Ruby Maverick POV

In the dark corners of the heart, hidden pieces of shattered trust. Sharp eyes radiated a deep emptiness, hinting at an unspoken sense of loss.

"Why? Why didn't you tell me this information immediately?" I asked in a low tone. The sun had only risen a moment ago, but I was already feeling tired.

Zephyr looked nervous. "I... I was waiting for the right time. Please trust me, dear."

"Trust?" The fake smile from the past resurfaced, leaving the bitter scent of betrayal haunting the recesses of the heart.

"You want me to trust you? After all, this unfolds?" I laughed until my eyes narrowed. I was laughing at my fate.

"Ruby, I didn't do it on purpose." Zephyr stepped forward, I immediately stepped back.

I don't know my current status. Am I the wife of the Alpha Kings or just a target for them? I couldn't even believe the truth of Zephyr's words. I was always like this, alone and without anyone to trust.

"Alright, let's say I believe you. Then when do you think is the righ

    His face had firm lines that showed strength and firmness, but his eyes held a mysterious depth. The black hair that fell around his face was matched with a skin color that resembled a bright moon on a night. A perfect combination.Though of course, so my husbands was more handsome.I bowed my head and shook my head softly to snap myself out of my trance. I was with my coworkers, but my mind was on my husbands. Remember Ruby, one of them has betrayed you!"My son, Theron Blackwell, is addressing you, Luna." Alpha Lycos looked at me with warmth and a smile blooming on his lips. I returned the smile and then turned to Mr. Theron, ah no, shouldn't I call him Alpha Theron?I winked once in response to Alpha Theron's greeting. After looking down for a long time, he finally straightened up and our eyes met. They were beautiful brown irises, like a jewel hidden in the darkness of the night."You will see my son often, Luna. My son has returned. Therefore, all duties will return to him as wel

    Ruby Maverick POVI was surprised by his sudden action. Although he seemed angry, his grip on my shoulder was not that tight. He only applied enough pressure so that there was still a gap."I can't take it anymore. We need to talk."I knew I couldn't stay mad at him forever, but I also didn't want to end this matter easily. A relationship is based on trust and honesty, but he wasn't doing either of those things.I was disappointed, even to the point of feeling betrayed. But after pondering for a few days, seeing the pained expression on his face, and his attempts to start a conversation with me even though I rejected him, I was made to rethink.For a long time, I only wanted freedom. Trusting someone would only bind me to an expectation that could be shattered at any time. That's why I don't easily put my trust in others.'If your life is already broken, don't add the burden of trust. It will only invite betrayal.' That's the principle I've been practicing in my life.I trusted the Mo

    A large palm was raised. He got out of the comfortable seat beside me to walk around. It wasn't long before I could see his sweet smile again.Instead of leaving that trivial task to the warrior on duty, he did it himself. Not only was he a kind and intelligent man, but he was also a very polite person. I honestly thought Alpha Theron was a man of little knowledge. Other than the fact that he married at a young age to his late mate, he had also left his post for a year. The conversation went smoothly. I got to know more about his personality, as well as his experiences in the business world. I exchanged information on the current progress of the business with his experiences."Please be careful."The wind blew my hair. I smiled kindly when Alpha Theron extended his hand to me. My left hand returned his hand, and my right hand settled on the car door. I slowly got out of the car."I enjoyed the dinner you prepared."Alpha Theron smiled happily. He stepped one step back for a distance

    "Are there not enough cookies?" Zaire held a cookie in front of my lips. His other hand rested under my chin as I took half a bite.I shook my head happily. The sweetness of the chocolate spread melted on my tongue. Plus the crunchy outside yet soft inside texture further increased my appetite. Cookies with perfect doneness!Zaire stared at me silently and then chose to pop the other half of the cookie into his mouth. His brow furrowed as his teeth worked hard. "These are too sweet for me," Zaire said as he stared at the pile of cookies in the bowl in my arms."If you don't want them, I'll finish them myself." I shoved another miniature but fat cookie into my mouth. The cookies disappeared in one mouthful."If I knew you liked them so much, I would have bought you more earlier." Zephyr stroked my hair. I only returned it with a sweet smile because my mouth was full.My body rolled to the side, but Zephyr swiftly wrapped his arms around my waist. While he was only focusing on me, I wa

