All Chapters of The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Caius's POVBlood doesn't lie. That's the first rule every vampire learns.I sat alone at the edge of camp, far enough away that the wolves wouldn't smell what I was doing. The small silver bowl in my hands caught the moonlight as I pricked my finger and let three drops of blood fall into the clear water."Show me," I whispered.The water turned red, then black, then cleared to show the grand hall of my court. My chair sat empty, but not for long if my plans worked out. Around the onyx table sat my most trusted advisors—or so I had believed."The prince is weak," Lady Sylvia was saying, her pale face twisted with scorn. "He chases a wolf girl while the court crumbles."My jaw tightened. Sylvia had been my father's favorite. I should have known she would betray me."The Midnight Queen offers us protection," Lord Damon added. "All she asks is that we help her capture the Ruby Wolf.""And w

Sienna's POVI couldn't stop Zeke's blood from soaking my hands. One moment he was telling us about a traitor, and the next, an arrow pierced his chest. As Ronan ran after the shooter, I held my brother, begging him not to leave me again."Don't cry, little flame," he whispered, using my childhood nickname. "This isn't the end."Those were his last words before his eyes closed. Isa worked her healing magic while Caius used his vampire speed to find bandages. But I knew the truth. The arrow had been meant to kill, not hurt."He's still breathing," Isa said. "But barely. We need to get him somewhere safe."Everything after that became a blur. We moved deeper into the woods, found a cave, and made a secret camp. Ronan returned with news that the shooter had disappeared without a trace. Through it all, I couldn't shake the feeling that I should have done more. Been stronger. Protected my brother better.When

Zeke's POVI should have been dead. The arrow in my chest had been meant to kill me. But somehow, I woke up.My eyes fluttered open to chaos. Shouting. Fighting. The smell of blood and magic burning the air. Through blurry vision, I saw a person standing over Caius, who was on his knees, black veins spreading across his face.The rogue. I couldn't make out who it was, my head still foggy from being so close to death."Get Sienna out!" someone shouted—Isa, I thought. Purple magic burst from her hands, lighting up the cave.Rough hands grabbed me, pulling me to my feet. "Can you walk?" Ronan's words in my ear.Before I could answer, something hit the cave wall. Rocks crashed down, dust filling the air. I felt myself being pulled, stumbling over uneven ground, out into the forest."Wait," I gasped. "Sienna—""Isa's got her," Ronan said. "We need to split up. Meet at the river bend."More forms emerged from the trees—Syndicate masks gleaming in the early morning light. Ronan pushed me awa

Kieran's POVThe trees around me blurred as I ran faster than I ever had before. The Queen wanted to sacrifice Sienna. Tonight. Under the Blood Moon. Caius's warning repeated in my head, making my wolf howl with rage.No one would touch her. Not while I still lived.I found her by the river, where the moonlight turned her red hair to fire. She looked up, a small smile on her face when she saw me. That smile hit me like a punch to the chest."Kieran," she said. "I was wondering where you disappeared to."I reached for her hand before I could stop myself. Her skin was warm against mine, telling me that she was alive. Safe. For now."We need to talk," I said, moving her away from the others. Ronan watched us with narrowed eyes, but I didn't care.When we were far enough away, I stopped and turned to face her. "The Queen is coming. Tonight."Her face went white. "How do you know?""Caius. He found his court members murdered. It was a me

Sienna's POVThe world looked different through my new eyes. Colors were brighter. Scents were stronger. And the power that flowed through my blood made my skin tingle with energy."The mountain pass is just ahead," Ronan said, pointing to the narrow path that cut between two tall cliffs.I stopped, my wolf senses suddenly on high alert. "It's a trap."Ronan's hand tightened around mine. "Are you sure?"I closed my eyes, focusing on the strange new awareness that had woken inside me. Since drinking Isolde's potion, I could feel things I never could before—like invisible threads linking everything in the forest."Yes," I whispered. "They're waiting for us there. At least twenty of them."Caius appeared beside us, his pale face grim in the moonlight. Where he had come from, I had no idea. But right now, I was glad to see him."The vampire prince returns," Ronan said bitterly.Caius ignored him. "The Queen's forces have circled around.
