Scumbag Contract Husband, My Regretful Mate is Back Chapter 124
Serena sat in Ryland's room in dark purple lingerie. It had been so long since he had touched her and she found herself cringing at the thought. She sat on his bed passing a hand through her hair. Even though she hated to admit it, she was very nervous and anyone could see it with how sweaty she was. Letting out a groan, Serena went through her bag, pulling out her napkin. She dabbed her face and neck with it until she felt dry enough.Shoving the used napkin in the bag she took her phone staring at the text she had sent him. "Still no reply," she muttered, becoming impatient. She looked around his room trying to snoop for anything that could help Rodrigo, but found nothing; most of his drawers were either empty or locked. She let out a frustrated sigh, falling back on the bed. "Should I call?" She asked herself as she picked up her phone, but she thought against it and dropped it. A yawn left her lips and soon she fell asleep. The sound of the door being pushed open woke Serena u

"Arghhh" The air was heavy with acrid smoke and blood. Fire licked the sky, casting an unearthly glow upon the ruined clearing. Hazel stood rigid at the edge of what used to be her home, her eyes wide in disbelief.She clutched at the edge of a tree, her nails digging into the bark trying her hardest not to scream, as shallow gasps escaped from her mouth. Among the carnage lay her parents lifeless bodies. Her father, the Alpha of Hibiscus Pack, had crumpled at the steps of the pack house, his powerful body drained of life, as his chest was slicken with crimson. The slight form of his wife, her mother was crumpled right beside him, sprawled so close to him in a way that even in death she had seemed to reach her husband's touch. As she stood behind the shadows watching as her pack burned, she saw her mother's head slightly move in her direction and her lips quivered as tears rolled down her eyes. "Mo..." Her words were caught off as she quickly understood what her mother was trying to

The man quickly pounced on her and offered a fatal punch to her stomach, making her gasp for air as she fell on the cold hard ground."Arghhh!" she screamed in pain as he quickly dragged her hair "I'm going to have fun watching you die, little Alpha," the man whispered into her ear.She felt as though her heart was about to come out through her mouth. They had caught her, and the only thing she could do was to fight back or die.The man's grip on her hair tightened as he forcefully jerked her up, and at that moment his face came into view. She scratched his face hard with her nails, making his grip on her hair loosen, then she sunk her teeth in his arm and he pulled back in pain."You little bi...." The moment he let go of her hair, she took advantage and ran without looking back. She ran like the wind deeper into the forest, as fast as her legs could carry.After hours of endless running and panting she sat under an undergrowth gasping for breath, she had managed to get away. "Wha

The journey with the men was long and tiring, mostly because she couldn't see a thing due to her blindfold.She suddenly felt the shift from the damp forest floor to a stoned ground, the air became cooler and carried a faint metallic tang. A door creaked open, and she was shoved inside."Stay here," one of the men said.She heard the door shut behind her, the sound echoing in silence. The blindfold remained secured, her legs buckled as she weakly dropped to her knees, her breathing shallow and forced. But she dared not to cry.She couldn't afford to cry.***Alpha Ryland Scooper sat in his office, casually sipping a glass of whiskey as the logs from the large fireplace crackled softly, he leaned back in his leather chair and his emerald green eyes scanned the papers in front of him.He was every inch the Alpha he felt he was: tall, commanding, impossibly and breathtakingly handsome.His wild red hair fell in disarray over his forehead, giving him that untamed, wild and dangerously ha

The air around the lower quarters was so cold that it made Hazel shiver.That man called her a stray. What hurt most was the helplessness she felt, she had struggled so hard to survive these past few days, yet here she was locked up and being called a rogue.Her hands curled into tight fists as she calmly pressed her forehead to her knees 'What now? What should I do? How do I escape?'***In the great halls of the mansion, Ryland moved with the assurance of a man who owned the world. Well, in a way he did.He had money and power, what else was missing?At his side, his beautiful fiancée Serena walked with him, her hand resting perfectly on his arm."You seem a little bit distracted, my love," Serena softly spoke loud enough for him to hear.Ryland looked at her sharp features with an expression that gave out nothing as he picked up a glass of wine. "Hmm, I was just thinking.""About the girl?" she asked, her voice laced with an undeniable trace of jealousy. "I saw... I saw how you look

