Her Double Trouble: My Alpha and My Mate Ch. 21 - Not What I thought
Gabe POVI pressed on, taking advantage of this alone time I had with the Queen. I needed information, a way to help Sebastian, but I had no idea where to start. "I know you've built walls, shutting out everyone you deemed unworthy, keeping only those who you felt deserved your protection," I said, letting the bitterness slip into my voice. Her gaze sharpened, "Those worthy?" she echoed, a hint of challenge in her tone."I was born outside your walls, in the South," I replied, my voice steady despite the rage she was giving me. "During one of your raids, your soldiers took me to an orphanage, claiming it was for my safety. I've seen both worlds, inside and outside your so-called protection, Luna. It's cruel to decide who lives and who suffers, as you do." I completely lied about my origins but it was a believable story and got my point across."Most are grateful for the walls," she retorted, her voice tight. "I don't recall a single soul speaking ill of them.""Who would dare tell a

Ruby POV"You want to attend my school? Do you have a death wish?" The head chancellor's voice sliced through the air like a blade, her gaze piercing me as though she were staring at a creature with three heads."No, ma'am. Quite the opposite," I replied, my voice steady despite the thundering pulse in my ears. "I know I may appear as just a low-status werewolf, but there's more to me. Things I don't fully understand, things I can't even begin to explain." My words were a plea, a desperate grasp to uncover who I truly am.Her lips twisted into a sneer. "This is a school for witches. We don't tolerate your kind here. Were it not for the Queen's decree, you'd be dead the moment you stepped foot on these grounds, just like the witchweres." My breath hitched, and my eyes widened in shock. They kill people for being different? How could such cruelty be so casually accepted? "I... I'm not sure what I am, but I need help," I admitted, my voice trembling with the weight of my uncertainty."T

Sebastian POVI spent hours watching ridiculous romcoms with Sheila, both of us lying on my bed. She cuddled against my side while my mind spun in a million directions. I needed a plan, something real and definite to rid my soul of whatever Dietus had bound me with. The taste of Gabe's blood still lingered on my tongue, though I hadn't even made him bleed. Still, I knew how exhilarating it would be to consume his heart, to feel all his power coursing through my veins.My stomach rumbled, and Sheila giggled into my side, her hand sliding over my bare chest and distracting me with other thoughts. "Are you hungry, Alpha?" she purred.I was definitely hungry, and for more than one thing. But I was too wound up to act on it. "Fucking starving," I growled. My body craved food, sex, and the literal heart of a man I'd just met."Why don't I warm us up some dinner?" She sat up, looking at me sweetly."You want to make me food?" I smirked, liking the idea of her serving me. There were a few thi

Sebastian POVI woke well past sunrise with a headache I never knew could hurt so badly. My muscles ached, and my whole body felt sore. Werewolves rarely got sick, and when we did, it was usually something foreign and deadly.I clenched my jaw, thinking about how my life had become such a disaster. A cold shower did little to suppress the emotions and pain coursing through me. The last few days had been a whirlwind, everything unraveling so quickly I hadn't had a chance to breathe. I wanted nothing more than to run from it all, exactly what I'd been doing with Sheila. I craved a distraction, anything to take away the immense pressure inside me. That turned out to be a major mistake.But I was only eighteen, clueless about how to deal with a fight, let alone some ominous god. I always felt this darkness, this strange bloodlust deep inside, especially after long, horrid nights filled with dreams of killing everyone I loved. I spent years pushing those thoughts away, burying them deep. N

Gabe POVI poured over book after book in the library, my mind a chaotic mess of conflicting emotions. The relentless itch to find my mate clashed with an equally intense desire to protect my Alpha, leaving me torn and unsettled. My entire purpose had been flipped upside down, and I didn't know what to do.I was still pissed at Dietus for lying to me since I was a boy. He was just like my mother and everyone else I grew up with, always manipulating, always pulling strings. But what could I do against a god? I was just so tired of the manipulations, so tired of being everyone's puppet.Now, my strings were being pulled by Ruby and Sebastian. Yet, this time, it didn't feel like an overwhelming burden. There was something different about the loyalty I felt toward them, something almost...right. But the fear that they could turn on me, just like everyone else had, gnawed at the edges of my thoughts. Ruby wouldn't hesitate to kill me, she'd already tried once. I smirked, remembering how he

