It wasn't what I expected when I heard their entitlement-demanding advances. They didn't force me the first night on the day I opened my eyes. I was too weak and confused at the time. And all that time they were trying to get closer to me.
Zeph for Zephyr, Zai for Zaire, and Zach for Zacharias. I had gotten used to calling them by their nicknames. Although they were my mates and husbands, I never expected them to be so kind to me.They were warm as if they wanted to be a thick blanket for my body that easily gets cold when I'm sick. They were gentle as if I were a branch that was easily broken. And they treated me sweetly as if they wanted to erase all the bitter memories in my life.Why? Why are they so kind to me? Is it because of the bond between us? If it was like that, I would have gotten love from my family long ago."No, forget that." I shook my head. I need to focus on myself right now.Three days ago I might have been able to dodge, but not tonight. This day was set, the day of our first night.A tinge of red stained my cheeks. I look down, staring at the fiery red lingerie that I'm trying to cover with the blanket. The thin, lacy dress was a recommendation from the servants, so I didn't know if this was the right thing to do or not.The sound of shuffling feet could be heard approaching. My heartbeat was uncontrollable when my eyes caught the object of her desire. They started to climb up the spacious bed and approached me who was in the middle of the bed."You don't need to be tense, Ruby. We will treat you well."I was amused as Zaire's fingers caressed my face in slow, gentle movements. My right eye blinked as Zephyr's soft lips touched my forehead and slowly crept to my lips.I closed my eyes feeling the hot sensation that spread throughout my body. As if they were waiting for me to let my guard down, Zaire and Zacharias moved quickly to remove the blanket that was wrapped around my body. As soon as I realized it, I had been made to lie down by Zephyr."I-I'm embarrassed. Please don't look at me like that." My arms crossed in front of my chest. They looked at me intensely without blinking, as if they had forgotten the role of the pair of eyelids they had."Lower your hands, dear. You can't hide this beauty from us." Zacharias smiled seductively. His face, ah no, more like their face blushed just like mine."You are very beautiful, Ruby," Zephyr complimented with a sweet smile."Enough of this thin red cloth. Although this makes you look very beautiful, we want more than this." Zaire suddenly grabbed the lingerie on my body and ripped it off with a single jerk.I was startled with a pair of raised eyebrows. The only fabric covering my body was now gone. My mouth opened to protest, but Zacharias ferociously devoured my lips as if they were candy.A low sigh passed through the small gap in my silenced lips. I felt something wet while playing with my pair of balls. A rough, oversized hand grasped one of them, and the other was being played with by a long tongue.My body jerked as mischievous fingers that were three times the size of mine tried to get in. It slowly relaxed again due to their gentle and soothing touch."You're already wet. I'll get started."Hearing Zaphyr's voice ringing beautifully in my ears, my consciousness instantly rose. My breath was hot like a burst of fire. Although the look in my eyes dimmed with fear there, my body reacted as if it wanted to demand something.My eyes wide open and tearful received a sweet kiss from Zaire. Zaire and Zacharias were at it again with their mischievous and teasing actions.This hurt.A very large object jerked at my bottom. It kept trying to get inside me even though my stomach felt like it was going to explode right now.My gaze was occupied by Zaire's long staff that stood upright in front of my face. While my pair of hands were aimed at Zacharias' long staff.My tensed body was jerked strongly. The flowing tears I couldn't stop. Slowly their gentle touch turned passionate.Is this a reasonable size? Why is theirs so big?***The sunlight that seemed to be able to pierce my back was trying to pull my consciousness. The softness that enveloped my body made me reluctant to move, but my eyes had a different opinion. They were so disturbed by the light."Please close the curtains," I muttered softly while blinking repeatedly. My hand moved to feel around. As soon as I found emptiness, I sat up with a pair of wide-open lethargic eyes."They're gone?" I muttered with a small yawn. A second later I felt a pain like an electric shock throughout my body. Spontaneously, my back went back to find the bed."Why did they leave me here alone? Usually, they would wait until I woke up, but not this time. They've made my body like this from fighting all night," I grumbled with pursed lips."Why did you open the curtain so wide? Close them