Michael's POVI scanned the shadows, my senses on high alert. Ruth, my mate, was always my top priority. And now, Elijah has become an integral part of our circle. The night air vibrated with tension as my phone buzzed, shrill in the silence.A cryptic message flashed on the screen: "Ruth and Elijah are in grave danger. Meet me at the old warehouse."My instincts screamed warning. Who was this mysterious informant? I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched.As I arrived at the warehouse, Victor emerged from the darkness. His respectful nod eased some of my tension."Michael, I've received intel on Lucien's plans," Victor said, his voice low.My ears perked up, and I felt Ruth's presence in my mind. "What does he want?"Victor's expression turned grave. "He's seeking to exploit Ruth's connection to the moon."A growl rumbled in my chest. No one threatened my mate and lived."I'll take care of it," I vowed.Victor nodded, his eyes locked on mine. "I knew I could count on y
Ruth's POVI screamed as Michael fell, his body crashing to the ground. My heart shattered into a million pieces. I rushed to his side, my power surging out of control. A blast of lunar energy exploded from me, sending Arden stumbling back.Our allies rallied around us, Elijah's wolf form tearing through Arden's forces with deadly precision. Victor and Amelia fought with skill and strategy, taking down enemy after enemy.But Michael lay motionless, his eyes closed."Michael!" I whispered, shaking him gently.His eyes flickered open, and relief washed over me."Ruth," he whispered, his voice weak.I helped him sit up, his eyes locking onto mine."We need to finish this," he said, determination etching his face.Together, we stood, our bond stronger than ever.Arden's eyes blazed with fury as he backed away."You may have bested me this time," Arden snarled, "but I'll return."I stood tall, my power coursing through me."We'll be ready," I vowed.As Arden vanished into the shadows, our
Ruth's POV:As we celebrated our victory over Arden, a mysterious person emerged from the shadows. Dressed in long, flowing robes, with eyes that seemed to hold ancient wisdom, she introduced herself as Ariana."I've been waiting for you, Ruth," Ariana said, her voice low and mystical. "You're more than just a powerful werewolf. You're the key to unlocking an ancient prophecy."Ariana handed me a worn, leather-bound book. The cover was adorned with strange symbols that seemed to shimmer in the light."This is the Book of Lunaria," she explained. "It holds the secrets of your true destiny."As I opened the book, the pages revealed intricate illustrations and cryptic text. One passage stood out:"When moon's child claims her rightful place,The balance of power shall shift and sway.A new era dawns, with shadows cast,And Ruth, the lunar heart, shall forever last."Michael's eyes narrowed. "What does it mean?"Ariana's gaze locked onto mine. "You, Ruth, are the lunar heart. Your power
Ruth POV I stood at the entrance of the infirmary, my eyes fixed on the two figures sitting in the waiting area. My parents. It had been years since I'd last seen them.Michael's hand found mine, offering silent support."Are you ready for this?" he asked.I nodded, steeling myself.My parents rose as I approached. Their eyes, once filled with rejection, now brimmed with tears."Ruth," my mother whispered, her voice trembling.My father took a step forward."Ruth, sweetheart, we're sorry," he said.Sorry.The word echoed in my mind.Too little, too late."You disowned me," I said, my voice flat. "You left me to fend for myself."My mother's face crumpled."We were wrong," she sobbed.My father's eyes pleaded."We didn't understand," he said.Understand?They never tried."You didn't care when I was molested by our own pack," I spat.My mother gasped."Ruth, we—""Don't," I cut her off."You didn't protect me. You didn't love me."My father's face contorted in anguish."We love you, R
Ruth's POV As Cassius's eyes locked onto mine, I sensed a glimmer of humanity beneath the surface. Aurelia noticed it too."Sister, please," she begged, her voice trembling.But Cassius's expression twisted in defiance. "No," he snarled, unleashing a fresh wave of dark magic.The battle raged on. Elijah transformed into his wolf form, tackling Cassius with ferocious strength. Amelia and Victor provided cover, their strategic shots taking down Cassius's minions. Michael fought alongside me, our movements synchronized.Despite our combined strength, Cassius seemed unstoppable. Until Aurelia intervened.Her magic countered Cassius's, weakening his defenses.

Ruth's POV As I hugged my parents tightly, a mix of emotions swirled within me. Relief, joy, and a hint of trepidation.My parents' eyes, once clouded by darkness, now shone with a faint glow."We're sorry, Ruth," my father whispered, his voice cracking.My mother's tears mingled with mine."We were blinded," she said. "Arachne promised us power, but at a terrible cost."I pulled back, studying their faces."What cost?" I asked.My father's expression turned somber."We made a pact with Arachne, trading our loyalty for a chance to protect you."Protect me?From what?"Explain," I demanded.My mother hesitated."Arachne revealed a prophecy – one that foretold your destiny."A shiver ran down my spine."What prophecy?"My father's voice dropped to a whisper."You're the key to unlocking an ancient power, Ruth. One that could change the course of supernatural history."Suddenly, the pieces fell into place.The Lunar Council's interest.Cassius's obsession.Arachne's manipulation.All co
Michael's POVI stood at the edge of the forest, moonlight casting eerie shadows on the trees. My werewolf senses tingled, alert to the darkness gathering around us.Ruth, the Lunar Child, walked beside me, her determination a beacon in the night."We're close," she whispered, her eyes scanning the treeline.Kael's presence loomed ahead, his malevolent energy poisoning the air.As her guardian, I'd do everything to protect Ruth from the master of darkness."Stay sharp," I warned, my voice barely above a growl.Ruth's hand brushed mine, sending a spark through our bond.Together, we faced the shadows.Kael's laughter echoed through the forest, sending chills down my spine.The behemoth emerged, its jaws open wide, ready to devour us whole.I transformed, my werewolf form bursting forth.Cassius fought alongside me, our movements a blur of claws and fury.Aurelia's magic infused the air, weakening the beast.But Kael's power grew, feeding off our fear.Ruth's lunar energy pulsed, calli
Vincent's POVI stood before Ruth and Michael, my heart heavy with the weight of my trial. Their love shone like a beacon, a reminder of what I'd lost.As they broke apart from their kiss, Michael's gaze drifted to mine. A mix of emotions swirled within his eyes – empathy, understanding, and a hint of wariness."Vincent," he said, his voice measured.I met his gaze, a world of pain and resolve within mine. "I've come to realize," I began, "Ruth deserves happiness."Michael's expression softened. "With me?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.I nodded, a pang of longing echoing through my chest. "I'll complete my trial," I vowed. "Not for Ruth's love, but for redemption."Michael's eyes narrowed. "Redemption from what?"I hesitated, the darkness within me stirring. "From the shadows I've carried."Ruth's voice broke the silence, her concern etched on her face. "Vincent, what will you face in your trial?"I took a deep breath, steeling myself. "The shadows within," I replied, my
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
