What Happened To Max And Ruby's Parents Novels & Stories

“Wait, what?” If I understood her correctly, then she was essentially saying the guard had been caught in some illegal affairs, and she'd discovered it before me, so she'd killed him on my behalf. For a child, that was a serious allegation. “Where are your parents, Ruby? Your mommy and daddy, where are they?” I asked softly. At the mention of ‘mommy’, her eyes watered, and I was filled with alarm. “Daddy and mommy fought,” she sniffled. “Mommy died. Daddy died.”

“My father, Kai wasn’t the one who raised me. He only came into my life later, after my mom died.” My mouth parted. “Wait, so… he’s not your biological father?” Max shook his head. “No. My mom was a rogue. She left her pack before I was born. She raised me alone until she… until she didn’t come home one night.” I felt my heart twist. “I’m so sorry, Max.” “She was killed by hunters,” he said, jaw clenched. “I don’t talk about her much. But I wanted you to see this place. It’s the only thing that’s ever felt safe to me.”

I went to work on getting the basement door unlocked while Shane worked on the front one. “Emma dear Emma! You poor, poor creature. You actually thought I would just forgive and forget, but that is never going to happen. Because of you my husband left me and took my children. Shane left me for you and also took my children. And my son is dead because of you! Plus, so much more fucked up things you tried to destroy me with. Now tonight you are going to watch everyone of the people you care about, and love die. This is all your fault their deaths will be on your hands. Come on cousin let us play one last game. Hide and seek, your it.” Ruby’s voice echoed through the speakers all over the house

I had disrupted an important event for the pack, and it wasn't something I had intended. Max interrupted our conversation abruptly, his tone stern and commanding. "Your father wants to see you, Ruby." His words were like a jolt, snapping me back to the reality of the situation. My absence had indeed caused a significant commotion. Anxiety churned within me as I followed Max to meet my father. I could see the serious looks on their faces, and it only added to my growing apprehension.

I've given up. "You know...Alan Richardson doesn't take too kindly to people lying about his children." Everyone knows Max's dad doesn't like anything bad said about them, truth or not. He ensured all of Max's brothers' issues vanished. I heard stories of the students who reported him, and they had nothing but hell since. "You're not very talkative, Ruby. What if I tell you I met your parents this morning." No! "Why?" What the fuck? "Oh, I don't know, maybe to destroy that relationship a little more. Which I did. I hope you didn't want your parents to forgive you, as that won't happen now."

"You should've died too! You should've died with Ruby, that ungrateful woman! John! The biggest mistake of my life was letting you live!" Young John watched Max's twisted visage, filled with not just hatred but also confusion. Later, he spent time investigating the relationship between his mother and Max, discovering that his mother Ruby had not willingly married into the Matthews family. It was Max who had set his sights on her, coercing and manipulating until he had Ruby in his grasp. Yet, Ruby's heart belonged to another, not him. Despite being married, she never showed genuine affection towards him until John came along. His birth seemed to breathe hope into her desolate life, but at tha

“How I became Xylem’s leader is related to how I survived the building's collapse.” “Huh?” ”We should sit down if we’ll be talking about it.” Ruby erased the look of seriousness on her face and nodded. “Let’s finish clearing the table.” When that activity was done, we were seated at the table, and Ruby was already digging into her cake. “I almost died that day.” The fork in her hand was dropped onto the plate in reaction to the words I dropped out of nowhere. “I had no hope of survival because I was trapped with no chance to move. And, that was when Maximus’s father entered the picture.”

I asked as I motioned for him to come in. "Is it true?!" he asked frantically. Jackal and I looked at him and he ran his hands through his hair. "Did Ruby's Dad really do all those awful things that they are saying? Did he try to kill her?" he demanded. I sighed. "Yeah, he did. He was a monster." I explained and Sam paled. He looked at me and I saw panic in his face. "It's okay, man. He's dead. Ruby got hurt but she'll be alright. She killed him." Jackal continued and Sam shut his eyes and shook his head.

I grated out fiercely. "Enough of this drama pretty girl. Do you know what they had to face after the death of uncle Leonard and aunt Elsa? My parents had dangerous gangs after their lives and what did you expect from them? That they run into the arms of death because they were trying to be there for you and Martina and leave their four children as orphans?" Ruby fired back and it took everything in me not to pick up the fork and stab her till her body is left without holes. "But Martina and I became orphans and why? Because our parents were fighting the "dangerous gangs" that were after your parents lives" I said in a low voice with an emotionless smile on my face and that was when it dawne

It was a blessing not everybody could ever have. The blessing to heal and to love once again. I just couldn’t fathom how Ruby didn’t know about the whole story and what happened to her father during that war. As far as I could recall, she wasn’t on the battlefield that day. Perhaps she was sent away from that chaos, knowing I would kill every one of them after what he did to my former mate. “I don’t care what happened!” Ruby screamed with her face drenched with tears and I saw on Sylvie’s face the sympathy I didn’t expect to see from her. “Why did you killed my dad!”
