Logan The inability to move, fingers gripping into the earth as if I could hold on to it. Trying so hard to just hang on the fact that Logan would never leave me, he will come back.My tears stopped hours ago, yet somehow I just can’t seem to pick myself off the ground. I can’t get up. This is what love does. When it’s broken, it tears you apart.It ruins you in the end. “Ruby, it’s time to get up.” Layla is behind me, urging me to pick myself up. I wish somehow I could. I have done this to myself. I have no one to blame but me. I should have been stronger. I should have stopped it, fought harder against it. I was weak. “Take a step for me, Ruby, one foot in front of the other.” Layla sounds like her voice is cracking inside her throat. The only male that has ever loved me is gone and I ruined it. I threw it all away because I wasn’t strong or quick to stop Ethan.All I have left are memories now. That’s all I will ever have of him…memories. Logan saw me with Ethan, his dick
LoganHe’s ripping into me like a ravenous hyena, all teeth and jaw as he tears flesh from bone. He doesn’t like his position threatened. But he should have thought about that before coming to my doorstep. Now all I want is blood.Tarus and I circle each other. Eyes never leaving each other, always at attention. Muscles contracting, vibrating fur with the need to lunge. He snarls at me and I smirk. He lunges at me.A full-on assault. His wolf has no problem showing why he’s the Alpha. Instead of taking the offensive, Tarus is reduced to taking defensive tactics in a need for self-preservation. He has become weak He tries to eat away at my flesh slowly, making it hurt. The trail of blood saturates the ground, unable to be absorbed by the frozen earth. Paws drip, painting the mosaic of red abstract art on the canvas of life. My wolf doesn’t relent. He shows that the wrong decision was made. Sometimes you just have to learn the hard way in order for things to sink in. He had no chance
I take a deep breath calming my nerves. After five years, I am finally coming back to the place that holds my most beautiful memories as well as my sad and painful ones." It's all in the past Ruby, you are different, we are different." I mumble to myself.Yes, that is what I tell myself everyday and the statement that finally gave me the balls to face my reality.Reality that my mate rejected me and that I will never have my happy ending with him.I have been driving for hours now. The park is not near the city.Today is an important day in my brother's life. It's his birthday so I decided to come around." You can't escape forever, Ruby. It's about time you return home. Dad and mom miss you." Those were my brother's exact words when we talked last time.I know for a fact that my parents miss me.I can still remember the looks of pain and sadness they wore five years ago when I decided to leave the pack.They love me and because of that pure love they have for me, they let me follow
" Clara!" I greet her with a smile. Of course, it's a fake one. I hate the woman before me with passion. I don't know what kind of a joke was the moon goddess playing to make her my brother's mate." You are finally home. I can't wait for us to bond again." Clara says with a sickly sweet smile which I respond with on my own." Me too. I'm looking forward to it." I reply, feigning enthusiasm.I can't have anybody finding out about our past, not even Mason.Looking at him gazing lovingly at her, I know that I have to make a sacrifice for him. Not to mention that Clara is heavily pregnant." Look at that, darling. I told you that our baby will Love Clara. Ofcourse, she's such a lovable girl. Who would not love her?" My mother said, nudging my father lovingly.Seeing how happy the family is,I can only smile and mask my pain.I help my mother to serve lunch and we all sit by the table, enjoying our lunch.Having my family here with me, what else could I ask for.Over the past years, food w
True to her words, Layla arrived exactly at six. The party will be kicking off from half past seven. Without knocking, Layla kicked the door open before sauntering with a smile plastered on her face making me scoff." It's hard to get rid of old habits," I comment and she giggles.That's Layla for you. The girl who would rather kick the door open than push it with her hands. The girl who would rather jump over the window than walk out through the door.She has always been someone who does what's not expected of her and gives no damn about it.I used to admire her in the past,I still do.While growing up, Layla was the kind of girl who would take no nonsense from anybody. The number of brawls she was involved in before we graduated from high school cannot be counted.On the other hand,I was that shy nerd who would endure anything. I would rather cry by the washrooms silently than confront my troubles.Growing up, I had to depend on Layla, Mason and Marcus to defend me.That's just how
The moment we step inside the Hall, the sight of men and women dressed to kill greets us.The room is parked with guests, as expected of a top business man's birthday celebration.My eyes did a quick survey around the room, probably looking for a certain someone.When my eyes landed on him, I could not control the clench in my heart. As expected, he had a woman in his arms. What was I expecting? That he would come here all by himself?Although I already came to a decision to move on, I can't help but feel bitter.' Pathetic, aren't you?' I can hear someone inwardly mocking me.I must be the most pathetic being to ever exist.I force my mind off him, deciding that he isn't worth my tears.My brother has no title in the pack. Although he is of Beta blood and had high chances of becoming the beta, he chose to follow our father's footsteps and took over the family company.He is the CEO of a multi- billionaire company.He has connections extending to all sides of the country and beyond.H
" Call me Ruby. Don't be so formal or I'll feel awkward." Having him call me miss Reid feels awkward. I prefer he uses my first name." Sure,you can also call me Logan. Just Logan. Let's forget about titles tonight and enjoy this dance." Logan proposed and I nodded in agreement.We danced with Logan and although my dancing skills were rusty, I managed to keep up with him. As we continued swaying to the music, I felt a piercing glare directed my way. Turning to look in the direction, I saw nothing. Everybody was busy doing their own thing. Shrugging off the feeling, I decided to concentrate on the man before me.It was easy actually, Just following his lead and I found myself enjoying it. The man had a great body, I was surprised I hadn't noticed that before. He wasn't a gym rat, but he looked as though he spent a lot of time on his feet. He is an Alpha after all so I did not expect any less." Do you have a mate?" Logan asked, making me tense for a moment.I shook my head. "No and ye
Shivers are sent down my spine as I fear to turn around, I’d recognize that heart piercing voice anywhere I hear it.I stand upright; without looking back, I give him a reply.“It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”“It sure has, little Ruby finally came back after 5 long years”“Little Ruby is no longer little, I see you still love your offensive remarks”I try my hardest to look strong in his presence but it just feels like my heart is caving in, I can’t even look at his face“my my, I guess that was disrespectful, I apologize. How have you been, mate?”His reflection in the mirror was as ugly as ever, I felt mocked by his terrorizing smile.“as you can see, Alpha; I’ve been rather good”I can’t take it anymore, I can’t pretend so I let myself be weak.“I’m stronger now, I’m better. All these years I’ve been trying to get over you but a part of me has been hoping you’d accept me when I come back”“Is that so? Honestly, I had long forgotten you. Couldn’t care less about you returning to the
