Mason inloveLayla made plans with me to check out a concert hosted by a local band but I declined.I badly wanted to tell her the things her brother said to me but I couldn’t. I knew she wasn’t going to approve of me meeting alpha Ethan.After giving it much thought, I decided that seeing Ethan would be best; maybe if I saw him we could finally get things over with.Although I’m going to see a man who has hurt me and made my life miserable, I decide to wear one of my best dresses.My leg feels better, it went back to normal when I woke up in the morning. I guess I just had to compensate for the blood I lost from that head injury.As I walk down stairs with trainers on my feet, I almost slip but I am caught by Clara who was making her way up to my room.“Hi Ruby, I was just about to come looking for you.”“Hey Clara, what’s up?”“I was wondering if you’d like to follow me to the baby store. There’s some stuff I need to get for the baby.”“Oh girl, I’m so sorry about this but I have so
Greg:We walk into the supermarket and I grab a cart and follow behind Clara.“So, Clara…how does it feel to be a mother?”“Tedious if I’m being honest.”“What do you mean?”“There are times when I hate it and there are times when I feel like it’s the best thing that had ever happened to me.”“I see, I’d love to experience that one day. At this point it’s beginning to feel like an impossible thing.”“It’s certainly not impossible, you just have to find the person you want first. You’ll make an amazing mother I’m sure of it.”“I really hope so. What are we getting first?”“Well first things first, we should get the diapers, I believe I’ll find them on the other section.”She switches section and walks to the other side of the supermarket. I follow behind her, whatever she picks, she throws in the cart.“I’m really glad you came along, this means a lot to me.”“Yeah? How so?”“Well, you’re mostly busy. I just needed an excuse for a bonding experience with you.”“I’m sorry I don’t give y
Ruby:I stand in the living room staring at the mother and child, envisioning what my life would be like if I was truly happy.“Are you okay, child?”My mom asks me, she has always be been observant of mood changes.“I just feel a bit under the weather.”“Are you sure you’re okay? Would you want medication?”“I do not, some water and I’ll be okay.”“Go grab some water then.”My mom urges me as she opens the refrigerator and tosses me a can of water.“Here, I do hope you feel better after now.”“Thanks mom, I’m good.”I take a sip of the water and toss the bottle back to her.“I need to go now.”“Oh? Are you going job hunting like you said you would? It’s not necessary for you to get a job though.”“I know that, it’s just something I want to do to help the town.”“I see, well I wish you good luck.”“I’ll be back later.”“Ruby! Don’t you need someone to drive you?”“Not to worry about that, Mom, I’ll be just fine.”“Okay then, watch yourself.”She waves her hand at me as I exit the hous
Ethan:Just like a dream, I am on the flight with Logan sitting, next to him waiting to go to America.I had made up my mind about following him the previous day. After I met up with Ethan, I needed a way to clear my head. The pressure had been too much for me to deal with, Ethan’s words gave me a sleepless night, one of confusion and agony. I never should have gone to meet him.A flight attendant walks up to our sit, she appears to know alpha Logan. It seems he’s popular among the staff in this airport. That only makes sense though, he travels through this airport all the time for business.“Sir, would you like me to bring you anything?”“A bottle of water will do, Ruby is there anything you want”“No, I just have a bottle of water too”“You sure you came out pretty early, have you had breakfast yet?”“I'm not hungry, when I am I'll tell you”“I see…”“Excuse me, two bottles of water then?”“Yeah, we’ll have that thank you”She leaves our seat and heads towards the back.“So what ma
The Alpha:Logan makes breakfast in the kitchen with a bathrobe on. He stands there whistling like he doesn't have a worry in the world. Occasionally he smiles and continues whistling.“My my mister alpha, what makes you so happy this morning”“Nothing but your presence, it's the reason I'm happy”“Me? I wonder what could be the reason for that”“I’m making breakfast for my love while she stares at me like a teenager in love.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m just hungry bro.”Logan bursts into laughter.“Bro? you’re so cute! I’ll have breakfast ready in a bit.”“You better”“Pancakes or toast? I'm having pancakes”“Toast please, I’m not into pancakes”“Toast it is”He inserts bread in the toaster and turns on the coffee maker.“Any other thing you want?”“Nah I'm good”“I'll be going out for work today want to come with?”“Come with you to the office? hell no”“I just offered because I felt you'd be lonely in the house”“I'll deal with it. I’ll just watch a movie or somet
Lino:Logan stands at the door, looking at me with his mouth agar.“So you’re a liar too?”“I haven’t been lying to you, I swear I haven’t been lying to you”“How do you explain these then?”I feel like I’m about to lose my voice, the pain of deceit is new to me. I stand from my position and walk out the room; Logan chases after me pleading.“Please Ruby, give me a chance to explain. You’re misunderstanding me”“Oh Logan, you must think I’m a fool. Explain what? What is it that I do not understand? You lied to me and brought me here.”“I didn’t lie to you, I swear it, I’d never hurt you like that”“yeah right, that’s the same thing every liar says”“I haven’t done anything to deserve these accusations”“oh trust me you’ve done plenty, I do not understand you”I storm past him and re-enter the room I found the pictures to pack my stuff.I take my clothes on the bed and hurriedly throw them into the suitcase I came with.“Thank you, Logan, you have reminded me about why I shouldn’t trus
Sally and Ruby:It’s no surprise that I hear a woman’s voice on the phone when I call Lino. He has always been a womanizer since our early days in college.“Hi, I’d like to talk to the owner of the phone, Mr Lino.”“Yeah? Who are you to Lino? You called the right residence.”“I’m an old friend, we went to college together. Could you please let me speak to him?”“Just a sec, I’ll go get him”“Honey, there’s someone on the phone for you”“Who?”“She says she’s an old friend from college, might be one of your escapades”She put me on hold and went on to have a conversation about escapades with Lino.“here, have the phone”“Hello, who am I speaking with?”His voice finally comes on and I recognize the voice immediately.“hello Lino, it’s been a while. Recognize the voice?”“Reid! How could I forget a voice like that, it’s impossible”“I’m glad you remember me, you’ve always had a short memory”“I can’t forget your voice, we go way back”“Yeah yeah, Lino; there’s something I’d like to as
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
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
