"I, Beta Atlas Redding, reject you, Ruby Angelo, as my mate." Those words shattered Ruby’s heart, leaving her feeling worthless and broken. Unlike her perfect step-sister, Ruby couldn’t win her mate’s affection, which only fueled her father's disappointment. To make matters worse, he arranged her marriage to the most feared Alpha in North America, the ruthless Alpha Kane Rivenwood. For Ruby, this felt like a punishment too cruel to bear. Would Alpha Kane see her as just another burden, or could this be a second chance at love? The only certainty was that his cold, ruthless nature might lead to a far darker fate.
View MoreTrue to his words, it was only by Ruby’s werewolf genes that she was able to walk. Kane had kept going all night and left her screaming. He had left after he was done without another word, and Ruby had sobbed to herself. Why was he so hard, so hard to see through, what made him so reluctant to show emotions? Was it past traumas or did he just decide to be that way? Was he born that way She had never felt so exposed, raw, and vulnerable in her life. Kane had broken her last night, but she refused to be broken. Even through the ordeal, she stared at him right in the eye, maintaining eye contact. It had broken her to see those eyes that she thought held life look so dead. Ruby managed to slide off the bed and stare at the mirror. Her hair was a mess where Kane had grabbed it. Her face was red, and her eyes were puffy from crying. It looked like someone had run her over with a car. The door creaked open, and the maid from yesterday came in with her vacuum cleaner. She gave one look a
Kane pretty much avoided her after the sex session. Ruby didn’t know if she could call it avoid or just keeping her mute, he would see her and not even give the barest hint of a smile. Just give her his smoldering look and turn away.Ruby also knew why he was like that, she had seen through his tough exterior and he didn’t want that. He didn’t trust her with it, he didn’t trust what she would do with that knowledge.He didn’t know she didn’t see him the way others saw him. All Ruby hoped for was a good marriage, one that would work and shock members of the crescent lune pack. Ruby stared at herself in the mirror and held her stomach imagining how it would feel to have Kane children. They would be as powerful as he is. She wanted them to be dark haired like he was and have his smoky green eyes.The door opened and a maid walked in, holding a vacuum cleaner. She nodded her greetings to Ruby.“Do you know where Kane is. I can’t seem to find him” Ruby asked.“At the gardens, inspecting so
Weirdly, being carried in his arms felt good. Ruby could feel his chest beating, he smelled nice and the scent was intoxicating. Her eyes dropped and she wrapped her arms around his torso. Just when she was enjoying being carried about she was tossed unceremoniously on a bed. Her eyes widened in alarm and she scrambled backwards.“Please no, I am not ready yet.” She pleaded and his green eyes narrowed.“Am I supposed to even care?” he growled and she moved back further.“Please. I don’t want to do it this way” she begged and he raised a brow.“Like I said, I don't care what you want” In one smooth move, he took off his shirt. “I have to mark you, claim you. No one touches my property and you Ruby are my property. I hear you are a virgin” he stated and Ruby started sobbing. The way he looked at her was more scary than anything in her life, he looked at her with no compassion, no emotion, just raw lust.He grabbed her leg and pulled her forward. Ruby squealed and struggled but he wasn’
Ruby cried to herself all night, and Alexa made it worse by slyly commenting on how Alpha Kane loved sex and had a high libido. Ruby wasn’t worried about sex; it was just that she wanted to do it with the person she wanted.Her father had dismissed her, telling her to take whatever she could carry, because she was leaving as soon as possible. Ruby didn’t want to take anything that reminded her of this home. She missed her mom; her mom would have been there to comfort her, probably sing her old Mexican songs—Ruby chuckled despite herself. Her mother sang like an angel. Even though Ruby didn’t understand the songs one bit, she still found them endearing and would drift off to sleep.Ruby sighed and cleaned her eyes. She gathered the clothes she needed into a backpack. She needed nothing else. She couldn’t even believe that her father had sold her—yes, sold, that was the right word—to Alpha Kane. From what Ruby knew, he was ruthless. She felt this was a punishment from her father for “ru
I, Beta Atlas Redding, reject you, Ruby Angelo, as my mate.”These words kept playing in Ruby’s head as she stared at the roof of her room. She hated herself, she hated her life—her life sucked.Beta Atlas was her mate, but as soon as he found out, he was… disgusted, furious, and he had outrightly rejected her, in front of everyone. Her stepsister had no issues. Her mate had accepted her without a second thought, obviously smitten with her, but she had been rejected. The word sounded traumatic to her.Ruby sighed and stood up to change her clothes into simple ones. She had run away from the ceremony immediately after Beta Atlas rejected her. She couldn’t bear the disapproving stares, the looks of disdain.Why did everyone think that when a female unmated wolf was rejected, it was all her fault? Wasn’t the male stupid for rejecting her? Ruby looked at herself in the mirror as she slipped into a simple shirt and jeans. She didn’t look bad; she knew she was attractive enough to get secon
