Chapter 122
Ruby's POV
The morning sunlight streamed through the window of my room, casting a warm glow on the elegant furnishings. I was seated on a chair in front of a large mirror, where a maid was meticulously fixing my hair. Her nimble fingers worked with precision, weaving identical patterns into my hair.
The maid, a young woman with kind eyes, gently touched my shoulder. "Are you alright, Lady Ruby?"
I let out a soft sigh, my gaze fixed on the mirror. "I'm just nervous, that's all. The competition is starting soon, and I have to be ready to be presented to the contestants."
Outside, the sounds of preparation and excitement for the competition were growing louder. The day had finally arrived, and the weight of my choices and the destiny of our packs were on my shoulders.
The maid, sensing my anxiety, asked softly, "Do you have a preference, Lady Ruby? Between Alpha Ralph and Alpha Gonzalo, I mean."
I pause

As we continued our conversation, his persistent probing stirred an unexpected frustration within me."Vincent, please stop," I finally said, unable to contain my irritation any longer. "I'm trying to keep my feelings and thoughts in check.

I didn't mean to upset you."I nodded, appreciating his apology. "It's okay, Vincent. I know you mean well, but this is already complicated."Seeing the exhaustion on my face, Vincent offered to leave me alone. "If you need some space, I understand.

"Which one?" she asked, leaning in, eager for the inside scoop.I smiled, but my reply was playful and evasive. "I can't tell you, Mom. It'll ruin the fun."Deep down, I was weary of the constant questioning about my preference. I had become tired of it. It was a complex matter, and I didn't want to give anyone the satisfaction of knowing my choice just yet.

I was both physically and emotionally drained, and the weight of my responsibilities as a Luna had never been more apparent. My thoughts drifted back to a recent conversation I had with Gonzalo, a conversation that now held even more significance.It was just a few days ago when Gonzalo and I had a private moment to discuss the troubling situation with Teresa and my father, Drako. It was an unsettling conversation that had left us both on edge.Gonzalo's eyes bore the weight of the concern he felt as he spoke. "Ruby, Teresa and her father going missing is a grave concern. It leaves my packs exposed and unsafe.

Ruby's POVElsa sighed, the weight of her past and the complex web of emotions settling upon her. She looked at me, searching for the right words. "Drako was a master of manipulation from the very beginning. He always loved power, Ruby. It was like an insatiable hunger that consumed him."As she spoke, I could sense the pain and regret in her voice. Elsa continued, her words laced with a hint of sorrow. "When I first met Drako, he was charming, charismatic, and incredibly persuasive. He had a way of making people believe in his vision and follow him blindly."She paused, collecting her thoughts, and I waited patiently, realizing that this conversation was as difficult for her as it was for me.

I've seen him grow from a young, determined alpha into a man who shoulders the weight of his responsibilities with grace and strength."As Elsa spoke, she painted a vivid picture of Gonzalo's childhood and the challenges he faced.

Even before I returned to your father's pack, Gonzalo displayed leadership qualities that set him apart."I listened intently, absorbing the details of Gonzalo's past. However, there was something gnawing at me, a truth I needed to share. "Mother, are you aware that Gonzalo was manipulated into thinking that Teresa was his true mate?
