Ruby:

"What's going on between you and him?" Liam demanded, confusion etched across his face.

"Go and play with your friends, okay?" I smiled sadly at the little girl, who nodded her head eagerly. Sensing the tension in the room, she ran off to meet her friends.

I met Liam's gaze, a storm of emotions brewing within me. I knew he didn't deserve any explanation, but there were fragments of our tangled history that could become exposed if I didn't find a way to shut him up.

"It is none of your business, Liam," I retorted, my voice holding a firm resolve as I faced him. Liam's expression hardened with frustration evident in his eyes.

Why does he always like acting like the victim?

"It is my business, Ruby. You're my mate. We have a bond between us, and I deserve to know what's going on." He snapped, escalating the tension in the room, and I let out a mocking laughter at the absurdity of the situation.

Oh, now I am his mate.

"Your mate has died, Liam; isn't that what you told everyone? Sto

    DamianThings weren't going my way, and Ruby's refusal to respond or accept my proposal only fueled my frustration. I needed a mate and Luna—someone who would act like a mother to my daughter for a while until I figured out how to bring her real mother back.Ruby, with her angelic demeanour, seemed like the perfect choice. Surprisingly, my daughter Anna had taken a liking to her, expressing genuine affection without hiding it. It was a shock to realise that Ruby possessed the bravery and kindness to not only stand up for my daughter but also put herself at risk to save other children who meant nothing to her.She had the spirit of a true Luna.My daughter had never approved of any woman I dated in the past, leading to the end of those relationships. However, witnessing her fondness for Ruby, whom she called her angel, brought me joy. I was determined to make Ruby mine, ready to go to great lengths for that chance, especially knowing that the chances of bringing back her mother like I

    Damian My gaze was icy as my attention focused solely on the half-blind mutt who had dared hurt my precious daughter. I held my daughter in one hand and stormed towards the boy, feeling the other children cower as they sensed the impending storm.Without giving him a chance to talk, I barked, "You hurt my daughter! Explain yourself. or I will end your little life in a second!" The boy, trembling, stuttered, "I... I didn't mean to. It was an accident."My grip tightened on Anna, protective instincts in full force. "An accident that leaves my daughter in tears? Unacceptable. You must pay," I sneered.By this time, I could feel people gathering to watch in fear and curiosity, their whispers creating a backdrop to the escalating tension."He wouldn't let me see his face, Daddy," Anna explained, her voice shaky. I turned back to the boy."Is that true? Did you hurt my daughter because she wanted to see your face?" The boy hesitated before nodding."She wanted to see my face and tried to

    Damian:"I-I'm sorry, mister. I didn't mean to hurt your daughter," the boy stammered, tears streaming down his face, causing guilt to tug at my heart a little. Just a little.My anger subsided as I noticed the genuine remorse in his eyes. I sighed, realising that assumptions had clouded my judgement."Apologise to Anna and be more careful next time," I instructed the boy."I'm sorry, Anna," he said respectfully. I could feel the tension lifting, and the children cautiously resumed their play, leaving me to reflect on the importance of empathy in handling delicate situations.Anna clung to me, her tear-streaked face buried against my chest. "Daddy, please, I want to go home." She whimpered, her small arms wrapping around my neck. My heart ached at the sight of her pain, making the guilt that I had once felt for the boy disappear and anger return.I couldn't deny her plea, and I held her tighter, hoping to bring her comfort and reassurance.With Anna in my arms, I turned away from the

    Ruby POVLost in a daydream about Damian and his impending proposal, I stood in the hallway, oblivious to the world around me, until I felt a tap on my shoulder to snap me back to reality.Startled, I turned around to see Sofia with a frown on her lips, and she held a large file that seemed heavy for her hands to carry."Hey Sofia, need help?" I questioned her, hoping to be of assistance to her just like she had been to me by having my back at the sick bay when Madam Nelly started acting crazy.She sighed and rolled her eyes. "No, thank you, but where has your head been all this time? In the clouds? I have been trying to get your attention for more than five minutes. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that Alex is in big trouble.""A-lex? Trouble? What happened?" I asked, my heart pounding with worry."It seems he hurt Alpha Damian's precious daughter Anna. Poor little man has his plate full already and had to face the big bad alpha alone," she explained, concern etched on her face

    Ruby The morning sun cast a warm glow as we approached the entrance of the academy. Walking alongside Alex, I offered a gentle reminder: "Remember what we discussed, son." His response was simple:"Yes, nanny," accompanied by a slight nod."Good," I replied as we entered the academy building. I playfully ruffled his hair, a small gesture to ease the tension that lingered in the air.Truthfully, I was pretending to act calm, but I had been awake all night thinking of a way to escape all of this, but I couldn't come up with one, so I had no choice but to stick to the original plan, which was to act like his nanny.Together, with Alex by my side, we ventured further into the academy, ready to face the day's uncertainties.The hallway greeted us with its usual bustling energy: students preparing for another day of learning. In the distance, I noticed Sofia guiding a group of children towards the entrance of a class. Alex and I walked in her direction; her presence offered a sense of fami

