The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 133. Unwanted Help...
~Ruby's POV~“Roman?” I blinked, barely believing he was standing in front of me.“Good morning, Ruby,” he said in a neutral, almost unreadable tone.I glanced back into the house, then stepped outside, pulling the door shut behind me. “What are you doing here?” I asked in a hushed voice.“I just wanted to make sure you and the kids are safe,” Roman said simply.I scoffed, crossing my arms. “Are you our guardian angel now or what? The danger is over there, not here, Roman.”“Maybe,” he admitted, his gaze steady. “But I needed to make sure you weren’t tracked or followed here.”I studied his face, trying to figure out what he wasn’t saying. “Oh, I see. So you drove to the airport, booked a flight and flew all the way here—” I paused, narrowing my eyes, “—all just to check on us?”“Yeah, exactly,” Roman said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.A small scoff left my lips, followed by a reluctant smile. “That’s… nice, I must say.” I nodded, pressing my lips together. “Guess

~Ruby's POV~Helen sat facing me with her arms crossed, her face giving away nothing. "So, what should we do now?” she asked.I exhaled slowly, running a hand through my hair. “We’re going to reject the contract.”Helen’s brows shot up. “We are?” she asked in confusion. “But it’s too late for that already. The agreement is practically sealed.”“It’s still my choice,” I said firmly. “I don’t have to go through with it.”Helen shook her head, clearly unimpressed. “Come on, Ruby. I don’t buy this whole rejecting-the-contract thing.”I scoffed. “Can’t you see? He had this all planned, Helen.”Helen gave me a sceptical look. “We can’t be sure of that. And I definitely didn’t know it was his company when I accepted. Think about it—you’re going to lose a lot of clients if you let personal feelings interfere with business. And it’s perfect to get new clients.”I frowned, thinking it over. Helen had a point. My company had built a reputation for professionalism, and backing out now would send

"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

If you're wondering how it all led to this moment, where Roman is staring at the twins with wide eyes and confusion, it’s time to revisit the past. The story that began not with love, but with a fateful marriage of convenience, where neither Roman nor I could have foreseen what would come next.SEVEN YEARS AGO"Do you, Ruby Blackwood, take Alpha Roman Wilder D’Angelo as your loving husband...?" The priest's voice echoed in my ears.My heart skipped a beat as he read out the vows, each word drawing me deeper into a reality I had not chosen.How did I end up in this situation? Marrying someone I'm meeting for the first time today, a man I know only by reputation—powerful, ruthless, and feared by all.The truth stung even more because it should have been my cousin, Esperanxa, standing here today, not me.She was meant to be the one sacrificed as a bride to secure my uncle's alliance with the D’Angelo pack."Ruby?" The mention of my name snapped me back to the present. The faces around me

I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came. My throat felt tight, and my brain scrambled to make sense of the chaos spinning inside me. The dull pounding in my head grew louder, syncing with the frantic beat of my heart.How did this happen? The last thing I remembered clearly was his lips on mine, and then—my gaze drifted down to where the sheets barely covered Roman's body.Oh God. What had we done?"What the hell are you doing in my bed?" Roman repeated sharply as he pushed himself up. His emerald eyes were no longer hazy with alcohol but hardened with confusion—and maybe regret."I—I don't know," I stammered, instinctively pulling the sheets up to cover myself. Heat flooded my cheeks as flashes of last night hit me like a freight train. The kiss, the roughness of his touch, the hardness of his member in me, the feverish way we collided into each other, desperately seeking something neither of us could define. And now this—the cold, harsh reality of daylight exposing everythin

