The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Twenty-Five: Anticlimactic.
Adrian M. Knox"How can she get to school this late?"His mother questioned as she plated a second helping for him.It was his fault; firstly, he waited till the afternoon to travel, and secondly, at her insistence that she wished to visit his mother, he made the trip home first as opposed to school.On all counts, he knew that he was at fault.He couldn’t ‘not’ yield to her.Even if it meant that he would pick Ruby up late."I need to go pick up my wife.""The wife you will not introduce us to?”His mother asked as she shook her head, something she always did when she assumed he was telling a lie.Without awaiting his defence, she continued.“Adrian, have you ever seen Elaine ask for something?"He sighed before answering his mother."No.""Then, let her stay the night with us. The whole family missed her, and she is a top student, so-""So, I can catch up easily."Elaine added from the door as she invited herself to the kitchen, making the scent of food vanish to her delightfully su
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Twenty-Six: Beta
The wounds on my body are fully sealed; I am not bleeding anymore. The bruises have vanished, but the scars will remain for a day or two.The only problem is my hand.Fixing the dislocation was easy, but that's not saying much for the broken bone.I slide down the tub filled with warm water and open my eyes from beneath.The ceiling seems to move with the ripples of the water, almost as if it were not real; hell, I would give anything for this to be a nightmare I haven’t woken up from.The longer I hold my breath beneath the water, the more my lungs burn.But I like the burn because, like this, I feel as if I can turn off the world.As if I were in control and in just a second, I could disappear.In the woods...I didn't want to die.Was it a survival instinct? Because I don't mind it so much now...What about in the future? When I leave Ketria, will I still feel this way?No, I’ll have Elle.The thought brings me to the surface of the water. The air rushing to my lungs chokes me.Elle
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Twenty-Seven: Deranged
"What?"The word from the Alpha’s lips does not sound like a question; he heard me; his ‘what’ sounds more like a dare.As if he was daring me to repeat my question.Then again, I could be wrong; it could be that I have interpreted the intensity of his gaze wrongly."Leon, your beta.”I repeat, turning to face him from the door.“Can I fuck him? I want to.""No..."He utters in a dangerous whisper as he stands from his seat ever so slowly.Why? Why is he standing? I can take the no by itself.An urge to swallow finds my tongue; that must be why I swallow the dryness in my mouth, not out of nervousness at his dangerous aura and the sudden loudness of his scent.My hand finds my throat before a cough escapes me.I feel like I am suffocating, yet…my body breathes just fine."No! No, you cannot fuck my beta. Are you sick?"He continues his voice louder as if he were not clear in his whisper."Sick? I only asked permission; wouldn’t it be worse if I didn't and proceeded to seduce him?"“Se
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Twenty-Eight: Resist
His eyes lower to my lips, no doubt perplexed by the smile that I cannot seem to keep at bay.It could be my imagination, but his face draws closer to mine, and his grip on my neck lessens, not that it matters; I am already certain his hand will leave a bruise that will again keep me indoors for longer than I wish."Mua..aas."The instant I pry the name from my constricted throat, his grip opens. If it were not for the door’s support, I would have crumbled to the ground.A series of coughs escapes my lips as oxygen rushes into my airway.He doesn't apologise. He doesn't even feign concern; merely waits for my coughing to subside and then tilts my chin to meet his face.He wants to issue a warning, I can tell.I despise how his height permits him to look down on me with ease; it's even worse that the coughing has wet my eyes.I must look pathetic in his gaze."Did you like that...me calling you Muaas as she does. Or do you hate it from my lips because I am not below the age of eighteen
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Twenty-Nine: Winter
Adrian M KnoxHis body was on fire; everything within Adrian felt as if it were melting. Her scent watered his mouth, and her sex squeezed him so perfectly that his rock into her elicited another and another that he could not control.He had no protection on him. His life could change in a matter of seconds, and he would be pronounced a father to a child he was certain he would have trouble accepting, but he couldn't bring himself to stop.She clung to him, her lips on his, her moans echoing and vibrating against his mouth, and her hands around him.He did not mean to slam her back against the door, but he needed more; he needed to move faster.The kiss's break caused her eyes to flutter open again, holding him captive in their unnatural shade.Her hands toyed with his hair, and for a moment, he waited for her objection; he would stop if she insisted...right?No... he couldn't, and he wouldn't risk her halting him either.With that decision echoing in his being, his lips found hers ag
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Thirty: Pity F*ck
"I don't need pink roses in the gardens that face my room."I utter loudly as I step outside, my heavy breath condensing in the air’s cold.I should have grabbed a coat, but the sun’s rays shone too deceitfully for that to cross my mind."And good morning to you too, Princess."Beta Leon utters as he shuts the door to his truck after pulling out a few documents.Despite the shuddering breath that leaves me, he seems fine, dressed only in a plain grey t-shirt that rests straining against his muscles and some old brown pants."Couldn’t you find something better to wear?"Ah shit...I didn't mean to say that out loud."For gardening?"He asks, genuine confusion creasing his brows."You ask that as if you plan on doing the digging alone.""Not alone, but I do plan on doing some digging.""Why? Don't you have other responsibilities to tend to as a Beta, as opposed to playing gardener?"A smile creeps up his face."My word, Princess, it's almost as if you are trying to figure me out.""You v

Adrian M Knox"What?"His hand on hers tightened; even he could tell that his hold would bruise her, but he didn't care. The beat of his heart, the blood humming in his veins and the dizziness that claimed him all wanted to wipe the smile off her face.Her wince was slight, but her crimson-stained lips held its annoying smile."Looking for a pity fuck from my beta? After I specifically asked you-"He was so furious that his words came off with a tremble, so he stopped and reconfigured his words so that they did not sound like an angered plea."Ruby...have you forgotten who I am?"He could feel his wolf magnify his sense of betrayal such that even though the Beta's scent was not on her, he believed her filthy words."Is everything okay?"The Beta's concern sounded, and his eyes whirled to the man standing next to his truck; when did he even leave his seat?"What the hell were you doing with my wife?""Oh...we just went to get flowers from the outskirts of Dermont. She didn't like the p
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Thirty-Two: Mother
The small green-eyed lump ran straight into my arms from the brown-haired woman holding her as if she were baggage.“Uby!”Elle raises her hands in an ‘up’ motion; it's hard to say no to her, especially when her innocence is plastered on her face."Sally, I presume."I utter as I lift the warm bundle that immediately begins to play with my hair."Ruby?""Yes, I am the one you spoke to on the phone. I’d welcome you in for some tea, but your engine is still running.”She offers a sheepish smile to my statement, and as if that’s not bad enough, I can see luggage in the door she left open."Yes, I am in a bit of a hurry, but you did say I could still see her?"She asks.For all her crying, I never expected that she would try to skip town immediately after signing over her custody of Elle to me."For now, she will be in a boarding school for less than a year, at most ten months. But once everything settles down, then, yes, you can still see her."I answer humouredly.I will not see her aga
