Ch. 66 - Brink of Death

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-22 12:04:33

Ruby POV

I had no idea how much time had passed; my mind moved in and out of consciousness, my body flaming with pain, then freezing in despair. Gabe's rejection was brutal, unwavering, and relentless inside me. I understood why many took their lives to relieve themselves of this constant torture.

But I had Sebastian, the one constant good in my life. He held me often, whispered sweet nothings in my ear, poured his Alpha aura into me. My body needed him, my soul begging for the medicine he offered.

When I woke, alone and achy, I missed his touch as much as Gabe's. I tried bathing in ice, but it did little to relieve the pressure inside me. I needed a reprieve, and there was only one who could offer it.

I don't know what came over me, but the second I caught Sebastian's scent, he was all I could think of. His body to mine, his seed inside me; I needed him as mine. I knew it was wrong, manipulative, and cruel, but I had to use him. I had to have him before my body completely shut down.

    Gabe POVLeaving the ruins of my homeland, I felt an odd sense of ease. The betrayal, the ashes of everything I once knew, it was all behind me now. My mother's dark plans were crumbling, and with the bag of gold crystal dust strapped to my back, I had the means to end this once and for all. It wasn't a flawless plan, but it didn't have to be. I'd make it work.I accepted that I'd probably never be with Ruby again. She was lost to me. I knew that. Our bond severed the moment I let her go. But that didn't mean I'd give up on saving her. I couldn't.The wasteland stretched before me like a graveyard. The earth cracked, dying patches of green fighting to survive. My pack trailed behind, moving like shadows. Lost. Silent. Finally, I stopped and turned. "Why are you still following me?"One of them, his face as empty as the land, answered, "To protect our Alpha. We're at your service."My service, I thought bitterly. As if I wasn't unraveling myself, bit by bit."Did Hailey order you to f

    Sebastian POV"Are you sure about this?" My voice was tight, holding onto Ruby's hand like it was the last solid thing in a world full of chaos. She lay strapped to a long wooden table, her body tense but her gaze steady."Yes, Sebastian. I have to try. It's not just about having both eyes again, although that should be enough. There's magic in it, magic Katherine wanted. I need it back as part of me." Her one visible eye glistened with unshed tears, the red cloth still wound tightly around the other.I shook my head, the anxiety gnawing at me. "We need to get home, Ruby. We need to be at full strength. For all we know, this fog could've spread to the South, past the wall my parents thought would keep us safe.""And we will. If I get too weak, your magical dick will revive me." She winked with her one eye, smirking, but the crude joke barely registered through the knot of dread in my chest.That night. The night we finally became "one" in this timeline... it didn't feel like the momen

    Ruby POVI paced the floor of the small bedroom we had been staying in the last week. The room felt suffocating, every inch of it weighed down by the heavy silence that had crept in over the last week. I paced back and forth, the floorboards beneath my feet groaning like they were mocking my frustration. This place, it reeked of torment. Even the air seemed haunted by the memories of everything that had happened here. And yet, somehow, that wasn't even our biggest problem.Two days ago, when I finally came to after Gabe's rejection, Sebastian had shown me what this town had become. The dark fog that lingered at the edges of the streets wasn't just some natural phenomenon, it was alive, pulsing with an energy I could feel under my skin. A part of me craved it, like it could fill the hollow spaces inside me, but I couldn't take it in. My magic was weak, severed along with my eye. Whether it was Gabe's rejection or losing a part of myself, I couldn't say, but the weakness left me despera

    Sebastian POVI stormed out of her room, heading straight for the bar, desperate for as much liquor as my body could hold. I almost did it again, the one thing I swore I would never do. But this time... oh this time, I used my compulsion to force her to beg me. It was vile how far my inner wolf would push for submission. Goddess, the way she submitted though, how she begged for me to claim her was so damn tempting. The memory of her submission twisted something deep inside me. The way she pleaded to be claimed was intoxicating, a temptation I couldn't shake.How could I think of her like that? I didn't care that she had no choice; I craved her completely, vulnerable and on her knees before me, begging to be owned. "I thought you'd be on cloud nine now that Ruby is healed," Sylvia said, sliding another shot of the most vile drink I'd ever tasted across the bar. I needed that burn, something to quiet the wolf within me demanding total control."Yeah, I am," I muttered. But I hadn't ev

