Wayne started the engine without a word, and we began our journey to my new home. In the backseat, I couldn’t hold back the flood of tearsany longer.
As if sensing my anguish, Rufus silently offered me a box of tissues. Grateful for the pack’s understanding, I accepted the tissue box, knowing that my life had irrevocably changed and there was no turning back.

Ruby
As I stepped out of the car, my eyes widened at the sight of Wayne’s house. It was big with intricate stone carvings, surrounded by lush gardens and towering trees. I blew my nose, trying to keep myself together after sobbing the whole ride here.
“Welcome home, Ruby,” Wayne said, his voice filled with warmth as he led me towards the entrance while holding my hand in his.
As we walked inside the house, I wished I was in a better mood to appreciate what I was seeing. The house was beautiful, with high ceilings and elegant furnishings. A chef bustled around the kitchen while two butlers showed up to carry my suitcases.
“Oh wow,” I mumbled through my teary eyes. Even though my heart ached, I couldn’t help but feel impressed.
“My staff knows you are the lady of the house,” said Wayne. “They will obey your every order. Whatever you like, they will assist in whatever way they can.”
I yawned in response. I was overwhelmed and also exhausted from the long trip.
“I’m so sorry,” I said, quickly apologizing.
“No worries.”
“Let’s show her to her room,” said Rufus. Wayne nodded aswe followed the butlers who were carrying my suitcases up the stairs.
“Your house is beautiful,” I said, looking around in awe as we passed by stunning watercolor paintings that were hung. The hallway to the bedroom also had beautiful decor on the walls.
“We work in construction, so it better damn be,” said Wayne gruffly. “We’re finally here. This is your room. I’ve been waiting for years to show you this, my promised omega.”
He opened the bedroom door, and my breath caught in my throat as I viewed the wonder inside.
The bedroom was all silver furniture, dominated by an enormous silver and pink nest in the center—sheer curtains draped around it, creating an intimate sanctuary. I had grown used to the nest at the hotel, but this one was on another level.
“I hope you like it,” said Davy, uncertain of my response.
“This is amazing,” I whispered, unable to tear my gaze away from the luxurious nest covered in velvet pillows and blankets. This was better than any bed in the world. Just looking at it made me want to snuggle up in there with my alphas and forget about everything else in the world but birthing babies for them.
Wayne grinned, his eyes darkening with desire. “We hired a nest maker. You can change the colors anytime you want. And once you’re my bride, we can change it to white if you’d like.”
My stomach somersaulted at the thought. Excitement mixed with fear raced through me.Was I really meant to be Wayne’s bride? To an alpha who didn’t even believe in love?
“Wayne,” I started, unsure how to put my feelings into words.
“Not saying we’re getting married right now,” he said gently, his hand brushing against mine.
“Everything’s happening so fast, and it’s a bit overwhelming,” I said slowly.
He looked into my eyes, understanding and concerned, softening his features. “I know.”
“Is it okay if I had some time to myself right now?” I saidhesitantly, but he didn’t seem to mind at all. His pack cleared out of the room in seconds, and he hovered at the door before closing it.
“I will give you all the time you need, okay?” he said, and I nodded. “I’ll be back to check on you after you’ve settled in.”
With that, he gently closed the door behind him as he left the room. Once alone, I wandered around the spacious bedroom, my heart aching at the memory of Jasper ending our relationship. Gazing out the giant window, I recalled our last kiss under the sunlight. I wanted to call him, but I stopped myself. I had to give Wayne and his pack a real chance at love and get to know them.
I explored the bathroom, which was covered in silver and pink decor. It was the perfect omega bathroom, even though I hated the color pink. If I ended up having real feelings for Wayne and his pack, I would change the colors for sure. I peeled off the clothes that I’d been traveling in for hours and quickly turned on the shower.
I stepped into the warm spray of water, letting it wash away the stress that had been building up inside me. As I slathered myself with the luxurious soaps and shampoos, I couldn’t help but think about what my life would be like now.
