Rejected on the night of a forced wedding, Ruby Blackwood finds herself cast aside by both the werewolf pack and her own family. Betrayed by those closest to her and stripped of her place as the Luna, Ruby is left to rebuild her life from the ground up. Seven years later, as a successful fashion designer and mother of twins, Ruby’s past collides with her present when Alpha Roman D’Angelo returns, demanding answers—and a second chance. But Ruby is no longer the weak girl he discarded, and this time, it’s her turn to either reject him or forgive and accept him.

The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 147. Not a Dead End?
~Ruby's POV~Some Minutes Earlier…I smirked, opening the car door. “Thanks for the ride, Roman.”And just like that, I stepped out, shutting the door behind me before he could respond.I walked up the steps steadily, with a straight posture. It was clear that I wanted to keep our conversation brief, and fortunately, Roman was nice enough not to insist. When I reached the door, I unlocked it and stepped inside. I exhaled slowly, my gaze sweeping over the space.“Been a while,” I whispered to myself.The air still smelled faintly of amber and vanilla—probably from the last time I’d cleaned. Everything was exactly as I had left it, but somehow, it felt… different. Maybe it was because my life was slightly less complicated the last time I was here.Shaking the thoughts away, I headed to the kitchen, grabbing a glass of water. I made my way to my bedroom, feeling really exhausted. I rubbed my temple absentmindedly, knowing sleep wouldn’t come easily tonight.Maybe a bath would help.I

~Roman's POV~“Did you do everything I asked?” I asked, my eyes still on the quiet street as Kai shifted beside me.“Yeah, everything’s in place.” He nodded and handed me a tablet.I took it, my fingers scrolling across the screen as live footage from inside Ruby’s house appeared. The cameras were subtle, nearly invisible to the untrained eye, capturing different angles—the living room, the kitchen, the hallway, and the bedrooms.“Mini surveillance cameras all around and inside the house... except the bathroom, of course,” Kai said with a smirk.I glanced at him. “No one will know they’re there?”“Not at all. Not a single clue.”Satisfied, I continued swiping through the views, watching as Ruby moved through the house. She walked into the kitchen, grabbed a glass of water, then made her way to her bedroom. She looked… tired. I could see the way her shoulders slumped slightly, the way she rubbed her temple absentmindedly.Yet, even in exhaustion, she was beautiful.I exhaled, leaning

~Roman's POV~“The one who, by the way, threatened me to stay away from you so she could have you all to herself,” Ruby said.My head snapped up, and I turned to face her fully. “She what?”Ruby leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, lips pressed together in something that looked like annoyance—but I could tell there was something else beneath it. Frustration? Hurt? Maybe even jealousy.Not that she’d ever admit it.“Yeah,” she continued, picking at the edge of her napkin. “She pulled me aside, smiled all sweet like she was about to give me some business advice, and then told me I should step aside so she could have you. Like I was just some obstacle in her way.”I clenched my jaw. That sounded exactly like something Sarah would do.“And you just let her say that to you?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.Ruby scoffed. “Oh, please. You think I just stood there and nodded? No, Roman, I made it very clear that I don’t take orders from women who act like desperate high school girls.”A small

~Ruby's POV~The car rolled to a slow stop, and I glanced around, confused. The engine hummed softly but there was no red light, no sign of traffic.“Umm… why are we stopping?” I finally asked, leaning slightly forward.Roman adjusted his seatbelt, glancing at me through the rearview mirror. “We stopped because I’m hungry.”I blinked. “Hungry? Like… right now?”“Yeah, right now.” He turned to look at me fully this time, and he was completely serious.I followed his gaze and realized we were parked in front of a restaurant. “Oh, come on,” I whispered under my breath.Roman smirked, as if hearing my frustration was the highlight of his day. “When I found out you were leaving town, I had to leave what I was doing, take a helicopter, and get here before you.”I scoffed. “Like seriously, Roman?” I shook my head. “You sent yourself on that errand, not me.”“You could at least say thank you for my efforts,” he quipped.I crossed my arms and huffed, looking away.Kai, who had been unusually

~Ruby's POV~Kai stood there, casually leaning against the car as if he had all the time in the world. His usual smirk played on his lips, amusement twinkling in his eyes.“Good evening, Ruby,” he greeted, his tone smooth and composed.I forced a smile. “Hey, good evening, Kai. How are you doing?” I asked with a forced smile, trying to play along.“Nice to see you, Ruby,” he said, standing up a little taller, a playful look in his eyes.I glanced around, pretending to look for someone. “What a coincidence. Who are you waiting for?”Kai smirked. “Umm… a young lady. She just arrived.”I narrowed my eyes at him. Of course, he’s playing along.“May I have your bags then,” he said, stepping forward to take my luggage.“No, no… not at all, Kai.” I pulled my bags back.His smirk faded slightly. “Roman actually sent me, Ruby. He asked me to pick you up.” His tone was more serious now.I sighed. Of course, he did.“Nah, no worries, Kai. I can take care of myself.”“Umm… Ruby, he specifically a

