Ruby's Protector Chapter 12
“Owwww!” I yelled.“Are you alright?” Timothy asked, rushing to check up on me.“Of course I’m not! My butt hurts like hell! Owwie!” I cried dramatically.The ten-year-old kid’s face was riddled with panic. It even made me feel bad for exaggerating my fall. Yes, my butt did hurt, but the sounds of my wails were overstated.“Don’t worry, help is coming.” Timothy tried to comfort me.My brows creased. Help? What did he mean by help? I was doing this so I could get out of working. If someone came to check on me and realised that there was nothing severely wrong with me, the head maid would kill me.I shoved the kid away lightly and said, “I don’t need your help! This is all your fault! If you hadn’t been bothering me while I was cleaning, I wouldn’t have fallen down and broken my tailbone.”Panic was an understatement of the expression on little Tim’s face. It was like he was going to explode from guilt.“I didn’t mean to. I thought you were holding onto the lamp and—”“And what? Can’t y

I’ve become a pariah in the Blood Moon pack.Not that I wasn’t a pariah before. It was now more obvious and glaring to the eyes. I suspected that it was because of my not working. After the entire ordeal with Lucian instructing the head maid not to give me any work, I’ve been noticing changes in everyone’s behaviour towards me. Whenever I would walk into a room with people inside it, they would immediately scamper away, speaking in hushed whispers.If I stepped into the kitchen, everyone would leave. It was so obvious that they were avoiding me. I wanted to talk to Sierra about it, but she’s been extra busy these past few days, especially since all my workload has been passed onto her.The only time she was free was at night but I couldn’t disturb her then, so I waited for the weekend to arrive, when she would be taking a break from work.I didn’t know if she had anything planned for the weekend, so first thing Saturday morning, I was standing in front of her door and knocking.Afte

One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.I didn’t feel the heat of a palm against my face. I slowly pried my eyes open to see that someone had caught Anna’s hand before it made it to my face.My eyes widened in shock. The person who saved me from the slap was someone I had not expected to see today — Gina.Gina threw Anna’s hand away and the latter stumbled in both surprise and the showing of pure strength. “Is this what you go around doing? Bullying weak members of the pack?” Gina questioned Anna and her cronies.Anna’s gaze was set on the ground as she shook her head negatively. “I was not bullying her.”“Are you insinuating that I’m blind?” Gina released a strong aura. Though I couldn’t feel its pressure because it wasn’t extended towards me, I could sense it.Anna’s cronies trembled like they were under the weight of something very heavy. Since Gina and Anna were both Deltas, it became a battle between who had the strongest wolf aura.Anna stood her ground, veins popping by the si

What could I give a man who had it all? I pondered on that question as I trailed after Sierra in the middle of the crowded streets.The night market was bustling and active with tons of people buying and trading exotic stuff. But among all the rare treasures that I was looking at, nothing stood out to me.None of the stuff could be presented to Lucian as something so incredible that he would grant me a wish.I suddenly remembered that Sierra was here for the same purpose as me, so I tugged on her sleeve and asked, “What are you going to get Lucian?”She hesitated before giving me an answer. “I heard that there was a witch who invented a rare artefact. Its ability can create the ghost of a lost loved one who can maintain their consciousness.”I was dumbfounded.If Lucian got that kind of gift, he’d be able to use it for his late brother. Or even his parents. It was extremely astounding.“How did you find out about that?” I questioned.Sierra said, “As a maid, I get to hear things. Anyw

How was that even possible?!The rogue ground the meat and bones in its mouth as it stalked closer. As if it noticed I was fresh meat, its red eyes met mine, and it spat the remains of the person it had just been eating.The rogue growled at me, marking me as its next target. “Beck!” Lucian called out. “Mindlink the nearest warriors and tell them to come over!”From the other side, Beck responded, “On it!”Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.These new rogues were more impatient than the other three and quickly started chasing after me, not even acknowledging Beck or Lucian.“Argghh!” I screamed. “Why are they intent on chasing me!?”No one answered my question, but I was scooped off the ground by someone. I looked up to see that Lucian was holding me in one hand and fighting off the rogues with his other hand.He had already cut off the head of the rogue he was fighting against earlier with his bare hands, so they were bloody. Ew!Like he could read my thoughts, Lucian said, “Focus on staying al

I told them. I told them that Jonathan would be the doom of this pack but no one listened to me. Everyone in the pack always used to sing praises of their future Alpha and how he would bring prosperity to the Blue Sky pack.Whenever I tried to get them to see that the fool could never amount to anything successful in this life, they would gang up against me and chastise me for being jealous of my adoptive brother.Now, everyone was going to reap the seed that Jonathan sowed.“They’re in the building! Everyone, run! They’re killing everyone in their path!”Someone was shouting loudly, warning people who already knew they were doomed to die today. My heartbeat raced as I opened the first door to my right and ran in. I ran straight toward the grand closet and hid myself inside. My breathing was so heavy and loud that I had to use my hand to cover my mouth. The Black Moon pack were the ones attacking us. They were the strongest pack in the Werewolf Realm. They only raided and usurped pac

I was cold. And hungry. And angry.Some people would think that being captured and made a prisoner would be better than death, but I was not some people. I had thought death would be the worst case scenario for me, but this… This was the worst case scenario. Being in this cold dungeon cell with only one small source of light to serve as a window, having nothing to eat and do for two days, but swallow my spit and think till I pass out. Oh no, cancel out that part about me having nothing to do. I glanced at the small window to see that it was sundown.Anytime from now, Alpha Lucian would come in here to mentally torture me by asking me the same questions over and over again, then going ahead to tease and annoy me till he was satisfied. I have reason to believe that torturing me was his new favourite pastime.I doubt he was treating the other hostages from the Blue Sky pack the same way he was treating me. No, I was his only special prisoner.Gaun!I heard the main door of the dungeon o

I had come up with a plan. And it didn’t involve me letting go of my pride or doing anything that would cause me to regret my actions one day. I was not going to beg Alpha Lucian for my freedom. Instead, I was going to offer him a deal.It was almost time for him to come visit me for his daily interrogation. I would bring the matter up then. Right on cue, I heard the main dungeon cell door open. I scurried over to the front of my cell, not-so patiently.“Eager today?” His voice boomed. “Having a bit of strength because of the food that was sent to you?” I didn’t answer his useless questions.“I thought about what you said the last time… about me getting out of this place.”He hummed in response after I said those words, then drew out his chair and sat down.“I take that you’re ready to grovel for my mercy. This will be interesting.” He didn’t even bother hiding the amusement in his tone. It pissed me off but I pretended not to be fazed by his actions.“I will not be grovelling today.
