Ruby’s P.O.VI stared at Linda with a sly smile on my lips as she gazed at me with disbelief in her eyes.Taking slow, steady steps, I paced around her in circles. “What is it, Linda? Why are you acting so shocked?”She swallowed visibly and let out an awkward laugh. “Ru..Ruby, I don’t think you understood my question. I think you are mistaken. I was asking if….”I interrupted her before she could complete her words. “I understood your question perfectly Linda. You asked for the truth and I told you nothing but the truth. It’s not my fault if you are too dumb to process it.”Before I could tell what was happening, a slap landed on my cheek and I stared at her in surprise, holding my cheek in anger.“How dare you speak to me this way? I am still your Luna and you would show me respect!” She thundered, her eyes reflecting her wolf.“I took you in when no one wanted to. I cleaned you up and accepted you as a sister I never had, I told you secrets I didn’t tell anyone. I trusted and loved

Bruno’s P.O.VI bolted upright from the bed at Camille's words, my heart pounding with fear and dread. Linda had fallen down the stairs? The thought sent a chill down my spine, and without another word, I dashed out of the room, my mind racing with worry.When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I found Linda lying on the floor, with her eyes glazed over, and surrounded by a few maids.

Bruno’s p.o.vMarcel rushed in at the sound of my voice and he tried getting my hand off Ruby’s neck but I didn’t budge.“Alpha, please you need to calm down,” he pleaded.Rage coursed through me as the thought of what could have happened if I had not returned back home flooded my mind.

How dare she!She held onto my arm, fighting, struggling, and kicking around for her life but I didn’t release my grip on her neck, instead, I tightened it and watched as her face began to turn pale due to lack of air.Marcel left my arm and ran towards Linda's bed. “Alpha, it’s the Luna.
