I can't believe those people are now in our house. First, I dislike that bitch called Ruth and she just had to be our mate. Alfred and I went to his room to have a drink. Though I know she wasn't to blame for any of this, I can't help but think her innocence was just a facade.
If she was born from that woman, she must be exactly the same as her mother. I have no other way of thinking about it. We have a lot against Stella and want revenge against her.
I am the oldest and the one who's mostly bold and strong. Of course, I have to be in order to keep the family together.
"I hate seeing that bitch everywhere. Now we can't even drink openly because we don't want to see her face." Alfred said, pouring himself a drink.
"I think we've warned her enough, though I'm not sure if they warning would be enough."
He looked at me with a smirk, "I saw how shaky she was. Do you think she's going to run away?"
I scoffed, "She's not leaving if that's what you're thinking. They're here to stay obviously."
"We're going to have this everyday if she's going to be here. I can't believe this seriously." He complained more, he looked completely pissed and nothing good was going to come out of asking him to calm down.
I might be the eldest but it doesn't mean I can exactly control them. They might respect me on different occasions but at the end, we're all brothers. My brothers and I have always hated people who come into the lives of others just for benefits. This applied to Ruth and her mother.
Alfred was always serious about everything especially business, he was also very bold and wasn't afraid of speaking out. If we didn't hold him back sometimes, we would have gotten issues with a lot of people.
"We'll obviously make Ruth our playtoy, she's out mate after all." He said with a smirk, "I don't mind ruining her along with her mother."
"We just have to play it cool around her, meanwhile, we should make sure we ruin the both of them for coming here in the first place." I added.
But I thought about it again. We had something against the mother which was why our hate train for Ruth started in the first place. Could it be that Ruth is different from her mother Stella?
"What are you thinking about?" He asked, noticing my silence.
"I don't know... I was thinking, what if she's not exactly the same as her mother? Besides, she's our mate too, do you think the moon goddess is wrong for choosing her?"
"The moon goddess is totally wrong." He blurted out, not hiding disappointment.
"You can't say that about the moon goddess, he careful." I warned him.
He frowned at me, "You sound like you like her. Do you have feelings for that bitch?"
I sneered, "That's not even possible, I only asked you a question and you already made it out to be something else."
"Then you shouldn't be thinking like that. The moon goddess chose the person but we always have the opportunity to reject her. We won't because she has to suffer. To think she's not like her mother is wrong!"
"Stella made our mother kill herself after Mom caught her having an affair with our father. We can't just forget that and let her go. Both mother and daughter have to pay with their lives!"
I couldn't deny the fact that he was right about everything he said because Stella deserved everything she was about to get.
"So... We're starting the revenge by using her daughter right?" I asked and we both heard someone gasp from outside.
I stopped Alfred from saying something, just to find out who was eavesdropping. Then we heard a voice outside.
"What are you doing?" It was from Aster.
Then we heard running footsteps and could only guess it would have been one person.
"Did that bitch just stand at our door to eavesdrop on our conversation? I really don't know what I'm going to do with her!" Alfred snorted.
Aster walked inside, looking around the room to see the bottles of drinks we had.
"Are you both seriously in here drinking and spilling out all of our secrets in front of Ruth? What is wrong with you both?" Aster scolded us.
Aster was the brave and obedient one. He does most of the things others refused to do and never complained about them.
"Aren't you going to say anything?"
"What am I supposed to say?" Alfred fired at him.
"That's enough, it doesn't matter if she heard or not. She can't do anything about it anyways." I stopped them from starting an argument.
I stood up and straightened my clothes, "I'll go check on her and make sure she keeps her mouth shut if she wants to live."
With that said, I made my way towards her room. I didn't knock before pushing the door but I found out it was locked from inside.
"Hey, you're going to want to open this door if you don't want me kicking it down right now." I warned while knocking on the door.
"Please leave me alone! I don't want to talk to you!" She shouted from inside.
I scoffed, "You have two fucking minutes to open this or I'm going to force my way in and you know what happens after!"
She didn't want to open it at first but she did after I kicked the door the first time. I almost fell inside while leaning on the door. I turned to her with a murderous look.
"How dare you keep me waiting outside!" I yelled, closing the door behind her.
She moved back like a scared prey, it made me feel satisfied.
"Why are you here? I have already seen enough with you all, please leave me alone." She sounded like she was commanding me more than begging me.
I laughed, "What do you think? You're our playtoy and we can do whatever we want with you. Continue crying about it."
She shook her head, "And I thought you were different from them. I guess I was just an idiot to think you were someone better."
I stopped, did she just insult me?