again!" I ordered as I wanted to go back to sleep for a while longer.My forehead scrunched up. I turned my head to the side as my order was not carried out. That's when I could feel the hostile gaze given by the two unknown servants.Who are they? They're not the servants who served me three days in a row. Was there a change of servants? But why were they looking at me like that?The pain I felt in my body vanished as soon as the liquid object slapped my face. The cold, murky water fell from the tips of my hair and traveled down my curves to end up on the blanket."Hah, you've done enough acting as the wife of the Alpha Kings. You're not very suitable standing next to them. You're ruining the beautiful scenery into a nightmare." A servant with freckles that filled her cheeks was staring at me with a sharp gaze. She was holding her chest with her face raised as if to make me look low at the moment."I will be polite to you one last time, Miss O'Malley. The Alpha Kings have achieved their goal, which is to spend the night with you who is their mate. So, please prepare to leave the Celestial Dawn pack. You have been banished by the Alpha Kings."My forehead scrunched up deeply. I looked at the servant with blonde hair and the servant with freckles on her cheeks in turn. Although their words might be wrong, doubts began to arise in my heart."It's been years since Miss Rainier prepared herself well to fill Luna Celestial Dawn pack's position. You can't suddenly take her place just because you're a mate of the Alpha Kings." After saying that, the servant with blonde hair smiled with satisfaction."You should realize your place. You are just the woman on the bed for the Alpha Kings. Of course that is only because of their wolves. What werewolf could resist the temptation of the mate they were destined for?""Hahaha, so true."Until now I had not accepted unconditional kindness. So, should I also suspect Zephyr, Zaire, and Zacharias of being kind to me? Even though they are my mates and husbands?If it's true that they're going to throw me away, then where will I end up? Will I go back to the Wildfire pack? To that suffocating place?I don't want to!I rose to my feet, ignoring the pain that throbbed around my waist. My gaze was locked on those two pairs of eyes that held such hatred. A few seconds of silence enveloped the room until finally the sound of thumping was heard.My knee was in a lot of pain right now. I unintentionally slapped my knee hard on the floor, but it just happened because fear was overpowering me at the moment."Please, give me a chance. Please give me a job here. Even menial work is fine. I-I... don't want to go back." I looked down so deeply that my hair covered my entire face. My trembling hands tightly gripped the hem of my pajamas.I almost forgot about how harsh the world was just because I was treated well by my mates. Here, no one loves me and it will forever remain that way.I think I'm crazy for forgetting this fact.The creaking of the door sounded like music. I turned my head to look to the side. Where my three husbands were standing in the doorway with many people behind them. Wait, why are they with so many people? Judging by their appearance and the confidence on their faces, it seemed like they were important people in the Celestial Dawn pack. What were they doing at the door of the room?"What are you doing to my wife right now?!"A loud yell and a deadly jolt of aura made me jump in surprise. My body fell from its upright position and ended up sitting on the floor. Before I could turn my head to look for the source of the voice, a strong spray of blood hit my face.My eyes rounded. A fishy smell filled my sense of smell.This... How could this have happened?Discussions with pack leaders in the US that lasted up to ten hours resulted in many decisions. Among them were the important strategies for warfare in terms of numbers, position, timing, and natural conditions. We have utilized all the information we have.In exactly three days, a large-scale war would erupt. When I think about it, I'm constantly nervous and palpitating. However, on the other hand, I also couldn't wait to meet the leader of the black magicians.Currently, the rogues have been wiped out. The target of my anger at the injustice of my parents and aunt's deaths had turned to the black witches. Although there was not much written about them in my family's death report, I was certain that they had a large role in it. By risking my life, I will make them pay dearly for all the heinous deeds they have done."Luna, is there anything missing from that rifle? Please tell me, I'll immediately relay it to the researchers so they can get back to repairing it quickly."I turned to
