The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-Zero-Four: Tired
My legs feel as if they are laden with lead; I cannot bring myself to move towards the men.Each breath I take feels painful against my tightened chest, or perhaps it is the clog in my throat that makes it difficult to breathe, or maybe my body is shutting down, maybe it’s had enough, maybe-A wave of nausea washes over me before dizziness takes charge.What if it was a warning shot? What if-The men drag her limp body from the ground as if mocking my hopeful naivety.“Where are you going!”Vivian’s hand grips against mine, making me realise that I was unconsciously moving towards the scene.“If you go there, he will kill me.”Her panicked face makes me feel better, honestly.She has gotten what she wished for; I do not know if I can be with him—no, I know. I can't be with someone who resembles my father. I cannot be with someone who can harm another that I adore; I cannot be with someone who has the capacity to turn me into a monster because, for the life of me, I cannot quite figure
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-Zero-Five: Reset
Trigger Warning: Gore Dominic J. Lewis There was nothing that could be said about his fury, nothing about his worry and nothing about his guilt. "He still won't say anything to us, boss. He insists on speaking to you alone." His worker uttered as he walked into the abandoned building. Dominic’s clothes still reeked of the hospital and the blood from last night after holding Ruby, who was barely breathing by the time the doctors asked him to leave. He had held her before, but she had never felt smaller in his arms. Her body’s regeneration marvelled the doctors, but her skull warranted talks of irreversible brain damage with some comments of ‘but she has a good chance at survival’ as if they could soothe him; he wanted to know his mate in her perfection, not with half of her mind away. His hand gripped the bat he was offered at the door tighter before dragging it across the ground to where ‘Simon' sat, tied up, bleeding and semi-asleep. "And Vivian, have they found her yet?” Dom
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-Zero-Six: Any Better
Dominic J. LewisSimon's body fit in the black body bag with ease—with too much ease, given the amount of information he died holding. He shouldn’t have killed him before ‘Ian’ gave him Ruby’s dossier."Boss."He turned to his right-hand man, Ian and took the file offered titled 'Ruby Mallory Clive'.“Did you find anything new?”“No, unfortunately, all reports on her stopped after she married the Alpha of Dermot.”Dominic nearly tossed the folders against the man.“And is there anything on the Alpha?”“No. All reports were sealed after their marriage.”Sealed?An irritated sigh left his lips before he turned to Ian.“What does that mean? Are they royals?”“From what I can piece, no. they do not have ties to the throne, but they do have allies in high places.”Fuck.He groaned again; his mate was proving more dangerous by the minute.A person with her background would never accept him as he was; for him to get a chance to steal her fully from her Alpha, he needed to be an actual charmi
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-Zero-Seven: Lewis
The sun feels brilliant against my skin. Thank heavens for a break from that dull and mundane room. My mind drifts to the hunk who announced himself as my fiancé. Green eyes, tall, buff and chiselled with mussed dark brown hair, a scar and a dangerous aura—Katherine...you did it right. A smile crosses my lips as I imagine the kind of naughty and not-so-naughty things would get into to pass the time. The heat clawing up my skin makes me feel like giving myself to him, but even I know he might not be okay with me like this. I hate the guilt of disappointing him when I don’t recall the time we spent together and the moment we fell in love or, worse, some critical matters like what if he has allergies, and I almost kill him because I forgot them? Are those with amnesia permitted to date and get married without critical information? The nurse pushes the wheelchair toward the left path, and the sound of the water splashing from the fountain, coupled with the breeze carrying the scent of
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-Zero-Eight: Ocean
It's been a week since my discharge from the hospital. My house with Lewis is huge and unfamiliar with only two permanent staff, a maid who, it seems, was paid not to talk to me and a gardener; the rest come on demand. Among the things I adore about it is that it overlooks the ocean.I love the smell of the ocean, the salt and sand, the sulphates and heat...it reminds me of a home I am not certain that I can reach anymore.What is that feeling? A homesickness for a place one does not know.Funnily enough, sometimes I find myself hating the scent, the loudness of the waves, the tides that ruin our fence, the heavy storms the sea causes and the terrifying inky darkness that consumes it when the moon is not out.It is a weird love-hate relationship that leads me to spend most of my mornings gazing out the window because, despite how I feel about it, it’s there, it's stable, and it’s the only thing that feels real.My life doesn’t feel real.My wardrobe is filled with clothes that do not
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-Zero-Nine: Stalker
“Okay, okay, I won't call you that, but are you okay? You look as if you are in pain.”The man says as he moves with ease behind the counter.The words ‘employees’ only do not cross my lips because his proximity only adds to the pain. His large, cold hands arrest mine that claw at my hair before securing my wrists with one of his hands and resting his free hand on my cheek.The pain does not cease, but he feels good, yet...isn’t he too close to an engaged woman? Can he not see the ring on my finger?"Are you okay?"He asks again.My push from him doesn't amount to much; he is far stronger than I am.His cologne smells deathly familiar, I hate that it adds to my throbbing headache; I hate even more that it elicits a certain melancholic feel.Another ring sounds from the bell above the door before the scent of honey floods the room, lulling my headache away."Did I miss something?"Lewis’s voice fills the room, earning my instant attention."Lewis."I call as I detach myself from the co
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-One-Zero: Mr Lewis
Dominic J LewisDominic slammed his hands against his steering wheel before a groan left his lips.Everything felt fucked.His gaze glowered at his hands that shook against the wheel; he never felt fear so potently that his body trembled. At least he had never felt that way until he met ‘Ruby’. Since she came into his life, every event served as a reminder that he was but a frog in a well.How? How could he fear another wolf this badly?It wasn’t normal; there was something off about her husband.‘I can recognise my wife better than you can recognise your opponent.’The words played into his head once more, shuddering him.Why was it that when her husband spoke those words to him, he felt as if he were submerged and suffocating in deep and inky oceanic waters that no matter how much he struggled, no sound left him?Alphas were not supposed to have such abysmal powers; he never felt that way, even when Vivian’s father threatened to kill him. ‘…unlike you, I don’t need to reek of gunpo
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-One-One: Conspiracy
What did she just say...?Am I having a stroke? Did the maid before me threaten me?“Christina, what is my position here?”I ask as I near her.“You are the fiancé of Mr Lewis.”“Did you threaten me with a courthouse wedding when I do not even wish to marry at all?”“You will get married, Madam; I only wish to make it easier for you.”My mouth hangs open—this is the same as speaking to a wall, only unlike Lewis, she leaves no impression of doubt.I want to fire her, but do I even have the power to do so? No, even if I fire her, wouldn’t she say something along the lines of ‘only Mr Lewis’ can fire me?Am I really going to be one of the women who depend entirely on their partners for power within the household?"Madam?"The maid calls when I turn away from her and head to the door.It's late, I know. To add to that, I don’t have any cash on me, and I would prefer not to use the driver ‘Mr Lewis’ assigned to me, so a long walk with no destination it is."Ma'am!"The maid calls again whe
