2023-08-29 03:06:33Layla walks up to me and comforts me as I cry my heart out
“Come on let's get you home”
She offers a hand to get me off my knees and I take it.
“I wish I never came here but how could I miss it? it’s my loving brother’s birthday”
“I can’t believe he brought his rotten self here, he totally ruined the party. I apologize on his behalf”
As I get up, she embraces me
“I'll try to make sure he never comes close to you again, I promise”
“Let's just go home; please take me home, Layla”
Layla helps me on my feet and we exit the restroom, Marcus who stood outside the restroom
eavesdropping on us, tried to leave as soon as the door opened but Layla stopped him.
“There’s no need to run, we already knew you were outside the door. You’ve been like this since childhood”
“okay okay you caught me, I’m sorry”
There was a brief silence which was broken by the loud music at the party, followed by our laughter.
“come on, I’ll drive you guys home”
“ooh, you’re being such a gentleman today”
“What do you mean? I’ve always been a gentleman”
“yeah right, only when Ruby is involved isn’t it?”
“hey! Don’t talk like that, you know that isn’t true. I’m always nice, regardless of who needs help”
“I see, Mr. Nice guy”
We have another brief laugh. I know that Marcus is trying to hide his rage under a bitter smile and sarcastic remarks. He has always hated when I cry, it breaks his heart to see me crying. Deep down, he might still have a crush on me.
“The actual reason why I offered to drive you guys home is because I know that Layla doesn’t act right when she’s upset”
“Valid point, your offer is humbly accepted then”
We giggle and walk to the parking lot of the park house. Layla gives the key to Marcus and he starts the car.
I still feel weak in the knees, Layla notices this and helps me into the car. Right before the car moves, my brother makes his way to the parking lot.
“Ruby! I saw you guys leaving the party, are you okay?”
I wiped my face to make sure there wasn’t any tears on it before I stuck my head outside the car’s window to give him a reply.
“I’m fine, brother. I’m just feeling a bit under the weather so my friends are taking me home”
He walks closer to the car’s front passenger seat looking for Layla.
“Lay, if it’s not too much to ask, please take care of Ruby till we get home”
Layla smiled at him
“What are you even talking about, Ruby is my best friend, of course I’m going to take care of her”
I noticed them getting all friendly with each other again as they locked eyes for some seconds.
“so….we should probably get going now, I’ll give you a call when I get home”
I interrupted them, clearly they still with each other but the moon goddess already gave them different mates.
“you’re just saying that, I know I’ll be the one to call you”
“oh brother, you know me too well”
I smile at him as the car takes off.
The skies are decorated with dark clouds, rain starts dropping.
The rain eventually gets heavier and I place my head against the car’s window which has been bathed in raindrops.
“Ruby are you still thinking about what happened at the park house?”
“I'm trying not to but the memories just keep coming back; suddenly I am reminded of the first time I got rejected. I’m sure this is the exact same way I felt that day”
“oh Ruby, I was happy when I heard you were returning because I thought you had healed completely, I'm sorry that tonight opened the up old ones for you”
“I'll be fine; I just hope I don't run into him again, I'm sure I'll be fine”
The car zoomed off in the midst of trees as slow music played on the car's radio. For some reason, Marcus has been quiet, unlike his usual talkative self.
“Why are you so quiet, Marcus; are you okay?”
It took a second for him to snap out from his thoughts and give Layla a response
“I’m fine, I’ve just been a bit disoriented”
“what’s wrong? Wanna talk about it?”
“there’s nothing to be said, I can’t explain how I feel or why I feel this way”
“If there’s anything wrong, you know you can talk to us right?”
“I know, I’ll be sure to talk to you guys, or girls rather”
“You know we are women now”
“I’m well aware, you don't have to always remind me”
I sit in the car trying to recollect my thoughts and stop myself from crying as Marcus pulls up at my house.
“Thanks for driving us here, Marcus”
Layla says as we come out of the car, she holds me by the hand as she takes me inside.
“you don’t have to be so formal, I’d do anything for my friends; Ruby especially”
Layla mouths “I hate you” to Marcus and we all start laughing
“Aren’t you coming inside?”
“I think I’d be better off if I wasn’t there for now”
Marcus understands me so much and it always warms my heart, I call out to him
“Marcus! Come by tomorrow?”
“I’ll check my schedule”
“What schedule?”
“I’m kidding, I’ll be here tomorrow”
Layla pushes open the door and takes me inside.
We go straight to my room; where I immediately throw myself on the bed and start crying.
Layla says nothing at all, she just sits and strokes my hair, until she makes a suggestion.
“Ruby, I have an idea. You know we haven’t gone out in 5 years right?”
I whimper and hardly answer her.
“We should go shopping tomorrow, what do you think?”
“I don’t wanna”

I keep thinking about how he asked me to be his mate, despite knowing that I got rejected by my mate.“Do you think it’s coincidental that we ran into each other?”The sound of his voice brings me out of my thinking.“I do, what else is it if not coincidence?”“Fate? I believe that nothing is random, everything that happens is supposed to happen”“Is that so? Interesting”The car pulls up to a small café not too far from the mall.

