Worthless In Their Eyes, Perfect In His
Ruby grew up sad for most of her life. Born into a society where beauty standards were seen as slender and tall, she felt low self esteem her entire life. Her family even made matters worse by ridiculing her each day, and comparing her with her younger sister. Her wolf despised her, accusing Ruby of trapping her in a fat body. She always tried to comfort herself that she wasn't fat but chubby, but no one saw her that way.
After being rejected and betrayed by her boyfriend, her family, instead of comforting her, blamed her that it was her fault that he left.
“You are too fat and ugly.” Her mother spat at Ruby with a look of disdain. “No man would ever want you.”
Ruby wiped her tears, making a decision to transform her shape into what would be accepted. However, while she is on the journey of body transformation, she comes across a stranger who looks at her in a way that no one ever did.
He didn't think she was worthless and everything about her seemed perfect in his eyes.
Would Ruby give this man a chance to love her, or is she too broken to see her worth?

Chapter: Chapter 55The front door slammed hard enough for me to hear it. Malcolm had headed outside.A second later, I heard his car start. I glanced through the window. The engine revved once, then again, before the car disappeared down the road.He did not look back.I stood where I was for a long moment, staring at my closed bedroom door, my heart still racing from everything he had said and everything he had refused to explain. The house felt larger without him in it and too quiet. I had no idea where June was, and I didn't care.I exhaled slowly and rubbed my arms, suddenly aware of how cold I felt despite the warm air. I asked myself a thousand questions, one of them being what this mark meant.I grabbed my phone, took a picture and uploaded it on the internet search engine, with the caption, what type of mark is this. The reply came almost immediately, confirming the mark to be a bug bite. The scientific name of the bug was attached, I didn't bother reading all of it. I searched through other sit

Chapter: Chapter 54“That mark isn’t ordinary.”I raised a brow and studied my hand, where the mark was etched.I tightened my arms around myself, instinctively shielding my wrist even though he had already seen it.“You’re overreacting,” I said, forcing a steadiness into my voice that I did not feel. “I told you. It’s nothing.”“When did you get it?” His voice sounded more serious this time. “I don’t know,” I shrugged, as I started to wonder what the mark was. “This morning, or maybe during the night.” I didn't think the mark was from the dream with my father. Perhaps a bug bit me during my sleep.“That’s not an answer.”I frowned and opened my mouth to say something, but closed it as I seemed to lack words.He took a step toward me. Just close enough that I could smell the coffee on his breath. His eyes stayed on my face this time.“Try again,” he said. “When did you notice it?”“When I woke up.”His jaw tightened. He glanced at my wrist again, then looked away.“And before you slept,” he asked, “ther

Chapter: Chapter 53“I’m…I'm so sorry.” I stuttered as I shifted underneath him and he got up from my body.“Damn Ruby,” I scolded myself, feeling like a total slut. Why did I even do that?He smiled lightly in a way that looked like he was blushing. “It's totally fine.”I looked at the floor as I felt too shy to raise my head to face him. He stepped closer to me. “We can try it again.”The smile still rested on his face. I breathed nervously and hurried down the stairs. I needed to escape from here before any other awkward thing happened.I heard his voice calling my name, but I didn't pay any heed to it. I got to the kitchen and clutched the counter, while placing a hand on my forehead. As I gulped down the water, I tried to act like that didn't happen.A few minutes later, I saw him walk past outside. He emerged later with my keys. As he handed them to me, I tried hard to avoid eye contact.“Thank you,” I muttered as I took the keys.When I settled in my room, I found it hard to sleep. My mind kept ju

Chapter: Chapter 52He stepped closer into the light. His skin looked brighter compared to how pale they seemed when he was unconscious at the hospital.“Dad? You're the one who called me to come.”He nodded. “You're safe. Do not be afraid.”Tears burned my eyes. “You killed someone.”His shoulders sagged. “I didn't mean to.”“That doesn't change anything. She is already dead.”“They were in my way,” he replied. “And something terrible is coming.”I shook my head. “What are you talking about?”He stepped closer. I stepped back.“I am not your enemy,” he said. “I need you by my side.”“For what?” I asked.“To stop what is coming,” he said. “You have no idea what you are part of.”“I want to go home,” I said. “I want you to turn yourself in.” My voice shook as I spoke. Right now, I wasn't even sure if I was safe around him.He smiled slowly. “You still believe in the lie that Malcolm built around you.”“Malcolm loves me,” I said in defiance.My father laughed. “Malcolm only loves what he sees in you.”I fo

Chapter: Chapter 51He held me close to his chest, while patting my back gently and whispering words that I barely even listened to. My nervous system was in a frenzy. I asked myself if it was really a bad idea trying to meet my father in crimson jail even after knowing he was in a place where grave offenders lodged.My mind raced further that perhaps he escaped because he didn't want to meet me. Was he also averse to me like my mother was? I tried my best not to shed a tear. I was just in a panicked state.While the health workers ran around, trying to clear the mess, Malcolm led me to settle on a chair in the corridor. The hospital corridors were louder now and I heard someone crying loudly near the nurse.I heard the person scream, ‘she is dead’. My heart sank instantly and I stared ahead, my hand clenched together in my lap as I tried to understand how a man I barely knew had just torn apart my life.Malcolm was whispering to me, urging me to take it easy and breathe slowly. But I still went against

