Ruby’s POVThe illusion works, all the guards at the dungeon gates let me pass unquestionably, and I finally get to Owen's cell.“Take him out.” I order the two huge guards at the door.“Yes, your majesty.” They bow and open the cell. They remove his shackles and bring him to me. I stay outside the cell not to arise any suspicion. “Where is she you bastard, did you do anything to her?” He pounces on me the moment he gets out. Even with being locked up, he is so strong, he knocks me to town and topples over me. He grabs my neck and starts squeezing me so hard, I can't breathe, I also can't let go of the wand because my identity will be revealed in front of all these guards. Thankfully, the guards pull him off me, because I almost started chocking.“Let him be!” I say when they try to hurt him. I can't take it, he looks so emaciated and tired. I want to run into his arms and comfort him, but I have to get a hold of myself. “Let him have his laugh, where he is going is far, much wor
Owen’s POV What do I do now? How do I hide Ruby from my father? All I know is that I can't let anything bad happen to my mate, it took so much to have her with me, and I'm not going to let go of her easily. I will fight until my last breath for her, and this is my promise. I have to take her back home, I know how much she misses her family. All I want is to make her happy. “Where do we go from here?” She asks, clinging to my hand tightly. I stop in my tracks to assure her, I don't want her to worry about a thing, I will do all the worrying. “Baby.” I mutter looking at her closely, I feel her heart beating so loudly. “I'm here with you and won't let anything happen to you.” I say, but she doesn't look convinced. “That's not what I'm worried about Owen, I'm just so afraid that you might abandon me like you did all in the name of saving me.” She purrs, pain written all over her beautiful face. I only did that to save her life, but it doesn't justify my behavior, I literally gave her
Owens POVI open my eyes to the most beautiful sight, Ruby's head placed carefully on my chest as she breathes softly. Her beautiful face looks so peaceful as she sleeps. I don’t know how long I have been sleeping, but I feel so refreshed, my energy is replenished and I can feel my powers are as stronger as ever. I tap Ruby’s back slowly, I know she must be tired but I want to look into her eyes. I want to hear her voice and see her smile. my heart really craves her. she opens her eyes almost immediately, she still looks so tired though. “Hey you are awake, how are you feeling now.” feeling my forehead.“I feel much better now thanks to you.” I say, kissing her knuckles. I feel so h***y when I notice her wearing my T-shirt, it’s something that I’ve always wanted. “What?” she asks blushing, I just raise my brows.“Why are you looking at me like that.” She adds blushing even more. I don’t answer her, I just pull her towards me, and she lands on my chest. “Stop.” She says trying t
Ruby’s POVWhat's with my life, was I cursed. I let my tears floor as I sleep facing the roof. I don't even know where I am, but by the aura I'm still in the underworld. I never knew meeting my mate will bring all these misfortunes in my life. I've always had a happy life, I could go to party's, go to school without having to worry about anything. But when my three unexpected mates came into my life, everything changed. I once had goals and dreams but I don't even seem to remember what kind of dreams I had. Oh! goddess why did I have to be punished this way? You even took my Roxane, the only companion I had that would never have left me. Is it because of my sisters, is it because I lived instead of them. Approaching footsteps bring me back to my reality? I need to get out of this place, I can't just rely on Owen, or Möbius. I am Ruby, I was unbeatable, I don't even know where I let go of myself. But how, I'm weak, I have no strength, it's like something outward was done to me. “H
Owen’s POV. I look around the palace, but I don't find her, neither is Möbius around. Where could he have taken her, as time passes my hope diminishes, I know father pretty well, he will kill her? What will I do when that happens? I teleport into all the rooms searching, but I don't find them. That's when a thought crosses my mind, I remember we used to go to the red lake house when we were younger, father brought us there in some few occasions. Its been years but I'm sure the house is being maintained. They definitely must be there. I don't waste any time, I teleport there. “Please don't Levine, let me go.” I hear Ruby's voice the moment I land at the back of the house. I breathe a sigh of relief, she is alive. I'm going to save her. I cautiously follow her voice, dodging the guards outside the house. I finally see her being dragged by two men, my father is leading the way. This will certainly be my chance, fighting the men won't be hard, and I will grab her and teleport. I'm su
Owen’s POV“Are you alright Ruby?” I ask when I realize that her eyes are still closed even after going over the portal. He grip on me still so tight. “Ruby?” I call again when she remains in the same position.“Are we still down there baby.” I can feel her fear as she asks.“Open your eyes, my love and see.” She slowly opens her eyes, and they grow wider as she opens them.“Oh my God.” She screams, getting out of my arms. “I can’t believe this.” Her lips curve into a beautiful smile and her eyes light up. “I’m home!! I'm really back home.”“Yes baby you are.” I can’t even explain my happiness, this is all I wanted. Here the reigns of my father don’t have any power. He can only rule in the underworld, so here my Ruby is safe from him.She runs downstairs giggling like a little girl, I follow her slowly behind. My heart is just overwhelmed by happiness. I really thank Möbius for what he did for us.“OMG it's Ruby.” one of her sisters says. I guess it’s Rashel, she has more of Ruby’s
Ruby’s POVI haven’t seen Owen since morning, since he left last night he hasn’t even contacted me. I wonder what wrong I did for him to treat me like that. I thought after escaping the underworld, my life will be a little bit happier, but I guess I was wrong.But he should be here with me right now, he is the only person here who knows what I went through, I really need him by my side. “Ruby you haven’t been yourself since morning my darling, are you alright?” my mother asks sitting next to me on the porch. The little porch has a table, and a three seater couch, we always had our lunch here whenever mom and I were at home. I don't even remember when I sat here, my life has been chaos after chaos. “I’m okay mother, don’t worry.” I say, what am I even going to tell her, when I don’t even know what’s going on myself. Relationships have so much drama. “I don’t know why Ruby, but I feel you are so distant from me my darling.” She takes my hand in hers. “Please forgive me Ruby, I know
Ruby “Owen... Owen... Owen, please answer me.” I feel so miserable, why did he have to go away, where am I even going to look for him? I don't even know the way to the underworld. Did he go there by any chance? I wish I had away to communicate with him. I miss him like crazy. I turn up early, but all I can do is toss and turn. My heart is not at peace, my spirit, on the other hand, is in shambles. All I want Is to see Owen, I want to be in his arms so badly that my heart aches. I want to ask him why he abandoned me. What if he is in some danger? I wish I had my wolf with me, I could have gone out for a run, and just clear my mind. Oh wait, there is a gym close by, maybe I should go there. I take out my gym clothes, my favorite pink tights and sports bra, I grab my white sports boots a jacket because I feel so cold ever since I lost Roxanne. I make sure my jacket has a pocket with a zipper for my phone. I pick my ear pods and jump through the window, I don't want to wake
