RUTH’S POV"Stay away from my mate, Lycan!" Vincent growls, his eyes blazing with anger. Before he can take another step closer, within a second Michael appeared in his front, his eyes flashing with a warning. "You dare to threaten me?" he snarls, his voice low and threatening.I gasp as Michael grabs Vincent by the neck and slams his back against the wall. My heart races as I watch, frozen in terror, as the two powerful males face off against each other. Vincent's feet dangle in the air, his eyes bulging as he struggles to break free. But Michael's grip is unyielding, his strength felt strong as he holds him in place.Without thinking, I leap out of bed and rush to them, my hand reaching out to touch Micheal’s arm. The gesture seems to soothe him, and he slowly lowers Vincent to the ground. But the tension between them is far from dissipated. They stand there, chests heaving, eyes locked in a fierce stare-down."You're no match for me, Vincent," Michael sneers, his voice dripping wit
Michael's POV:I stormed into Vincent's office, my anger boiling over. "Who do you think you are, attacking my mate?" I demanded, my voice low and threatening.Vincent's eyes widened, and he took a step back, his fist clenched. "I don't know what you're talking about, Michael.""Don't play dumb, Vincent. Gabriel told me everything. I want to know why that girl attacked Ruth, and I want her punished. Now."Vincent's expression changed from anger to fear, and he nodded hastily. "I'll find out, Michael. I promise."I turned to leave, my mind racing with thoughts of Ruth and the pain she had endured. I couldn't shake off the image of her battered and bruised, her spirit broken. But I knew she was a fighter, and that thought made me smile.I decided to distract myself with work, but my mind kept wandering back to Ruth. I couldn't concentrate, and finally, I gave up and picked up my phone to call my aunt, Michelle.As soon as she answered, I knew I was in for a lively conversation. "Hello,
RUTH POVChapter 10I sat upright on my bed, and I saw Michael beside me, but at that moment, I'm in a deep trance, consumed by thoughts of worthlessness and the desire to end my life. My wolf whispers words of encouragement, reminding me that Michael loves us, but I'm hesitant to believe it. How can someone love me in just a few days? I argue with my wolf, but she persists, urging me to give Michael a chance. I reluctantly agree, deciding to tell him that I need time for the love bond to grow.Suddenly, the moon goddess appears before me. This is my first time seeing her, though people say she appears only when she has a message for you and for great powers. She looks so beautiful, she is as bright as the moon.“My child I watched all your pains and read your mind, I allowed all these to happen to you because I'm preparing for a greater journey ahead and be careful of the choices you make Ruth,” She said calmly. I'm confused, wondering what challenges she could be referring to and
Sandra's POVI came out of my Ferrari with my black eyeglasses,all eyes on me, as I put my purse under my armpit and shut the door of my car. Shadow pack's territory came into view,as I took my glasses off, my eyes scanning the surroundings. I spotted a few pack members lounging in the sun and made my way towards them. "Hey, I'm looking for Ruth," I said, using Michael's description to identify her.I noticed the male and female are staring at me, ofcourse, they will. I am a Lycan princess, Lycan are superior wolves, we are strong and dangerous, graceful and even more beautiful than other supernatural beings.One of the ladies said she knows Ruth and she said nasty things about her. I slapped her, leaving her crying as her cheek turned red immediately, but I don't care, why would she say such things about Ruth. I don't think they know she is the future queen of king Lycan? I found another gentleman, who pointed at her, but what I found triggered my anger. A woman was about to slap he
Ruth's POVI think Sandra loves shopping, I'm so tired my legs hurts. I love her, she is free, kind and gorgeous.“I thought we're going back to the pack, my legs hurt already Sandra,” I say, maybe she might change her mind.She just gives me a smile, as she packs at Fendi stores. I have no choice but to follow her into the store and this is my first time here.“Here, Ruth,” Sandra gave me a set of lingerie…it's red, and they are beautiful.. I have never worn it before.She winks, and I hide my face from her.”Those will look good on you,” I just put it in the basket and continue looking around.They have all kinds of lingerie for females and inner wears for male of different colors, shapes and sizes.We go to another lingerie store to get a particular design, it has less light, and my eyes are fixed on the wild toys. I pick one from the shelf and look at it. I don't find them attractive. I bump into a man. I almost lost my balance and fell, but he caught me. I look up at him. He is an
