"Too late," Zeke said, his voice suddenly changed – hollow, as if someone else spoke through him. "The summoning has begun."

Sienna fought against his grip. "Zeke, this isn't you! Fight it!"

For a moment, conflict crossed his face. Then his eyes hardened. "This is exactly who I am, sister. Who we both are. The Queen's children."

My blood went cold. The Queen's children?

"That's impossible," Sienna gasped.

Zeke smiled sadly. "Why do you think she wants us both? Our mother didn't die. She became the Midnight Queen."

The ground beneath the blood circle cracked open. Dark smoke poured out, whirling around the twins.

"We need help!" I yelled to Ronan. "Get Kieran!"

Ronan paused, clearly torn between getting help and staying with Sienna.

"Go!" I pushed. "I'll stay with her."

As he raced back toward the camp, I pressed against the barrier, looking for any weakness. Inside, Sienna was still fighting, flames bursting from her free hand.

"Sienna!" I called. "Listen to me! Your blood is special

    Through our relationship, I felt her understanding. The Ruby Wolf family was never about opening gates, it was about keeping them closed.My physical eyes snapped open, glowing silver. The Queen smiled down at me, missing what was happening."Welcome back, my son," she said. "Do you remember now? Do you see our purpose?"I forced myself to nod, though it took all my strength. "Yes, Mother. I remember everything."She helped me sit up on the altar. My body felt strangethe silver marks had spread across my chest, down my arms. Power hummed beneath my skin, unlike anything I'd felt before.The Queen had tested on me since birth, turning me into something more than werewolf. The hybrid abilities she'd made were unpredictable, dangerous.Perfect for what I needed to do."The pack is breaking through," one of her followers yelled.The Queen turned away. "Keep them back!

  • The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster   Trapped in Darkness

    Darius's POV I ran through the trees, heart pounding in my chest. Behind me followed Elena, Morgan, and three younger dogs from the pack. The sounds of fighting faded as we moved deeper into the woods. "This way," I called over my shoulder. "There's a passage beneath the old oak that leads to the safe house." The Blood Moon hung above us, soaking everything in an eerie red glow. The same moon that watched as the Midnight Queen tried to open the Celestial Gate. The same moon that watched Zeke and Sienna join powers against their mother. And the same moon that would reveal me if I wasn't careful. "Kieran ordered full evacuation," Elena said, her voice tight with fear. "The younger ones and elders first." I nodded, trying to look worried. "The passage will get them to safety while the warriors hold the line." What none of them knew was that I'd been reporting to the Midnight Syndicate for years. Every secret, every weakness of the Shadowfang PackI had passed it all along. But no

    Isa's POVMy fingers shook as I dropped three blood-red berries into the bubbling cauldron. The mixture hissed and turned from dirty brown to deep purple. Perfect."That's the seventh batch tonight," I muttered, wiping sweat from my face.All around me, the safe house buzzed with activity. Frightened pack members huddled together while fighters prepared for battle. The departure had brought chaos, exactly as the Midnight Queen planned.I poured the protection potion into small leather pouches, adding a mumbled spell to each one. Protection magic, yesbut with a secret tracking spell woven through it like invisible thread.The Midnight Syndicate had trained me well."Isa, are those ready?" Elena burst through the cabin door, her face dirty and hair wild from the tunnel escape. "We need them now."My heart skipped at the sight of her. This wasn't meant to happen. Black Moon witches didn't form attachments. Especially not to monsters."Just finished," I said, giving her the stack of pouch

    Kieran's POVThe red beam of light shot through the sky like a warning. My heart pounded as I ran back toward the safe house, leaving the ritual site behind. The twins had somehow started the gate opening process without me. Without Sienna.My wolf growled inside me, demanding I turn back to find her. But Elena and the pack needed me first.I broke through the tree line at full speed, skidding to a stop at the sight before me. Wolves scattered in fear. Children crying. The smell of fear so thick I could taste it."Alpha!" Morgan spotted me first, running over with blood smeared across her face. "Thank the moon you're here.""What happened?" I asked, grabbing her shoulders. "Where's Elena?"Morgan pointed toward the main house. "She's hurt. Badly."Ice filled my veins as I sprinted toward the cabin, pushing aside anyone in my path. Inside, I found Elena lying on a homemade bed, her neck and shoulder torn open. The smell of silver poison filled my nose."Who did this?" I growled, droppi

    Sienna's POVCold metal bit into my wrists as I pulled against the chains. The Queen had me bound to an old stone altar, the red beam of light shooting up from the center. My blood was already mixed into the ritual, taken while I was unconscious."Stop fighting, little Ruby," the Queen said, circling me like a hungry animal. "Your mate is coming. Soon, we'll have all three sacrifices."My heart raced at the mention of Kieran. "He won't fall for your trap."The Queen smiled, her beautiful face twisted with evil. "He already has. Love makes fools of even the strongest Alphas."I looked around desperately. The clearing was filled with Syndicate followers, their silver marks glowing in the moonlight. Zeke stood nearby, his face blank as he watched me struggle."Zeke," I called to my brother. "Please. This isn't right."His eyes flickered with somethingdoubt, maybe. But he turned away.A commotion at the edge of the area caught everyone's attention. Guards pulled in a battered figure, thro

