All Chapters of The Alpha's Ruby Obsession: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

A laugh almost escapes me, but the bitterness swirling in my chest makes me fear that I might cry instead should I voice my pain. So, my gaze remains on him; I do not dare blink in case tears dare escape me.It hurts; it shouldn’t hurt to hear these words from him, but Christ, it feels as if my heart has imploded in my chest.It must be my hormones making me feel this way; it must be otherwise…otherwise…Christ, it's almost as though I believed him when he said he cared. I didn’t, but it’s almost as if I did."Elaine will spend the week…”Christ, he is still talking about Elaine.His mouth still calls her name as if… “…Sunday for school, where she will stay until her official graduation. I won't sleep with her, Ruby. Just trust me."He continues but, I am not sure what I have missed, I am uncertain of what he has uttered beyond his threats and…I do not want to take in more of what he wants to say in case he takes them back later."And..."A sigh escapes me, I hate its tremble.I am a

Adrian M Knox "Muaas." Elaine drawled his name as if it offered her life. Each time she purred his name, she took a step toward him. In his head, he took an equal one back, but...in reality, he hadn't moved. "Don't." He meant the words as a command, but again, they failed him. "Muaas...please, I'm burning..." The blood rushing in his veins turned furious; even his heart felt as if it would leap out of him. Her scent burned his skin, and the veins on his temple hummed. He wanted to pounce on her. But he couldn’t. He would- Before the promise even formed in his mind, his hand reached for her; it was pure instinct, one she did not resist—not that he would let her resist him. Christ, she was cold to the touch, just the temperature his skin craved. But, If holding her felt this good, what about tasting her? What would she taste like? Grapes? Chocolate? Roses? He did not much care for flowers, but he loved the scent of roses in the crisp winter because that was what the training

Hello! So, unfortunately, there wasn’t enough hype for the bonus, perhaps a poor theme choice (?), so I’ll wrap them up in one or two more chapters. Quick disclaimer: This chapter contains Dubious Consent and Threat to S. Assault. The regular chapters resume tomorrow. As always, thank you for reading! ** The VIP room was clean, to his standard, and as per his instruction, his new business partner left. The partner who left was an old classmate, and the only reason they were now partners was that he introduced him to where she was. If not for the club-no, if not for Ruby, he would not have accepted the business proposal. And by clean, he meant that it didn't reek of tobacco like the rest of the club, a club he shouldn't even be in, but again, Ruby. She was a nobody who came from nowhere and took his seat at the university, took every leading grade in the courses they shared from under his nose, and vanished before he ever had the chance to bring her to his knees. The door to h

Adrian M KnoxShe was mocking him, but she had every right to, given the circumstances."Ruby, are you okay?"He asked, trying his best to keep the topic on the matter at hand."Am I okay?"She repeated in a whisper before again scoffing at his words.He wanted to howl and express something, but…he felt nothing but the urge to run to Elaine’s room. Even he knew something was wrong with how the mating system worked, but…what was he supposed to do?"I don't want any more visitors, Alba.""Ruby, are you-""Am I okay? That’s what you want to ask me after I lost a baby, a baby you said you wanted, you said you—ah… fuck, why am I so stupid? I should never have believed you; I should have gone through with the abor- mmmn.."She sealed her lips to keep more words from leaving her mouth before closing her eyes and shaking her head from side to side.Her outburst was short, too short.Her inhale was quick before again her eyes opened, and she turned to look at him once more, but there was an of

A crueller fate? Hah… isn’t it normal to not be able to distinguish between numbness and desire? Isn't it normal to feel this hollow in the name of affection? Still, I nod to Violet’s words, if only to keep the bitterness at bay. "I will use the tranquilliser if necessary, but I’ll get the cuffs first.” I respond, and she nods slowly. Again, she offers the same eyes with Alba, the beta and good God, even the Alpha—the look of pity that can neither soothe my soul nor bring back what I have lost. If I knew what I knew then, what I do now, I would leave sooner, before her birthday, before- “Okay, and remember, his mate cannot be in the vicinity.” Violet interrupts my spiralling thoughts with more instructions that I already know. I guess we are reviewing everything from the top one last time before my meeting with him. “I know, I know.” I utter as again we take the plans from the top. ** The hospital’s garden is tremendous; the vibrant colours of the flowers that sway gently w
