The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Eighty-Four: Normally
Adrian M. Knox The pounding of his head came as an unwelcome surprise as soon as his eyes creaked open to take in the brightness of the room; even worse, a maid stood before him with the hotel's manager, and his erection still stood rock hard. Well, at least he was covered with a blanket. He should celebrate that, at the very least, but the pounding in his head seemed to bleed to his chest because a tightness he couldn’t explain gripped him. "Alpha." The manager called with a concerned look on his face. “I have called for a locksmith-” "Check if the keys are in the drawer." He interrupted, trying his best to ignore the sensations in his body. "There is no key in the drawer, Alpha. We have checked." "Check again!" He yelled, and the startled maid moved to the drawer that was lying on its side thanks to yesterday's tussle. She opened it wide just to show him how empty the drawer was before both she and the manager turned to Ruby’s clothes on the floor; she had forgotten them i
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Eighty-Five: Guess
When the prolonged silence stretched beyond two heartbeats, the queen cocked her head to the side and spoke."Is it the mark?”He frowned at her question, hating that she knew too much, hating that he was out of the loop yet again.“Is that why you are searching for her? Because she marked you?”He said nothing to her question, merely rolled his eyes."That’s the reason, isn’t it? Well, isn’t that simple to resolve?”She responded with a slight mocking laugh as she crossed her hands over her chest.“The Alpha needn’t worry about the mark. It will be gone in a month, so my advice, my sincerest advice, is ‘wait’. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?""Where is my wife, Your Majesty? ""Ex-wife. You have no wife, but you do have a mate. So, I suggest you try and build on that lest you burn all your bridges in one day."“I want to see my wife!”His hand reached beneath the coffee table, flipping it over with such force that it flew to the wall and broke as he stood to surpa
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Eighty-Six: So What?
Trigger Warning: Suicidal Ideation & Attempts Adrian M. Knox Guess? What could he guess other than..oh... "M- my attention?" He blurted; something in her tone demanded a guilt he did not want to bear. Her brows lifted before a chuckle escaped her. "Attention? Your attention? She…a woman who has just lost a piece of her, wanted the attention of a man who walked in her hospital room with another woman's lip gloss on his lips?" She mocked. “I- don’t. I don’t know what you want me to say.” “Your wife, huh?” She mocked, and again, his eyes left hers; something about the gold in her gaze was eerily unsettling. "Night one, she was spotted by my security team roaming the halls, pointlessly with blood dripping down from between her legs. On night two, a scalpel went missing. Night three, the day before she was to be released, she slit her wrists. I found her covered in blood. I did, and I held her down with the nurses as they sedated her, but the kicker was she wasn’t even awake, so
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Eighty-Seven: Anyone But
Adrian M. Knox“You…marked Ruby?”He nodded to Elaine’s repeated question."No."She uttered as she shook her head from side to side.The Adrian I know, my Adrian, my mate, wouldn't mark another woman while I am lying unconscious.”"Elaine-""No! Don’t lie to me, I can tell when you are about to lie. Tell me what happened. I can’t hate you! I won’t, so just be honest with me, okay?”“Elaine!”He called more firmly, but she did not let him speak.“You are my mate; you are supposed to be with me! To choose me, so no! I won't let you tell me that you marked her; it can’t be true, it-"Again, her body spasmed as if she were seconds from convulsing."Doc- Doctor!"He called.In his head, he had yelled the words, but in reality, his words were barely a whisper, and when no one stormed into the room to aid him, he rushed to her bed, where the emergency button rested above her headrest. He almost pressed the button, but her hand covered it.“I'm fine! Muaas, I'm fine. I just…needed a minute.”
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Eighty-Eight: Never
Adrian M Knox"How is she?”He asked as he closed the door to the hospital’s roof garden.Leon liked it there; he liked all things peaceful and ‘crisp’, the perfect definition of a man who would say their ideal first date would be a walk in a park. He was a romantic, a threat to him when it came to Ruby because he could treat her with a gentleness he couldn’t muster.He was leaning over the railing, completely disregarding the wooden bench decorated with bamboo on both sides."Normal, good. Is there a reason she can't smell you?"Leon responded, and he stiffened.Adrian wasn’t much of a smoker, but that question made him want to press one of Ruby’s drugs of choice between his fingers and inhale so that, for at least one second, he could feel how she does when she runs away through the smoke.That is how she copes—coped. Cigarettes, right?Was she smoking now—where she had run away to?She was…afraid of him; she was crying as he fell asleep.“Weird.”He muttered, but again, Leon did no
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Eighty-Nine: Chai
Adrian admitted honestly. He did not trust him—anyone with Ruby.“I have messed up too much for you not to seem perfect in her eyes. Everything about you screams homely and understanding and...everything I seem to fall short of with her. I really messed up."Adrian confessed."Yeah, you did. I didn't raise you like this."He scoffed at his best friend's lack of empathy and choice of words, and just as they were about to hug it out, the door to the roof flew open.Leon stiffened and bowed, and before he could do the same, the Lycan, whose frame oozed a fury that felt palpable, approached him with his fist balled.It took only a second for it to connect with his jaw painfully until he tasted iron on his tongue. "You do not threaten my wife."It was a command; every inch of him understood that. He held the same ability but to a smaller degree."Understood, Your Majesty."Adrian answered as his fingers caressed his jaw to check if anything was out of place.Just some blood from his buste
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Ninety: Used Panties
Adrian M. Knox This was the third time during the week that he found himself back in the hotel room—her hotel room, to be specific.She cleared out her room in the manor, leaving only the clothes he bought her—they were not a lot, merely two or three tailored dresses and the flowers she bought with Leon.It was almost as if no one but him existed in that space because not even a stray hair, a spare toothbrush or even a hairbrush remained. He couldn’t tell if she was meticulous or his staff spared him having to collect her items to build a nest with them.Oh, right, she did leave a few things in her room, her shelf that they had refurbished to stock with parenting and childcare books. There were so many...no, too many for one to say she was not prepared or excited for motherhood.Yet another thing that eluded him in the fog surrounding Elaine.Had he given in to her need to discuss their future with Elaine as his mate, would things have been different?He could lie and argue that they
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter Ninety-One: Incentive
Elaine Lenard BrockettHer bags were packed, her bed made, and her make-up on.Had she borrowed the supplies that Muaas offered despite them being Ruby’s shade, yes. She could have refused and stood strong in her individuality, but there was something about beating Ruby at her game that appealed to her.Similar to when Adrian couldn’t stop staring at her when she wore Ruby’s gown. It was evident that he liked the piece on her, so perhaps this time, it will work in her favour again.A sigh escaped her.All this, the make-up and packing, was done over an hour ago, so what the hell was taking Muaas so long? Leon said that he would convince him to come, so why had an hour passed on his watch?An unfamiliar nurse, male and clearly too big for his uniform, stood by the door and knocked."Can I help you?"She asked the nurse, trying her best to keep her irritation at bay."I have been asked to escort you to the car."Her heart fluttered."By the Alpha, right? Why didn't he come to escort me
