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. The
RubyAlex, the child of the alpha, and Luna of the Diamond Pack.My mouth hung open as I blinked twice to make sure I wasn't seeing double. My son's name was clearly written on the front page of the file, along with the day I had given birth to him. An unexpected emotion surged within me as I opened the file carefully, only to find conflicting information.Someone had altered the record, changing the status from alive to dead. The worst part was that the reason for his death wasn't indicated, which I found highly suspicious. Frustration and confusion clouded my thoughts. Who would do such a thing, and why? I had to find a way to talk to Dr. William again, as he was still my number one suspect in this case, and only he could answer my questions. I could remember vividly how he avoided my eyes when he told me the sad news about my son's death.Strangely, ever since I came back to the pack, I haven't run into him like I was hoping to; it was like he had vanished into the air. But now, a
Ruby:The corridor to Liam's private office was dimly lit, creating long shadows that danced along the walls.I clutched the file close to my chest as I tried to control the pace of my racing heart. I could feel the weight of memories I would rather avoid surface, and each step I took echoed, filling my soul with a sense of dread. Despite not wanting to, I found myself heading to my ex-mate's office as instructed by Madam Nelly, and I moved with hesitation, not eager to face him or wanting to have any interaction with him.As I approached the door, a mix of anxiety and reluctance gripped my heart. I felt really nervous as I stood outside his office door. My stomach was all twisted up with anticipation as the sound of my own footsteps made everything feel more emotional.I hesitated before knocking, the sound resonating through the quiet hallway like an unwelcome intrusion. After I knocked and waited for a few seconds, there was no response, bringing a sense of relief. It seemed Liam
Ruby:"We were good together, Ruby. Admit it, and let's return to the way we were before, when we both found happiness. I can see it in your eyes that you're not happy now, and it's all my fault. That's why I'm here, begging to make it up to you," he whispered, a sad smile tugging at his lips as our eyes locked in a shared moment.His words hung in the air, and for a moment, I wavered because he sounded so sincere. The memory of our shared laughter and the warmth we once had together tried to surface. But beneath the surface, I also felt the ache of heartbreak and the scars of unresolved pain. My heart pleaded with me to escape as I stood on the edge of a past I had struggled to bury.With determination, I placed my hands on Liam's chest, attempting to create distance. "Yeah, we were happy until you ruined it all, and honestly, I'm glad you did. Whatever we had, Liam, was immature, and now it's in the past. What you did... It's not something a simple apology can fix. I can't forgive i
Ruby"Let me go, Liam!" I yelled, managing to bite his lips hard enough to draw blood. In a swift, determined motion, I broke free from his grasp. The sudden release allowed me to regain my composure, and I glared at him in rage while he smirked.I felt so irritated that his lips touched mine, and I took a step back, creating a safe distance, feeling gross about the forced kiss. The taste of it lingered, making my stomach turn. His smirk only added to my frustration. Even though I managed to break free physically, the icky feeling stayed with me, creating a mix of anger and disgust inside."Don't get shy with me, Ruby; you used to enjoy my kisses and beg for more," he retorted, a wild look in his steel grey eyes."Don't ever touch me again; you are a crazy bastard." I yelled, frustrated that he didn't grasp the seriousness of what he had just done. With a surge of strength and defiance, I rushed towards him, delivering a well-aimed kick to his lower region. He doubled over in pain, th
DamianI walked deeper into the ominous forest of darkness, fatigue clinging to my bones like a persistent shadow that I was failing to get used to. The twisted trees towered above, their gnarled branches like skeletal fingers reaching out to take my soul and leave my body empty.Exhaustion settled over me with each step I took, the heavy darkness weighing on my shoulders, but despite the weariness, I kept on moving on the dreadful path like the tough alpha male I was. If it were anyone else, entering the foreboding forest would likely have led to their death.Yet, for the time being, I endured.The path ahead felt never-ending; the air was getting thick and cold with an otherworldly energy that created long shadows dancing on the uneven ground. I paused for a moment in high alert; every creak of a branch or rustle of leaves made me feel uneasy, making me aware that my solitary journey would surely become more daunting as time passed.Suddenly, a distant howl echoed through the forest
Damian"Dammy," she called, using the nickname she had given me in our youthful days. Only she ever called me that, and hearing it now stirred emotions I thought were buried long ago with her death. The shadows of the forest seemed to respond to her call, weaving a surreal dance around us. My head spun with disbelief, my heart pounding in my chest.Surely, I must be seeing double."Follow me, and we can be together again. Abandon this quest, and all our pains will vanish." She whispered in a haunting melody, wrapping around me like a familiar yet distant echo. It was beyond strange to hear her lovely voice after all this year—six, to be precise."No, this can't be happening, Ava; you can't be here. You can't be real because I saw you die," I whispered to myself, my voice trembling, and I shook my head in disbelief as I tried to comprehend her impossible presence. I was beyond shocked. Why was she in the forest of darkness? I felt like I was losing my mind because there was no way she
Damian "Be with me, Dammy. Nothing else matters," she pleaded, her voice a desperate whisper as she reached out to me. But I held my ground, my resolve unwavering, as I took another step back, distancing myself from her touch.Her words cut through me like a knife, igniting a flame of anger within. How could she ask me to forget the beautiful life we had created together by abandoning our daughter? I felt a surge of rage building up inside me, my fists clenched at my sides as I struggled to contain my emotions."We created a life together, Ava," I stated firmly, my voice resonating with conviction. "And that life is waiting for us. It would be selfish to live just to pursue our own happiness.""A life? Do you mean we have a pet or something?" She asked, her confusion evident in her furrowed brow. I felt a pang of suspicion at her words. How could she forget about our daughter?"We have a child, Ava," I replied, my tone tinged with frustration. How could she forget such an important d
