All Chapters of In the Embrace of Alpha Dexter: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ruby spent that afternoon in the backyard, observing the large rock Alpha Dexter had pointed out. The rock was near a small pond, its surface covered in moss in some places, and it looked heavy. Sunlight streamed onto its surface, highlighting its rough texture and small cracks.Ruby traced every curve, every side, searching for a weak point, looking for a way."Ruby?" a voice came from behind her."What is it, Julian?" Ruby asked, without taking her eyes off the rock.Julian finally stopped a few steps behind Ruby. He looked at the rock, then back at Ruby. "What are you doing here? Why are you still looking at that rock?"Ruby sighed, then turned to Julian. "Alpha gave me a condition.""What condition?" Julian asked, raising an eyebrow."I can ask for one wish, as long as I can move this rock to where he wants it," Ruby explained. "Alone. Without anyone's help. And it has to be done by this afternoon.""What?! That's crazy!" Julian was shocked. His eyes widened, and he looked at the

Ruby still didn't understand Alpha's treatment. Ever since their agreement, the 'serving' work Alpha meant simply consisted of him constantly clinging to her. Whether in his study, in the garden, or wherever Alpha happened to be, Ruby was always asked to stay close. No specific tasks, just her presence.Some pack members began to notice this oddity, and rumors started to spread. Most weren't bold enough to interfere, choosing to whisper behind their backs. But one omega girl, Sarah, didn't like this. Her eyes were always watching Ruby's every move, looking for an opening.That night, after a full day of awkwardly following Alpha, Alpha asked Ruby to follow him to his room. Ruby's heart pounded. She didn't know what to expect.Alpha Dexter opened his bedroom door, then stepped inside. The room was large, dominated by a giant bed in the center. Alpha pointed towards the bed."You can lie on my bed," Alpha said, his voice flat.Ruby looked at the bed, then at Alpha, confused. "What do yo

In less than 24 hours after the attack, Alpha Dexter delivered. Led by a recovered Beta Alvin, the Alpha's tracking team worked swiftly.The attackers' tracks weren't hard to follow, especially since some left familiar scent trails. The Moonshadow forces raided the attackers' hideout on the border of another Pack. The culprits were captured. A quick interrogation was enough to uncover who was behind it all.Celine Stanford, the Beta of the Ironwood Pack and Luna Camila's sister, was named.The next morning, Celine Stanford was brought to Moonshadow. She arrived with an arrogant look, refusing to walk, so the guards had to drag her to the interrogation room."What were you thinking?!" Dexter snarled. "How dare you attack an Alpha!"Celine scoffed, glaring at Alpha with disdain, then shifting her gaze to Ruby. "Bullshit! I don't know anything about that. They must be lying!""Why would they lie?" Beta Alvin asked, his voice low. "You have strong reasons to hate Ruby. And Alpha forbade y

Three days zipped by. This was Celine's last night to decide: accept Alpha Dexter's rejection or face the Alpha Council.As dusk hit, a slick black luxury car rolled through Moonshadow's gates. Celine Stanford stepped out, two loyal Ironwood Pack guards right behind her. She headed straight for Alpha Dexter's office.Inside, Alpha Dexter was chilling at his desk, his gaze steady, like Celine's arrival didn't faze him at all.Celine walked in, all confidence. Her eyes locked straight onto Alpha Dexter."Look, I don't like this, but I showed up."Alpha Dexter just gave a nod. "So, you made up your mind?"Celine took a step closer to the Alpha's desk. Her lips thinned. "I admit it." Celine dropped her gaze. "Yeah, I did all that. I hired them. I ordered that attack."Celine looked up again, her eyes spitting anger and accusation. "But this is all on you! You're the one who pissed me off! You kept giving me false hope, then you messed around with that servant who doesn't even have a soul

Alpha Albert didn't take long to recover from his shock. His face was flushed crimson, and the veins in his temples bulged. He looked at Ruby with a furious, disbelieving gaze."Mate?" Alpha Albert snapped. "Ruby belongs to Silvermoon, her betrothal decisions are handled by the pack elders!"Alpha Dexter offered a cold smile."She doesn't belong to Silvermoon, Alpha Albert," he said. "Ruby was treated like a slave there. Used as debt collateral, humiliated, and looked down upon. I've owned her since you released her as collateral.""Ruby, say something!" Alpha Albert barked.Ruby turned to Alpha Dexter. "I choose to be by his side. Alpha Dexter has become my mate."The room immediately fell silent. Alpha Albert and Luna Eva stared wide-eyed. Their faces were ashen. Luna Eva even stumbled back.Alpha Dexter took a breath, a faint smile playing on his lips. He touched the back of Ruby's hand, which was still holding his arm. "She's made her choice, Alpha Albert. You have no right over h
