(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)Embarrassment would be an understatement. Why does it feel like I am clinging to him all of a sudden? I don't understand myself anymore. First, I didn't want him to leave after I asked him to get away from me, and now I'm defending him when he's literally part of that family. "Are you defending him? Did you forget what they did to you? Do you even realize that you were framed to hide their crimes?" Mom fired at me angrily. "What?""I guess he hasn't told you about it. I'm very sure his brothers must have told him everything. The reason you were framed for that crime in the past was to cover up what they did to you. It wouldn't be a good thing for the pack if everyone heard that the future Alphas assaulted you," she explains to me. I found it hard to believe because I know my mother would do anything to make me believe her. Was this the truth? I thought they did this because they hated me and didn't want me to give birth to the child. "Don't lie to me about anything! Y
(Ripley's POV)It feels like things keep getting worse for me. Nothing is going to change the fact that my family did the worst I can ever think of. She interacted with us without knowing the reason why she was sent to her death. I felt heartbroken knowing everything happened because I was never there. My brothers would have never done anything wrong if I was there. Even if I wasn't the oldest, I was still the most feared one out of all of them, and they wouldn't have turned that way. "Please stop standing here. She said she wants to be alone, and I think you should come back to see her later when she's much calmer," I said to the person standing at her door, refusing to leave even after she locked it. "Do you think you've won this now that she's defending you? I don't know what you fed her with, but I'm not going to let you go anywhere near my daughter again," Stella, Ruth's mom, said to me. I recognized her face the moment I saw her. She has her pictures hidden in the royal fami
(Ruth's POV)"I said I wanted to go to the club alone. Why the hell did they have to send you to me? Are they just trying to make me mad every single day or what?" I said as I entered the car.I happily dressed up for the club, completely ditching my princess image, and I was ready to go. I knew Amelia ran out earlier to report me, but I didn't think much about it. I thought they would not allow me to go out, but then they had to send him to me.After getting myself depressed about everything that happened earlier, I didn't want to see his face because I was always reminded of his brothers. Everything that happened in the past keeps replaying in my head. Once I look at him, I keep seeing the abuse, bullying, and assault that I went through.The worst they could have done is give me a pack of bodyguards just to stop me from going anywhere. Why did they have to bring someone I didn't want to see the most? Now I'm fully convinced they are just trying to make my life a living hell."Alpha
(Ruth's POV)A romantic experience?Why did my heart flutter at the mention of a romantic experience? Have I been wanting to see something like this for a long time? I'm very sure this is just a normal reaction, as my body would have done. I cleared my throat. "I'm not interested in your romantic experience. I just want to have a good time for the first time in my life. Is that so wrong?"He shook his head. "No, Your Highness, it's not wrong for you to want to have a good time. It's not also wrong for me to want you to have the best time of your life."I feel like he's twisting my words every time, but I can't do anything about it because he always has a way to answer every one of my questions."If you can come with me now, there's something I want to show you that I know you'll be very happy to see," he said to me again.I thought about it and decided to follow him. Since I already came here, there's no need for me to not see what he wants to show me. If he does anything to hurt me,
(Ruth's POV)Should I be super excited about the fact that someone I've always admired now wants to talk to me, or should I be worried about the fact that he already knows who I am without me telling him anything? I haven't even been announced completely to the whole world, so I'm very positive not everyone knows what I look like.How did he find out who I am? And where the hell is the person I came with? Did he ditch me or something?"What's wrong with Your Highness? You are not saying anything. Are you surprised that I know who you are?" Damien asked me.I realized he was already in front of me, and he was so close. It was the first time I was seeing his face up close, and I didn't know how to act. It's not easy seeing someone you've idolized for years finally standing in front of you. I was panicking and waiting for Ripley, strangely."I'm sorry. I'm a huge fan, and I'm a bit surprised that you're calling me that. Are you sure you don't have the wrong person?" I said, pretending no
(Ruth's POV)A kiss.This was the last thing I expected from him tonight. I hit him repeatedly for him to stop, but he didn’t. It wasn’t like the other night when I was able to pull away from him. It was different this time around. He was being gentle, yet I felt he was hard on me. His lips tasted too good and soft.I got lost in the kiss, and I gave myself to him completely, forgetting that I’m supposed to hate him. Why do I desire him so much? I’m not supposed to feel a mating bond, especially since my wolf isn’t around to make me feel it. Do I like him? Why would I want to be with someone like this? But then, I can’t get enough of his lips, and I wanted him to continue with me.But he suddenly pulled away while I wasn’t expecting it. I was enjoying everything, completely forgetting that I was supposed to hate him. I became disappointed when he stopped kissing me."Your Highness, you can open your eyes now," he whispered in my ear. My face became red with embarrassment. I couldn’t

(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
