The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 105. Threat at her doorstep...
“So, what do you say, Ruby?” Roman asked.“Hmmm… I’ll think about it. But today, I’m staying home,” I held firm.“Alright then… if you say so, Mum,” Little Ruby said, her voice tinged with disappointment. “Just don’t regret missing out on all the fun.”I crouched down to their level, smoothing Little Ruby’s hair and giving Rhett’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “Did you forget anything?”“Even if they did, we could just get a new one,” Roman chimed in, his casual confidence unshakable.I rolled my eyes but smiled. “Alright. See you three in two days.”Little Ruby and Rhett threw their arms around me in a tight hug, clinging as if they were going off to another country instead of just a day or two away.“That’s enough. Off you go now,” I said, gently pulling away.“Bye, Mum,” they chorused, their excitement bubbling back as they headed out the door.I followed them to the car, watching Roman load their bags into the trunk. He gave me a long, thoughtful glance before nodding, his lips c

~Roman's POV~The sound of laughter filled the living room as Rhett and Little Ruby sat on the floor, their eyes glued to the TV screen. Kai sat on the couch, leaning back smugly as another animated fight scene unfolded.“This is so cool,” Little Ruby said excitedly.“Kai has great taste in cartoons,” Rhett added, nodding in approval.Kai smirked. “You think this is good? Wait till you see what’s next on my list. I have masterpieces lined up.”“Don’t get carried away,” I said, leaning back in the armchair.Kai shot me a playful glare. “Finally, someone appreciates my work, and now I’m being told not to get carried away? Do you know how much effort it takes to curate perfection?”“Cartoon selection isn’t exactly a groundbreaking skill,” I teased, scoffing.Before Kai could retaliate, my phone buzzed on the side table. I glanced at the screen and saw Ruby’s name flashing. A smile tugged at my lips—this was unexpectedly expected.“Hold on,” I said, picking up the phone and stepping into

“This is bad Ruby, this is really bad.” I said, running a hand through my hair. My mind raced as I tried to figure out our next move.“Is she going to be okay?” Ruby asked, her voice trembling.“Barely,” I said, my throat tightening. “We need to move fast.” I handed her my car keys. “Go open the car doors.”I scooped Bronwyn into my arms, her weight surprisingly light, and carried her out of the house. Ruby held the door open as I gently laid Bronwyn across the back seat.As we drove off, Ruby kept glancing back at Bronwyn’s unconscious form.“This doesn’t feel real,” she whispered.“Stay calm,” I said, gripping the steering wheel tightly. “We’ll get her to the hospital, and they’ll take care of her.”“No,” Ruby said abruptly, turning to face me.I shot her a quick glance, confused. “No? What do you mean, no?”“She told me not to take her to a hospital,” Ruby said, her voice firm but laced with fear.“That doesn’t make any sense, Ruby,” I said, my frustration bubbling up. “She’s injur

“Mum!” Little Ruby’s voice rang out, shattering the quiet.I stirred, groaning softly as I blinked my eyes open, disoriented. Little Ruby stood in front of me, her wide grin splitting her face. Behind her, Rhett peeked over her shoulder, his expression equally eager.“Hey… what’s going on?” I mumbled, trying to sit up. My body felt heavy, and my head was still foggy from sleep.“I knew you’d change your mind,” Rhett said excitedly.“What do you mean change my mind?” I asked, confused.“So this was your plan all along, huh, Mum?” Little Ruby said, narrowing one eye suspiciously as she tilted her head.I blinked at her. “Plan? What plan?”“You waited for us to fall asleep, didn’t you?” Little Ruby continued, her voice dripping with mock accusation. “Then you and Roman had your fun—movies, games, maybe even… couples’ stuff!”I froze, my half-asleep brain struggling to process her words. “What are you talking about?”“And you both look so cute together!” Rhett added, cupping his face dram

