SANDRA's POVI stood outside the entrance of John's pack, my heart racing with anticipation. I had to find Ruth and convince her to come back to Michael. Maybe then, my brother would finally approve of my relationship with Edison.I took a deep breath and stepped inside, scanning the area for any sign of John. That's when I saw him, running towards me with a look of desperation on his face."Sandra, thank goodness you're here," he exclaimed, grasping my arms. "I've been searching everywhere for Ruth. Do you know where she is?"I hesitated, taken aback by his intensity. "Actually, John, I came here to talk to you about Ruth. I want to convince her to come back home."John's face fell, his eyes clouding over with confusion. "What do you mean? She's not here. She left a few days ago, and I've been searching all over Japan for her."My heart skipped a beat. What? That wasn't what I was expecting. "Oh no, I had no idea," I stammered. "I hope she hasn't gone to...you know...Vincent's pack."
Vincent's POVSandra and John exchanged a wary glance, but I could tell they knew they needed my help. I was the only one who knew these woods well enough to track Ruth down."Fine," Sandra said finally. "But if we find her, you have to promise to stay back. We don't know what kind of state she's in."I nodded, my heart racing with anticipation. "I promise. I just want to make sure she's safe."John nodded, and together the three of us set off, following the scent of Ruth through the forest.As we walked, I couldn't help but think about what Rebecca had said. Was I still in love with Ruth? I didn't know. All I knew was that I had to find her.The sun began to set, casting long shadows across the forest floor. I could feel the tension building between us, the air thick with unspoken words.Suddenly, Sandra stopped, her head cocked to the side. "Do you hear that?" she whispered.I listened, and soon I heard it too - the sound of running water, and something else. A faint rustling, like
Sandra's POVI trudged back to the pack, my heart heavy with disappointment. We had lost all hope of finding Ruth, and I desperately needed her back. She was the only one who could help me convince my brother to approve my relationship with Edison.As I walked to my apartment, I noticed some omegas staring at my scars. I tried to ignore them, but their whispers followed me. I saw Michael approaching and attempted to avoid him, but he caught up to me."Ruth!" he called out, his voice loud and urgent. I walked towards him, trying to cover my scars with a veil. "What are you hiding?" he asked, his eyes filled with curiosity.I hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. "It's nothing, Michael," I said slowly. But he wouldn't let it go. "Let me see for myself," he said, pulling off the veil.I stood in shock, unprepared for his reaction. "Oh my goodness, what happened to you, Sandra? Who did this to you?" he asked, his face etched with shock and concern.I stammered, trying to explain. "I we
Ruth's POVAfter eavesdropping on John and his mate's conversation, she threatened to leave him unless he chased me out of his pack. I couldn't be the reason for their relationship problems, so I teleported myself out of John's pack without his notice. John had been kind to me since I joined him, treating me like a friend and caring deeply for me.I teleported back to school, having missed a semester and needing to repeat all my courses. But I didn't mind; I was determined to do my best. As I walked into the school campus, my friends were amazed to see me again after a few months. Emily and Sarah approached me, concerned."Hey, Ruth! Where have you been?" they asked."Sarah said you know you have a lot to catch up on," Emily added."I know, guys," I replied. "But I need my job back, and I'm sorry about what happened last time. Michael found out about my last job, which you guys helped me find, and I almost put you in trouble." I said remorsefully."It's fine, babe," Sarah said friendl
Michael's POV:I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Ruth walk into the coffee shop. I had been searching for her everywhere, and finally, I had found her. I could feel my heart racing with excitement and anger. Why was she avoiding me? Didn't she know how much I loved her?As I approached her, I could see the fear in her eyes. She knew I wasn't going to give up on her. I needed to talk to her, to make her understand that I wasn't going to let her go without a fight."Ruth, we need to talk," I said, my voice low and commanding. I could see her friends watching us, but I didn't care. This was between Ruth and me.She sighed and followed me out of the coffee shop. I could feel her hesitation, but I knew she needed to hear what I had to say."Ruth, why are you avoiding me?" I asked, my voice firm but gentle. "We need to talk about ourselves, about what happened. I know I made mistakes, but I love you. I want to make it right."Ruth looked at me, her eyes searching. I could see the uncert
I stepped out of my car and drive into university campus, and I glanced through the crowds for a glimpse of Ruth. Sandra had told me she was here, and I had to see it for myself. I had to know why she'd left the pack without a word.I walked through the hallway, I noticed a group of students gathered around a bulletin board, admiring a flyer for an art exhibition. My eyes fixed on a painting that seemed out of place among the others - a beautiful, haunting piece that seemed to capture the essence of the forest. I felt a pang of recognition, and my heart skipped a beat as I realized it was Ruth's work.I followed the signs to her dormitory, my mind racing with questions. Why had she left? What I s she doing here? And why was she still hiding from me?I knocked on the door, and a moment later, Ruth opened it, looking hesitant. "John," she said, her voice barely above a whisper."Ruth," I replied, trying to keep my tone neutral. "Can I come in?"She stepped aside, and I entered her small
Vincent POVI paced back and forth in my office, my mind racing with worry. Ruth had been missing for weeks, and I had no idea where she was or if she was even safe. I had tried calling her, but her phone went straight to voicemail. I had tried tracking her, but she seemed to have vanished into thin air.Just as I was starting to lose hope, my phone rang. It was John, "Vincent, I have some news," he said, his voice serious. "I found out where Ruth is. She's at school, trying to start a new life."I felt a mix of emotions: relief that she was safe, but also angry at myself for how I have abused her while she lives in my pack. "What's going on, John?" I asked, trying to keep my cool. "Why did she leave?""It has to do with my mate, Vincent," John replied. “She said it has something to do with the argument that happened between my mate and I. She doesn't want to break my relationship with my mate. And she's trying to move on."I felt a pang of guilt, knowing that I contributed to her un
RUTH’S POV I stood in shock, my eyes fixed on Vincent as he revealed Michael's deepest secret. The room seemed to spin around me, and I felt a wave of embarrassment wash over me. I was the topic of town, a laughing stock. Michael, the man I loved, didn't want to mark me as his mate. Instead, he wanted to keep me as a secret mistress while he marries another woman."Ruth, please," Michael said, his voice low and urgent. "Let me explain."But I this was beyond explanation. I felt stupid for believing him, for trusting him. I shook my head, trying to clear the cobwebs."No, Michael," I said, my voice firm. "I want to be left alone. You've betrayed my trust, and I don't know if I can ever forgive you."Michael's face fell, and he looked at me with pleading eyes. "Ruth, please," he said again. "I love you. I want to make it right."But I was unmoved. I turned away from him, my heart heavy with sorrow. "Just leave me alone, Michael," I said. "I'll return to the pack with you when I can for
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
