Scarlett's POVTwo weeks had passed since I moved into the mansion with Ryan. I hadn't seen him since he cruelly punished me, but his whereabouts didn't concern me. Being an Alpha, he must have been very busy.The maids informed me that the needles I walked on were silver needles, and I still hadn't fully healed. I was now living with the ruthless Alpha everyone talked about, so I wasn't too shocked when I heard it.I'd heard a lot about him in my workplace, but I still didn't know who he was. In fact, my boss had an unknown relationship with him.I wondered if my boss was the one who introduced me to Alpha Ryan, because he was strict and always threatened me whenever he received any report that Scarlett was late for work again. How could he even introduce someone like me to the almighty Alpha Ryan?My healing process was like that of humans because the silver needles came into contact with my blood. I fell sick, and I was still unwell, making it difficult for me to move properly.D
Scarlett's POVHe peeked at me with a strange expression on his face, making me remove my hands from his waist immediately, but I didn't let him go. I hugged him tightly so he wouldn't walk away, and could feel my breast pressing into his back."Wait, Scarlett," he said, pulling my hands away from him. He turned towards me, crossing his arms over his chest, and began questioning me."Scarlett?""Yes, Alpha Ryan?" I answered, my hands beside me."Did I hit your head so hard that you've developed mental issues?""What?" "Why did you come out of your room like this?""I came to stop you from killing me. Why did you ask?" I innocently replied, and he scoffed."I thought you were ashamed of allowing me to see your nakedness?" I muttered under his breath, his eyes fixed on my hand that held his chest, and I immediately let go of it."I was, but I've made up my mind that I wouldn't be ashamed anymore. I'm a matured lady, and can handle the role perfectly fine, because my life is my first
Scarlett's POVThe reason I kissed him was because it seemed to be the only way to silence his threat of punishment. I was tired of hearing it, and it seemed like the only option I had. Besides, he had said I was supposed to seduce him, so I was just doing my job.He pulled away from the kiss, pulled my hands roughly from his neck, before he licked his lips, his eyes squinting at me."Why did you kiss me?""I was trying to seduce you.""Was that really why you kissed me, Miss?" He asked, and I nodded.Suddenly, he hit my head hard, making me clutch my head, my eyes widening as I looked up at his beautiful hazel eyes."You don't kiss me without my permission," he said and spanked my cheek, a peculiar smile on his face, while my hands flew to my face, covering my cheek. "Then how am I supposed to seduce you?" I half-yelled, feeling my anger rise.If I reach my limits, I might just snap."You shouldn't be asking me that. Figure it out for yourself," he said simply, pushing me to
Scarlett's POVIt then dawned on me, making me realize too late what I had just called him."B-a-s-t-a-r-d," he spelled out the word I used to insult him. Insulting the IRP Alpha in his presence was like digging one's grave, and mine has already been dug, remaining to be pushed into it and buried.Fear clouded my face as I regretted saying what I did.I knew he was staring at me through the mirror, but I refused to look up."Bastard," he said again, and I could feel his mood wavering.This time, I had to look up at him, and saw a flicker of sadness in his eyes, but it vanished just as it came.Did I bring back painful memories for him?As I continued looking at him, hoping not to find that expression which hadn't lasted up to three seconds, there was no expression on his face, no emotion in his eyes, and I sighed with relief."The brush," he said once more.Slowly and gently, I placed the brush into his hand.He took it from me and started brushing my hair, while I held my breath, ho
Scarlett's POVI turned to Ryan, hoping he would stop them, but he didn't even say a word. Besides, he was the one who started all this by giving me his pipe to smoke. I turned to the others, but they all seemed excited about it."Okay, everyone," the Beta began announcing, and everyone became quiet as they paid attention to him."Ugh… I mean, we are about teaching our future Luna how to smoke a pipe today, so everyone throw away your cigarette and pick up a pipe and light it," Beta Jayden announced, while I stared with wide eyes as they did according to what he had said."Okay, everyone. Put the pipe slightly into your lips, and suck in a little of the smoke, just a little, it can choke pretty bad if it isn't done accordingly, so be careful," he said with his gaze fixed on me, while the others did as they were told.After receiving a go-ahead nod from Ryan, I averted my eyes to the pipe between my fingers, and with squinted eyes, I brought it to my lips. I could feel everyone's gaze
Ryan's POVAfter Asher finished pouring out a gallon of fuel on the betrayer who has been busy giving out information about my pack to another rival pack, Scarlett, the lady I had bought, who almost died from a smoke tutorial demanded that I keep her down. So, I did, and we both shifted backward after Asher emptied the gallon of fuel on him.I then retreated with Scarlett, and unbeknownst to her, I had put a gun into her hand and had already walked away while she was busy watching the man.I retracted my phone from my pocket, and began scrolling through it. My agents just sent me the outcome of the under water hotel we've been constructing since last year, and that's why I've been very busy.It costs more than Billions to construct an underground hotel, and I've really invested a lot in it. But I had a problem which has left me frustrated for the past months.I needed a specific source of power supply for the underwater hotel, but the delay I'm having is that's it's a vintage (made
Ryan's POVI stared at Scarlett's unconscious body with a blank expression on my face. Then, I turned to my men, who were all staring at me. By"Clean up this mess!" I ordered. They snapped out of their daze and began removing the dead bodies from the floor.With my hands tucked into my pockets, I strode toward Scarlett's motionless form. Squatting down, I observed the blood that had soaked the back of her dress."You should never disobey me, Scarlett. If you do, I can only promise you an early death," I muttered, lifting her into my arms. I carried her out of the old building, knowing she still had bullets in her. She needed immediate medical attention.~I had spent too many hours in the hospital, and the sun had already settled.I hadn't anticipated it would take this long before I could leave the hospital. I couldn't leave without Scarlett, so I waited patiently, wondering why she was taking so long to wake up and leave the room.I signaled a passing nurse to come closer, and s
Ryan's POVI walked out of the room, feeling like I had already spent a lot of time with the girl named Ava because the place was already dark.The ringing of my phone in the pocket of my pants made me stop and retrieve it.Staring at the caller ID, I answered the call immediately as I saw that it was the doctor who was in charge of Scarlett's medical care. Finally, after keeping me waiting for so long, he was finally calling me."Why did it take you so long to call me?""I'm sorry, Alpha, but we were trying to revive the patient. You know that silver bullets aren't good for us as werewolves, so I'm sorry to say we almost lost her because you didn't bring her on time. But the good news is that somehow, you brought her on time."I released my breath I didn't know I had been holding while the doctor spoke."It was successful, wasn't it?" I inquired further, tapping my feet on the tiles."Well, Alpha, I think we have the moon goddess to thank for that. But how did she get shot with two
