Hope the conflicts are closing nicely. Would love to read your thoughts. Thank you for the support!!!
Jasper. Ruby and I joined Randolph and Racheal the next day. Maxwell had called to inform me they would come and get us in two hours so we could go to Brooksbridge. Ruby was nervous about the trip, and so was I. "Noelle said Emerald and Garnet ran a fever last night, but they are okay now. She just wanted us to know that they are fine." Ruby said while we sat on the couch in our old apartment. "Ask her to bring them," I said, and she shook her head. "I think it was the journey that caused it. She brought them when you were in the ICU, and I asked her to take them back to Lakewood even though my father insisted that they remain so he could spend time with them. Let us finish up at Brooksbridge and then return to Livingston. Kevin and Cindy are there, and I am sure Racheal and Randolph will join them soon because of Susan and Isabelle," she said. I sat back and relaxed. Randolph and Racheal arrived, smiling. "I see you like it here?" I asked Randolph because he had no reason to sti
Ruby. We arrived in Livingston in the afternoon. The three of us were tired, but I could not wait to hold my babies in my arms. Noelle's news had scared me more than I had let on, but there was no way I was letting Jasper out of my sight. He had escaped me and almost got himself killed once; I wasn't going to let that happen again. Everything was still like a dream. I was Luna of two packs. Who would have ever guessed that would be my fate? We arrived at the house, and there were several cars parked outside. I was worried, and I left Jasper and ran inside. My heart was in my mouth, but to my surprise, it was the people of Livingston, and they had come to congratulate Cindy. I saw her and Kevin with three babies. I rushed to Kevin. "When? How? Why didn't you tell me?" I asked my brother, taking one of them from him. "I wanted it to be a surprise," he said with teary eyes. He was delighted. "Two boys and one beautiful girl, Ruby," he said to me, and I smiled at him. The content i
Jasper. I stood by the door and looked at my beautiful mate while she snuggled between the sheets. She looked at peace, and a brief smile touched her lips. We were happy. I never knew what peace and freedom would feel like until I found it. I moved towards the bed, wondering if I should wake Ruby up or not. "Jasper," Ruby breathed with her eyes still shut. Was she talking in her sleep? I waved my hands slightly in front of her face thinking she would wake, but nothing happened. She was calling my name in her sleep. I know I might have overdone it last night, but I couldn't help myself. I hoped she wasn't sore because I might just go at it again before we leave for Brooksbridge. It has been a month since I officially took over both packs. We kept postponing our return as leaving Livingston was hard for all of us. But last night Brian called with some issues at Brooksbridge and I knew we had no choice but to return. I never really wanted any of this. I wished I did not have to kil
Jasper. I could not believe what I had just heard. Who was this Pavel, and what the fuck did he want. Where was he when his father went mad and terrorised the entire country? Why didn't he pull out a family challenge then? Why now? "Can he do that?" I asked Raymond, and he sighed. "He shouldn't, but you did not spare him because you did not know he existed." He said. "Shouldn't that disqualify him?" I asked Raymond. "It should, and I doubt he has two hundred million plus stashed away somewhere," he said, and I sighed. "So, what is the problem?" He asked. "He might find a way to still challenge you, Jasper," He confessed, and I wondered what this was all about. "Where was he when his father was terrorising everyone?" I asked, and my house was suddenly quiet because everyone was listening. So I would not have to explain myself, I walked back to the table and put Raymond on speaker. "The fucker is trying to be sneaky. I heard he is thirty-three years old, so he is older than you,
Ruby. Jasper and I had a wonderful month of peace and tranquillity. It felt good to finally be free. No one was hunting us, and we did not need to hide away. We weren't packless anymore, and all the things that used to plague our lives and disrupt our happiness were gone completely. The fight with Grigory scarred me. I had nightmares about Jasper. They pulled the plug in my nightmares, and he never woke up. That was a possible outcome; I was glad it never happened. Often Jasper would wake me up to assure me he was still with me, and I will hold him to thank my stars for keeping him with me. We never really discussed the content of my dreams, and by the third week, the frequency of the nightmares had reduced immensely. Hopefully, they would stop altogether. When Brian called Jasper, I knew our vacation was over. I had been dreading going to Brooksbridge, but I knew our trip to the pack was inevitable. I was from Lakewood, so Brooksbridge people would have no respect for me. I had s
Jasper. I could not believe the head maid had the nerves to suggest that Ruby and I stay in separate rooms because I would need privacy to screw other women. I might have to dismiss her because it was clear she had no respect for her Luna. Grigory might have had a certain way he ran the pack, but I was different, and my mate should be accorded the same respect like me. I will not tolerate anyone disrespecting Ruby like that. I will not have it. I noticed that Raymond brought Deltas from Lakewood to care for the twins; I linked him to thank him. That was quick thinking on his part. With the way, the women of Brookbridge were looking at me. Hopefully, I did not want to trust them with my children. Randolph wasn't joking when he said women would begin to hit on me openly. It was bad enough when I was a nobody. A woman had made my life hell because I refused her; now I knew it would be worse. I did not plan on overlooking advances from them. By the time I made examples of a few, they wo
Ruby. I woke up tired. The bedroom was dark, and it felt unfamiliar. It was an excess of luxury with a lot of space. I had never slept in a room this big or luxurious before, and Jasper and I always kept things simple and cute. The sheets around me were cold, and I knew Jasper had left the room for a while. I turned on the lamp at the side of the bed and looked around, and a cold breeze washed through me; I felt lonely. I checked my phone for the time, and it was three in the morning. Why wasn't he in bed? Getting up, I went to wear a night dress and covered my body with a robe because it was too sexy for me to be roaming around the big mansion. I was barefoot, and I did not think it mattered. I stepped out and tried to link the delta nannies my father brought for me. Luckily one of them was still awake. She described where the children's room was, and I was surprised that the children's room was next to ours. It was big too and filled with a lot of unnecessary things. Garnet and Em
Jasper. I didn't want Ruby to panic, but with how I was feeling in that office, I intended to shift and go hunting after the meeting to calm my wolf down. The stress and arguments had gotten to Leon, and he just wanted to kill something and act wild. Ruby had come unexpected, and I was surprised to see her, but she had once walked to town to look for me. It was expected that she would look for me when she woke up and I wasn't beside her, especially when we made love and fell asleep in each other's arms. I did not appreciate Linda's disrespect, but I had caught on that that was the norm of Brooksbridge. Lunas were usually poorly treated in the pack. I was shocked when Bison, my gamma, told me how nasty Grigory was to his mate. The sick part was that the alphas were expected to treat their Luna's that way. The treatment usually becomes worse if she cannot give birth to an heir like Brian's mother, Glenda. Ruby must have been worried; coming to find me barefoot said it all. I knew Le