    Damian:"Ruby, are you okay?" Liam asked, his gaze filled with concern, which made me subtly adjust my stance, leveraging my height as an advantage to cast a protective shadow over her.Liam, being about an inch shorter than me, made it quite easy to obstruct his view with the bulk of my frame.Why couldn't he just mind his damn business for once?I could sense Ruby's fear and her reluctance for Liam to come near her, especially in such a vulnerable moment with her son. Guilt filled my heart suddenly, knowing I used her weakness against her, but it was the only way to get her to submit to me.I hadn't conversed much or spent considerable time with Ruby, but her stubborn nature was evident. And with the unfortunate history she had with Liam, it was obvious she had unconsciously erected protective walls around her heart.Getting her to fall in love with me appeared nearly impossible and time-consuming, a luxury I didn't have. Resorting to blackmail seemed to be my only immediate option.

    Damian "We woke up naked in bed together, so what did you think we did all night? Pray? Do not be stupid, Damian; you were drunk, so obviously you didn't remember all the naughty things I did to you... But one thing I can say is that you are truly an alpha male in bed, whether you are drunk or not. You are indeed a bad wolf; the way you screamed while I swallowed that huge dick of yours all at once in my mouth; the way you cum so fast in just three seconds of entering my sweet, delicious pussy, like you called it; the way you made me feel; and after that night, it's no wonder why I got pregnant and have a child for y-""Enough with your lies." I interrupted her before she could finish. "You really have a creative and wild imagination, I must say. Lying is obviously your true talent; you should give up being Luna and take the job of a clown instead." I scoffed, rolling my eyes at her absurd claims, while Lilith's expression shifted from arrogance to frustration."Stop being in denial,

    Ruby.For three days, I've been haunted by the vivid image of their passionate embrace, an intimate scene that unfolded right before my eyes with only a door shielding me from their sight.Following the intense confrontation with Damian and my attempts to avoid Liam, I found myself stuck within the office alongside my son. The need to stay hidden until the tension dissipated kept us locked away, especially when Lilith approached Damian and Liam stormed off with an air of mystery, leaving me hesitant to step out into the aftermath.Even though I had strained my ears in an attempt to hear the conversation between Lilith and Damian, I couldn't make out a word as the office was soundproofed.What annoyed me most was the fact that they made my son go late for his classes, and saying the whole intimate interaction between them was painful to watch would be an understatement, as my heart ached when I saw them caress each other erotically without fear of people passing or minding anyone.

    Adrian;A year laterI stirred awake, smiling sheepishly as the early morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting a gentle glow on my beautiful mate's face. She was cuddled up against me, her warmth bringing me sparks, tingles, and comfort.I grinned as I savoured the peaceful moment, but my tranquilly was short-lived as Hazal began shaking me gently."Adrian," she whispered into my ear, "I need to pee, and we need to get up. We have to be ready for your coronation. You can't be late again."I grumbled, trying to pull her closer. "Can't we just stay here? I can call my parents and have them postpone it."She sighed, clearly exasperated. "This is the third time we've postponed it. Get your lazy ass up.""Five more minutes," I muttered, burying my face in her neck. I started peppering her face with sweet kisses, hoping to distract her. "Just five more minutes."She giggled, trying to squirm away. "Adrian, stop it! We really need to get ready."Ignoring her protests, I continued m

    Hazal. "I thought I would die, Luna. I was so scared," I sobbed, tears streaming down my face as I collapsed into her arms, unable to hold back my emotions.Luna Ruby held me tightly, sensing I was on the verge of breaking. Her embrace felt so motherly and warm, reminding me of my own mother when she was alive."It's okay, Hazal. You're safe now," she said in a soothing voice."I can't move," I whispered, my body trembling with pain. Every muscle ached, and the bruises from Anna's assault throbbed with each breath.Her eyes softened as she gazed at me, and then she began muttering words in a language I couldn't understand. I'd heard rumours about her being a powerful half-witch or werewolf—some called her a hybrid—but I never believed them. However, seeing her hands glow with a warm, healing light that sent comforting warmth through my body, I couldn't help but believe those rumours had some truth.Slowly, the pain began to fade, and the bruises on my skin disappeared, leaving no tra

    Hazal:I was fast asleep in my bedroom, dreaming about my failed life, when the door burst open and warm hands shook me awake."Hazal, Hazal! Miss Anna is calling for you again." Emily yelled, and I groggily opened my eyes, disoriented."What? Where?""I don't know, Hazel. She's not in her room. She's waiting for you in the basement," Emily replied worriedly. I sat up, my heart racing."The basement? Why would she want to meet me there?" I questioned, and Emily hesitated."She said something about her apologising for taking your dress and offering you another one."My eyes widened in surprise. "Another dress? Why would she do that?"What did Anna want from me now? And why was she being so nice all of a sudden? Emily shrugged. "I don't know, Hazal. But be careful, okay?"I nodded slowly, threw off my covers, and followed Emily out of my room, my senses on high alert.As we walked, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked in her dress for the mating ball. "Emily, your dress

