LOGINWeirdly, being carried in his arms felt good. Ruby could feel his chest beating, he smelled nice and the scent was intoxicating. Her eyes dropped and she wrapped her arms around his torso. Just when she was enjoying being carried about she was tossed unceremoniously on a bed. Her eyes widened in alarm and she scrambled backwards.
“Please no, I am not ready yet.” She pleaded and his green eyes narrowed. “Am I supposed to even care?” he growled and she moved back further. “Please. I don’t want to do it this way” she begged and he raised a brow. “Like I said, I don't care what you want” In one smooth move, he took off his shirt. “I have to mark you, claim you. No one touches my property and you Ruby are my property. I hear you are a virgin” he stated and Ruby started sobbing. The way he looked at her was more scary than anything in her life, he looked at her with no compassion, no emotion, just raw lust. He grabbed her leg and pulled her forward. Ruby squealed and struggled but he wasn’t having it, he pinned her underneath him and grinned. “I don’t care about your tears, love. What I want right now is your tasty fruit. And spoiler—I am gonna break you. But also you’ll want nobody but me alone but today? It's gonna be my way. No special moment for you” he grinned and in the blink of an eye tore off her clothes. Ruby struggled and even punched him in the face. Kane growled angrily and grabbed her hands, both of them in one hand. Ruby struggled but his grip was like pincers, strong and unyielding. He grabbed her buttons of her pants and snapped it with a thumb and dragged the material down leaving her nude. “Don’t do this. I know you are not as evil as people claim. You used to be a good man!” Ruby desperately cried and Kane paused for a moment. He looked pretty uncomfortable but then he smiled, a psychotic smile. “Yeah I used to be, but I am not anymore” he took off his pants and Ruby struggled harder but he was too strong. It was like wrestling with a brick wall. “Please” Ruby whimpered and Kane glared at her, his green eyes burning brighter than before. “Don’t worry wife, you’ll enjoy it” he rasped and entered her. Ruby cried out in pain, whimpering and sobbing. For a moment Kane just stayed like that. Ruby opened her eyes to see him just watching her. She held eye contact, neither of them wanting to break it until Ruby was forced to look away. But she felt a small glimmer of hope because in those emerald green eyes, she had seen an emotion—-pity. She didn’t like it, but it was enough…..for now. Soon Ruby couldn’t feel the pain between her legs, only the feel of him inside her buried deep to the hilt. It felt good all of a sudden and it made her feel more like a woman. She tentatively raised her hands to his face and touched it. Kane closed his green eyes at her touch and even let her stroke his hair. He opened his green eyes again and smirked down at her. “Now I am going to be rough. You are the first person I let get through the pain” he paused. “And I don’t even know why” Ruby was lost into those eyes, she wanted to please him, she wanted to be anything he wanted. She wanted to be his. “I don’t mind,” she blurted out. Kane didn’t respond; he only withdrew and pushed back in. Ruby let out a moan and wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. Suddenly it felt so good that it felt like she was going to die. Kane was rough but she liked it. She felt the pleasure wash over her like a tidal wave. Ruby whimpered in pleasure as Kane moved. Kane groaned and buried his face in the crook of her neck. Ruby stroked his hair, softly whispering words that even she couldn’t comprehend in his ear. Suddenly she started to feel pressure build from her head right to her stomach and suddenly she clenched herself around him as the pleasures of climax took over her body. She dug her fingers into his hair and cried out his name. Kane groaned loudly and dealt her furious strokes before he released, right in her. Ruby didn’t object; she just rubbed her hands on his back and let him. She knew she was going to get pregnant but if this was what she was going to be enjoying then she didn’t mind. Kane shuddered, he just stayed like that on her, both of them connected. “By Lycan, Ruby you are so damn sweet” he rasped and propped himself on his elbows to look at her. “I have never been this soft with any woman” he confessed and Ruby smiled. “You are scary when you want to be, you still are” she said and Kane smiled. Ruby raised her hands to touch his face again but he grabbed them and put them back at her sides. “Don’t” he warned. He sounded serious, surprising Ruby. “Did I do something wrong, my master” she said and Kane's eyes flickered to hers at that. “Don’t touch me like that unless I’ll keep on banging you until you’ll never walk again” he waned. Ruby wrapped her legs tighter around his waist. “But I want you to” she said and Kane shook his head. He pried her legs away from hIs waist. “You don’t know me obviously, better just take this opportunity of seeing my good side. For now, I want you with me everyday” Kane rumbled and Ruby smiled. Maybe this arranged marriage thing wasn’t so bad after all But Kane wasn’t predictable. In short her problems were only