Ruby’s POV

I swallowed a bite of my food, chewing slowly as I pretended to think over Roman’s words.

"We’ve never really sat down and talked. Like, you know? What this is… between us."

Oh, I knew exactly what he meant.

But I wasn’t going to make this easy for him.

I tilted my head slightly, feigning innocence. "What do you mean?"

Roman’s eyes flickered with something unreadable, but his smirk remained. "Don’t do that, Ruby."

"Do what?" I asked, stabbing my fork into a piece of steak.

He leaned forward, resting his arms on the table, his gaze locking onto mine. "Pretend like you don’t get what I’m saying."

I exhaled slowly, setting my fork down. "Fair enough… but we haven’t really gotten the chance to talk about this with everything that’s been happening."

Roman arched a brow. "We definitely had the chance, Ruby. Before all of this started. You just… never gave me one."

I sighed, rubbing my temple. "Here we go again."

His voice softened, but his intensity remained. "Trying wouldn’t hav

    ~Esperanza's POV~A few moments back…I grabbed my purse, giving myself one last glance in the mirror as I finished applying my lipstick. Keely, however, had her arms crossed, leaning against the dresser with a suspicious look.“Are you sure that’s exactly where you’re going, Esperanza?” she asked, narrowing her eyes at me.I sighed, putting the makeup brush down. “Sure, Keely. Where else could I be going?”“You could be sneaking off to Ruby’s without telling me,” she accused.I turned to face her fully. “Why would I do that?”Keely raised an eyebrow. “Probably to be the first to give her an update on what we discovered.”I gasped dramatically, clutching my chest. “Oh no, no, no! Come on, Keely. I’d never do that.” I paused, dabbing my lips together to set the colour. “We both agreed to tell her together, remember? No two ways about it.”Keely didn’t look convinced. She studied me for a moment before placing her hands on my shoulders. “You sure?”“Absolutely,” I said, giving her my b

    ~Ruby's POV~“Actually, what are you two doing here?” she asked, her gaze flicking between us.I froze. Shit.For half a second, my brain refused to function. I was totally caught off guard, words dying on my tongue as I scrambled for something—anything—to say.“Umm…” I started, stalling. I could feel Roman’s eyes on me, and I knew he wasn’t going to help me out of this. “It was actually unplanned. We, uh—” I forced a laugh, waving a hand vaguely. “We coincidentally bumped into each other here.”Esperanza’s brow lifted slightly, but she nodded. “Oooo… coincidence day, I guess.” She looked between us, studying our expressions. “So, you both are just meeting for the first time in a while, or…?”Her words trailed off as her gaze settled on Roman.“Not at all,” Roman said smoothly, his voice carrying that effortless confidence that made my stomach tighten. He turned his head slightly, looking at me. “This isn’t the first time.”I stiffened. Oh, for the love of—Esperanza’s eyes snapped to

    ~Ruby's POV~The restaurant had settled into a quieter rhythm as the lunch rush died down. Just as I was considering how soon I could escape this awkward gathering, Esperanza’s phone buzzed on the table. She glanced at the screen, frowning slightly before picking up the call.“Hello, am I speaking with Esperanza Blackwood?” a voice asked from the other end.Esperanza leaned back in her chair, rolling her eyes playfully. “Yeah… depends on who’s asking.”There was a brief pause before the woman replied, “The lady from the store. Just wanted to inform you that your package is here.”Esperanza let out a breath. “Okay… alright. Be right there.”She ended the call and turned to us, already rising to her feet. “Now, of all times. Let me just quickly get it.”Then, as if realising something, she glanced between me and Roman. “Umm… will you two still be here?”Absolutely not.I didn’t even hesitate. “We were just about to leave,” I said quickly, eager to put some distance between myself and t

Where to?”“Business,” he said simply, his tone giving nothing away.I frowned. “Business? What kind of business?”There was a pause before he responded, “Nothing you need to worry about.”That only made my curiosity spike. “Alright, so when will you be back?”“No idea.”I bit my lip, suppressing a sigh. Of course. That was always the answer.Instead of pushing fur

