~Esperanza's POV~I stood still on Ruby’s doorstep, watching the two kids who had just called her "mom." Their bright eyes sparkled with excitement, and their laughter filled the quiet street.“Mom?” I said again, the word feeling strange as it rolled off my tongue. I glanced between Ruby and the kids, a sense of disbelief churning in my chest.“Yes, Esperanza. Here are my little ones,” Ruby replied, her calm demeanor feeling so odd in this moment.Her little girl—her daughter—stepped forward with a grin that could melt glaciers. “Hi! Who are you?”I blinked, still trying to reconcile this scene. “I’m Esperanza. I’m Ruby's… I mean, I'm your mum’s cousin,” I said, my voice faltering slightly.“Oh!” The little girl, a miniature version of Ruby, grinned even wider. “I’m Ruby, too! And that’s my brother… Rhett.”The boy was less bashful. “Hi! I’m Rhett,” he said confidently, sticking out his hand toward me.I knelt slightly to his level, forcing a smile as I shook his hand. “Hello, Rhett,

I stared at her, my thoughts racing. “Ruby…” I started but trailed off, unsure how to continue. “Why didn’t you tell me?”Her face crumpled slightly, her voice cracking as she replied. “I didn’t know how,” she said. “I didn’t want to burden anyone. And honestly, I was scared of what everyone would think.”Her words hit me hard. I reached across the space between us, taking her hand in mine. “You know you can trust me,” I said softly. “We’re family, Ruby. You didn’t have to go through this alone.”Tears glistened in her eyes, but she blinked them away quickly. “I know,” she whispered.The sound of Rhett and little Ruby laughing in the other room broke through the heavy moment. Their giggles felt almost surreal against the tension in the room.“Dad already has a hint about them,” I said cautiously, watching her reaction.Her eyes widened, and I could see panic flash across her face.“But I won’t say anything,” I assured her.Ruby exhaled deeply in relief. “Thank you,” she said.“But yo

~Ruby's POV~Saturday began with a sense of heaviness due to the upcoming event. It was the day of Aunt Jean’s burial, and there was a clear tension in the house. I had just come out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around me, with steam lingering on my skin. As I tied my robe, I made my way to the kids’ room, expecting to find them already dressed and ready.I pushed the door open slightly and peeked in. “Hope you two are almost ready?”The scene inside stopped me dead. There they were, sprawled on the bed with their tablets, eyes glued to their screens, completely oblivious to the passing of time.“Is it time already?” Little Ruby asked, not even looking up.“What do you mean, is it time?” I pushed the door open wider, hands on my hips. “We’re late already!”Both kids shot up, their wide eyes mirroring their surprise. “We are?” they chorused.“To the bathroom. Now!” I said, pointing emphatically to the door.Their tablets clattered onto the bed as they scrambled to obey. Towels slun

~Roman's POV~Kai lounged on the couch, one arm slung over the back as he flicked aimlessly through the channels on the TV. I was seated across from him, sipping coffee, my mind halfway between the room and the thoughts tugging at me.“Aren’t you attending the ceremony anymore?” Kai asked casually, not looking up from the screen.I frowned, trying to piece together what he was talking about. “What ceremony?”Kai raised his brows in mock disbelief. “Ruby’s aunt. The burial?”“Oh, right,” I said, straightening up in my seat. “Yeah, I’m definitely attending.”Kai smirked, his eyes narrowing with amusement. “Hmm… definitely, huh?”“What?” I asked, already sensing where this was headed.Kai tilted his head, the teasing grin growing on his face. “You and I both know the only reason you’re going is because of Ruby.”I scoffed, leaning back against the armrest. “Nonsense. It’s the right thing to do.”“Oh, really?” Kai said, leaning forward now, clearly enjoying himself. “You’re telling me thi