~Ruby's POV~"Are you sure you don't want one of us there with you?" Liam’s voice was filled with concern as he asked.I let out a soft chuckle, shaking my head. "No, not at all, Liam. I got this."Helen folded her arms, studying me carefully. "Are you sure, Ruby?"I turned to face them both, offering a reassuring smile. "Come on, Liam, you've got work to do, and Helen, your CEO duties are waiting."Helen winced, realization dawning on her."And the kids are resuming school soon. I can't be the only one left out," I continued. "This is my duty. A duty I must attend to."Liam exhaled heavily. "Hmm… if you're sure about this.""I'm more than sure," I interrupted before he could argue."Alright then… if you say so," Liam relented.Little Ruby held onto Helen's hand, her bottom lip jutting out slightly. "We're gonna miss you, Mum."I smiled at her, trying to lighten the mood. "Oh? Is that you admitting it?"Rhett and Little Ruby exchanged a look before lowering their heads. Their silence

~Damien's POV~Evan walked into my office, his presence filled with unsaid emotions.“I think everyone’s here, Damien,” he said, standing near my desk.“Are they all?” I asked, locking eyes with him.“Yeah… they’re waiting for us to join in.”I exhaled sharply, adjusting my sleeves. “Alright… let’s get this over with.”Together, we made our way to the meeting room.“I hope they have a damn good explanation for this,” I muttered, straightening my suit before reaching for the door handle.The room was filled with low murmurs, but the second I stepped in, everything went silent.I took my seat at the head of the table, scanning the room slowly, taking in the expressions—some neutral, some nervous, some unreadable.“Without wasting any more time,” I began, “let’s get straight to the reason for this gathering.”A few nods of acknowledgement. But before I could continue, I noticed an empty seat.“Who’s missing?” I asked, my tone sharp.The answer came before anyone could speak.“I am yet to

~Damian’s POV~I held the phone to my ear, feeling frustrated as the dial tone kept ringing. When Ruby finally answered, her voice was calm and neutral."Good evening, Uncle Damien.""Good evening, Ruby," I said without wasting time on pleasantries. "Where are you?"There was a slight pause before she answered."Umm… I'm out of town presently."I clenched my jaw. So it was true."So you really left town without informing me?" My voice was firm, but I kept it measured."Informing you?" she countered, her tone shifting. "I wasn't aware I was supposed to report my whereabouts to you, Uncle Damien."I exhaled sharply. "Hmmmm."I knew how she was. Stubborn, just like her father."Moreover," she continued, "business held me down. I'll return soon, to make sure Aunt Jean's killer is found."Now, that was the part I wanted to hear."That is exactly why I'm calling," I said. "It seems we have a lead."Her voice perked up slightly. "Oh… really? That’s good."I nodded to myself. "We have intel t
Last Updated : 2025-02-11The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 139. In Denial?...
~Ruby's POV~“Ruby, it’s not what you think,” Roman said, his voice laced with urgency.I tilted my head, raising a brow as I let out a small, nervous laugh. It wasn’t because I found the situation amusing, but because I needed to mask what I was really feeling—an unfamiliar, unwelcome sting of jealousy.“What I think?” I repeated, shaking my head with a tight-lipped smile. “Believe me, Roman, I’m not thinking anything at all.”He exhaled, running a hand through his hair as if trying to piece together the right words. “Ruby, I—”I cut him off with a casual wave of my hand. “Why should I think anything? You’re free to entertain whoever you like.” I forced a light chuckle, even though my chest felt tight. “Just… forget about it.”“Ruby, but—”“Don’t you have guests to attend to?” I interrupted again, nodding toward a small group of elegantly dressed women who were eyeing him from across the room.Roman barely spared them a glance. “That’s not what I meant, Ruby.”I lifted my glass, my f

001. Scar from the past...
"And the award for Best Fashion Designer goes to... Ruby Blackwood!"My heart stopped. I heard the applause, but it was distant, muted, as if I had momentarily detached from the present. Me? Ruby Blackwood, Best Designer of the Year? It felt surreal.I stared at the stage in disbelief. The host smiled brightly, waiting for me to claim the award. The room, full of clapping and cheering people, seemed to blur as I tried to process what was happening.Suddenly, a small hand tugged at mine, snapping me back to reality."Mummy!" Rhett’s excited voice pulled me back to the present as he grinned up at me, pointing toward the stage. "Aren’t you going? They’re waiting!"I blinked, my pulse quickening. "Oh my God," I whispered under my breath, shaking off the daze. How could I forget? I had won! I had won.With shaky hands, I stood up from my seat, smoothing down the fabric of my black gown as I tried to compose myself. I could feel the eyes of the entire room on me, but amidst the sea of fa...
