Kaisar Ruby

They Told her to choose duty. She chose love and paid the price. Selene was never meant to be ordinary. As the daughter of Alpha Jamie and bearer of ancient spirit energy, she was destined to lead her people into a new era. Feared, revered, and expected to follow the path carved for her, Selene carried the weight of her world until she met him. Ethan, a hybrid prince and the son of vampire King Nicholas was everything she was warned against. A forbidden mate. A dangerous alliance. But he was also her sanctuary, her secret, and the other half of a bond that defied the rules of bloodlines and kingdoms. Together, they hid their love behind the walls of duty until a war ignited that would shatter everything. When betrayal tears through the supernatural realms and a dark force returns from the dead, Selene is forced to embrace her power, her destiny, and the unbearable cost of leadership. With her only maid and dearest friend, Ruby, falling in battle to save her, Selene is driven to the edge of heartbreak and rage. Reinforcements arrive. Allies unite. But the true war begins when he returns. Xander, a monster of legend, reborn in shadow… and targeting everything Selene holds dear. Now, as worlds collide and the battlefield burns, Selene must face the unthinkable: To save the world, she may have to kill the man she loves.

"I, Ruby Quinn, reject you, Alpha Colt Reinhart, as my mate…" ************************** Walking in on my mate, Alpha Colt Reinhart, fucking a red-haired slut on our matrimonial bed was a severe jab to my heart. To make matters worse, he gloated to my face about taking her as his breeder and mocked my inability to bear a child in our four years of being together. The pain from his betrayal came with a great urge to redeem a bit of my dignity, so I rejected him and went crying to his cousin and my childhood sweetheart, Killian Reinhart. We didn’t do anything we weren’t supposed to do. He just let me sleep in his suite after consoling me. It was also the last time I laid my eyes on Colt. However, four years later, I became a mother of three boys with an insane resemblance to Killian, which was very illogical. And if that wasn’t enough complication, Colt returns to my life, pleading for a second chance, and claiming paternity of my kids. It becomes a nasty fight between the two brothers, and it can only end when I choose one of them as the father of my triplets. But how do I do that, when I wasn’t so sure myself?

Meet Cameron Ezekiel MacMillan, all six feet, two inches tall. Ice blue eyes that can melt off your panties, and make you fall head over heels in love with him, with a sinfully gorgeous body. Cameron lost his wife five years ago, left alone with two kids; Summer and Spring, five and seven years respectively. All he wanted was a good nanny who wouldn't quit after a month or few weeks, not a purple-eyed woman who would make his heart race like never before. He hated the way she made him feel because he knew that feeling came with a weakness, one he couldn't afford while being the CEO of a multinational company. Meet Ruby Miller, all five foot five tall, with a very sexy figure, even though she wasn't really aware of her shape that way. Rare purple eyes that feel like they are looking into your soul, with kissable lips. Aside from that, losing people and things were her specialty. Five years ago, she had lost her parents, and now, her job, and her boyfriend just broke up with her. Finding a new job to tide over before going to law school was the plan, not falling for her boss. It is a billionaire-nanny story. Enjoy!

Ruby Morgan was, in every way, an ordinary human. At twenty-six, she had never had a boyfriend, a date, or a first kiss. Throughout school, her crushes went unnoticed, perhaps due to her nerdy appearance or her tendency to blend in. She always chose studying over parties.​ Despite being a grown woman, she remained a virgin and was still intensely curious about sex. By day, she was the head technician at a top digital company; by night, she ran a small diner. Her quiet life was about to change with a single dare from her friend Whitney, who finally managed to drag her to a party one evening.​ Ethan Blackwood, a thirty-two-year-old Alpha, led the infamous Blood Moon Pack. He was a powerful figure in the werewolf world and a business magnate in the human realm, where he was seen as an unattainable aristocrat. To the world, he was a handsome, successful, and notorious bachelor, often at the center of a new scandal. He had been engaged three times, only to break it off each time, sometimes because the woman got too clingy, other times because he simply got bored and cheated. Women swarmed him, but Ethan had made a vow long ago: he would only settle with his fated mate.

Meu marido CEO, Clayton Lockwood, estava convencido de que eu era uma interesseira. Sempre que ele ia consolar o seu primeiro amor durante as suas crises depressivas, acabava comprando uma bolsa de edição limitada para mim. Depois de seis meses de casamento, o meu closet já estava abarrotado delas. Após me dar noventa e nove bolsas, ele percebeu que eu tinha mudado. Eu já não chorava até perder o fôlego nem discutia até ficar rouca quando ele ia visitar o primeiro amor. Também deixei de enfrentar tempestades e atravessar a cidade só porque ele dizia que queria me ver. Passei a pedir apenas um terço para o nosso filho que ainda não tinha nascido. Quando mencionei a criança, o olhar de Clayton se suavizou. — Assim que a Ruby melhorar, a gente vai primeiro ao hospital para fazer um check-up e depois compra o terço. Eu concordei obedientemente. Mal sabia ele que eu tinha sofrido um aborto espontâneo dez dias antes. Também já tinha preparado um acordo de divórcio, pronto para receber a assinatura dele.

My fiance, Simon Rossi, is a mafia Don with a reputation for brutality. He suddenly takes in an orphan girl and spoils her rotten. He names her Giara, saying she's pure, like a beam of light. But that is the name he has promised for our future daughter. He thinks he's hidden it well. But the night before our engagement party, I notice his cufflinks. The ruby ones I gave him are replaced with cheap plastic cartoon cats. I don't believe he's really cheating, so I abduct Giara to get answers without hurting her. Then Simon bursts in with his men. 50 people die, and three armories go up in flames. "Ivina Coleo, consider this a lesson. But don't worry. I'll send her away. Remember, this is the first time you touch her, and the last." But at the engagement party, Giara sits with Simon's parents, smiling right at me. The sight sparks a fury I can't control. I lunge forward, determined to send her away myself. Simon tells Giara to leave, coaxing me through the ceremony. But that night, he binds my limbs with stones and sinks me into the sea. "I told you that was the last time." Cold water fills my lungs. When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day I first abducted Giara. This time, I don't want Simon or the wedding anymore.

The night before my wedding, I was in a terrible car accident. I fell into a coma, and my body was broken and bruised. While I lay unconscious, my fiancé called off the engagement and married his childhood sweetheart instead. My mother went to demand justice on my behalf—but never made it back. She died in a sudden, brutal accident along the way. In that moment of chaos, it was my childhood friend who stepped in. He knelt on one knee outside the hospital with a wedding gift of a hundred thousand dollars and quietly handled my mother's funeral. I was wheeled into surgery. I lived, but was left with a permanent disability. And still, he promised to stay by my side, for life. I was deeply moved. We got married. But five years later, I overheard him talking to his secretary. "Mr. Davidson, you arranged for someone to hit your wife with a car, just so Lucy could marry the one she loved. Aren't you afraid she'll find out?" "For Lucy, there's nothing I wouldn't do. I've already given Ruby the rest of my life. Isn't that enough?" I covered my mouth, holding back a sob. Only then did I realize—the marriage I believed in had been a lie all along. So be it. I'll disappear and let him be with the woman he truly loves.