    Ronan's POV"Run," Kieran whispered to Sienna.I grabbed them both by the shoulders. "This way!" I yelled over the Queen's terrifying transformation. The darkness flowing from her twisted body was unlike anything I'd ever seen.We raced through the bush, Kieran supporting Sienna as her legs threatened to give out. The Queen's terrible voice echoed behind us, shaking the trees."What just happened back there?" I panted as we ducked behind a fallen log. "Zekehe sacrificed himself."Sienna's eyes were red from crying. "He saved us all. My brother..." She hid her face in Kieran's chest.The sound of snapping trees made us freeze. Syndicate guards were spreading through the woods, hunting us."We need to split up," I said, making a quick plan. "Kieran, get Sienna to the safe house. I'll lead them away."Kieran's eyes narrowed. "Why should I trust you, Phantom?""Because right now you don't have a choice," I snapped. "I know these woods better than you."Sienna looked between us, her fire-r

The Blood Moon's red glow still lingered in the night sky, even days after the rite.Something had changed in the world. I could feel it in my old blood."Prince Caius," my advisor Elara said, entering my room with a bow. "The scouts have returned."I turned, keeping my face calm despite my desire. "And?""The Ruby Wolf lives. She escaped with the Cursed Alpha before the First Wolf fully emerged." Elara paused. "They've gone to ground in the old territories."Relief washed through me, though I was careful not to show it. Sienna was living. My plans could still unfold."And what of the Phantom Wolf?" I asked."Fighting his way back to them, my lord. He's... changed. The witnesses say his powers are returning."Interesting. Very interesting.I set down my glass. "Prepare the Council Chamber. It's time to make our move.""The Council won't like meeting with wolves," Elara warned.I smiled,

    The Midnight Queen's POVI was no longer just the Queen. I felt him inside me, the First Wolf, his ancient power stretching through my blood like black ice. My followers knelt before me in the ruins of the rite site, their eyes wide with fear and wonder."Rise," I ordered, my voice now a strange blend of my own and something deeper, older.My fingers flexed, getting used to the new power flowing through me. The failed ritual hadn't been a total disaster after all. Though Sienna and her protectors had fled, the gate had opened just enough to let part of the god through.Into me."My Queen," Isolde, my faithful witch, approached carefully. "What are your orders?"I smiled, feeling my face crack slightly at the edges. The magic was still settling, changing me."The Ruby Wolf thinks she's safe," I said, walking toward the center of the area where Zeke had disappeared. "She thinks her brother's sacrifice stopped us."I laughed, the sound echoing strangely through the trees. Several of my f

    Kieran's POVThe beast clawed at my insides, trying to break free. I dug my nails into my hands until blood dripped between my fingers. Pain helped me focus, kept the monster at bay."Alpha, we're approaching the burned cabin," said Maya, my most trusted warrior. Her silver-streaked hair gleamed in the moonlight as she ran beside me.Behind us, sixty of my best fighters moved through the trees like shadows. We had abandoned our wolf forms when we picked up the smell of vampires ahead. Better to approach with hands that could hold guns."She was here," I growled, the bond in my chest pulling me forward like a hook buried in my heart. "Recently."After weeks of nothingness, the bond had roared back to life last night, shattering the fog in my thoughts. Memories flooded back Sienna's face, her touch, her smell. And with those memories came rage at whoever had tried to make me forget her."Are you sure it's her?" asked Liam, my Second. He had never

    Caius's POVThe smell of fire and magic hung in the night air. I stood on the ridge overlooking the burning cabin, my five special vampire guards spread out behind me like shadows."Looks like we missed the party," I said, studying the scene below. Syndicate troops looked through the rubble, their black uniforms blending with the darkness.Viktor, my oldest guard, pointed to fresh tracks in the mud. "They fled less than an hour ago."I closed my eyes, focusing on the weak pulse that had been getting stronger in my chest for weeks. Sienna. Each beat of her heart called to me like a light."She's alive," I whispered, relief washing over me. Then anger replaced it. "The Queen nearly had her."My fangs lengthened at the thought. Four centuries of vampire royalty ran through my blood, but I'd never felt this protective urge for anyone before. It was... unsettling."Your Highness," Elena said, touching my arm. "Movement in the trees."I sniff

    Darius's POVI closed my eyes, feeling the pack ties stretch like unseen threads across the forest. One particular thread burned brighter than the rest Sienna. The Ruby Wolf might have escaped us before, but not this time."Sir, we've secured the perimeter," said Ellis, my most trusted assassin. Five other Syndicate killers crouched behind him, their faces drawn with dark symbols that gleamed in the moonlight."Good." I rolled the silver knife between my fingers. "Remember, we need the twins alive."The pull of Sienna's energy got stronger. After years of pretending to be Kieran's loyal Beta, I was finally close to my real prize. The Queen would reward me beyond imagination for bringing her the Ruby Wolf twins."There," I hissed, pointing to a thin column of smoke rising above the trees. "The cabin."I reached into my coat pocket and pulled six small glass orbs filled with swirling black mist tracking hexes made by the Black Moon Witch herself.

