(Ruth's POV)My scent would be obvious to them and I immediately tried to conceal it by covering myself more so that I can listen to all of their conversation. Each time someone said something, I became more disappointed. "We didn't do this so anyone would get hurt. We wouldn't start without a plan." Asher said. They didn't do this for anyone to get hurt? If I was still so stupid, I would fall for their lies. The main thing is, they spied on me and almost got me killed. I thought I was being mean to them, I didn't know they were one step ahead of me again. "This is ridiculous. Since when did you become an informant for them? You think she's going to believe you didn't do it to hurt her?"I nodded in agreement while I was still hiding. From what I can see, Ripley knew nothing about this and he's very much surprised about what is going on. "Why won't you just listen? The only way to get the enemy is to get closer to them." Aster replied him. I suddenly decided to show myself to the
(Ruth's POV)I looked at my brother out of genuine concern and confusion. Doesn't this seem like such a big deal to him, or did he plan this?"You don't look like you're okay. I mean, if you learned about this betrayal before me, shouldn’t you have done something about it?" I questioned him, angry.I know I shouldn’t have said that to him, but I’m too angry to even think about what I’m saying right now. How can he be so calm about something that almost took our lives? Is he messing with me right now? Since when did they get on the same side?"Ruth, I’m sorry for not telling you. I didn’t mean to hide it from you, but I was trying to see their reasons. I was mad at first, but after hearing everything, I decided to let it go on," he explained to me, which only made me angrier."Are you playing with me? You're going to let it go on? Mom went to that place when no one sent her. Is she trying to get herself killed so she can blame it on me? In the end, she will still try everything to make
(Ruth's POV)Why did he have to come at this time? He wouldn’t stop looking at me, and I don’t understand why my body keeps reacting to him. I think I am going crazy, and it’s driving me completely insane. I’m going to lose my mind if he doesn’t get out of my room now.“What exactly do you want? What are you doing here at this time?” I asked him, trying to hide my pain. He shook his head, bringing himself back to reality. I know he must be tempted right now. Of course, I am attractive to any male wolf at this time, and I’m allowed to do whatever I want with any of them, but I guess I prefer to be alone.“I came to talk to you about something important, but I see you are not in a good condition. So, I will talk to the king about it instead,” he said, still looking at Amelia.I shook my head, angry. “Are you trying to make me mad or what? You came all the way here, so you should tell me what this is about.”He seemed hesitant in front of Amelia, and I guessed he might want to talk about
Ruth POV I can’t believe I’m kissing him, and he’s not kissing me back. He’s just standing there in front of me, confused and frozen. After a few moments, I immediately pull away because I don’t know what else to do. Why did I just do this? I feel so embarrassed that I asked him for help when I promised myself I would never do that. What should I do now? The way he’s looking at me... I don’t even know how to explain that this was a mistake, one that should have never happened. "You don’t have to take me seriously. You can just leave. I’m only doing this because I’m in so much pain. Forget whatever I said and get out," I said, trying to take back everything. I kissed him, and he seemed uninterested. I thought he wanted to help me earlier, but now it seems like he just wanted to make fun of me. Of course, this is a situation where he has the upper hand and could see me as a joke, but at the same time, I still had an upper hand if I wanted to use someone else. It was my own choice
(Ruth's POV)The light shone upon my face as I tried to turn over in bed. I felt a bit weak and tired, like my body had been doing all sorts of work all night long—except that it was the truth. I did something I never expected I would ask for myself at all. I touched the bed beside me while still stretching, and he wasn’t there.Mating with him the right way and consensually—I'd be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it. It was the best I’d ever had in my life, and I’m actually glad I did it. His claim over me yesterday scared me a little; it felt like I had no power to reject what he said. He’s not going to give me a hard time because of this, right?“Good morning, Princess,” a familiar voice said, and I immediately opened my eyes.I sprang up when I saw Ripley sitting in front of me with a smile on his face. The light shining on him from the window made him look so bright and handsome. Why does he look so good this morning? He’s already dressed, and I started to remember that we were tog
