Chapter 4

But, sir, shouldn't she first sign on as a trainee? Alpha hears a whisper from Zeta Rowan."She is not, no. She is a member of the Gael clan. They are warriors by nature. You will allow her to officially join the army once she serves as your personal student for a week or two, Alpha Jack responds. Do you comprehend?"Yes, sir." Zeta Rowan briefly fixes his icy gaze on her before returning to his previous responsibilities.

"Rowan," says Alpha Jack. "Don't you think there's something you've forgotten?"The man's forehead furrows, yet his eyes expand at once. He quickly apologizes, saying, "Sir, I'm sorry about that." The girl automatically takes a step back as he approaches her. He towered over her with his strong, tall frame. He says, "Kneel."Ruby follows instructions. Zeta Rowan takes the armor away from her and then rises in front of her. He hands her her armor back and adds, "I, Zeta Rowan, welcome you to the Bronx army by my power as the commander."Ruby has taken a fifth look at the armor since they returned to the workplace, and she's still not sure what just transpired. How did they come to the decision to enlist her so quickly? What's most crucial is why."You exude excitement. She steals repeated glances at what had served as her aunt's armor, and Alpha Jack comments, "I'm glad."Yes, I'm eager. As she chews on some of the cake he bought her, she responds, "You know, this doesn't happen to just everyone.Alpha Jack seemed a little taken aback. "I do not comprehend. Wasn't it your intention to carry on the family's legacy?" he queries.Of course I was, but I didn't anticipate it happening so quickly. William didn't pick up his either. Why? I still wonder. She briefly loses her composure. She is reminded of her original motivation for visiting the alpha's lodge whenever she thinks about him. "By the way, I have a question.""Go on."She shares with him the conversation she had with her friends regarding the bestowal of blessings. He appears concerned, but his old face is adorned with a weary smile."You don't need to be concerned about that, kid. Some rules aren't as strict with your family, he explains.She exclaims, throwing her fist in the air, "I knew it. I made the same point to them, but they refused to pay attention.He laughs. They are not truly at fault. They're not your enemies, are they? Friends, by their very nature, worry when something doesn't feel right, he says."Drawing me here wasn't necessary. But I'm delighted I came. They are silent as they sit. "May I ask you a question?"

Naturally, anything.With a nod. "What caused this to occur today? I anticipated it would happen later. Additionally, why not have me sign up as a trainee first?Jack Alpha smiles. He begins, "I know all of this must be quite overwhelming for you," and she nods in agreement. "I understand, but the army needs another Gael first. The only reason this took so long to happen was that you weren't of legal age yet.However, William reached legal age two years ago. She queries, "Why didn't he join?His body tenses, but she doesn't notice. Later, he settles back down. William hasn't joined yet because he's working on something crucial for me."For a period of two years?" Ruby does not respond when Ava asks.Regarding your second inquiry, he continues, "It's not that I don't want you to initially sign up as a trainee. You ought to, but a Gael is never allowed to be a trainee. That is the situation.She asks aloud, "Why is that?"Jack Alpha chuckles. "My friend, you seem to have a lot of questions. I tell you what. You must complete some homework.She looks at him, perplexed, and puts down the dessert. She has lost her appetite.There is an underground section in your house. That is the Gael Keep, which is where your ancestors' immense knowledge and study are kept. Find the response to your second query down there, he commands. Her eyes enlarge. I'll give you a week to consider this and come up with a solution.

Ruby groans. This isn't right. You could just tell me, you know.His chin is rubbed. "I know that, but then it wouldn't be fun that way," he replies with a mischievous grin.She gets up and gathers her gifts after becoming irate, but regrettably discovers she can't bring the armor with them.Alpha Jack laughs. He inquires, "Is your house open?"Obviously not! She responds, staring at him in shock, "Who leaves their house without securing the door?"Slow down. That being said, does William have a key?"He ought to,""Great. You can simply carry on with your day. In order to prevent them from leaving the armor behind, I'll send a guard to your house with William, the man says.She exits with a "Thanks, Uncle Jack" in her voice."Thanks for having me, kid. Have fun for the remainder of the day.She has a lot of thoughts about her talk with the alpha as she makes her way back to the Bradfords' house. She has the impression that she is in a maze where she must figure out a series of puzzles.

