The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 188. Dangerous Invitation...
~Ruby’s POV~"Over here, everyone, I think I found something," Kai announced triumphantly, his fingers still flying across the keyboard."Finally!" Esperanza groaned as she pushed past Keely and dashed into the livingroom. Her excitement was obvious.Keely followed immediately, brushing off her jeans as she leaned in.I took the seat beside Kai, scooting closer and fixing my eyes on the laptop screen. My pulse quickened. This was it."What do we have here?" I asked, barely keeping my voice steady.Helen and Roman re-entered the room, standing behind Kai with tense expressions."Give me some space, you all," Kai grumbled, his fingers clicking aggressively on the keyboard. "I need air.""Sorry, Kai," Roman smirked. "You won’t be getting any. We’re all just as tense as you."Kai exhaled dramatically, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he focused, scrolling through the data on his screen."Alright, so we have…" He trailed off, his eyes scanning rapidly.Everyone leaned in as the information l

Ruby's POVI still didn’t understand why we had to do this together.I leaned back against the car seat, arms crossed, watching the city lights blur past through the window as Roman drove. The smooth sound of the engine filled the stillness around us, but my thoughts were buzzing with questions."This is unnecessary, you know," I finally said, turning to him. "I could’ve just gone with Helen, and you could’ve gone with Kai or—literally anyone else."Roman kept his eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel, the other casually resting against the gear shift. His lips twitched like he was expecting me to say that."I wanted your opinion on what to pick," he said simply.I scoffed. Right. "My opinion? That’s just an excuse. You just want to spend more time with me."Roman smirked. "Perhaps so. And I need to look charming and all of that."I raised an eyebrow. "I should’ve known. To impress and attract more girls, right?"Roman exhaled dramatically, shaking his head. "Oh, come on, Ruby. It’s

~Roman’s POV~The day was going almost well… at least as I expected it would go. Ruby looked as uncomfortable as I felt amused."Alright, let’s get this over with," she muttered, already moving toward the dresses like she was marching to war.I followed behind, hands in my pockets, completely at ease.She pulled a black gown from the rack, holding it up in front of her. "What about this one?"I tilted my head, pretending to think. "Hmm. Too safe."She scoffed. "Too safe? You just want an excuse to keep me in here longer, don’t you?"I smirked. "Maybe."She groaned, dramatically rolling her eyes. "Next."She picked another dress. I judged that one, too.And the next.And the next.It was fun—too much fun.But really? I just wanted her to look perfect. Not just because of the event. Not just because of the mission.Because she deserved to be the most stunning woman in that damn room.Eventually, she gave up with a loud sigh and shoved a handful of dresses into my arms. "Fine. You pick.
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-19The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 191. Inappropriate?...
Ruby’s POVThis was all his fault.If Roman hadn’t insisted on this whole ridiculous “taking turns” thing, I wouldn’t have been in this situation.One second, I was reaching for the zipper at the back of the dress, and the next, my foot twisted awkwardly in these damn heels. My ankle gave out, and suddenly, gravity was having its way with me.“Shit!” I gasped as I stumbled forward. My arms flailed, grasping at nothing but air.And then—I didn’t hit the floor.Instead, I collided with something solid. Warm. Unyielding.Roman.His arms were locked around my waist, his grip strong and steady as if catching me had been second nature. My fingers had instinctively curled into the fabric of his shirt, and for a moment, all I could do was breathe, trying to process what had just happened.His scent—masculine, fresh, with that faint hint of cedarwood and something uniquely him—wrapped around me, making my already racing heartbeat go into overdrive.I swallowed hard, suddenly very aware of jus
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-20The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 192. After Shopping...
~Ruby’s POV~The clear evening air hit my skin as we stepped out of the boutique, the faint scent of expensive perfume still clinging to my clothes. The boutique attendant, poor thing, was still blushing furiously, her eyes darting anywhere but in our direction. I couldn’t blame her—walking in on me half-dressed with Roman standing next to me had clearly been too much for her.Roman, of course, was still revelling in it. His smug expression was practically carved into his face, his lips twitching as he threw one last flirtatious jab my way.“You know, if you needed help getting dressed, sweetheart, all you had to do was ask,” he mused, his voice dripping with amusement.I knew that apology instead of his usual smugness was too true to be true. I exhaled sharply, gripping the handles of my shopping bags a little tighter. “Say one more word, and I swear I’ll introduce my heels to your skull.”His chuckle was infuriatingly smooth, completely unbothered by my threat. “Now, now, no need

~Ruby's POV~I was standing at the kitchen counter, absentmindedly chopping vegetables for dinner, the knife slicing through the soft flesh of a ripe tomato with a satisfying squish. The hum of the refrigerator was the only sound in the otherwise quiet room. I had managed to avoid him for most of the evening, but I knew it wouldn’t last forever. And sure enough, just as I thought I might finally have a peaceful night, he appeared in the doorway.Liam.He stood there for a moment, his frame blocking the light from the hallway. I didn’t look up, trying to keep my focus on the tomatoes, as if I could lose myself in the task at hand. But I could sense him in the room, as if his presence was a heavy weight pressing down on me.“You’re avoiding me,” he accused flatly.I paused, the knife still held in the air. My heart raced, but I didn’t want to give him the pleasure of seeing my reaction right away. So, I finished cutting the tomato before I spoke.“I’m not avoiding you,” I replied, try
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-21The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 194. Night of the Masquerade...
~Ruby’s POV~The scent of expensive perfume and face powder filled the room as Helen leaned in, her fingers steady as she applied the finishing touches to my makeup. The cool brush of powder against my cheek was strangely soothing, though it did little to calm my nerves."Hold still, Ruby," Helen muttered, dabbing at my cheekbone."I'm trying," I sighed, resisting the urge to shift. "But it's hard to focus with those two bouncing around like hyperactive rabbits."Across the room, the twins were a blur of movement—twirling, hopping, and nearly knocking over a lamp in the process. Little Ruby's laughter rang through the air as Rhett spun her in a dramatic circle."Be careful, you two. Don't break anything," Helen warned, arching an eyebrow at them."We won't!" Rhett called back confidently.Helen smirked. "The room can be easily replaced. But I’m not so sure about your bones—or any other part of your body."That made them stop. Mid-spin, Rhett froze, setting Little Ruby back on her feet
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-22The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 195. The Gala...
~Ruby’s POV~The car was running quietly near the entrance, and the sound of the engine was the only thing breaking the tense silence between Roman and me. I sat with my hands clasped in my lap, my fingers pressing into the fabric of my dress. I took a slow breath, trying to calm the nervous energy that was building up inside me.Roman, in the driver's seat, had his phone in one hand and was typing swiftly. I glanced at him, my stomach twisting."We're here." Roman’s message to Kai was sent with a quiet whoosh.A moment later, his phone buzzed."Alright, just go to the entrance and give them the card to scan… I'll take care of the rest."Roman’s fingers hovered over the screen for a second before he replied, "Alright, on it."I swallowed hard, looking up at the venue's grand entrance. The tall, wrought-iron gates loomed before us, flanked by uniformed security guards who looked anything but welcoming. The golden glow from the entrance lights made the entire setting feel even more da

The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 237. Such a Good Girl...
"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
