Semua Bab Her Double Trouble: My Alpha and My Mate: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Sebastian POVThe way Ruby kissed me sent my body into a frenzy. I had never wanted anything more than to feel her in my arms, and here she was, cuddled on my lap, pouring her entire soul into me. The power of her light, pulling out the darkness and burning it away, felt like a sweet ache spreading through me, pure bliss coursing through my veins, rich and electrifying.I completely succumbed to her, begging her to take it all, as long as this feeling never ended. Then everything went black, no sound, no thoughts, just emptiness. I found peace in the solitude of existence, wanting to let go, to float away in the seemingly endless abyss. But every so often, I felt little shocks of her body against mine. A hand on my chest, her breath on my face, the panicked beat of her heart pressed to my side. I couldn't let go. Not yet.My body began to warm, like it was thawing from thick ice. The sensation was pleasant, spreading through every cell, piecing me back together. The world came into fo

Sebastian POV"Wow! You can actually cook!" I said, shoving forkful after forkful of French toast, eggs, bacon, and sausage down my throat. I was starving for real food. "Where did you get this stuff? I thought plants and animals didn't roam the wastelands.""They don't," Gabe replied, sipping his coffee like a gentleman, a stark contrast to my rabid hunger. "But inside here, it's not like out there. We have unlimited fields.""How?" I asked, my mouth full of food."The gold," he said with a knowing smirk. "It enhances everything around it.""I knew it was odd to have so much gold everywhere.""It's just a light coating on the outside of everything—from the gates surrounding our lands to the wooden posts in our crop fields. Every crystal has a unique quality." He held up his blue coffee mug that reflected the light."Is that the same blue crystal used in your food supply that deformed most of your pack?""Yeah, it's a lot less dangerous when held to your skin than ingested though. Som

Sebastian POVThe moment I saw Katherine, a rage unlike any I'd ever felt took over. Ruby's screams of pain ripped through me, fueling the darkness inside. There was no turning back. I needed blood, needed to destroy. In that moment, I wanted to kill everyone, even Ruby, maybe.After I ripped Katherine's heart from her chest, I stood over Ruby, watching her squirm in agony. For a brief, twisted moment, it felt euphoric. The amulet around my neck had burned out, no longer able to keep the darkness at bay. I'd hoped Ruby weakening it last night would had lessen its hold on me, but it only seemed to make the darkness stronger.It took everything I had to wrestle back control, forcing Kane to heel and not take what we both desired. I yanked the blade from Ruby's eye and broke the chains that bound her with ease.Holding her in my lap, I made a decision. I wouldn't be a coward, I wouldn't kneel down and die. I wouldn't leave her alone.As we stepped out of the small shack Katherine had use

Sebastian POVThe second the explosion echoed through the trees, every instinct screamed at me to find Gabe, to confirm he was alive. But I couldn't go back. Ruby lunged forward, ready to run to him, but it wasn't safe for her to be around him. Without a second thought, I grabbed her, hoisting her small frame over my shoulder. The only thing that mattered was keeping her safe. Everything else had to come second, or I'd risk losing her forever.I'd never feared death. It wasn't something that hung over us like it did for humans. We lived long, strong lives, untouched by sickness. But I hadn't known true fear until I saw Ruby strapped to that table, a blade driven through her eye. That fear, the fear of losing her, had given me the strength to push through the darkness inside me and save her.I ran for hours, two bags over one shoulder and Ruby over the other. We didn't speak, just breathed heavily, silently mourning what we might have lost. Katherine's death had unleashed something unk

Ruby POVThe emptiness gnawed at me, an ache so deep it felt like it could swallow me whole. My body swung between burning heat and icy chills, my thoughts racing in endless circles until exhaustion wrapped itself around my bones. Hours of sleep offered no relief; I woke more drained than before, my heart screaming for Gabe while my mind scolded me for my weakness. This battle inside me had to end before it drove me to do something I'd regret."You awake?" Sebastian's breath was warm against the back of my neck, his voice a soft murmur. He'd held me all night, whispering reassurances I barely heard through the haze of my despair."Barely," I mumbled. "Feels like a mountain was dropped on me." I forced my eye open, the one that was left, anyway. The other was just a memory, a gaping wound hidden beneath a makeshift bandage, too real to be forgotten. My life couldn't possibly get any worse."The land has changed," Sebastian said, a hint of wonder in his voice. My hand reached out to tou
