The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster Deal and Awakening
Kieran's POV:Three of Crant's men lunged at me, but I didn't hesitate. I barely moved a muscle sticking them down with my claws drawing blood. The men fell to the floor unconscious and I wiped my hand off the blood. "You were saying?" I asked. Crant watched, unimpressed and with a wave of his hand, all his men attacked at the same time. I threw them off easily. Darius fought, and Caius stayed protecting Sienna from any of their attacks. "Stop!" Crant yelled, and his men halted. Half of them had fallen to the floor unconscious if not dead. He took off his coat, tossing it aside to the floor and settled into a fighting position as he cracked his knuckles.Darius bared his teeth, ready to pounce, but I shot him a warning look. "Don't."Darius frowned, and halted. "What…?"I looked at Crant, raising my index finger and moving it slightly before bringing it down. "He's got the smell of wolfsbane on him.""You have sharp senses, Kieran. I expected no less," Crant said. Damn him! He

Sienna's POVWhen I woke up, I gasped and tried to sit up, but my head hurt. The last thing I remembered was masked guys bursting into my room, one of them grabbing me before I could scream. Every part of my body hurt."Stay down," said a soft voice. Darius stood by the door, his face unreadable. "Kieran will be back soon.""What happened?" My throat was dry, so I croaked. "The men in masks—" "Gone. "Kieran chased them away, but not before they..." His eyes darted to my arm.I stopped moving when I met his eyes. There was a thin red line around my wrist that looked like a band. The skin around it was red and angry."What did they do to me?" I whispered, fear rising in my chest.Darius shook his head. "I don't know. Kieran told everyone to search the grounds."As soon as he left, I swung my legs over the bed. Something felt wrong—hollow. I closed my eyes, searching for that familiar fire inside me, the power that had always hummed beneath my skin.Nothing.My ruby wolf was quiet.Fear

Darius's POVThe moon cast long shadows through the trees as I moved quietly through the forest. My heart hammered in my chest, but my face stayed calm. Years of practice had taught me how to hide my feelings, even from other wolves who could smell fear.I reached the clearing and waited, ears alert for any sign I'd been followed. No one in the pack suspected me—not even Kieran. Especially not Kieran.A twig snapped and I spun around, claws extended."Jumpy tonight, aren't we?" A figure appeared from the darkness, her face hidden beneath a hood."Isa," I answered with a curt nod. "The attack went exactly as planned."She pulled back her hood, showing sharp features and eyes that gleamed with dangerous magic. The Black Moon Witch smiled, but it never reached her eyes."And our Ruby Wolf?" she asked."The mark has activated," I confirmed. "Her powers are growing, just as the Queen predicted."Isa stepped closer, her fingers trailing over a nearby tree, leaving frost in their wake. "Kier

The Midnight Queen's POVI watched them all through my scrying pool—little pieces moving across my chessboard. The killer had found his memories. The Alpha offered defense. And Sienna, my beautiful Sienna, stood at the center of it all, unaware of the blood we shared.The water rippled, showing Ronan approaching the packhouse with his hands raised. Foolish boy. Love had made him weak."My Queen, we've lost contact with Nyx," Vex announced, entering my chamber. Blood stained his hands—someone had displeased him again.I waved dismissively. "Ronan killed him. It matters little."My inner haven lay deep beneath the mountains, far from prying eyes. Ancient symbols carved into black stone walls glowed with magic. A throne of polished obsidian commanded the room, wolf skulls decorating its high back."Summon the others," I ordered.Five hooded figures filtered in, making a half-circle before me. My closest circle—the only ones I almost trusted."Tomorrow night, we attack the Shadowfang Pack

Caius's POVMy footsteps rang through the marble halls of the Vampire Court. Servants bowed as I passed, their eyes downcast, fearing my look. I straightened my jacket, preparing myself for the show ahead.Father waited in the throne room, ringed by his ever-present advisors. The Vampire King hadn't left this castle in over a century, yet his reach stretched far beyond these walls."My son returns," he stated, silencing the court with a wave of his pale hand. "What news of the werewolves?"I knelt before the dais, a show of respect I didn't feel. "The Alpha suffers from his curse as the full moon approaches. His power weakens by the hour.""And the Ruby Wolf?" Father leaned forward, his ancient eyes gleaming with attention."Her powers grow," I replied carefully, giving only what served my purpose. "The markings spread across her skin, responding to some external force."I omitted Ronan's escape and Kieran's study. Some secrets were better kept, even from a king.Father motioned for m

