บททั้งหมดของ The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Kieran The doors opened before I could reply. Sienna entered with Darius close behind. The gasps from the visiting Alphas proved what I already knew – her power was visible to anyone with the senses to feel it. "This is Sienna," I said simply, watching their responses. Elena's eyes widened. "The legends didn't exaggerate." Marcus stood abruptly. "You've hidden her from the Council!" "I've protected her," I repeated, letting my voice drop to a growl. "As is my right when someone seeks sanctuary in my territory." Sienna took the seat beside me, her head high despite the stress. "I'm not hidden anymore," she said. The ruby marks on her hands seemed to pulse with light. "And I think we have bigger problems than pack politics." Before anyone could reply, a commotion erupted outside the hall. Moments later, Ronan burst through the doors, pulling a struggling pack member behind him. "Sorry to interrupt," Ronan said, though his face showed no sorrow. "But I found this one tryin

Zeke's POV I watched Sienna from across the training field, her ruby marks glowing in the morning light. My twin sister—alive, powerful, and totally unaware of who I really was. The diplomatic meeting with Prince Caius last night had revealed more than expected. Vampires were being poisoned. The Crimson House was making moves. And the Ruby Wolf legacy was somehow tied to vampire beginnings. I flexed my hands, feeling the familiar burn beneath my skin. Not quite ruby fire like Sienna's, but something the Syndicate had made through years of painful experiments. "Are you going to stand there all day or actually help me train?" Sienna called, breaking my thoughts. I grinned, walking toward her. "Just admiring your technique, sis." The word felt strange on my tongue. Sister. Twin. Family. The Syndicate had raised me to believe she was the enemy—the Ruby Wolf who would destroy everything if not controlled. Yet here I was, playing the part of the long-lost brother while looking for weak

Isolde's POVAfter he left, I returned to my workings with renewed purpose. The scene was set: Sienna and Zeke heading toward the Queen, Ronan following his heart rather than his mission, Kieran struggling against his curse, and now Caius with his vampire schemes. Perfect chaos.As I began planning for a deeper divination, I noticed something odd about my workspace. The arrangement of my tools had changed slightly. Someone had been here while I was at the window with Caius."Lily," I called loudly. "Bring me fresh sage."My helper appeared in the doorway, head bowed submissively. "Yes, mistress."But as she approached, I saw it—a tiny silver pin on her collar. The Midnight Queen's mark."You poor, foolish girl," I said softly. "Did she promise you power?"Lily's head snapped up, her eyes now black as pitch. "The Queen sees all, traitor."Before she could move, I flicked my fingers. The chalk lines of my circle blazed with purple fire, locking us both inside."You've made a grave mista

The Midnight Queen's POV A snort came from the corner of the room. Victor, my newest assistant, stepped forward. His amber eyes gleamed with challenge."With respect, my Queen, you've failed to catch one girl multiple times. Why should we believe this plan will succeed?"The room went quiet. Eyes darted between us, eager for blood.I straightened slowly, feeling power build beneath my skin."Do you question me, Victor?"He didn't back down. "The Syndicate follows strength. Your obsession with these twins has cost us time and resources. Perhaps new leadership—"I moved before he finished speaking. My hand shot out, fingers curling in the air as my ruby markings blazed to life—not the bright red of Sienna's, but deep crimson like old blood.Victor froze, eyes widening as his breath caught in his throat. I walked toward him slowly, each step careful."I was hunting wolves when your grandfather was a pup," I whispered, close enough that only he could hear. "I've conquered death itself."

Darius's POVThe moon hung low in the sky as I slipped through the forest, careful to take the route I'd swept for Syndicate tracking devices earlier. The coded message had arrived via a dead drop—urgent meeting at the old hunting camp.My stomach churned with each step. Double spy. Traitor. Spy. The labels stuck to me like burrs, but none caught the whole truth.The cabin emerged between the trees, a shadow against shadows. No lights burned inside, but I knew she was waiting."You're late," Mara said as I entered. My Syndicate contact sat in the only chair, her silver hair gleaming in the darkness. "The Queen is displeased.""The Queen can wait," I answered, crossing my arms. "Kieran's doubled the guards. Getting away wasn't easy."Mara's ice-blue eyes narrowed. "Did you bring it?"I pulled a folded plan from my jacket—marked with false patrol routes and security blind spots that would lead any invading force straight into an ambush."Kieran's planning to move the pack south," I lied
