Chapter 16- Apology From Ruby
628 Words
Nyx's POV
When I awoke from my deep slumber, Rory was nowhere to be seen. Had all of this been a dream? But before I start to panic, I notice a note on my side of the bed, on the bedside table.
^Dear precious Luna, I've gone out to sort things out because I am the new Alpha of the pack. I won't be back until late afternoon so don't panic, beautiful. I love you. From Alpha Rory, your mate^.
I smiled to myself, thanking the Goddess for giving me such a wonderful, handsome and caring man.
I decided to get up and go for a walk to relax and to help with the pregnancy. I had completely forgotten that I was pregnant last night when I had mated with Rory.
**I hope the baby is okay and didn't get poked," I said in a joking way to Laika.
*I'm sure the pup is okay". Laika soon respond to my joke.
As I continued talking to Laika, I see the familiar red hair that I saw before the ceremony.
*What's that b***h doing back*? Laika asks angrily. Seeing Ruby pisses us both off, knowing that she slept with my first fated mate.
Ruby soon catches wind of my scent and turns immediately, but instead of her slandering me, she bows, showing the side of her neck in submission. That's right, I'm not a weak little Omega anymore, I'm a Luna.
"Why are you here, Ruby"? I growled at her, knowing how much pain she had caused me and my family. Ruby gulped and contemplated what to say without infuriating me.
"I came to apologize. Listen, I know you don't like me and I don't blame you, I hate myself as well". She paused thinking what to say next. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her but angry at the same time.
"I know I've been a real pain in your ass, but I really am sorry. I'm sorry for bullying and hurting you". She pleaded, tears rolling down her face.
*She really is sorry*. Laika chimed in. Ruby probably guessed from my eyes switching shades of blue.
I slowly walked over to her, not knowing if it was a trap. I had my reasons.
"If you're sorry, then why did you sleep with Cade"? I asked her, wanting to know the truth as to why she slept with a playboy and a rapist. She looks back down at her feet, and I feel this urge to slap her, but I hold myself together.
"Because I was jealous of you".
I was shocked when she said this, but my body had decided to hug her. Ciara had always been jealous of me also, so I understood where she was coming from. But why would anyone be jealous of me?
After the long hug and more tears, I decided to forgive her. Being a Luna means that you can tell when someone is being honest with you and I felt that.
"So, any idea of what the baby will be"? Ruby asks me, making her earn a smile from her victim, her Luna.
"No, but I am scared". I confessed. I was scared, I knew that it was happy. But I also knew there would be pain.
"There's nothing to be scared about. If anything, you're the bravest person I know".
Am I brave? Will I be able to go through with the pain of delivering a healthy baby?
I smiled at her, pushing the nagging questions to the back of my mind. I am happy. I'm happy that I have a mate, happy with me and my family getting along, happy about the growth of my baby and happy that Ruby had come to her senses and apologized.
