The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-Zero-Seven: Lewis
The sun feels brilliant against my skin. Thank heavens for a break from that dull and mundane room. My mind drifts to the hunk who announced himself as my fiancé. Green eyes, tall, buff and chiselled with mussed dark brown hair, a scar and a dangerous aura—Katherine...you did it right. A smile crosses my lips as I imagine the kind of naughty and not-so-naughty things would get into to pass the time. The heat clawing up my skin makes me feel like giving myself to him, but even I know he might not be okay with me like this. I hate the guilt of disappointing him when I don’t recall the time we spent together and the moment we fell in love or, worse, some critical matters like what if he has allergies, and I almost kill him because I forgot them? Are those with amnesia permitted to date and get married without critical information? The nurse pushes the wheelchair toward the left path, and the sound of the water splashing from the fountain, coupled with the breeze carrying the scent of
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-Zero-Eight: Ocean
It's been a week since my discharge from the hospital. My house with Lewis is huge and unfamiliar with only two permanent staff, a maid who, it seems, was paid not to talk to me and a gardener; the rest come on demand. Among the things I adore about it is that it overlooks the ocean.I love the smell of the ocean, the salt and sand, the sulphates and heat...it reminds me of a home I am not certain that I can reach anymore.What is that feeling? A homesickness for a place one does not know.Funnily enough, sometimes I find myself hating the scent, the loudness of the waves, the tides that ruin our fence, the heavy storms the sea causes and the terrifying inky darkness that consumes it when the moon is not out.It is a weird love-hate relationship that leads me to spend most of my mornings gazing out the window because, despite how I feel about it, it’s there, it's stable, and it’s the only thing that feels real.My life doesn’t feel real.My wardrobe is filled with clothes that do not
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-Zero-Nine: Stalker
“Okay, okay, I won't call you that, but are you okay? You look as if you are in pain.”The man says as he moves with ease behind the counter.The words ‘employees’ only do not cross my lips because his proximity only adds to the pain. His large, cold hands arrest mine that claw at my hair before securing my wrists with one of his hands and resting his free hand on my cheek.The pain does not cease, but he feels good, yet...isn’t he too close to an engaged woman? Can he not see the ring on my finger?"Are you okay?"He asks again.My push from him doesn't amount to much; he is far stronger than I am.His cologne smells deathly familiar, I hate that it adds to my throbbing headache; I hate even more that it elicits a certain melancholic feel.Another ring sounds from the bell above the door before the scent of honey floods the room, lulling my headache away."Did I miss something?"Lewis’s voice fills the room, earning my instant attention."Lewis."I call as I detach myself from the co
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-One-Zero: Mr Lewis
Dominic J LewisDominic slammed his hands against his steering wheel before a groan left his lips.Everything felt fucked.His gaze glowered at his hands that shook against the wheel; he never felt fear so potently that his body trembled. At least he had never felt that way until he met ‘Ruby’. Since she came into his life, every event served as a reminder that he was but a frog in a well.How? How could he fear another wolf this badly?It wasn’t normal; there was something off about her husband.‘I can recognise my wife better than you can recognise your opponent.’The words played into his head once more, shuddering him.Why was it that when her husband spoke those words to him, he felt as if he were submerged and suffocating in deep and inky oceanic waters that no matter how much he struggled, no sound left him?Alphas were not supposed to have such abysmal powers; he never felt that way, even when Vivian’s father threatened to kill him. ‘…unlike you, I don’t need to reek of gunpo
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-One-One: Conspiracy
What did she just say...?Am I having a stroke? Did the maid before me threaten me?“Christina, what is my position here?”I ask as I near her.“You are the fiancé of Mr Lewis.”“Did you threaten me with a courthouse wedding when I do not even wish to marry at all?”“You will get married, Madam; I only wish to make it easier for you.”My mouth hangs open—this is the same as speaking to a wall, only unlike Lewis, she leaves no impression of doubt.I want to fire her, but do I even have the power to do so? No, even if I fire her, wouldn’t she say something along the lines of ‘only Mr Lewis’ can fire me?Am I really going to be one of the women who depend entirely on their partners for power within the household?"Madam?"The maid calls when I turn away from her and head to the door.It's late, I know. To add to that, I don’t have any cash on me, and I would prefer not to use the driver ‘Mr Lewis’ assigned to me, so a long walk with no destination it is."Ma'am!"The maid calls again whe
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-One-Two: Smoke Out
If he is this good at lying, then how many of his lies have I believed?"I'll take care of it, don’t worry about it."He utters as he leans in to kiss me. I wince slightly before he pulls away and tugs the sheets to stare at my swollen wrist.“My men did this?”He asks as a dark expression crosses his face for a fleeting second before his thumb caresses the inside of my swollen wrist, making me shudder, so I pull away before my body yearns for him.“It’s just a scratch, but uh, Lewis, I don't want any more people under the guise of ‘security’ around me.""But you need security, honey. Your ex is back in the picture, and I don't want you getting hurt."He explains sweetly; his use of ‘honey’ makes my heart flutter."You think he will find me here? In the middle of nowhere?""It's for your safety. I don't want to risk it."Wow... it's like talking to a brick wall."Right…my safety. Well, honey, you are on the bed with outside clothes; we talked about this. The bed is a pyjama zone only.
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-One-Three: 'Mallory'
"Ma'am! Ma'am!" My eyes open, but the slight twinge of pain that typically follows unrestful sleep, however, protests heavily to keeping them open. "Mm, what?" I groan as I try to wave the lights away. "You need to get ready for the venue trip." The new maid, Gina, is no different from Christina—A new name but the same habits. "What time is it?" I ask groggily as I try and peer outside, but my curtains are still drawn. Considering they needed to turn on the lights, the sun is most definitely not out yet. "It's four a.m., but-" "Are you kidding me? Four? The appointment was at eight. I get that you want a promotion, but this is not the way…" I groan as I shrink deeper into the bedding. My world may be burning, but nothing beats a good night's rest. "Yes, at eight, but we meet them at quite a distance, so it would be best if we got started ear-" "Didn't you say they were coming to meet me here? Stop changing the narrative, Christina two." "The plans have changed, madam." "U
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-One-Four: 'Maya'
Ruby M. CliveFather’s large hand presses against my neck ensuring no more air can cross to my lungs, my hands feel so small compared to his as I try to pry him from me.I don’t want to die."It's these eyes!"Father spits, the green in his gaze holding his venom too unmistakably.Father hates me? Why? Mother said that he would accept us if I behaved properly. I didn’t make a mistake! I swear."These eyes are not a Clive's! This is not my child, you whore."His breath is pungent and repulsive, but I try my best not to show it as Mother rushes to Father; her eyes are laden with tears that fall easily when she grips him and pleads that he lets me go, but his hold on my neck only grows tighter.“Stop it!!”Mother screams, but all too soon, darkness finds me, followed by the harrowing sound of Mother’s scream."You killed her! you killed our child, you monster!"Her cry saddens me, so I make a wish to my wolf—please, let us be a family again.**Two people peer at my bed; it's late, and t
