Chapter 60 : Where the Moonlight Waits
Ruby's POV
The night wind carried a strange kind of stillness—
the kind that makes the trees hold their breath and the stars pause mid-glimmer,
as if even the world itself knew something was about to change.
I lay curled near the hearth, my wolf form wrapped in the fire’s gentle glow. The flames whispered softly, their warmth seeping into my fur, but the comfort did little to ease the restless thrum beneath my ribs. My belly rose and fell with quiet effort, heavier now, fuller. The cubs were growing—stronger each day. I could feel their faint movements inside me, small shifts of life that made my heart ache with both wonder and fear.
Then I heard him.
The sound of steady footsteps down the corridor.
Slow. Measured. Heavy with something unsaid.