(Ripley's POV)I couldn't stop thinking about the Princess and what had happened between us. I need progress, and I already know that I still have to make more of it so I can secure my place in her heart. I'm not going to lose her—I’m going to make her mine. It's obvious she wants nothing to do with my brothers anymore.She also wants to reject everyone, which would hurt her. The only way for all of us to survive is for me to do this, and besides, I can’t lose her because I’m already in love with her. This isn’t just about saving everyone—it’s about saving my heart. I wouldn’t want to lose her at all.Maybe I wasn’t directly involved in what my brothers did to her, but I was indirectly involved because I’m family with them. It’s not going to be easy to wipe that off, which is the only reason I’ve held myself back for so long. But now, I don’t think I can do that anymore. She drives me crazy every time I see her, and I don’t know how much longer I can control myself.“Why do you keep s
(Ruth's POV)Waking up to see him beside me in the morning was never something I thought would be part of my routine. Throughout yesterday, I spent the whole time with him, doing all sorts of things that I never expected. But what can I do? I can't even control myself around him anymore, which is certain for me because it seems like I don't even know what I'm going to do without him. He's not my only mate, yet I chose to do this with him all the time. The others might have failed or betrayed me, which is kind of good for me because why would I want them to be happy? If I could do anything to make them angry or obsessed all the time, I would do that. I haven't even gotten enough revenge on them, so they owe me at least this much.I got up from the bed and went into the bathroom to take my bath. By the time I came back to the room, he wasn't there anymore. I wonder why he always runs out of the room when I'm coming back. Is it to check on me? Probably to make me feel embarrassed or som
(Ruth's POV)"I'll only let you go on one condition... that is, you have to let someone go with you to protect you, even if you don't want to," he stated.I already knew who he was talking about and why he was asking that as a condition. He knows how much I hate them. I'm sure my father doesn’t know what I've been doing behind his back, and he'll be very surprised—or probably disappointed—when he finds out that I'm not as hateful as I thought I was."I don't mind at all. Just tell whoever it's going to be to compose themselves and not make me angry whenever I'm trying to do something important. I wouldn’t want to have any issues with anyone," I said to him. Since we had already agreed on the fact that I'm going to go out there and find out for myself, I can't keep letting others investigate for me. It’s time for me to go there and use myself as a way to get through to all of them. I have my suspicions, but I'm not going to think too much for now until everything is finalized.I went b

(RUTH'S POV)A FEW MONTHS LATERIt’s been a few months since everything happened, and I’m finally trying to move on from the past. I thought my father was going to cover up what happened again, like he did with my mother, and pardon his sister, but I was wrong. I confronted him about everything, and he put his sister on trial.She has been stripped of her position as a princess and banished forever. She’s also locked up for the rest of her life due to the harm she has caused others, and for hurting so many people, which was a major part of her judgment. Her wolf has been taken from her, and she’s now wolfless. Her subordinates have also been punished, and everyone else involved in this has received their due. Alpha Morren finally got his punishment from the king for framing my mother and trying to kill my brother and me. He was removed from his position, his wolf was taken away, and he is now a rogue. He’s locked up in a certain place for several years before he can be released. He c
(Ruth's POV)I'm not scared of this situation because I know they won't succeed. I watched as they prepared everything, and they even got a witch who was going to transfer everything for them. They must have been preparing for a very long time. If only they knew that they were going to fail.Meanwhile, my attention went back to my mom, who was terrified. She was even at the point of begging them to use her blood instead because she didn't want anything to happen to her daughter. Then again, she was begging them to leave me alone and not kill me because I didn't do anything wrong."Stop begging them, Mom!" I yelled at her angrily.I was mad at her and them. Why would she keep begging when they obviously wouldn't listen? It was embarrassing for me, and I didn't want her to keep doing it. She stopped begging them and looked at me."My poor daughter. All I have ever brought to your life is pain, and now you are going to suffer because of the decisions I made. I should have just married an
