RUBY

I cried myself to sleep last night...

After Sebastian left, I scolded my wolf for pushing him against the wall.

She claimed she was trying to protect me because I seemed to be afraid of how he was touching me, and she said she didn’t mean to act so violently but...

But what? Did I ask her for that? To act out of control, like I had that night, five years ago?

The memory flooded back and a wave of guilt washed over me. Tears burned my eyes as I thought of how Mom had shielded me, burying my mistake that night to protect me. The guilt, mixed with the ache of losing her, felt raw with each memory. It was as if I could hear her voice, feel her arms around me, smoothing my hair and soothing me with her laughter. I hugged her photo frame to my chest, letting myself fall apart just a little longer.

When I awoke the next day, my heart felt a little lighter, though my eyes were heavy as lead.

"I'm sorry, I no longer work there," I told a customer on the phone who wanted to order coffee

I’m sorry for saying it again but like Sebastian with Annalisa, Ruby needs to make it clear they are only friends before something bad happens and there are just full on regrets. Ruby could possibly be able to save her friendship with Aiden while Sebastian is at the point of doom with Annalisa

    RUBY “Hey,” she said, her voice slurred just enough to be obvious. “Wanna dance?”All three of us froze.Aiden blinked, clearly caught off guard.“Uh—”“No,” Cassie said instantly. Then shoved his shoulder. “Go. Dance.”He stared at her.“What?”“You’re allowed to have fun,” she insisted. “Go before she drags someone else.”Aiden hesitated and looked at me, silently asking permission.“It’s okay,” I said softly. “Really.”He let out a small, awkward laugh as the blonde grabbed his hand and tugged him away.“Okay. I’ll see you guys later.”Cassie and I watched them disappear into the crowd.“Wow,” I muttered. “She didn’t even wait for a yes.”Cassie giggled.“Bold. I respect it.”My eyes drifted instinctively across the party, searching for Sebastian. I couldn’t see him from here, but he’d said he’d be by the pool.“I’m going to find Seb,” I said. “He’s waiting for me.”Cassie grabbed my arm, stopping me mid-step.“Wait, don’t leave me alone.”I softened immediately.“You won’t be alo

    RUBY "Hey, Ruby," he replied. His voice sounded rough—thick, like it hadn’t been used much today. Like he’d been carrying too many thoughts and not letting any of them out. He took a slow breath, his eyes lifting to my face before drifting down to my dress, then back up again.“You look…”He hesitated, shaking his head slightly, lips pressing together as if he was afraid to say the wrong thing.“You look really beautiful, Ruby.”I smiled anyway, even though it felt awkward and a little sad.“Thanks, Aiden. You clean up nice too.”He gave a small shrug, but his eyes stayed on me a second too long. The way he looked at me like he wished things were different. It made my chest hurt.I inhaled slowly, steadying myself.“You didn’t come to class today,” I said. “Cassie was trying to call you, but you weren’t picking up.”Aiden lifted his cup and took a slow sip, buying time. When he lowered it, his jaw tightened slightly.“I needed space,” he admitted. “And I didn’t think seeing you toda

    RUBY The party was already in full swing by the time I started getting ready. From my bedroom upstairs, I could hear the thump of music vibrating through the walls of the house—loud and energetic, the kind that made you want to move even if you weren’t in the mood. Laughter and shouts drifted up from the side yard where everyone had gathered.“Seb’s gonna love it,” my wolf squeaked as I stood in front of the full-length mirror, checking out my dress.It was short, hugging my curves in all the right places, with cutouts on the sides that showed just enough skin to make me feel bold. Sexy, even. I wasn’t used to dressing like this, but tonight felt different. After everything that had happened today—the game, the timeout in the restroom, Sebastian’s words about us being mates—I wanted to feel good. I wanted him to look at me and see me. Really see me.I styled my hair in loose waves, letting it fall over my shoulders, and applied light makeup—just a touch of mascara, some blush, and ey

    SEBASTIAN “Well, look who it is. The heroes of the hour.” Cassie's voice cut through the air.I looked up to see her and Ruby crossing the parking lot toward us. Ruby froze for half a second when she noticed Annalisa standing so close to me.“Seb! You were amazing!” Cassie shouted, pulling me into a quick hug.“Thanks, Cass,” I said, stepping back—half-expecting the same from Ruby. She avoided my gaze instead.Robert scoffed. “Amazing how you didn’t notice anyone else on the ice.”Cassie just rolled her eyes. “Amazing how I don’t care.”Ruby smiled brightly and gave Annalisa a polite, if cool, nod. “Hi, Annalisa. Congratulations, Sebastian.”“Thanks, Ruby,” I replied, my body itching to close the distance she was deliberately keeping between us.“It was a spectacular game, Ruby. You should be very proud of Sebastian,” Annalisa turned her attention back to me. I’m really looking forward to the World Record game. Sebastian and I used to talk about it all the time. It’s always been hi

    SEBASTIAN The second period felt like I’d been slammed back into my own body after floating somewhere else entirely.I could still taste Ruby on my lips, lips—sweet, intoxicating—and her scent clung to my skin like a brand, thick and impossible to ignore. It should’ve shaken me. Should’ve messed with my head, thrown me off balance, sent my wolf spiraling into need.But it didn’t. Instead, it grounded me.My wolf wasn’t clawing at me anymore, wasn’t roaring for more, wasn’t tearing me apart from the inside out. He was calm. Sharp. Focused. For the first time in what felt like forever, we were on the same page with hunger to win.And somehow, that hunger bled into the rest of the team.Two minutes into the second period, the puck hit the back of the net.The roar was immediate, violent, shaking the arena to its foundations.Before Marie Hill could even recover, we did it again.And again.Each goal hit harder than the last, the noise building until it vibrated through my bones, throug

    RUBYSebastian’s hands slid up my thighs, bunching the dress higher. He broke the kiss only long enough to yank the fabric over my head in one impatient motion.Cool air hit my skin, but then his mouth was on me again, trailing fire down my throat, my collarbone, the swell of my breasts above the lace of my bra.I threw my head back, a gasp tearing from my throat as his lips seared across my skin—until his fingers found my spine. He unhooked the clasp of my bra with a practiced flick.The straps slid down my arms, and he peeled it away like he couldn’t wait another second. My breasts spilled free, nipples tight and aching. A low, feral sound rumbled from his chest as he dipped his head.His tongue circled one tight bud, sucking hard enough to make my hips jerk for more friction. Pleasure shot straight to my core, pooling hot and liquid between my thighs. I threaded my fingers through his hair, yanking him closer, begging with every shudder.He switched to the other nipple, biting jus