CHAPTER: Facing the crowd.~Ruby's POV~The moment I parked the car outside the venue, my hands tightened around the steering wheel. The murmur of distant voices carried through the air, mingling with the soft rustle of trees swaying in the wind. I glanced at the kids through the rearview mirror.“Remember,” I firmly but gently, “just greet. Do not talk or engage in any discussion with anyone except me or Aunt Esperanza. Okay?”“Alright, Mum,” Rhett and little Ruby chorused, their small faces earnest as they nodded.I smiled faintly, brushing a strand of hair away from my face. “Good. Let’s go.”Stepping out of the car, the clear air hit me, carrying the faint smell of freshly turned soil and lilies. I held Rhett’s hand in one and little Ruby’s hand in the other. Their tiny palms felt warm and comforting. Together, we walked toward the gathering.As we entered, I felt it immediately—the weight of eyes turning to us, the whispers that followed like a ripple through the crowd. Some

Damien’s jaw tightened. “What were you thinking, Ruby? Giving birth before marriage?” His voice was low, but the accusation in his tone was unmistakable.“And by that, you mean?” I shot back, my voice sharp.“You never mentioned having kids,” he said, his voice rising slightly.“I don’t need to tell you everything about my life,” I retorted.He took a step closer, his presence looming. “Sure, but with an outsider? Ruby, this is—”“That’s none of your business,” I cut him off, meeting his gaze with unflinching determination. “I owe no one anything.”“Oh, you think so?” he said, his tone dripping with derision.“What is your issue with me, Uncle Damien?” I demanded, my voice steady despite the storm brewing inside me.“We wouldn’t have an issue if you’d just do the right thing,” he snapped.“And you think you know what the right thing is for me?” I countered, my temper flaring.His eyes narrowed. “Not exactly, but—”“But what, Uncle Damien?” I interrupted again, stepping closer.“But if

~Ruby's POV~The moment I spotted Roman across the burial grounds, a surge of frustration swept over me. Turning back to Rhett and little Ruby, I kept my tone steady. “I’ll come back to this,” I said, my eyes narrowing on Roman as I started walking toward him.As I approached, the man he spoke with stepped away, leaving Roman alone, hands casually resting in his pockets as though he belonged there.“Hey, Ruby,” he said gently..“What are you doing here?” I snapped, cutting straight to the point.“I came to pay my last respects to Aunt Jean,” he replied matter-of-factly.“Last respects?” I scoffed in disbelief. “You didn’t even know her.”Roman’s jaw tightened briefly before he nodded. “You’re right, I didn’t know her well. But she was family to you, which makes her family to me.”I shook my head, glancing away to gather myself. “Oh, I see. And staying at a distance today, is that your way of being respectful?”“It’s… complicated,” he said, his tone hinting at regret. “You wouldn’t und

Ruby's POV The drive back from the burial had been quiet. The kids seemed subdued, lost in their thoughts. I pulled into the driveway, the familiar sight of home bringing a small measure of comfort.As we entered the house, I placed the car keys on the counter and turned to them.“Alright, you both go to your room,” I said.“Alright, Mum,” they chorused, heading toward the hallway.“Make sure you take your baths and change into something comfortable,” I added.“Of course, Mum. You don’t need to remind us,” Rhett said with a hint of exasperation, glancing back at me.I smiled faintly, shaking my head at their retreating figures.Once in my room, I let out a long sigh. The day had been draining, emotionally and physically. The burial, the whispers, the stares—everything had weighed heavily on me. But somehow, it hadn’t been as terrible as I’d feared.As I stepped into the bathroom, I felt the warm water washing away my stress. While I scrubbed, my thoughts turned to the funeral. I rem

