last update Last Updated: 2024-10-18 19:45:09

Ruby POV

"Why are you here?" I shouted at Gabe. I couldn't process any of this. He was best friends with Sebastian now? And Sebastian was hanging on Sheila's every word? What was happening?

"You seem tense?" Gabe looked amusingly at me. Did he think ruining my life was a joke?

"Tense! Tense!" Magic was swirling inside me. I wanted to burn his face off.

Sebastian and Gabe both jumped to me, but Gabe was closer. His hands cupped my cheeks. "Calm down!" He ordered me, and I felt his compulsion wash over my nerves, soothing me in a dark and forbidden way. This wasn't right.

"We should give them some space. Want to play some hoops?" Sebastian offered Sheila, and my jaw dropped. She's never touched a ball in her life or worked up a sweat. There was no way she would play...

"Love too. Uh, I should probably change first." Sheila smiled at him. His eyes raked over her body, lust building in his eyes. What the fuck!

"How? What?" I stuttered, but they paid me no attention as they walked upstairs

    Gabe POVI spent all morning chumming up to my soon-to-be best friend, and I was actually enjoying myself. Sebastian was so easy to manipulate that I found it quite amusing. Back home, it was everyone for themselves. There was no such thing as friends, just allies that you watched your back around.Sebastian lived in this giant castle-like home. I had never seen anything like it with my own eyes before. I remember coming across a few children's books that spoke of fairytale lands like this, but I never knew they existed. My mom refused to allow me to indulge in any kind of fantasy. She warned me about the dangers of getting too comfortable as well as this cursed fated bond. It was some magical spell a stupid goddess cast on us long ago. It weakened an Alpha to submit to his mate's desire but also gave him more power. I didn't think I would feel much different marking an omega, but Ruby proved to be much more than I expected. Her magic was something pure, coursing through my veins li

    Sebastian POVWatching Sheila struggle to dribble the ball was anything but cute. I tried giving her a few pointers, and though she acted eager to learn, she clearly had zero interest in playing any sport."I should probably head inside. I need to meet my parents anyway," I said after an hour of her fumbling around the court."Oh, yeah, sure," she replied, looking away, disappointed. I didn't know what to say to her. She was just too girly."Okay, see you around." I gave her a small smile and headed inside, feeling awkward around girls like her."Oh, mom! What are you doing?" I asked suspiciously as I found her staring out the window like she'd been watching us the whole time."What are you doing with that girl?" she demanded, her wolf clearly on edge."Just playing some basketball. Well, she tried at least." I chuckled, thinking about how horrible it was, though it did keep my mind off Ruby for a while."I mean, what are you doing with her?" She emphasized each word, her anger rising

    Ruby POVThe mirror reflected a girl I barely recognized, with hollow eyes and lips trembling with guilt. I had given in to Gabe again, letting him touch me, letting the bond do its wicked work. It was only a matter of time before I'd do anything for him, like a puppet on his strings. The fate bond that bound us felt like shackles around my soul, controlling my every desire.I glanced back down at the old, leather-bound book Grandpa Seb had given me. It was filled with spells and charms, including the one he used to hide my mark and suppress the call of my mate. My hands shook with determination as I pored over the pages. The spell was intricate but manageable. I needed to gather the ingredients and practice the incantation, just in case I had to strengthen it. The thought of facing Gabe again, of losing control, filled me with self-loathing.As I sat on the edge of my bed, the door swung open with a brisk knock. Sheila strutted in, her face alight with anticipation. "Guess what, Ruby

    Sebastian POVThe clinic's sterile scent did nothing to calm the storm inside me. Doctor Hazel, a tall man with sharp features and a no-nonsense demeanor, examined me in silence. His fingers probed with a precision that felt more unsettling than comforting. My parents hovered nearby, their anxiety palpable, but no one spoke.Finally, Doctor Hazel pulled back, his brow furrowed. "You're physically fine, Sebastian," he said, though the tension in his voice suggested otherwise. "But I need you to monitor any changes closely. If something feels off, come back here immediately."His words hung in the room like a dark cloud. I nodded, but deep down, I knew something was already wrong. I just couldn't put it into words. The unease had been growing for days, a sense that something beyond my control was slipping through the cracks."Are you sure?" River growled at the old man, his voice laced with suspicion. I shook my head at how easily they all lost control. I didn't want to be like them, ru

    Sebastian POVWhen I returned home, the silence of the house only deepened my agitation. I stormed through the rooms, my anger boiling over, until I reached my bedroom. There, lying on my bed, was Sheila, casually munching on popcorn.I stared at her, my emotions in turmoil. "What are you doing here?"Sheila's smile faltered, fear creeping into her eyes. "I thought we had a date?"I had forgotten I'd invited her. My mind was too tangled with the oracles' message and the guilt over what I did to Ruby. I sat heavily on the edge of the bed, burying my face in my hands. The weight of the darkness, the secrets, and the burden of my parents' choices felt like they were crushing me.As Sheila continued to eat her popcorn, seemingly oblivious to my mental breakdown, I lay down to rest my eyes."Do you want me to put on a movie?" she asked awkwardly."I don't care," I muttered, clenching my jaw as I tried to let sleep overtake me. I needed an escape from my whirlwind of thoughts."Ok, um, I'll