(Ruth's POV )What was I thinking when I had the nerve to say that to him? It has only been a day since I came and I already got into all sorts of trouble. How on earth am I supposed to explain myself to him?I can't believe I heard him and his brother talking about what they're going to do to my mom and I. It's not like I did anything wrong but I've always paid for others wrongdoings my entire life. Finding out what happened to their mother broke my heart. I can't believe they witnessed that, but I can't deny the fact that they could be wrong. I had to run away after getting caught by Aster. I don't want my mom to meet them abusing me and blaming me for it. What if everything was a misunderstanding and they just needed to find out who was the real culprit behind everything? I just don't know how to explain to them because they won't even give me a chance to say anything. "Did you just insult me?" Asher asked with a frown on his face. He looked like he would murder me if I didn't
(Ruth's POV )What exactly is going on? I don't understand. How on earth did I die and meet them again? I looked at Aster and Asher who were smiling at me creepily. It was too scary that I had to accept the reality that I didn't die. These two wouldn't even let me die in peace after what they did to me. I gasped and suddenly moved back, hugging my knees whilst trying to get away from them. "You're finally awake. You scared us, we didn't know you'd be passed out for that long." Asher said with a sinister smile on his face. It killed me to look at him happy after what he did to me. He must enjoy torturing others by the way he looked too happy to see me suffer. I was terrified, just looking at the both of them. It felt like I was losing my breath from the fair concern they showed to me. It was too crazy for me to comprehend. Pretending like they were actually worried about me when they're the reason I am a mess. I want to die rather than seeing them!Tears slowly rolled down my face
(Ruth's POV ) I ended up going to the mall to get the things my mom asked me to get. I couldn't say no because she still has me in her hands and I have no way to go. I looked drained and pale when I left the mall. I quickly made my way back home in a cab so I could get back on time. This was because there was signs that it was going to rain soon enough and I wouldn't want to be caught up in the rain after what already happened to me. I know how much I'm going to suffer because of that. How did I also not realize I had been unconscious since yesterday and they acted like what happened to me wasn't exactly serious. They felt no remorse whatsoever and my mom didn't make the situation better. I cried silently knowing my place in this world since I have been born was to suffer. How could my own mother hate me to the extent of not caring about how I feel when she acts like that? My heart broke recalling everything that happened yesterday and how she blamed me still. I cried for help yes
(Aster's POV )"What are you doing here?" I asked the half-dead Ruth while holding an umbrella to my head. I didn't expect to see her outside when I came back to the house. Besides, it's raining heavily and she's sitting out here in the rain. Is she trying to rebel or what? There's no other way to explain this. "I...I..." She quickly held my trousers, stopping me from moving. "Please help me... Please let me go inside." She begged, shivering like she was about to die. I might not like her but what the hell is going on here? She recently woke up right? I'm very sure she just woke up a few hours ago because she was in the shower. I know Asher did that to her but I'm not going rat my brothers out for her. "Get away from me. What do you mean by that? I'm not holding you, am I?" I asked her and she shook her head. "I didn't say that. Please help me out... The door is locked, I can't stay out much longer." She begged and I looked at the door. My brothers and I want her to suffer so th
(Ruth's POV )What on earth just happened? I just witnessed something strange happen between Aster and I. I couldn't believe it either. It was as if I had some sort of control on him and he let me go when I begged him. "You... What did you do to me?" He asked and I couldn't say anything. "Nothing!" I said and ran off before he could come after me, but I bumped into someone else. Walter Carter. The first person I found to be my mate and the same one who started all of this. The one who wanted me to become his toy rather than his mate. I can't believe I'm looking into his beautiful blue eyes again. Why did all of the brothers have to be good looking? It worse that they have such alluring looks yet they only want to mess with me. I hadn't seen Walter since we came and he was against us coming in front of his father. I moved backwards when our eyes met because I couldn't tell what he was thinking or trying to do by looking at me like that. I should apologize and get out of his sight
(Ruth's POV)Just like I expected, they left me alone in the room. After Walter asked me to beg him earlier and I didn't he just left me here and some of his brothers came by after he told them about me they all laughed at me and left me there. There was nothing more I could do than try to survive in this dark room, as I was worse than any other claustrophobic person in the world. It was already hard for me to live and they just made my situation worse. I tried so hard to stay alive but my breath was slowly going away. At first, I would breathe faster than before and I would cry trying to stay alive but now I couldn't even do it. I cried in silence so they wouldn't think they won. But if they came back and found my dead body they would probably be happy and they would just frame me for trying to kill myself and everyone would believe them of course especially if my mom just tried to end it quickly she won't even pursue it because she doesn't care about me. The only thing she think
(Ruth's POV)Is he some sort of psychic or something? How did he know I wasn't asleep anymore? Why was he acting like he was worried about me not waking up if he already knew I was awake? I tried so hard to hide the fact that I was awake from them so how on earth did he find out? I didn't answer him as I still tried to pretend I was unconscious just to shake him off. But I felt him slowly coming close to me and his face was getting close to mine, also I could feel his breath which made me panic. What does he want from me? I was trying so hard to keep my composure and not tremble when he was around me. I thought I already said to myself that I would not let them shake me if I survived this. Thankfully enough, the moon goddess keeps bringing me back to this shithole so I have no other choice than to fight for myself. "I know you are already awake bitch. There's no need to hide it from us anymore unless you want me to wake you up by force." He tried to trick me into standing up but I
(Ruth's POV)"Ruth?" Aster called me, bringing me back to my senses. "Why are you looking at us like that?"Asher scoffed, "She's shooting lasers out of her eyes. Let me guess, you're having thoughts of fighting us, aren't you?"It turned out to be all in my head. All that shouting and scaring them, all that threat earlier was all in my head. I wouldn't dare act recklessly yet. I was only staring at them with my body trembling with so much anger. I was indeed shooting invisible lasers from my eyes and I was beating them up all in my head. I said I would fight for myself, I don't think I should do that without a plan. I can't do this yet without thinking about the consequences. "Are you seriously ignoring us right now?" Alfred sounded so annoyed. Asher pushed me back and I fell to the bed, "If you don't have anything to say, just sit and stop acting like a bitch. I don't know what I'm going to do again if you don't behave." "Asking us what we want from you when you already know it.

(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
(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