    "Shut up and kiss me, Isaac."His answering smirk was brief before his lips captured mine again.This time, it was different—there was a hunger to it, an urgency, like he needed me to breathe.Our hands moved faster, our kisses became more heated, until all we could feel was each other.His skin against mine, his heart beating in time with mine.He pulled back, panting, his dark eyes searching mine before going down to stare at my breast."You're so fucking beautiful, Keely," he whispered, almost like a prayer.I flushed, the words washing over me, warming me to my core.Then his mouth was on me again, trailing a path down the curve of my neck, the dip of my collarbone, the swell of my breast.His lips closed around one nipple, sucking gently, eliciting a gasp from me. His hand moved up to palm the other, thumb brushing against the sensitive skin, teasing, taunting.I moaned softly, arching into him, desperate for more."Isaac, please," I breathed."So impatient," he murmured, his eye

    I raised an eyebrow, confused. "What are you doing?""This," he replied simply, before hoisting me over his shoulder."Isaac!" I squealed, caught off guard by the sudden action.He chuckled, patting my ass. "Quiet, love."And then, before I could even comprehend what was happening, he strode across the room, tossed me on the bed, and crawled on top of me.I laughed, reaching up to stroke his cheek. "That was pretty smooth, Isaac.""Why, thank you," he said, grinning.Then he kissed me again.His lips were fire against mine, his body warm and solid above me. His hands roamed my body, touching, teasing, bringing me closer and closer to the edge.I moaned, arching into him, begging for more."Patience," he murmured, his lips curling in a smirk as he entered me, his gaze locked on mine.The feeling was exquisite, but still not enough as only the cap of his member was inside of me."Harder," I moaned.He grunted and thrust hard, fully sheathing himself within me."You're so fucking wet," h

My heart was racing, my hands clutching my chest as I stared wide-eyed at Keely.“What the hell?!” I shrieked, trying to catch my breath.Keely looked just as startled. “What the hell?! What are you two doing here?”Esperanza gaped at her. “What are we doing here? Keely, we live here!”I was still bent over with my hands on my knees as I gasped, “I think I just lost a year off my life.”Esperanza groaned, rubbing her temple. “Okay, seriously, what are you doing sneaking around like this?”Keely straightened, still looking flustered. “I—I thought you were an intruder!”Esperanza blinked. “An intruder? In my own house?”She hesitated before muttering, “Technically, yeah.”I squinted at her, just now noticing the state she was in—her hair a complete mess, her shirt haphazardly buttoned, and she was barefoot.And then it hit me.Esperanza noticed it too.She gasped dramatically, her eyes widening

Her fingers twitched as she adjusted them slightly. “Isaac is gone,” she murmured before letting the fabric fall back into place.I barely registered her words. My mind was still struggling to process what Keely had just said."So we found out that some other council members knew about Mom’s death," Keely continued, lowering herself onto the edge of the bed.I blinked, trying to feign surprise, but I couldn’t quite find the words to respond. My mouth opened slightly, but no sound came out.Esperanza nodded knowingly. “Yeah, same reaction I had when I found out.”I swallowed hard. "Do you mean they knew as in, just like we do? Or were they involved?"Keely exhaled. "I won’t say they were directly involved, but they saw it coming. And they didn’t say a word.”Esperanza crossed her arms. “Not even to Dad.”

    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

    ~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

    ~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

    ~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

    ~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

    ~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

    ~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

    "Want to go for another round? Slowly this time?" he asked, his voice low and husky."Sure."He slowly pulled out, his cock slipping from me. He scooped me up and brought me to sit on his lap. I straddled him, his hard cock pressed against me. He pulled me closer, our lips meeting in a passionate kiss. His hands roamed over my body, cupping my breasts, squeezing gently.He broke the kiss and looked at me, his eyes full of lust."You are so fucking sexy," he murmured, his fingers teasing my already hard and sensitive nipple."Mmm," I moaned, my hips rocking, his cock sliding along my wetness."Do you want me to make you come again?" he asked, his other hand moving between us, his fingers finding my clit."Yes," I gasped, my hips bucking as his fingers stroked over the sensitive bundle of nerves."Such a good girl," he murmured, his teeth nipping at my neck.I moaned, his touch sending jolts of pleasure through me."Are you going to be a good girl and ride my cock until we come together

    "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
