Ruby Maverick POVThe tubes lined up and swallowed different colored liquids into their stomachs. Their lips kept opening when a man in a white coat poured something into them. Seriousness made the people in white coats and masks sharpen their vision.The chemical scent, which broke through the small gap, tried to tickle my nose. But I, who was also focused on observing, didn't have time to feel it. A gentle pat on my forearm soon woke me up.My gaze, which had been fixed on the small laboratory with only five researchers, now shifted to the front. My pupils were filled with a stern-faced woman with short black hair, and a scar extending from her jaw to the center of her neck. A black uniform clung to her slender body that was taller than the average woman."Linnea Rivers is facing you, Luna." Linnea, the chief commander of the Black Shadow organization, bowed her head with her right hand resting on her chest. The typical salute of the members of the Black Shadow organization."Is th
Ruby Maverick POV"Wow?""Of course. Luna, do you know how nervous they get when I tell them I'm from the Celestial Dawn pack? Ever since I first stepped into High School, they, the werewolves who have known my identity, have been polite when they accidentally met me. That's how much influence the Celestial Dawn pack has," Wayne explained with a bright smile. That smile was contagious to me."Is it okay for them to know your identity? I heard your school is quite far from here and the human population there is more dominant than the werewolf population," I asked after sipping the warm tea in my hand. Enjoying some free time with Wayne after a hard day's work was very enjoyable. Wayne was a cheerful person and his mere presence spread positive energy."Of course it's okay. The werewolves who are educated outside the pack's reach have taken an oath not to make a scene in the human world.""Moreover, Alpha Kings is a very great and caring person for us. When the members get interference
The door was wide open. My husbands and I, who were in the doorway, immediately looked around to see what had happened. There, Adam was clutching Wayne's arm, while Wayne was holding a small knife and an apple, and in front of them was Thalia squatting with her gaze down, her trembling hands trying to cover her face."P-please... put the knife away.""Keep that knife away from me. Please ...." Thalia pleaded with her pupils moving restlessly. She was unable to look up to stare at us. Her whole body was trembling, reacting to the feeling of trauma.I signaled Adam and Wayne to go outside with the eye code. They understood immediately. They looked down for a moment, left, and closed the door to the room tightly.I walked over to her. Crouched down and placed my hand on the back of her hand. Her body stiffened as I touched her."It's okay, the knife is gone. It won't hurt you anymore." I looked at her with pity. How much torture had this woman received that her body was instantly made to
The morning came to pick me up along with the tasks that had been lined up neatly. My schedule today is very tight. It's only nine in the morning, but I've already put my beloved car back to work by transporting me and Adam to our destination.The friction between the wheels and the ground makes dust fly. Even though the squeal of the car's brakes was very low, the sound managed to invite the officers concerned to run over. When my feet hit the road, they simultaneously bowed respectfully."I, Thaddeus Vaughn, project manager, am addressing you, Luna. I would like to guide you through the structural construction of the building. We have used structural materials by your request."I entered the paint-scented building accompanied by Mr. Vaughn and Adam. They followed me every step of the way as I explored the building. I had to make sure the building that housed my business had all the best things going for it.I stopped, as did the two men behind me. My hand stretched out behind me. Wi
Ruby Maverick POV"What did you say earlier? Alpha Kings are welcoming their secretary today?" Messy hair, sticky eyelids, and cheeks reddened from the pressure of the pillow. Still on my way to pick up consciousness, I had been told the shocking news."That's right, Luna. Ms. Archer's plane landed two hours ago. The Alpha Kings are currently waiting for her at the border."I nodded my head. With blinking eyes and erratic vision, I brought my back to the bed. I rubbed my head to find comfort in the pillow.My hand stretched out to the side. Once I found a space, I suddenly sat up again. I patted my forehead and let out a long breath. I almost surrendered my body to the comfort of the bed. I have to get up! I had to get ready and welcome Ms. Archer! As Luna and as the wife of the Alpha Kings, I should welcome her too. She has contributed greatly to this pack."Help me take a shower." I held out my hand to the most powerful of the servants. She was a servant whose strength was equivale
My forehead furrowed deeply. With a flat, expressionless face, I cast an intimidating gaze at the 5th elder, just as my husbands did. Meanwhile, everyone here was staring at the 5th elder with suspicious eyes.His actions were too much. He seemed to be saying out loud that he was on Thalia's side this time. Was he the traitor who had been hiding in the Celestial Dawn pack?Zaire suddenly brought his lips to my ear and whispered, "The 5th Elder has a daughter who once committed a huge amount of corruption. Because the daughter did not reveal the hiding place of the corrupt money that belonged to the Celestial Dawn pack, she ended up being sentenced to torture to open her mouth. Because of her high self-esteem, the 5th elder's daughter kept her mouth shut until the torture led to her death."I stared at Zaire for a moment and then turned to the 5th elder who was still standing straight. A very clear contradiction on his face was now slowly giving way to a feeling of nervousness mixed wi
The Alpha Kings stared at me intently. My eyes blinked repeatedly because I was confused by their gaze that was trying to scrutinize me. For a while, I remained silent until I remembered the mistake I had made.I forgot to tell my husbands about the uninhabited hut. This was all because someone poisoned me at dinner after I found out about the hut. I didn't have time to talk to them. I denied that it was my fault."So, the night before I was poisoned by someone, I found an uninhabited shack in the eastern region of the Celestial Dawn pack. There I found plastics that were still intact, as if someone had just used them. I suspected it, so I handed those things over to the Black Shadow organization for them to examine. That's all." I shrugged my shoulders trying to escape their stinging gazes."It's a good thing you weren't involved in something dangerous. I almost lost my heart," Zacharias whispered right in my ear. I shuddered in amusement as I felt his breath tickle my skin.I correc
Ruby stepped back slowly. The tears that had fallen down her cheeks she immediately wiped away roughly. She intended to catch up with Zephyr who was fetching mineral water for her. But what she got was neither Zephyr nor mineral water, but an ugly sight that pierced her eyes.A bitter smile graced her lips. Her gaze was still fixed on the two people hugging each other. Even after she was this close to Zephyr, Zephyr didn't notice her presence even though a few days ago he stated that her mate's scent was thicker than Thalia's. Then, what happened this time?With disappointment squeezing every part of her heart, Ruby turned around. Her steps were so fast that she just missed Isla who was in another hallway at the T-junction. Isla was about to greet Ruby, but she didn't have time to do so and ended up just looking at Ruby's back from a distance."What's wrong with Luna?" she muttered.Meanwhile, in another place, someone immediately awakened his consciousness. He immediately released h
