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
Ruby I couldn't believe my eyes. I was overwhelmed with joy. I looked at Jasper and realised he knew. He easily balanced the twins on both arms, and I smiled at him. He would be an excellent father, that much I knew. I linked him to thank him for the beautiful surprise, and he smiled back at me. "They brought cake!" I said, looking at the cake on the table, and Kevin smiled at me. He walked to me and hugged me. "Missed you, little sis," He said, and I returned the hug. He was the only family that stood by me and is still standing by me. I was grateful for him. Racheal led me to the sitting area, and Cindy cut a slice of cake for me. My feet were killing me, so I put them up. Jasper let go of the twins and came to sit next to me. He promised me a foot massage, and he was keeping it. We all laughed and talked about all that had happened. They teased us about our new names, which had somehow grown on us, and we laughed about it. It was amazing, especially when we told them we were
Jasper We left the women in the house and went to the workshop. I had nothing to do there, but I had a small barbecue section behind the barn that Ruby and I used once in a while when we had visitors. We had a lot of friends in Livingston that loved to visit during the weekends. Most of them were oblivious of our world and they were fun to be around, although Ruby and I had to be cautious about our choice of words. Recently Ruby made a new friend, Emily Whiterose. I doubted if that was her real name, but she opened up to us that she was running from her ex-husband, who wanted to kill her. Her story was quite disturbing, but she was safe in Livingston. I now understood why we were able to settle in well. It was because the majority of the people in that town moved there to start afresh. I had a fridge in the workshop that had beers in it. I kept the alcohol away from the house. It wasn't that Ruby was addicted to alcohol or she couldn't do without it, I just kept it out of there for
Ruby I was glad to have everyone with me. Racheal and Cindy were in charge of the kitchen. It reminded me of how Cindy and I had taken over the cooking several times while Racheal was pregnant. I leaned against the kitchen island with a glass of juice in my hand and stared at my friends, watching them argue about what spices to use and the best technique to prepare the food. I couldn't help but laugh. Racheal looked at me with an eyebrow raised. I knew Cindy had irritated her. Racheal had been so cranky since she came, and I knew something was bothering her, but I respected her silence and did not push. I intended to ask her eventually; we were best friends after all, and Racheal and I had come a long way together. I believed she would open up to me in due time. "What's so funny, Rub, or should I say, Cassy?" Racheal asked, and we all laughed at the joke. "It's funny watching you two argue. I remember Cindy and I used to cook at your house anytime we visited because you were pre
Jasper Our guest left after Randolph opened up to his mate about the current situation. I was worried that Ruby would be mad that I did not tell her. I had a lot of things that I was yet to tell her. My last name, my pack, and my breed. Sometimes I felt like shit whenever she told me so much, and I could only share a little. Her ability to sense other wolves' emotions was because she was carrying Ace wolves in her womb. The twins must have passed it on to her. I did not know if it was permanent or temporary. I wished there was someone I could call to explain the matter to me. The only person capable of doing that was Liam, and he was in hiding. If I contacted him, it would give away our position and endanger our lives. I did not want her to know my breed because I was afraid. Ace wolves were believed to go mad at a point. It was not true, but a general belief. As things were, I had to find a time to tell her. It would be painful if she learned of it from someone else. I felt sorry
Ruby. I had been worried since our guests left. I knew if it came down to it, Jasper would go and help, and I knew that none of them would survive it. Grigory could make such demands because he knew no one could face him. Jasper returned from the barn and held me from behind. The moment he touched me, I felt a kick, making me giggle a bit. " What is funny, Ru," He asked me, and I directed his hand to the part of my belly where I felt the kick. The twins kicked again as if knowing what we wanted, and we both laughed. We went to sit on the couch. I leaned into his arms. Something was troubling Jasper, but he did not want to tell me. I hoped he would open up to me soon because whatever was killing him must be important, and I wanted to share the burden with him. I turned toward him to speak, and he kissed me. I figured he had other things on his mind, and I was willing. I leaned close to his ears and whispered. "I have no panties, Jasper," he growled and put his hands under my dre
Jasper I watched Ruby lay in my arms. She looked beautiful, and her soft feminine feature made me run my fingers gently across her cheek. I could not believe that she would handle what I told her that well. Werewolves were always afraid of my kind because of the madness. I couldn't believe my luck with Ruby. She took it as if it were nothing and made me feel silly for keeping it from her. She even found a reason to smile about it, and it was unexpected. Watching her sleep, I promised myself to do everything within my capacity to keep a smile on her face and never let her down. I never want to be the reason for her pain and tears. Liam had always told me that there was someone out there for everyone. I would laugh often and say, 'Those beliefs are for dreamers'. Look at Ruby; I believe I was now one of those dreamers because I believed she was made especially for me. I rubbed her belly a bit, and I felt the twins kick. I couldn't wait to hold them in my arms. I watched Randolph inter
Jasper I woke in the morning and found Ruby wasn't in bed. I must have overslept. I went to freshen up in the bathroom. I wore shorts and a white t-shirt, hurried downstairs, and found that Ruby wasn't in the house. Instead, she left a note on the kitchen counter to tell me we were out of milk, and she went to the grocery store to buy milk. I wished she woke me up. I wasn't comfortable with her being by herself because of the new development. I did not know if someone was watching her. Ruby deleted all her social media accounts after she made the confession video. I hoped she did not have any picture of herself online. Thinking about everything, I became worried. What if they have her picture and grab her? The more I thought of it, the more restless Leon was, and I became concerned. Soon panic set in, and I took out my phone to call her. It took a while before it rang, but she did not answer. I tried calling her number again, and that was when I heard a faint vibration coming from
