Rejected By The Beta, Married To The Alpha

Ruby cried to herself all night, and Alexa made it worse by slyly commenting on how Alpha Kane loved sex and had a high libido. Ruby wasn’t worried about sex; it was just that she wanted to do it with the person she wanted.Her father had dismissed her, telling her to take whatever she could carry, because she was leaving as soon as possible. Ruby didn’t want to take anything that reminded her of this home. She missed her mom; her mom would have been there to comfort her, probably sing her old Mexican songs—Ruby chuckled despite herself. Her mother sang like an angel. Even though Ruby didn’t understand the songs one bit, she still found them endearing and would drift off to sleep.Ruby sighed and cleaned her eyes. She gathered the clothes she needed into a backpack. She needed nothing else. She couldn’t even believe that her father had sold her—yes, sold, that was the right word—to Alpha Kane. From what Ruby knew, he was ruthless. She felt this was a punishment from her father for “ru

She nodded her greetings to Ruby.“Do you know where Kane is. I can’t seem to find him” Ruby asked.“At the gardens, inspecting so

Ruby didn’t leave her room all morning. She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling the dull ache in her body. She wasn’t sure if it was the pain that kept her still or the weight of everything that had happened last night. She wasn’t stupid. She had known Kane was cruel. She had known he had no interest in love or kindness. But last night, for a brief second, she had seen something else—something hidden beneath all that rage of his and now, she couldn’t stop thinking about it. Gloria had stayed with her for a while, offering advice on how to handle him. Handle. She chuckled inwardly, as if Kane was just another problem to solve. Maybe he was but he was also like the storm in his eyes—violent, unpredictable, and very much impossible to control.Still, he had chosen her.
