He was in… rut.
After six long years, I had once again come face to face with Reuben in rut. Having lived humans for the last six years, I had never encountered another wolf in rut. That amongst being said n had I forgotten how wildly intense Reuben’s was. He would lose all self- control; his wolf and lust would take over him, and he would no longer be himself. Instead, his only aim would be to quench his thirst, that was all. It a werewolf’s life, especially a male wolf. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
My heart drummed in my chest as sparks assaulted my entire body at his sharp scent. It was just as intoxicating as it had been in the past, instantly awakening my wolf to the point where I couldn’t tear my eyes from him. No one other than me could know how dangerous Reuben’s rut was for me, yet my legs automatically began the journey towards him instead of turning and running away. I walked into the wolf’s den as if drawn by magnet.
My entire being and Ceri seemed to be chained by the sharpness of his aura and scent. Kneeling in front of him, my eyes swept over his flushed cheeks
“Why did you come back?” He questioned, his voice shook with the pain that was slowly rising in his body. “Leave quickly before it is too late,” his breathing was uneven and heavy.
My lips parted slightly to speak as I gazed at his sweaty forehead. He had been holding himself back with all his might, “Did you know that you were abo
His eyes changed slightly into a dark green, which was not a good sign at all. “Yes, but it has just started. Now quickly go and don’t return,” he looked away from me, trying to avoid inh
As he did so, my heart grew restless and I raised my hand to touch him, but I stopped myself in mid– air and yanked my hand back. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Would it have changed anything if I had?” He slowly lifted his gaze to look at me again. “Would you have agreed to help me with it if I had told you?” he
I stared at him in surprise, his question stabbing at my heart. Would I really have agreed to help Reuben with this when I had hidden my heat from him, a
him?
He glanced at my slightly red eyes and shaking hands. “Just go,” he said, smiling in a way that pained me to see.
“Then what about you?” I couldn’t help but ask.
“I’ll manage,” he murmured.
His answer stunned me. “How?”
There was no way a rut could be overcome without s*x, unless the wolf endured three to four days of physical pain that would render them bedridden.
“I have my ways,” he simply replied, but my eyes landed on the phone in his other hand, where I could still see messages popping up.
Ella’s earlier message asking if she could come to meet him crossed my mind, ripping my heart into an infinite number of pieces.
“So it’s like that. The way you’re talking is Ella, right?” I secretly clenched my fist as his brows furrowed.
“Ella?”
“Am I wrong?” I darkly chuckled as my heart burned, turning to ash at the thought of the two of them together, “She’s on her way to take care of you. Tha
What the hell was I thinking coming back to check on him? I supposed that was my mistake. I shouldn’t have returned. That way, I wouldn’t have had to f
“WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU SAYING?!” he roared, grabbing my hand so that we stood face to face. “How many times do I have to tell you that there’s no
“Really? Am I really the one who brought another woman between us?!” I shrieked, shoving his hand away, “YOU ARE THE ONE WHO BROUGHT ANO
US SIX YEARS AGO!”
My words echoed throughout the house. I had finally spoken what I had kept hidden in my heart for years, suffering under its weight in silence. Everythin
“What Alpha’s daughter?” His voice was low, filled with confusion and a hidden anger, “What the hell are you talking about?”
“Don’t pretend to be innocent, Reuben. I know everything,” I chuckled manically, holding back my tears. “That day six years ago, when you brought an A Alpha position over me. You betrayed me, used me to assuage your wolf and your desires, then discarded me when I had been knocked up by you…”
“Enough!” he growled, grabbing both of my arms tightly and pulling me closer to his chest. “I never f**king used you to keep my wolf happy! I never chos
My eyes widened. He was still laying it on a bit thick. Did he take me for that much of a fool? I had enough.
“You are lying to me. I’m not falling for your bullshit again. You used to lie to me then disappear for weeks and months, just so that you could spend time with the Alpha’s daughter that you fell in love with a of her. You betrayed me, Reuben…”
He stared at me in silence, his aura sharpening like the honed edge of blades, and his eyes
burning with anger. “I used to disappear for the sake of our future!” he stated, his voice
heavy and deep.
“For our future?”