Ruth's POVMichael steeze is killing, I can't help but admire him with a deep smile as he approaches. I didn't know when I said the words, “Why are you this cute?” He blushed and his sister chuckles, I smile sheepishly.“Oh my little Princess,come give me a hug,” Michael says, as he gives his sister a tight hug. “I have missed you Micheal, it seems Ruth wants to finally take you away from me,” she chuckles. We all laugh out loud.He comes closer to me, my heart begins to race fast, “oh baby, I have missed you the whole day,” he says using his both hands to hold my head, looking into my eyes and giving me a kiss on my forehead and then hugging me.I became the center of attraction, the pack members around us were watching us as we hugged . I begin to feel uncomfortable.I saw my parents as they passed by, but they ignored me like I never existed. I tried to mind-link my mum, “mother? Mother! Mother!”It sounds strange. It's been years since I called her that, but she didn't respond. Wh
Ruth's POV I took a sip of water, my eyes fixed on Michael's determined face. The tension in the room was high, and I could feel the pack's fear and respect for their king and princess. I was shocked by Sandra's outburst, but deep down, I knew she was defending me.As we finished dinner, Michael announced, "We have a meeting with the council tomorrow. We'll discuss the recent attacks on our borders." His eyes locked onto mine, and I nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation.As we left the dining room, I felt a sense of unease. The pack members' glares and whispers followed us, and I knew I was the reason for their discontent. Michael's grip on my hand tightened, as if sensing my anxiety.In his room, he drew me close, his eyes burning with intensity. "Ruth, I want you to know that I'll always protect you, no matter what. You're my queen, and I won't let anyone harm you."I smiled, feeling a surge of love for him. "I know, Michael. I trust you."But as we settled into bed, I
MICHEAL’S POVRuth's body trembles with fear, her cries echoing through the room as she thrashes about in her sleep. I attempt to hold her, but she bucks against my grip, her limbs shaking with a violent intensity that leaves me struggling to hold her down.Babe, babe,” I whisper urgently, shaking her gently. Her eyes snap open, and she flings her arms around me, clinging to me like a lifeline. I cradle her tenderly, my gaze flicking to Sandra and Gabriel, their faces etched with worry. She pulls back, her tears soaking my chest, and I brush them away with my thumbs.“Hey, are you okay?” Sandra asks, her voice laced with concern. Ruth nods, her voice barely audible. “Just a bad dream. I’m so sorry.” I sigh, relief washing over me, and pull her onto my lap, wrapping my arms around her waist. She melts into my embrace, her body relaxing as I hold her close."Do you have nightmares?” Gabriel asks, his voice soft with concern. Ruth's eyes well up, but she quickly looks away, she tries avo
Ruth's POV I watched Rachel grow, her curiosity and energy filled my heart with joy. She'd chase after butterflies, laugh at the simplest things and snuggle into our arms for comfort. Michael's eyes meet mine, and we'd exchange loving glances, grateful for our little family.One sunny afternoon, as we strolled through the pack's gardens, Rachel pointed at Sandra and Davidson, hand in hand. "Momma, look! Uncle Davidson and Aunt Sandra are happy."I smiled, remembering their journey. "Yes, sweetie, love conquers all."Rachel's eyes sparkled. "I want love like theirs, Momma."Michael chuckled, scooping Rachel into his arms. "You'll find your own path, little one. We'll guide you."I wrapped my arms around them, feeling our bond. "We'll always be here for you, Rachel."Vincent, Davidson's brother, approached, his expression warm. "Queen Ruth, I've come to discuss a potential alliance with the Moonlight Pack."I nodded, intrigued. "Let's discuss the details, Vincent."As we walked, Rachel
Ruth's POV I gazed lovingly at my daughter, Rachel, cradled in my arms. Seven months of pregnancy had flown by, and now, as I held my little miracle, I felt an overwhelming sense of love and responsibility. Michael, my mate, sat beside me, his eyes shining with adoration as he stroked Rachel's tiny hand. "You're an amazing mother, Ruth. Our daughter is lucky to have you." Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes. I vowed to create a better future for Rachel, one free from the pain and abandonment I'd faced. My thoughts drifted to my own childhood, and the complicated relationships with my parents. Dad's words, spoken on my wedding day, echoed in my mind: "If you hurt my daughter, I'll tie you to a tree and cut your balls." His gruff demeanor hid a deep love, but the past still lingered. Forgiveness was a journey, not a destination. I'd begun to understand, but the scars remained. As I looked at Rachel, I knew I'd do anything to protect her. My love for Michael and our daugh
I was talking to Gabriel, Sandra and Davidson when I saw Vincent. I gasp and smile at him, he bows to me and kisses my check politely. “Congratulations, Mrs Micheal,” he says. “Thank you, how are you?” He didn’t answer and I change the topic, making my heart ache for him. After talking to the Alpha, my mate circles his arms around my waist and pulls me to the dance floor where he twirls me and kisses my lips deeply, our tongues fight for control and it makes the crowd react with cheers and howls. Soft music plays and we dance to it. I listen to the lyrics of the song and smile, it says, When I thought I’ve lost you, see how fate brought us together, I promise never to let you go my love.” After we dance to almost all the songs, there is a Fireworks display and people clap once again , excited. Our wedding makes them so happy and even now that I’m looking at the people dance and how much joy they display it makes me feel more happier, I have a smile on my lips, a delightfully shiv
