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
Ruby’s POV“Owen, you are here." I feel so happy seeing him in front of me. I move to where he is and embrace him from behind. Earlier, I felt like I was missing something, but now that he is here, I am glad my night will end well. “Yes I am Ruby, right here with you.” He answers, turning to face me. “Aren't you angry with me?” I ask. I got the vibe that he might be when I noticed him in my room. And he definitely listened to my thoughts about Rowan. “No I am not, how am I even going to bring myself to be angry at your baby.” He asks, cupping my face in his huge palm. "And that Rowan guy, can't surpass me in anything, I have so much faith in myself Ruby." He adds with so much confidence, this is what attracts me about his personality. “Thank goodness, I was so afraid that I would never see you again Owen.”“Well to be honest, I was really mad when you chose Rowan first. But then I saw how broken he looked after hurting you. The whole time you were unconscious, he was miserable, I
RubyToday is a new day. I wake up jovial and content, hop into the shower, I take almost thirty minutes just getting in there. I then doll myself up as I always do, well, let's say before all these chaos of three mates.I put on my off - shoulder black body con dress, black chunky heels and my favorite black Gucci handbag, I do full makeup, and then I wear my hair into a perfect ponytail, I finish my look with my loop earrings. In my purse I make sure to carry a small mirror, powder, brush, and my favorite pink lipstick. There is always a price to pay when wearing makeup. I make sure I look ravishing before stepping out of my room. I always hate having to rely on people to give me compliments, that's why I make sure I am happy with my look first before stepping out. I head downstairs slowly and carefully I can't risk tripping, I don't want to have to start dolling myself up all over again. “Darling you look gorgeous.” My mum says to me from the bottom of the stairs. I hadn't not
Ruby's POV “Are we early? OMG Zama there is no one here.” I say when I realize that the hall has no one in it. All this dress up for nothing? But this was supposed to be the venue. “I can see that, bestie, but there must be an explanation to this.” She says, looking around. “Hey maid, come here.” She shouts when one of the Alphas maids walks by.“Zama, did you have to call her like that?”“She is a maid, isn’t she?” I rest my case, sometimes I wonder how we became friends, and she is always so insensitive with others. How did we become friends again? I don't remember. “How may I help you miss?” she asks, bowing a little. “Where is the party.” Zama asks.“It’s in the woods, at the lake house.” She says, I didn’t know there was a lake near the Alphas’ house. “Okay, swoosh.” Zama says shooing her hand at the girl. “Thank you.” I say to the her, she smiles before leaving. I could see how upset Zama had made her, at least my thank you will change things a bit. there is no controllin