"I get a headache because of this. Later, I'll think about it," she murmurs to herself.Once she arrives at the twins' house, her thoughts are free of everything and are only concerned with having fun for the day."So what did the alpha say?" you ask. As soon as Ruby joins them at the table, Wylie inquires.Why don't you greet her return first? While she is enjoying some cake, at least ask her those tiresome questions of yours. Lylie reprimands her sister."That is not important to me. Wylie responds, "I just want to hear how the trip went.Ruby speaks before Lylie can complete her thought. She doesn't want the twins to fight again today. " No problem, Lylie. Not even hungry, really.

At the alpha's office, I ate a lot. She then faces Wylie. He claimed that it was irrelevant. When my family is involved, some regulations are less strict.Wylie makes multiple blinks. Then she adds gently, "Okay.""So, um, what's up with the presents?" Ruby answers Lylie's question by describing what transpired.~~~As she walks home in the evening breeze, Ruby's hair twirls. Her smile is still spreading as she replays the day's events in her head. "A birthday to remember," she murmurs.Roses, fragrant lilies, and sawdust are all infused in her nostrils. It makes her feel inebriated. She might taste honey or Snickers if she could taste the air. Her feet start to move on their own, leading her to the nearby carpenter's shop.

She tries to force herself to stop going as she approaches William, but her feet refuse to stop.The person said, "That's our mate!" Ava yells.Ruby's eyes enlarge with surprise.The next sound is that of rushing feet. William turns to face her, waves, and after noticing her distressed expression, he chooses to approach her.He muses, "Perhaps she wants to tell me something."Ruby moves a little bit away from him. His coworkers scowled. How could she possibly be sick? They stop working to observe the two siblings.The question "What's wrong, Camille?" William approaches her and inquires.She sighs, "No, it can't be," in a low voice."Camille...""No!" She turns on her heels and shakes her head firmly before vanishing.One of the carpenters asks, "What the...?""What possibly could be wrong with her?" William ponders aloud. I must proceed after her and negotiate."It is not yet time for closing. Their manager jumps in and says, "You can't leave before then, and by the way, you haven't even finished your work for the day. William occasionally wonders if the tall, white-skinned man with the broken nose is indeed a vampire. He would constantly tremble at the thought.William reluctantly returns to his job because there isn't much he can accomplish before the day is gone.

Ruby would be content if the evening wind could just make her feel better. She is still thinking about the incident as she sits on her lawn.She believed that finding your soul partner should be an exciting experience. She had always imagined meeting him and gasping for air the moment they both arrived. She had always pondered whether or not she would have to put up with him rather than the man of her dreams. None of those appear to be true.Her brow furrows. She asks the wind, "But how is this possible?" She exhales.

If only the breeze could continue to provide the same level of comfort.The house is filled with noise. A door opens and closes in her hearing. She already knows who it is without being informed."Camille!" William makes a worrisome call.At the sound of his voice, her throat becomes dry. She keeps quiet while further tucking herself into the wall's shadow. She says in her head, "Hopefully, he'll get tired of looking for me and just sit," but she knows William would never do that.The door leading to the backyard opens, as she had anticipated.William takes a deep breath. "Wow, you frightened me. I've been searching everywhere for you.She says, "I just want to be left alone."He settles into a chair next to her on the steps leading to the door, scratching the back of his neck. First of all, he wishes Camille a happy birthday.

She reluctantly says, "Thanks."Your present is within, but let's take care of this immediate issue first. What's happening to you?Ruby laughs. "What's happening to me? No, of course not.