~Little Ruby's POV~We got home, and our bags were so heavy I thought my arms would fall off. But Kai was waiting for us, and he came to help.“Back so soon?” Kai said, smiling as he grabbed a couple of bags.“Do you want us to spend the whole day there?” Roman asked, shaking his head.“Nope, not at all. Was just saying,” Kai teased. Then he peeked at the bags. “What did you get for me?”“Nothing in particular, but we got a lot of things!” I said proudly.“You can pick anything you want!” Rhett added.Kai chuckled as he looked at the pile of shopping bags. “A lot, I see. Thanks, you two.”Roman stretched, looking like he was already done with the day. “I’ll just head to my room and get a shower.”“Alright,” Mum said, nodding at him.“See you little ones later,” Roman said, heading upstairs.“Alright,” Mum said, turning to us. “And you two, off to your rooms. Make sure to take a shower before coming back.“Okay, Mum!” Rhett and I said together as we climbed the stairs.Rhett got to his

~Ruby's POV~I was lying on my bed, soaking in the quiet, when the door creaked open; Rhett and Little Ruby popped their heads inside. Their mischievous smiles were enough to set off alarms in my head.“Hey, Mum. What are you doing?” Rhett asked casually. “Umm… nothing, exactly. Just trying to relax,” I said cautiously, narrowing my eyes at them.“Oh, that’s nice. What a coincidence,” Little Ruby said, her voice too sweet to be trusted.“Coincidence?” I asked, sitting up. “What are you two planning?”"Well... we were thinking the same thing too. So... you can relax outside—with us,” she added, her grin broadening.“No. Not a chance.” I shook my head firmly, but they didn’t even flinch.“Come on, Mum! You can even swim with us,” Rhett chimed in.“Oh… so that’s why you’re both dressed like that?” I asked, eyeing their swimsuits.“Exactly! Trust us, it’ll be fun,” Little Ruby said, bouncing on her toes.“Remember, I can’t swim, guys,” I said, raising an eyebrow.“Oh… that's true. But th

~Little Ruby's POV~“Rhett?” I stopped laughing as I went under the water. I came up a little while later, feeling scared and weak. “Mum! Help! I think Rhett is drowning!” I screamed, my voice shaky with fear.Mum jumped out of her chair so fast it looked like she flew. She ran to the pool and, without thinking twice, dove right in—even though I knew she didn’t know how to swim. My heart pounded so hard I thought it would jump out of my chest.I swam toward Rhett as fast as I could. Mum splashed wildly beside me, and together, we grabbed him and pulled him to the shallow end of the pool. I could barely breathe by the time we got him out.Rhett coughed and blinked, sitting up. “Whoa… that was close,” Mum said, gasping for air.“It sure was!” I said, relieved but still shaking. “You scared us, Rhett!”“Sorry…” Rhett muttered, rubbing his head. Then he looked at Mum. “Wait, Mum… you’re swimming!”I turned to her, and suddenly, her face changed. Her eyes widened, and she looked at the w

~Ruby's POV~I blinked, feeling confused, as I looked down at my twins. They were holding onto me tightly, their small arms wrapped around me as if I was the only thing keeping them safe. My body felt weak, and my thoughts were jumbled, but I managed to lift my hands and gently place them on their heads.“I’m okay,” I whispered, though my voice was barely audible, hoarse from whatever had just happened.“Don’t scare us like that again, Mum,” little Ruby said, her voice trembling as if she was holding back tears. Hearing the crack in her voice broke something in me.“I promise,” I murmured, my lips trembling as I pulled both of them closer. Their warmth was grounding, pulling me back from the abyss I felt teetering on.I glanced up and saw him—Roman—sitting back on his heels, watching us. There was something raw in his expression, something I hadn’t seen before. Relief, maybe, but it was more than that. He looked shaken, like what just happened had hit him almost as hard as it hit me