beginning.Ruby's POVI woke alone in my bed the next morning and the space beside me was cold. For a moment, I thought last night had been a dream. That Kane had not actually opened up to me and let me see beneath the armor he wore. That I had not held him while he grieved for a family ten years dead.Then I saw his shirt draped over the chair by the window. He had left it behind and that small detail made my heart skip. It was a sign, however tiny, that maybe last night had meant something to him too.I was pulling on a dress when Gloria burst through my door without knocking. Her face was pale and her usual composure had cracked around the edges."We have a problem," she said.My stomach dropped. "What kind of problem?""The kind with long legs and a history with your husband." Gloria moved to my closet and started pulling out dresses with sharp, agitated movements. "Kane has a visitor. Isabella Blackthorn. She is an alpha from the neighboring Blackthorn pack."The name meant nothing to me bu
Kane's POVI came to her room with every intention of putting Ruby back in her place. The thought of her discussing my private business with Gloria, dissecting my past like some medical specimen, made my blood boil. No one had the right to talk about my family. No one had the right to analyze my pain like it was something they could understand or fix.But when I stepped through that door and saw her standing there at the mirror, something stopped me. There was no fear in her eyes when she turned. It was not the trembling submission I had grown accustomed to seeing in people's faces. It was understanding and that was somehow worse than pity would have been.She looked at me like she could see straight through the armor I wore. Like she knew exactly what I was and why I had become this way. It infuriated me and disarmed me at the same time."How much did Gloria tell you?" I asked, my voice coming out rougher than I intended.Ruby did not look away. "Enough.""Enough to what? Feel sorry
Ruby's POV Gloria arrived at my room early the next morning with tea and a determined look on her face. She did not knock and she did not wait for permission. She just walked in like she owned the place and set the tea tray down on the small table by the window."Get up," she said. "We have work to do."I sat up slowly, my body still aching from last night. The humiliation was still fresh and the memory of Kane's cold dismissal burned in my chest like acid. But Gloria was not interested in my pain. She pulled open the curtains and sunlight flooded the room."If you want to survive here, you need to stop acting like a victim," she said, pouring the tea. "Kane does not respect weakness. He never will.""I am not weak," I said quietly."Then stop acting like it." She handed me a cup. "Drink. We have a lot to cover and not much time."The tea was bitter but warm. I wrapped my hands around the cup and let the heat seep into my fingers. Gloria sat across from me and studied my face like she
True to his words, it was only by Ruby’s werewolf genes that she was able to walk. Kane had kept going all night and left her screaming. He had left after he was done without another word, and Ruby had sobbed to herself. Why was he so hard, so hard to see through, what made him so reluctant to show emotions? Was it past traumas or did he just decide to be that way? Was he born that way She had never felt so exposed, raw, and vulnerable in her life. Kane had broken her last night, but she refused to be broken. Even through the ordeal, she stared at him right in the eye, maintaining eye contact. It had broken her to see those eyes that she thought held life look so dead. Ruby managed to slide off the bed and stare at the mirror. Her hair was a mess where Kane had grabbed it. Her face was red, and her eyes were puffy from crying. It looked like someone had run her over with a car. The door creaked open, and the maid from yesterday came in with her vacuum cleaner. She gave one look a
Kane pretty much avoided her after the sex session. Ruby didn’t know if she could call it avoid or just keeping her mute, he would see her and not even give the barest hint of a smile. Just give her his smoldering look and turn away.Ruby also knew why he was like that, she had seen through his tough exterior and he didn’t want that. He didn’t trust her with it, he didn’t trust what she would do with that knowledge.He didn’t know she didn’t see him the way others saw him. All Ruby hoped for was a good marriage, one that would work and shock members of the crescent lune pack. Ruby stared at herself in the mirror and held her stomach imagining how it would feel to have Kane children. They would be as powerful as he is. She wanted them to be dark haired like he was and have his smoky green eyes.The door opened and a maid walked in, holding a vacuum cleaner. 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 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,
I, Beta Atlas Redding, reject you, Ruby Angelo, as my mate.”These words kept playing in Ruby’s head as she stared at the roof of her room. She hated herself, she hated her life—her life sucked.Beta Atlas was her mate, but as soon as he found out, he was… disgusted, furious, and he had outrightly
