Please, god, let him be alive.
Three figures suddenly rushed into the room, and my head snapped up. I saw Wayne’s pack scattering in all directions.
Rufus ran for Marrok, lifting him and slamming him against the wall until the whole apartment shook. Davy rushed to my side, removing the rag from my mouth.
“He stabbed Wayne,” I cried, my heart thumping. “Wayne’s going to die!”
“Let me get these ropes off you,” said Davy, who was expertly cutting the ropes in four swift strikes with the knife in his hand. “What the hell is going on here?”
Jasper hurried to free Wayne while Davy worked on my ropes.
“Thank you,” I said breathlessly when he finally freed me from my bonds. I tumbled out of the bed and crawled to Wayne’s bleeding form on the ground.
Tears streamed down my cheeks as I reached him, gently touching his face. His eyes fluttered open when he felt my touch.
Jasper was working quickly to free him from his restraints.
“Jasper, I want you to take over as pack leader,” Wayne commanded, holding Jasper’s wrist steady.
“Nothing is going to happen to you,” barked Jasper.
“And Ruby,” Wayne croaked, his voice weak. I could barely look at him from how hard I was crying. I couldn’t lose him now, no matter how annoying he could get at times. “I love you, sweetheart. Take care of Ella.”
Tears streamed down my face as I clutched his hand, desperate for him to hold on. His eyes were filled with pain.
“You can’t leave us,” I choked out between sobs. But he shook his head wordlessly. All control that he usually had was fading away.
I leaned in, pressing my trembling lips to Wayne’s, his warmth seeping into me as I tried to convey every ounce of love that filled my heart.
His head lolled to the side peacefully, and he whispered, his voice barely audible.
“I love you for all eternity. You are my wife, Ruby. You’re the only one I’ll ever want. Thank you for giving me a chance,” he said. Then he suddenly placed his lips on my neck and pierced my skin with his teeth.
A sharp pain shot through me, followed by the most intense pleasure I had ever felt.
I gasped, my eyes flying open as Wayne’s essence coursed through me, connecting us in a way that words could never dojustice. I could sense him as I felt his strength dwindling away, but also the depth of his love for me. His life force surged into mine with every heartbeat, mingling with mine and creating a bond that not even death could break.
“No one,” he growled possessively, but his voice was barely above a whisper now. “No one will ever hurt you now, Ruby. They will know you’re mine...my omega.”
As his grip on my hand relaxed, his body sagged against the filthy floor.
His eyes fluttered closed as his chest rose and fell with shallow breaths.
“Wayne,” I cried out, hugging him tighter. “Stay with me.” But he didn’t respond, his breathing shallow and uneven. He was at the edge of consciousness now, so close to slipping away from me forever.
I clung to him despite all the blood, crying as I felt the connection between us growing weaker by the second.
Tears streamed down my cheeks as I hugged him tight, refusing to let go even as the sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the room. Police officers burst in, announcing their arrival while paramedics followed closely behind. They worked quickly to put Wayne on a stretcher, carrying him out of the room.
“He killed Wayne!” Rufus bellowed, his rage uncontrollable as he beat Marrok into a bloody pulp. The police pulled Rufus back, warning him that any more violence would result in charges.
It was all a nightmare as I watched the police slap handcuffs on Marrok.
“Ruby, tell them you love me,” shouted Marrok, but I refused to acknowledge him. He was dead to me.
I sat on my knees, staring down at my bloody hands and my once-white wedding dress, now stained red with Wayne’s blood. This had turned out to be the worst day of my life, and all I could do was cry. Davy wrapped his arms around me, and I saw tears in his eyes, too.
“What happens if Wayne dies?” I choked out, feeling like I couldn’t breathe as my chest constricted.
