Everleigh was left in bewilderment. Her life was turned upside down in a matter of minutes because of the revelation. She knew a little about Rufus; Rujan spoke of him in a limited way, and she didn’t pry, though the animosity between the two of them was obvious.

Rufus was famous in the business world, and he was on the front cover of the famous magazine last year and was interviewed a few times. Seeing him in person was different. His personality was striking and intimidating.

The business world considered him ruthless in his dealings. Some articles even insinuate that his other resources came from the underworld. Though the world knew that the Griswolds were ancient with old money, she went to the balcony and watched her boys play with their father on the field. They were happy and carefree. She never saw them this happy. They were always cautious, and they matured at an early age. Her heart breaks when she realizes how much they missed in their lives. Kids are supposed to be playing all the time and with their parents all the time. But Rujan was always out because of work.

Again, the realization hit her: Why was Rufus claiming that they had a relationship before? Why did Rujan lie about it? She remembered her family, but she can’t remember anything about them. Rujan told her that she has a father and a married younger sister. He also explained the risk of seeing them, and now that she was here, she wanted to meet her family.

If Rufus was telling the truth, she has all the reason to hate Rujan. She touched her chest; she couldn’t feel any hatred towards him. Rujan was with her through her ups and downs. She needed some explanation from him.

Besides, she happened to know Rujan’s secret. He saved her and the boys many times when the enemies appeared. She didn’t even know who the enemy was. They were hiding these past years and learned not to trust anyone.

Right, she can’t trust Rufus. She can’t believe what he said. He’s a cold businessman, and he worked for his advantage. She also can’t deny the fact that she needed his protection. She will play along with him and investigate. All she wanted was to live a normal life with her boys and Rujan.

Rufus looked up and saw her standing on the balcony, watching them. He grinned, but it was immediately replaced by a scowl and a loud growl. She frowned. Why had he changed his expression so suddenly? She noticed security personnel who were watching them also looked at her. Rufus’ gaze went to her body, and she gasped when she realized she was only wearing a flimsy nightgown Rufus chose for her.

She immediately turned and went back inside. Her heart was beating so fast, and she decided to go to the room assigned to her. She found Sonya cleaning her room. She wanted to confirm something.

“Is this my old room?" She asked, looking at the expensive clothes and bags in the closet.

Sonya’s eyes widened with surprise, but she pretended not to notice it. “How do you? I mean, yes, this is your room.”

“So, Rufus maintained this, hoping that I'd come back?" She asked, fishing for more answers.

“Yes, Alpha maintained everything, even the library and the garden. He meticulously cared for the plants you planted, and he even read books about gardening.”

“Gardening? I never had a chance to plant anything because I was so busy with the boys and from our daily struggle,” she told herself and sighed.

“Did I buy these things?," she asked again, referring to the luxury bags and shoes arranged inside the closet.

“No, Alpha bought these things for you. You only buy rare plants.”

“Did we happen to meet before? ”

“Yes, Lu... I mean yes, but I was in college at the time and someone was assisting you,” she said, and she frowned when she mentioned it.

“Is that someone here? ”

“No, Alpha kicked her out and punished her family for neglecting you.”

“That was harsh! ," she exclaimed. Sonya frowned, as if objecting to her comment.

“Did you go to college?" Why are you here, then? ”

Sonya smiled. “My ancestors have been working with Alpha’s family for centuries, and I am happy working with him. He’s generous and kind.”

She raised her brow at her; what she said was the opposite of her opinion of him. Then she suddenly felt sad. “Rujan said I was in college when I got pregnant and didn’t have the chance to graduate.”

“You can go back to school. Alpha owned the community college here.”

“I don’t think that will be my priority for now. I have kids, and I need to work for their education.”

Sonya gasped in disbelief. “You don’t need to work. Alpha will provide for all of you. He provided for all of us.”

“The boys will go to school tomorrow, and so will you. I already talked to the school director to let you know since you were a sophomore when you left.” Rufus interrupted them to their surprise.

“You can’t decide something big like that for us! ”she said angrily.

“I can decide everything about you and your future, Everleigh. I want you and my boys to live a normal life. You’ve been living like a rat for the past years, thanks to my hell of a brother.”

“You’re such a despicable person! You never respected me. You don’t own me! ", she said angrily. She was about to turn, but she swayed a little. Rufus was already beside her and scooped her.

“You and the kids are important to me, baby; remember that. Don’t fight me; I just granted your heart’s desire. You were great in school. You got high grades, and your professors were all singing praises of you. You are also famous with boys.” He growled when he mentioned it.

“I don’t remember anything about it or about you except that your smell was familiar.”

"That is because I am your mate,” he said, grinning and looking satisfied. “Now, let’s see our excited boys preparation for school tomorrow.”

"This is too much, Rufus," she protested lamely.

"Nothing is too much for you, baby.  Let me pamper you. Leave everything to me."

"Why did I leave you, Rufus? Did you do something that made me leave you?