(Ruth's POV)I knew I was going to be listening to another sob story about how unfair life has been to her and how my father had everything easy. She's just insecure and jealous of her brother, nothing more. If she wanted to be Queen so bad, she should have worked harder."Did you just say that about my story?" she questioned me.I nodded. "Your story is stupid and useless. I don't care about all this nonsense you just said, but I'm very sure your father made the best decision not to make you a queen. You don't deserve it at all."Her countenance changed to a serious one. She looked very evil and mad, her face turning red because of what I said. But I wasn't going to stop there. How could she hurt all those people and deceive so many, just because she wanted to rule over everyone?"You are nothing but a power-crazed psycho who should be getting treatment for your obsession. Someone like you can never become the queen with your mentality. You want to kill me just to get enough power to
(Ruth's POV)Why didn’t I think that this would be a trap? I should have been more careful and not led the both of us here to be caught like this. But then again, isn’t this a good thing? If this means I would get an opportunity to see the leader of all this nonsense, then I’m happy that I got caught by them."Now that we managed to get caught by them, what are we going to do to get out of this? Because you really messed up this time, and you didn’t give me time to think," Ripley scolded me.Why is he getting mad at me when the situation is in a good place for us? If we manage to get out of here, we can finally think of how to end him and stop all this nonsense immediately. We will also have to make sure no one else tries this again."You know this was a trap that wasn’t planned by me, but since we entered it, it’s our opportunity to see the leader. Don’t be sulking over this," I replied to him.We stayed in the dark room, and he refused to talk to me anymore. I think he was thinking
(Ripley's POV)She's asking me to kill the only person who might have quality information that would help us find the leader of this organization. I thought she wanted to badly find out who was behind all of this, but now she's asking me to kill him. I'm confused about how she thinks sometimes. I decided to mind link her to talk about this. ‘You don't have much time. We need to get him to say something before the others arrive. Don’t you understand the situation? We can't kill him, even if we want to.’‘Why don't you just give me a few seconds? He is about to give in. You can't ruin this by not trusting what I am about to do. He will confess immediately. He's clearly scared to die, which is why he is running away in the first place,’ she replied.'Are you sure about this? I don't think we are in the situation to be doing all of this.''I'm very sure. Pay attention to him, and you will see how he is. He's very scared, just acting like he's not,' she assured me.Then, I turned my atten
(Ruth's POV)The training was over, and we were already stamped as one of the warriors of the rogue King. We don't even know who that is yet, but we're supposed to work for him. I wouldn’t have been in this situation if I didn’t want to catch who that bastard is, since he’s so interested in me.We were taken to a building that looked a bit modern and had a lot of people there. We were told to choose an apartment in pairs. Ripley and I immediately decided to stay together, and I thought they might refuse since we were of different genders, but they didn’t care.The main thing was that we already got a place to stay so we could do our duties. After all that, they acted like they cared about us earlier. Once we got into the apartment, we checked around to see if there were cameras or anything watching us, and we found out there were indeed cameras installed in the apartment, which was a room with two beds.It had a kitchen counter space and a bathroom. We decided to check the bathroom, w
(Ruth's POV)By asking me to be my former self, why do I feel like he's trying to ask me to become an idiot like I was in the past? I looked at him in confusion. Even if I become an idiot, that doesn't mean they are going to be convinced by that act. They probably have my scent or part of my blood to know that I'm the one. That’s the only way I'm going to get caught. I need to stop that from happening, which is what I'm expecting from him—not becoming an idiot."I don't understand what you're saying. Don’t you see what is going on here? They probably know that I might come into this place, which is why I need to do something. Your brothers are already spying on me. Don’t you think they might have told them about this?" I said to him.He shook his head immediately. "My brothers wouldn’t tell them about something like this. Besides, they don’t even know that we’re out here doing this."I took a breath of relief. "That’s good news then. I’m glad you didn’t tell them anything, since you c