    "Which part of their body dared to touch you? Was it the hand?" Zephyr stood to my right, Zacharias to my left, while Zaire was in front of me gently stroking the strands of my hair that the unknown men had touched. Zaire seemed to consider them a disease that would leave a trace. The two men in front of me realized the explicit meaning. Their faces flushed with embarrassment mixed with anger. I was enjoying this.Zacharias relaxed his palms. "Should we break their hands?"Perhaps because my husbands were taller than the average man and had broad chests, the guts of the two men before me seemed to shrink. They moved back hesitantly."What did you want to do just now? Don't you know who we are?!" snapped the man in the black shirt. Although he said it in a high tone, his facial expression implied fear. What a coward!"If you don't want to be thrown overboard, then leave us alone! Blame it on that insolent woman of yours!" said another man wearing a brown shirt. He stood behind his fri

    The Executive Officer with several ship security officers in tow was walking towards us. Instead of yelling at us in a high tone or threatening us sternly, he hunched his back.What was he doing this time? Was he a werewolf who knew the Alpha Kings' position? Yet he looked human."I apologize for the inconvenience," the Executive Officer said respectfully.Zacharias, whose presence was not felt, suddenly grabbed my shoulder. A smile spread across his lips. He looked very happy after punishing the sassy man."You can straighten your back. This is an incident that happened out of your control, you don't need to apologize for it," Zephyr said with a formal smile."We're going to take a break. So, please clean up the rest. I thank you for your help." Zaire tapped the man lightly on the shoulder as we were about to walk past him.He bowed his head. "Yes!"After listening to the heart-warming answer, we left. Calmness came to my heart, but not the curiosity that was soaring high. I held it

    "Actually, I...."Zacharias and Zephyr looked at me in confusion as I seemed to hesitate. I couldn't stop my bad thoughts for fear that they would leave me, even though I knew clearly that they loved me very much."I experienced rejection before, and you guys are my second chance. I'm sorry for not telling you something this important. It may sound like an excuse, but I accidentally forgot about it," I explained at length. I looked down deeply, afraid to see the facial expressions my husbands were making right now."Was the day we met you the day you experienced rejection?"I nodded slowly in response to Zephyr's question.They have high self-esteem. They would have taken offense at being my second chance instead of my first."It must have been painful. You've done well to forget it. So, don't try to relive it," Zephyr said.Puzzled, I straightened my gaze. Zacharias hugged me from behind, while Zephyr pulled both my hands over his thighs and gave them a gentle caress.

    "Are there any seriously injured warriors?" The bag that had been coiled in my hand now turned to the servant. "From the last I knew no warriors were seriously injured, Luna. But there is one woman who is wanted by the rogues. That woman is seriously injured. For now, we're evacuating her to a safe place," the warrior explained.A woman? Again? That time the rogues attacked because of the arrival of the aunt, then this time it repeated for the second time. Was the woman they were referring to an aunt? Although almost all pack members knew Auntie's face, Auntie might have used a spell to change her appearance. But what if she turned out to be a foreign woman? Then she should be suspected, and so should Auntie. The way they arrived was too similar to be considered a coincidence."How many rogue troops are attacking?""About three dozen rogues, Luna."My forehead furrowed deeply. A number that was even with our trained warriors. Again, very suspicious."Which part of the border is gett

    Discussions with pack leaders in the US that lasted up to ten hours resulted in many decisions. Among them were the important strategies for warfare in terms of numbers, position, timing, and natural conditions. We have utilized all the information we have.In exactly three days, a large-scale war would erupt. When I think about it, I'm constantly nervous and palpitating. However, on the other hand, I also couldn't wait to meet the leader of the black magicians.Currently, the rogues have been wiped out. The target of my anger at the injustice of my parents and aunt's deaths had turned to the black witches. Although there was not much written about them in my family's death report, I was certain that they had a large role in it. By risking my life, I will make them pay dearly for all the heinous deeds they have done."Luna, is there anything missing from that rifle? Please tell me, I'll immediately relay it to the researchers so they can get back to repairing it quickly."I turned to

    "Not only are you being disrespectful, but you also dare to lie this time. Are you ready to face the risk of this impudence?!" snapped Luna Livia vehemently. She occasionally looked at Luna Juliette who was still showing a shocked expression."Luna, please calm down," I pleaded in a gentle tone. I didn't want to hurt Luna Livia's heart, but I also couldn't let her take actions that she would most likely regret later. Right now Luna Livia must be filled with worry for Luna Juliette. I heard from Luna Amelie that Luna Livia and Luna Juliette have been friends since childhood. The relationship between them is very deep. So, it was natural for Luna Livia to respond sensitively when it came to Luna Juliette.The park ranger suddenly dropped to his knees. He held the document in his hand with a downcast look."I'm sorry, I was just thinking of quickly handing this information over to you all," said the park ranger.The Alpha of the Blue Moon pack, who was closest to the park ranger, rose t

