Chapter 3

The issue is that I'm not sure. He ought to be at work, though. He always leaves early in the morning to arrive on time, Ruby responds.So you're saying he wasn't there when you woke up? The twins exchange glances. Wylie enquires."Nope.""And you looked all over the house, but he was still nowhere to be found?", Lylie queries."However, I didn't look around the house. William is well known for making noise, so spotting him isn't difficult. Ruby responds, admiring a silver bracelet with hearts all over it, "But no, he wasn't at home when I left.He didn't even think to leave a note, I see. This time, Wylie has stopped what she was doing to look at her companion and ask.Ruby arches an eyebrow and says, "Um, I'm not sure. He could have left a note. If he thinks it's necessary, he typically leaves them on the kitchen table," she responds."Did you look at the dining room table? The sisters all inquired at once."Nope" is the response.Lylie exclaims, "You're a very big fool," in a serious tone."What? Why?"

Ruby, your brother—not mine, but yours—left the home before you woke up, says Wylie, turning in her seat to face Ruby. He didn't leave anything he had for you on your bed, nor did he get out of bed to wake you up. He should have been the first person to see you today, but you're cool with that? Are the two of you mad?" she inquires. "I don't get it," Ruby says, blinking a few times as she tries to process what is happening. Why does it matter so much?""Um, aren't you familiar with the customs, or have you forgotten everything?" they ask her as they both look at her in shock.Wylie queries her.

Ruby, beginning to become irritated, asks, "Do enlighten me.""Gladly. She rubs her face gently. " In case you've forgotten, the law says that when someone comes of age, the oldest person in the family should be the first person to see the new adult once they wake up from sleep. The oldest person in your family is supposed to bless you and pave the way for your adulthood to run smoothly.'And William shouldn't have done that. Normally, it should have been Mom or Dad,' Ruby's thinking tells her."Are you even paying attention? Or are William and you both just crazy? Wylie inquires in an irritated manner.How many times do I need to assure you folks that I am aware of the law? Ruby enquires.Why did you forget that rule today, of all days, since you knew it so well? Wylie folds her arms and asks"I wasn't oblivious. Additionally, that rule isn't even that onerous. It can be bent," argued Ruby.Lylie expresses concern: "You keep talking about changing laws that have been in place for generations."

Indeed, Lylie! They have been bent for generations, if they have been there for generations. Ruby screams, raising her arms in protest, "Look, not everyone can break the rules. I'm aware of that. But some families don't need to follow certain rules. I'm telling the truth, so believe me.With her arms still folded, Wylie replies, "I'm sorry, but when it comes to tradition, I can't believe what I have never seen before.""You want proof? Good," Ruby exhales. Did I mention that when William turned 18, neither his parents nor I gave him a blessing?" Yes, you heard me properly; the sisters gasped. That morning, before William got out of bed, Dad had already left for an urgent trip to the palace of the Alpha. While Mom was preparing breakfast, she had to go outside to our neighbor's home.

I was the first person to notice him that morning, in fact."What?", the twins ask incredulously."Yes. When Mom returned, William had already left the house due to his restless legs. Is he not still living now? He is still the same moron from that morning two years ago, in addition to being alive. Why you people think that any of these things are important is beyond me."All OK. I suppose you're right in that regard," Lylie concedes."Exactly. So just permit me to be.Wylie continues, her face showing she isn't buying the idea at all. "I have a question, though.""Shoot.""Who blessed your brother when he reached adulthood if no one in your family did so?"Ruby says, "Alpha Jack blessed him."

"That's his job," responds Wylie.Ruby explains, "Well, he was just going about his business then.Wylie blurts out, "I think you should ask Alpha Jack right away."C"Good afternoon, sir," the guard says."Hello, Lucius," says Alpha Jack with a smile. What is the issue?" does he ask?Lucius, head guard, adds, "The daughter of Orson Gael is here to see you."What are you waiting for, then?" The Alpha asks with gleaming eyes. He yells, "Let the kid in.

