Ruby’s POV A voice comes out of nowhere, and definitely inside the invisible barrier. Due to the sudden fear I grab onto Owen's shirt. “Come in you.” The voice says, we try to look around, but there is no one in the vicinity. I feel Owen's hand tighten around my wrist, as he pulls me towards him even more. Even amidst all this scare, I feel so happy that he is the one with me. “Hey, don't worry, just pass via the barrier and you will see me.” I can feel that the statement is directed to me, and somehow it doesn't sound dangerous. I take a step forward, but Owen pulls me back. “What are you trying to do, baby?” He asks in an angry yet concerned tone. The fear is evident in his eyes though he is afraid for me, I can feel it. “We came here for this baby, and we have to do it no matter what. And also I can't stay here for too long, mum, and dad must be approaching now. And I don't want to find out what will happen when I see him.” I say feigning courage. I need him to be focused and
Third person’s POVOwen sits on the ground, resting his back on the invisible barrier. Feeling lost and useless, he couldn’t go in with her. All he can think is what’s happening to his mate. Why did all that have to happen? Why was he paired with a wolf? Now he cannot concentrate on anything else, life has become empty without her. Her smile brightens up his heart. His memory is stuck on the day he first set his eyes on her. Her look when she first saw him, her blue dress. He wanted everything to go back to how it was, when he would sneak into her room to watch her sleep. When he could just have her in his arms. Everything about him changed the day he met her, he grew something he never had; humanity. What will happen when that light is taken away from him?Ruby’s father and mother walk past the barrier, ignoring him completely, he is too broken to even try to speak to them. He just lies flat on the filthy ground full of old leaves and twigs, algae and moss all over his bare hands
Owen’s POVWhy are they taking so long, I can’t stop pacing around it has been hours it’s already nighttime. The cabin has been like that all day. I have tried all I could to pass through this freaking barrier, but I haven’t. Just as I am about to tap into the barrier again with all my might, something weird happens. I fall through, finding myself in a entirely different place. The weather, and environment changes, it's even day time here, since I fell flat on my face, when I get up I am met with three sets of eyes. Mr. Noah, Anna and some weird looking woman. Her white hair is so long that it's blowing freely against the wind. I get up nervously, my whole being afraid of what I am reading on their faces, I am just afraid of asking. “Is everything okay miss Powers?” I ask Ruby's mom. She just looks at me and shakes her head. The tiredness evident on her face and eyes. “No, please don’t tell me my Ruby is…" I rush past them and into the house. I stop in my tracks when I see three u
Ruby’s POV I open my eyes to finding myself in a stunning place. I am lying on a really beautiful garden, I am surrounded by yellow and white flowers. The sky is so clear and the air so serene. I think this is what peace feels like, am I dead? Because this place isn't real at all. I see colourful birds singing and swaying right above me, I think there is a rhythm, they are actually singing a rhythmic song, how beautiful. I get up slowly, my body seems so different, lighter and with no baggage. I feel whole, so whole that it scares me. I look around and all I can see are vast flowers and beautiful trees. This is definitely an illusion. Maybe its a dreame, if it is then I don't want to wake up from it. “Ruby, please come back to me.” I hear a voice so loudly and clear. It's the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. It's the voice that I crave. I smile immediately when hearing that, I look at where it's coming from, but I see nothing. I would only go back for him and my mom. “Plea
Ruby’s POV“Can I go meet them?” I can't hide my joy. I am still in Owen's arms, of course. He doesn't want to let me go. It's the second time I have seen him this scared. I am lucky to have a mate like him, I just nothing comes in between us for sure. “Of course, I am sure they will be so glad to meet you. You have really been through a lot Ruby.” He says placing me on the arm chair in front of my dressing mirror. "But it was worth it isn't it baby." I say feeling too ecstatic. "Yes it really was. Now I have my Ruby all to myself." He says smiling."Very selfish demon." I smile. my body still aches but with him by my side, all is well. He picks up my wet wipes from my dressing table wipes his hands clean before , wiping my face slowly, then he applies some moisturiser to my face and a lip gloss. "Perfect." He smiles. I can get used to this treatment. "Thank you." I say. He then scoops me in his arms again and starts to walk downstairs. My heart is racing too fast, do they look l
