Lone Howl: Echoes of Scarlet's Unforgiving Vengeance

Chapter 3

Scarlet's Pov:

As Alpha Ryan led me into our room, a rush of questions flooded my mind.

"What is the matter, Ryan? Why is Beatrice here?" I couldn't help but inquire as soon as the door closed behind us.

"Scarlet," Alpha Ryan's voice wavered, his eyes clouded with regret. His gentle demeanour faltered, his eyes betraying a tumult of emotions.

"Beatrice is here because she needs my help with pack matters," he explained.

"What help? I don't understand anything," my brows furrowed, sensing something amiss.

"Yes, pack matters," Alpha Ryan's reticence was palpable as he struggled to find the right words.

I shook my head and said, "Ryan, do not lie to me." I couldn't comprehend why Ryan had to bring his ex with him. I couldn't shake that uneasy feeling away.

"Come here," Alpha Ryan said as he took my shaky hands in his and led me toward our bed. Sitting on the bed, Alpha Ryan kneeled before me and placed a deep kiss on my knuckles.

"I know what you are feeling, Scar. I can hear it from miles away. You don't have to think irrationally because I know how far your mind can go," Alpha Ryan chuckled while gazing at me lovingly.

"Beatrice called me a day ago…,"

"Ryan…," I opened my mouth but closed it, seeing Alpha Ryan's expression. I chose to keep quiet and let him continue. I wanted to know the reason he took his ex with him.

"Beatrice killed an alpha," Alpha Ryan disclosed, and a gasp left my mouth.

"Wh-what?"

"Yes. She was on a trip with her friends when a group of wolves tried to molest them. Her friends left her alone and ran away. Beatrice tried to save herself and in self-defence, she killed the alpha. Now his father wants revenge on Beatrice. That's why she called and asked if I could give her protection."

"I couldn't say no to her. I am sure you would not want that as well.

"Scar, all of the past is behind us, including our relationship. She is my past, and you are my present and future. You complete me like a puzzle. I can't even imagine my life without you. I love you, mi Vida," Alpha Ryan said while gazing straight into my eyes.

"Then prove it," I whispered.

Alpha Ryan smiled and kissed me passionately, tearing my dress in the process.

A gasp left my lips as Alpha Ryan entered me. My face was buried in his chest as I closed my eyes and let the tears fall down my cheeks. I closed my eyes and lost myself in him as all thoughts flew out of my mind.

                        *********

"I want to tell you something," I whispered while tracing patterns on his chest. We had just made love to each other. Alpha Ryan had finally left me after giving me six orgasms.

"Hmm?"

"I'm pre…," I was about to tell him when my phone rang. Pulling myself away from his warm embrace, I grabbed the sheets to cover myself and reached for the phone. Alpha Ryan smirked at me. After being together for years, I still got shy around him.

I noticed Dr. Halt's name flashing on the screen of my phone. My heart skipped a beat thinking about the results of my reports. I took a deep breath and glanced at Alpha Ryan, who was texting someone on his phone.

"Hello Luna, can you please come to my office, now," Dr. Halt's voice blasted through the speaker as soon as I answered the call.

"Now? What happened? Is everything alright?" I questioned, unable to contain my anxiety.
