Ruby’s POV My head hurts!I open my eyes slowly and look around, my whole body hurts. Where am I? I’m in a really dark room, even with the lights on. The room is still so dull. “Where am I?” I push my body so hard past the pain just to get myself up. I must be dreaming, I've never been in such a room before. That's when all the occurrences come rushing back to me, I was feeling so weird, my head was on fire and so was my stomach. My breathing was so hard, I thought I was dying. But then after that my mind goes blank. I look around the room and there is nothing familiar to my eyes, there is nothing to show that a person resides here either. There isn't a wardrobe or anything welcoming in the room, it's just the bed in the middle of the room, and the small window near the ceiling, this room is practically a cell. And its walls are painted all black, even the duvet which was covering me is black. It's so unusual. I hear footsteps approaching, I get back on the bed and pretend to s
Ruby’s POV“Where are you taking me?” I ask when I notice that we are going towards the dungeons.“To see Owen, of course.” He answers. His tone has already changed, it’s more dangerous now. I keep quiet and pray that he truly takes me to him. The guards open several doors for us before we get to the last cell, which has concrete walls instead. Two guards are stationed outside it, who bow the moment they see us.“Your majesty!” They say in unison.“Open the door.” Möbius commands. The doors are heavy that both guards, open it together. Is he going to lock me in here? I hope not because if he does, then I’m sure I will die here. No one will ever know that I am here. “Here you go, beautiful.” He extends his hand towards the door.“You want me to get in there?” I ask, not being able to hide my fear. “Please don’t make me go in there.” I beg. I am sure my eyes are so wide now, and my whole body is shaking.“Come.” He takes my hand and pulls me towards the cell. I’m about to protest whe
Ruby’s POV“I want to go home right this instant.” I run towards Möbius, who is almost at the main palace. His strides are too wide that I have to run to catch up with him.“I'm sorry, it's not possible.” He says, not even looking at me. My feet are killing me, I have been walking in heels for quite a while now. I have never seen such an arrogant man. He climbs the stairs at the entrance and I follow suit. “You are just delusional Möbius, what’s makes you think I will love you? You are just a monster, and I would rather die than entertain you.” I say in anger, he stops and turns to look at me, I see a hurt expression which is replaced by something else almost immediately. “I want to go home.” I repeat.“And I said you can't go home.” He says sternly.“I can't stay here with you, I can't, I want to go home.” I break down, falling on my knees, why is my life like this. Why this I have to get a mate if all I could get was pain. I had so many plans with my life, I wanted to achieve so
Möbius’ POV“We are here gorgeous.” I say when we get to her room, reluctantly placing her down. She felt so warm in my arms, all I could focus on the whole time was her soft breathing. I could feel how tired she was, and I could sense the pain in her legs. I could also feel the gratitude radiating from her aura. She is such a special and honest woman, she can't even hide her feelings. What she shows is what she truly feels. Too bad she became human after the unmerge. And I'm sure she isn't safe here, but I'll do all I can to keep her safe. She is the only woman who awoke the beast in me after so many years. I had this room specially cleaned, furnished and organized just for her. I bought a new bed, beddings, a wardrobe and stashed it with the clothes that would suit her. I went all out to make her comfortable and feel at home. I prepared for so long to have her here, I could sneak into her room and peek on the things she uses like her makeup, soap, and skincare routine product
Ruby’s POV Wait a minute, how did I get dressed? It's already morning, I find myself dressed in a long blue dress, low-heeled shoes, and my hair is straightened and tied behind. I don’t remember doing this by myself, what’s happening. I can’t remember anything, I only remember when Möbius got out of the room, the rest is just a blank.A knock at the door brings me to my sense, I open the door.“You are ready, you look remarkable.” Möbius stands at the door looking so dashing and for a moment, I forget my worry.“I guess so, where are we going again.” I ask. My whole being knows that I must accompany him. “To a meeting, but first I will take you down for breakfast. The meeting doesn’t start until nine, so we have like two hours or so.” He says, smiling. Something seems so wrong, but I can’t wrap my head around it. “Shall we.” He extends his arm and I take it willingly.“How are your legs, are you feeling any better?” he makes small talk as we descend the stairs. “I’m much better
Ruby’s POVThe illusion works, all the guards at the dungeon gates let me pass unquestionably, and I finally get to Owen's cell.“Take him out.” I order the two huge guards at the door.“Yes, your majesty.” They bow and open the cell. They remove his shackles and bring him to me. I stay outside the cell not to arise any suspicion. “Where is she you bastard, did you do anything to her?” He pounces on me the moment he gets out. Even with being locked up, he is so strong, he knocks me to town and topples over me. He grabs my neck and starts squeezing me so hard, I can't breathe, I also can't let go of the wand because my identity will be revealed in front of all these guards. Thankfully, the guards pull him off me, because I almost started chocking.“Let him be!” I say when they try to hurt him. I can't take it, he looks so emaciated and tired. I want to run into his arms and comfort him, but I have to get a hold of myself. “Let him have his laugh, where he is going is far, much wor
Owen’s POV What do I do now? How do I hide Ruby from my father? All I know is that I can't let anything bad happen to my mate, it took so much to have her with me, and I'm not going to let go of her easily. I will fight until my last breath for her, and this is my promise. I have to take her back home, I know how much she misses her family. All I want is to make her happy. “Where do we go from here?” She asks, clinging to my hand tightly. I stop in my tracks to assure her, I don't want her to worry about a thing, I will do all the worrying. “Baby.” I mutter looking at her closely, I feel her heart beating so loudly. “I'm here with you and won't let anything happen to you.” I say, but she doesn't look convinced. “That's not what I'm worried about Owen, I'm just so afraid that you might abandon me like you did all in the name of saving me.” She purrs, pain written all over her beautiful face. I only did that to save her life, but it doesn't justify my behavior, I literally gave her
Owens POVI open my eyes to the most beautiful sight, Ruby's head placed carefully on my chest as she breathes softly. Her beautiful face looks so peaceful as she sleeps. I don’t know how long I have been sleeping, but I feel so refreshed, my energy is replenished and I can feel my powers are as stronger as ever. I tap Ruby’s back slowly, I know she must be tired but I want to look into her eyes. I want to hear her voice and see her smile. my heart really craves her. she opens her eyes almost immediately, she still looks so tired though. “Hey you are awake, how are you feeling now.” feeling my forehead.“I feel much better now thanks to you.” I say, kissing her knuckles. I feel so h***y when I notice her wearing my T-shirt, it’s something that I’ve always wanted. “What?” she asks blushing, I just raise my brows.“Why are you looking at me like that.” She adds blushing even more. I don’t answer her, I just pull her towards me, and she lands on my chest. “Stop.” She says trying t
