All Chapters of Ruby's Protector: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“Owwww!” I yelled.“Are you alright?” Timothy asked, rushing to check up on me.“Of course I’m not! My butt hurts like hell! Owwie!” I cried dramatically.The ten-year-old kid’s face was riddled with panic. It even made me feel bad for exaggerating my fall. Yes, my butt did hurt, but the sounds of my wails were overstated.“Don’t worry, help is coming.” Timothy tried to comfort me.My brows creased. Help? What did he mean by help? I was doing this so I could get out of working. If someone came to check on me and realised that there was nothing severely wrong with me, the head maid would kill me.I shoved the kid away lightly and said, “I don’t need your help! This is all your fault! If you hadn’t been bothering me while I was cleaning, I wouldn’t have fallen down and broken my tailbone.”Panic was an understatement of the expression on little Tim’s face. It was like he was going to explode from guilt.“I didn’t mean to. I thought you were holding onto the lamp and—”“And what? Can’t y

One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.I didn’t feel the heat of a palm against my face. I slowly pried my eyes open to see that someone had caught Anna’s hand before it made it to my face.My eyes widened in shock. The person who saved me from the slap was someone I had not expected to see today — Gina.Gina threw Anna’s hand away and the latter stumbled in both surprise and the showing of pure strength. “Is this what you go around doing? Bullying weak members of the pack?” Gina questioned Anna and her cronies.Anna’s gaze was set on the ground as she shook her head negatively. “I was not bullying her.”“Are you insinuating that I’m blind?” Gina released a strong aura. Though I couldn’t feel its pressure because it wasn’t extended towards me, I could sense it.Anna’s cronies trembled like they were under the weight of something very heavy. Since Gina and Anna were both Deltas, it became a battle between who had the strongest wolf aura.Anna stood her ground, veins popping by the si

How was that even possible?!The rogue ground the meat and bones in its mouth as it stalked closer. As if it noticed I was fresh meat, its red eyes met mine, and it spat the remains of the person it had just been eating.The rogue growled at me, marking me as its next target. “Beck!” Lucian called out. “Mindlink the nearest warriors and tell them to come over!”From the other side, Beck responded, “On it!”Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.These new rogues were more impatient than the other three and quickly started chasing after me, not even acknowledging Beck or Lucian.“Argghh!” I screamed. “Why are they intent on chasing me!?”No one answered my question, but I was scooped off the ground by someone. I looked up to see that Lucian was holding me in one hand and fighting off the rogues with his other hand.He had already cut off the head of the rogue he was fighting against earlier with his bare hands, so they were bloody. Ew!Like he could read my thoughts, Lucian said, “Focus on staying al

Today was the long awaited birthday of Alpha Lucian.The birthday party wasn’t going to be hosted in the pack house. Instead, there was an entire hall built, half a kilometre away from the pack house, dedicated to the birthday celebrations of the Pierce family.How insane was that? How much money did the Blood Moon pack have to be going full scale on every single celebration, every single year? That, I did not know.And as for the party, since I didn’t have anything nice enough, I had to borrow a gown from Sierra. Luckily, the two of us were around the same height and the same size. I was wearing a fitted dark blue dress that lengthed a little above my knees and had a small slit at the back. It had a heart shaped neckline with spaghetti straps. Since I didn’t want to stand out much, I coupled the dress with a black jacket and a pair of plain black sneakers which Sierra once again lent to me. I was wearing my hair down. My lashes were mascaraed and my lips painted with a light shade

Fuck. A miscalculation. I made a miscalculation for the first time in years. I miscalculated Lucian’s love for his late brother, Atlas. After Sierra had offered her gift to Lucian and explained what it could do, he rounded up the entire gift giving ceremony and dubbed her gift the best.How could he do such a thing? Did he love his brother that much that he’d be willing to use witchy methods to create a shadow of him? Fuck!I was happy for Sierra, but angry at myself! I blew my one chance. Would I now have to give Lucian his second gift without getting anything in return? Damn it.“Why are you looking so fussy?” A familiar voice sounded behind me.I turned around to see Lucian standing casually with his hands behind his back. We were both on the balcony right now. After Sierra won the best gift, I left the hall to get some fresh air.That must have been fifteen minutes ago. What was Lucian doing here? Shouldn’t he be entertaining the guests like a good birthday boy?“Don’t talk to me