    Ruby POVI was done with that so-called Alpha. How he pitied me, mocked me. Yes, I was an omega, craving his command over me, but so what? That was how it worked. He was my Alpha, and I was his omega. I was tired of being labeled a freak or a weak little wolf simply for feeling the way I was programmed to. If Sebastian hated that, then maybe it was best he released me from his pack. Maybe then the ache in my soul to seek out Gabe and the pull of my heart to claim Sebastian would finally rest, leaving me free to be truly on my own.The rage from Sebastian's rejection fueled me, guiding my anger and pain. I knew I was becoming bitter, and honestly, I didn't care anymore. There was no right or wrong way to feel; just simply how I felt. Right now, I felt murderous, especially towards my insensitive best friend."What are you doing?" Sebastian asked, stepping beside me. I stood at the edge of the town, eyes closed, mind at ease. I could feel the magic around me, humming like a quiet song,

    Sebastian POVRuby was magnificent, a beauty that people will speak of for generations. The way her body glistened with magic, her eyes sparkled with hope. It was like she transformed right before my eyes. "That was exhausting." She sighed, plopping on the bed. We spent the entire day chasing away the dark and it was exhausting, but more fulfilling than anything I've ever done before."That was exhilarating. It felt like I've been here for months trying to push back the darkness, and in one swift moment you just erased it.""Yeah, I did." She sat up, looking over my glum expression. I was truly impressed by her. "I guess that means I'm better than you." She stood and walked towards me. That sassy attitude on a mission to torment me, but I welcomed it."I wouldn't say better, maybe close to equal." I mocked."Equal? I don't think so, little wolf." She teased. "Kane is a chump compared to Scarlet and now we both know it." 'Mark her!' Kane suddenly roared inside me. He was jumping arou

My lips tugged at her hard nipples, my canines scraping her delicate skin, while my hands helped my hips fuck her so passionately. It was all too overwhelming. I had to have her."Goddess!" Ruby's voice circled around me, her orgasm ripping through her and I bit down, my teeth sinking right through her soft flesh, claiming her left breast just as my dick exploded like a bomb of betrayal inside her. I wanted to kill my wolf, but the pleasure inside me was too great to ignore. I held her close to me, my hard dick buried deep inside her and I filled her, one burst after the other of my cum releasing from me and into her. I forced my teeth further in her breast, my tongue lapping the blood dripping over her nipple. Every part of her tasted divine."You like a damn vampire, Sebastian." Ruby said breathlessly.

Was I really just an Alpha to satisfy her heat? I know the sex between us wasn't something of epic love, not like I thought we would be, but it was still something amazing. She even said she never orgasmed so hard before.I watched her sleep peacefully in bed. Not a worry on her beautiful face. Then she began calling for Gabe again. My heart sank as she twisted and turned in the sheets. No matter how great we could be together, she would always want him.I packed our things, gritting my teeth every time his name slipped from her lips. She was dreaming of him.

    Sebastian POVSomething ignited inside me, a fire, a volcano, a damn storm of lust and desire. The first whiff of Ruby's arousal sent me into overdrive, then the next had my head spinning and dick painfully hard. I had to claim her! Nothing else matter. I turned to Gabe, his body rock hard including that dick of his, and I had to claim him too. "Mine!" I howled in need, grabbing his shoulder and spinning him to me."What are you doing?" Gabe growled at me.A dark banging pounded in my head, a voice, a need demanding to be free. My eyes drifted to his chest. His bare, delicious chest, right where that strong heart beat."You're giving me that look again." Gabe tried to take a step back, but I pulled him to my body. I felt every hard ridge of his muscles to mine. His thick cock pressed against my thigh and all I wanted was to taste him."I want you." I darkly chuckled, an ominous tone laced in my words."You want to fuck me, or eat my heart? I'm honestly a little unsure right now." His

    Ruby POVJust when it seemed like our deaths were seconds away, something small, tiny even, waddled out of the light, a little bird-like creature, no taller than a foot or two, with beady eyes and a curious tilt to its head.For a moment, none of us said anything. Then I let out a small laugh. "It's... cute?" The little bird with large webbed feet and soft fur was adorable. I wanted to hug it.Sebastian stared at it, blinking. "That can't be what made the shadow. It's... it's a baby duck... or something."Gabe squinted at the little thing. "It's not cute. It's... annoying." He nudged Sebastian with his elbow. "Should I kick it? Like a football? I think I could get some good distance."I rolled my eyes, but before I could respond, the tiny creature wink at us, like actually winked. The he opened it's little beak and a massive fireball erupted from its mouth, filling the cave with a blinding, fiery light."How is something so cute so evil." I shouted, leaping behind a rock as another fi