Zeke's POVMy fist smashed into the training dummy, sending splinters flying across the room. Four more dummies lay in pieces around me, destroyed in under a minute."Impressive," Commander Vex said, his cold eyes showing nothing. "But not good enough."I wiped blood from my fingers. The other Syndicate troops watched from the shadows, their faces a mix of fear and envy. None of them could match what I could do."Again," Vex demanded, nodding to the guards.Two top fighters rushed me from opposite sides. I ducked under the first blow, my body moving faster than normal humans. My leg swept one attacker off his feet while my elbow connected with the second man's chin. Bone cracked. He dropped.The final fighter pulled a silver dagger – our weakness. But not mine. Not entirely.I caught his wrist mid-strike, twisted until he screamed, then threw him across the training pit. His body hit the wall with a terrible thud."Enough." Vex's voice echoed through the room. "Get cleaned up. Mission

Isolde's POVThe moon hung heavy outside my window as I arranged my tools. Five black candles made a star on the floor. In the middle lay three precious items: a strand of fiery red hair, a scrap of bloodstained cloth, and a small vial of ash. All taken from Sienna during the last attack."Little wolf, you can't hide from me," I whispered, striking a match.As the candles flickered to life, I closed my eyes and let power flow through my fingers. Magic wasn't just something I did—it was who I was. The Black Moon Witch. Once guardian of the Ruby Wolves, now their best hunter.I sprinkled dried herbs over the things and began to chant in a language older than time. The candles' flames stretched toward the sky, turning blood red. On the wall, shadows danced like dogs running through a forest."Show me the bloodline. Show me the Ruby Wolves."The flames converged into a map—floating, glowing lines that twisted across countries. Where Ruby Wolves once thrived, now only faint signs remained.

Ronan's POVBlood dripped from my knuckles as I stumbled through the trees. Three Syndicate guards lay dead behind me, but more would come. They always did.My side burned where Vex had driven the knife in during my "questioning." The cut wasn't healing as fast as it should—the blade had been laced with wolfsbane.The vampire's help had been surprising. Caius Blackthorne, of all people, causing a distraction that allowed me to break free. His leaving words echoed in my mind: "Find her before they do."Rain began to fall, washing away my smell trail. Small gifts. I pushed forward until an abandoned hunter's cabin emerged through the trees. The door hung crooked on rusty hinges, but the roof was mostly intact.Inside, dust covered everything. No one had been here for years. Perfect.I fell on a moth-eaten couch, checking my wound. The bleeding had lessened, but infection was setting in. I needed drugs. Rest."Some protector you are," I muttered, searching the cabin's shelves for anythin

The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster Blood and Betrayal
Kieran's POV I stared at the Midnight Queen as she stood before us, her mask of shadows moving like smoke. My body felt wrong caught between human and wolf, the silver poison still burning in my blood despite Sienna's healing. "Run," Sienna whispered again. But I wasn't going anywhere. Not this time. The Queen raised her hands to her mask, fingers wrapping around its sides. The forest seemed to hold its breath. Then a howl cut through the night my Beta, Rafe, calling the pack to war. The Queen's hands froze. Her head tilted, listening. "Your wolves come, Alpha," she said, voice like ice sliding over stone. "But they won't save you." With a wave of her hand, darkness overtook the clearing. I felt something sharp slice across my chest claws or a blade, I couldn't tell. Sienna cried out somewhere to my left. Ronan shouted. Then the darkness lifted, and the Queen was gone. "Is everyone alive?" I asked, putting my hand to the fresh cut on my chest. Sienna appeared at my side, her
The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster Shadows of the Past
Ronan's POV I ran through the forest, following Sienna as she chased after Kieran's howl. My side still burned where her fire had healed my wound not with pain, but with a strange warmth that spread through my blood like liquid gold. "Slow down," I called. "We need a plan." She glanced back at me, her red hair a flame in the moonlight. "There's no time." But I saw the fear in her eyes. Fear not for herself, but for Kieran. Something twisted in my chest. Jealousy? I pushed it away. I had no right to feel jealous not when I'd been sent to kill her. Not when I'd betrayed her once already, even if I couldn't remember doing it. Zeke caught up to us, feeling the spot on his head where he'd been struck. "Sienna, Ronan's right. Darius is setting a trap." She stopped suddenly, turning to face us. "I know. But I can't leave Kieran to die just because it might be dangerous." "Why?" I asked, the word leaving before I could stop it. "Why risk your life for him?" Her eyes met mine, and for
The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster The Face of Betrayal
Sienna's POV I woke with a gasp, dirt and pine needles sticking to my cheek. Stars glittered overhead through a cover of trees. My body ached as if I'd been thrown from a great height, and maybe I had been. The cave was gone. The trial was over. But the face I'd seen the true enemy behind the Queen's mask burned in my mind like a brand. "Impossible," I whispered, pushing myself to my knees. My head spun with the movement, and I clutched at a nearby tree root to balance myself. It couldn't be true. And yet, deep down, I knew it was. The person behind everything, the hunts, the lies, the manipulation was someone I trusted. Someone who had led me. Isolde. My boss. The Black Moon Witch herself. A sharp pain shot through my wrist. I looked down to see a new mark forming on my skin a perfect crescent moon wrapped around a ruby-colored flame. The mark of the Second Trial. "I passed," I whispered, tracing the symbol with my thumb. "But at what cost?" Memories flashed through my mind
The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster The Illusion of Choice
Sienna's POVI awoke to darkness and the smell of pine. My head throbbed as I sat up, trying to remember what had happened after...After seeing a face that shouldn't exist."Hello?" I called out, my voice echoing in the stillness.No answer.I pushed myself to my feet, wincing at the ache in my muscles. The last thing I remembered was running north with Ronan, then the attack. Queen's killers everywhere. And thena cloaked person.A small flame sparked to life in my palm, throwing eerie shadows on stone walls. I was in some kind of cave, but not one I recognized."The Ruby Wolf awakens."I spun around, flame burning brighter as I faced the speaker. A tall woman with silver hair and black eyes stood at the opening to a tunnel I hadn't noticed before."Who are you?" I asked. "Where's Ronan?"The woman smiled, showing pointed teeth. "I am Nyx, guardian of the Second Trial. Your companions are not here. In the Heart's Trial, you walk alone."My stomach dropped. "The Second Celestial Trial