"Not only are you being disrespectful, but you also dare to lie this time. Are you ready to face the risk of this impudence?!" snapped Luna Livia vehemently. She occasionally looked at Luna Juliette who was still showing a shocked expression."Luna, please calm down," I pleaded in a gentle tone. I didn't want to hurt Luna Livia's heart, but I also couldn't let her take actions that she would most likely regret later. Right now Luna Livia must be filled with worry for Luna Juliette. I heard from Luna Amelie that Luna Livia and Luna Juliette have been friends since childhood. The relationship between them is very deep. So, it was natural for Luna Livia to respond sensitively when it came to Luna Juliette.The park ranger suddenly dropped to his knees. He held the document in his hand with a downcast look."I'm sorry, I was just thinking of quickly handing this information over to you all," said the park ranger.The Alpha of the Blue Moon pack, who was closest to the park ranger, rose t
"Are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" whispered Zephyr.I turned my head and looked at him listlessly. In response to his question, I just shook my head.I was fine, but Luna Juliette wasn't. On her way to be the representative for this meeting, she heard the news that the Sunflare pack was being attacked by a rogue pack. But she was too far away from the pack to return.She was in a position where she couldn't do anything. If she went back and crossed the border of the Sunflare pack that had been surrounded by the enemy, she would most likely be caught. Death was not a problem Luna Juliette was worried about, but it was different if she was taken hostage. If she couldn't help, at least she wanted to be a burden to her pack. That was Luna Juliette's thinking.Her mate was fighting a battle between life and death, Luna Juliette definitely couldn't take this meeting in stride. I glanced at her repeatedly and she just looked pensive.Although these words were quite cr
"What?!"Zaire and Zacharia suddenly rose to their feet. Their booming voices made me frown. Even the usually calm Zephyr kicked the table in annoyance at Zaire and Zacharias' exaggerated response."This isn't the first time you've faced a big case!" Zephyr snapped.Zaire and Zacharias were silent. They sat back in their seats with the same annoyed expressions.Zephyr looked back at me. "Ruby, continue."I nodded. "Thalia Everhart's real name is Quinn O'Reily, she is part of the Alpha O'Reily family, the Alpha family of the Winter Blaze pack. The pack that had collapsed ten years ago due to losing the war with the rogue pack.""Quinn O'Reilly was originally taken hostage by Alpha Rogue. But after Alpha Rogue obtained the head of the Alpha of the Winter Blaze pack, he slowly forgot about Quinn O'Reily's existence and ended up leaving everything related to the girl to his right hand.""Quinn O'Reilly changed into Thalia Everhart. Although during her time in the Celestial Dawn pack she o
"Is the food bad?"I straightened my gaze to look at Zephyr. A stiff smile rose on my lips as I shook my head. "No, the food is good.""Tell me the real reason. You only ate a few bites of steak and even now that dessert has been served, you're just looking at them and daydreaming. Shouldn't there be an explanation for your uncharacteristic behavior?" Zacharias looked at me carefully, as if he wanted to extract information through our gaze.Zaire put down the fork in his hand. "You're not okay. Is the reason related to the investigation of the rogue's residence yesterday?"I lowered my gaze. After closing my eyes for a while, I returned with a sweet smile. My frantic thoughts began to organize themselves neatly."Right, my decreased appetite is related to yesterday's investigation.""Now, it's my turn to ask. When are you going to give me the document containing my family's death?"They gasped, as if not expecting this question to come out of my lips. They stared at each other before
Ruby Maverick POV Barbaric! They have no conscience whatsoever. How can they treat a living being like a puppet? They had to be exterminated before any more victims fell. "Call more warriors to come in." One of the five warriors, who was busy unlocking the iron bars, faced me. "Yes, Luna!" This long hallway consisted of approximately twenty prisons. Inside the prison were four living people, not counting the carcasses of the dead slaves. It was heartbreaking to think that they had to live in a place like this. My finger massaged the bridge of my nose. "I need to get them all out first. Regardless of their past which may or may not have been bad due to their association with rogues, they still cannot be treated like this." My memory spun towards a moment in the past. The moment when Thalia told me her tragic life story of living in prison for most of her life. After all of Thalia's crimes were exposed, I doubted everything she said including that statement. But if it tu
