RUBY.My eyes snapped open to the sound of knocking on the door. I stretched my arms and let out a groan as every part of me ached, as though my bones had been crushed.I tried to sit up on the bed but fell right back on it, a tired sigh escaping from my lips.The knock came again, and I groaned. I wanted to lay back down and pretend I hadn’t heard it. It could be one of the hotel staff wanting to clean, and if they didn’t get a response, they’d probably assume I was asleep and come back later.But then again, another knock came, and I knew I could no longer ignore it. I rubbed my eyes to clear the sleep away, and a yawn escaped my lips.“Give me a minute, please,” I called back to whoever was knocking.Trying to get up from the bed, I was hit with another wave of pain. But after taking a deep breath, I tried again and managed to get up.And that was when I realized I was naked. My cheeks flushed with embarrassment as memories of the previous night surged back—Clinton and I had spent

RUBY. Clinton shook his head with a small laugh as the bike picked up speed. The wind whipped around us, and I had to tighten my grip on the seat just to stay steady. I could feel the power of the engine beneath us, but all I could focus on was the thrill of the ride and the warmth of his back just inches from my chest.I was enjoying myself when the bike hit a bump, and I was lifted slightly off the seat. My heart leapt into my throat as I tried to steady myself, but the sudden jolt made it impossible to maintain my balance. My hands shot forward, gripping Clinton's waist tightly, my fingers digging into his sides. The rush of the adrenaline courses through me, and I felt a wave of fear mixed with embarrassment. “Whao!” I gasped, my voice shaky. Clinton’s laugh rumbled through his body, vibrating against my palms. “You okay back there?” he asked, his tone light, as if he didn't just laugh at me. I slapped him playfully at his back. “Shut up now. Keep going.” “I thought you'd rem

CLINTON. I lay in bed, trying hard to fall asleep, but I couldn’t. My mind kept drifting back to the conversation I had had with Ruby after breakfast.I wanted to tell her that I was falling for her, but she didn’t want to listen. I couldn’t pinpoint exactly when I realized I was falling for her. Was it the first day I saw her, or when Gamma Eric mentioned that Beta Asher had told him I was in love? I wasn’t sure, but does it really matter? What matters is that I love her, and I’ve realized it now.I had believed all this time that she was beginning to like me more, but was I wrong? Was I too blind to read between the lines?The urge to slam my head against the headboard was overwhelming, but one look at her peacefully sleeping beside me made me hesitate. The last thing I wanted was to disturb her rest.She looked so peaceful while she slept, as if she had no worries at all. I wondered what might have happened if she had listened to our conversation. Would she have accepted my feelin

RUBY.The journey back to Eryndor took nine hours.Once we arrived, we set out to find the valet Clinton had entrusted with his car. Fortunately, I spotted him on a call and quickly tapped Clinton's shoulder to get his attention.“Look over there,” I pointed at the man in a downright low cut. “That's the man.”Clinton grunted in response and nodded before starting to drag our luggage toward the man, leaving me to follow behind.By the time we approached the man, he was already done with his call and was slipping his phone inside his back trouser pocket.“Hello, remember us?” Clinton pointed between him and me without looking at me. “We're here for our car.”The valet nodded, and I glanced around in search of the car. I spotted the red Camry beside a white Rolls-Royce.“Oh, alright, please wait here, let me get it,” I heard the valet say before he walked away.Four minutes later, he reappeared with the key in his right hand. He handed it to Clinton, who accepted it with a nod, slipping

RUBY.Moments later, I sprawled across my bed, with Kiara lying at the foot, her hands propped beneath her chin.Clinton had left without a word after he dropped off my luggage. I couldn't blame him because, after all, I wouldn't have if I were in his position.Because I knew how to hold a grudge.That time I woke up after having a nightmare, I had left our hotel room in search of him because I didn't want to remain there alone. When I closed my eyes, all I saw were those creepy creatures and the image of my mom in that cage. If not for the fact that I attended my mom's funeral, I would have believed it was a vision or something of that sort because of how real it felt.I met Clinton on a call and waited until he was done before I approached him, but then something caught my ear. Whoever he was talking to said something about a funeral, and it was only then that the word Oakwood Pack registered in my head.Alpha Frederick wasn't buried yet.That tiny piece of information was enough to

RUBY. “Henceforth, I want you to address me as Natasha, please,” I informed Clinton once he drove us into the packhouse, peeking at the several cars and people loitering in the compound through the window.He stopped the car and gave me a look. “I have so many questions, but I'll wait until you're ready to answer all of them.”My heart skipped a beat, words forming lumps in my throat, but I managed to nod. He cared enough to trust me; that was all that mattered. But I couldn't help but wonder how he'd feel after my identity was exposed. Shaking the thought out of my head, I flashed him a grin.Before he could come to my side of the car to open the door for me, I was already out, taking my bag along with me. His eyes lingered on my face for a while, then he nodded, extending his arm for me.I placed my hand in his as we walked towards the front door when a guard approached us and bowed to Clinton. Anger surged through me when I recognized the guy—Maddox, one of the guards who had hit

RUBY. “I just told you not to tell anyone that we're dating, and you agreed to it with a smile.” His hold on me hardened, just like the way his chin twitched in anger. “Tell me, is everything a joke to you? Don't you feel bad that I don't want you to announce our relationship?”I barked out a laugh, my left hand moving to cover my mouth to muffle the sound, but I ended up bending low as saliva went flying. Oh, Goddess.Why was he so hilarious?I cackled more and more until I felt my sides burning. I stood erect to find him watching me with his arms folded across his chest, the anger on his face gone. “Did I say something funny?”I nodded a little too much, the urge to throw back my head and laugh again in his face so strong that my chest tightened. Lifting my right hand to my chest, I tapped on it until the ache disappeared.“Yes, you're too funny.” I smirked. “You should be given an award as the best comedian, honestly.”A low growl rumbled in his chest as he inched closer. He til

“Thank you for honoring my invitation, Your Highness.” Alpha Kael bowed again, his gaze fixed on me. “And if I may ask, who’s the lady beside you?”I felt Clinton stiffen beside me, but I kept my eyes on Alpha Kael, who was still smiling. With a fake smile plastered on my face, I cooed, “I am Natasha Jones, the King’s distant cousin.” I lied.Alpha Kael hummed, nodding slowly. “You’re welcome to my pack, Lady Natasha.” He bowed dramatically before shifting his attention to Clinton. “Please, have a seat.”He introduced everyone to us before we took our seats beside Alpha Liam, who extended his hand toward me, clearly intending to kiss it. I withdrew my hand politely. “It’s nice meeting you, Alpha Liam.”He smiled and engaged me in a conversation that barely held my interest. As we waited for dinner to be served, I noticed the occasional glance thrown my way. I contributed to the conversation just enough to avoid appearing rude, though my thoughts were elsewhere.After a few minutes, th
