Ruby

"Wait. I thought my punishment was scheduled for tomorrow." I asked in confusion.

"Well, our Luna got impatient and wanted to deliver justice as soon as possible. You should be happy you aren't getting stoned to death, which is what you deserved, and only getting flogged while naked." He spat, pulling me roughly by the hair, and I struggled to my feet, my weakened legs barely supporting me.

Lilith wouldn't be that cruel to strip me of the remaining dignity I had left, right?

"Take it easy with her." Liam glared at Ben, who ignored him. He was really trying so hard to be a superhero in my life—at the wrong time.

"Stop being a weak bitch and move," Ben sneered, enjoying my evident suffering, and led me through the dimly lit corridor. The stench of decay and despair clung to the air, making each step feel heavier than the last.

As we walked, I couldn't help but wonder what awaited me. The dread settled deep within my chest, but I refused to show any weakness. I had endured enough, a

    Ruby:"You disobeyed me, Lilith," Damian growled, his voice laced with a stern authority that sent a visible electric shock down Lilith's spine.There was a different aura around Damian, and maybe it was because he was my supposed mate; that's why I could figure it out, but one thing was certain: Damian was more than a werewolf.A lycan? Probably? If that was it, then Damian was a dangerous being, and I was sure it was a secret he wanted to carry to his grave."I thought this was what you wanted. I am only helping to deliver justice for the sake of your precious daughter," Lilith stammered, attempting to justify her actions with a shaky resolve.The lies of her words hung in the air; everyone present knew she only wanted to use the opportunity to punish me; she didn't give two flying fucks about his daughter, and from the deadly look in Damian's blue eyes, I was sure he was aware and could sniff out her lies.I was thankful he wasn't an idiot like Liam.Lilith stood up from her chair

    Ruby"Of course, Alpha Damian,they have no problem swearing under the pot of thunder. These people are my pack members and highly trustworthy compared to the lowlife omega over there," Lilith said, urging them on as they remained unmoving."Come on, it's just a little oath. It's for the greater good, isn't it?" Lilith pressed, her voice laced with a hint of irritation.Benjamin, the woman, and the other man exchanged uneasy glances but eventually nodded, understanding the weight of their decision, and stepped forward."Beta James, bring forth the Pot of Thunder." Alpha Damian's voice cut through the tension, authoritative and unwavering.Why was he going this far just to help me? Is he doing all this because he has recognised me as his mate, or did he find out the truth from his daughter and just want to return the favour?A man with golden hair, whom I assumed was his beta, swiftly moved, retrieving a mysterious and ornate pot, intricately adorned with symbols that seemed to pulsate

    Ruby"Aren't you feeling pain?" I heard the voice of Damian call after me. Right, I was supposed to be feeling pains all over my body, but they seemed to have suddenly disappeared. I guess my wolf was happy and had extra energy today.I turned back shyly to gaze at him, uncertainty clouding my expression. I wanted to go as far away from him as possible and not give in to the mate bond one bit, but he was making everything difficult for me.He approached with a softness in his eyes that contradicted the fierce alpha I saw moments ago, and a part of me was curious to explore and find out every damn thing about him, from his fears to his dislikes and who he loves.And the mother of his daughter?"You endured a lot back there. Let me check if you're hurt." I hesitated for a moment, not used to someone caring for my well-being, especially an alpha of his ranking."I'm fine, Damian. Just a few bruises." I said calmly, putting some distance between us, but his concern persisted. I could call

    Ruby "This is far from over; watch your back, Damian, and your little daughter," Lilith sneered, walking away.But before she could get far away, Damian's anger flared, and he rushed to Lilith with incredible speed, seizing Lilith by the throat, his grip tight and unyielding. Lilith, gasping for breath, managed to utter more threats defiantly."You may have won this battle, but I'll make sure Ruby pays for it. I'll make her life a living hell, just like I did to Ava. I guess history is about to repeat itself." She hissed, her eyes blazing with resentment.Who was Ava?The air thickened with tension as Damian's blue eyes blazed with an uncontrollable rage. His fingers tightened around Lilith's throat, the veins on his forearms pulsating with the intensity of his fury. Lilith's defiant smirk slowly faded, replaced by a mixture of fear and desperation.Damian was consumed by an overwhelming anger, and I could feel the heat of his fury coursing through him.The place seemed to shrink as h

    Ruby"Bye nanny,""Goodbye, Alex."I waved as my son approached the school gate, a smile lighting up his face. In that brief moment, his happiness was reflected in mine. My sweet boy turned back and grinned at me for a second before happily skipping away. This was undoubtedly the happiest I had ever seen him, and the joy was mirrored in my own expression.My son had become my source of comfort and healing balm, especially after spending the entire night chatting. Since then, I've been putting in extra effort to be a good mom, learning his preferences and dislikes.This morning, I made him breakfast for the first time, creating a new bonding experience for us. Alex chatted happily throughout the meal, his face beaming with joy. Despite wanting to remind him about table manners, I couldn't bring myself to ruin the moment. His infectious happiness and the large grin on his face were too precious, and he devoured his food in record time.I wasn't perfect, and I wasn't going to be the perf

    RubyThe loss of the precious book struck a devastating blow on me, as it held the key to the healing knowledge I desperately needed, and now it was gone, leaving me feeling confused and lost.The thought of failing the challenge given to me by Madam Nelly pressed down on me, and this wasn't even about failing the already impossible task—the book was an invaluable guide owned by my grandmother for almost a thousand years. It was also passed down to her by her own grandmother, but now it is gone.My mind raced, trying to fathom who would commit such a heartless act, stealing from me when time was of the essence, and how they knew just the right moment when I needed it. I felt uneasy as anguish gripped my heart, and I began to contemplate the daunting task ahead without the wisdom contained in those ancient pages.The dim light of the room accentuated the broken door, the splintered wood framing the entrance like a grotesque puzzle. Anxiety clung to the air, intensifying the feeling of

    RubyA forceful energy swept through the air, and the unseen presence seemed to recoil, dissipating into the shadows. I felt a strange mix of relief and confusion, wondering about the mysterious force that seemed to haunt me.There was something greater than Lilith out there that held a strong grudge against me.Damian approached, his expression a blend of concern and softness, and he began to remove the net, releasing me from its hold, and I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me. The net's entanglement had left me vulnerable, and in that moment, without a second thought, I wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug, not minding that I was creating physical contact between us.I felt his body tense up for a moment, properly caught unaware but not resisting, and he responded with a protective embrace. His strong arms enveloped me, creating a shield from the chaos around me."I stopped a knife, Damian, before it killed me. I can't believe it," I said with a shaking voice clinging onto hi

    RubyI hurriedly returned to the werewolf academy, feeling the pressure of time as the watch on my wrist relentlessly ticked away, counting down the precious hours I had. Let's just say it wasn't much.I hated the fact that Nelly had given me this match because, on my part, it was mocking, but at the end, the ticking clock served as a constant reminder of the limited hours I had left, and they were running out too fast for my liking.Shit.The moment I stepped into the academy, I could feel doubtful eyes on me, and whispers of uncertainty surrounded me from the staff, professionals, and even the students.Disgusted looks greeted me at every turn, but I had to ignore the negativity and make my way to the sick bay. The atmosphere inside was no better, with increased noises and the medical staff sharing collective disbelief at the seemingly impossible task ahead of me—proving my ability to cure the children.I knew it was impossible, but it never hurt to try."I thought the rumours were

    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