I didn’t know what to do whether to pick up or just smash the phone into the wall.At last I summoned the courage to pick up the phone. I held the phone up to my ear in total silence waiting for him to say the first word.“Hello, Ruby. I’m guessing you’re surprised.”“What could you possibly want from me, do you derive joy in seeing me cry. how did you get my number?”“That doesn’t matter, aren’t you going to ask why I called?”“The reason you call doesn’t matter as well, I want nothing to do with you.”“I saw you earlier today, you know” “Saw me? what are you talking about?”My heart boils with rage as I hear him talk over the phone, the voice that caused me so much pain was having a conversation with me.“I saw you with that guy at the caf锓Are you stalking me? what do you want?”“You belong to me”“Like hell I do, stop playing

Two Alphas Want Me Logan
LoganHe’s ripping into me like a ravenous hyena, all teeth and jaw as he tears flesh from bone. He doesn’t like his position threatened. But he should have thought about that before coming to my doorstep. Now all I want is blood.Tarus and I circle each other. Eyes never leaving each other, always at attention. Muscles contracting, vibrating fur with the need to lunge. He snarls at me and I smirk. He lunges at me.A full-on assault. His wolf has no problem showing why he’s the Alpha. Instead of taking the offensive, Tarus is reduced to taking defensive tactics in a need for self-preservation. He has become weak He tries to eat away at my flesh slowly, making it hurt. The trail of blood saturates the ground, unable to be absorbed by the frozen earth. Paws drip, painting the mosaic of red abstract art on the canvas of life. My wolf doesn’t relent. He shows that the wrong decision was made. Sometimes you just have to learn the hard way in order for things to sink in. He had no chance
Two Alphas Want Me Leave the Pack
Logan The inability to move, fingers gripping into the earth as if I could hold on to it. Trying so hard to just hang on the fact that Logan would never leave me, he will come back.My tears stopped hours ago, yet somehow I just can’t seem to pick myself off the ground. I can’t get up. This is what love does. When it’s broken, it tears you apart.It ruins you in the end. “Ruby, it’s time to get up.” Layla is behind me, urging me to pick myself up. I wish somehow I could. I have done this to myself. I have no one to blame but me. I should have been stronger. I should have stopped it, fought harder against it. I was weak. “Take a step for me, Ruby, one foot in front of the other.” Layla sounds like her voice is cracking inside her throat. The only male that has ever loved me is gone and I ruined it. I threw it all away because I wasn’t strong or quick to stop Ethan.All I have left are memories now. That’s all I will ever have of him…memories. Logan saw me with Ethan, his dick

Ruby“I need to go home and pack, Ruby. I don’t have very much left here. You should start packing. tonight you and I could go visit you’re your friends in the pack to say goodbye.” I laugh slightly. “All right, Logan, we can go together.” “I won’t be long, okay? Just a few hours. Then we can just leave.” I give him a quick kiss, and he leaves to get his stuff. Taking my suitcases from out of the closet, I start packing everything I own, which really isn’t very much. While eating my meal, the wine is hard to swallow for some reason. I then jump on my bed a little before putting on the TV. I watch a couple of shows before my eyes start to feel droopy. I look at the clock and find it’s only been an hour. I decide to nap since I’m done packing, then wait for Logan.Sighing, I get up and walk towards the TV. I turn it off, and I’m about to walk to my bed when a knock on the door sounds. I frown, wondering who on earth it could be. Maybe it’s Logan, but the way the wolf approached w
Two Alphas Want Me Ethan
“you know what your problem is, Ethan? I don’t think you know if you keep on going against me and doing stupid shits that ruins my reputation and the pack’s reputation. Why are you such a stupid shit. Good for nothing”I hate it when my father calls me that. He only does it when he’s very angry and that seems to be a lot now. He always angry at me these days. No one calls me stupid shit or useless. But those are his new names for me, it has been so for a while now.I just can’t get why he would do this, I get that he adopted my sister and I when we were just pups. I mean he doesn’t say shit like that to my sister. I guess I’m just the exception.And he always sneers it. Because my given name wasn’t his idea. It was my nanny who was more of a mother to me but sadly we lost her too early. She insisted on the name an it stuck.“Well? Do you?” There’s a bulging vein sticking out the side of his neck. “This a real question? You really want me to tell you what my problem is now father. Bec