~Ruby's POV~"And I am his Luna.”The room erupted. Chairs scraped the floor, and voices overlapped each other."You'll drag us all down with him!""Think of the pack, not your pride!""Abel won't wait forever!"I held my ground. "Roman has always protected this pack. You think Abel will show you mercy if you turn on your own Alpha? You’re fools if you believe that."Dorian slammed his hand on the table. "Your loyalty will cost lives!""My loyalty," I said slowly, each word sharp enough to slice the tension around me, "is the only reason you are still standing here arguing and not running for your lives already."A silence fell, heavy and loaded.I saw the fear etched deep into their faces. It wasn’t me they feared. It wasn’t even Roman.It was Abel.Cowards.I felt it in my blood—the old part of me, the part connected to the bond Roman and I shared, still strong even now."If anyone wants to challenge me for the right to speak for this pack, step forward now."Silence.Not a soul mov

~Ruby’s POV~"No, no, Roman!" I yelled, my voice breaking. "This is a mistake! You have to tell them!""Stay with the kids," he said instead, like he already knew there was no talking his way out of this.The enforcer kept going. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law."Roman stayed still as stone."You have the right to an attorney."His hands—those strong hands that had once shielded me, carried me, built a life around me—were now locked behind his back like he was some criminal."If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you."“Someone do something!” I pleaded, spinning toward the council members standing nearby, toward the familiar faces of our pack, hoping—begging—for someone to step in. "This is a misunderstanding!"But they didn’t move. They didn’t even lift their heads.One by one, they dropped their gazes to the ground, shame or fear—or both—etched into their faces. Silent. Powerless. Complici
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 245. Truths and Tensions...
Ruby’s POV“Who the hell was that?” I whispered, though my voice might as well have cracked the tension wide open.The room fell silent after that question. You could feel the tension in the air. I looked at Roman, and he looked back at me with a tight jaw and darker eyes than usual. I hadn’t even noticed I was clenching my fists. The twins across the room stayed completely still, not reacting at all.Roman stepped forward, his voice dropping low but firm. “Wait… why didn’t you two tell us about this?”Little Ruby raised her chin, defiant but not disrespectful. “You wouldn’t have taken us seriously if we did.”Rhett nodded, crossing his arms. “If we didn’t have proof, you'd have thought we were just being paranoid. You all would’ve.”“No, honey. We would’ve listened,” I tried gently, but the moment the words left my mouth, I knew they rang hollow.Little Ruby gave a tiny scoff. “You definitely wouldn’t, Mom.”My chest tightened.“It all started after Aunt Jean died,” Rhett said, voice
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 244. Who?
~Kai’s POV~I crossed the living room, heading toward the counter where I had last dropped my tablet. I was still trying to go over the document but right now, I just needed something smaller and lighter.Except when I reached the table, something felt… off.“Good afternoon, Kai,” two familiar voices chirped in unison.I looked up—and there they were. Little Ruby and Rhett, seated like innocent cherubs on the chair, surrounded by toys and wide-eyed expressions that were just a little too wide.“Afternoon to you, too,” I said, trying not to sound suspicious. “What are you two up to?”“Nothing,” Little Ruby said, fiddling with a small plush bunny.“Just playing with our toys,” Rhett added, stacking blocks as if he were being filmed for a commercial.I nodded slowly, eyes drifting to the table.“Where’s my tablet?”Rhett glanced at his sister.“We have no idea,” Little Ruby said quickly, far too quickly.“Really?” I asked, arching a brow. “Because I left it right here. “Are you sure you
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 243. The List...
~Roman’s POV~I wasn’t even fully out the front door when I caught sight of Kai’s car pulling into the driveway. I stopped, watching as he parked with none of his usual chill. That was my first red flag.Kai wasn’t just my Beta or my best friend or just a tech genius—he was my anchor in chaos, always playful, always steps ahead. But right now? The way he slammed the car door and stalked toward me… something was off.I didn’t even need to ask. “What’s going on, Kai?”He glanced around briefly, eyes sharp, voice low. “We need to talk. Like, right now.”I nodded and gestured toward the house. “Alright. Let’s go inside.”“No. Somewhere private.”That made my stomach twist a little. Kai never needed “private” unless it was something massive—something ugly.As we made it into the house, he scanned the hallway like a detective on edge. “Where’s Ruby?”“Probably upstairs or around. Why?”Kai didn’t stop walking, just muttered, “She should be here too.”I frowned. “You can just tell me. I’ll p
