Ruby's POVElena's voice rang out, inviting Alpha Ralph and Vance into the room. A hint of nervousness clung to me as they entered. This was all so new, and I felt like an outsider in this new world.Alpha Ralph, tall and imposing, took the lead as he always did. Vance, his loyal beta, followed closely behind. They joined Elena and me at the dining table, where I had been nervously nibbling on my food, trying not to draw too much attention to myself. Elena, ever gracious, extended the offer for them to join us.Alpha Ralph agreed with a warm smile, his presence both intimidating and oddly comforting. Vance, however, seemed a bit dense to my unspoken message. I hesitated, unsure whether to move or stay put.After a moment, Alpha Ralph cleared his throat, and it was clear he understood my discomfort. "Vance," he said calmly, "would you kindly get up so Ruby can sit by my side?""Oh, yes Alpha." Vance said as he jumped up immediately, his obedience swift and unquestioning. I felt a mixtu

Ruby's POV Gonzalo's voice, sharp and demanding, cut through the eerie silence. "Remove your clothes," he ordered, his tone leaving no room for disobedience.I refused, my body tensing as I backed away from him. Panic surged within me, urging me to run out. But when I tried to run towards the door, something unexplainable held me back. It was as if an invisible force, a malevolent presence, had wrapped itself around me, preventing any escape.Desperation clawed at my chest as I looked up, and there he was, Gonzalo, advancing towards me with menacing determination. His predatory eyes bore into mine, filled with a twisted desire that sent shivers down my spine. "You are mine." He said smiling and walking towards me. In the dim, nightmarish haze, he climbed onto the bed, pinning me beneath his weight. I didn't know how I had ended up on the bed, but my mind was too consumed by fear to question it. I struggled, every muscle in my body screaming for release, but I was powerless against t

Ruby's POV I sat up on the bed, the morning light filtering through the window. It had been a restless night, plagued by the nightmares of Gonzalo. The way he had treated me, the threats, and the violence – it was all too vivid in my dreams. I shivered at the memory of his sinister grin.I had needed multiple cups of coffee to stay awake through the night. Coffee had become a friend. a small comfort that helped me push through the darkness of the past. As I sipped my morning coffee, I reflected on Elena's question from the previous night."Was he someone you loved?" Elena had asked me. My answer had been clear and unequivocal: "No, he wasn't." Gonzalo was far from a person I had loved. He was a menace, a monster from my past, and Alpha Ralph had saved me from his clutches.I gazed around the room, still unfamiliar to me. The Night Howlers Pack, Elena, Alpha Ralph – it was all so new, and I knew it would take time for me to adjust. The old life in Silverwood felt like a distant memory

Gonzalo's POVI woke up, my eyes adjusting to the morning light filtering through the curtains. I reached out to my side, expecting to find Teresa there, but the bed was empty. Frowning, I sat up, wondering where she had gone. We had slept on the same bed, but she had been distant since last night."Teresa?" I called out, but there was no response. I sighed, frustration building within me. I couldn't understand why she was so upset with me.I got out of bed and stretched, feeling the tension in my muscles. I needed to find her and sort things out.Entering the bathroom, I went about my morning routine. After dressing, I left my room and walked through the hallways of the cabin. My gaze fell on one of the maids, and I approached her."Have you seen Teresa?" I asked, trying to sound casual despite my growing concern.The maid greeted me respectfully before answering. "Yes, I saw Miss Teresa leaving the house this morning. She said she didn't want to be disturbed."I nodded in acknowledg

Ruby's POV As we sat down in the main room, I leaned over and whispered to Elena, my voice hushed with urgency, "Hey, Elena, it might not be the right time, but I really need to go."Elena, with a kind smile, nodded her head in Vance's direction. "Ask him," she suggested. "He will show you."Taking her advice, I rose from my seat, feeling the pressing need to relieve myself. I walked over to Vance, who seemed unmoved by my approach. "Could you please show me the way to the bathroom?" I asked politely.Without uttering a word, Vance gestured with a tilt of his head, directing me down the hallway and to the left. Grateful for his silent guidance, I mumbled a quick thank you before making my way toward the restroom. I looked back at him and he was still unresponsive as though he didn't hear me speak. "Weirdo." I said under my breathAs I strolled through the hallways, I couldn't help but admire the lavish decorations that adorned the walls. It was evident that this place was worlds apar
