Note: This is book 2 of Her Triple Alpha’s Revenge. You can read as standalone but it will spoil parts of book 1. Ruby POV"Ruuuuby!" My mother's voice pierced the air for the tenth time this morning, her frustration practically shaking the walls. You'd think being ten minutes late was some kind of world-ending crisis."I'm coming, I'm coming!" I yelled back, rolling my eyes as I put the finishing touches on my pixie cut with a single purple streak in the front. Short black hair wasn't just a style; it was a statement, and you couldn't just walk out looking like a mess. "She thinks the King and Queen actually care what she looks like," my step-sister hissed to the other two harpies. They weren't really my sisters; none of us were blood-related, but surviving near death together apparently made us family. Or so the world thought. The world was wrong.My three "sisters" were inseparable, a trio of toxic clones. Me? I was the outlier. The weird one with purple eyes and hands that occas
Sebastian POV"Good! That's what I like to see." My trainer clapped me on the back, ignoring the blood dripping from my mouth. I had just finished my last battle, the final test to prove myself as Alpha, and I couldn't wait to leave this place behind. I didn't exactly want to go home; too much pressure and uncertainty awaited me there, but after a year of nonstop fighting, I was done.As the future Alpha of not just my pack but all the lands of the North and South, I was expected to be strong, fearsome, and dominant. But I didn't feel any of that. Sure, I was built like a beast, just like my fathers, but my soul was all my mother's. I hated fighting, cried when my people were hurt, and even got physically ill when I had to yell at someone. Pathetic, right? Not exactly the qualities of an Alpha or a man.My parents showered me with love and attention, my siblings clung to me like I was some kind of rock star, and my pack looked to me as their fearless leader. I had to be all those thin
Ruby POVI was so happy Sebastian was finally home. I cried for days when he first left, even though I acted like it was nothing big when saying goodbye to him. It was hard for me to show my feelings completely. Most of my life, people feared me and even tried to harm me. Sebastian was the only one who looked at me like I wasn't some freak. "You look like a slut." Shelia walked into my room in a yellow frilly dress."You look like a damn bumble bee. What are you trying to attract, honey or a man?" I rolled my eyes at her, my hands pushing up my tiny breast in a dark purple dress I wore. My boobs were so small I barely had anything to show off."At least I don't need to stuff my bra to look like a woman." Shelia puffed her chest out, her large knockers nearly bursting from her dress. She was actually very pretty, but she dressed ridiculously, and that voice of hers was like nails on a chalkboard. Five minutes alone with her and the boys went running. "Whatever! Get out, loser." I sho
Sebastian POV"You excited, sweetie?" My mom pinched my cheek, and I sighed. I was a mama's boy at heart, but Luna Kiera could be a bit much. I don't think she realized I grew past eight years old. Despite being twice her size, she still treated me like a child."Yes, of course. This is my pack and home." I gave her a smile, hiding the weight of what the night would bring. Not only was I being celebrated with the intention of soon taking over our pack as Alpha, but tonight, I also planned to tell Ruby the truth.I was in love with her, desperately and wholeheartedly. In all my nightmares, there was one constant, one shred of hope and goodness: Ruby. She would always appear at my darkest moment. When I had given up on myself, relinquishing my soul to the evil that lived within me, Ruby would appear. At first, she was just a child, a little girl with red bows in her long black hair. She would speak to me so innocently, forcing me to realize who I truly was. She gave me the courage to f
Ruby POVThe grand celebration in the North was, as always, a spectacular affair under Luna Kiera's meticulous care. She spared no expense and had a knack for keeping the crowd entertained. Light flurries of snow added a magical touch to the fading sun, music floated through the air, kids raced across the frozen lake, and families reveled in the many games and booths. It was like a carnival, complete with an ice rink, food trucks, hot chocolate, and laughter echoing everywhere.For the first hour, Sebastian and I raced around the grounds, competing fiercely in everything from milk jug toss to cornhole. He looked dashing in his black suit, with a dark purple handkerchief that matched my dress. He always made these small gesture to remind me I wasn't alone. Sebastian was the best friend anyone could ask for, but he was also the future King, and duty inevitably called.As the evening wore on, he made his way around the grounds, greeting and chatting with families. Meanwhile, I spent the
Sebastian POVThe night started out like a dream. Ruby and I ran around the elaborate party my mom had thrown in my honor, but my focus was entirely on her. I wanted nothing more than to spend time with my soulmate.When I showed her my purple tie and handkerchief, she melted right before me. I knew how hard it was for Ruby to feel accepted and that she appreciated how I always showed her she was never alone. I just hoped that tonight, I could show how much I loved her. Eventually, my dads came to drag me away, reminding me I wasn't just some kid at a party. I had obligations to my people, people who came out to celebrate my return. I knew it was wrong to ignore them all night, so I reluctantly left Ruby's side. "Meet me at midnight by the Mirror Lake. I have to tell you something important, ok?" My eyes pleaded to her. The way her purple iris shined into mine was mesmerizing."Okay," she replied, looking at me curiously. "Everything okay?""Yeah, it's good, really good. I'm just gl
