Ruby's POV

I changed out of the court clothes the moment we got home, glad to be out of the formal fabric and back into something that actually let me move.

My studio corner, the one Malcolm had cleared out for me weeks ago without making a big deal of it, had paint tubes lined up on the desk and a canvas leaning against the wall, untouched for days.

I pulled the canvas onto the easel and stood back, looking at it. Flat acrylic wasn't going to cut it this time. I wanted something that came off

    The next day arrived faster than I expected. I woke up to my alarm ringing, and at the same time I was going to resume work. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and stretched on the bed, followed by a yawn. Today was different. I wasn't planning to go to work. I hadn't called Linda or anyone at the art gallery to inform them that I wouldn't be available.My gaze moved around the room and landed on my packed suitcases in the corner. Right. I had planned to leave today. I glanced at the wall clock. It was 7:30 am. I needed to start preparing.I had my shower and laid out my clothes on the bed. I wore the clothes and looked at myself in the mirror for a while.“You're beautiful,” I heard Erin say in my head.“Thank you, Erin.”Then I felt Joey give a sarcastic purr to Erin. I rolled my eyes. The both of them really weren't getting along. I was excited because I had a lot of gist to share with Sandra. I hadn't updated her on my hybrid status and I knew she would be excited to hear about it.I rolled

    I had already filled my first suitcase and was packing the second smaller one when I heard a knock on the door. I presumed it was Malcolm again, but when I opened the door, I met a different person there. It was June.She was smiling when she saw me and held a book in her hand.“I hope I'm not disturbing anything. Look at what I drew. I got inspired by you.”I took the sketchbook from her. On the front page was a sketch of a bird that resembled a parrot.“It's lovely. You drew it well.”June stepped further into the room and looked around. I noticed her gaze fall to my wardrobe. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the suitcases on the bed.“Why is your wardrobe empty? Did you pack all your stuff? Are you going somewhere?”She faced me, expecting an answer. I hesitated before answering.“I'm leaving tomorrow.”“What?” June snapped, narrowing his eyes again. “Why? Is the contract over? I thought it was supposed to last a year. That's what Malcolm told me. Is he the one telling you to le

    I couldn't sleep that night. I laid down staring at the ceiling and the bright lights were still on. I was thinking about a lot of things. The way Malcolm had responded to me was enough proof for me to know that he knew why he got married to me. And sadly, it wasn't because he admired my body type when others hated it. Rather, it was because of a curse that I didn't even understand the meaning of.Curiosity got the better of me. I took out my phone and browsed what a starlight curse meant. I brought the phone closer to my face and read the results.A starlight curse was a defect in a werewolf where their wolf seems abnormal and can cease to awaken at some point. It is said to have no cure, but some studies say that being around rare witches can help lift such a curse. Sometimes, the curse is associated with death. Also, most cursed persons are born with the curse and it manifests when they find their wolf.I swallowed hard and felt a chill run down my spine after I had read that. I ha

    I stood at the spot for a while after my father left. Everything felt quite confusing. I didn't know the questions to ask if someone wanted to help me understand things. My father had mentioned something about Malcolm needing me for the starlight curse. What did that even mean?I headed home but I was walking slowly instead of jogging. My father had left. He had left me feeling unsettled about everything. The last time I met him, he had been locked up. How did he manage to escape and meet me?I soon reached the mansion. I saw one of the cars I hadn't seen before leaving parked outside. It was Malcolm's car. That made me know that Malcolm had returned.I entered the mansion and met Malcolm seated at the dining table and having dinner. June wasn't there with him. He was there alone. I took a deep breath. I had a ton of questions to ask him.“Ruby, you're back. How did the event go?”I moved closer to him. “I didn't win the competition, but it was a good one. I still got recognized by on

    Ruby's POVEvening soon arrived. I slept for a short while and woke up to jog. I grabbed a sweat shirt and loose pants from my wardrobe. I wore them and stood, looking at the mirror. It was only then that I saw the curves that Malcolm had mentioned. I had curves. I had just never taken them into consideration. And what was my height? Five feet and a few inches more, I wasn't sure.I strapped on a smart watch to track my steps and the time. I headed downstairs. June was on the living room couch. She looked up when she saw me approach.“Going somewhere?” She asked, raising her head from the novel she was reading.“I'm going to jog.”She shrugged. “Okay,” and returned her focus back to her book.I felt a warmness in my chest. I smiled as I walked to the door. I couldn't imagine that I and June were finally getting along. It was the same June who had seemed like an antagonist all the while. But here we were, talking line none of that had ever happened. She had even apologized to me. I was

    “Okay.” I said and shifted to the side.“I'm Marilyn and I must say that your artwork really intrigued me. I'm actually working with a team and I'd love you to join us onboard. There was just something really unique about your craft and the story behind it was simply amazing.”I smiled. I wanted to squeal at the moment but I held myself. I couldn't believe one of the judges had noticed my work even if I didn't win.“So, what do you say, Ruby?”“Marilyn, I'm excited to join your team. I'd love to know more details about it and how I can join.”Marilyn smiled. “I'd give you my email and I’d take yours too. Hopefully we'll schedule something and meet later.”We exchanged emails and also exchanged phone numbers. I watched her leave before getting into the car. Once I got into the car, I smiled broadly. I was excited that even though I wasn't among the winners, I was still recognized for my work. It meant my efforts weren't wasted after all.I sat in the passenger seat as the driver drove.

    The doctor and several nurses rushed in. He took his stethoscope off his chest and placed it on the woman's chest, while using the other hand to adjust something on her support device.“Mum! Mum! Please hold on mum.” June screamed and tapped her mother.I stood at the side as Malcolm paced restless

    I felt like I wasn't in control of my body when I pressed my head on his shoulder. Before I could get off, his hand had already settled on my waist and he drew me closer to him.“It's going to be fine. I also have a relative who's in the hospital.”I nodded slowly and sniffed and a tear drop escape

    Ruby's POVI didn't need anyone to tell me how the rest of my day would go. Waking up in Malcolm's bed was embarrassing enough. I had questions at the back of my mind, but I couldn't ask him.How did he even carry me to the room, and where did he sleep? Surely, he didn't sleep on the same bed as me

    A yawn was the first thing that escaped my mouth. I opened my eyes partially and stretched my arms before closing my eyes.My forehead throbbed intensely and I took my palm to touch it. It burned like I was seated near a furnace.When the veil of sleepiness cleared from my eyes, I raised my head a