Sandra’s povI could hear the thumping of my heart, his delicious scent enveloped me, I missed him a lot. He was away for weeks so we couldn’t be together and I’m glad to see him. He wraps his arms around my waist.“I miss you,” he breathes, I caress his face and he takes me to his car. Davidson drives us to his penthouse in the city and the drive is silent. He is drinking his whiskey directly from the bottle while I watch the beautiful scenery of the city. This part of the city was meant to be part of the royal pack but my brother made it neutral ground when he took over as a king, a place where Lycans from the different packs can be without any kind of violence.We reach the building and go straight to his lavish apartment, it's neat as I remember with white and gray furniture. His apartment has four bedrooms, a huge living area, stylish kitchen he doesn’t use except when I’m here since he cooks for me as I don’t know how, a study room, a minibar, an indoor gym, and a pool.I go to

Ruth’s Pov My mate lifts me in his arms, and I hold him closer, I felt a sense of guilt after seeing all the bruises on Cynthia’s body but she deserves it because she has no regards for me. Medical personnel take her on a stretcher, her injuries are fatal and it will take her months to get in shape but the Alpha’s daughter glares at me.“I’m so proud of you baby,” whispers my mate. He puts me down and I wrap my arms around him, burying my face in his chest and inhaling his rain scent that calms me.So many high-ranking members come to congratulate me and pay their respect, after the crowd disperses, Davidson comes to us and my mate groans, I hold him tighter. “I knew you could do it and you didn’t even tap into your abilities,” he says, how does he know about my abilities? The Lycans on my side seem surprised except for Micheal, Gabriel and Sandra.“Get out,” growls the Lycan beta.“We are on neutral soil, you have no rights to make orders here, beta,” snickers the handsome man with
Ruth’s POV “You’ll regret coming into our lives, today, I’ll show you and everyone that you are not a strong queen, they need someone like me and not you. I will humiliate before the pack, you this loner,” Cynthia sneers, I waited for her to finish with her insults, they didn’t even reduce my confidence, my wolf was also confident that we’ll win. We surrounded each other, assessing us an d it was she who threw the first punch. I didn’t see the punch coming and the punch landed on my face, and quickly she gave me another at the other cheek, the crowd was already buzzing with excitement.“Micheal will be mine one i kill you,” my body was shaking in anger immediately she made that statement.My canine extended, however, this was my fight, not just my wolf, so I pulled her back from behind, I threw a hard punch on her face immediately and she takes some steps back, i don't wait for her to regard her composure, i kick her again in the gut this time and she staggers a few meters from me.W
Ruth’s POV Micheal cups my face and puts his head over mine.“Are you sure about this?” He is worried. I smile to assure him that I can do this. “Don’t worry about me, I am a warrior in my pack,remember?”“Cynthia may not look it but she’s a strong lycan,” He sighs. I put my hand on his shoulder to give him more assurance but his body goes rigid and I catch his scent, Davidson is here. We turn to the huge entrance and indeed, the aloha of the northern pack is walking towards us with a smile on his lips, next to him is a tall handsome man with tanned skin and nice blue eyes, however, his warm gaze is on Sandra. I sense the tension between them.“What are you going to do here?” Growls my mate, holding me possessively to him. Davidson smiles and his gaze roams over me before answering my mate.“I came here to watch the lovely Cythnia Marcus fight… Hello, my princess,” he says to me and I swallow thickly. Micheal is confused, looking between the two of us.“You know each other?”
Ruth’s POVI’m not scared of you,” she stutters. I smirk and lean close to her.“I don’t give a fuck,” Cynthia slowly stands up, she is a prideful woman and hates to accept defeat but I am her queen, even her lycan could recognize that. My mistake was to turn my back on her, Cynthia jumps on me and digs her sharp claws into my flesh. I let out a howl and immediately hear my mate’s voice comes through the mind link, asking if I was okay.“I’m fine baby, I just need to put this bitch in her place, call you later babe,” I close off the mind link and take a deep breath, I turn around with so much strength and throw Cynthia from my sight, she flies to the other side of the room, and reached the ground with a thud. Customers scream and scatter at the violence they witnessed.“You bitch how dare you lay your dirty hands on me,” I growl, my body shaking as I advance toward the Alpha’s daughter.Cynthia gets off the ground and pounces at me but I am fast to attack her. I punched her in the fac