The cab's tires crunched on the gravel as it pulled up outside the mansion. My mansion—or at least, it had been. Now it stood like a mausoleum of my father’s legacy, taken over by a man who had no right to the empire my father built.I fumbled with the money and paid the driver, my fingers still trembling from the shock of Roman’s rejection. My entire world had collapsed in the space of a few hours, and now I had nowhere to go but back to the house I once called home. As I handed the driver the cash, I caught my reflection in the window. I looked like a complete stranger with my pale, drawn face. My long black hair, which is usually neatly combed, was tangled, and my eyes were red and puffy from holding back tears."Thanks," I muttered as I climbed out, my legs still unsteady. The driver gave a curt nod, and as the cab pulled away, I stood frozen, staring at the mansion. The last time I was here, I had been forced into a marriage I didn’t want, but now... what was I? A castaway. U
Last Updated : 2024-10-08The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 005. I'm sorry?...
“Ruby… why do they look like me?”The question hit me like a punch to the gut. I felt the blood drain from my face as I looked up to meet Roman’s gaze, his dark eyes filled with confusion—and something else I couldn’t quite place. For a moment, I was frozen. I couldn’t find the words, couldn’t even think of how to respond. But I had no intention of answering that question here, not in front of my children.I stood up, holding Rhett and Ruby’s hands tightly, pulling them closer to me. “Come on, Rhett. Come on, Ruby. We’re leaving.” My voice was steady, though my heart was racing.“Wait… Ruby,” Roman said, taking a step toward us, his voice more urgent now. “You haven’t answered my question.”I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. My children were my priority—always. I tightened my grip on their hands and continued walking toward the exit. “Hey!” Roman’s voice grew louder, frustration creeping into his tone. I felt his hand wrap around my arm, pulling me to a stop. “Ruby, I’m talking to you.”I

ROMAN'S POV“Ruby, hold on. Don’t go yet. Don’t we need to… like… talk?” I asked, hoping she would agree.Instead, she shook her head, trying to free herself from my grip. “I don’t think we have much to say. I would have said it was nice seeing you after all these years, but your presence just made things more complicated. Saying those words, I felt the same way I had felt over 7 years ago. As soon as she said those words, she turned to her children. “Come on, my loves. Let’s go home.”As they turned away, her soft voice echoed amidst the chaos of my heart. I stood frozen, watching her disappear with children clasped tightly in her hands. I stood rooted to the spot, the initial intention of heading to the restroom long forgotten. Now, all I could think of was her, of going after her, and not letting this opportunity slip through my fingers once again. Memories of that one day we spent flooded my mind.The day I hurt her, the way it all went down seven years ago. She stood there,

~Ruby's POV~By morning, I had packed our bags, and before the sun had fully risen, we were already on our way to the airport. Roman had been quiet when we left—he hadn’t argued, hadn’t fought me on it. But I could feel his disapproval like a heavy weight pressing against me.The kids were excited about the trip, chatting nonstop on the plane, but I could tell they were trying to ignore the deeper reason behind our sudden departure.Hours later, we landed in Howling Heights.As we stepped out of the plane, the fresh air hit me like a comforting embrace, carrying the familiar scent of pine and earth. It had been too long since I’d been back.A sleek, black, and unfamiliar car was parked just ahead.“Mum, did you book a cab?” Little Ruby asked, tugging on my sleeve.“Yeah,” I replied, glancing at my phone. “But it’s still two minutes away.”Before I could question anything further, the car door opened, and a tall, blonde-haired man stepped out.For a moment, my breath caught in my thro
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 131. Made My Decision...
~Ruby's POV~The morning light streamed through the shattered windows, casting uneven patterns across the chaos we were still struggling to fix. The living room was chaotic. Pillows were ripped apart, furniture was overturned, and shards of glass sparkled spookily in the sunlight. It had looked like this since last night when we came home to find everything in disarray.I tied my hair up in a messy bun and sighed, dusting off a chair before pushing it back into place. The kids worked beside me, picking up books and scattered papers. We were making progress, but the house still felt violated, like an open wound refusing to heal.Then the doorbell rang.We all froze, exchanging quick glances.“I’ll check it,” I said before either of them could protest.They nodded hesitantly, their gazes following me as I walked toward the door. My heart pounded a little faster than usual, my fingers tightening around the doorknob as I cracked the door open.Roman.His dark eyes studied me carefully,

