Ruby
“Girl, I can't wait to go there, I want to see the Alpha's son, I bet he is gorgeous, and sophisticated. I just hope that he didn't bring a girl from the States.” My friend says, adding blush to her cheeks. She goes for a b***hy look, applying dark makeup. Black eyeshadow, black lipstick and long lashes. I decide to just go for light makeup today. I want to dance my heart out, and I don't need some colored sweat dripping on me.I complete my look with a blue jump short and flat boots. I pick my black leather jacket and I place my phone in the pocket closing the zipper.“I am ready now, Zama.” I say as I style my blonde hair in a messy burn. For some reason, I don't want to look dashing as I always do.“Are you serious, Ruby?” She asks, eying my clothes. “That simple? It's the Alpha's party, for goodness' sake.”“I know, let's just go.” I say, starting to head out.“I'm not done yet.” Zama said, still looking at herself in the mirror, I decide to just go outside to wait for her in the jeep.I greet Zamas mother and brother on the way out.“Should I take you beautiful?” Lincoln, Zamas brother, offers. He has always hit on me ever since I came of age. He is already twenty years, and he doesn't found a mate yet. Zama once told me that he wished that once I hit eighteen, I would be his mate.And by the way, today is my eighteenth birthday and that hasn't happened yet, so obviously I am not his mate. I didn't have a party either, what for? I don't understand why she-wolves are always excited about finding their mates, like my friend Zama. I mean, how can I be happy being a slave to some arrogant wolf who will act like he owns me at this young age? I am just too young for all the fuss.My heart feels that I am meant for more, more than just mating and reproducing.But who are we to plan our lives when the Goddess has our lives already planned for us.Damien's POVI am Damien Jaxon, the next Alpha in line of Ice moon pack. I am just overwhelmed today, it's my eighteenth birthday, the day that marks my eligibility to find my true mate, my better half. I just can't contain myself, I also can't stop myself from being afraid. Afraid because finding a mate is a blessing from the goddess and not every wolf is found worthy of that happiness.I just hope that I get lucky, that's the only way I can become the ruler of Ice moon pack. It's my dream and responsibility too.My parents have organized a birthday party for me, inviting all the Supernatural leaders and girls from each werewolves' clan. The place is swimming with ladies adorned in different fragrances. My nose is certainly getting so much work. How will I even recognize her, if she is here amidst all these scents.The music is booming and the dance floor is swamped? There is no place to even move, I can smell the mixed sweats too. It's just annoying. If it were not for my mate, I wouldn’t even be here.Just as I am about to go back to the bar for a drink, I notice her. Everything around me goes silent, everyone around me seems to be in a mute and statue mode. All I can see is her, her messy hair, her eyes, her smile, her full lips. Her sweet citrus and caramel scent is what weakens my knees. She is the one, she notices me and her eyes pops wide. She stops dancing and starts moving backwards as if afraid of me.Just as I am approaching her. “Mine.” I hear a voice coming from right behind her. And by the looks of it, he is coming for her, she's mine. I growl loudly, lunging in front.Owen's POVThese wolves parties are so boring, I just came here because my father made me. This fucking peace treaty. Why did they have to mix with these weak beings in the name of peace.When it's my time to rule, the underworld will be isolated, no lesser being will be able to visit unless they are dead? I mean, that's what it's supposed to be. Not a live soul coming to taunt our egos down there. So many demons want souls and a being parading its alive soul takes us so much not to snatch it from them.I have lived for ninety-nine years now, I only have some months to find my mate or else I will lose my chance to rule the underworld and I will be doomed to be the gatekeeper if not then I will be banished and roam the earth without my powers and a soul. I will just be some empty shell moving about. The only option left is the boring job of guarding the entrance to hell itself, making sure that no demon gets out without being assigned. It's the worse rank considering I am one of the four ranked brothers.I gave up though, I stopped searching for her. I resigned to my fate, there is no way I will find her now, I only have three months left for me to get to a hundred years. The only thing that will save me is finding her and mating as soon as I can. And that isn't possible even in the underworld.I sit just staring at the young she wolves parading themselves. I decide to do my least power while sipping the tequila. I have just had a bottle, but it hasn't