    "Are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" whispered Zephyr.I turned my head and looked at him listlessly. In response to his question, I just shook my head.I was fine, but Luna Juliette wasn't. On her way to be the representative for this meeting, she heard the news that the Sunflare pack was being attacked by a rogue pack. But she was too far away from the pack to return.She was in a position where she couldn't do anything. If she went back and crossed the border of the Sunflare pack that had been surrounded by the enemy, she would most likely be caught. Death was not a problem Luna Juliette was worried about, but it was different if she was taken hostage. If she couldn't help, at least she wanted to be a burden to her pack. That was Luna Juliette's thinking.Her mate was fighting a battle between life and death, Luna Juliette definitely couldn't take this meeting in stride. I glanced at her repeatedly and she just looked pensive.Although these words were quite cr

    "What?!"Zaire and Zacharia suddenly rose to their feet. Their booming voices made me frown. Even the usually calm Zephyr kicked the table in annoyance at Zaire and Zacharias' exaggerated response."This isn't the first time you've faced a big case!" Zephyr snapped.Zaire and Zacharias were silent. They sat back in their seats with the same annoyed expressions.Zephyr looked back at me. "Ruby, continue."I nodded. "Thalia Everhart's real name is Quinn O'Reily, she is part of the Alpha O'Reily family, the Alpha family of the Winter Blaze pack. The pack that had collapsed ten years ago due to losing the war with the rogue pack.""Quinn O'Reilly was originally taken hostage by Alpha Rogue. But after Alpha Rogue obtained the head of the Alpha of the Winter Blaze pack, he slowly forgot about Quinn O'Reily's existence and ended up leaving everything related to the girl to his right hand.""Quinn O'Reilly changed into Thalia Everhart.

    "Is the food bad?"I straightened my gaze to look at Zephyr. A stiff smile rose on my lips as I shook my head. "No, the food is good.""Tell me the real reason. You only ate a few bites of steak and even now that dessert has been served, you're just looking at them and daydreaming. Shouldn't there be an explanation for your uncharacteristic behavior?" Zacharias looked at me carefully, as if he wanted to extract information through our gaze.Zaire put down the fork in his hand. "You're not okay. Is the reason related to the investigation of the rogue's residence yesterday?"I lowered my gaze. After closing my eyes for a while, I returned with a sweet smile. My frantic thoughts began to organize themselves neatly."Right, my decreased appetite is related to yesterday's investigation.""Now, it's my turn to ask. When are you going to give me the document containing my family's death?"They gasped, as if not expecting this question to come out of my lips. They stared at each other before

    Ruby Maverick POV Barbaric! They have no conscience whatsoever. How can they treat a living being like a puppet? They had to be exterminated before any more victims fell. "Call more warriors to come in." One of the five warriors, who was busy unlocking the iron bars, faced me. "Yes, Luna!" This long hallway consisted of approximately twenty prisons. Inside the prison were four living people, not counting the carcasses of the dead slaves. It was heartbreaking to think that they had to live in a place like this. My finger massaged the bridge of my nose. "I need to get them all out first. Regardless of their past which may or may not have been bad due to their association with rogues, they still cannot be treated like this." My memory spun towards a moment in the past. The moment when Thalia told me her tragic life story of living in prison for most of her life. After all of Thalia's crimes were exposed, I doubted everything she said including that statement. But if it tu

    Zacharias Maverick POV"The condition of this house is so neat that we can't assume a raid or sudden movement. It seems like they have been planning to escape for a long time. But how and how?"Zaire answered my gaze with a shrug. "They managed to escape without leaving a trace once again. Though after all this time we finally found their residence. But it was all in vain." After checking the security of the three huts around the main residence, the warriors and I came to the main residence with some files that we thought were very important. With Adam and Zaire's confirmation that the conditions around them were not dangerous, I then called for the official detectives to enter and conduct the investigation as planned."This place is huge. It looks like it will take at least two days to complete the investigation." I looked around, where the warriors were busy picking up the files and stacking them together."Aren't they taking their documents as if they want to show us something, o

    "That's it. The location of their residence is not far from the Celestial Dawn pack. The trip only took three hours. Come on, that's a shorter amount of time than we expected!" Zephyr threw a document on the table. The document containing the report was wide open on page thirty."Look! It says that the distance between the Celestial Dawn pack and the rogue's residence is quite close. Even the statements in the report support me," he continued.Zacharias pounded the table. "Enough, Zeph. Think rationally. No matter how close it is, we won't be able to send help quickly if the pack is suddenly attacked. We don't even know if this is a trap or not. You also know the report states that they didn't see any black mages there, right?"Zaire patted Zephyr's shoulder. "Please listen to us just this once. Zeph, you have to stay here. At least one of us should remain in the pack. This is the best way."Zephyr let out a long breath. "No, but why should I be the one to stay?""Of course because yo