Chapter: Chapter 50Ruby’s POVMalcolm’s hand rested lightly at the small of my back, or rather, the big of my back, because my waist was far from being small. As the valet opened the restaurant doors for us, he held my waist closer.Warm light spilled out from inside, golden and relaxing, paired with the low murmur of conversations and soft instrumental music. The place smelled expensive, but looked simple. He reserved a comfortable spot close to the window. The view was a beautiful one. The atmosphere smelt divine, of wine, polished wood, something floral I couldn’t place.“This is nice,” I said quietly.He smiled. “I thought you’d like it.”The city lights outside glittered faintly, blurred by the glass. It felt intimate and intentional.I sat across from him, smoothing my dress over my thighs as the waiter handed us menus.“Happy birthday again,” Malcolm said, lifting his glass once our drinks arrived.“Thank you,” I replied, clinking mine against his.We talked about nothing important, work, traffi

Chapter: Chapter 44“Please don't hurt me.” She whispered, blocking her face with her hand as she leaned against the wall. He felt broken as she stumbled backwards from him. Wasn't she aware of werewolves?“You don't need to be afraid.” He said softly. “I won't hurt you.”Her heart still raced. “What are you? You just turned into a monster.”“I'm not a monster, Blossom. I'm a werewolf. Have you also forgotten about werewolves?”She didn't respond. Her chest continued rising and falling from the fear she felt. Her silence confirmed his question. She had forgotten that too.“We are all werewolves here. We transform into wolves. We live in packs, but…” He paused, knowing the last detail wasn't easy to be revealed. “I'm a rogue. We are all rogues here, cast out of our packs and struggling to survive on cursed lands.”She frowned slightly, trying to put the pieces together. “And that thing you fought?”“It's still a rogue, but not one of us. It chose to roam about and attack people instead of surviving.”He c

Chapter: Chapter 43The night had barely let him rest. Trevor tossed and turned, his mind returning again to the woman. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw her face.By dawn, he gave up on sleep entirely. The castle was quiet and cold that morning. He walked down the cold corridor towards the room where Maria lay. The air inside there was warmer. Alice was already there, sitting by the bedside with a cup of steaming tonic.He watched his mate, Maria who sat propped against the pillow, her arms folded across her chest.“Drink this.” Alice said softly, holding the cup to her lips. “It would help your memory and strengthen your body.”Maria shook her head in defiance, her eyes drifting to Trevor as he entered. “I'm not drinking that.”Alice tried again. “You need this dear.”“I said no.”Alice looked helplessly at Trevor. He requested that she give him the cup, then dismissed her.Alice obeyed and headed for the door. When the door closed behind her, he walked towards his mate. He sat at the edge of the b

Chapter: Chapter 42The castle walls were colder than usual that morning. Even with the hearth burning in the fireplace, a chill clung to the air. Part of the reason for the chilly weather was because of the last day’s storm. The rogue king, Trevor, had sent out his men to see how much damage the storm had caused. The soil was already cursed and barely yielded food, and he was sure it was going to be worse after the storm.Trevor paced around his corridors restlessly. His boots tapped faintly on the stone, his hands were locked behind his back. Something urged him to go outside, something he had not felt before and wasn't supposed to feel. That morning, he had woken before sunrise, his chest was heavy with a pressure he couldn't name, and right now, it had gotten more intense.“No, it can't be.” He muttered to himself, trying to shake off this feeling, blaming it on the endless worry that came from ruling a dying land.He was about to step out of the castle to follow this pull when he heard a shout at th

Chapter: Chapter 41THE ROGUE KING'S TERRITORYThe storm had ended days ago, but the land still bore its scars. The lands were waterlogged, the soil eroded, and half of the few crops drowned in mud.Even before the rain, the fields were dull with withered plants. The land was cursed. Every season, the inhabitants asked for more of it, but it gave less. Men walked along the edge of the land, examining the storm's damage.“The storm took half of our crop.” One of them said angrily. “We'll be lucky if we have food this winter.”“The storm took more than that.” Another said with a sigh. He pointed to a far end where a foul stench rose from. “The drainage is broken again.”Both of them, Tomas and Redd, moved towards the broken drainage. The drainage was nothing more than a crude channel cut into the earth, used to divert dirty water. The storm had ripped it apart, leaving it clogged with debris.At first it looked like a heap of soaked branches and leaves tangled together, but as they stepped closer, their ey

Chapter: Chapter 40Triton sat at his desk. The contents of Maria's letter was still heavy in his heart. He leaned back, dragging a hand over his hair. He should write to her, or ride to see her himself. He couldn't keep sitting at one spot, paralyzed by indecision.She had never appeared to him as one to lie. Still doubt lingered. “Was this the truth or her way of pinning another man's child on me?”A knock at the door cut through his thoughts.“Enter.”A man entered, bowing first before facing Triton. “Alpha, news just came from the borders. Two bodies were found washed ashore. They've been recognized as men of Veilwood.”Triton sat forward and his brows knitted into a frown. “From Veilwood?”“Yes Alpha. Their ship is nowhere to be found. There's no sign of wreckage, only the dead men.”Triton rose to his feet and exhaled deeply.“Prepare the bodies. We'll return them to Veilwood for a proper burial.”The man bowed and left to carry out Triton's instruction. He picked up the letter and skimmed through

Chapter: Chapter 39Triton's POVThe sealed letter laid among my clothes, wedged between my armour and training gear. It had been sitting there for over a week. The messenger who brought it said it was from Maria.I pushed it further out of sight. I didn't want anything to make me think of her. I didn't want whatever excuse, apology or demand that she wrote in the letter.I always remembered how I searched for her, carrying only the memory of her scent. All that searching and hours I made my men look for her, and she rejected me, leaving my efforts in the mud.Was the letter to explain why she tricked me into the rejection? Or to smooth over what she had done?I took a deep breath and shut thoughts of her out of my mind. I picked up my leather straps and blade and strapped them on, then headed to the training center.The clang of steel rang through the training grounds. Sweat rolled down my chest as I slashed my blade in the air. My muscles burned as I engaged in a combat with my opponent who was also st