even hit a nerve. The only way to get rid of this boredom is by diving into these young lad minds. I am sure they have nasty thoughts, as they can't stop eying me. I know what they want but today I don't seem to be in the mood. Just as I am looking for an interesting one, my eyes land on her. My body takes over my mind and I see my lips move. My mind freezes, but my lips speak something, I feel the possessiveness escalate the moment I see the Alpha walking towards her looking at her lustfully. A growl escapes his lips and his teeth grit each other as he lunges forward to attack me.I smile because I can take him with my eyes closed.We come to a standstill when my mate screams. A Dracula has scooped her in his arms and starts to run away screaming 'mine' at the top of his lungs.Extreme rage builds inside me, without knowing, I am already in front of him ready to attack. No one touches my mate.Rowan's POVI notice her curvaceous body, her innocent smile and the sound of blood running through her veins. Her blood is all I can smell, it's divine, her heartbeat is all I can hear. Everything is centered around her, all the light seems to focus on her. I think blue is now my favorite color because its outstanding on her. I don't want black anymore. Two men claim to be mated to her. But Rowan doesn't share, in one sweep, I scoop her in my cold arms and set to run away with her. I will take her away from these weak beings. She is mine and mine alone. She is my queen.She screams, causing me to stop. I can't bring myself to hurt her, and I don't want her to be afraid of me. I can't take that it will kill me even though I am immortal. I manage to look into her blue eyes and all I can see is fear and uncertainty. She stares at me and then the two who are already at my side. We all look stranded, we just watch her as she takes little steps away from us and eventually, she runs away. The three of us look at each other before running towards her.RubyHow is this even possible, how? I didn't want a mate, not ever, but not now. How can I have three, it's so absurd. I run away from the three men as fast as my legs can carry me. I can feel them behind me, their scents doesn't leave my nostrils. It doesn't take much time, the trio catches up with me. It’s like they took no effort to run after me. I stand rooted on the ground gathering courage."What do you want from me?" I ask rage boiling up inside me."You" They say in unison throwing daggers at each other. What’s this goddess, why am I the one in the middle of all this."Leave me alone alright." I speak. But who am I kidding, the pull I am experiencing is so intense. By having them just inches away from me just made me want to pounce on them.I start walking backwards away from them, I didn't know how to react at that moment. "Please don't run away from me, I am your mate." One of them speaks. I suddenly hear a growl. "She is mine." One of them lunges forward. I duck, hiding
Ruby I have been tossing and turning on my bed ever since I got home. Everything seems like a dream.But how can it be a dream when I am craving them like food. Zama had to lie to my mother that I had too much to drink, but my mother’s look was suspicious, though she didn’t ask. I will just explain later when I come down. Hours and hours pass without closing my eyes a wink, I don’t how, but I manage to finnaly get some sleep. Every time that I manage some sleep, I am woken up by three pairs of eyes looking at me, all my dreams are now centered around them, but this time around I am woken up by the smell of wild fruit, it’s heavenly. My room is pitch dark, and my whole body is in sweat. I feel someone's presence right next to me, weirdly I don't feel afraid. It's like something is pulling me towards the person. “Owen.” I murmur his name, I might sound crazy but I just have to try. “I am right here beautiful.” He speaks right next to me. I can't believe that he is really next to me
I couldn't sleep, I kept thinking of why my mum was horrified that I was mated to three men. I also kept wondering how I would be able to handle them all. Part of me was really afraid and part of me couldn't really believe that all the three gorgeous and powerful men were all mine. Owen, Damien and Rowan, perfect names, perfect everything. I mean, the moon goddess must have taken extra time to create them because they aren’t just cute, they are perfect. What I don't know is their personalities though. Owen has the most deep ruby eyes I have ever seen. He has this dead look in his eyes that makes him look fierce yet sexy at the same time. His hair is pitch black, and so long. He wears it wavy, and I have seen it in a ponytail; it all looks divine. He is so tall compared to the three of them, and also the hugest of them. If ‘hugest’ is ever a word. I just cannot find the right words to describe him. He has these muscles that he doesn’t even sweat to show them off, they are just there.