Ruby quickly finds herself in front of the Alpha and says, "Hello, my love. How are you doing today? Alpha Jack smiles and motions for a seat.The last time Ruby was in his office, things were different, and most significantly, the paint was a different hue. As a result, Ruby feels a little bewildered by the new layout."I see you noticed the changes," says the alpha.Uncle Jack: "Yes. What the heck is going on? She continues to look at the purple paint and asksHe responds confidently, "Well, as today is your birthday, I decided to do something in honor of my little friend," and the expression of surprise on her face makes him feel good.For real? Uncle Jack, you didn't have to go this far," she objects.He decides to alter the subject, saying, "I'm delighted you came here just now. To get you, I was going to dispatch someone.

She frowns and asks, "Why? Why is that?""I believe you ought to be moving around today. Why, especially on a beautiful day like this, do you prefer to keep warm inside your home?" Does he ask?Just the shiny silver wrapping tells her it's a gift, and sure enough, he hands it to her. Ruby raises an eyebrow. "I wasn't at home, actually, so even if you sent someone to get me, they wouldn't have found me in the house," she responds. Her eyes follow him as he goes to a cabinet in a far corner of the office and receives something."I apologize that I couldn't find a better option. I had to do some last-minute buying for this, let's say," he apologizes.You're not required to apologize. Everything is fine. The key is in the thought.He says, "So where were you if you weren't at home?" as she begins to unwrap it."At the Bradfords', I was This morning, Wylie, Lylie, and I went out for a quick treat before they took me home. Ruby blinks many times. " It appears that they arranged a surprise with their parents and a few others.

Is everything okay?" Alpha Jack inquires.She stays silent.'What if she doesn't like it?' he wonders as he starts to become anxious.When her voice returns, she calls "Uncle Adam," saying, "Oh my goodness, you got me a new laptop!"

He enthusiastically returns the hug and says, "I'm glad you like it." In a minute, she will be on his side of the enormous desk, hugging the life out of him.Naturally, I enjoy it! Who wouldn't adore something this lovely? She enquires. I have another gift for you," he chuckles. A more crucial one," he claims.His tone has a hint of severity, which she detects. Could I see it?"She follows him closely, wondering why he was taking this so seriously, and he says firmly, "Come with me," getting up from his seat and leading her out of the office.As usual, the trainees are getting in shape while their supervisors are watching to make sure everything is in order.

Just behind the alpha's mansion is a special training ground for the warriors and the guards who work directly with the alpha and his family.Ava remarks, "I wonder why he's bringing us here.Ruby replies, "Me too, actually, and he's suddenly looking so cold."The Alpha yells, "Zeta Rowan."A guy in armor walks forward and replies, "Yes sir." He gives the girl a quick glance before continuing.The man nods and vanishes for a moment before Alpha Jack commands, "Get me that armor I left in your care yesterday."

Just a second, my love. Camila nods, intrigued by how all the trainees and other superiors have stopped what they are doing to look at them. "He'll be with us soon," Alpha Jack says.Ruby muses, "Normally, they would be whispering by now."Soon after, Zeta Rowan appears in gleaming armor.Such a sight to witness, remarks Ava.Ruby says, her mouth watering at the magnificence of the armor, "I know, right.

The Alpha addresses Ruby Gael as "Ruby Gael," saying that she is Orson Gael's firstborn child. His sister, Mai Gael, was the last person to put on this armor. We tragically lost her in a war.Alpha Jack continues, "Today, you have come of age to join your warrior heritage, and that's why we are here today. Everyone is staring at them; even Ruby wonders what's going on. You have been placed in the proper direction by me, the Alpha of the Bronx Pack. You have just joined our pack as a soldier.The name Gael is carved on the breastplate as he hands her the armor. "Um, thanks," she manages to murmur, blinking at it several times as she tries to process what had transpired.
