Chapter One. Shocked.

Ruby My wolf and body were drained and worn out from the profound effort of birthing our child.All this while, I had underestimated the pain of a child's birth, and I never knew it would be this agonizing. What made it all worse was the fact that I had to endure the pain alone without my mate, who was the only one that could ease my ache, but for some unknown reason he was yet to be seen.This was the most important day of our lives—the moment we had dreamt of since our childhood, yet he disappeared after receiving a call just the moment my water broke. How unlucky of me, but thankfully my bodyguard, Andrew, was kind enough to carry me in his arms, bringing me to the hospital.My ears perked up upon hearing the sound of the doctor's footsteps. Weariness met anticipation, and I lifted my gaze despite being exhausted and smiled warmly. I had endured twelve hours of labour, making my body crave sleep.Saying that I was beyond exhausted would be an understatement, and all I yearned for

Chapter Two. Replacement

Ruby:LiamAlex.My perfect family. We will all be together forever.I woke up with a dull ache in my head, realising I had been dreaming and groaning in pain. Letting out a loud curse, I felt a bandage wrapped around my head, which was a physical reminder of how I had escaped death.I felt so empty—hollowed out by grief and loss as the weight of the news and the memories of the past event pressed on me. I slowly recollected the series of events, and it was as if I had died twice in just a day. The death of my child had already pushed me to the brink of insanity, and now the cruel inability to bear the rejection of my mate has intensified my agony.The shattered fragments of my heart, already scarred by the loss of my mate's love, seemed to crumble further. The vivid recollection of his unexpected animalistic behaviour clawed at my soul, each memory like a sharp sword ripping through my chest.The love and mate bond that had once been a source of warmth and comfort now became a haunti

Chapter Three. Shattered.

Ruby:"Luna,"I was slowly slipping away from reality."Luna,"I just wanted to die or wake up from this nightmare."Luna, are you still listening?" Andrew's urgency jolted me back from the brink, yet the persistent darkness within echoed a silent scream through the shattered pieces of my world."Yeah, I am, Andrew. It's just that everything is happening all at once, and it's really hard for me to take in," I admitted, my voice overwhelmed with emotions. It was hard to believe everything that was happening and how easily Liam was quick to replace me.I fucking carried his child. We were always together twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and three hundred and sixty days. How dare he think I fucking cheat?Andrew looked at me in understanding and nodded his head sympathetically. Andrew was unmated, and I have never seen him with a female, so I doubt he understood all I was going through right now."I understand, Luna, what it feels like to lose someone you love," he muttered wi

Chapter Four. Mystery

Ruby"Shoo.""Go away," I muttered with a newfound protective instinct as I stepped between the hungry bear and the vulnerable infant in the basket.In any other case, I could have easily transformed into my wolf, which would have made all this easier; however, my body was weakened from rejection, and I couldn't feel my wolf.Yet, I felt the need to get the baby out of here alive, even if it meant a loss of body parts. Maybe it was the Luna instinct in me that was making me act this way and feel an odd sense of protection over it, but I couldn't just abandon the baby like its mother had done and get it eaten up.The wood was a dangerous place, making me wonder what type of animal in human form would be wicked enough to dump a baby out here in the dangerous forest.Determination flashed in my eyes as I faced the bear, praying to the moon goddess to help me out so that I could rescue both myself and the baby.I squared my shoulders, and as the bear hesitated, I made myself appear larger

Chapter Five.

Ruby"Ruby, I understand this is a difficult moment for you,but you don't have to steal another's baby just to make up for your loss," she said, unaware of the unfolding miracle."How can you think so low of me, Granny?" I ignored her lack of trust in me and smiled at her warmly. She looked at me unsurely with the same look she gives her patients, who had a few nuts loose in their heads.I don't blame her; these past few days have been rough for me, and the only thing I ever did was cry and walk around the pack like a lost soul."What is this, then? Whose baby is that?" she asked, her voice tinged with a blend of curiosity and apprehension.I carefully cradled the baby, my voice filled with a blend of disbelief and excitement. "Grandmother, this is Alex. I found him in the woods—the baby I thought I had lost. Alex, meet your grandma." I grinned at the baby, who laughed softly, and I shifted my gaze to my grandmother, watching her eyes flicker with a complex mix of emotions."In the wo

