All Chapters of Ruby's Protector: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

In the letter I gave to Lucian, there were two things written on it. The first was that someone he cared about would be poisoned. The second was that I had solid information about the rabid rogues. The second part, though the information was not as solid as I emphasised, was still very useful. I still hadn’t told him the information yet because there was going to be nothing in it for me! The first information of someone getting poisoned was just a bonus and a filler gift.The information about the rogues was the real deal. But how could I give it to Lucian when I didn’t win the best gift award and wasn’t going to get my wish granted by him?So, I played coy and said, “What do you mean by that?”“You still owe me another gift,” he said.“I don’t feel like giving it to you,” I turned away to leave, but Lucian caught my wrist and flipped me around.“It doesn’t matter what you’re feeling. Tell me, now.” Lucian said with a serious tone. All traces of playfulness from earlier had disappea

“Ruby,” I heard a familiar voice call out to me.I was in a familiar yet unfamiliar place. I was standing in my room back at the Blue Sky pack. “Ruby,” someone called my name once again.I turned around and saw Jonathan standing at my door. His face looked younger than I remembered. He looked like he was seventeen years old. I was confused. The Jonathan Willow I knew was twenty-four years old with a more muscular frame. And the last time I saw him, he had been growing a stubble on his chin.But now… he had a baby face. And his brown eyes, which were normally clouded with bitterness and contempt, were wide with wonder and amusement now. What was going on here?“Jonathan, you—” I stopped talking as soon as I noticed that the sound of my voice was really high-pitched. I reached for my throat and that was when I noticed how short and small my arms were.I looked down at myself and saw that I was now a little girl. What the…?“Ruby, what are you doing? It’s almost time. I can’t wait to

“Operation: Ruby’s Caretaker,” I verbalized for the first time and allowed myself to evaluate how it sounded in me. “I think it sounds quite interesting, doesn’t it?”Lucian laughed and leaned back on the bench with his arms crossed. “I guess so. But actually we have to think about if the operation can be completed. It is not enough to simply think of a cute title.”I agreed but my brain was already running with several scenarios about how to achieve that. “That’s right. First of all, I need to tackle all the issues with the pack and clear my name. Which means off course the issues of me being a threatening Alpha also proving that I am not just a pathetic Omega.”“Precisely.” He said and then added after some moments of thought. “And I guess the first ones would be the most relevant ones, that is, Gina, Timothy and maybe even Beckett,” Lucian said this seriously. “They are the most influential pack members. If they are on your side, the rest will follow.”“Gina will be the problem. She

The following days went by in a flash as I dedicated myself to finding out everything I could about the rogues and how they operated. With the help of the warriors, I gathered relevant information that Gina and Lucian insisted on seeing. They both appeared to appreciate my work, which made me more ambitious to show that I am worth it.“Ruby, this is fantastic work,” Lucian said and verified the documents I was presenting. “This can assist us in forming a plan.”“Thanks! I was simply pursuing what the warriors had already told me. They provided useful information,” I said, feeling a bit proud.“And you have turned that information into something tactical,” Gina said, approvingly. “If we can find out the way the rogues behave, then we can predict where they will go.”“I am happy that both of you think so,” I said, smiling. “I only want to ensure the safety of everyone.”“On that note of assuring everyone’s security, we need to talk about the upcoming pack meeting and what needs to be do

My breath quickened at the news. “What? Since when? How many of them?”“It’s only a few of them, but they’re fast. We must hurry,” the warrior responded, eyes stretching in panic.“Mobilize the warriors and get them ready for a patrol,” Lucian gave the command in a strong voice. “I want every warrior prepared to deploy.”“Yes, Alpha!” the warrior reacted immediately and dashed out to gather the warriors.Lucian gazed at me, this time more urgently. “Ruby, I do not want you to get involved. This may get rough.”I violently recoiled, the rush of power flooding through my veins. “No chance. If I intend to secure a place in this pack, I have to be in this fight. I can assist.”“Ruby, this is not fun. It’s dangerous outside,” Lucian admonished, the look on his face already showing worry.“I comprehend the dangers involved, but I will not sit on the sidelines anymore. If there is any information or assistance that I can provide, I want to be present,” I emphasized, my voice resolute. “Fine
