Semua Bab The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Darius's POVI closed my eyes, feeling the pack ties stretch like unseen threads across the forest. One particular thread burned brighter than the rest Sienna. The Ruby Wolf might have escaped us before, but not this time."Sir, we've secured the perimeter," said Ellis, my most trusted assassin. Five other Syndicate killers crouched behind him, their faces drawn with dark symbols that gleamed in the moonlight."Good." I rolled the silver knife between my fingers. "Remember, we need the twins alive."The pull of Sienna's energy got stronger. After years of pretending to be Kieran's loyal Beta, I was finally close to my real prize. The Queen would reward me beyond imagination for bringing her the Ruby Wolf twins."There," I hissed, pointing to a thin column of smoke rising above the trees. "The cabin."I reached into my coat pocket and pulled six small glass orbs filled with swirling black mist tracking hexes made by the Black Moon Witch herself.

Kieran's POVThe beast clawed at my insides, trying to break free. I dug my nails into my hands until blood dripped between my fingers. Pain helped me focus, kept the monster at bay."Alpha, we're approaching the burned cabin," said Maya, my most trusted warrior. Her silver-streaked hair gleamed in the moonlight as she ran beside me.Behind us, sixty of my best fighters moved through the trees like shadows. We had abandoned our wolf forms when we picked up the smell of vampires ahead. Better to approach with hands that could hold guns."She was here," I growled, the bond in my chest pulling me forward like a hook buried in my heart. "Recently."After weeks of nothingness, the bond had roared back to life last night, shattering the fog in my thoughts. Memories flooded back Sienna's face, her touch, her smell. And with those memories came rage at whoever had tried to make me forget her."Are you sure it's her?" asked Liam, my Second. He had never

Ronan's POVI braced myself against the cabin door as another blast shook the walls. Outside, Darius's men were closing in. Inside, Sienna knelt beside her dying brother, her hands glowing with healing magic that wouldn't be enough."How long?" I asked, checking my guns again."Minutes," Zeke gasped, the black lines now covering most of his face. "Their first wave won't be wolves."He was right. I could feel them dark, twisted creatures moving through the trees. Not dogs, not vampires. Something worse."Shadow Guardians," I mumbled. The Queen's best staff.Sienna looked up at me, fear and determination fighting in her eyes. "I can't leave him.""Then I'll hold them off," I said, putting silver bullets into my gun. "Keep him alive as long as you can."The moment I stepped onto the porch, memories hit me like a punch memories of Sienna that had been locked away. Us running through a field. Her laugh like sunshine. Her hand in mine.I shook my head. Now wasn't the time.The forest had go

Sienna's POV The moment Zeke's last breath left his body, his strength slammed into me like a tsunami wave. Fire burst from my skin, ruby flames dancing across the cabin walls. "Sienna!" Ronan yelled, his voice faraway through the roar in my ears. I couldn't answer. My brother's memories flooded my mind his pain, his training, his commitment to me even when he didn't understand it. And with his memories came more of my own, breaking through the Queen's magic like glass shattering. Kieran stood frozen in the doorway, his eyes locked on mine. The curse-marks on his skin pulsed black, fighting against his will. Behind him, I could see his pack forming a defensive line against Darius's coming troops. "Kill her," a woman's voice hissed. The Midnight Queen. My mom. "Kill her now, Alpha!" Kieran's body shook with the effort of refusing. "Sienna," he growled, each word a battle. "Run." But I was done running. The fire inside me built until my vision blurred red. I was barely aw

Darius's POV I tasted success in the air as my wolves tore through the forest. Shadow things flanked us, their bodies like live smoke twisting between trees. The Queen had promised me power beyond imagination when this was done. When the Ruby Wolf fell. "Push forward!" I yelled, my voice carrying over the sounds of fighting. "The Alpha has abandoned you all for that witch!" My followers howled in answer, their eyes glowing with hate. So easy to handle. So ready to believe Kieran had betrayed them. Blood spattered my face as one of Caius's vampires burst into dust before me. Their kind were strong but not invincible. Nothing was invincible. Not even a Ruby Wolf. I changed forms, bones cracking as my body transformed into the massive gray wolf that had earned me the post of Beta. My claws dug into the ground as I charged tow
