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
Scarlett's POVThe memory of how Ryan had pushed me in the hospital, and how my head had hit the railings of my bed, made me wince as the pain resurfaced. He was doing this intentionally. He was still hurting me, but I was determined not to cry. I was determined to stay strong and watch how my life with the IRP Alpha Ryan would end. He has said of throwing me out of the mansion, so I hoped that it was the reason for which he was here. I would be so excited to leave before he discovers that I wasn't truly fit for such a job. But throwing me away with nothing? How would I return back to my pack? He couldn't mean what he said, because that was like encouraging gang's of rogues. But I really don't know much concerning this IRP Alpha. Who knows if he permits them, and later kills them?It could be due to frustration he said such a thing, because I didn't expect him to come and throw me out himself. When I heard him communicating with his Beta concerning me, he had spoken about a docum
Scarlett's POV His eyes squinted as he watched me while I cried, but he didn't utter a single word.I wasn't crying because I wanted to see an expression on his face; it was because of how he had interrupted me from going unconscious. He had no idea how I felt right now. That sound was too sharp for someone like me who was about to faint. I had gr...My thoughts were interrupted when I felt his lips on mine, and he kissed me. It wasn't a rough kiss, but a passionate one that made me unable to cry anymore.Butterflies erupted in my stomach, and the sensation I felt was indescribable. Sniffing, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the kiss from the man I both hated and had feelings for.He bit his lower lip when he slowly disengaged from the kiss, and my eyes fluttered open. His lips were alluringly reddish and wet from the kiss we had just shared, and the way his lips felt on mine was indescribable."You could have just told me you wanted a kiss instead of crying like that. I couldn't even
Scarlett's POVWhen I calmed down, he continued, "I thought it was a dream at first, but when I woke up, I realized it wasn't. Scarlett, that wasn't the reason I brought you here, and I won't take it lightly if you ever tell Jayden that you love him again," he said coldly, and I felt as though I was being judged. Goosebumps appeared on my skin, my face pale, already giving up on my life. I have no idea of what had gotten into me that I had to say something like that to the Beta of IRP Alpha Ryan? Jayden also looked taken aback when I said that to him, but he shrugged it off with an awkward laugh before telling me to sleep and rest. The worst part of it was that Ryan also heard it."It's not really what you're thinking, it was just a–" I tried explaining to save myself from his wrath, my head hanging low, but his sudden interruption made me swallow hard."I don't care, Scarlett. As I said earlier, I don't want to see you with any other man, no matter whoever he is. I'm the only one
Scarlett's POVI averted my eyes from him and stared silently at the floor, chewing on my lower lip."Your time starts now. I'll give you only two minutes to strip," he ordered, his aura frightening me, making me wonder if I truly wanted to clash with him. That would be like digging one's grave and burying oneself in it.I diverted my gaze to him and saw that he wasn't looking at me.His eyes were focused on his phone as he scrolled through it, his lips paused. Then, his eyes fluttered from the screen, and diverted back to the screen, but not up to a minute his sharp gaze was directed at me, and he raised an eyebrow at me."Don't you know how to strip, young Miss? Do you need some help?"I shook my head, clenching my hands beside me as I held back my tears. How could I, who has never gotten into a relationship before suddenly begin to strip in front of someone who detested females? He would definitely detest my body, and that would be a humiliation."I'm waiting. I don't have much
Scarlett's POVMy eyes widened as I watched his canines elongate, fear gripping me as my tit remained in his mouth, wet, and my face flushed at the intimacy between us. The scene was too intimate.He used his canines to graze my breast, and shivers ran down my spine, feeling his sharp fangs on my bare skin."You wouldn't bite me with those, would you?" I quavered, but he maintained his smirk, intensifying my fears. He exuded cruelty, and the idea of him sinking his sharp teeth into me didn't seem far-fetched."Do you want me to?" He asked with a calm demeanor, brushing my hair from my face, and I shook my head."Please... don't. I'll do whatever you want," I began pleading, but he interrupted me."Shhhh," he hushed me, placing his finger on my lips. He finally released my breast from his mouth, and the warmth dissipated. His lips were red and wet, and he bit his bottom lip, sandwiching it between his elongated fangs."I love your body, young Miss, which is totally beyond your expect
Ryan POVIt had been almost a month since I traveled out of the state for an urgent meeting. Due to various matters that needed my attention, I ended up spending a whole month trying to resolve issues in my companies.So many years ago, the Limelight constellation was on the brink of bankruptcy after its investment went sour. Then a mysterious man took over the company and was met with the scorn from many industry leaders who predicted that he would undoubtedly lose everything by taking over. This became a hot topic at the time.To everyone's surprise, just a year later, the mystery man at the helm of the company made a remarkable comeback. He not only managed to overcome the previous business losses, but also earned numerous accolades, establishing himself as a top financial genius. At that time, no one knew about the mysterious man, but I am him. I secretly plotted out everything according to how my dad had explained to me before he passed out. It was his wish I was only fulfill
Ryan's POVFinally, we arrived at the entrance to the mansion's compound which was marked by an impressive gate made of intricately wrought iron.As it swung open on its own, my driver drove the limousine into the magnificent driveway lined with vibrant flowers, and manicured hedges stretched out before us. The path was adorned with elegant lamp posts which illuminated the way, creating a magical ambiance during the evening hours.He drove through the driveway which leads to a circular courtyard, a centerpiece of breathtaking beauty. In the center, a sparkling fountain stands tall, its cascading waters adding a soothing melody to the peaceful surroundings. The fountain was adorned with intricate sculptures of wolves, and surrounded by blooming flower beds, boasting a vibrant palette of colors.The mansion itself is a sight to behold. With its stately facade, adorned with grand columns and ornate carvings, it commands attention and admiration.Impeccably maintained gardens surrounde
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