    RubyStanding in front of my mate, Damian, I skillfully adjusted his tie. It was a small act of intimacy I had performed for the past twenty years of our life together. My fingers brushed against his chest, sending a flutter through my heart, while his arms encircled my waist, pulling me close as I worked. I felt safe and loved in his embrace."Perfect," I said, stepping back to admire my handiwork.Damian's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "You always make me look my best, Ruby."I smiled back, but my mind was elsewhere. I could feel the tension between Anna and me escalating; all her threats kept playing in my head, and I feared it would come to a head at the mating ball.Damian's gaze narrowed, his eyes piercing mine. "What's wrong, my love? You're stressed about something."I sighed, my shoulders sagging. "Damian, I'm worried about Anna's behaviour," I said, my voice low and concerned. "She's been treating the omega, Hazel, with such disdain. And now, she's become overco

    HazalI passed by Adrian's room on an errand, and I overheard my name mentioned between Luna Ruby and Anna, making me feel like an outsider. The tension between them was overwhelming, and knowing I was partly the reason for their argument filled me with distress.If I had to choose sides, even without knowing the full story, I would always stand by Luna Ruby. She had always been kind and warm, treating everyone with respect, regardless of their rank, but Miss Anna, on the other hand, was harsh, cruel, and unforgiving.Returning to the kitchen, my thoughts wandered back to Adrian. His mother seemed to believe there was something special between us, but I wasn’t so sure. Adrian was kind and handsome, but he was an alpha, and I was just an omega. Could we ever really be compatible?I remembered the kiss we shared, absentmindedly placing my hand on my lips as I recalled the subtle sparks that had flown between us.What happens next?Before I could delve deeper into my thoughts, I felt a p

    Adrian's Pov:"Adrian, where have you been all day?" my mother asked as I walked into the house with Hazel trailing awkwardly behind me. She was seated on the couch, her face lighting up with surprise when she saw me. She rose to her feet; her eyes then shifted to Hazel, and her surprise deepened."Oh, Hazel, hi there.""Mum, I’m not a child. I'm a twenty-year-old adult who can take care of himself," I hissed in irritation, feeling my earlier anger build up. But then I felt a soft hand touch mine and met Hazel's eyes. The rage within me died down instantly.My mother's gaze shifted to Hazel’s hand holding mine, and she raised an eyebrow. Hazel noticed my mom's gaze and blushed, quickly removing her hand from mine as if it had burned her."Luna, you asked me to take Alpha Adrian to the tailor shop, remember?" She muttered shyly, and my mother nodded with a large smile on her lips."Yes, I remember. Thank you, Hazel. And while you're at it, make sure you get a dress for yourself as well

    Adrian-I pushed away my disappointment in Anna and forced a fake smile as I descended the stairs. At the bottom, I spotted Hazel standing awkwardly, and my smile immediately turned genuine as I secretly admired her cuteness."Hey," I said, and she lifted her face, meeting my eyes."H-hey," she stammered, shifting from one foot to another. Together, we walked out of the house. I could feel my palms getting sweaty from the anticipation and nervousness about the upcoming mating ball, a significant event. The thought of Hazel assisting me with my suit fitting added to my nervousness for some reason."So, do you know much about suits?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood as we made our way to the tailor shop."A bit," she replied, her voice still a little shaky. "I’ve helped with fittings before.""Good to know," I said, offering her a reassuring smile. "I appreciate the help."We walked in comfortable silence for a while, the tension from earlier slowly dissipating. I realised this might

    Adrian The next day, the sun was barely up when I headed to the training grounds with my friends. We were sparring, honing our skills, and pushing each other to our limits. In the midst of a particularly intense training session, our pack beta, Daniel, joined us and signalled for us to form our usual circle."Adrian, Jake, step forward. It’s time to test your fighting skills," Beta Daniel said. Jake shot me a smirk as we moved to the centre of the training grounds.Jake was always a bit of a jerk, constantly boasting about his strength and making snide remarks about how I was only in my position because I was the alpha’s son. His words often grated on my nerves, but as usual, I did my best to ignore him.I don't like boasting or displaying my full strength, regardless of my alpha lineage, because I possess inherent strength that surpasses everyone on the training ground, owing to the chief spirit judge residing within me. This spirit enables me to perform supernatural feats. I consci

    Adrian;"Anna, wait!" I called out, jogging after her, hoping she would slow down and listen to me, but she didn’t. Instead, she quickened her pace, her shoulders tense with anger and frustration.This wasn't the first time I found myself running after her, especially after she had a heated conversation with my mother, and I knew it wouldn't be the last. For some unknown reason, she deeply loathed my mom, which made me uncomfortable since I cared about them both.What made everything more frustrating was that neither my parents nor Anna ever explained the reason behind her anger. Whenever I asked, they would all change the subject, which I found slightly annoying.Using my advanced werewolf speed, I quickly closed the distance between us, seeing the determination in her stride."Anna, please stop!" I called again, louder this time. She halted reluctantly when we reached the front of the house, aware that I would follow her even into her room, invading her privacy. She hated that.She
