The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 051. Reunion...
Liam turned toward me with that reassuring smile of his, the one that always managed to make things feel lighter, even when they weren’t. “I’ll just be outside, alright?”I gave him a small nod. “I’ll see you in a bit.”He turned around and walked away. The door clicked shut behind him, sealing us in calm silence. For a brief moment, I let myself breathe, only to turn back and find Aunt Jean watching me. Her gaze—steady and probing—held something I couldn’t quite decipher.“He’s…” Jean began but trailed off as if searching for the right words.“Straightforward,” I supplied, offering her a faint smile.Jean nodded slightly, a knowing look flickering in her eyes. “Disciplined. Open. He has every good quality you could ask for in a person.”“He sure does,” I admitted softly, unable to hide the small smile tugging at my lips. I could still feel the lingering warmth of his presence in the room.“You two seem very close.” Jean's voice was careful, but there was a question in it that she di

ROMAN’S POVThe airport buzzed with its usual chaos—announcements blaring over speakers, the shuffle of luggage wheels on tile, and the hum of impatient travellers. As my car pulled up to the curb, I spotted Kai standing near the entrance, casually leaning against his car, arms crossed like he didn’t have a care in the world.I rolled down the window as we approached. “Driver, stop here,” I said, motioning toward Kai. Grayson nodded and pulled over.Kai noticed me and straightened up, a smug smile creeping across his face.“Finally decided to show up?” he quipped, walking toward me as Grayson unloaded my bags from the trunk.I stepped out of the car and nodded to him. “Thanks. I can take it from here. You can head back now.”He nodded, tipping his hat before driving off.As I turned to Kai, I couldn’t help but notice his car parked behind him. A thought struck me, and I smirked. “So, what’s the plan for your car, Kai?” I asked, gesturing toward it with a tilt of my head.Kai patted t

The car arrived at the large apartment building, which looked sleek and modern with its glass exterior reflecting the city skyline. Several workers hurried out to greet us, their faces eager but restrained, their bows precise. I offered a curt nod in response, the weight of my thoughts leaving little room for pleasantries.Kai let out a dramatic sigh as he dragged my luggage to the entrance and flopped into the nearest chair. “Feels good to be back,” he said, kicking his feet out and leaning back.I raised an eyebrow at him. “Don’t get too comfortable. My office—now,” I said, already heading for the stairs.“Damn it,” Kai muttered behind me.“I can hear you,” I called over my shoulder, a smirk tugging at the corner of my mouth.“Of course, you can,” he shot back, throwing his hands up in mock exasperation. “A little break would be appreciated, you know.”Reaching the top of the stairs, I called back without turning, “You wouldn’t know what to do with one.”Kai groaned theatrically be

Dane cleared his throat and looked at Jean briefly before focusing back on me. “Alpha Damien wants you in his presence,” his voice smooth but edged with something sharp—an order disguised as a request.I swallowed hard, forcing myself to keep my expression unreadable. “Is that so?” I asked coolly, folding my arms across my chest to mask the trembling in my hands.Dane’s eyes narrowed just slightly. “Yes,” he said simply. “And he doesn’t like to be kept waiting.”My jaw tightened at the mention of Damien. It had been years since I’d last heard his name spoken aloud, but just like that, the memories came rushing back—his cold eyes, the weight of his commands, the impossible expectations.Aunt Jean squeezed my hand again, grounding me. I looked at her quickly, her face pale but determined. Her expression spoke volumes: Don’t do anything rash.I took a slow, steady breath before answering. “And what if I don’t want to see him?” my voice sharp but steady.The tension in the room thickened

