Micheal POVThe door opened and Ruth walked in, a radiant smile on her face. I couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness and relief wash over me. She had been away for what felt like an eternity, and I had missed her more than words could express.As she approached me, I could see the exhaustion etched on her face, but her eyes sparkled with a fire that I knew only I could ignite. I opened my arms, and she fell into them, her body melting into mine."I've missed you so much," I whispered, my lips brushing against her ear.She sighed, her breath tickling my skin. "I've missed you too."I pulled back, my eyes locking onto hers. I could see the depth of her emotions, the love and adoration shining brightly. I knew at that moment that I would never let her go again.Without a word, I swept her into my arms, my lips crashing down on hers. The kiss was passionate, all-consuming, and I could feel the tension between us building.I deepened the kiss, my tongue tangling with hers, as I backe
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The fate of the universe depended on me? It sounded like a crazy dream, but Dr. Lee's serious expression told me otherwise.I looked at Michael, my heart racing with fear and excitement. He squeezed my hand, his eyes locked onto mine."We'll face this together," he whispered.I nodded, taking a deep breath. I was ready to face whatever lay ahead, as long as Michael was by my side.Dr. Lee led us out of the gallery, into a waiting car. We sped through the city, the buildings blurring together as we headed towards our destination.I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched, that unseen eyes were trained on us."Where are we going?" I asked Dr. Lee, my voice barely above a whisper."The gateway," he replied, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "It's the only way to unlock the secrets of the universe."I felt a shiver run down my spine. What lay ahead, I had no idea. But I was ready to face it, with Michael by my side.As we drove, the cit
Michael's POVAs I lay in bed with Emily, I felt a sense of guilt wash over me. I knew I was hurting Rebecca, and I knew I was risking everything for this affair. But I couldn't stop myself. I was addicted to Emily, to the way she made me feel."Vincent, I love you," Emily whispered, her lips tracing a path down my chest.I closed my eyes, feeling a surge of pleasure. "I love you too," I lied, knowing I didn't mean it.But Emily didn't seem to care. She just kept touching me, kept kissing me, and I couldn't resist.As we made love, I knew I was crossing a line. I was cheating on my mate, my partner, and I was risking everything for this affair.But I couldn't stop myself. I was trapped in a web of my own making, and I didn't know how to escape.Afterwards, Emily fell asleep in my arms, and I lay there, feeling guilty and ashamed. I knew I had to end it, but I didn't know how.As I looked at Emily, I knew I had to make a choice. I had to choose between my duty to Rebecca and my passion
Micheal POVI couldn't shake off the feeling of unease as I watched Rebecca's eyes narrowed into slits, her gaze fixed on Emily. I knew that look all too well, it was the same look she had given Ruth before she ruined her reputation.Rebecca's father, the pack alpha, had arranged our marriage when we were just teenagers, solidifying the alliance between our packs. I had always felt trapped by this arrangement, but I had never mustered the courage to defy my parents.Now, as I watched Rebecca's jealousy simmering just below the surface, I realized that I had to make a choice. I couldn't let her hurt Emily, not when I was starting to develop feelings for her myself."Rebecca, let's talk about this," I said, trying to reason with her.But she just laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "You're defending her, Michael? After everything I've done for you?"I took a deep breath, trying to calm her down. "Rebecca, this has nothing to do with us. It's about Vincent and Emily's relationship."But sh
Michael POVI felt a surge of gratitude towards her. No one had ever stood by me like that before.Together, we came up with a plan. We would gather evidence of Rebecca's wrongdoing and expose her to the pack.It was a risk, but I knew it was the right thing to do. I couldn't let Rebecca hurt anyone else.As we walked back to our cars, Emily turned to me. "Michael?""Yeah?""Thank you for standing up for me," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.I smiled, feeling a sense of pride. "I'll always stand up for you, Emily," I said.And in that moment, I knew that I would do anything to protect her.As we drove away from the bar, I couldn't shake off the feeling that we were being watched. I glanced in the rearview mirror, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.Emily noticed my unease. "What's wrong?" she asked.I hesitated, not wanting to alarm her. "Just a feeling," I said.But she knew me too well. "Michael, tell me," she pressed.I sighed. "I think Rebecca might be following us."E
As we left the pack leader's office, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. We had done the right thing, but I knew that Rebecca would not take this lying down."Let's get out of here," Vincent said, his voice low. "We don't know what she's capable of."I nodded in agreement, my heart racing with anticipation. We had to be careful, and had to watch our backs.As we walked out of the building, I noticed a figure lurking in the shadows. It was one of Rebecca's loyal followers, a snarl on his face."Looks like we have a problem," Emily said, her voice tight.I nodded, my senses on high alert. We had to protect ourselves, and had to be ready for anything.Suddenly, the follower lunged at us, his teeth bared. I pushed Emily out of the way, just in time."Run!" I yelled, as Vincent and I fought off the attacker.We managed to subdue him, but not before he whispered a chilling message in my ear."Rebecca will get you," he snarled. "She'll make you pay."I shivered, my heart racing with
Vincent POV As I sat in the dimly lit cellar, my mind racing with thoughts of Emily's fate, I heard footsteps echoing down the stairs. Rebecca appeared, a sly smile spreading across her face."Vincent , dear Vincent ," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I see you're still trying to save Emily. How quaint."I glared at her, my anger boiling over. "Where is she?" I demanded.Rebecca chuckled. "Oh, Emily is...indisposed. But don't worry, you'll see her soon enough."Suddenly, the door creaked open and someone was dragged in. It was Emily, her eyes wide with fear."Vincent !" she screamed, struggling against her restraints.I lunged at Rebecca, but she was too quick. She pulled out a small device and pressed a button, sending a jolt of electricity through my body. I collapsed, helpless.As I lay there, I saw Rebecca lean in close to Emily. "You see, Emily, Vincent here is quite...persistent. But don't worry, I have a plan to take care of him."And with that, she revealed a shock

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