    Sienna's POV"He's out here somewhere!" I yelled, pushing through the thick underbrush. Dawn light streamed through the trees, painting the forest in gold. My heart raced as I followed the path of disturbed leaves and broken twigs.Ronan kept pace beside me, his face tight with worry. "Sienna, we don't know if it's really him. It could be a trap."I clutched the wooden wolf carving tighter. "It's him, Ronan. I feel it."Ever since finding the carving on our porch last night, I'd been looking. My twin brother alive, not dead as I'd believed my whole life. The notebook page he'd left proved it. The writing matched the letters in my locket, the one thing I had from my mother.A flash of something dark caught my eye. I froze, then rushed forward, falling to my knees beside a folded form half-hidden among fallen leaves."Zeke!" I gasped.My brother lay motionless, his skin covered in strange black veins that looked like spider webs under his pal

    Isolde's POVMoonlight streamed through the cracked window of my secret workroom as I stirred the bubbling pot. The potion glowed blue-green, sending strange shadows across the stone walls. My hands moved with practiced skill, adding pinches of rare herbs and drops of crystal water."Almost there," I whispered.This wasn't just any potion. This was memory magic – dangerous and illegal. But Sienna needed it if she was going to survive what was coming.I dropped crushed moonstone into the mixture, watching it fizz and spark. The final part waited beside me – a small vial of ruby-red liquid. Blood from the Nightrose family. My own blood.Yes, the secret I'd kept for ages. I wasn't just any witch serving the Midnight Syndicate. I was a distant cousin of the Ruby Wolves, with just enough of their old power to make this spell work.As the mixture simmered, my mind went to the past. To better days.I remembered little Sienna, just five years old,

  • The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster   The Twin Shadow

    Zeke's POVBlood dripped from my fingers as I crouched on the rocky outcrop above the small cabin. My enhanced eyes pierced the darkness, focused on the two figures moving inside. One was a tall man with silver-streaked black hair – Ronan Voss, the Phantom Wolf. The other was a woman with bright red hair that seemed to glow in the lamplight.Sienna. My younger sister.My chest tightened with a strange ache. For forty years, they told me she was the enemy. The Midnight Queen – our grandma – had raised me to hate her, to hunt her. But now, watching her through the cabin window, something felt wrong."You look just like Mom," I whispered.The words surprised me. I had no memories of our mother. Or at least, I thought I didn't. But seeing Sienna's face, something sparked inside me – flashes of a woman with the same fiery hair, the same determined jaw.I touched the metal plates beneath my skin. The Midnight Syndicate's "improvements" to make me the

  • The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster   Secrets in the Blood

    Caius's POV The old library beneath the Vampire High Court was silent except for the rustle of pages. Dust motes floated in the dim lighting as I hunched over texts so old they crumbled at my touch. "Careful with that one, Your Highness," my elderly librarian warned. "That manuscript predates even your grandfather." I ignored him, my fingers tracing the faded drawings of ruby-colored wolves with glowing eyes. Three days had passed since I'd last seen Sienna, and the image of her fire wings haunted me. Not just for their beauty, but for what they meant. "Leave me," I ordered without looking up. When the door closed, I relaxed my perfect stance. Five centuries of being the perfect prince got tiresome. I rubbed my temples and pulled the oldest book closer – its black cover made from some unidentified skin, its pages yellow with age. The text was written in Ancient Vampiric, a language only royal clans still learned.

    Kieran's POVThe great hall of the Shadowfang Pack territory hummed with anxiety. Ten Alpha werewolves sat around the huge oak table, their eyes fixed on me. Each led their own pack, but all recognized the Shadowfang's authority. For now.I paced at the head of the table, my wolf scratching beneath my skin. The silver poison still burned in my veins from the last fight, weakening me when I needed strength most."You've called us here at a dangerous time, Kieran," growled Arlo, the gray-bearded Alpha of the Northern Claw Pack. "With the Blood Moon approaching, we should be securing our territories, not attending meetings."I stopped pacing and put my palms on the table, letting my eyes shift to their wolf form – golden with red flecks."I called you here because of the danger," I said, my voice cutting through the murmurs. "The Midnight Syndicate has made their move. The Blood Moon won't just bring my curse this time – it brings war."Darius sto

    Ronan's POVThe trees blurred past us as I carried Sienna through the darkness. Her golden fire wings had faded, leaving her tired in my arms. The Midnight Queen's revelation still echoed in my mind – the queen was Sienna's grandma. Another piece of the puzzle I hadn't seen coming."Almost there," I whispered, feeling her stir against my chest.The cabin emerged through the trees – small, weathered, but secure. My safe harbor for the past five years. No one knew about this place, not even my old handlers at the Syndicate."Where are we?" Sienna mumbled, her ruby-red eyes fluttering open."Somewhere safe." I kicked open the door, carrying her inside.The cabin was sparse but practical – a bed, a fireplace, basic supplies. I gently laid Sienna down and lit the fire with practiced moves."You've been here before," she noticed, pushing herself up on her elbows."It's mine." I gave her water from my pack. "Built it myself after I escaped. Th