The fear hit me like a punch to the gut, something had happened to her. I could feel her sadness, sharper and more intense than before, and it gnawed at me.As I stumbled into the bathroom to wash my face, my eye caught an envelope shoved under the door. My heart pounded as I tore it open, dread tightening around my chest. Did someone take her? Was she being held ransom? Did they discover why I was truly here?I read her short message, and rage surged through me like wildfire. How dare she abandon me? It shouldn't even be possible. She was an omega, marked by me, her Alpha, her mate. My entire life, I had been taught that our status held power, that those of higher ranks dominated those beneath them. This fate bond was supposed to be unbreakable, a force binding our souls together. But now, as her defiance burned in my hands,

    Sebastian POVAfter my long night with Sheila, I was thrumming with energy. I hadn't slept a wink, but it didn't matter. Kane was on edge, and my body felt stronger, almost euphoric. Who would've thought that something as simple as sex could be such a potent distraction?But the moment I entered the kitchen, that fleeting sense of satisfaction crumbled. My stomach twisted with worry, the anger over losing Ruby clawing its way back to the surface. My parents' failure to protect me stoked a fire in my mind, a rage that threatened to consume everything. I needed answers, and somehow, I had to erase the one person I'd relied on my whole life. But how could I? How could I ignore the fact that I couldn't even bear to look at Ruby's face or the crushing weight of the destiny my parents had shackled me with?"Sebs!"

    Sebastian POVJust as I was about to strike, take what was mine, a flash of light pierced through the darkness. It was blinding, searing through the shadows like a knife. I recoiled, instinctively shielding my eyes, only to realize that the light was emanating from within me. My hands flickered with white sparks, just like Ruby's magic when she was frightened or agitated."No!" Dietus's voice roared, filled with fury and desperation. "That damned witch betrayed me again!" His voice dwindled, seething with promises of vengeance against Lupa.The light grew brighter, pushing back the last remnants of the dark fog, sealing the hole with my magic. I could feel the tension in my body easing as Kane's influence was forced to retreat, his rage still simmering but no longer in control.Gabe seized the moment, scrambling to his feet and backing away from me, his eyes wild with fear and confusion.Suddenly, the three oracles appeared in their spectral forms, a chilling reminder of the gravity o

    Sebastian POVI stood there, my chest still heaving, heart pounding from what had just happened with Gabe. My head was a damn mess. One minute, I was imagining Ruby, our mate, the one I craved more than air, and the next... Gabe's mouth was on me, and it wasn't just some accidental slip. It was intense, primal. It felt good. Too good.But did I really want him? I rubbed the back of my neck, the mark from Ruby tingling like it always did, reminding me of what we had to focus on. I could still taste her on my lips, still feel the rush of being with her, but my body was tangled up in something else. Gabe. What the hell was that? I wasn't into men. I wasn't into him.He was just there, right? Filling in the space, the need. That had to be it. My need for Ruby had to be leaking over to him. That's all it was.I stormed from the dinner table, showering long and hard to wash away his scent on my cock, but it didn't matter. I had the images seared in my brain, the pleasure alive in my soul.

    Sebastian POVWatching Gabe was so damn sexy. I didn't want to admit how it turned me on the same way watching Ruby did. Ruby was my mate though, she was the only one I wanted. But she wasn't here, she was lost. We had to find her, but this damn mark on my neck was sending endorphins and desires through me. I needed to mate, to empty my seed and fill a hole.I fucked Gabe's mouth with everything I had. My hand ripping at his hair, dick impaling that wide throat until I burst again, filling him completely with so much cum. He was right, I was going to rut if I didn't let this all out. "Stand," I ordered then point to the chair. "Sit right there and jerk off."I took a seat in front of him, watching his hard delicious dick. I never thought about a man in this way before, but I did want him. I wanted to taste him, feel him. I sat there for a while, my hand playing with my cock as I watched him get off."Let me help, Alpha. We need more." Gabe teased me. I wanted to cave, to bend him ove

    Gabe POVI just finished dinner, setting the food on the table and arranging it in a beautiful display in hopes to sway my Alpha to eat, but I knew he needed something else."You need to learn control, Alpha." I spoke softly, carefully, stepping closer to the untamed beast. Sebastian stood in the cabin, maps scattered around him as he watched the calm seas sway below us. He was losing his mind, a need to have his mate consuming him. "Gabe, get away from me!" He warned."No! I need you, she needs you." I insisted. "She's gone!" He roared out. "No, she isn't." I moved behind him, my fingers dancing along his neck, were her marked laid. "She is our mate and we can feel her. Ruby is alive, and we will find her.""I'm going fucking crazy. We have to find her. I have to have her." He growled at me, a heavy burden clear on his shoulders."You're a tangled mess, Alpha." I sighed, grabbing his hand to follow me. "You need to eat and you need a release. Well, you need your mate, but she isn'

