Ruby’s POV

It was Saturday.

Rebecca and I talked about our project first thing in the morning. We checked each point carefully. She seemed excited, but I was too tired to smile.

Later, we went to the sports activity center. As we walked in, I noticed something small but wrong. Owen’s name tag was placed on the wrong seat. I quietly moved it to the right spot. It was just part of my job.

Then I looked up—and saw him.

Austin.

He was standing near the ice rink. At first, he didn’t seem to recogni

  • On My Ex's Brother's Bed   Chapter 110: You're Awake?

    Ruby's POV Their footsteps closed in, and the world pressed in around me. The drug pulled at me until the fight left me. I must have lost consciousness.When I came to, my head felt heavy before my eyes even opened. The air was sharp with the smell of disinfectant. When I finally blinked into focus, I realized I wasn’t in a normal room.Clear walls surrounded me, thick, smooth panels that looked like glass. No windows. No sound except the faint hum of air vents above me.My throat burned as I tried to swallow. My clothes were rumpled, my skin clammy. The fog in my head told me the drug had finally worn off, but my body still felt weak.I tried to sit up, but I couldn't. My wrists and ankles were strapped tightly to the bedframe with thick, padded restraints. I tugged at them but they didn’t budge.Panic surged through me.“Hello?” My voice came out rough, barely a whisper at first. I cleared my throat and tried again, louder this time. “Is anyone out there?”Silence.I twisted harde

  • On My Ex's Brother's Bed   Chapter 109: I Respect Honesty

    Ruby's POV The moment I stepped past Austin, my heart gave a small, painful twist. I didn’t even dare look at him. All I wanted was to reach Mr. Anderson and get this over with.When I finally stopped in front of him, I forced a polite smile and tried to breathe. “Mr. Anderson, thank you for coming.”He nodded, expression serious. “Ruby,” he said, glancing between me and John, “there are rumors spreading about your marriage. Are they true?”My throat tightened. This was my chance. One sentence and the truth would finally be out.“Well,” I started. “John and I—”Before I could finish, John’s phone screen appeared in front of me. A video played silently of my adoptive mother, laughing as she shopped, escorted by two men I didn’t recognize. My stomach dropped.I froze. He was warning me. The words died in my throat.John slipped the phone back into his pocket, then slid an arm around my waist, his fingers pressing hard enough to bruise. “Of course not,” he said smoothly. “Everything bet

  • On My Ex's Brother's Bed   Chapter 108: Don't Waste Your Energy On Impossible People

    Austin's POV The banquet hall shimmered with gold light and quiet chatter, but all I could see was Ruby.She stood near the entrance with John, their expressions tight. They were clearly arguing. Then, after a moment, she slipped her arm through his and walked in as if nothing had happened.My grip on the wine glass tightened until I felt the cold stem dig into my palm.Mother caught the movement. “You’re not getting any younger,” she said softly, pretending to fix her hair. “It’s time you found a proper Luna—a werewolf Luna. Don’t waste your energy on impossible people.”Her words landed like a weight I didn’t want to carry.She followed my gaze to the lower floor and gave a knowing smile. “That human woman is trouble, Austin. Mark my words.” Then, after a brief pause, she added, “By the way, that kiss mark on your neck last time, was that her doing?”“It was nothing,” I said quickly. “The poor quality fabric from my shirt irritated my skin.”Mother chuckled lightly. “Allergic react

  • On My Ex's Brother's Bed   Chapter 107: You're A Hypocrite

    Ruby's POV The fear curdled into anger. For years, I’d let him control the narrative. He always made me question myself and silenced me with threats. But not this time.“Don’t act like you’re the victim,” I snapped, my voice shaking with anger. “You’re a hypocrite, John. I must’ve been blind to ever believe you were anything else.”His lips curved into that familiar, cold smirk. “I’m the hypocrite? You pushed me to this, Ruby. You and your little drama about divorce.” He reached into his jacket and pulled out two plane tickets, waving them in my face. “I already bought the tickets. You’re coming with me. So be smart and play your part.”I stared at him, disgust boiling up inside me. Every word he said only reminded me how far he’d fallen and how far I’d fallen with him.“Unbelievable,” I muttered under my breath.Rebecca appeared at my side, eyes full of concern. “Ruby, what’s going on?”I forced a smile. “Nothing. Just… work stuff. I’ll explain later.” Then I turned back to John, my

  • On My Ex's Brother's Bed   Chapter 106: You Know What I'm Capable of

    Ruby's POV The bar sat just outside the stadium, glowing under warm lights as Austin’s teammates crowded inside, laughing and cheering over their victory. They deserved to celebrate and I had quickly made all the arrangements to ensure they had a good time. Austin lingered outside, still wearing his team jacket.I walked over, lightly bumping his arm. “Hey,” I said softly. “Don’t let your mom’s words get to you. You played great tonight. That’s what everyone’s going to remember.”He looked down at me, eyes golden under the streetlight. “It’s not that easy, Ruby. You don’t know what she’s like.”“I know enough,” I said, forcing a small smile. “But you shouldn’t let her ruin your win. You earned this.”He hesitated, then gave a small nod. “Thanks.”“Go,” I told him gently, nodding toward the bar. “They’re waiting for you. You should celebrate too.”He lingered a moment longer, like he wanted to say something else, but in the end, he turned and headed toward the others. Their laughter

  • On My Ex's Brother's Bed   Chapter 105: We Earned It

    Austin's POV The ice rink was colder than usual, the air biting at my lungs as I skated another lap. The second hockey match between our Pack and the Full Moon Clan was only days away, and the pressure was closing in fast.I’d sent someone to deliver a ticket to Ruby earlier. I didn’t even know why. Maybe I wanted her to see me play again, or maybe I just needed to know if she still cared enough to show up. But there was no guarantee she would.“Again!” my mother’s voice cracked through the rink.She stood by the boards, arms crossed, her expression sharp. She wasn’t just observing practice anymore, she was running it. The captain barely spoke these days; every call came from her.I turned hard, skates biting into the ice, pushing until my legs burned. My teammates were just as exhausted, but no one dared slow down. Under her command, slowing down wasn’t an option.“Faster, Austin!” she snapped. “The Full Moon Clan won’t show mercy!”Her voice echoed in my head even after the whistle