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 242. Back at the Council Tables...
~Roman's POV~I woke up suddenly, heart racing and sweat dripping down my forehead. I was breathing heavily, as if I’d been running in my sleep. Abel's smirk was all I could see behind my closed eyes, clear as day. Even though he was behind bars in my dream, I felt the real sense of being trapped. I could still hear his voice echoing in my mind.“You’re building a kingdom you can’t control, little brother.”I ran a hand down my face, shaking off the memory. Just a dream. Just a dream. I glanced at the digital clock blinking on the nightstand: 9:42 a.m. Damn early for this much mental chaos.Beside me, Ruby stirred softly, her arm slipping over my chest. Her fingers brushed my skin absentmindedly, warm and grounding. I turned to her, letting the sight calm me—dark lashes resting on her cheeks, that faint line between her brows when she dreamed. She looked peaceful, untouched by the nightmare that had clawed through my head. I let out a long breath and tucked a strand of hair behi
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 241. The Lady in the Shadows...
~Little Ruby’s POV~It was really, really late when the ceremony ended. My eyes were so sleepy that they kept trying to close on their own. Rhett was walking like a zombie beside me. The grown-ups said goodbyes and thank-yous, but all I wanted was a pillow and a blanket.“Are we not going home?” I asked, rubbing my eyes.Mom looked at Dad—well, and they did that grown-up eye talk thing.“Not at all,” Mom said, fixing my hair gently.“It’s late already. We’ll deal with all that tomorrow. For now, you have to rest,” Dad said, and his voice sounded kind of soft like it did when he used to read us stories.They led us into the guest room together and tucked us in—one by one. Mom kissed my forehead, and Dad did the same.“Alright then, have a good night,” she whispered.“Goodnight, kiddos,” Dad added, and the light clicked off.Now we were alone. And my eyes are wide open. I tried to sleep. I really did. But my brain didn’t wanna listen.Because I saw her.That lady.The one from the party
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 240. A Night to Remember...
~Little Ruby’s POV~Few hours ago…“Come on, kids, we're running late!” Aunt Helen's voice echoed from the living room.I pulled my socks on in a rush. “Coming, Aunt Helen!” Rhett shouted before I could say it first.I pouted as I looked in the mirror. “We should’ve just slept over after the wedding,” I said, brushing my hair quickly.Rhett sat on the bed, trying to fix his shoelace. “Oh yeah? And we couldn’t just because you forgot your gown.”I narrowed my eyes. “So you’re trying to put the blame on me?”He shrugged like it was nothing. “Not exactly. But we do know whose fault it was.”Before I could throw my hairbrush at him, the door swung open.“Oh you two,” Aunt Helen said, her hands already on her waist. That meant trouble. “On your feet. Now.”We both jumped up like soldiers. Rhett almost tripped over his own shoe.“Remind me again—why are we going there?” Rhett asked as he walked out behind her.“I thought the wedding was done,” I mumbled, still grumpy.Helen turned to us as
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 239. Luna Ascends...
~Ruby’s POV~Sunlight streamed into the room, shining brightly through the light, flowing curtains that danced in the breeze. I blinked slowly and felt the soft silk sheets against my skin, reminding me that I wasn’t in my old home anymore. This place felt new, different, and—most importantly—safer.Being back here in the Silver Frost Pack House brought back memories—memories that I’ve tucked down deep in the abyss of my mind. But none of that mattered as much as the warmth that pulsed quietly through my heart. A warmth I hadn’t felt in years.I sat up, running a hand through my hair, exhaling deeply. The scent of sage, firewood, and freshly baked bread drifted in from somewhere down the corridor. Even with the grandeur surrounding me, it wasn’t the luxury that settled my nerves—it was the laughter I could hear in the distance. The twins. Safe. Happy.And Roman.A soft knock echoed from the door before it cracked open. “You’re awake,” came his voice, deep and calm.He stepped insid