RubyI make it to my Layla’s house. “I figured you’d show up.” Layla smiles as she uses the spatula to lift the cookies off the tray and put them on the cooling rack. I go for one, and she warns me like a mother hen, “Careful.” “I love when you make cookies. It makes the house smell wonderful and gives it a homey feeling.” That’s not here much anymore, and I’m not sure if it’s ever going to come back. “ I’m actually starting to hate this place more and more every day. I don’t know if it’s out of resentment because I’ve been kept here alone, and that’s because my mate is always busy with Logan now. No offence Ruby, to your mate, he pretty good to. but you need to tell him to cut my mate some slack. We have a young pup.” Layla says. “I’ve been dealing with the handful of a pup, so I had to do something. You know how baking just calms me.” She points at one of the cookies, letting me know it’s okay to pick up. I take a bite and think that six months ago I would have said nothing tast
Two Alphas Want Me Ruby
RubyI ran to where Logan and Tarus were still fighting. Tarus spots me and tries to go after me but Logan stops him with a punch that sends me back a few paces.“ Come here mate” Tarus says. His words repulsing me.For Pete’s sake, Tarus. How many times do I have to say I’m not yours, I e never claimed to be yours?” I’d thought once Logan confronted him that would be end of it. Nope. He keeps on coming to destroy my happiness. I never imagined he will be this obsessed with me.“As if I would have listened. You and I are meant to be.”“No we’re not. Im not yours, never was. I’m with my mate now.”“shut up” He practically hissed the word.I froze. “How do you know about Layla?”“Because I’ve been watching. It took me forever to find you, and then I had to be careful lest they try and keep us apart. Didn’t you get my messages?”“What messages?” I asked through stiff lips, even as it hit her. Those emails I'd been getting, those texts, they must have been Tarus. I never mentioned them t
Two Alphas Want Me Tarus
People of the pack had given them a wide berth. Watching the two alphas fight. If he didn’t win today, whether killing the motherfucker or sending him running with his tail between his legs then, my mate would be in bigger trouble. I walked up to the middle of the clearing to meet my enemy in the middle of this battlefield and see which one of us was going to die first. I watch my enemy prowl to meet me from the other side of the clearing. When they had initially faced off Tarus must have thought he would win in two seconds flat. But from the look of his face now, he was angry. Had he really thought it would be over that quickly? That he would just seize my throat five seconds into the fight and leave him there to bleed out. If Tarus was going to kill me in front of everyone on the island, I was damn well going to make him work for it. Given the grueling nature of the fight, it had seemed obvious to shift and fight in wolf form. I had dodged Tarus’s claws without parrying, danced ou

I round the bend heading to the new houses when I see trucks pull up.Two of them. All filled with wolf shifters from Tarus’s pack.I clench my jaw as my wolf starts snarling inside. I grin when I taste how eager he is for a fight. What the fuck were these fuckers looking for?Good wolf. We’re going to need all that aggression.The doors open and five wolf shifters spill out. Some of the guys are young, but they’re all big, except for a scrawny kid with wild messy hair. I have my eyes locked on their alpha Tarus. He actually came here himself. He tormented my girl. He’s a dead man.“Who the hell are these guys?” Marcus asks from behind me. I watch my crew walk closer to me.I’m feeling better as they stand by my side.“These are the fuckers who have been after Ruby,” my beta growls. “And
Two Alphas Want Me Logan
LoganI didn’t sleep at all last night, but it wasn’t because I was longing for my mate but for the fact she will spend sometime in the present of that idiot, Ethan.I’m up before the sun, showered, and dressed in clean jeans and a dark button-down collared shirt by the time the sun first cracks over the horizon.My mate Ruby had to head out to the pack house so she and Mason and Ethan could go see his supposed new mate. I had driven he there and bid her goodbye.I can’t stop thinking about her. I look at my hands, squeezing my fingers in and out of fists, knowing that they were on her body. They were on her gorgeous face. I can still taste the ripe sweetness of her mouth. The softness of her tongue.I waited for her for what feels like hours, but it’s only been two hours since she left. She arrives at about three hours later and when I see her standing in front of my office, I race over to greet her.“Hello,” she says shyly as she comes in. “Welcome back,” I say as my bear starts pac
