Chapter 176
It had been a few days since the last time alpha James met with Ruby after the incident with luna Jasmine. He intentionally avoided her and thankfully, that woman was smart enough not to approach him and let the situation cooled down.
However tonight, alpha James was exceptionally feeling down and he couldn’t come to his mate for comfort, because Jasmine was still adamant that he had done something horrendous to their son. She didn’t even acknowledge her mistake at all. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
In her eyes, everyone else were at fault. Their son wouldn’t have runaway if they didn’t corner him and accuse him for something horrible.
Jasmine believed alpha Hunter only made up story about the attack to his pack.
And there was no amount of words that could convince Jasmine otherwise. She was too stubborn when it came about their son and he wouldn’t accept any other advice, despite the one that she believed was right.
Alpha James was not a weak person, but he also needed someone to comfort him, especially during this tough time. He knew it was wrong, but he wished for Ruby’s company. At the very least, he could talk about something else, aside from the problem with the lycan and the other alphas.
At first, alpha James planned to ask Ruby to come seeing him in the afternoon, having a lunch like they used to, but when he was about to return to his bedroom, somehow his feet took him to his grandson’s room, in which Ruby’s room was next to it.
That was when he heard her cry. She was crying silently in the beginning, but then her cries became more palpable.
“Ruby?” Alpha James tried to call her because he was worried there was someone sneaking inside her bedroom. “Ruby, are you inside?”
Ruby didn’t seem to hear him, but because of the urgency of the situation, alpha James decided to take an action right now, as he entered the bedroom without any sound and found her writhing on the bed, she looked like she was in so much agony.
Alpha James looked around, trying to find any threats or any danger that had caused her pain, but there was no one inside the room, aside from the two of them.
In that case, why would Ruby in so much pain? He couldn’t understand and then try to wake her up. He shook her body and tried gauge the situation.
“Ruby! Ruby!” Alpha James called her name loudly, trying to get her back to reality, but it was not easy to get her attention, because she kept thrashing in her sleep, she almost looked like someone just stabbed her and skinned her alive, if that even made
sense.
any
Alpha James looked at her closely, the way her face was contorted in pain and how she asked for help. She pleaded with him to stop the pain, but alpha James didn’t have any idea, where the pain was coming from, until he saw it.
Because Ruby was moving around, her hair was brushed back and her neck was exposed, that was when alpha James saw the mark on her neck. Her mark was burning. It was bright red, the sign of
betrayal.
When Aiden betrayed Lilac to be with Ruby, he had not yet marked her, that was why Ruby didn’t feel anything, but it was different with Ruby right now.
When Aiden betrayed her, she already had a son with him and he already marked her, therefore, when he betrayed her, she would feel this excruciating pain.
“Damn it that son of mine!” Alpha James cursed under his breathe when he realized this. fact.
Not many people knew about this, because a shifter shouldn’t have betrayed their other half. That was unacceptable. A mate was for life..
However, his son not only betrayed his destined mate, but he also betrayed the mother of his son. What a scumbag he was to do such abominable thing for the second time. How they could create such vile and vain son?
“It’s okay Ruby, you will be fine. It’s alright.” Alpha James didn’t know what to do on how to help her, thus he rushed out to call for a healer.
Meanwhile, Ruby was in so much pain, she was in an extreme agony when Aiden started the ceremony with Danika, spending the night together in the throes of passion, didn’t care much about anything else, aside from ending this tradition.
However, Aiden found himself couldn’t get enough of this woman. She reminded him of Lilac. Her gloomy side and how her velvety hair brushed his skin. He was a fool for not marking her first and mated with her before he left for the war.
Only if he did that, he would still have her now, she would be tied down with him for life and she wouldn’t be able to reject him easily like she did to him.
He was fool not to think that.
He would still have her now if he marked her.
Meanwhile, not even once it crossed his mind that his action had caused a great pain on Ruby, because like what alpha James said, not everyone knew about this fact. He didn’t- know that his action could cause pain to the mate that he had marked and right now, Ruby felt like her heart was being ripped apart.
“How is she?” Alpha James asked the healer about Ruby’s current state and she confirmed what he was afraid of.
“It seemed, you are very right about this one alpha,” the healer said in apologetic tone and alpha James had never been so humiliated in his life when he heard that. His sont was mating with someone else right now.
When everything fell apart and his mother had been defending him with her life and the pack was in the brink of crumbling. He actually had a gut to mate with another
woman!
No wonder. He escaped from this place and the lycan had helped him, what else he expected from his son?
Only less than a year ago, he was so proud of him for actually ending the war with the lycan, but right now, he actually would start a new war, but this would be worse than the last time. Alpha James couldn’t think of a way what the reason Aiden did this to himself and his pack.
“What we should do now?” alpha James grimaced to see Ruby was in so much pain and probably because the baby felt what his mother was feeling right now, he started to cry. In the room next to this, the baby started to scream on the top of his lungs, which made. the healer looked uncomfortable.
“There is only one way to alleviate the pain from her, or else, she would feel this pain every time her mate is mating with someone else,” the healer said.
“What is it?” Alpha James frowned, he had heard about this, but he had never heard. about how you could deal with it.
The healer looked hesitated when she told him about what should be done in this.
situation.
“She needed to be remarked.” The healer looked at the alpha. “The pain will be subsided, but if her mate was mating again with another woman, she would be in this excruciating pain.”
“What?” Alpha James had never heard anything like this and he was in disbelieve. “Remarked her?”
“You need to find someone to remark him, alpha.” The healer looked at Ruby with complicated look. “In that case, she will no longer tie down with alpha Aiden. She will be no longer a luna of the pack.”
Even the healer found it funny when she said it, because no one ever saw her as the luna
he pack, even when she had given birth to the alpha firstborn.
“I will call someone to comfort the baby.” The healer then left because she couldn’t stand the heartbreaking cry of the baby, leaving alpha James to find a solution for this problem.
Alpha James stood there, he was trying to think of the right person to remark Ruby when she suddenly grabbed his hand and pleaded with him.
“Please… please, mark me…” Ruby cried, she didn’t think clearly because of the pain and her request shocked the alpha. “Please, help me, this is very painful.”
