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. He looks maybe twenty years old or so, he isn’t that older than me. And I guess I am a little bit attracted to him more than the other two.Damien, what can I really say about him? He has amber eyes, he looks so honest. I wouldn’t have minded if he was a little bit rough, like Ow… why does my mind seem to be rushing to him all of the time. He is the alpha of our land and the only son to Alpha Jaxon. Every female in the pack wanted to be his mate, including my friend Zama. I wasn’t a little bit of interest in this mate thing, but here I am now. The moon goddess is quite sarcastic, don’t you think. I never wanted any, yet she gave me three. Let’s talk about Rowan now, I guess he is a vampire or something. He is slender and tall, but not taller than Owen. He has a chiseled jaw line, with high cheekbones. His hazel eyes are quite charming and mesmerizing. They sparkled the moment they met mine, and he had this mischievous and yet stern look. he is just intriguing.His fashion choices, well, he needs a wardrobe change if that’s what he always wears, he had black from head to toe, even his earring. I have never liked a man who wears earrings but, I must confess, they made him look outstanding, and I liked it very much. He moves so gracefully, even when he scooped me in his arms and started running away with me, part of me was willing. But obviously, my scared part won. I didn't want a mate, I detested having one, but being with Owen, made me think twice.The moment I found out about the three, all I wanted was to reject them all, but then I feel like suffocating when they are not with me, as I am feeling right now. It has just been hours away from them, but I can't really take it. As I am facing my ceiling counting how many tiny boxes and flowers are embedded on it as I am in deep thoughts, a sudden fever course's through my body making me clench my fists and pull the duvet on me.My breathing suddenly escalates as every sense in my body heightens. I smell each and everything in my room, I can even smell the beautiful morning outside as the sun is about to shine high up in the sky. I can smell the mud outside, and even the grass. Not only that, but I feel like nature is calling up to me.What's happening to me?I get off my bed and run outside, clinging to the walls for support as all the veins in my body start pulsating. Once outside, I run towards a direction I don't know about.A sudden pain erupts all through my body causing me to lose my balance, I fall on the ground knee's first. All the bones in my body start cracking, shifting and contorting. I release a scream after scream as they elongate and rearranging. The pain is agonizing, I feel like I am going to black out, but my body keeps going. I watch as my fingers elongate and become paws with supple claws which are so sharp. The same happens with the other hand and legs, causing me to fall flat on the ground.My skin erupts with white fur which grows like a flash of light. I feel my consciousness being shifted, and it's like someone entirely different has taken over my body. I open my mouth to scream, but a loud howl is heard instead as I see myself standing on four limbs.I can't believe it, I have my wolf.Everything around me suddenly becomes so vivid and sharp. I can see the pores on leaves, the small creatures on the soil. I can smell everything, and by everything I mean absolutely everything. I didn't know every tree had its own scent, and green, is this how it smells? It's heavenly.I feel a deep connection to nature as sudden power courses through me. I feel so free and untouchable. I want to speak, but I growl instead. I see the white fur being moving softly as the wind blows. I suddenly get the urge to run, but it's difficult since I don't know how to move in four limbs yet.I place my right fore limb forward, and the rest follow. I realize that I am not in control anymore.Weirdly, things start going back to normal, my eyesight begins to dim, I feel the same excruciating pain as my bones crack and rearrange again. The fur disappears and it's replaced by skin.“I can't take this anymore.” I say out loud. I am me again. I also realize that I am totally naked now, I collect myself from the ground and manage to get up.As I turn to get back to the house, I feel so dizzy all of a sudden and I feel myself falling down. But I fall on something so strong, and the smell of wild fruit washes over me again.“You are safe now.” He says, scooping me in his arms. “ I will never let you out of my sight ever again.” He adds as he starts walking in a direction I don't even know about.“Owen.” I manage to say as my body grows heavy, I can't even keep my eyes open anymore. The pain I am feeling is too much for me, I give into it and my world goes blank.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
Ruby’s POV“Ruby.” He looks at me with his ruby eyes, there is something behind them, something I have never seen before. He looks vulnerable, he looks broken, and it's like he has given up. It's so unlike him. “Owen, please don't.” I know he knows what is running in my mind.“But you have already made a choice, beautiful. I have resigned my fate, baby.” He tilts his head sideways and shrugs. “What do you mean?” I ask, wrapping my hands around his neck. “Don't do that baby, you know it really hurt me when you chose Rowan over me, I thought you wanted me more.” He says, I feel how sad he is. “I thought you were going to choose me, you were all that I wanted, you are the person who can save me Ruby, I might sound selfish, but I don't want to be reduced to nothing.” He smiles feebly.“What do you mean by save, Owen.” I ask. “It doesn't matter, seeing you earlier on the verge of death, made me realize that you are the most important person in my life and that your safety and happiness
Ruby’s POV “Wooow, what's this place?” I ask when I find myself standing in front of an expansive compound and in front of me there is the hugest house I have ever seen. It looks like some kind of Palace. “Come.” He says taking my hand, he leads me towards the palace, there is a fountain right outside it and two wooden carvings of dolphins at the either side of the wide door. There is an actual cemented floor on the compound the paths leading to the palace. Besides the paths, there are beautiful flowers planted. It's breathtaking. Wow, the door automatically opens when we get near it automatically shuts the moment we are inside. My jaw almost drops once we are inside. The entire first floor is furnished, it's so wide that I can't see the end. What surprises me is that I haven't seen a single soul since we stepped in here. A house this huge, how can no one be around? “Are you alright Ruby?” Rowan asks turning around to look at me. I just nod, I am a little scared, I came to an unkn
Ruby’s POVWhat's wrong with me, the more I kiss him, the more I want him. But something seems a miss, it's like he isn't enough, it's like he can't satiate me. My mind keeps on wandering to Damien and Owen. I find myself wishing that they were here with us. I feel incomplete without them.I slowly pull myself away from Rowan. “I am starving.” I smile. “I know, I can hear the rumbling already.” He kisses my cheek and puts me down. “Why don't you make yourself comfortable, and I will be with you in a short while, alright.” He says, smiling. I really thought that he was grumpy and all, but he looks so different, homely I can say. I just lie on the couch and wait.The next thing I know, I am being woken up by a kiss on the forehead. I open my eyes slowly, Rowan's smiley face greets me, he is kneeling beside me. All I can see in his eyes is his love for me. “Hey, love, the food is ready.” He says. “Sorry, I took too long.” “It's fine.” I get off the seat, my body feels so heavy. I fee