Owen’s POVIt has been a week since my Ruby went through the separation, she finally recovered though, it took longer than usual since she doesn't have her wolf. At first, she was devastated about losing Roxs but saw it as a compensation to her sister for being the one who had to be existing for all the years. Ruby beats herself up for nothing always, it wasn't her fault that she was lucky to live her life. But all I have to do is to be by her side always and make sure she is fine emotionally and mentally. I swore to always make her happy. I love her too much to seeing her suffer. I will give everything to maintain her happiness. So tonight we are taking our mates out for a proper dinner date. We went all out fancy, Damien brought his limousine, we got all dressed up in tuxedos. it's like our first date ever so it has to be perfect. The three of us had to get along since we had no choice. Now we are standing outside waiting for our charming mates. I feel so giddy and so emotional
Owen’s POV We reserved the whole restaurant for ourselves, I didn't want us being interrupted by the pack members, but we took different tables for privacy. I just didn’t want to be distracted by the others, I want to look at my Ruby all night long. Her beautiful face all made up, her long lashes, her cherry lips, her perfect voice. And her eyes on me, I even regret why I planned dinner, I would have planned a gate away instead. I could be lying on a bed somewhere naked right now beside her. I take out the seat for her, before taking my own. “Thank you, handsome.” She winks when I sit opposite her, did she hear my thoughts, because the smile she has on is somehow mischievous? “I didn't know my baby was a gentleman.” She says, smiling even wider, I don’t think she heard me. Her eyes are so full of life now, she is radiant. I am just overwhelmed by relief too, at least now I can mark her and make her my wife. My wife! It sounds so wonderful. Over the years I have dated uncountabl
Rashel’s POV“How could you, Pearl, how could you poison our sister.” I ask, tears falling uncontrollably out of my eyes. Will I ever see her again? I didn’t even thank her for how she helped us exist. I didn’t have enough time to bond with her. Why are bad things always happening to her?I don't blame her for anything because we were babies by then, she didn't choose this. “I hate Ruby, okay, and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.” Pearl says." Ruby this, Ruby that, does it always have to be her?" "You are an animal, I curse the day I met you, Pearl.” Hurt, Damien says, walking away.“Don’t go, my love.” She tries to beg him, she is just too evil, her face is just not remorseful at all. “Don’t touch me, okay, and I don’t need you as my mate again. I wish I never met you.” Damien says again in anger, I just hope he doesn't reject her because of this. Despite being the way she is, she is still my sister and wouldn't wish for her to feel the pain of rejection. “You still love her,
Owen's POV I stand in front of Ruby’s grave, which is decorated beautifully with roses. It has been fifty years since she left us. It was devastating, it's her death anniversary today. Basically, I almost come here everyday, it's where I feel at peace. I'm sure she is with Damien now in another world. I envy him truly, immortality is just a curse. The only consolation I have is my three girls who are all grown now, they are all immortal and out and about living their lives. So, basically, I'm living all alone in this boring world. We merged our realms, but it was fun only when Ruby was with us. I don't want to complain though, we had the best lives together. I sit beside her grave just reminiscing, my memories with her are what I cherish the most now. I miss her every single moment, I don't know how long it will take for me to accept that I don't have her anymore. I don't see her anymore in my dreams, and it upsets me so much. I don't know how but I fall asleep leaning on
Ruby’s POV I'm old and grey now, Rowan and Owen are still glowing, they haven't aged a day in all these years we have been married. Damien is old now too just like me, us wolves we take longer to age, but we eventually do. “Baby I've been calling you.” Owen interrupts my thoughts as I'm sitting at the pouch admiring the sunset. He stands behind me, leans a bit and hugs me from behind. He kisses my saggy cheeks. I pull away, I don't feel confident anymore, it could have been better if we had aged together. “Are you alright baby.” He asks coming in front of me, he kneels on one knee and takes my hand in his. “I'm fine, Owen.” I simply say. “Please tell me what's bothering you, my angel.” He asks, his ruby eyes staring deep into my soul. He almost brings me to tears, I can clearly see the love he has for me in his eyes. It has never faded in fact, it increased with time. My old heart swells in sadness because anytime now I might leave them. I feel so bad, I regret not reco
Ruby’s POV Someone is knocking at the door, it definitely isn't Möbius, he knows the way in because he is one who locked it. I slowly walk to the door, “who is it.” I ask not daring to unlock it. “Can you open the door from the inside, I already unlocked it?” A mans voice echoes from outside. Part of me is happy that someone might help me, but the other part is terrified. “I'm afraid of Möbius, he has my kids.” I say. "plus I don't know who you are." I add. “No he doesn't, your mates already took your children so you don't need to worry they are safe now.” the man says. “Are you sure, please don't lie to me.” I beg, what if its someone Möbius sent to spy on me, what if he kills my children the moment I open the door. The thought of my children being harmed makes me stand rooted on the ground. I can't risk it, I take small steps backwards, and finally, I take a seat on the couch. “Young lady why aren't you opening?” The voice asks. “I'm sorry, I can't, I'm afraid.”