Kieran's POVPain shot through my side as I tried to sit up. The wound from Darius's deception was healing, but too slowly. Three days, and I still couldn't shift without reopening it."Stay down," Elena directed, pushing me back onto the furs. "Your stubbornness won't make you heal faster."I growled but didn't fight her. My Beta was right, as usual.Our temporary camp buzzed with activity outside my tent. Guards shouted directions, preparing for another attack. Darius's warning had saved lives, but I still couldn't bring myself to visit him in the medics' tent.Some betrayals cut too deep."You have a visitor," Elena said quietly. "Should I send him away?""Who?" I asked, wincing as I changed position."Your uncle."I closed my eyes briefly. Alaric was the last person I wanted to see, but he was also the only one who might have answers."Let him in."Elena nodded and stepped outside. Moments later, my father's brother entered the tent. His silver hair was wild, his eyes haunted. He

Isolde's POVThe mirror in my hands showed me nothing but darkness. For three days, I'd tried to find Sienna through my scrying glass, but she stayed hidden even from my magic.Smart girl.I set down the mirror and looked around my small tent. Herbs hung from the roof, their scents mixing with the smoke from my protection candles. After fleeing the temple, I'd created this small space on the outskirts of Kieran's new camp, though I wasn't exactly welcome.No one trusted a witch who had once served the Midnight Queen.A sudden wind extinguished my lights, plunging the tent into blackness. The air grew thick with power that wasn't mine."Show yourselves," I ordered, calling a small flame to my palm.Three hooded figures emerged from the shadows, materializing like smoke. My sister witches from the Black Moon Coven.Lyra, tall and stern. Mara, round-faced and seemingly gentle. Thea, silent and dangerous."Sisters," I greeted carefully. "This is unexpected.""The High Priestess has called

Darius's POVCold stone pressed against my back as I stared at the ceiling of my jail cell. Three days since they'd thrown me in here. Three days since everything fell apart.The pack jail smelled like mold and old blood. My blood. The silver-laced bars had burned my hands when I'd tested them the first day.No one came except to slide boring food through the slot. No visitors. No trial. Just silence.I'd wronged Kieran, and now both sides had abandoned me.My ribs ached where Elena had kicked me after they'd caught me trying to signal the Syndicate during the escape from the temple. The memory of Kieran's facethe hurt that flashed before the ragewas worse than any physical pain."You were like a brother to me," he'd growled before turning away forever.A sound outside my cell made me sit up. Footsteps. Too light to be a guard."Who's there?" My voice cracked from disuse.A shadow moved beyond the bars, then a face appeared. Tomas. Another Beta from Kieran's inner circleand apparently

The silver glow on her wrist where the Queen had touched her mate mark made my own skin burn in response.We were linked, whether we wanted it or not."We need to leave," Kieran growled, now dressed in clothes Elena had made for him. "The temple's becoming unstable."Another howl rose from beneath us, louder this time. The floor shook."She's right about one thing," I said, my voice hoarse. "That's the First Wolf waking up."Sienna looked at me with those eyesour eyes. Ruby red in the right light. "You knew? About us being related to her?"I nodded, shame burning my throat. "I found out three months ago. But not everything. Not about the twin bond.""We need to talk," she said, moving toward me.That's wh
