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
Scarlett's POVAfter leaving Ryan's office, I headed for the elevator. There were others in the elevator too, so I stood at a corner, patiently waiting to reach the tenth floor where I was going.When the elevator reached the tenth floor, only a few people remained inside. I stepped out with a heap of papers in my hands.The corridor here was crowded with people running about. I was walking on my own when a lady suddenly bumped into me. It was unexpected, and I almost lost my balance. The papers I held went flying out of my hand and scattered all over the floor.I turned to the lady who had bumped into me and saw her packing her littered files. Hurriedly, I began packing mine while people passing by avoided stepping on and ruining the papers. Unfortunately, some people trampled on them without any care.As we were picking up the files, the crowd in the corridor started to thin out. The lady's papers that had dropped weren't as numerous as mine, and in no time, she was done picking her
Ryan's POVAs soon as I ended the call with Scarlett, I dashed out of my office and hurried into the elevator. It would take me to the tenth floor where Scarlett was.I didn't want to hear any heart-wrenching stories, and I knew I shouldn't have allowed Scarlett to fight. Even though she was only two months pregnant, a forceful kick or blow to her stomach could lead to a miscarriage.I hadn't really considered the consequences before giving her permission to fight. I hoped I wouldn't regret it.When the elevator doors opened, I stepped into the crowded corridor on the tenth floor. It dawned on me that the commotion going on was no ordinary fight.I maneuvered my way through the occupied crowd, trying to go unnoticed.As soon as I came out in front of the crowd, I winced as Scarlett's opponent delivered a kick to her stomach.I clenched my fist beside me while Scarlett released her grip on the lady, her hands protectively clutching her stomach.My teeth were gritted as I watched her sl
Ryan's POVWhenever I remember how she kicked Scarlett's stomach, it makes me want to kill her, but I restrain myself. The security team will handle her."Is it helping?" I asked, looking up at Scarlett. Her closed eyes opened in response.She nodded as our eyes met, and she gently sat up."I'm glad I was able to beat her because if I hadn't, the pain of her slap wouldn't have left me," she said. I managed a small smile."There will be no more fighting from today onward. You're almost three months pregnant, so it's better to start taking care of yourself," I advised, standing up from my crouched position.I picked up the hoodie and placed it on her, then pulled a chair closer and sat, quietly observing her."Scarlett?" I called, and she turned to me."Come here," I motioned for her to join me, and she stood up and walked over. I patted my thighs, indicating for her to sit.After she sat, I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer, resting my face in the crook of her neck
Scarlett POVAfter I left Ryan's office, an anonymous voice announced through the speakers about a second meeting, and everyone began leaving their offices. Perhaps they had only taken a break from the first meeting they were having when I arrived.Feeling hurt, I found a seat and sat down. I despised Ryan and didn't want to see him again. He was the reason I was in pain right now.It wasn't just because he had been drinking too much of my blood, but because I could feel his thoughts. I don't know how it happened, but I think I tapped into his deepest thoughts, and that's what hurt me.I realized that the care he was showing me was solely because I was pregnant. It wasn't as though I hadn't known, but it still pained me to know that he could still hurt me if his child wouldn't be affected by it.The pain was overwhelming, but I tried to hold back my tears as I remained seated, gazing outside.Lately, my nerves had been acting strangely, urging me to cry. So, I gave in and let the tear
Scarlett POVThey obviously weren't discussing food in a company meeting with renowned individuals all over."Oh my gosh," I grumbled in embarrassment."Why did you show that to me?" I turned to Jayden, feeling embarrassed."You had two options. One was about what they've been discussing, while the other is about what you want, and you choose what you want," he said, grinning, and I gritted my teeth before hitting him on the shoulder.I turned away from him when I heard the speaker saying, "That's the last question we'll be having for today; it's time for refreshments." The speaker announced before walking away, but the laughter in the hall didn't die down, even the speaker was also laughing. Everyone was obviously happy, making me shy as I saw them glancing back at me. No one had expected that to be my question, I have just lightened their serious mood."All thanks to you, we'll be having lunch early today," Jayden whispered into my ear, and I turned to him."What do you mean?" I ask
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
