"Your mother was a decent woman, naive but she had a good heart. She died too young. Just 200 years old. That's such a tragedy." Elizabeth said dramatically.
It was a touchy subject for Ruben, both his parents had died in a plane crash 70 years ago. It happened long ago but it's still hurt him.
"Serena claims that my mother and she had become good friends but mom refused to support her when she was on the run."
"Oh! that was such a terrible affair, the poor girl was kidnapped and forced to become a wolf. But she should have been thankful about it. Being a wolf is an honour." Beth said, proudly.
Ruben rolled his eyes," right! so coming back to the point what exactly happened back then?"
"After Serena ran away, the council had split between those who supported the dark wolves and those who didn't. Finding and mating with a fiery one would have brought prosperity for the werewolves hence it was very important."
"By kidnapping and fo
Lisa was wrapped in strong arms as someone grabbed her from the floor. It took her a moment to collect herself, but the sense of safety vanished when she realized who had found her. She was looking into those green eyes. Ruben was kneeling bedside her holding her arms.His eyes were filled with genuine concern. Lisa was puzzled. She wiggled out of his grip and fell against the wall, bracing herself for his attack"Stay away from me!""What happened? Did someone hurt you?" He asked.He looked away from her and towards the open door. She tried to slide against the wall and slip away from him. She pressed her back as hard against the wall as she could. Her breathing was frantic and she felt like she was having a full-blown panic attack."Please tell me what's wrong?" He asked. He reached his hand out to put it on her shoulder and she almost fell over trying to avoid his touch."You....you tired too....."She looked down looking
"Does it hurt?" Hugo asked."Not really, I barely notice it," Lisa said.Hugo touched her neck and examined the mark. Finally when he was done Ruben let himself relax."How long has it been since you were bitten ?""One week," Ruben replied."It's been very long since anyone saw Dorcas or the dark wolves. They do attack a few packs sometimes but no one has interacted much with them. It seems like Dorcas is more powerful than we expected." Hugo said."But why does he want Lisa?" Ruben asked."I am not sure but I believe it's something to do with her bloodline. She is the descendent of the fiery one. ""So? How does that matter? I have many descendants. " Serena interjected. "Unless she is the other fiery one." She suddenly stopped and looked at Lisa. Her eyes widened."You have the mark too?"Lisa looked flustered and exchanged glances with Ruben. What was she supposed to answer?'Just say
"A penny for your thought?" Ruben asked Lisa when they returned to their room. She had been completely silent since the meeting adjourned. "I am just thinking about taking a shower." She replied. "Well, then go ahead," Ruben said with an amused look. "But I am not supposed to be alone. Are you going to follow me inside ?" She looked furtively at the bathroom door. "Unfortunately yes but I promise I will keep my eyes closed. " He grinned. She huffed. "Never mind, I will go to bed," she said. She walked right past Ruben and headed towards the bed. "Hey, are you alright? I was just kidding. I am not going to peep inside. Please have your shower." Ruben said, turning towards her. He could understand her worry. Being tailed 24 hours was annoying. "I'm fine. I don't need a shower." She replied. "Is there anything I can do for you? If you
Lisa woke up to the sensation of being kissed. Ruben was kissing her neck. He was on his side with his arm around her waist. He kissed her shoulder and noted that at some point during the night she put his t-shirt on. Her scent interviewing with his was intoxicating and strangely arousing. She let out a small sigh and raised her arms in front of her, stretching out her muscles."Good morning," Ruben said.He continued to kiss her shoulder, covering the area with small kisses. She pulled forward and then spun herself around to face him."Hey," she smiled.He took her chin in his hand, pressing his lips against hers. She chuckled and turned her head."I need to brush my teeth first," she pushed herself up before Ruben could tell her he didn't care."Where are you going?""Bathroom," she replied.He started to get up from the bed."Please don't follow me in there," she said. "I will keep the door open. You can talk ve
The freaked-out voice of Andrea and her chums got louder as Lisa approached."Well, look who finally made it home. The bride and the groom." Andrea said.The office was in complete chaos. Betas and omegas were running around holding papers, talking on the phone or just freaking out as Andrea barked orders."Wow! are we planning to attack someone?" Ruben said, looking around. The wolves froze when they heard his voice and bowed then looked around furtively.Andrea came up to him and punched his chest hard. "I am trying to plan your shotgun mating ceremony. At such short notice, this is the best I can do !"Ruben picked up one of the invitation cards from the table and read through it. "It's pretty. Who are we inviting again?"Andrea rolled her eyes."Nothing much the usual council members, important Alphas and the vampires." She said."Cool, seems like you have it under contr
Trent braced himself as he approached the rundown building. Jackson was full of rage as usual, but the news he had brought would throw him over the edge. Jackson had been pissed off ever since his altercation with Ruben. Moreover, the penalties which the council had imposed on the pack was driving him towards financial ruin.Trent was unsure about their agreement now. Had he not been a rogue with zero alliances and council at his back, he would have left Jackson long ago.“A mating ceremony,” Jackson Clifford said through gritted teeth.“Are you pissed off because you haven't been invited?” Flint, said lazily from the couch.“You have any idea how humiliating this is? I am a laughing stock now.” Jackson grumbled.“Perhaps you should have just left her alone. Ruben is dangerous and powerful, you know that.” Flint shrugged.
Andrea expected Sebastian to jump at her but instead he turned away, unbuckling the belt of his jeans as he crossed the living room stripping completely without a hint of self-consciousness. He let her eyes gaze at his body slowly.He was the most amazing man she had ever seen. All hard muscles, with a thick, rock hard cock.Her wolf howled softly, impatient to be taken, her body responded by flooding with moisture as she felt herself getting wet. Sebastian's lips quirked in a little smile. The little wolf was reacting to him the way he expected. His was so hard that if he didn't take her soon he would probably start ripping off the living room. In a sudden blurring movement, he caught her and pinned her down on the couch, his large hand tight against the back of her neck."Such a tease," he breathed softly, rubbing his cheek against her silky soft skin.Her skin was very soft and so fragile. His tongue trailed down her throat and he groaned his pleas
Trent Piccolo reached for the dagger that was strapped to his thigh. He wore a loose robe-like tunic, like everyone else there. He mingled among the guests, undetected, as he had bathed in a strong alcohol-based potion to block his scent temporarily. It would wear off in a few hours, but he wasn't planning to stay for long anyway.He didn't have a partner tonight and had no intention of undressing with the crowd. He had missed a great opportunity when Ruben had crossed him while he was welcoming the guests, but he hadn't been close enough to make the kill. He positioned himself just a few steps away from the stage, then he waited. He knew his chance would come.Turning his head to the left, he saw two pairs arrive. There were a few more mating ceremonies scheduled that day. It was a common practice among packs to do all pending mating and turning ceremonies at the same time.He watched bored as the omega climbed on his human mate, then bit her neck. With the sound
