The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-One-Six: Angel
"How? How do you intend to bring back the dead?" The Alpha asks as he paces the room; this contemplation on the subject is clear. If I tell him, will he kill me now to get him sooner? "Once you mark me, I will tell you, and once I do, please trust me. Don’t betray me; if you do, our deal is off.” "Ruby, I won't betray you. You don’t even need to ask that of me." "Yes, well, even our marriage vows were said with the same mouth, so forgive me if I feel the need to request the obvious.” I groan inwardly at my catty behaviour. This isn’t the time. "I didn't sleep with Elaine." "Well, you should have. I slept with my mate. It was fun; the hormones make it hard to tell if they are good at it or not." Adrian’s expression hardens before a smile that doesn't quite meet his gaze touches his lips. "Is now okay?" "You want to mark me now? I have stitches in my abdomen, and I hear a heat follows a marking?" "Then when?” “Before we leave. Am I to take that question as you accepting my
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-One-Seven: Full Sentences
My body feels heavy, too heavy, considering I fell asleep mere moments ago.Still, how did Dominic get in here?There is so much security around me, and what did he do to make me this…drowsy.It feels as if I am stuck in a lucid dream; no matter how much I fight for release, nothing budges; not even my fingers feel as if they are under my command."You know..."Dominic's voice drawls: I know I should feel terrified, but there is something about him that makes my stomach flutter to the point of cancelling my nerves. I can't help but adore his wickedness, even if I am its victim."It's hard to see you these days, Angel. I want to call you ‘Katie’, but my men have told me enough to know you don’t identify with that name anymore, but you will always be my angel.”Fuck, it was a mistake to hire anyone from here, no matter how short-staffed we were.The mattress beside me sinks under the weight of his body; if I turn my head, I know I will feel him, yet what happens after I feel him? The sa
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-One-Eight: Unhardened
Adrian M Knox She didn't remember. The realisation hit him so suddenly that he felt dizzy. How could she not remember when the memory of carrying her helplessly remained vivid in his body? He could still taste the salt in his mouth from the tears he shed as he felt her body growing colder and colder in his arms, so how couldn’t she remember? Was this it? Was this her grand plan to bring back Jace, to make him go through that again? “Are you…crying?” Ruby asked, the crimson in her eyes glimmering with concern. She pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket and moved to dab the cloth on his face to soak the tears, but he grabbed her wrist, stilling her. Was this retribution for the way he treated her? Was this it? “You are too cruel to me, Ruby.” The words came from his lips before he could ease his thoughts. “What?” She asked, as more confusion flooded her expression. He should not have left after their conversation on Jace; if he had stayed at least five more minutes, the

"What do you mean he brought back up?"Adrian asks as he paces outside the lounge section on the private plane.A private plane! Lewis is rich, but I don’t think he is ‘private plane with country flags’ rich!—I mean, isn’t that the Ketrian flag on the cars outside and on the plane?"I see...okay, and have you gotten in touch with this ‘Vivian’? You have! Good, work with them. I want this fuckers head on a pike."He continues, the tone in his voice growing more bitter by the word.I don't know if I am making the right choice by leaving everything behind, but...I genuinely want to prolong the wedding until I have my memories back.Yet this simply feels like an ‘out of the frying pan situation’.The cabin door slides open, and Adrian walks back in. He is so large that the room feels smaller at his mere presence.I love his cologne.My gaze shifts out of the window to focus on something other than the feelings bubbling within me and to hide the fact that I was eavesdropping, but the inten

Adrian M. Knox.There it was again...that word, 'Alpha'. He had once again managed to convince her, as a clean slate, to call him in that way. Christ, was there ever a time when he detested his title like now?"Ru-Ruby, wait!"He called as he arrested her wrist forcefully to pin her in his arms."Let go!""Let me explain."His voice sounded desperate, but he wasn’t asking.“You truly do not have to.”She dismissed.“No, I do, please.”He whispered in her ear, and her body shuddered against his.“Let me explain.”His words came off sultrier than they should. He hadn’t had much of a sex drive for the past month—since the hotel incident, but he could easily envision pinning her to the wall and spreading her apart for his pleasure.He could envision pouring himself into her to erase all traces of the scum she said she was with. He wasn’t within his right to feel jealous, but his wolf growl seemed to come through despite his stifled anger at the memory of her words."Explain what, exactly?
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-Two-One: Warmth
"Who is Elaine?"The question slips from me once the two are done briefing each other, and the ride proceeds.It was whispered, but due to the silence inside the car, he still heard me."Elaine is my mate.""Oh...will I meet her?""I was hoping not, but it seems she is still in town. She is waiting for the university intake.”"Oh, she is quite young then. Uh, you must be proud of her. Most wolves aren't gifted academically."He chuckles."I was.""Was?""She betrayed my trust."Silence hangs in the air after his soft words. I want to ask more, but truthfully, it feels as if it is none of my business.An argument between mates is known to bite the interferers in the ass, so I should stay out of it.I should, but…"Am I her replacement? Is that why you came to Chrysalis? Because she betrayed you? Am I supposed to make her jealous or remorseful enough to redeem her in your eyes?"Shit, I shouldn't have asked that."No."His answer is quick, too quick for any relief to find me.“Alr- ”"B
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-Two-Two: …sharing?
"The snow is starting to pick, Adrian. Do you think it's such a good idea to head into town like this?" "Don’t ask me that; say that you are worried about my driving skills." He responds cavalierly as again the car swerves slightly on the icy road. "You keep losing control of the wheels!" "There was a stray bunny the first two times!” He defends loudly—is it possible for him to be a bike expert but poor at driving? "We have a perfect driver at home. The man we came with." He doesn't respond to my reply; merely smiles. “What are you smiling at?” “You said ‘at home’.” I almost roll my eyes; did I never use the phrase before? Again, I turn my gaze outside to the snow-covered trees that we drive past. Anything feels safer than staring at the road as he drives the truck poorly—it makes it worse that the snow falling doesn’t seem to lessen in intensity. "Do I have any friends?" I ask as I contemplate turning on the radio. "You do, unfortunately." "Unfortunately?" I question.

"Is there a furnace in the room? If there is one, I can take the couch."I offer to her question on sharing, but Adrian shakes his head adamantly."I'll sleep on the couch; you take the bed."He offers."Sweet of you, shy lovers, to assume that there is a loveseat in the room. We traded them in for single sofas just last week.""Fuck...."Both of them turn to face me and my potty mouth."I...meant that in my head, not... sorry."I mumble the apology when all else fails."We’ll figure ourselves out."Adrian utters as he takes the offered keys and places his hand all too naturally on my waist to guide me."Dinner is at six. Do you prefer room service or dining with the rest of the guests?""We’ll dine with everyone.""Lovely, you can dial the front desk to change at any time. Don’t forget to bring your clothes to the front desk for laundry. You should get them by the door tomorrow."“Right. Do you offer any sweatpants?”I ask, recalling that neither of us had a change of clothes.“Yes.”