Chapter Six. Authority

Ruby"I command you to let me in," I declared, using the authority of Luna's voice. Liam might have rejected me as his mate, but I was still Luna and his equal, with only him having the ability to stop me. A visible struggle played out on the faces of the warriors as they exchanged wary glances, torn between loyalty to their alpha and the undeniable power vested in my words.I felt bad for placing them between a rock and a hard place, as they were probably only following instructions given to them by their alpha, but I was also caught between a rock and a stone myself.I can't believe Liam kicked me out of our pack, which we had ruled together for fifteen years.I was fucking tired, mentally, physically, and emotionally, and the journey back to Liam's pack was excruciatingly exhausting. Each passing moment filled me with anticipation and uncertainty.I was weak and unable to transform into my wolf, so I had to lean on Andrew for support, who had carried me on his back after transform

Chapter Seven. Humiliation

Ruby"How dare you, Lilith, or whatever you call yourself? You are a monster and a mate-stealing bitch. How could you be so cruel? You are not sane to be a Luna." I spat angrily, clenching my first.I couldn't fathom how someone could be so cold and heartless as to mutilate an innocent man simply for disobedience."He deserves it for obeying the words of a nobody," she said, turning to the injured warrior and walking slowly towards him in a taunting manner that made his eyes widen. He shifted back in fear, and before I could understand what was happening, she picked up his detached left hand and began chewing."That's what you get for disobedience." She said this and licked her bloody lips. "Your hand will serve as my dinner tonight," she laughed loudly before turning her gaze to me, a look of undisguised disgust etched on her face."Bring the papers," she says, signalling another warrior, who swiftly approached, carrying a paper, which I assumed was the resignation paper."Open the g

Chapter Eight. Hatred

RubyIt's been days.It's been long, unbearable days, to be precise, and the only thing on my mind was how I wish I could turn back time and listen to the advice of my grandmother.I would never forget the echo of Liam's cruel parting words that reverberated in my ears as the gate slammed shut, shutting me out of the pack I once called home."I hope that's enough of a parting gift for you to get it through your thick skull—the fact that I don't want you anymore. Here, keep your lover's heart," he spat, throwing Andrew's heart callously to the ground at my feet. Tears streamed down my face as I stood there, paralyzed by the cruelty of his rejection.I came to the realisation that the one person who stood by me was gone, and I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye as it was unexpected.Loneliness descended upon me like a suffocating blanket. Unexpectedly, I heard thunder roar and lightning strike, and I looked up at the sky as nature mirrored the turmoil within me.Rain began to pou

Chapter Nine. Changes

Ruby:Does it ever drive you crazy?Just how fast the night changes?It was funny how everything I had ever dreamed of disappeared right before my eyes, and eventually I had to wake up to my new-found reality.Seven years had slipped away, yet the wounds from that haunting night remained etched in the deepest recesses of my soul. It became the main purpose of my existence, finally helping me understand the saying that even though time flies, scars and wounds still endure.Each day I wake up, I struggle to suppress the bitterness, yet life has a way of presenting unexpected challenges for me. So far, in the last seven years, I have had less drama and a somewhat peaceful life.The morning was beautiful as usual, painted with hues of hope as my son and I got ready for the day. Alex was almost finishing middle school, which was faster than expected, but then again, my son wasn't ordinary, and everyone in the sapphire moon pack could attest to that.He was too wise and intelligent for his

Chapter Ten. Accusations.

Ruby:"You're late," Danny remarked with a disappointed tone as I entered through the back door of the restaurant.I let out a sigh, glancing at my watch, to discover that I was twenty minutes behind schedule. It was a rare occurrence for me, as I usually prided myself on being punctual and composed, regardless of the challenges life threw my way."Yeah, I'm sorry. I had some issues to settle," I replied, the dryness in my voice reflecting the tension I carried. I reached for the blue net on the table, draping it over my hair.Danny looked at me with a touch of sadness in her eyes. "It's so unlike you; do you maybe want to talk about it?""I'd rather not," I replied flatly, and I winced at the harshness in my tone."I'm sorry; I'm just not in the mood to talk about it.""I understand, dear... Well, better late than never, then," she said, handing me an apron.I mustered a thankful smile, appreciating her understanding as I prepared myself for the challenges of the day ahead. The resta
