All Chapters of Her Double Trouble: My Alpha and My Mate: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Gabe POV Within an hour, I had my pack preparing everything we would need to head out at sunrise. For tonight, all I wanted was to rest with my mate by my side. Ruby and I barely had ten minutes alone together unless she was in a coma, and I craved her presence. I needed to feel her as mine. Just as I finished setting up our bedroom on the boat, I felt it; an unsettling whirlwind of pleasure and betrayal. I growled in fury, gripping my chest as I sensed my mate indulging in another man's cock. I had known this would happen, even before she marked him. I always suspected they would end up together again, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Tonight was supposed to be our night, my chance to show her that I was hers and that she needed me too. I fought to calm the storm raging inside me, the desperate need to seek them out and reclaim my place with Ruby, but it was becoming impossible to keep it at bay. In a sudden burst of rage, I slammed my fist into the dresser, splintering the w

Sebastian POVI'd hoped the steady rocking of the boat would calm me, but instead, it made the churning inside worse. Each wave beneath the hull dragged me deeper into a sea of confusion and regret. We were surround by empty, endless water, but I barely noticed. All I could feel was the weight of my mistakes; heavy, suffocating, relentless.I leaned against the railing, trying to focus on the cool wind whipping through my hair, but even that wasn't enough to quiet the storm inside me. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her. Ruby. My mate. My regret. The woman who had marked me without my permission but who I couldn't help but crave anyway. The guilt gnawed at me, knowing how I'd been with her, knowing how it shouldn't have happened, but still, it had. And worse, I wanted more."Pathetic." Dietus's voice slithered through my thoughts like poison. I was beginning to be able to tell the difference between his desires, my wolf's, and my own. It was hard though, too many thoughts, too many

Ruby POV Life at sea was nothing like I'd imagined. The days were long, but the open waters offered a strange sort of freedom. There was something calming about the endless horizon, how the sun dipped into the ocean, leaving behind streaks of orange and pink, while the stars slowly filled the night sky. It was beautiful. Peaceful, even. But behind every moment of calm, a storm brewed inside me. Gabe and I had found a rhythm. We'd spend mornings together, fishing off the side of the boat. He'd show me how to spot schools of fish, how to reel them in with patience. I'd laugh when he got competitive, turning a simple task into a contest; who could catch the biggest, the fastest. It was in those moments, when he was by my side, that life felt almost perfect. His love was constant, wrapping around me like the ocean breeze, steady and warm. I could imagine a life out here, a peaceful and fulfilling life away from my home with him, with Gabe. But there was always an edge to that happiness

Gabe POV The island was something else, but to me, it was familiar. I grew up on islands like this one, far away from the strict rules and tall walls that Ruby had always known. Out here, life felt wilder, freer, as if the sea itself called the shots instead of the Moon Goddess. The trees bent low toward the shoreline like they were reaching for the water, and the air smelled of salt and freedom. For Ruby, though, this was all new. She looked around, wide-eyed, like she couldn't believe this kind of beauty even existed. She had spent her life behind those high walls, where her pack kept to their traditions, where Lupa's influence was constant and inescapable. Here, there was none of that. The moon didn't seem to control anything. It was as if this place had its own rules, its own magic. "This place is beautiful," she whispered, her fingers brushing against a wildflower she'd picked from the path. There was a softness in her voice I hadn't heard in a long time. It was relaxed, like

Sebastian POV I froze, staring at her, unable to move or speak. She moved with a grace that was almost inhuman, her light blue dress swaying gently around her legs as she approached. My heart pounded, not with fear, but with something else, something primal. For a moment, the curse, the darkness, everything inside me fell silent, replaced by an overwhelming sense of awe. "Lost, are you?" she said, her voice soft and melodic, yet there was a teasing edge to it. Her eyes, the palest blue I'd ever seen, locked onto mine, and I felt like I was drowning in them. I swallowed hard, my body tensing. Every instinct I had screamed at me to stay on guard, but something about her pulled me in. She felt familiar yet otherworldly, like a forgotten dream. "I... I don't know where I'm going," I muttered, barely managing to get the words out. My voice sounded distant, weak, as if I wasn't really here anymore. She tilted her head, studying me with unnerving calm, her gaze drifting over the grime