    Gabe POVThe smile on my face wouldn't quit, no matter how much I tried to suppress it. Spending hours tangled up with my mates last night had been... well, pretty damn satisfying. I felt invincible, like I could walk on water, maybe even fly if I tried. Whatever was next? I was ready.Sebastian and Ruby, though? Not so much. They were quiet as we wandered through the massive cave, both of them avoiding eye contact. I could feel the weight of what was gnawing at them, the "kids" conversation still fresh in their minds. It didn't matter much to me. Sure, as an Alpha, there was that whole primal drive to spread your seed, build a pack, but if I'm being honest, I didn't really care either way. Having a kid? No clue what to do with one. Maybe we could knock Ruby up a few times and let Sebastian handle the child-rearing. I'd be fine with that as long as I got my mates in bed at least once a day. Everything else, I'm game for whatever."There's something there," Ruby said, pointing to a sm

    Ruby POVI laid on the floor for a while, Gabe arms completely wrapped around me and I watched Sebastian make a small fire. He seemed determined in his task, a mask of confidence to hide the emotions stirring within him."I know you're awake, little girl." He teased me, setting a stick with three fish over the small fire."So what if I am? Can I not admire my mate?" I smiled at him, his eyes twinkling at that one word that meant a thousand things."You can." He lightly chuckled, the sadness and confusion that riddle his body lifting.I stood, grabbing the thin blanket to wrap around me. "Are you happy, Sebastian?" I said, walking to him. I needed to be closer. I needed to feel him. Instinctively, he sat back on the rock and opened his large legs. I sat on his thigh, curling into his lap."Of course I'm happy, midget." His arms engulfed me and I felt like I was in the safest place in the world. "I have you." He whispered with a kiss over my hair."I worry this might fall apart. You, us

    Gabe POVI had no idea who I was anymore, and honestly, I didn't care. I had her, my fated, here beside me and I had him, my Alpha. I spent my whole life devoted to Dietus, his little servant willing to do anything he asked and it turned out he only wanted me dead. Ruby was the first person I ever felt anything real for, and then Sebastian came out of nowhere. One minute I was plotting to be his best friend only to destroy his family, and the next, I was finding myself unable to leave his side. The first night we were all together something changed inside me. Watching him with her didn't just satisfy me, it made me jealous in a way too. I wanted him to want me the way he wanted her, to love me how he loved her. I spent my whole life alone and used. That was over now and I wasn't losing either of them. I wasn't holding back or questioning why, I was just going to live. Being with them, both of them, made me feel complete."Sleep Gabe." Sebastian hard voice hit my ears and I buried m

    Sebastian POVRuby sat backwards on my hard cock while Gabe positioned himself between my legs and forced himself inside her pussy. I could see them, both of them above me. Ruby's black pixie hair and Gabe's shaggy brown with those dark sexy eyes directly on me. He started moving, slow and deliberate. Ruby's little ass swayed over my dick, making my eyes roll back within seconds. This was amazing, so fucking fantastic to finally have her in my arms, even if it was with him."She's perfect for us." I heard Gabe whisper. "She's our perfect little omega." His voice was full of bliss as he rocked her faster and faster over me. Ruby was a mess, screaming and clawing at Gabe."She's our perfect Luna." I snarled, my eyes locked onto him. He looked incredibly handsome, his hard body fucking our little mate on top of me."Outside the bedroom, she's our Luna." Gabe moved her head to the side, kissing and sucking on her neck. My eyes heated, Kane coming forward as we watched him devour her. "He

Gabe was behind me, my heart pounding in my chest. "I only want us to admit what we are all feeling." His hands slid under my shirt, lifting it from my body. The cold cave air mixed with hints of warmth from the fire licked my skin."Gabe, leave it." Sebastian growled at him. Their eyes were locked into each other, a silent war between them. "Leave what? I'm missing something." I looked between them, confused and exhausted."You'll figure it out." Gabe had removed his shirt and began sliding off his pants. "Are you serious? Right here?" My eyes were glued to his hard, toned body. That delicious six pack and defined Adonis belt of his. "Dead serious. Undress Alpha." Gabe winked at Sebastian. I shot another looked between them, the explosive tension had completely disappeared, something so much more potent rising between us."She

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.