Ruby's POV “My babies.” We appear inside a fully furnished baby room, it has three cribs and everything a baby needs. it's obvious he planned all this before. My babies are lying in the cribs sleeping, I run and kneel before them. They are healthy, oh, thank goddess. “See Ruby, I didn't hurt them. I even made this room just for them, I wanted us to live here together.” He says. I try to ignore his comment, now that my babies are here with me. “Be with me, Ruby, I swear I will treat you like a queen.” He adds. What am I going to do now, I don't even know where I am, I am not that strong I can't even defeat him. “It's enough now they are sleeping now come with me so that you can see your new home.” He says, grabbing me before even waiting for me to get up on my own. He is truly a psycho. I try so hard not to lose my temper. He grabs my hand, escorting me outside the babies room. The door opens up to a tiny and dark corridor. Which in turn leads us to a spacious living r
Ruby's POV We meet Zama right at the entrance of the hospital, I feel so strange being back here considering this is where Möbius kidnapped me at first. “Zama, you?” I ask, what is she doing here, did she come to help me, but how did she know? I almost run towards her, despite all I miss her so much. “Zama you are here.” I say part of me is glad to see her. I almost smile but her expression doesn't look too pleased to see me. “Yes me, b***h, did you think it's the last you saw of me when you confronted me?” She says in a disgusted tone. "I'm back, I only went away to become stronger." I think I thought wrong, she didn't come here for me. But why does she treat me like an enemy. “Did you see Möbius here?” I ask, I hope she tells me. “Of course, I helped him.” She grins. “What? Help to kidnap my children and kill my nannies.” I ask just to make sure. “Yap, I did that my friend.” She stresses the last word with air quotes. "How did you feel when you didn't find them
Ruby’s POV “Finally we have you all to ourselves now.” Owen hugs me from behind as I am taking a breather after feeding the triplets. They are sleeping so soundly now, I have birth to three beautiful girls; Asher, Andy and Asia. They are fraternal though and they don't share a father. By the goddess blessings, I was able to conceive from each of them. Its like a miracle, its almost impossible but it happened. “We hired nannies for you baby, but you still tire yourself.” Damien says taking my hand and leading me to the couch. My body is exhausted, wolf or not, taking care of babies is a lot of work. Ever since I gave birth I started seeing my mom in a different light. I respect her even more now. It's not easy, it needs dedication. My body feels sore and my eyes puffy. My triplets are ten months old now and they are adorable. It's been hard creating time for my mates buy they have been really understanding. I collapse in Rowan's arms, “I'm exhausted.” I say closing my eyes.
Third person’s POV “Baby stop, you might fall.” Owen yells at Ruby who is running upstairs, he can read her thoughts so well, and he is already turned on. He tried so hard to stop himself when she was having her shower. She wanted him too, but was too tired. “Catch me if you can.” Ruby responds giggling. Damien and Rowan are the first to start the stairs, but Owen can't wait any longer, he teleports near Ruby and scoops her onto his arms. “That's cheating.” Damien yells. “Catch us if you can.” And he teleports to the master bedroom on the bed. Ruby is under him, her breathing labored because whatever just happened made her really wet, it was really hot. It made her want them even more. “I want you, baby.” She says, “I want all of you.” She adds, her gaze narrowing. “Oh you are so hot Ruby, why do you make my heart beat so fast.” He asks teasing her lips, buying time to wait for Rowan and Damien because if he starts he wouldn't be able to let her go. “I love you so
Third person’s POV Damien, Rowan, and Owen take turns looking after Ruby. All this while preparing for the surprise they all made for her. After accepting their proposal, they had to give her a present. It was so challenging to think of a perfect gift so they consulted Ruby's mom. Ruby wasn't materialistic, so a thoughtful gift would do the trick. They first had to hide the fact that Ruby was missing from her mother. They could breathe when they finally found her, and now all they wanted was to make her happy each passing day. Owen and Rowan realized that they had limited time with Ruby, they were immortal, but Ruby wasn't. And that meant one day they would part ways for the good. The thought terrified them, and they were envious of Damien since he would age and finally spend enternity with Ruby in the afterlife if there was any. Owen wished that they could make Ruby immortal, and only Rowan had the capability. But it depends solely on Ruby. He prayed that she agrees. He didn
Owens POV “He helped me.” Ruby refers to the guy she called Alfie. Despite being grateful, I feel so jealous that I can't look at him twice. Have we crossed paths with this guy before? I feel so enraged that we weren't the ones who came to her rescue. All in all, I'm still grateful. “I’m so sorry, Ruby. I didn’t mean for you to get hurt like that.” Möbius’ voice brings me back to reality. Before I can say a word, Damien and Rowan corner him by grabbing both his arms. “Take his bracelet off.” I shout knowing he can teleport before getting the punishment he deserves. Immediately Damien takes it off neutralizing his powers. All he can do now is fight fair and square, and I'm sure Rowan and Damien can take him. I don’t want to put Ruby down , I'm afraid something might happen to her again , but I also want to deal with this bastard of a brother. “Don’t worry we will take care of him.” Rowan states as if he has been reading my mind. Out of nowhere a whirlwind appears cau
