Chapter 30
Ruby
I wake up in his arms, he is still in a deep sleep. His breathing is so soft and his face so calm. He is gorgeous, I tuck hid loose hair strands behind his ears and kiss him softly on his lips.
I smile when I reminisce, I love him so much, I just hope I remain paired to him.
Well, goddesses wishes will always prevail though.
After so much convincing, my mum finally agrees to the separation of our souls. I can’t lie to you, it scares the crap out of me, but I got to do it because if I don’t, I am going to lose my mind trying to juggle three men from different realms. I still don’t know why Damien and Rowan treated me the way they did. My mum told me that, it might be because we almost became intimate at the same time, so a barrier was created to stop us from doing that again.
\---Two days later ---
Today being the new moon is perfect because it’s a celestial night and all supernatural beings are extremely powerful. The only place this kind of ritual can happen is the deepest and center place in the forest. The journey takes almost seven hours to get there. The rules are, we are not supposed to cheat our way there because there will be consequences, so the only way is to actually walk there, no running, no teleporting.
“Baby I am ready now.” I say to Owen, who hugs me from behind when he appears in my room. He had gone to his realm to pick up some essentials. His wild fruit scent washes over me and calms me always, and I am always horny when I inhale it. It’s so crazy.
“Can’t I change your mind, baby?” He asks, his warm breath fanning my neck, I close my eyes and turn around to look at him.
“Oh baby, I can’t stop now, I have to see this through. Don’t worry about me okay, I will be okay.” I place my hand on his cheek, he lean on it and closes his eyes.
He then takes a deep breath before opening them. He traces my cheeks with his thumb, making sparks erupt from his touch. I can feel how scared he is for me. I am scared, too, but something in me assures me that I will be okay. I guess it’s my sisters. I still can’t believe it.
“Let’s go, baby, mum is waiting for us downstairs.” If we continue staring at each other like this, I am going to rip his clothes into tatters, I swear. I find myself biting my lower lip just by the thought.
“Mmmh baby, I would love that.” He winks.
“Stop it, Owen, let’s go.” I say blushing because the image of my hand rubbing his chiseled chest while looking at his deep ruby eyes, is still stuck in my mind.
“Oh baby stop please.” He begs, his voice so raspy, I can see the lust in his eyes.
“Stop reading my mind, baby.” I say.
“I can’t stop when your mind is so dirty, and sy, I love it, see.” He takes my hand and places it on the bulge on his sports trousers.
My py throbs.
I tiptoe and take his lips in mine, he makes a soft moan that drives me insane. He picks me up by my bu and in sync I wrap my legs around his waist. Our lips crush each other hungrily, slowly biting his lower lip as we move in rhythm. I let go of my backpack and wrap my hands around his neck.
“Stop it, you two.” My mother’s voice says teasingly outside my bedroom door. Owen reluctantly lets me go, I can see how frustrated he looks.
“Mum!” I say, feeling a bit embarrassed, I hope we weren’t too loud because that’s our specialty.
Owen picks my backpack and carries it downstairs after he waits for his bulge to go down, I can’t stop laughing because it took too long.
“He loves you, that’s why he can’t sleep.” Owen teases. I laugh even more.
“So baby, as we discussed, you will go ahead because I will be coming with Nashon, as you know you can’t see him now because of the spell.” My mother explains when we are downstairs taking breakfast.
Nashon is my father, whom I have never seen. I look at my mom and see the cheerful look she has on when she mentions his name, now I know where she was going when she was dolled up every time, she always looked so joyful after that. I am sure they love each other so much and because of me, they couldn't be together.
A rush of sadness washes over me and immediately Owen places his hand on mine, I look at him and his face brings me joy. He is my man, and I am sure he is my mate, he stood by me all this while. I don't understand why a wolf was paired with a demon Prince. But I will get to know that.
The breakfast is short and sweet because we are racing against time, it's already seven o'clock.
I kiss my mum goodbye and Owen and I embark on the longest trekking of our life. I hate walking by the way so most of the journey I hop on his back and he carries me willingly. He tells me the stories about his realm, so many things sound horrifying and strange.
Each time he places me down, he checks if my hat is in place, and he retouches my sunscreen, he is so cute doing all this. He doesn't want me to get sunburns. I tell him I recover faster since I am a wolf, but he still insists. Owen teases me all the way, he doesn't leave any chance to kiss me, caress me, say beautiful words to me too.
I just wish we had more time, or maybe we would have been journeying alone, I would have definitely had my way with him.
We stop on the way for just water and some snacks, we can't dally around though since mum and dad can catch up to us, and when I see him something bad will happen to my sisters and I.
I feel so weird saying dad.
The more we walk further, the duller the forest becomes, the tree leaves become darker and darker until they are almost black. The tree barks become drier and drier. And the bushes become thicker. I cling onto Owen's hand, I would rather not let go of it. Birds and cricket songs are replaced by total silence, we can even hear the twigs and branches breaking underneath our legs as we walk on them.
I can hear Owen's heavy breaths, even his hard swallowing.
The air suddenly changes, when we get to a small opening after the thickets.
There are seven tall trees, taller than the rest, which surround an old cabin. It practically looks deserted. The trees look so strange and peculiar. I have been to the woods before, but I have never come across such trees.
I walk slowly towards the cabin, Owen is one step ahead of me and his hand is wrapped protectively around my waist.
'I feel like someone is watching us, baby.' I speak in my mind, I hope he is listening to my thoughts. I am so afraid to speak out loud.
'Yes baby, someone is definitely watching us, but don't worry. I will never let anything happen to you.' He assures me, stops for a bit and looks at me. 'I will die first before anything happens to you, Ruby.' He adds and the sincerity in his eyes say it all.
'Oh baby.' My love for him grows even more, my heart swells for him. I am so lucky to have him. Owen suddenly stops when some imaginary wall blocks us from passing. The cabin seems to be magically surrounded, no one can walk past the trees.
Before I can speak, the cabins' door screeches and opens up, we wait to see if someone comes out, but there is no one. The only thing we see is the door, so wide open now.
