Ruby Matthews

"Please, let's try again. We can make another baby right now if you want," I begged, my voice broken and desperate. "A like you doesn't deserve a second chance," he spat, his words like venom cutting through my heart like a knife had stabbed my chest. "I love you." I whispered, despite his harshness, feeling my heart bleed internally from pain and my wolf slowly vanishing due to heartbreak. *********** Ruby once had the most perfect life any she-wolf could ask for; with a loving mate by her side and a baby on the way, what else could she want? However, her whole world turned upside down right in the delivery room, and she faces a cascade of heartbreaks. Life seemed to have given her a second chance at happiness until she got rejected for the second time openly, in the most disgraceful way, and thrown away like dirt, sending her back on the verge of tears. Seven years later, with her son all grown up and getting accepted into the biggest werewolf academy that was owned by her ex-mate, she is forced to go back to her previous life and face her nightmare all again. But this time she is going back stronger and better for the sake of her child. But what happens when she returns and finds her mate regretful and remorseful—and not just that she crosses paths with her second chance mate—the new strongest alpha in town who also has a little daughter? Would she forsake her quest for revenge by accepting her first mate and childhood love for the sake of her child and having the perfect family she had once dreamed of, or would she explore the new spark of connection with the second chance mate, the powerful alpha?

Sebastian comes back from Alpha Academy with a darkness his parents can't ignore. It's not just typical teen troubles, it's something connected to Dietus, an ancient god from their past. He's overwhelmed, holding onto secrets that could disgrace his family and make him question who he really is. His best friend Ruby has always been different, with powers and striking purple eyes that scare people. She tries to live up to the high expectations of her royal werewolf family, but often falls short. Her life revolved around one close friend, a boy who always protected her. But when he returns from Alpha Academy, distant and troubled, she feels more alone than ever. Things shift when they meet two new people; Gabe, an Alpha with a mysterious past, and Hailey, a sweet girl who draws them into a deeper mystery. Together, they dig into the dark secrets of their parents' pasts, unleashing sinful betrayals and deceitful lust. Preview: "At first," he said, stepping closer, grabbing my underwear and tearing it away. "I thought you were some innocent child, just a prude and angry girl. Mmm, but now I see you." He lifted my leg around his arm, bending his knees to align himself right at my core, his intentions clear. "Yeah? And what am I?" I as his tip teased me. "A ," he chuckled, thrusting into me with a force. My jaw dropped, and I cried out, overwhelmed by the raw sensation. "You're tight for a little ." He growled, pulling out and ramming hard back inside me. He pounded into me, taking me dirty against the brick wall. His eyes watched me, black as night and filled with anger. "! Don't stop!" I screamed, my nails digging into his shoulders. He felt so amazing.

L'année de mes dix-huit ans, le Haut-Roi a convoqué les héritiers des quatre grands clans, vampires, loups-garous, dragons et sirènes, et a étalé leurs portraits devant moi, m'ordonnant d'en choisir un pour une alliance matrimoniale. Sans hésitation, j'ai pointé du doigt le plus obscur d'entre eux : Mathéo Dimont, un loup-garou des terres frontalières. La cour a retenu son souffle, car tous savaient que mon cœur avait longtemps appartenu à Iris, l'Alpha au sang royal le plus pur. Pendant sept ans, je l'avais suivi comme un chien fidèle, supportant son indifférence, déclarant publiquement mon amour, allant jusqu'à sceller un pacte avec mon propre sang pour l'épouser. Dans ma vie précédente, j'avais obtenu ce mariage. Et grâce à moi, il avait hérité des ressources du Haut-Roi, devenant le souverain des quatre clans. Mais il m'avait trahie en marquant secrètement Ruby, la fille adoptive de mes parents. Furieux, ceux-ci l'ont envoyée étudier dans une meute lointaine. À partir de ce jour, Iris me haïssait viscéralement. Ses maîtresses s'étaient multipliées, chacune ressemblant étrangement à ma sœur adoptive. Il les laissait m'humilier en public, transformant peu à peu ma position de reine en sinistre farce. La dépression m'avait rongée. Je ne maintenais ma forme de louve qu'à coup d'inhibiteurs. Jusqu'au jour où il avait remplacé lui-même mes médicaments par un poison lent. J'étais morte dans une grotte glacée, portant en moi notre enfant jamais né. Revenue à la vie, j'avais perdu mes illusions. Quand le Haut-Roi m'a fait à nouveau choisir, mon doigt s'est posé sur Mathéo. J'ai cru échapper au cauchemar... jusqu'à ce qu'Iris perde la raison en apprenant nos fiançailles...