~Ruby's POV~“Alright, there’s still time. This could work,” I said, turning back into the kitchen. “You both go get dressed—we’re going shopping.”Their eyes lit up with excitement as they jumped on a spot. “I don’t have a problem going like this,” Rhett said, glancing down at his clothes.I nodded in agreement. “Yeah, that’s true.”“But I definitely do,” Little Ruby protested, already making a beeline for the hallway.“Oh no, no, no, no.” I quickly reached out and stopped her, placing my hand on top of her head. “Yours is perfectly fine.”“But Mum—”“It’s just a quick trip to the store, nothing more.”“That’s what you always say,” she grumbled, folding her arms.Rhett smirked. “Besides, it’s not like you’re going out there to find a boyfriend.”“Ewwww! Definitely not, Rhett!” Little Ruby shot back, making a face of pure disgust.“So what’s the big deal?” I asked, shaking my head.“You always have to look your best.” She gave me a cheeky grin. “And who knows… maybe I will see a boyf

~Ruby's POV~The past few days had been eerily quiet—no threats, no signs of danger lurking in the shadows. It was almost too quiet, but I refused to let paranoia rule my life. After much back and forth with Roman, arguing and declining his protests, I had finally convinced him to let me and the kids return home.As we pulled into the driveway, I could feel Roman’s tension from the driver’s seat. He scanned the area with sharp, trained eyes, his senses heightened, searching for anything out of place. I knew what he was doing—even though everything seemed normal, he wasn’t convinced.We stepped out of the car, and the kids rushed ahead excitedly.“Are you sure this is a good idea, Ruby?” Roman asked, his voice low but firm.I turned to him with a reassuring smile. “If it weren’t, I wouldn’t have attempted it.”His jaw clenched slightly. “But we can’t say for sure.”Before I could respond, Little Ruby tugged at my sleeve. “Mum, is everything okay?”I looked down at her bright, innocen

~Ruby's POV~“These files contain everything—videos, recordings, photos, and documents—about an illegal operation.”I stiffened.Kai looked at me carefully before continuing, “An illegal operation your dad stumbled upon.”My heart stopped.“Wait… what?” I stared at Kai, my stomach twisting in knots. “My dad would never be involved in something illegal.” My voice wavered between disbelief and confusion.Kai leaned forward, his face calm but serious. “That’s the point, Ruby. He wasn’t involved. I think he was gathering information on the people who were.”I swallowed hard, glancing at Roman, who was just as focused. “You think so?” Roman asked cautiously.“With the way things are looking, yes.” Kai clicked through a series of images on his laptop. “Look at how these pictures are taken. The distance, the angles—”I squinted at the screen. The grainy images showed shadowy figures in what looked like an empty warehouse, the glow of headlights illuminating a large truck.

~Ruby's POV~Roman and I woke up early, the warmth of the evening breeze slipping through the curtains. After a quick shower, we dressed and made our way downstairs, the scent of food drifting from the kitchen.As we entered the living room, I immediately spotted Rhett, little Ruby, and Kai sitting on the couch, completely engrossed in the cartoons playing on the TV.I adjusted my shirt, smoothing out the wrinkles, and schooled my face into a neutral expression.Little Ruby was the first to notice us. She turned her head, a sly smile creeping onto her lips. “Oh, they’re finally out.”“Finally,” Rhett added dramatically, stretching his arms. “About time.”Kai smirked but said nothing, his eyes flickering between Roman and me with barely concealed amusement.Little Ruby sat up straighter, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “Sooo… I guess the massage was a success?”I inhaled sharply. These kids.“You two, come here. Now,” I said, crossing my arms, my voice firm.Little Ruby and Rhett imm

RUBY'S POVSlowly, passionately, Roman kissed me as his hand trailed down my body.His fingers traced my breasts, my nipples, making me shiver, before moving lower, across my stomach, to the place where I needed him most.He stroked me, his fingers teasing, tantalizing, sending sparks of pleasure shooting through me.He continued his sweet torment, his mouth claiming mine, swallowing my moans.A shiver ran through my body causing goosebumps across my skin, sending tingles downwards along with wave after wave of pleasure crashing upon my wet shores.The heat rising from deep within my core intensified with each passing minute until finally, I felt an intense burning desire take control of my senses, for