Gabe POVI cursed myself the whole journey to the North for bumping into that little minx. I knew the moment I caught her scent, she was mine, but I didn't want her. I was here for one reason: one person. I left my home and grueling days of torture and deceit to complete my true destiny. First, I needed to kill the Queen. That bitch had it coming for the scraps she threw our way while her pack bathed in glory. The houses these people lived in were ridiculously beautiful. Beds of colorful flowers, bright paint on the siding, smooth roads to play on. It was sickening comparing all this to what little we were given.Then, I needed to find my true other half, the one who would complete my soul and grant us the power to rule this world as it was meant to be ruled.But the moment I arrived in the North, her scent hit me again, sending my wolf into a frenzy. I was at some elaborate, frivolous celebration for their so-called prince. A prince in a land of werewolves? What a joke. We were Alph
Ruby POVFor hours, I sobbed alone in the shadows of a random alley, the cold seeping into my bones as despair wrapped around my heart. I felt utterly lost, terrified, more alone than I'd ever been. How could this have happened? I had been marked by a bastard Alpha, a cruel, unfeeling man who wanted nothing more than to use me. My soul was now bound to someone who had no intention of loving me, no desire to cherish the bond we were cursed to share. How could I have been so foolish?In a daze, driven by desperation, I found myself running toward Mirror Lake, the one place that still held a shred of comfort for me. Sebastian had asked me to meet him there at midnight. I was unsure of the time but held onto a sliver of hope that he would come. I needed him now more than ever. He was my best friend, the future King; he could force Gabe to reject me, couldn't he? But as I paced the snow-covered ground, the minutes felt like hours, and the hope I clung to began to crumble.Scarlet whined in
Gabe POVI ran through the woods, chasing my wife's scent, the moon high in the sky guiding me toward her. I knew exactly where she was heading. It was almost time, but first, a little fun.I shifted into Ragnar, letting my wolf take over, his paws pounding the earth as we hunted. It had been three days since I last touched her, and apart from the quickie Sebastian and I just had, I haven't felt a release in too long. I was saving everything for tonight, and the anticipation was driving me wild.Ragnar halted as we reached the hill overlooking the lake. Ruby stood there, barefoot in a small white dress, her head slightly turned, already sensing me. She giggled, sliding one strap off her shoulder, teasing me as she undressed.I heard footsteps and growls approaching, Sebastian was closing in. Ragnar lifted his head to the moon, praying and cursing Lupa to make this night something other than the nightmare we feared. As I howled into the sky, I made a silent vow: if they took my mate fr
Sebastian POVAfter our wedding, everyone gathered in the center of town for a grand celebration, honoring not only our union but also Ruby's birthday. Each street was decorated with a different theme: one for the wedding, another for a baby shower, one for Ruby's birthday, and finally, a street celebrating the world's next Alphas and Luna.I wasn't sure if my mom had planned it all to get the celebrations out of the way, fearing Ruby might not survive the night. Or if maybe she was worried about herself. Over the past week, my mom had aged drastically, her hair had turned grey, and her skin had become fragile. Losing Athena had taken a heavy toll on her body, and I could see the fear in my fathers' eyes that they might lose her sooner than expected."She'll be here for a long time. Have faith," Ruby's soft voice came from behind me as she wrapped her arms around my waist."Yeah, I'm trying." I turned and pulled her into my arms, leaning down to steal a kiss. She had lost her heels an
Ruby POVI did it! Somehow, I had everything I ever wanted. I looked over at my family; my mom, held by my dad as she cried, my two sisters, with whom I was just beginning to form a real relationship, and Sheila, who somehow felt more like a twin to me. Her mate had finally returned, after walking through war and hell to find her, and now, he held her tightly in his arms. We shared a brief glance, a silent understanding that the one thing we all needed was love. Whether it came from a lover, a friend, or family, it didn't matter. We just needed to feel connected, to belong. And now, we had that."We will always do right by you, Ruby," Sebastian vowed, drawing my focus back to where I stood with my two mates. We had an entire world ahead of us, but right here, in this moment, they were all I needed."We will always protect and defend our Luna," Gabe added, his voice strong and certain."We will love and cherish every moment you're by our side," Sebastian continued."And we will fulfill
