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
Ruby. I could not believe that we would be meeting up with Racheal and Cindy. I was very eager to see them. Other than Jasper, I have been starved of company. Glenda was incredible, but a bit too mature and serious for my liking, and my father always gave me advice on how things are done and not to make Jasper look stupid. I also have to deal with avoiding Brian. I guess he noticed because I started seeing less of him. The worst I had to deal with at Brooksbridge was changing the service staff. When Jasper told me that they were actually whores and Annika was the biggest one, I knew I had to get rid of all of them. It was weird how women would allow themselves to be used that way because the man was powerful and wealthy. No one was going to take my Jasper from me! Not like it would be possible, but I just wanted to make sure we got everything right, for Leon's sake. A week ago, I called all the service staff and had them line up in a single file in the garden. Looking at them, I re
Jasper. Randolph and Racheal arrived before us, and I couldn't wait for the six of us to get together and catch up on events. As soon as we arrived at the Alpha house, I carried Ruby straight to our bedroom. Ruby and I were happy to be away from Brooksbridge and all their problems. "All those admirers," Ruby said, teasing me, and I smiled. "You should see the way the men were staring at you," I said to her, and she giggled. I loved it when she smiled. Ruby's joy is always a reminder that I kept the promise I made to myself, that I would not make her regret falling in love with me. I reached for her while she laughed and kissed her sweetly, then rested my head against hers. "I love you, Ru, and I will always show you how much," I said, and she kissed me in response. The way she came to me in the office the night before still lingered in my mind, and things like that reminded me just how much we are a match. I intertwined my fingers with hers and pinned her to the bed. Leon wanted to
Ruby. I woke up at 4 AM and found Jasper's side of the bed empty; he never came to bed. I wondered what they were discussing that would make them stay up so late. I tried to link Jasper but couldn't reach him. He wasn't nearby. I got off the bed, wore my robe, and went to the living room. Randolph and Kevin were still there, pacing worriedly. "Kevin, where is Jasper?" I asked my brother, and he looked at me, trying to compose himself, and I frowned. "What happened? Where is he?" I asked with fear rising in me. "Where is Jasper?" I asked, and Kevin came to hold me. "You need to calm down, Ruby. He went hunting," he said, and I pulled away from him. "Hunting?" I asked, confused. "Why did he go hunting at this time? He needs to rest," I said. Kevin sighed, not knowing how to tell me the truth. I knew that look. Maxwell had it the night of the fight with Murray. "You left him to go out there alone?" I asked, tears streaming down my face. "What if he doesn't come back?" I asked and
