All Chapters of In the Embrace of Alpha Dexter: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I was helping Eveline in the kitchen when Beta Alvin called me. "Ruby, come with me for a second."I followed him down one of the corridors toward the Alpha's chambers. We stopped in front of a cream-colored double door. Alvin opened it. I was shocked.It was a spacious, beautiful room. A queen-sized bed with white silk sheets, a teak wood vanity, a huge three-door wardrobe. Thick carpet covered the floor, and there was a large window that looked straight out onto the mansion's back garden. Everything looked new, neat, and luxurious."Whose room is this?" I asked, stunned."Yours, Ruby," he replied with a small smile."My room? But why?" I couldn't believe it."Alpha Dexter's orders," Alvin explained. "He said you deserved a good room."I stared at the room, my eyes sparkling. It was the first time I'd ever had a room of my own, let alone one this nice."It's so beautiful," I said, barely containing my excitement. "Thank you.""Don't thank me," he said. "Thank the Alpha. If anything's

Morning came again. The warehouse's cold bit into my bones. My body ached, the claw wounds on my back stung like hell. Luna Eva's electric shock was still throbbing in my head.I don't know how long I was out cold. When I fully came to, the first thing I did was try to get myself free.I tugged at my ropes, putting everything I had into it. The muscles in my shoulders twitched, my wrists were bruised, but the ties didn't budge. Too strong. I let out a long, desperate sigh.Suddenly, a car sound. A familiar engine. Beta Alvin.My heart pounded. I tried to scream, to call out to him. But my voice was just a weak whimper. My throat was dry, sore from screaming all night. My body was too weak.The warehouse door opened. The dim morning light streamed in, blinding my eyes. Beta Alvin stood there."Ruby!" he called out, stepping quickly inside.But Madison suddenly appeared. She came from behind the door, blocking Beta Alvin's way."Sorry about the mess, Beta Alvin," Madison said, her tone

I looked around the Moonshadow pack as Alpha walked beside me, holding my hand. They had a beautiful flower garden. Colorful petals bloomed, neatly arranged. A faint sweet scent wafted through the air. My steps were still shaky, an effect of the wounds on my body. Alpha let me hold onto his arm, supporting me. His arm muscles felt firm under my touch."Can I do this?" I asked softly, glancing up at his arm, which I was holding.Alpha looked at me, then at our intertwined hands. A faint smile appeared on his face. "What do you mean?"I gestured to our arms with my eyes."You can do this all day," Alpha replied, his voice calm but with a hint of teasing.Awkwardness enveloped me. I felt shy. Walking with him like this jumbled my thoughts. I gathered a little courage."Why won't you meet that woman?" I asked. I knew he must have heard my voice. "She's beautiful. Classy."Alpha's face hardened. His gaze turned sharp. "What right do you have to say that?""Sorry," I said, pulling my hand a

That night, I went back to my room. I closed the door tightly. No one was here. No one was watching. I stood in the middle of the room, trying to recall that healing energy. I closed my eyes, focusing all my attention on the wounds on my body. I tried again. And again.I tried to draw energy, imagining warmth spreading, but nothing. My body felt cold. I imagined my hand healing a wound, like what happened to Celine, but there was no reaction. No light, no strange sensation, no improvement. Frustration enveloped me. My forehead started sweating again. A complete failure.I gave up, collapsing to the floor, hugging my knees. I felt bitter failure. Why? Why only when I'm desperate? Why only for others?Suddenly, I felt something move quickly near me. Light footsteps, like the rustle of fine fur on the floor. I lifted my head slightly, peering through the gap in my folded knees. A faint wolf-shaped streak of white light flashed in my vision. So fast. I instantly lifted my head, but there

"Why though?" Alpha asks, his voice challenging. "Why does it matter if it limits you?"Ruby looks into Alpha Dexter's intense black eyes. She's not fazed. This game, this push-and-pull Alpha's playing, makes Ruby feel challenged. She's not giving up that easily. She'll prove she can make Alpha fall for her.Ruby leans forward, bringing her face so close her lips almost brush Alpha's ear. The scent of mint and masculine soap wafts from Alpha's body."Because I don't like being restricted," Ruby whispers, full of provocation. "Especially by you."Ruby lets go of his arm, then her hands move up, gripping the collar of Alpha's wet robe, pulling him closer. The distance between them almost vanishes. Ruby's back is pressed perfectly against Alpha's chest."If you insist on making those strict rules," Ruby continues, her voice caught by their closeness, "I'll get reckless."Alpha remains silent, his breath soft against Ruby's cheek."How reckless?" Alpha asks.Ruby looks up slightly, her ey
