Logan’s POVI had lost my mind looking for Ruby everywhere, for some reason I haven’t been able to reach her since she left on the bus, I’m guessing that she blacklisted my number.Some hours after she left the airport, I weht there in search of her but my search was unsuccessful so I returned home.If it had occurred to me sooner, I would have thrown out those useless pictures and letters. I don’t know why I kept those stupid things in this first place, as a result of them; Ruby thinks I’m lying to her.I sent her several apology texts hoping for a reply but I’ve gotten nothing as little as a text from her. Where am I going to find her?Was she on the plane already? This thought terrorized my mind as I walked up and down my living room trying to come up with a solution to my current dilemma.I doubt that she’ll ever believe me again, she thinks I’m lying to her. At this point, I’m hopeless.Devoid of hope, I leave my house that even and visited the local mart to get some beer. There
Sally:It had been a whole day since I got to Lino’s house. I had gone out to local marts and drinking bars to look for jobs but I was turned away from each one without anything as little as a consideration.I went back Lino’s house and laid in the room they gave me, occasionally Sally came to open the door and check on me. Was she worried I was going to steal something?Meanwhile Mason had called me, telling me that Logan wants to speak to me; so he I guess he finally told my brother about us. Still, the whole thing gets on my nerves and I give him a rude reply.It's morning now and Lino had gone off to work, turns out he got a job in the college’s teaching hospital as a doctor, I’m genuinely happy for him.During breakfast, for some reason Sally couldn’t take her eyes off me, it made me wonder just how much her husband cheats on her to make her suspecting of every female she sees around him. Quite frankly, even if Lino was the only man left on earth; I wasn’t going to have an affair
Ethan:Logan and I stare at each other passionately, we each attempt to talk but we end up mixing our words up.I put an end to it by offering to go first.“Logan, I kind of acted like a child, for not giving you the chance to talk. I’m sorry for putting up all that drama. You probably have an explanation you wanted to give”“Thank you, I’m so glad you want to hear me out, please come in”Following behind him, I enter the house and shut the door behind me. I sit on the couch and he enters the kitchen to brew coffee.“Would you like a cup?”“Yeah, sure”“Black or with milk?”“I dislike bitter things”Shortly after he brings me a cup of coffee and places his on the table in front of me.“I’ll be right back, there’s something I have to show you”Logan enters his bedroom, I sip the coffee nervously awaiting him. I feel a little anxious as he walks towards me with a small box and the photo album which I saw those pictures of his pack members. Logan sits next to me on the couch and sighs.
Ethan and Ruby:I knew just what she wanted us to talk about. It seemed to me as though her brother Ethan had asked her to come convince me into forgiving him. I gently sit on my bed looking confused. He once rejected me and now he wants us to get back together?I picked up my phone to read the text Layla had sent to me."Let's meet at our favourite hangout. We need to talk." The message stated.I sighted and could only hope it was something better other than her apologizing on her brother's behalf. I quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower and then got dressed. I took a cab and arrived at Craig garden. I got inside and scanned around for any sight of Layla. I knew she would come late but I patiently waited for her.I sat a bench near one of the trees and the cold breeze blow over my face and I felt relaxed. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and I opened my only just to see Layla standing and giving my her apologetic look."Ruby." She called out my name."Why are you alw
Logan’s POVThat meeting just left the most sour taste in my mouth. I know I chose to be the bigger person and put the differences between me and Logan aside but he’s a rotten human being.Something tells me he’s trying to manipulate Ruby; I’ll do everything in my power to make sure he doesn’t succeed.He left my residence with a smile that doesn’t sit right with me.Moving on, I had thought of taking Ruby out on another date, I need her to know that I care for her and I want her in my life.It's something I have to keep reminding her constantly.Ruby looks spaced out, I think meeting Ethan made her uncomfortable. I should apologize for that.“Ruby, you doing okay?”“yeah I’m fine, why?”“you look a bit out of it. That’s all”“It’s just, I feel regret right now”“why?”She barely takes a look at me, her hair spreads across the table as she buries her face in it.“I didn’t want to tell anyone about my powers, The attention is something I’ve never wanted.”“I understand, it’s the same
Clara and Ruby “What am I going to wear, what am I going to do?”I paced around the room nervously while biting my fingers.“I should call Clara to help me. But how do I get past Mason?”My phone lays on the bed idle as I pondered whether to call Clara or not.After much thinking, I give in an call her.The line rings for a couple of times before she picks up.“Ruby dear, you need anything?”“Yeah could you come up to my room real quick?”“I’m currently breastfeeding so give me five minutes ok?”“Five minutes will be fine. Thank you.”“I should probably take my bath before she gets here to pick out a dress for me.”The hot tub is already filled with steaming water but because I’m in a hurry, I’ll use the shower.Cold water slashes on my warm skin as I scrub the loofah down my back.“I might just catch a cold after this, the water feels like it’s freezing over.”“Knock knock, Rue. I’m here.”“Oh Clara, do come in.”She pushes the door open and closes it behind her.“Where are you?”“I
Mason:Mason returned back to his room empty handed. It seems like Clara didn’t really ask for water.Maybe he couldn’t sleep, either that or he came down because he heard me scream.I’ve always felt like Mason and I have some sort of sibling connection.Each time I’m unable to sleep, he’s also unable to sleep and each time he’s unable to sleep it’s the same for me.I guess I should get to bed, it’s getting pretty late.I quietly walk up to my room to prevent waking any other person up, certainly not the baby.In my head, I toss and turn. Unable to sleep and still thinking about that nightmare.I’d understand why Ethan was there but why did I see Logan? And why was he trying to violate me alongside Ethan.Maybe it just stems from the fear of me being deceived because my powers are no longer a secret.I trust Logan and I don’t think he’d deceive me or do anything bad to me. He loves me genuinely and it showsMy mind had already been made up and I’m not going to let negativity or fear c
Logan broke off the branches of trees covering the road in order to clear a path for us.“You like what you see?”“Like? I love it”“I’m glad you do. It’s an old place”“It’s beautiful, the age doesn’t matter”“Shall we?”The cabin was mostly made out of wood, it had a simple structure. It must have had a fireplace because the cabin has a chimney.It's built next to a lake, I suppose they used to come up here for fishing trips.Logan holds my hand and leads me to the door gently.“When last did you come up here?”“Oh it’s been ages, it’s hard to remember something like that”“Why?”“Well, coming up here alone would only make me feel my loneliness and emptiness all the more”“You don’t have to feel like that anymore”I place my hands on his warm face and give him reassurance.“I’m cold, can we…go inside?”“Of course”Logan takes a key out of his jacket pocket and unlocks the door. He goes in before me and turns on the light so I don’t trip and fall.The sight of the cabin leaves me spe
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
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
“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
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
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
Im heading to the site where we are building some new buildings for new pack members and those from my pack who will help stay here to protect this pack till it can stand better on its own tow feet. 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
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
