Rubius Novia Novels & Stories

"So, I will let Amanda take the title of Luna—I don't want to make things harder for Kelvin. However, I refuse to break the rules of our clan. After all, I am the daughter of the Southern Werewolf General. No she-wolf in our bloodline has ever been claimed as a mate without holding the title of Luna," I said, my voice calm, but resolute. "That's why I've come today, Luna. Our bond may have been arranged by the Alpha, but I seek your blessing… I want to reject him as my mate."

I swiftly scanned the area, searching for Novia. Suddenly, a familiar laugh pierced through the music's cacophony. My gaze settled on Novia in a corner of the bar, dressed in a stylish black outfit. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, exuding an attractive shine. Joy surged within me, and I approached with light steps. "Why are you so late?" Novia teased. I smiled, "Sorry, a bit tied up at work. You look fantastic; is that a new dress?" Novia proudly wiggled her body, "Yeah, just got it. But Freya, have you really made up your mind?"

Although it should have been easy for me, the kind of situation I found myself in made it harder. After successfully turning back, I saw a young lady in her early twenties staring at me. She had blonde hair, and a pair of blue eyes that appeared to be so charming. I could swear I thought she was the moon goddess, as her beauty alone blew me away. If I were a guy, I would have had nose bleeding by now.

“Mira.” She expected me to shrink. Or stutter. Or babble like before. Instead, I met her stare with something new—quiet steel. That alone made her falter. Just one blink of hesitation. But she quickly recovered, plastering on a smirk. She tossed her hair dramatically and stepped closer, inspecting me with fake sweetness. “So… Adrian?” she asked, pretending to smile innocently. “You came with him?” Adrian answered before I even opened my mouth. “I offered my company,” he said politely. “A woman like Nova deserves proper escort.”

She was dutiful, obedient and diligent too, if he could quote Fenris’s words as of yesterday, and his jaw ticked slightly at this brazen compliment. “Ruby right?” He said in question, and she looked up with a small smile and responded, “Yes Adolph. My name is Ruby.” “Good…” He paused, swallowing and then he asked, “So tell me more about this sister of yours.” A smile immediately appeared on her lips, like she was remembering something memorable, and then she began. “Daciana… her name is Daciana.” “Arghhh…” A pain shot through his chest and he gave out a short yell, his hand reaching out to grab his coat, but just as quickly as the torment came, did it dissipate instantly.

She closed her eyes, trying to find some comfort in the silence of their living room. “Ruby, I forgot to ask, what’s his name” Naomi asked out of curiosity cutting through Ruby’s thought “Stephan Rodriguez” Ruby replied nonchalantly “Hold on, Ruby please tell me your Stephan isn’t the same Stephan the popular business mogul,” Naomi asked “Well from what I found out, he is the same person, the heir to the Grand Empire” Ruby replied Naomi took out her phone and quickly typed in “Stephan Rodriguez” turning her phone to Ruby “Is this your mystery man” Naomi asked showing Ruby a picture of Stephan from the internet

ANSWER IMMEDIATELY. Me [3:49pm]: Her name is Niara. Three seconds passed. Nova [3:49pm]: NIARA??? ARIA. Nova [3:49pm]: that is the most perfect wolf name I've ever heard in my life and I haven't even met her yet Nova [3:50pm]: also I lied earlier. I am crying aggressively. Nova [3:50pm]: Darius is pretending not to notice because he respects my dignity Nova [3:51pm]: does Raze know about Niara yet. Are they being weird? I feel like they're being weird.

Rosemary The landscape around us shifted again. The barren wasteland melted away, replaced by a vast, endless expanse of water. The sky above was an inky black, devoid of stars, while the water beneath my feet rippled with an unnatural glow, a luminous silver that seemed alive, pulsing like a heartbeat. I stood at the center of the water, its cool surface solid beneath me, yet it undulated with each step I took. “This is the first trial,” my darker self said, her voice steady, resonating like the quiet thunder of an approaching storm. She stood before me, a perfect mirror but infinitely more composed, more assured. “The Trial of the Mind.”

She had changed into an elegant knee-length purple dress, her hair neatly combed, and her face lightly made up. "I didn't invite you! Leave!" Mia snapped. "Oh, but this is my house, Tia. I don't need an invitation. I'm hosting the guests." Ruby quickly dismissed Mia and turned to Mayte. "Hello. It was nice to meet you. I'm Ruby Rosas." Ruby extended her hand, and Mayte took it, looking astonished. It was a usual reaction for Ruby whenever she introduced herself. Her conversation partners needed a moment to process how similar Ruby looked to Liz. This was Mayte's first time seeing and realizing the resemblance to Liz.

Meanwhile, I'm free to tour this new place. The maid Dominic sent me was a rather young girl, only a few years older than me, her name was Ruby. She worked at Arnold's house for five years, after which she was selected by Dominic's housekeeper to clean the mansion. Ruby's appearance does not make people remember if they only met once, Ruby is of Filipino descent, quite open personality. When I entered my room, Ruby was helping me put my clothes in the closet. "Hello Lady Esther Joan, I'm Ruby, your maidservant."
