Marcus's POV The lady had peeled off the mask and it was just who I thought it was. Ruby was standing next to a man whose aura was formidable.I couldn't stop staring at his hand.It rested against the small of her back, casual kike he'd done it a hundred times before. He leaned closer and whispered something to Ruby. Her lips stretched to a smile. His hands gribbed her firmly and she didn't pull away. “Alpha.” Marcus stepped closer. “You're gripping that glass so hard. It's gonna shatter if you don't let go.”I looked down. My knuckles had gone white around the stem.“Sorry.”I set it down and a soft click followed before I actually broke it.“We should get going.” Marcus said.“I’m not leaving.”“I'm not talking about us leaving the city. I'm talking about leaving the party.”He nodded toward the staircase, where James was now laughing with some council member, Ruby still at his side. “You standing here staring at them isn't helping anyone and you look like you need to rest, Alpha

Ruby's POV Once we were inside, I realized my mistake. I spun around, taking in the beauty and scenery of the house.“Wait!” I halted, taking in the sleek open layout, the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the entire skyline. “This isn't a mansion, James.”James gripped his tie, loosening it as we walked in.“Yeah it isn't a mansion. It's the penthouse.”“But you told me this is your family house.”“Yeah it is but it's not the one you were picturing.“Ah I see. So…where's the other mansion?”“The main mansion is a few hours from here. We don't use it often anymore.”I shook my head slowly. "Wait lemme understand you, you mean you have a whole separate mansion you barely use, and this is the backup?"He shrugged slowly “I wouldn't call it a backup.”“James.”“It's more practical," he said simply. "The city keeps me here most of the time anyway as this is a more convenient place to pass the night.”I let out a breath, glancing around again, taking in the tiny details I missed the f

James's POVReeves was already loading the last gear into the back of the trunk when Tyson jogged over with two large rabbits slung over his shoulder, a grin etched on his face like he had just won a billion dollars lottery.“Well dinner has been sorted thanks to this.” He announced, arms hung on his waist.“For you, maybe,” Ruby said, wrinkling her nose."You're missing out.""I'll survive."He chuckled softly, waving a dismissive hand at me.I checked the straps on the equipment one last time before nodding toward the vehicle. "We should head back before it gets dark.I turned to look at Ruby who had handed her bow to Reeves, who accepted it with a small bow of his head. "Thank you so much for today," she said. “It's been years since I went outdoors and had fun. I appreciate today even if I never hit a single target.”“That's a lie though. You hit the tree.”Tyson offered helpfully.“That was an accident, Tyson. We all know that.”“Still counts. A hit is a hit. Doesn't matter how i

Ruby's POVThe moment the door clicked shut behind me, my head touched the door,my back leaned against it as I let out a breath that felt like I had been holding it all day. Finally, I was home. My home is surrounded by comforting silence.I let myself stay in that same position, shoulders dropping low, letting all the tension I had been carrying all day suddenly melt away. My breath came out ragged like I had ran a marathon on my way home.I took in my house, my eyes darting across the dim lit room. It was small. Smaller than the penthouse, smaller than the mansion and also smaller than anything James ever owned. But one thing was certain. This was mine. This house belonged to me no matter how small it was and that was all I cared about.There was no doubt I had fun today. That was something I could deny but having fun was different from having peace and enjoying an alone time with myself in the quietness of my home. Right now I need that. Peace was all I wanted. I made my way to the

Ethan's POV Three days.Three days was how long it had been since I had seen Ruby descend the stairs in a long green flowing floral gown and I hadn't seen her ever since. It was like she had vanished after that night at the ballroom. Marcus and I had already exhausted nearly all the leads Willowbrook had to offer. Hotels, restaurants and properties records tied to the Whitefield's holding.“How's this even possible?” I placed the length of the hotel room, dragging both haha through my hair. “It's not like we don't have the money, contact or resources. We have all this Marcus and yet it's still hard to find anything about her. She's just one woman. It's not like we are looking for multiple women.”“And that one woman is under the protection of the most powerful family in this city.” Marcus corrected not looking up from the laptop opened in his lap.“That doesn't and shouldn't make her invisible.”“Apparently, it does. She's under his network in business and social terms.”I dropped on