“She can’t hide forever,” I said, pacing the office. My voice was calm, but beneath it was a storm brewing. “She’s good, but I’m better. Start digging—contacts, security footage, anything. She’s here, and I’m going to find her.”Kai nodded, his expression grim, his lips pressed into a thin line. “On it.”I left the room without another word, heading down the hall to my bedroom. Once inside, I locked the door behind me and leaned against it for a moment, my thoughts spinning. How the hell had Ruby pulled this off?I stepped into the bathroom, the faint hum of the shower filling the silence as I turned the water on. The warm spray hit my skin, and for a moment, I let the tension in my muscles ease. But my mind wouldn’t stop racing.I had underestimated her. That much was clear. She was always sharp, but this? Leaving the kids behind meant she wasn’t running—not in the sense I thought. If she was planning to disappear, the twins would’ve been the first thing she took with her.“Then why

The living room felt like a snapshot of my past, frozen in time. Everything was exactly as I remembered—familiar furniture, design patterns on the walls, even the scent of sandalwood and aged books lingered in the air. Yet, the warmth that once existed here had evaporated, replaced by a tension so thick it felt suffocating.Damien gestured toward the couch. “Please, sit.”Liam and I exchanged a glance before lowering ourselves onto the leather sofa. It creaked softly under our weight, as if protesting our presence. Damien remained standing for a moment without removing his gaze, before he finally settled into the armchair across from us.His eyes shifted to Liam, sizing him up like a hawk studying its prey. “And who is this?” he asked smoothly, but with a sharp edge beneath it.“This is Liam,” I said in a steadfy voice. “My fiancé.”Damien’s eyebrows lifted slightly, a flicker of amusement crossing his face. “Fiancé, you say?” He leaned back, stroking his chin thoughtfully. “Hmmm.”L

I could feel the tension in the air as I stood firm, looking into Uncle Damien's glowing eyes. His presence was always intense, a heavy feeling I could never shake off. But this time was different."Choose your next words and actions carefully... Uncle Damien," I said firmly. For once, I wasn't afraid."You've grown some nerves, Ruby." His tone was as sharp as a blade. He leaned in closer, squinting as his eyes began to shine more brightly.I didn’t flinch. “You can growl and flash your glowing eyes all you want, Uncle Damien. You don’t scare me anymore.”His silence stretched, each second feeling like an eternity. He stared at me down, his chest heaving as he struggled to rein in his temper. Then, with a cold resolve, he stepped back, pressing his lips into a thin line."We're done here. Time we head back," he said, his voice cold and clipped."Gladly," I replied, brushing past him with a surge of adrenaline coursing through me. For the first time in my life, I had stood up to Unc

Liam leaned in, his lips quirking into a teasing grin. “Something like this?” he asked, pretending to lean in for a kiss.My heart skipped a beat as our faces drew closer. I swallowed hard, my gaze flicking between his eyes and his lips.“Hmmm hmmm,” I coughed, pulling back slightly. “Yeah, something like that. But only in front of Uncle Damien—not when we’re alone.”Liam laughed, leaning back. “Relax, I was just kidding. But... didn’t you say your uncle has eyes and ears all over the city?”I nodded. “He does.”“Then we’ll have to keep up the act all the time,” he said with mock seriousness, though the twinkle in his eye betrayed his amusement.I smirked. “Even Uncle Damien’s ears and eyes has limits. They can’t fit inside a cab with us.”“Hmmm hmmm,” Liam echoed, clearing his throat theatrically before leaning back.I pulled out my phone, scrolling through my contacts. “I need to call Helen,” I muttered.“You haven’t called her since we arrived?” Liam asked, his eyebrows shooting up

