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
Ruby. The moment Jasper left, I felt sadness sip in. I wasn't sure how long he would be gone, and I did not ask him so he would not feel under pressure to rush through his dealings to get back to me. My father smiled at me, and we walked into the mansion carrying the twins. "You have to adjust, Princess," My father said, sensing my sadness. "He is an active Alpha now. It won't get any easier. He would have to go for meetings and sometimes spend days and weeks away from you. I know you two are attached to one another, but you have to find something to occupy yourself with or depression will set in." He advised me. I could not say a word because tears were stinging my eyes. It used to be just us, and now it might just be the children and me. "Join me for dinner, Princess." My father said, and I nodded. I did not want him to see my eyes or know I was crying. The nannies came to get the twins for their bath, and I went to the Alpha's room. It was too massive for me. It felt very
Jasper. I got to Lakewood in the evening. I should have left home earlier, but I wanted to spend some time with Ruby, and Leon really was trying to balance himself. It was hard leaving her like that because I knew I would have to do it more often, and I wondered how well she would handle it. I knew she was holding a lot in, and I wished she would open up to me sometime. It was crazy how twenty-four hours in Brooksbridge had stirred up specific fears in both of us. I hoped we would get through it. I had asked Brain to keep an eye on her and make sure she was cared for and safe. Raymond couldn't do much there, and the pack members were a bit difficult, stubborn and disrespectful. If it weren't for my show of ruthlessness towards Allan, they might have tried to undermine my authority. Brooksbriodge pack members believed they were made of premium stuff. The whole ranking thing had gotten to their heads, and they had absolutely no respect for anyone outside their pack. The pack's misgiv
Ruby. Dinner was great, and my father was genuinely happy that Glenda was with us. He had a lot of questions for her, and she gladly answered. It was clear that the woman was lonely and in need of company. I wondered about the trauma she went through all these years. While we talked and laughed, I had to ask her the question that troubled me. "Why did Grigory lock you up, Glenda?" I asked her because they were both in the cells when we took over the pack. She put down her wine glass and bowed her head. I had touched her wrongly. My father shot me a mean glance, but I needed to know for my sake and Jasper's sake. It was my duty to know all that was happening. "Please, Glenda. I do not mean to offend you, I know it might be challenging, but I need you to tell me why. I want to learn the truth from you and not the malicious people of this pack", I asked, and she looked at me with teary eyes and nodded. She understood my point. If the evil people of this pack had to tell me, they mig
Ruby. "Jasper?" I said, a bit stunned. I did not know how to feel. "I .. I..." I said, feeling sorry about the kick, and he laughed and climbed into bed. "Sorry, Ru. I couldn't sleep in Lakewood. After dinner and the games, I decided to come back home," he said, feeling amused about my reaction. I hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry, baby," I said, and he patted my back. "Who did you think it was?" He asked, knowing I kicked him because I thought he was someone else. "I honestly thought it was Brian," I said to Jasper, and he began to laugh. "Kira knew it was me," he pointed out, and I was mad at my wolf, but it was sudden. I went to bed alone with the mindset that my mate wouldn't return until the following day. Then I woke up in darkness to someone eating my pussy. I only reacted the way I was supposed to. "You came back?" I asked him, realising he had cut his trip short. "Yes, Ru. I couldn't leave you by yourself. I missed you and seeing Randolph and Racheal interact got to m
Jasper. Ruby's reaction when I arrived was incredible. I did not know she could go from moaning to self-defence mode in seconds. The kick to my face was done with the intent to cause damage. If Brian had been the one, she might have killed him. Her eyes were wild and angry, and I couldn't blame her. I was not supposed to be home yet, so she wouldn't be expecting me to be between her legs eating her. Ruby acted accordingly. BEFORE THE KICK!! After the game, Randolph offered me a room, but just like Kevin, I declined and asked the driver to take me back home. Randolph could understand, and he laughed a bit when I was about to leave. Seeing him with Racheal made me realise I shouldn't be away from my mate. Although it was midnight, I gathered the courage to call Maxwell and make a request. He answered after a few rings, and I was glad he picked. "Hey Max," I said to my human father figure, and he sounded a bit grumpy. "Jasper it's midnight; I can't get to you or shoot anyone from her
Jasper. I watched Linda for a while, and she looked extremely nervous. My facial expression must have said it all. I wasn't pleased with her suggestions. "Did I ask you for sexual advice?" I asked her, and she shook her head. "Did I complain to you about my sexual desires and needs?" I asked her, and she shook her head. "Did I imply that I wasn't satiated and satisfied?" She shook her head. "Did I request that I need young women to warm my bed?" I said to her, and she became scared. "Ruby and I have come a long way, Linda. I am speaking to you like this out of respect. Would your girls have happily warmed my bed to keep me centred when I was a nobody working as a carpenter and living in the outskirts of town, nameless, packless and broke?" I asked, and she couldn't answer my question. "When I got together with my mate, she accepted me and loved me regardless. I was content with that life. I did all of this for her and my children. Don't you think I will be hurting myself by hurt
