“What’s with that expression? I’m telling you, don’t look down on me. I’ve gained a lot of followers over this period of time!” Ruth said nothing. She headed to her office while Pearl followed her. Fortunately, Pearl knew that she should avoid arousing suspicion, so she did not start causing a ruckus outside. She only whispered to Ruth when she entered the office. “You’re looking for investors for your company? Why don’t you get your husband to help? Isn’t he really powerful?” Ruth sat down in her office chair and did not even look up. “How did you come up with the conclusion that he’s powerful?”

I told her. She giggled, gripping the steering wheel with her both hands. "I once felt the same way. But everything changed the day I witnessed my mother dying. I couldn't help her. We save lives every day now, but that guilt never truly washes away." She said, pulling over the car after reaching the club. "Look at the things you have achieved Aunt. You're an inspiration." I told her. I was proud of her. She had started from zero. "My baby," She turned to me and gently caressed my cheek.

Ruth POV When I was still in the Shadow Pack, I began to realize that my power was not just a gift, but a calling. People from all over the pack were coming to me, seeking my help and my healing touch. I was hesitant at first, unsure if I was ready for such a responsibility. But with Michael by my side, I began to embrace my power and my purpose. One night, as I was walking through the forest, I saw someone standing before me. It was a woman, tall and statuesque, with long silver hair and piercing green eyes. She was surrounded by an aura of light, and I could feel her power radiating towards me.

It seemed like the lady he brought last night had left seeing as he was all alone. Ruth was able to get a job in a company forty-five minutes from her house, she got the post of the C.E.O's PA. She is to start work tomorrow and she can't wait for it to happen. She went home humming a tune her mother would always sing for her when she was young. She entered her house and was heading to her room not bothering to switch on the light when all of a sudden the bulb lit up, she yelled thinking a thief had broken into her house.

It was the look of a person checking something against a mental image. I turned away and went back to the counter. "Ruth," I said, keeping my voice low. She was at the griddle. "I'm going to refill the sugar caddies. Can you cover the counter for a few minutes?" She glanced over her shoulder at the two men, then at me. Ruth was sixty-one years old and had been running this diner since her husband died and left it to her, and she had seen enough of the world to recognize when a question wasn't really a question.

Her antenna was at alert. “Just tell me who it was. You know I don’t like guessing whenever there is hot tea to pass around”. “Simon...Powell”, she said in a dramatic tone. “The same Simon I know? That guy I have always called the bad news? That crooked boyfriend of yours?” Ruth asked with disdain in her voice.

VERENA “Sweetie, could you pass me the salt?” Ruth calls out to me from the other end of the kitchen, and I turn around to face her. The old lady’s eyes are focused on the pot, her gray hair pulled up in a tight bun. My lips curve into a smile, “Sure, here you go.” I grab the nearby salt canister from the white countertop and walk over to her. Ruth gestures for me to sprinkle some salt into the simmering tomato soup. Due to her simple appearance anyone would mistake her for a regular staff member working for the Alpha of the Mountain Cross pack. However, she is Carlisle’s nanny and a respected member of the packhouse.

After ensuring she was sleeping well and holding her favourite bear, I cautiously closed her door and made for the stairs. But not after I glanced at Mr. Powers’ door. The way he shut his daughter up when she tried to defend me crept into my mind. Perhaps Ruby wasn’t exaggerating when she said he hardly talked to her. And come to think of it, I have never seen him sit down for once after coming back from work to have a little chat with Ruby. And that sucks a lot. And it explains why Ruby would go as far as executing a prank. The result of that prank flashed in my mind and I chuckled before I knew it.

Just normal. Ruth is barking orders like she was born to run a small army apron tied too tight her hair coming loose, yelling at people she’s known for thirty years and people she met last week like they’re all the same. “Don’t put that there are you blind?” she snaps then turns around and hands a cookie to a kid with a smile like she didn’t just scare the life out of someone. “Here you go, sweetheart.” Jess is laughing too loud at something one of the fishermen says, her kids running circles around her legs while she pretends she isn’t tired, stressed and worried about things she won’t say out loud.
