom door."I'm here," I announced, standing in front of the door, only to be unexpectedly pulled inside."Ryan!" I cried out as I collided with him. My hand clutched my stomach, wincing in pain."Did I hurt you?" he asked, his hands gently caressing my stomach."Let me go," I said, pushing his hands away. Why did he pull me like that?As I turned to leave, he pulled me back, more gently this time. Holding me close, his hands rested on my waist."I'm sorry,"
Scarlett POVWhen he finished, he set aside the scrub and carried me to the shower."We'll stand and have a shower together. Standing isn't difficult, right? Or should I carry you?" He asked as he positioned me under the shower.I shook my head, and he switched on the shower, immediately drenching us both with water.The water was warm and soothing. I had missed bathing under a shower since I had been using a bathtub here.My hair was drenched, and water ran down from my hair to my face and down my body.Water kept spewing from the shower onto us, and he pulled me close to him, resting my head on his chest as we bathed together.His left hand was wrapped around my waist, and we stood like that for a while. Then he held my hand, which was hugging him."Four months before you start having a bump in your stomach," he whispered into my ear, bringing my hand to the front, away from his back.He guided my hand downwards until I touched it, his hard dick.I froze, biting my bottom lip as he u
Scarlett's POVI woke up alone in bed and rubbed my eyes sleepily, feeling a bit disoriented.Ryan was no longer in bed. When I turned around, I saw him already dressed, knotting his gold-colored necktie. He wore tight-fitting white pants, a white long-sleeve shirt, and a suit with black laces at the back and front.His neatly brushed hair was slicked back. After finishing with his tie, he walked over to the counter and picked up his gold watch, putting it on his wrist.I caught a glimpse of a slightly ajar door and was surprised to see another room within his room. It was like a well-organized boutique, with clothes and shoes neatly lined up on shelves and in various closets. No wonder his outfit looked amazing. If only I had woken up earlier to see him getting ready. Oh well, at least I didn't wake up and find him gone."Would you be leaving soon?" I asked, turning my attention back to him. He looked up from what he was doing and noticed me."You're awake," he simply said before retu
Scarlett's POVWhen we broke away from the hug, I poured out my feelings to him. "I came with Ryan, but he left without me. The security gave me a hard time, and I feel really depressed right now," I confessed truthfully.Jayden glanced at me as I had a sad pout on my lips. Then, he turned to the security personnel.Suddenly, I heard the sound of chairs shifting. When I turned, I saw only the heads of the security guards behind the counter because they were all on their knees.Jayden faced me again and inquired, "What did they do?""He said I'm here for charity help since I don't have an ID, and he sent me out before you came in," I explained. Jayden's face contorted in a frown."Who sent you out?" he asked, and I turned to the security personnel. The insolent man had a pleading look on his face, but he avoided eye contact with me.I walked back to him and pointed, while Jayden nodded in understanding."Come out," Jayden ordered, and the security guard immediately stood up and walked
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