Ruby POVTwo weeks had crawled by in this wretched place, each day darker and more suffocating than the last. The once smooth canvas of my face now bore a deep, angry scar, a constant reminder of my reckless power. My eyebrows were nothing but a memory, singed off in an explosive burst of magic I could barely control. I looked hideous, a twisted, ruined version of myself, and the sight of it churned my stomach."We should leave," Hailey's voice was soft, yet urgent, as she watched me snarl at my reflection in the cracked mirror, my hands trembling at the edges of the sink."Leave?" I snapped, bitterness lacing every word. "I've barely learned anything, Hailey.""You don't belong here, Ruby. I'm genuinely scared for your life," she replied, her eyes tracing the jagged line across my face with a mixture of fear and pity.I gritted my teeth, forcing myself to stare at the disfigured reflection. "Actually, I did learn something." My voice dropped to a low, dangerous whisper. "I'm more pow

Gabe POVDay after day, Sebastian and I met in the library, sifting through countless tales that claimed to hold the truth. The deeper we delved, the more tangled the stories became, each one contradicting the next, leaving us unsure of what to believe. It felt like trying to piece together a puzzle where none of the pieces fit quite right.Sebastian often left to spend time with his sisters, and occasionally, he invited me along. At first, I felt out of place, intruding on their family moments. But as the days dragged on, and the mate bond continued to gnaw at my soul, I realized I needed more than just books to fill the void Ruby's absence left behind. Over a week had passed, and still, there was no word from her.The tension in the palace was palpable. I overheard the Queen and Ruby's mother arguing about her well-being, with Luna Kiera insisting that Ruby wasn't ready to be on her own. She coddled Ruby the same way she did Sebastian, convinced that neither could survive without he

Sebastian POVThe cold northern wind whipped through the trees, sending a chill through the stone house where I paced restlessly. Each creak of the wooden floor echoed louder in my ears, underscoring my parents' disapproval."Sebastian, you're being reckless," my father's voice boomed, sharp with authority. "The North is safe as long as we're together."My mother's tone was softer, but just as firm. "You don't understand what you're asking. It's not just about you. Think of us, we can't lose you."Frustration simmered beneath my skin. Their fears were valid, but their insistence on keeping me safe was suffocating. I needed to find Ruby. I had to confront the darkness haunting me, and I couldn't do that by staying in the North."I have to go," I said, my voice edged with desperation. "I've seen the future, and it's not just some nightmare. It's real. I have to stop it."Kiera's voice broke through, pleading. "Sebastian, please. Just give me some time. Grandpa is working on something. T

Her Double Trouble: My Alpha and My Mate Ch. 126 - Tension
Gabe POVSebastian was ridiculous.We'd been stuck on that boat together for almost two weeks, and he was acting like it meant nothing. He barely acknowledged what happened, sweeping it under the rug as if those hot, tangled nights didn't shift something deep between us. I was pissed at him, but Ruby was back, and I couldn't stop smiling.Except it didn't feel like the three of us anymore. There was a cloud of doubt and anger Sebastian was driving between us, and it was unnerving. He was so arrogant, so righteous.The tension was thick as we traveled overland, pressing in on us until it felt like it would snap. We bickered about everything: whether my shortcut through the trees was actually a shortcut, or why Sebastian couldn't just follow my lead without a snide comment."You don't even know where you're going," Sebastian snapped, shouldering past me to take the front. His voice was sharp, but I caught the exhaustion under it."I don't have to know where I'm going. I'm trusting my gu

Her Double Trouble: My Alpha and My Mate Ch. 124 - Explosive Confusion
Sebastian POVThe sand crunched under our boots as we stepped onto the shore. The island was almost too perfect, like something out of a dream, with golden mountains in the distance and a faint glow in the air that made everything shimmer. The wind carried a strange, intoxicating scent, like flowers mixed with something ancient and magical.I was still on edge, pacing the beach while Gabe rummaged through the supplies we found in a small, abandoned shack near the edge of the jungle. I couldn't stop thinking about Ruby, the need to find her clawing at me."You're pacing again," Gabe's voice called out from behind me. "You're gonna wear a hole in the sand.""Shut up," I snapped, spinning around to face him. He was grinning, of course, like this was all a game. "We shouldn't even be here. You know damn well we don't have time for this."Gabe stood up, brushing sand off his pants, his teasing expression faltering for a second. "Sebastian, we're doing everything we can. You need to take a
Her Double Trouble: My Alpha and My Mate Ch. 123 - Lies
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. I
Her Double Trouble: My Alpha and My Mate Ch. 122 - What I Need
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
Her Double Trouble: My Alpha and My Mate Ch. 121 - Control
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'
Her Double Trouble: My Alpha and My Mate Ch. 120 - Without Her
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,
Her Double Trouble: My Alpha and My Mate Ch. 118 - Into the Depths
Ruby POVThe cold water swallowed me whole, rushing over my head as the weight of the ocean dragged me deeper and deeper into its black void. 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
