~ RUBY INGRID ~I woke up with the feeling of someone gently stroking my hair. I opened my eyes and the first thing that welcomed my sight was the plain and dirty white ceiling of my room. I stretched my arms and yawn, ignoring the comfortable feeling coming from the warmth of someone beside me. I turned my head to check who it was and it took me a whole minute to understand what was happening.“Keigan!?“ I squeal in surprise. He was lying on the bed beside me, my head was using his right arm as my pillow while his free hand was wrapped over my waist. He was topless. “Shh, you’re too loud sweetheart. Let’s go back to sleep.“ He murmured and snuggled his face at the rook of my neck. His drape on my waist became tighter as he pulled me closer to him.All I could do was swallow the building sensation he was making me feel. The heat coming from his body was enough to calm and ease my erratically beating heart.I let out a calming breath before laying sideways to meet his face. His
~ RUBY INGRID ~It was three dawn when I carefully sat up from my bed. I looked at my phone and let out a sigh when I didn’t receive any replies from Annaliese. I have been messaging her for hours but her number was unreachable and I don’t have a trace of where she’s been. The still dark scenery from the outside were somehow calming, I look at myself and realize that I was only wearing my underwear as a muscled and veiny arm was draped over my waist. That’s when I saw Keigan, silently snoring and laying on his chest, his back was slowly heaving caused by his breathing. I stared at his face for a few more minutes and I couldn’t help but to go near him. I lay my head at the pillow he was using, I was facing his direction and our face were only an inch away from each other. His hot and ragged breath was touching the sensitivity of my skin that I was absentmindedly biting my lower lip to avoid laughing.He’s such a cutie.“Stop staring, sweetheart.“ He suddenly talk. I wasn’t s
~ RUBY INGRID ~I couldn’t understand an ounce of what they were saying. I didn’t know if it was still about business but seeing the seriousness in their face was enough for me to tell that I don’t have the rights to talk.Even with my awkward position, sitting on Keigan’s lap in front of his father and brothers, I still found the atmosphere eerie and decent. I was even holding my breaths for second just to make sure not to make any sounds that could distract them. “Then go back to our town and do what you must. It’s impossible for her to just go missing.“ I heard Keizer said while checking his fingers as if their meeting was nothing but a waste of time, his feet was even resting over the table.“Are you that dumb? Do you really think she can normally ran away when I’m always watching over her? Seriously, what kind of fucker are you?“ Keddrick on the other hand was more mature and intimidating that I couldn’t afford to just glance at him.“Language, my boys, we have a fine lad
~ RUBY INGRID ~“Oh my gosh, my back hurts so bad.“ I groaned as I took my shoe off. I just came home from our ’girls bond’ with miss Kyla and it’s almost twelve when they decided to drop me off at my apartment.Keigan told me to just stay at his house or condo but I told him I want to stay here, merely because I’m still hoping that Annaliese would still come home and help me answer my questions. I let out a heavy sigh and lay on the old reeking sofa. No sign of Annaliese can be seen here, I just hope that she’s doing fine and great. I kind of miss her weirdness and it feels so blue knowing that I can’t even say if she’ll come back or not.“Well then, at least I have more foods for me.“ I shrug the thoughts off and went to my room to take a shower. I just wore a simple pajama silk set and took my way to the living room to check the clothes Miss Kyla bought me.It was all branded and pricey, I told her that I don’t want a lot but she was so persistent, she even joked about buying
~ RUBY INGRID ~I woke up when I felt someone throw a soft cushion at my face. I immediately stood up and glared at Amber. She was wearing a grin on her lips and that’s when I remembered that we were just riding a freaking wolf and I don’t even know where she took me.“Where the hell are we?“ I raised my brow at her, my clothes are still the same but I was currently laying on the floor with a blanket and a hard wood, placed as my pillow. I stood up feeling like my bones were about to give up. The floor was too hard and I can almost hear my bones cracking.Dang, it hurts!“See for yourself.“ She presented her hand for me to reach, I stared at it for a couple of minutes, still in daze as questions continue to linger inside my head. “Take it,“ she insisted so I did.She helped me stand up, when I thought she will let go of me the soonest, I was wrong because she was still holding my hand until we were both descending our way to a narrow staircase. The place looks so familiar. Th
~ RUBY INGRID ~“I wish we can buy some drinks from this place.“ I commented as we lay down on the grass from outside our house. The huge mansion stood with creepiness, the plants outside were still growing, too much that it almost covered the whole yard but here we are, still laying on our back and looking at the full moon together with the stars. “Nah, this town is a cultivated place. They don’t know the word modernization.“ She backstabbed as we both giggle. She was right though. We went to walk around earlier and almost each and every person in this town was looking at us weirdly as if we’re some kind of a prey. I was very nervous at first but like what Amber said, no one can harm us in here.“Why?“ I suddenly asked, remembering that an old woman approached me earlier. She was looking intently at my ring and when I ask her if she wants to try it she looked at me horribly like I killed a lot of people.“What why?“ She asked in a sarcastic tone, mot getting what I’m trying
~ KEIGAN ACHERON ~After dropping Ruby off her apartment my mom and I came face to face with each other. I didn’t know she was coming and definitely didn’t expecting her here. I squinted my eyes at her, trying to read what she wanted to do with Ruby. When I say that my mom is not type of women to just lure out their son’s to get married, she really is.She would always tell us to find the right woman but when we ask her to meet someone we like or the other girls my brothers and I dated, she never fails to show her dislikes towards them. And then there’s Ruby. “Seriously, mom, what do you want from her?“ I asked her with a serious voice, interrogating her why she suddenly became so quirky when they’re together.“Will you calm down, Keigan? It’s not like I’m going to suck the blood out of her, I only liked your father’s blood so I’ll pass on her.“ She said in the most sophisticated way, she even lifted a finger with a pinky finger up as she sips on her cup of tea.. in the middl
~ KEIGAN ACHERON ~“What!?“ I exclaimed and almost jump off of my seat after hearing what she said.“Her mom used to be your father’s mate.“ She repeated as if it wasn’t a big deal for her to talk about her husband having another woman. And dad!? Fuck no, Ruby can’t be my sister. I can wreck the whole world if it happened.“Well, your father was supposed to marry her to conceal the peace between rivals, but just like you and all of your brothers, he insisted what he wanted and your father happen to caught me. In flesh. Your brother, Keddrick, happen and yeah.. we were both disowned by our families.“ My shock was quick to fade, almost chuckling at how she told me those. I never knew about that and I wasn’t planning to. And here I thought that dad was the forced one to marry mom, but it seems like mom was the victim here.I absentmindedly chuckled at my own thoughts, catching mom’s attention. And now her eyes are squinting at me like she was reading what’s running inside my he