The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 260. Peace, finally (Epilogue)
~Teen Ruby's POV~The wind on Silver Frost Peak has a fresh smell in spring—crisp pine, lilacs, and a hint of warmth. It feels calm and settled. It's been almost twelve years since the last war ended. Twelve years since blood was spilled, and we lived in fear. After all this time, our world can finally breathe easy again.And now? The Silver Frost Pack isn't just a stronghold. It's home. It’s laughter echoing from stone balconies. It’s children playing without looking over their shoulders. It’s wolves racing through wildflower fields, not for battle, but for joy.Mom and Dad—they’re not just my parents. They’re legends.Everyone knows Ruby Blackwood D’Angelo and Roman D’Angelo. The Luna who once stood on cracked bones to protect her blood, and the Alpha who bent his power to hold her heart.But at home? They're just Mom and Dad.Dad still smirks when he catches Mom rolling her eyes. Mom still mutters “I swear I’ll murder him” when he forgets to close the back door. He still doesn
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 259. Stay With Me...
Ruby's POVRoman was quiet after the fight. Too quiet.He didn’t complain about the bruises, the slow way he moved, or how he occasionally winced when standing too fast. He just… watched me. Every time I brought him water or pressed a cool cloth to his shoulder, every time I adjusted his bandage or touched his arm longer than necessary—he watched me.Not like a patient. Like a man memorising his reason to stay alive.He didn’t ask for help, but I gave it. Just like he once nursed me when I was broken, lost, confused, and afraid of what I’d become. Back then, his hands had steadied me without demanding anything in return. So now, I gave him the same.It felt… right.The pack had settled for now. No threats. No chaos. No one knocking on the door screaming for blood. Just silence and this fragile space we were building together, like walking on a glass bridge in bare feet.And then, one evening—when the bruising on his cheek had finally faded to a yellow-brown smear and the dark exhaus
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 258. Fire and Ash...
~Roman's POV~The scent hit me first.The smell was heavy and strong—like a mix of blood and smoke in the wet earth. Even though it had rained yesterday, the dampness couldn’t cover up that other smell. It was sharp and metallic, and it felt deeply unsettling.The moonlight filtered through the trees, creating bright spots on the ground while shadows from the low branches danced around us. As Kai and I made our way through the woods, I could hear the crunch of twigs and leaves under my boots, but I wasn't focused on the here and now. My thoughts were racing ahead, wondering what awaited us.And then we saw him.“Rhett?” I stopped short.He was just standing there. Still as stone, eyes wide like he’d seen a ghost. His lips were slightly parted, his skin a few shades too pale.Kai stepped up beside me. “How the hell—?”“I don’t know,” Rhett said quickly. “I swear I don’t. One minute I was in the room... and the next... I was here.”“Sleepwalking?” I asked, my chest tightening as I ste
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 257. Reckoning...
~Ruby’s POV~The wind was sharp that night—cold and wild, like it knew what I was walking into.It didn’t howl. It whispered. Like the trees were holding their breath, the stars refusing to blink. A silence thick enough to hear your own heartbeat in your throat.I left the letter folded neatly on the kitchen counter. One for Roman. One for the twins. I didn’t write much—no drawn-out goodbyes, no sentimental fluff. Just enough for them to understand I had to do this alone.I couldn't risk Roman holding me back. Not with his heart, not with his fear. Not this time.And now I stood beneath the broken arches of the ruined sanctuary, deep in the forest where no streetlights dared to shine. The stones were old, their carvings worn down by the wind and time. Moss covered everything, feeling thick and damp beneath my boots. The shattered stained-glass window above let in bits of moonlight, casting patches of red and blue on the floor like blood and bruises.She was already there, of course.
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 256. Unknown Heritage...
