“What do you want?!” Alaric says, voice strained.

Ruby’s POV
I need a fucking break.
Cara’s surgery took longer than expected. Way longer.
If I would’ve known… I never could’ve predicted…
“I never should have helped her with that stupid plan. The stupid plan that almost got her
killed.
The chief of surgery barely let me participate.
“It’s a conflict of interest, Ruby,” he had said to me when I tried to take part in the operation. “You can’t think straight, you have too close of a relationship to the patient to
be rational.‘
I knew he was probably right, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t going to try. So I tucked myself in the back of the surgical suite to watch. Right next to another observer.
Richard Auburn.
“What are you doing here?” I asked him angrily.
And he is Lilia’s brother, and that’s enough reason for me not to trust him. I wanted to punch him right then and there, but I didn’t want to miss Cara’s surgery. I couldn’t leave
her like this…
“Come to sabotage the surgery?! Kill her once and for all! You fucking Auburns disgust me!” I let him have it.
Every ounce of helpless and frustration that I felt from having to watch my best friend this close to death, I unleashed it on Richard.
“…I, I’m sorry.” Richard said remorsefully, eyes not leaving Cara’s body on the operating table, “And, and, I have a news to tell you.”
hat news?!” I asked.
The tale he told left my head spinning. Cara was the long lost BloodyMoon princess?! Lilia was a bastard child with the nanny?!
So, I took deep breaths, I tried visualizing happy thoughts, I did everything I could think of to keep myself calm.

Cara’s injuries were bad. Not fatal, she would live, thank goodness. But it would be a long
road to recovery.
I don’t know what will happen when Cara wakes from her coma, but I do know one thing I’ll be by her side through it all.
I waited nervously at the hospital, the silence so heavy it was almost suffocating. Until I hear a deep male voice say behind me.
“And you promise to agree?”
The tallest red–head says. That must be Eamon, the Alpha King of BloodyMoon.
“…I said ‘NO‘! Eamon, she’s my fate mate!”
“Not fate mate, Just ex–mate.” Eamon said coldly.
“But the child her miscarried is mine!”
That voice is Alaric. A very upset Alaric.
I see Alaric standing next to the entrance doors with a group of men, red–headed men. Must be the rest of the Auburns.
It looks like a heated exchange.
The whole pack is aware that our Alpha King Alaric is wise and calm; we’ve never witnessed him in such a state of intense turmoil.
I turn my head, trying to be discreet. I have a feeling that if they see me eavesdropping, I’ll miss my chance to hear more.
The air returns to silence.
Eamon firmly intervenes, stopping Alaric, “You should know better, seeing you will only break her heart.”
“…I, I just want to make sure she’s still alive……..“Alaric said tremulously.
A suffocating silence.
After a silence, Alaric said painfully, “…Alright, I agree.”
“Tell me. Repeat it back to me, then you can go.”
…In the name of Alpha King of Darkwood Pack, I consent to Cara’s departure from my domain.”
Alaric says the words through gritted teeth, as if it’s causing him great pains to speak.
“I will not talk to Cara. She will not see me. And I will never see her again. This is my promise, in exchange for the promise of seeing her.”

I saw Eamon give a slight nod, the red–headed men all move aside and Alaric storms into the hospital.
It’s my first time seeing him so nervously like this.
I couldn’t comprehend what I’d seen. My eyes followed Alaric’s hasty figure, a silent prayer for my closest friend echoing in my heart.
CARA…
Godness, please…