  • The Beloved Mate of Alpha Rufus   New Horizon

    The summer sun bathed the villa in a warm, golden glow, casting soft reflections on the azure waves beyond the balcony. Everleigh stood quietly, her hands resting on the wooden railing as she watched her children playing in the garden below. Their sons, now in middle school, were magnets for giggling girls who lingered at the edges of the estate, daring one another to get closer. Meanwhile, their daughters, fierce and passionate, sparred energetically in the courtyard, their movements fluid and precise. Rujan and Richard stood nearby, grinning proudly as they gave pointers, their laughter ringing through the air.A warm pair of arms suddenly encircled her waist from behind, pulling her into a familiar embrace. She didn’t need to look to know it was Rufus. His presence, his strength, and his scent—a heady mix of cedarwood and something distinctly his—wrapped around her like a cocoon. He pressed his lips to her temple, his voice a low rumble against her ear.“How are you feeling, my love

  • The Beloved Mate of Alpha Rufus   The Desperate Past

    The gentle sound of waves lapping at the shore was accompanied by the warmth of the sun overhead as Rufus and Everleigh lounged on the pristine beach. Everleigh reclined on a cushioned chaise, her eyes closed, soaking in the serenity of the moment. Rufus, shirtless and bronzed by the sun, was lying beside her, a contented smile playing on his lips as he watched her.Their peaceful moment was interrupted when Whitton approached, his expression apologetic but professional. “Forgive me, Alpha,” he said with a small bow. “Mrs. Warner is in the living room. She wants to talk to you about her husband.”Rufus sighed deeply, his brow furrowing slightly. “Mrs. Warner?” he muttered, clearly not thrilled by the intrusion. Then he turned to Everleigh, his tone softening. “Come with me, love.”Without opening her eyes, Everleigh shook her head. “No, you handle that woman. I want to stay here,” she replied, her tone

  • The Beloved Mate of Alpha Rufus   Royal Feast

    The tense air in the ceremonial hall thickened as two more individuals were brought forward—a human male and a she-wolf, both trembling under the weight of their punishment. The human, Juan Pablo, stood tall but pale, his expression a mix of defiance and fear, while the she-wolf beside him kept her head bowed, her hands clenched into fists.The Queen Luna, ever poised and commanding, fixed her gaze upon them. “You,” she began, her voice sharp and clear, echoing through the chamber, “dared to bring a human into the sacred ceremony, violating the absolute rule. You have betrayed not only your mate but also the sanctity of this ritual.”Everleigh’s heart thudded in her chest as she watched. She had been captivated earlier by the Queen Luna’s grace and authority, but now, as she witnessed justice unfold, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity for the pair. She leaned closer to Rufus, whispering, “Is there a dungeon i

  • The Beloved Mate of Alpha Rufus   Royal Powers

    Draped in a flowing champagne-colored one-shoulder gown that shimmered subtly under the ceremonial lights, Everleigh sat poised beside Rufus, her fingers lightly brushing his arm. The ceremony unfolded before them, rich with tradition and grandeur. Earlier, they had attended Theo and Savannah’s heartfelt union, where the couple had worn elegant silver attire—a nod to their purity and commitment. Now, they watched as the royal Luna Queen and Alpha King, resplendent in striking red, black, and gold garments, presided over the sacred blood ritual. Their regal presence exuded authority, their movements deliberate and commanding.The air was thick with solemnity, the weight of centuries-old tradition palpable. Everleigh’s wide, curious eyes drank in every detail, her fascination evident. The Queen’s ceremonial gown glimmered like embers, its gold threading catching the flickering light of the ceremonial fires, while the Alpha King’s cape billowed dram

  • The Beloved Mate of Alpha Rufus   Ignorance of the Law

    Everleigh felt Rufus stiffen beside her, his grip tightening on her waist. He pulled her closer, shielding her as his eyes darkened dangerously. A deep growl rumbled from his chest, low and menacing, as Lander’s gaze swept over her and lingered far too long on the curve of her figure beneath the silk robe.The growl was enough to ignite the gathering. Wolves snarled, their hackles rising in unison, a collective warning that echoed in the clearing. Everleigh instinctively leaned into Rufus, her pulse quickening as the tension grew.Rufus’s voice, sharp and commanding, cut through the noise. “Keep your eyes off my mate,” he snarled at Lander, his tone leaving no room for argument.Lander’s face flushed, a mixture of defiance and unease flashing in his eyes. Alice grabbed his arm, her expression tight with frustration as she tried to pull him back.“What are they doing here?” Everleigh whispered to Rufus, her voice laced with confusion. “I thought the royals

  • The Beloved Mate of Alpha Rufus   Wolf's Play

    The moonlight bathed the playground of wolves in a silvery glow, casting long shadows across the glistening grass. Inside the secluded tent, Everleigh’s world was reduced to the wolf before her—Dark, her mate, her everything. His body, powerful and unyielding, moved against hers, their connection an exquisite symphony of need and love.His arousal stirred to life inside her, swelling, shifting, sending electrifying waves of pleasure coursing through her body. She gasped, her head falling back as her senses lit up, every nerve attuned to the intensity of his presence.“Yes,” he murmured, his voice a low, guttural promise as his dark lashes lifted, revealing the smoldering beauty of his gaze. His eyes held hers, raw and honest, as he pressed deeper, his body demanding what she was all too willing to give. “I’m staying inside you all night,” he said, his voice velvet-soft but commanding, each word a vow.H