"I'm yours," I breathed, giving myself over to him, letting him take control."And I'm yours," he murmured, his teeth grazing my skin, sending a shiver down my spine.I could feel his cock pressing against me, hard and throbbing. I ached to feel him inside me, filling me, stretching me.Roman released his grip on my hair, his hand moving down to cup my breast, teasing the nipple.I moaned, arching into his touch, craving more.He groaned, his fingers pinching and rolling the sensitive bud."Fuck, Ruby," he growled, his lips finding mine again, kissing me hard."Please, Roman," I breathed, kissing him back with equal ferocity, my body trembling with need.He broke the kiss and grinned down at me, his eyes glittering with desire. "Patience, Luna," he teased, his fingers ghosting over my nipple."No," I protested, my body arching, trying to get more. "Please, Roman."He chuckled and grabbed the top of my dress, tugging it down, revealing my breasts. He cupped one, squeezing firmly, his t
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 236. Wedding Night...
The door clicked shut behind us, shutting out the world. The firelight flickered on the walls of the Alpha’s Quarters, casting shadows. My mind took a trip down memory lane, our first night together.I barely remembered what happened that night, but it planted the seed that became the twins.Then it was against my will and ourtime together was a haze from being drunk.Today, it was different.Roman held me close with his strong arms, my bare feet hanging as he embraced me. His eyes locked onto mine, filled with warmth and intensity, and I could feel the air between us change—growing heavier.“Ready to rule by my side, Luna?” he asked, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through me.“Yes,” I’d answered, the word echoing in my chest as he set me down, my toes brushing the cool wooden floor.But he didn’t step back.His hands stayed on my waist, fingers pressing just enough to anchor me, and I felt the pull of him, like gravity, like fate.My body responded in a rush, warmth tingling in
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 235. The Wedding...
~Ruby's POV~The morning light filtered through the silk curtains like a quiet promise. A breeze slipped in from the balcony of the guest quarters, cool against my bare arms as I stood facing the mirror. For the first time, the dress hanging behind me wasn’t chosen by politics or pressure—it was mine. Handpicked. Designed with intention. A soft ivory fabric laced with silver moon-thread, delicate embroidery swirling like wind-blown snow across the hem. The fabric shimmered as if it remembered starlight. It wasn’t just a wedding dress. It was a declaration. I chose this. I chose him.“Okay,” Keely said, stepping back with her hands on her hips. “You are officially glowing. Like—transcendent, divine, goddess-level glowing.”Esperanza nodded, applying the final touch of gloss to my lips before holding the mirror up. “Tell me you don’t look like you could command the entire realm of werewolves and humans alike.”I smiled, nerves fluttering in my stomach like paper wings. “You two are in
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 234. Homecoming...
~Ruby's POV~The tires barely crunched over the gravel before I saw them—Helen, the kids, Keely, Esperanza—all standing outside the house like they were waiting for something spectacular.Well… maybe they were.They held handmade signs above their heads. One in Little Ruby’s unmistakable handwriting read: Welcome Back! and another, messily painted in glitter and marker, said: TELL US EVERYTHING!Roman laughed as he stepped out of the car, squinting against the afternoon sun. “Looks like we’ve got a welcoming committee.”I didn’t even get a chance to grab my purse before the twins launched themselves toward us. Roman caught both of them in his arms with ease, lifting them off the ground and spinning them around. They squealed with delight, tiny limbs flailing mid-air.“Good to see you two,” Roman said, his voice softer than usual. The kind of tone I’d only ever heard him use with them.“Same here, Dad,” they chimed in unison.“How was your vacation?” Rhett asked, ever the polite one.
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 233. Proposal...
~Ruby's POV~I woke to silence.No breath against my neck. No warmth tucked behind me. No Roman.My hand instinctively reached for the other side of the bed, but the sheets were cold, untouched. I blinked, sitting up slowly and brushing strands of hair out of my face.That’s when I saw it—folded neatly and left in Roman’s unmistakable scrawl on the pillow beside me.“Wear something pretty. I’m stealing you away at 6.”I stared at it for a second too long before letting out a quiet scoff. “Roman,” I murmured with a small smile, clutching the note for a moment before setting it down on the nightstand.The evening was quiet; the cabin was quiet—too quiet. No hum from the bathroom, no clinking of cups from the kitchenette, not even the rustle of papers or faint footsteps. Just me, the distant ticking of the clock, and… my stomach rumbling like it had a score to settle.“Damn,” I mumbled, placing a hand on my belly. “Calm down.”I grabbed one of the leftover cookies I found in the fridge a
