Ruby. The ladies and I went to Westwood Inn to visit Gina. She was planning my wedding after all, so we were going there to decide on the cake flavour, dress and other things. We were also going there to relax and get away from our men. I have never been happier than I am right now. Jasper had come through all the way. I loved him so much, and seeing everything going on, I knew I had it good. It would have been worse, but Jasper made it good, and I was forever grateful to him for it. I introduced the girls to Gina, and she was amazed by how pretty my friends were. "You three seem to have superior beauty genes," she said in her country accent, and we laughed at her praise. Gina and her husband Tom did not know of the supernatural world, but they were amazing humans. To them, we were humans, and I had warned Racheal and Cindy to keep it that way. They were to refer to their mates as husbands and never make any reference to packs or territories; towns and counties were more like it.
Jasper Randolph, Kevin and I returned home in the evening and found the house lit romantically. Our mates were in sexy short satin house robes. Ruby looked hot in red. She knew what that colour did to me. We did not expect to meet them at home because we expected them to spend most of the time at the inn doing what women do when they are together. But here they were, ready and waiting. The twins had been tucked in, and I knew they had prepared for a wild night. We had our work cut out for us. Luckily, I had made us shower at the outhouse I created for the workshop workers to freshen up before going home. Looking at Ruby in the hot robe she was wearing, I was glad we showered before coming. Ruby came to kiss me, and I took in her sweet scent. Leon wanted to ravage her, but I had to control myself. I doubted Ruby would want me to take her in front of everyone. From the way they moved. They had planned it, and the fact that they were acting oblivious about what they were doing as if it
Ruby It was two days before the wedding. The dress Gina made fitted perfectly well, and so did the ones she made for Racheal and Cindy. The burgundy gowns were breathtaking. I did not get an entirely white dress. I got a white that faded to peach with a moderate train. Most of the dress was net and lace. It covered but gave the illusion of exposure. It was a lovely dress, and I thanked Gina for it. I did not pick it. Gina was the one that decided to surprise me with a dress when I was finding it challenging to select from the bridal magazines she gave me. It was difficult making a decision just by going on the pictures. The only bridal shop close by was in the next county, and we were not welcomed there. That was the county Jasper wanted us to settle in. It was more beautiful and more developed than Livingston County, but the hunters there did not want us to live there, and I doubted if the people there were as kind as those in Livingston. One thing I admired the people of Livingston
Ruby I felt someone pull the covers from my body. It was difficult to open my eyes, but I finally did. It was Racheal, and she was saying something. I was yet to make out her words. I slept immediately after I returned to bed in the early hours, but I was exhausted even then. "You reek of Jasper, Rub. We have a wedding to get to," she said, and I remembered that today was the day. I managed to get off the bed and hurried to the shower. While I stood under the warm shower, I thought of my night with Jasper, and I could not help but smile. I knew I was blushing. I felt it. Jasper made me feel like a schoolgirl over again. Who would have thought That I would feel this way about him? I was blessed to have him. I remembered how he looked in the barn that was now his workshop. He was so hot and sexy, and the night kept playing in my head. I could not wait to have this wedding over with. I exited the shower and returned to the room. "Where are Isabelle and Susan?" I asked Racheal, and
Ruby A week after the wedding. Jasper and I had just woken up when we heard Racheal and Randolph arguing. The twins were crying, and Racheal was going at it. I got up to wear my house robe, and Jasper wore his shorts and t-shirt to follow. I had never heard them fight before, this was the first time, and their argument seemed heated. I got to the door of their room and knocked. The moment I knocked on the door, they went quiet, but the twins were crying. They were supposed to head back to Lakewood that day. I wondered why they were arguing. Racheal opened the door, and I saw her puffy eyes. She had been crying. "What is the matter, Ray?" I asked her, and she sobbed and hugged me. I looked at Randolph. His eyes were crimson, and his hands were shaking. He seemed hurt too. Jasper walked in and went to him. "What happened?" Jasper asked Randolph, and Randolph looked at Racheal, who was still sobbing over my shoulder. I pulled her away and tried to maintain eye contact to ask her wha
Jasper After breakfast, I went to the barn to sort things out. Kevin and Cindy were not home during the argument, so they did not know what had happened. They returned when it was time for breakfast. I did not bother to ask them where they went to because it was none of my business and no one told them about the argument between Racheal and Randolph. It was sad to see the two lovers fight. They loved each other so much, but Lakewood was trying to keep them apart. I had to commend Ruby for keeping it in. I knew if I had decided to stay, she would have supported my decision. Racheal had no faith in Randolph's ability to keep them safe, and that was bad for an Alpha. If his mate did not have faith in him, it meant he was not fit to lead. What Racheal did was impulsive and wrong. At that point, I realised she had a lot to learn about being luna; if not, she would end up proving everyone right. Ruby wouldn't have done that. Worse things had happened, and she never doubted my ability to k
Ruby The house felt a bit empty when our guests left, and honestly, the distance became clear to me, but this was what was best for Jasper and I. We were starting a family now. We did not need bad energy. Not wanting to feel lonely, I decided to go to Japer's workshop and see what I could help him out with. Getting there, I saw him shirtless, working on a plank of wood. I could not take my eyes off the muscles on his back. I knew I was drooling, but I couldn't help it. He had a noise protector around his ears, so I hoped he wouldn't hear me. I snuck behind him and hugged him from behind, using my hands to feel his body. He turned off the machine and touched my hands gently. "Ruby," he said in his deep voice and turned to look at me. He took off his goggles and bent to kiss me. Placing his hands on my belly, he looked at me and smiled. "You should be resting right now," he said, and I shook my head. "The house is lonely, and I have nowhere to go. I cleaned downstairs, and I decided
Jasper I should have kept my mouth shut. I should not have told Ruby about the situation. I should have found another reason for the name change, but I felt she deserved to know the truth. If anything happened to her, I would not forgive myself. She was sweating, and her body was shaking. Her body temperature was higher than usual, and even the medical staff were worried. This was a human hospital; there was a limit to what they could do for Ruby if the situation became serious. I kissed her hand and forehead while they ran the test. "I need you to calm down, Ru," I linked her, and she nodded, but I knew it was beyond her now. "We will have to sedate your wife, Mr Clearwater," Doctor Nickson said, and I had no choice but to agree. I watched Ruby sleep while her body tried to calm down. I held on to her hands, and Leon was sad and angry. This wasn't the life I wanted for my mate and children. She did not deserve this. Her fear reminded me of how bad our situation was. Ruby tried to