Ruby. 'Hey beautiful.' I am woken up by the most amazing female voice. That's not Zama, I open my eyes, slowly, adjusting to the sudden light that's almost blinding me. My eyes hurt and so is my body. I finally manage to open my eyes, but I can't see the person speaking. Am I going nuts? And I have clothes on, I am in an oversized t-shirt. It's definitely his, it has his scent all over it. How come though? I am definitely not home by the looks of it. 'Hey.' The voice says again, making me flinch. I think I am going mad. 'Of course not.' I hear the same voice again.“Where are you? Are you a ghost?” Omg I'm hearing ghost voices. I shoot up from the bed, knocking the sheets over and standing upright in a jiffy.'Don't be silly, Ruby.' Wait a minute, is the voice in my head? 'Of course silly, it's me your wolf Roxane.' My wolf? “Omg I have a wolf.” I say out loud. 'Of course, duh! It's not a miracle, you are a wolf, aren't you?' “You have an attitude.” I say. “You don't have to sp
RubyWhat do I do now? This is the reason why I didn't want any man. Now, who gives him a reason to behave like that with me? He doesn't know who I am completely. What do I do? I remember, I once took classes in drama, Zama always used to say that I was a good actress. I am going to give him one, he'll of an act that is going to make me get out of this place. I start coughing loudly before he goes further away. I want to capture his attention. I cough as loud as possible and when I hear his footsteps approaching, I start clutching my stomach and making disturbed noises. “Ruby what's wrong.” He comes in rushing beside me and scoops me in his arms running outside and screaming orders to someone I can't even see. By now my eyes are closed partially. I scan my surroundings, it seems where I was kept, it is pretty far from where he is running to. There is a dimly lit corridor which leads to the room I was in. It's like I was a prisoner or something. “Open the gate.” He shouts when he
Ruby's POVI close my eyes as I see his hand moving towards me. But when he doesn't touch me, I open them, only to realize that I am all alone in my room. “Owen.” I call out, but he is nowhere to be seen. Did he just leave me when I wanted to be with him so badly? Maybe he went downstairs. I get off my bed, open my bedroom door and proceed downstairs calling his name every five seconds. “Ruby is that you?” My mother's quivering voice calls out to me. “Mom did you see Owen.” I ask, approaching the living room.“My darling, it's really you.” Tears escape her eyes as she embraces me. “I thought I would never see you again, my dear. I thought that monster had taken you from me.” She adds. “Where were you, Ruby?” Damien's concerned voice makes me realise that my living room is packed. “Did that bastard Owen do anything to you?” Rowan asks, already by my side, checking my whole body. I am so glad to see them both, all I want is to be all alone with them, including Owen. I just can't ex
Ruby’s POVI get to the park earlier than I had intended, I couldn’t wait to see my three gorgeous men. I still don’t know what I am going to talk to them about. All I want is to just see them, maybe this ache in my heart will go away. Surprisingly, they are all here, and they seem to be in a heated argument which stops the moment they spot me. They all stand up pretending to be quiet except Owen, who doesn’t even seem to care. Why does his rebellious nature seem to turn me on? Part of me wants to rush into his arms. He turns to look at me and I see his face light up a little. I guess he read my mind. However, I feel the same way when Damien offers his hand politely, so I can sit down. And Rowan hands me a bottle of water, I don’t even know how he knew I was thirsty after walking all the way here. I take a seat on the bench beside Owen, Rowan sits next to me and Damien kneels before me taking my hand in his. Every contact with them makes me want more, I am afraid if we don't fin
Ruby’s POV“She is waking up.” Rowan's dejected voice says, I open my eyes slowly, I am surprised I am in another environment. How I got here I don’t know. My body seems so heavy, but I don't feel any pain. I remember getting stabbed, and losing my consciousness. Three pairs of eyes are looking at me, the shock and pain is evident in them. Rowan kneels beside me and takes my hand carefully. “I don't know what I could have done if anything bad had happened to you, Ruby.” He speaks his eyes on my hand, I can feel how hard he is holding his tears. “Don't you dare touch her again, blood sucker.” Owen interjects, yanking Rowan off me. This is what made me get hurt, these fights, how am I going to make peace reign between the four of us? “You lost that right when you hurt her.” He adds, blocking the path to both Damien and Rowan with his huge arms. “Stop it please.” I beg. I feel so defeated. “You have to ask them to leave Ruby, you are mine.” “She is mine too.” Damien and Rowan say i
