Ruby's POV  Vincent helped me up, his support grounding me. "We need to figure out what's going on," he said, his concern evident in his voice.I nodded, still trying to catch my breath. "I really don't know what's going on."Max, frustration etched across his face, turned his attention to me. "How did he get into your room?"I sighed, feeling a dull ache in my neck from the encounter. "I don't know. It was like he appeared out of thin air."Vincent, ever the problem solver, spoke up. "We should search the area around your room. There might be clues."I nodded in agreement, grateful for their presence in this unsettling situation. "There's nothing here Max" I said sternly, almost getting annoyed for his lack of empathy. He ignored me and began to search the area around my room meticulously. Every corner, every window, looking for any signs of intrusion. But there was nothing

  Ruby's POV Alpha Michael, looked down at me with a gentle smile and pressed a loving kiss to my forehead. "You should rest, Ruby," he said softly.I nodded, appreciating his concern and his unwavering support. We walked together out of my room and through the hallways of the pack house. The familiar surroundings offered a sense of comfort, a feeling of belonging that was more than just a physical space.As we approached his room, Alpha Michael paused and turned to me. "I'll be in my room if you need anything. Don't hesitate to come to me if you want to talk."I offered him a small smile, grateful for the offer. "Thank you, Dad. I'll be fine."He entered his room, and I was left standing in the hallway, contemplating the events of the night. It had been a rollercoaster of emotions, and as much as I appreciated my father's support, I couldn't shake off the unease that lingered within me.My thoughts we

  Ruby's POVMorning light filtered through my window, rousing me from a restless sleep. I glanced at the clock on my bedside table, it was still just 3 AM. Sleep seemed like it wasn't coming, and my mind was consumed with thoughts of Ethan and the mysteries that surrounded him.I knew that going to see him, to confront him, was risky. It was an idea that had taken root in the depths of my mind, a nagging urge I couldn't ignore. If there was a chance to uncover the truth, to understand how and why he had changed, I had to take it.Careful not to wake anyone, I slipped out of bed and tiptoed to the bathroom. The cold water splashed on my face was a shock to my system, but it helped to clear my thoughts. I quickly changed into warmer clothes, knowing that the early hours of the morning would be chilly.With determination burning within me, I quietly left my room and ventured outside. The air was crisp and carried the scent of pine

  Ruby's POV With Vincent's support, I managed to stand up, though I was still shaken from the nightmare of an encounter with Ethan. As I approached the cell, I could see him lying unconscious on the cold, unforgiving floor. A trickle of blood stained his forehead, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of concern, despite everything that had transpired.My focus then shifted to the entrance of the dungeon, where Max was engaged in a heated conversation with the guards. His voice was a thunderous roar, and his anger was palpable. The guards stood with bowed heads, accepting the reprimand with a sense of defeat. It was clear that Max had lost all patience with them.As I drew nearer, I could hear Max's stern words, each syllable laced with frustration and disappointment. "Do you realize the gravity of your incompetence? Allowing Ruby access to a dangerous situation with no protection? You've endangered her life."The gu

 Gonzalo's POV  We sped toward the dungeon, my mind racing with the troubling revelation of Drako's escape. Lucas sat in the passenger seat, his nervousness palpable. I had to make some crucial decisions quickly to prevent any further chaos within the pack."Lucas," I finally spoke, my tone resolute, "once we get to the dungeon, I need you to send a group of pack members to my cabin. They need to keep an eye on Teresa."Lucas turned to me, his brow furrowed in confusion. "Why, Alpha?" he inquired, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.I clenched my jaw, trying to contain my frustration. "I'll deal with the 'why' later," I stated firmly, my tone leaving no room for further discussion. "Just do as I ask."Lucas nodded and pulled out his phone to make the necessary calls. I could see the puzzled look on his face, but he understood that now wasn't the time for questions. Our priority was to find Drako and contain t
