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

Scarlett's POVThe noises coming from the electrocardiographic monitor made my eyes flung open, but they felt too weak to remain open, so I closed them again.The whirling sensation in my head, made me feel as though I've been injected with chloroform, and it was having a great effect on me, making me feel too dizzy to do anything.However, I sensed that there was a presence in the room, and that I was being watched. So I opened my eyes once more, and they met Ryan's gaze.He stared at me for a brief moment before averting his eyes. He looked exhausted, as if something was troubling him.I remained still, not uttering a word, but my gaze never left him.I watched as he suddenly stood up from his seat and began pacing around. But my eyes widened when he suddenly began punching the wall, muttering things I couldn't understand. Though I wasn't fully conscious, seeing him throw punches and blood dripping from his black gloves which covered his hand, to the floor, it compelled me to take

Scarlett's POVOut of fear, I wanted to shift backward to create some space between us, but Jayden's grip suddenly tightened, and he pulled me closer.He began softly patting my back, and I almost gasped, but then I met Ryan's expressionless hazel eyes, and my heart skipped.Had he seen us being so close?It then dawned on me why Jayden had pulled me to himself. If I didn't act along, I would be in grave danger, because it would seem as if we were… we're too close. I had to do something which wouldn't make this look like a compromising situation, but what should I do? Ryan was watching us quietly.I used my hands to rub my eyes and started fake crying. I shed crocodile tears, trying my best to make them look real as I avoided Ryan's gaze."I'm in pain everywhere. Ahhhh... my head... Ouch... my back... Ahhhh, my legs... my eyes... my ears… Mr Beta... I'm... I'm... dying... you need to bury me right now... ouch... my hair, my feet have been addled, I'm… I'm not healing," I continued cr

Scarlett's POVMy eyelids flew open, and I watched as Ryan and Jayden walked into the room, the sound of their shoes tapping softly as they approached. I held my breath when my eyes met Ryan's. They had changed their outfits, which meant they had either reached the mansion or stayed at a hotel. I really don't know, but I wasn't interested in bothering myself with that because I felt like I was dying under their intense gazes.My scrutinized gaze followed them until they reached my bed, and thanks to the moon goddess I was getting familiar with the strange handsomeness these men possessed.I continued staring at them even when they stood beside my bed, but I remained silent. My focus was solely on Ryan, and from my side view, I could see Jayden turn from me to Ryan before turning back to me. A smirk appeared on Jayden's face, and he slowly departed from the room. My attention was on his retreating figure, but before I could shift my gaze to Ryan, he used his jacket to hit my head,

Ryan POVI watched as she cried, wanting me to let go of her hair, but I didn't.It amused me to see her tears, but my motive for pulling her hair had nothing to do with that. It also wasn't because she had called me a psychotic Alpha.It was because she was becoming disrespectful. She thought she could be familiar with me, but she had no clue about who I truly was. It was just a little lesson, that's all. But it seems she'll make a big deal out of it, moreover, she is now a weak wolf.She grabbed ahold of my hand, attempting to free herself from my grip. That was a disrespect I couldn't let slide. I knew I could kill her right now, and I wouldn't hesitate to do if she dares does the slightest thing I hate."Let go of my hand, Scarlett," I warned, making it clear that I wasn't joking. Still, she held onto my hand, crying and pleading for me to release her hair. Her pleas didn't affect me, but my heart ached for what I'll do in the next moment. She was pulling herself into a mess, sh
