Ruby's Protector Chapter 15
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.

I was done for. Alpha Lucian would soon arrive and I still had no answer to his riddle. I bet he made up a fake riddle just to throw me off. In any case, I had a plan. I would show him just how valuable I was even without providing an answer to his useless riddle.Alpha Lucian arrived a couple minutes late today. I could tell since it seemed like he was in a hurry when he entered through the dungeon’s main door.“Who’s chasing you?” I attempted a joke.“You seem quite relaxed today. Could it be you have an answer to my riddle?” He walked steadily and drew out his chair to sit down.“I can’t say I have.”I could feel his confusion even without him saying anything.“Ruby of the Blue Sky, do you or do you not have an answer to my riddle?” he asked straightforwardly.I exhaled sharply. “I want you to repeat the riddle, so I can refresh my memory and hope to find a solution.”I was testing his patience, but either way, he wasn’t letting it slip that he knew I didn’t have an answer to his
Ruby's Protector Chapter 5
It was his sister-in-law; Gina Pierce. I knew this just from the way she stood and the aura she was exuding. No one else, other than the ‘Mother of the Blood Moon pack’ could carry themselves in such an uplifted and dignified manner.I wiped my hands with a cloth and summoned a very fake bright smile on my face as I said, “Greetings. If it wasn’t already obvious, I am washing the dirty dishes of your household as instructed by the head maid.”It was only after saying those words that I realised how rude and disrespectful they sounded out loud. I gave myself an internal facepalm. This was Alpha Lucian’s late brother’s wife and someone who everyone knew he cherished dearly.The angry expression that was Gina’s face could give Jonathan’s expression whenever someone praised me for something a run for his money.“How dare you speak like that to me? Do you have any idea who I am? And who gave you the permission to roam about and do as you please in this house? Just who exactly do you think
Ruby's Protector Chapter 6
I was wrong. Being a maid in this hellhole was as bad as I originally thought. Imagine being a worker for a party dedicated to the destruction of your life!That was exactly what was going on right now. After working as a maid in the pack house of the Blood Moon pack for three days, I had gotten used to being ordered around and slaving myself away.How irritated and surprised I was when I was told that Alpha Lucian wanted to see me. Of course I had originally wanted to ignore him and pretend as though I didn’t get the message, but as though Lucian knew that I was going to do that, he had ordered the messenger to escort me to his office directly without any form of delay.So, here I was, in the playground of the Dark devil. “Pardon me, but could you repeat your words once again? I fear I might have misheard you.” I said, shamelessly.The smug smile on Lucian’s face didn’t falter one bit as he said, “I want you to oversee the decorations in the grand hall for the party that will take p
