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

    The morning air was cool, with a light smell of rain remaining after the early shower. Liam walked beside me as we made our way to the hotel gates. I let my thoughts wander, only for them to be interrupted by the sound of a car pulling up in front of us."Good morning, Mr. Reeves," he greeted, his voice steady."Morning, Austin," Liam replied casually, though his tone carried authority.I glanced between them, confusion knitting my brows. "What’s this about?”“Everything in place?” Liam asked the man, ignoring my question for the moment.“Yes, sir. Tested and trusted,” Austin confirmed with a small nod before slipping into the cab that had been trailing him.I crossed my arms and turned to Liam. “You bought a car?”“Rented,” he corrected, tapping the hood of the sedan with a slight smirk.“For what, Liam?” My tone carried more disbelief than curiosity.He shrugged. “I don’t like the idea of you hopping from one cab to another. So I rented this. For as long as we’re here.”“Liam—”“Whe

    The elevator doors slid open, and I stepped out, my mind a haze as I planned for the rest of the day. That’s when I saw him.Roman stood there, his tall figure blocking the path, as if he’d been waiting for me.For a split second, my breath caught. I wasn’t shocked—no, I’d expected this. Sooner or later, we were bound to cross paths. The timing was surprising.“Roman.”“Ruby.” His tone was low, almost conversational. “We finally met.”I said nothing, holding his gaze as I shifted my bag higher on my shoulder.“So,” he continued, a sardonic edge creeping into his voice, “after all the tricks you pulled at the airport, pretending to travel alone…”“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I replied, my voice level.“Cut the crap, Ruby,” he hissed. “You know exactly what I’m talking about. That little stunt you pulled—acting like you were traveling with the kids when, in reality, you left them behind.”I tilted my head, feigning thought. “Yeah… it worked, didn’t it?”His lips pressed int

    "But this is a different situation," Roman added quickly, his tone pleading."I'm listening," I said, trying not to let my guard down but still, I couldn't help but notice Roman stealing glances at me.He seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally coming out and saying what he had intended to say. "Ruby, we don't have to go through all that.""Let's not waste our time and cut straight to the point."A smirk appeared on his lips as he replied with what I wasn't expecting. "Same way we didn't waste time on our wedding night?I felt my cheeks burning, and it was only when I felt his breath against my neck that I realized how close we were."Are you flirting with me, Roman?""What if I was?""Well, you can keep doing it. It's not like we're in a hurry."His eyes lit up as a smile spread across his face. "You were always a bit of a rebel, weren't you?"You don't know the half of it.""Then show me," he whispered.It wasn’t intentional, but somehow, the conversation had shifted. The tea

    "Make yourself at home."As I watched Roman walk into my suite, I tried to ignore the way my wolf stirred uneasily inside me. It wasn’t the first time it had happened since he’d barged back into my life, but tonight… tonight it was different. The air felt charged, like electricity buzzing under my skin, and the longer he stayed, the harder it was to ignore.A quiet part of me hated how easily he slipped into my life—as if the years between us had vanished.I turned away, running a hand through my hair and focusing on unpacking my bag. The soft hum of the hotel’s air conditioning seemed louder than usual, creating a strange heaviness in the room. Shaking my head, I chalked it up to exhaustion and the long day.Then it hit me—the moonlight streaming through the window. Full and bright, it cast silver streaks across the carpet, bathing the room in a glow that made my skin tingle.So it’s the full moon, heightening my senses.Not that I’d noticed it before he arrived—why would I? I hadn

    The kiss went on for God-knows-how-long before Roman pulled away, and I felt a pang of disappointment."Don't worry, love. We'll get back to where we left off."The low rumble of his voice sent shivers down my spine, and his words sent a jolt of anticipation through me.I could feel my resolve weakening, my wolf clawing at the walls I'd spent so long building."I...I..." I stumbled over the words, trying to find a coherent thought.Before I could continue, he pulled me into his arms again, his lips finding mine in a gentle kiss. He kissed me, softly at first, but soon his lips began to move hungrily over mine.He sucked and bit down on my lower lips, making me moan in response.He moved his mouth to my ear and whispered, "I want to show you how much I love you. I want to make you happy. I want to make you feel good."All I could do was nod my head as he kissed me, taking steps forward which forced me to move backwards until I hit the bed frame. Roman pulled back a bit and pushed me do

    “I see you're very patient, my love. But don't worry, when I'm done…”"Just fuck me already," I interrupted, my voice trembling with desire as I was unable to endure his teasing any longer.There, I said it.My body was screaming for his touch and I have no intention of waiting any longer. I wanted this and I can't wait any longer. Roman on the other hand, seems to be enjoying my pleas as a wilder and wider smirk crept on his face as he shook his head.He didn’t rush, though. Instead, he seemed to revel in my frustration, taking his sweet time as he shook his head.“My lady, don't be in a hurry. Patience, you see, is a virtue. Let me…“ he murmured and then paused in his speech as a sharp gasp, followed by a deep moan filled the room.Roman wasn't shocked at this, mid-sentence as he had used his fingers while he spoke to shift my panties to the side, inserting two fingers into my hot, wet, aching core with a deliberate slowness that sent shivers cascading through me.I gasped sharply,

    I lifted my legs, locking them around his waist and I pulled my bra off completely for his hungry eyes to feast on. I knew I needed an orgasm and I needed it very soon.Roman paused, breaking the kiss to moan my name before attacking my neck with ferocity. I'm sure he's going to leave hickeys; he looks like someone who would love them. He’s definitely the kind of person that would want the world to know I was his.He kissed and sucked with fervor, each press of his mouth leaving a trail of fiery sensation in its wake.My breathing took a big turn as I felt the pleasure rise. I was getting close to orgasm, I knew it and Roman wasn't stopping or giving me a moment of rest.Soon, I began to feel my walls grip his fingers as Roman began to struggle to thrust in and out of me.The next moment that followed was something I wasn't prepared for. Roman lowered his head and took a nipple in his mouth, biting down on it slightly, sending pain and pleasure through me at the same time.I shut my e

    "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.

    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

    ~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.

    ~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 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

    ~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

    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.

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