    Gabe POVFor days, we searched. We scoured the ship, flipped through ancient books, anything that could tell us what the hell had taken her. But we found nothing. And in that time, I watched Sebastian spiral. He wasn't eating. He wasn't sleeping. The darkness inside him crept closer with every hour Ruby was missing. I'd seen him like this before, on the verge of losing control, but this time felt different. This time, there was no pulling him back without her.I tried talking to him, over and over. "We'll get her back," I said, my voice breaking the silence one afternoon as we sat in the cabin, the maps spread uselessly across the table. "We just need to keep searching."He sat there, his jaw clenched so tight I thought it might snap. "What if we don't?" he muttered darkly, his eyes hollow. "What if she's already gone?""She's not," I insisted. "We'd feel it, both of us. She's alive, Sebastian.""You don't know that." His voice cracked, the first sign of weakness I'd seen in days. "Wh

    Sebastian POV"Sebastian," a sweet, innocent voice called from the darkness, soft and familiar. "Sebastian," it beckoned again, and the frantic beating of my heart slowed. Warmth spread through me like a soothing balm, a brief escape from the chaos inside."Ruby! Where are you? Come to me, please," I begged, my voice breaking."I'm right here, silly." Her hand touched my face, gentle, soft, and it sent a surge of energy through me. Pure, unfiltered love coursed through my veins, and the world blurred into focus. There she was. My beautiful Ruby with long black hair, a red ribbon, and those mesmerizing brown eyes."I miss you." The words came out as a whisper, heavy with a desperation that clawed at my insides. I pulled her close, kissing her with all the longing I'd buried since she was torn from me."I've missed you too, my love," she whispered against my lips. I kept my eyes closed, not daring to open them, terrified this moment would slip away like all the others. I knew the truth,

My chest burned as saltwater filled my lungs, choking me with a sharp, unbearable sting. Panic flared wild and uncontrollably like a beast in my chest. The creature's tail coiled tighter around my waist, its slick, scaly skin sliding against mine, unyielding in its inhuman strength.I thrashed harder, my arms flailing in the thick, freezing water, but it was no use. The world above, the ship, the sky, my mates, they all faded into the distance, swallowed by the ocean's endless maw. Darkness pressed in from every side, the pressure increasing with every second, crushing me from all angles.This can't be happening. Not now. Not after everything.Images of Sebastian flooded my mind. His green eyes, the way they softened when he looked at me, that fierce love I finally saw within them. His touch, his kiss, the way his body felt against mine. And Gab

    Gabe POVI watched her sleep, her body tangled in the sheets between Sebastian and me. The boat rocked gently beneath us, a small comfort in an otherwise restless world. Ruby had this way of pulling all the light into one place, like nothing outside her existed. It was just the three of us; her, me, and Sebastian. My chest tightened at the sight of her, calm and safe for now. I never thought I'd be in this place, willing to share her with another man, but with him... it made sense. Sebastian wasn't just anyone. He was my Alpha, and we both needed her in ways that defied reason.Sebastian stirred next to her, his arm draped possessively over her waist, his face softened for once, like the storm inside him had quieted. But I knew it wouldn't last. It never did.Suddenly, a noise cut through the peace, a screeching sound from the deck. I bolted upright, instinct taking over. "Did you hear that?" I whispered, though neither of them budged. My body was already moving before my brain caught

Sebastian said he always loved me, and Gabe was right there, in tune to us both, wanting us all together. I turned to stretched and realized I was completely naked under the sheets, and it wasn't Gabe beside me but Sebastian. I blinked rapidly, sure something was wrong. What did I do? Where was Gabe?"Good morning." Sebastian smiled with eyes closed, hand coming to my back to sooth my achy skin."What did we do?" I whispered in fear. Did Sebastian and I slept together? Did we hurt Gabe? Last night could had not been what I dreamed. No way did my Alphas take me together, agree to share me between them."It's impossible you don't remember." Sebastian opened his eyes to me, bright green with no hint of darkness with in them."I'm not sure. I.. no, it couldn't have happened liked I remembered." I shook

    Sebastian POV I don't know how we ended fucking Ruby like some tag team beasts, but we did, and it felt euphoric. I didn't care that Gabe was there, actually enjoyed watching as he took her body too. He was aggressive and brutal in bed, owning the space and her body. He fucked her like a horny little rabbit, and it felt amazing on my dick. I wanted more it, all it, all of us. I glanced at Ruby, her beautiful face soft and innocent asleep in peace. The way Ruby completely passed out made me so satisfied. We wore her out, satisfied her with three amazing orgasms and I felt each one on my hard dick. I needed that, and I needed to fill her. I was so damn horny for her it was driving me insane. Then Gabe started cleaning my dick, his large hand making me harder than I already was. I wanted Ruby all night, but she was sound asleep beside me. "Close your eyes." He demanded of me a second time and I don't know why, but I obeyed. I could resist him, but I was so wound up I didn't want to.