~Ruby's POV~I knew something was wrong the second I saw Rhett sitting on the edge of the couch, shoulders tight, hands tucked beneath his thighs like he was trying to stop himself from shaking. His eyes darted to me when I walked in, then back to the floor.“Mom,” he whispered.I sat beside him. “What is it, baby?”He looked up, his little face pale and frightened. “There was… there was light. From my hands. Like real light, not in my head. It burned.”I bit my lips. Roman had actually told me what he sawI didn’t know what to say at first. I felt Roman’s shadow behind me, his presence instantly tense.“What do you mean, it burned?” I asked carefully.“I dreamed again,” Rhett continued. “Shadows and fire. But this time… when I woke up, my hands were glowing. Like fire, but not hot. And then it stopped. And it happened earlier today during training.” I reached out, gently cupping his cheek. “Did anyone else see it?”He shook his head. “Just me, Aunt Esperanza and Uncle Evan.“Okay,”
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 255. Burst of Light...
~Roman’s POV~The late afternoon sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm glow over the open training field. The air was filled with the sounds of light grunts, the thud of feet on the ground, and the rustle of grass being disturbed by determined movements. I stood just outside the entrance to the field, my hands in my pockets, quietly watching everything happen.In the centre of the clearing, Rhett was hard at work. Sweat trickled down his forehead, and his cheeks were bright red from the effort. His moves were sharp. They weren’t perfect—he was only six, after all—but the fact that he was out here, going up against Evan and Esperanza, said a lot."Keep working on those forms, Rhett!" Evan called out."You're doing really well," Esperanza added from the sideline, her arms crossed, a satisfied smirk on her face.I watched as Rhett adjusted his footing, shifting his weight like Evan taught him. He maintained a wide stance, with his knees bent just enough, his spine straight, and his f
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 254. Back to Claim Him...
~Ruby's POV~“Miss me, Ruby?”My breath caught. My throat went dry. That voice—smooth, mocking, sharp like a blade drawn slowly from its sheath.“Sarah,” I whispered.She laughed. “Still sounds good coming out of your mouth. But don’t worry—I’m not here to play games. Not yet.”And then, just before the line went dead: “Roman is mine and I’ll make sure of it. So be ready, Ruby. I always get what I want.”It echoed in my ears long after the silence took over. The words weren’t new. She’d said them once before, months ago at that party.That night still haunted me.Her red dress. Her wineglass clutched with elegance. Her gaze, like a sniper’s, locked on Roman and burning holes through me.“I don’t know what little fairytale you’re living in,” she’d whispered that night, smiling like we were old friends. “But Roman belongs to me. And I don’t lose.”I hadn't taken it seriously. I’d told myself she was just jealous. Obsessed. Bitter.But now?Now I knew better.I stormed down the hallway.
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 253. Return...
~Kai’s POV~The dim blue glow of my laptop screen was the only light in the office, throwing strange shadows across the scattered papers and empty coffee cups. My fingers flew across the keyboard, heart hammering in my chest as I pulled the last of the encrypted files from Damien’s hidden folder.Almost there. Just a few more seconds.Lines of code scrolled faster than my eyes could follow, the Tribunal’s secure database unravelling in front of me like an old, fragile map. I had hacked into high-clearance systems before—military, government, and even private wolf packs—but this felt different. More dangerous. More... necessary."Come on," I muttered, tapping my foot anxiously.Finally, the upload bar blinked green: SUBMISSION COMPLETE.I sat back with a sharp breath, wiping my forehead with the back of my hand. The files—everything: illegal experiments, secret auctions, conspiracies — were now public. Leaked under a fake, high-level Alpha Court signature. The Tribunal had no choic
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 252. Battle for Silver Frost...
~Ruby's POV~We were under attack.The cold night air hit my face as I stood on the balcony, the wind tugging at my clothes. My heart raced in my chest, pounding hard. Below, I watched as soldiers and warriors sprang into action, their weapons shining in the dim light. I could hear their shouts and the commands being yelled over the growing tension.No time to waste.I quickly turned and raced down the marble stairs, the sound of my boots pounding against the floor ringing in my ears. I wasn’t thinking about the warriors gathering or the enemies getting closer; my main concern was the kids.Always the kids.I reached their room and flung the door open, my breath coming fast.“Mom?” Rhett sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes, confusion twisting his young face.“What’s going on?” Little Ruby asked.I forced a smile — a poor disguise, but the best I could manage. I crouched quickly beside their beds, gathering them close.“Nothing too serious," I said lightly. "Just a small fight. Nothing t