The deathly silence of the lower quarters was choking, though well-acquainted with the fact. Cold stone walls pressed upon her, poor light reflected from one solitary bulb overhead, water somewhere far away dripping constant burble; it seemed the world shrank herself and her thoughts alone.She drew her knees up to her chest, her hazel eyes staring into the dimness. With the rough handling she'd gotten, her body did ache, but way inside, that was where it hurt.It sounded like the words of the Alpha still echoed in her head."Weak. Pitiful."She gritted her teeth, the memory of his smirk making her chest tighten. He had dismissed her like she was nothing, just another rogue who didn’t deserve to live. But she wasn’t nothing. She had survived.Her nails pierced into her palms as a wave of anger flowed through her. "He does not know the things I've been through. What I have lost."Again, the flutter of her parents' faces danced across her mind, and the sting in her eyes was old news. She

He traced the scent to this room, the room where the rogue was kept, he was shocked at first, but something uncontrollable pushed him to go in. The creaking door groaned open and shattered the smothering quiet of the lower quarters into a million pieces. Stirring from her fitful slumber, her body stretched taut with exhaustion, her brain clouded with fear. The footsteps in the space echoed deliberately and slowly; a predator closing in on his target.Her heart quickened with his looming presence. She huddled in a ball, clasping her knees tight to her chest, her chains clanking at the grim reminder of her very vulnerability. She didn't need to look up and was surrounded by his scent: cedar and dark spice that spoke volumes through the air as her wolf stirred in both alarm and unwilling fascination.Ryland stood there, his emerald eyes glowing in the dim light as they locked on her. His face was impassive, unreadable, yet behind his stoic façade, there was a flicker of something almost

Mate!Her wolf finally growled.Ryland's body was still tense as the realization settled over him too. His emerald eyes flashed wide for a moment, the usually unshakeable Alpha looking truly stunned. But the shock quickly twisted into something darker, his face hardened as a sinister smile appeared on his face as his wolf wildly howled inside of him, calling out for her."No," he growled, his hands tightening hard on her hips, "No, this isn't possible."Her trembling lips parted, her voice a barely heard whisper. "What..... what do you mean?"Anger and denial blazed in his eyes as he looked at her, "You," he spat, "Are not my mate. Never."Tears formed at the corners of her eyes threatening to fall. "But.... I can now feel it," she said, her voice cracking. "You're my....”Her words were a soft plea, a desperate hope. For the first time since her capture, she thought there might be something bigger at play. The Moon Goddess had paired them. "Urgh, the heavens forbid!" Ryland cursed u

Ryland stared at the elders in front of him. They had decided to meet up after Adam's death and this was one of the few times he had been free since then. Unfortunately, Adam's death still had no murderer tied to it. Even though he did play a vital role in the pack, a part of Ryland was happy he was dead. The plus side being that he didn't even have to do it. Ryland fought a yawn, staring straight ahead. He checked his wrist watch, mentally groaning when he found out that they had barely made it through half the time. The buzzing of his phone rang through the hall, and this made the elders halt in their discussion as they turned to stare at him. Some gave him bitter glares, but swallowed their words, not brave enough to say a word. Ryland apologized to them before picking his phone from the table. He had no intention of receiving the call, but seeing the contact name, he was shocked. Aaron?With that he got up, "You can go on without me," he said to the elder beside him, walking

"What are you doing?" Rodrigo yelled, taking hold of Hazel's arm. She glared at him, yanking it out of his grip. "I need to talk to you, and I'm tired of standing," she replied back, her chest heaving. Rodrigo studied her for a while. It was clear this had nothing to do with wanting to talk to him. She took a deep breath, and glanced at his door and his heart skipped a beat as he waited for her to try to push it open. But to his surprise, Hazel turned back to face him. "What's in there that you don't want me to see?" She asked, staring at him with squinted eyes.Rodrigo's eyes glared wide as he searched his brain for what to say. For some reason, lying to her felt difficult. "You know what? I don't even care," she snapped, turning away. Rodrigo stared at Hazel's retreating figure in confusion. Something about her seemed uneasy. Her eyes looked different from before and Rodrigo felt a chill run down his spine. "It's probably the baby," Leo muttered, and Rodrigo nodded in agreemen

"You what?" Serena yelled, and Rodrigo squeezed his eyes shut, and remained calm. "You want me to kill someone!!” she repeated in a frustrated tone. Rodrigo rolled his eyes at her childishness. "Yes, Serena. I want you to kill someone. You killed your uncle. This should be easier," he said, running a hand through his hair. The low growl on the other side of the phone told him that his words had gotten to her, but he had no sympathy to share. "Yea. He was my uncle, but he wasn't all that important. Ryland is an Alpha, and one of the strongest and richest at that. I'm going to get caught," she whispered. "Why the hell are you lecturing me? Do what I want you to do," Rodrigo yelled back. Images of him lying dead on the dirt road filled his mind, and it only made him more anxious. "Look, this is all you have to do. If you kill him no one stands in our way and you'll become my Luna," Rodrigo tried to convince her. "He really isn't in your way. He just wants his slut back," Serena mu