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 232. Our Own World II...
The past three days have been wonderfully fun, and today, being the fourth, wasn't going to be any different. The moment we stepped into the cobblestone square of the old town market, I felt her energy shift.Ruby slowed down, taking in the quaint charm like it was something out of a fairytale. String lights crisscrossed overhead despite it being daytime, casting soft golden hues across the worn stones beneath our feet. Colorful stalls lined both sides of the street, selling everything from handwoven baskets to carved figurines and spices in little muslin pouches. The air smelled of roasted almonds, cinnamon, and woodsmoke.“Whoa… this is beautiful,” she murmured, eyes wide, voice soft with awe.I tried to hide the grin tugging at my lips, but failed. “Told you I had good taste.”She rolled her eyes, not even trying to fight the smile that followed. “Don’t be full of yourself, Roman. You just got lucky.”“Uh-huh. So yesterday’s waterfall was luck? And the valley before that?” I shot
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 231. Our Own World I...
~Roman's POV~The second day of our little escape began with nothing but sun, wildflowers, and an open valley. The scent of spring was thick in the air—crisp grass, blooming petals, and that earthy sweetness that only comes when you’re far from city noise. For once, everything felt… quiet. Still. Like the world had decided to hold its breath and just let us exist.We rode out into the valley after breakfast, the horses crunching over gravel and dry brush. Ruby looked ahead with this gleam in her eyes like she was ten again, wild and unbothered. She had insisted she was a "natural" at horseback riding.I should’ve known better.We had barely ridden into the open stretch when her horse wandered off-course, heading toward the ridge with a mind of its own. Ruby’s posture tensed, both hands gripping the reins like they were her last lifeline.“Whoa—okay. Alright, not funny,” she muttered, trying to redirect the horse, but it kept veering left.I didn’t even laugh. Not yet. I kicked my
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 230. Beginning of Everything New...
Ruby’s POVThe next morning came faster than expected.Roman had been up early—earlier than me, which was a rare occasion, but it shouldn’t have surprised me too—and had already packed both our bags by the time I made it downstairs. He was standing near the door, arms crossed, looking smug as hell.“You ready?” he asked, that crooked little grin playing at the corners of his lips.I narrowed my eyes at the sight of the duffle bag slung over his shoulder. “What exactly are we packing for?”He raised a brow. “A break.”I folded my arms. “Roman D’Angelo, you said peace—not mystery.”He chuckled. “It’s a peaceful mystery. You’ll like it.”“You’re terrible at surprises.”He leaned in and brushed a kiss to my cheek. “And yet, I keep trying. That has to count for something.”Despite myself, I smiled.We left just before noon—Helen waving us off with a mock salute and a muttered “Godspeed” as Rhett and Little Ruby shouted goodbye from the porch. Esperanza had already set up an emergency gro
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 229. A Taste of Peace...
~Ruby's POV~“SURPRISE!!” We all shouted, popping up from every corner like confetti cannons.Helen froze, her mouth parting in surprise. Her eyes filled with something I hadn’t seen in days—real joy.Keely stepped out from behind the couch and shouted, “Welcome back, warrior!”Esperanza handed her a paper crown that read Queen of Comebacks, placing it gently on her head.Rhett and Little Ruby hugged her tightly around the waist, careful not to bump her leg.And I… I just smiled. For once, things felt light again. Not perfect. Not healed. But lighter.And that was a start.The house felt different—brighter somehow, warmer in a way that had nothing to do with the lighting. Voices echoing over each other, plates clinking in the kitchen, laughter spilling out of rooms like music. For the first time in a while, it felt like a real home again.Helen stood at the center of it all, beaming like she’d just stepped out of a miracle. Her cheeks were flushed, eyes still glassy with emotion eve
