His Lost Tribrid Novel

Ruby POV 

Staring into the mirror that hung on the wall of my bedroom, I narrowed my purple eyes and studied my face.

Twenty-one.

I didn’t look different.

My long, thick black hair fell down my back in waves, my creamy skin clear and smooth, and my large lips still pouted as I frowned.

My body is becoming fuller as I grow older and I have to say I quite like my larger boobs and broader hips.

They make me feel grown up.

Womanly.

But none of this had happened over night.

However, what I couldn’t put my finger on was how I felt...different.

There was this overwhelming sense of something to come.My body was on high alert.My skin tingled with the anticipation.Of what, I am not so sure.

Perhaps I was just excited about my birthday after all.

Racing down the stairs, two at a time, I barreled into the quaint and cozy kitchen expecting to be met by Maggie’s smiling face at the very least.

With my hand gripping the doorway as I spun into the room, my disappointment caused me to stop dead.

The room was empty and everything was much the same as it was left last night.

When I came back for dinner, Maggie seemed more subdued than usual.

We ate our dinner in silence and when she finished, she excused herself for bed without even a mention of my birthday tomorrow.I wanted to go after her and check if she was okay but something stopped me.

She would talk to me when she was ready.

Yet, faced with the reality that she had not even bothered to get out of bed to celebrate with me like she had always done before, I knew I could not let this go.

Marching towards her room, the irritation I was feeling grew.It was the company of others, I have accepted that this is my fate.

So, the least she can do is bake me a cake! When I reached her room, I opened the door without knocking and stormed inside.