Gabe POVI stood before the Southern Pack, with members of my own pack mixed in among the crowd below. My nerves were on edge as the weight of my new reality crashed down on me. I was about to become Alpha of them all. For so long, I thought my purpose was to break the world and rebuild it alongside my father, Dietus. But I had been wrong.I was meant to rebuild, yes, but not through destruction. My mother was gone. Lupa and Dietus were gone. The past no longer held me down. Now, it was just me, a man in love with two incredible people, ready to embrace the new life we would make together.To my surprise, every pack member seemed to rejoice for us. They were welcoming of our union, and accepting of the shared Alpha role Sebastian and I planned to take. It had never been done before, two Alphas, mates, leading together, but we were one soul divided at birth, and now we would spend eternity as a whole."We hope you all join us for the celebrations," I concluded my speech, taking Sebasti
Ruby POVI couldn't believe I was awake and alive. My hands roamed over my Alphas that squished my small body between them. I really thought I was dying last night, but then it hit me. I was in a crazy, painful heat because they had marked each other. I never wanted to feel that pain again, but I had to admit it was worth it. I felt them so much more connected now, and we had amazing sex. 'Take them again.' Scarlet begged.'We have to get home. No more sex until after our wedding Scarlet.' I said, gently lifting from the bed. Sebastian moved over and pulled Gabe into his arms. Scarlet and I both whined looking over them.'Why deny ourselves all that?' She purred, watching our Alpha's hands roam all over the other's body. 'They will wake up super horny, and once they see the marks they left on me, it will drive them crazy. Last night was too close of a call. If they mark me before the full moon it all falls apart.''You don't know that.' Scarlet whined as I dressed quickly, sneaking
Sebastian POV"That was the best sex I ever had. I think that was better than knotting." I wiped the sweat from my forehead as Ruby completely passed out in Gabe's arms."She wears out quickly." He chuckled, picking her up to bring to the bathroom. I heard the bath running and chuckled as I looked down at my dick. "How are you hard again?" I asked. There was no pleasing him. I stomped my way to the bathroom, watching Gabe gently wash Ruby's body in a warm bath. His fingers played with her breast, right over my mark. I loved claiming that body and I think even after I mark her on her neck, I'll still bite the shit out of her."Stand up!" I ordered him."What?" He laughed looking behind me. "Oh! I see." He stood slowly, hands running over his body to tease me. "Bend over right there and take my dick like a good Alpha." I demanded, jerking off as I watched both my mates."I knew we would have a long night." Gabe chuckled, hands grabbing the side of the tub as he wiggled that ass to me
Ruby POV"Ruby? What's wrong!" Gabe shouted at me, barreling through the door and scooping me right in his arms. I crawled into a tight ball in his lap, the pain inside me ten folds, but slowly embedding away with his touch."Don't let me go." I pleaded. "Please, don't let me go.""What's wrong with her?" Sebastian was at my side, brushing my hair from my face when something burst inside me. "We shouldn't had left her alone!" Gabe growled at Sebastian. "We are so sorry, Ruby. We won't ever leave you again." Sebastian had so much worry in his eyes. "We should mark her! We fucked up by marking each other and now she is in some weird heat that is killing her." Gabe looked to Sebastian and I glanced at his neck. A purr rumbled through me as I glanced at Sebastian, a mark clearly printed there. They did it! They were one. "Just shut up and fuck me! Both of you!" I yelled at them, grabbing Sebastian chest and pushing him on his back. "Gabe! Get behind me. Fuck me, fill me, and do it fa
Ruby POVI watched my two men walk out in the moonlight, hand in hand as they headed to the top of the hill. It was where we spent our first night in the wasteland, scared and unsure of each other. I don't know why exactly, but it felt like the perfect place to begin our life together. I would always be apart of the North and South, but I knew right here was my home. "You will need rest, momma." One of the birds said."Please stop calling me that." I whined to them. It was ridiculous to be a mom to hundreds of birds. I was a werewolf and should probably want to eat them, not raise them."If it bothers you that much we could call Ummi." "That sounds weird. What does it mean?" I asked them."Mom, but in an ancient language." I rolled my eyes at them and headed to our people to say goodnight. They were technically Gabe's people, but we would all be marked soon, and I hoped they were accepting of us all.Almost a hundred of little huts were erected just a mile west of the stone house I
Sebastian POVA surge of energy blasted around us, the wind swirling, thickening and forming thoughts, dreams, visions."What's happening?" Gabe asked, pulling me closer for comfort and protection.Magic pulsed around us, stories of the past; dragons, gods, goddesses, and humans played before our eyes. Then we saw the other Ruby, her innocent eyes finding this version of me, how we bonded and I marked her. I thought it was a dream back then. I had no idea I actually marked anthor version of her. "Is that... and her..." Gabe stuttered but I played dumb, waiting for the vision to shift. We saw Gabe's past, my past, and Ruby's. How everything built up over centuries to bring us to this moment. Then scenes of torture and war in our future, then love and a new way of life, lastly, a world without Ruby until it all faded."What the fuck was that?" I said looking around. It was like a wind storm of thoughts just ravaged the area, but now it all seemed untouched."Memories, possibilities?" G