Rodrigo peeled his eyes open sitting up. He took a look at his surroundings, squinting his eyes. "Where am I?" He muttered to himself, trying to ignore the growing migraine. Slowly he stood on his feet and he could barely see.How did I get to this place? He took off his suit jacket and threw it. Rodrigo tried to find his way back to the pack, taking the normal route, but after walking for a few minutes it dawned on him that he was going in circles. The fog made it hard for him to see, and his patience began wearing thin. He stuffed his hands into his pocket in search of his phone, but found nothing. "Shu! Am I lost, or what?" He muttered, running his hand down his face as if clearing his views well.A low growl resounded in the air and Rodrigo paused, scanning around him. A sense of deja vu hit him, but he had no idea why. "Who's there?" He asked, his voice loud and firm, but no response came. "I can hear you; whoever you are, you had better come out before it's too late," he or

Hazel turned to see Aaron standing a few paces in front of her. She could barely make out his face in the dim light, but his eyes shone brightly. "What are you looking for?" Aaron asked Hazel, stepping closer. "You were banned from stepping out." “I am quite aware of my situation. Thank you,"Hazel retorted, anger evident in her tone because of his words. She needed him to talk to Ryland not to tell her what she already knew. "Yea, you're right. I'm sorry,” Aaron apologized, his head slightly bowed at the same time. They stared at each other for a while before Hazel looked away trying to remember why she was there. "Yes-" Hazel tried to say something, but was cut off. "I've got something for you," Aaron said, staring at Hazel. "It seems you were about to say something," he pointed out, but Hazel shook her head wanting to hear what he had to say. "Are you sure?" He asked and she nodded "Alright. Ehm, Alpha Ryland asked me to give you something," he said and her eyes lit up. "O

Hazel sat on her bed, a book in hand. Her fingers dug into the pages, her mind far away. She thought of Ryland, it had been more than a week since Rodrigo found about the burner phone and she had not heard a word from him. She tried everything to see Aaron, but it turned out to be harder than she thought. A loud sigh left her lips. Just then Maria poked her head through the door. "Don't you know how to knock?" Hazel hissed, feigning annoyance. "Well, if you want privacy, lock the door. Luna!" Maria shot back, calling her Luna like it was the biggest insult. "Why are you here?" She asked, placing the book by her side. "If you look outside you'd see that it's past sunset. That means it is dinner time," Maria said, slamming the door before Hazel could reply. A bitter chuckle left Hazel's lips, but she got up and walked out of her room.Hazel dreaded the idea of having to spend time with Rodrigo. In the past few days, they had eaten together, and even though he barely said a word bec

Rodrigo stared at Hazel, his gaze strong. His lips stretched into a cold grin as he got up to walk away. He could feel her eyes on him, but he moved on without turning back. He walked towards his office ignoring the terrified glances his workers gave him. Pushing his door open he sat, and grabbing a bottle of whiskey on his desk, he settled himself, chugging it down at once. Seeing that one cup could not quench the anger boiling inside, he filled another cup and was about to drink from it when his phone buzzed. With annoyance, Rodrigo placed the cup on the table and fished his phone out. Serena's name popped up and he rolled his eyes, memories of their last call sinking in. He casually let the phone sit on the table while he sipped his drink, but Serena did not back down as her calls kept coming. Frustrated, Rodrigo picked the phone, holding it against his ear. "What is it?" He yelled, clutching the phone so tight that it felt like it was going to break. "Seriously you need to w

Ryland cursed, glancing up as he took in Serena. "You should really learn to lock your door," Keal growled, and Ryland only grunted in agreement. "You know eavesdropping is a bad habit?” Caleb scoffed, taking his seat. Ryland didn't have to look, but he could tell Serena was rolling her eyes. What do you need?" He asked, focusing his gaze on her. She wore a cape-like top and a matching dress underneath. "What do I need? You, silly,” she said, gliming and Caleb gave out a loud cough."Moron,” she cursed but Ryland ignored her banter. “You're wasting my time, what is it you seek?" He repeated, eyes on his wrist watch. "You're no fun," Serena muttered, stepping closer. She placed her hands on the table looking up at him, but slowly changed to a smiling expression."I came to see you,” she pouted, but Ryland just stared at her with a blank expression on his face. "I missed you and it's been so long since we last spent time together," she whispered, tugging his tie. Caleb let out a
