Все главы Ruby's Protector: Глава 1 - Глава 10

I told them. I told them that Jonathan would be the doom of this pack but no one listened to me. Everyone in the pack always used to sing praises of their future Alpha and how he would bring prosperity to the Blue Sky pack.Whenever I tried to get them to see that the fool could never amount to anything successful in this life, they would gang up against me and chastise me for being jealous of my adoptive brother.Now, everyone was going to reap the seed that Jonathan sowed.“They’re in the building! Everyone, run! They’re killing everyone in their path!”Someone was shouting loudly, warning people who already knew they were doomed to die today. My heartbeat raced as I opened the first door to my right and ran in. I ran straight toward the grand closet and hid myself inside. My breathing was so heavy and loud that I had to use my hand to cover my mouth. The Black Moon pack were the ones attacking us. They were the strongest pack in the Werewolf Realm. They only raided and usurped pac

I had come up with a plan. And it didn’t involve me letting go of my pride or doing anything that would cause me to regret my actions one day. I was not going to beg Alpha Lucian for my freedom. Instead, I was going to offer him a deal.It was almost time for him to come visit me for his daily interrogation. I would bring the matter up then. Right on cue, I heard the main dungeon cell door open. I scurried over to the front of my cell, not-so patiently.“Eager today?” His voice boomed. “Having a bit of strength because of the food that was sent to you?” I didn’t answer his useless questions.“I thought about what you said the last time… about me getting out of this place.”He hummed in response after I said those words, then drew out his chair and sat down.“I take that you’re ready to grovel for my mercy. This will be interesting.” He didn’t even bother hiding the amusement in his tone. It pissed me off but I pretended not to be fazed by his actions.“I will not be grovelling today.

It was his sister-in-law; Gina Pierce. I knew this just from the way she stood and the aura she was exuding. No one else, other than the ‘Mother of the Blood Moon pack’ could carry themselves in such an uplifted and dignified manner.I wiped my hands with a cloth and summoned a very fake bright smile on my face as I said, “Greetings. If it wasn’t already obvious, I am washing the dirty dishes of your household as instructed by the head maid.”It was only after saying those words that I realised how rude and disrespectful they sounded out loud. I gave myself an internal facepalm. This was Alpha Lucian’s late brother’s wife and someone who everyone knew he cherished dearly.The angry expression that was Gina’s face could give Jonathan’s expression whenever someone praised me for something a run for his money.“How dare you speak like that to me? Do you have any idea who I am? And who gave you the permission to roam about and do as you please in this house? Just who exactly do you think

I turned around to see a familiar face. It was the same guy who had been there with Lucian the day the Blue Sky pack was raided upon. I had only gotten a peek of his features, but since I had a retentive memory, I could remember him right away.Sierra had informed me that he was Lucian’s closest aide and his full name was Beckett Watterson. He was a childhood friend to both Lucian, his late brother (Atlas), and Gina. And from the aura he was exuding, he would be a Beta, no less.“I clearly wasn’t,” I spoke in my defence.Blue eyes matched against blue eyes as we stared down at each other.“Beck!” Timothy called out, quickly running to hide behind him, using Beckett as a shield to defend himself from me.“I hope you don’t think that you’ll be able to survive for the second time if you try to kidnap Timothy again.” Beck said to me with a rude tone.I was so close to tearing my hair out. Why did everyone think I was involved in this kid’s kidnapping?! I had no clue about it until that da

I was extremely exhausted.Being a maid was the worst thing ever. And being a maid bearing the nickname, ‘Ruby of the Blue Sky’ was even worse. Why did people still call me that even after the Blue Sky pack has been destroyed?“You should relax your expression,” Sierra said from beside me, her face riddled with worry.I sighed through my mouth and did as she said. A few moments ago, some warriors had paraded into the kitchen to get water to drink after their vigorous training session. Coincidentally, the warriors were the same people who had injected me with wolfsbane and thrown me into the dungeon when I first arrived here.They were surprised to see me living freely and wanted to throw me back into the dungeon. I had to convince them that Lucian had been the one to let me out; telling them about the whole riddle exchange and how I had tricked Lucian.It wasn’t necessary to let them know of that part. I just wanted to brag about the fact that I managed to outwit their precious Alpha.
