(Ruth's POV)The whole procession of welcoming the King and Prince took a long time. Everyone lined up as the King's carriage passed by. I was just standing with the rest of the students, and they were waving at everyone.I made eye contact with them, and they just smiled at me, while some delusional students thought the King and Prince were smiling at them. I also saw the Carter brothers standing on the other side of the road, and they were busy staring at me."What the hell is wrong with those bastards? Why can't they take their eyes off you?" Amelia gritted her teeth. "If only I can be paired with one of them, maybe I can beat the hell out of them or kick them in the guts."I almost laughed because of how Amelia was reacting. It wasn't that serious, but she seemed very angry that they kept looking at me."Those people are not the kind of people you fight with. I'm not saying this because of your strength or anything, but they are very cunning and evil. I don't think you want to hav
(Ruth's POV)"You're going to wish you never said that to me." I muttered with a smirk while positioning myself to fight her. She didn't look pleased that I didn't care about her ambitions. Did she think that was enough to push me away from this match? It's not even a competition actually. It's just a friendly combat to show off our skills. "I'm going to win this no matter what." She said again and I just felt like shutting her up. She was talking too much. Is she trying to distract me with her talks so she can win this? Is she not confident in her skills or what? Why the sudden fear seeing someone as weak as me?"Get ready students in three, two, one and start!" We both launched an attack at each other, we were coming with the same skill, and we ended up kicking each other. We both fell and got up at the same time. It was a tough fight as I tried to block all her attacks. It didn't matter if I win or not. The main thing is that we can both emerge winners for the duration of the
(Ruth's POV )Never would I have thought that I would be given so much respect like this. I could see the look on Vanessa's face when she found out she had revealed all of her plans to the sister of the person she wants to try so hard to marry. But then again, who does she think she is to say something like that? Does she think she has a chance with him or something?"Roses are red, violets are blue; you just made the wrong decision by telling me your secrets," I mouthed to her with a smile.My brother led me towards the place where my father was sitting down. He smiled as soon as we got closer to him and hugged me. I couldn't contain my happiness, knowing that I finally have a parent at the school events. My father and mother are total opposites. My father cares much more about me, and my mother doesn't at all. I don't know why she couldn't leave me with him since he could love me with all of his heart like this. Why did she have to take me with her?Now is finally the time for me
(Ruth's POV)"Ruth! Why aren't you saying anything? It's me, your mom!" She said again, shamelessly.My hand was trembling the moment I saw her. I couldn't believe the shamelessness she had to come back to me. Why was she acting like she didn't know how I disappeared? She was acting like she had been looking for me all along. Did she think she could fool the king with this act?Amelia seemed very concerned. "Your Highness... you should say something to her. If you don't want her to keep bothering you, do you want me to call the guards to stop her?""What the... are you doing here? Someone get this woman away from me! I don't want to see her; she is evil and trying to hurt me!" I shouted for help.She was shocked at my sudden outburst. She didn't think I would actually treat her like that. Of course, she expected me to welcome her with open arms. Her audacity is appalling to me."Ruth! What the hell are you trying to say? I'm your mother, and they all know me! How could you say somethi
(Alexander's POV)I can't believe we finally get to see my mother, who had abandoned me since I was a child. It's been years, and I've been wanting to see her for a very long time, but there was no opportunity for me. I couldn't leave my duties as I had a lot of things to do, but I did get to see her once. I thought she was living happily, seeing her with another man, and she was laughing. I thought she was very happy and didn't bother to check on anything else. I didn't even know I had a sister until we found her. "Ruth, if you at least listen to me and give me a chance, I can tell you what is going on," I said, trying to get her attention, but she wasn't listening to me. She looked away, trying not to talk to me at all, and it hurt me because I couldn't bear seeing her mad at me for defending our mother. After hearing what she had to say about our mom, I can't exactly blame her for being so angry, especially with what happened the last time they were together. "Are you not going
(Ruth's POV)I'm not going to forgive them, no matter what they do, at least not for now. I should have known I was on my own in this world, and no one else would have time for me. I thought I finally found a family that would actually give me the love and care I deserved, but it's still the same thing. My wicked mother just had to appear. How could they defend her in front of me? They have no idea what I had to go through all on my own because of her, and they think it's easy for me to just smile after seeing her face. She literally pushed me away today without looking back, and she thinks I'm going to forgive her easily. Why the hell do I have to be the one to suffer from all of this? This is so unfair to me every time I think about it.Amelia walked inside the room with a tray holding some tea. "I'm not ready to talk to anyone right now, and I don't want to yell at her because it's not her fault," I thought. "Your Highness, I know you are mad at everyone right now, but what you
(Ruth's POV)I can't believe I am standing here, listening to this pervert tell me everything he has been thinking about me. But then again, why am I not mad at him for saying this to me? My body feels like I'm expecting to hear this from him, and it worries me so much. "Do you want me to keep going on about this, Your Highness?" he asked me, and I stopped him immediately. "What the hell do you think you're doing? Stop talking about that right now, or I'm going to make you pay for it!" I threatened him, moving far away from him. How could he even think about something like this after knowing my experience with his brothers? Mating bond or not, I need to end this nonsense as soon as possible so I don't have any issues any longer. "Yes, Your Highness," he obeyed me and went towards the food to dish it out. "I think it's time for us to end this mating bond between us. I don't have my wolf anymore, so there's no reason to keep this bond. Besides, even if I had my wolf, you all are no
(Ruth's POV)I thought he was just trying to flatter me with the things he said before, but now I can see he really can't control himself around me. I think this can be blamed on the mating bond.I wrapped my hands around his neck. It's no fun if I just let him go without tempting him. I'm bored staying inside and trying to stay away from my mother. It's not bad if I have someone to play with."Did I just hear you stutter?" I asked him with a smirk on my face. "Surely you're not falling in love with me, are you?"I expected him to quickly deny it, but he didn't. Instead, he was surprised that I said that. I was shocked that he wasn't saying anything. Did he actually fall in love with me, or is this still part of his facade?"What the hell? Why do you look so surprised?" I fired at him, backing away from him.He pulled me back towards him by my waist, fearlessly looking into my eyes. My body trembled under his touch, and I was frozen for a moment."W-what are you trying to do? Let me g

(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
