POV RubyI looked around in alarm when I realized who had pulled up. While Nick had been nice to me, everyone else had warned me about how terrible he was. I didn't want anything to do with him. I just wanted to keep my distance from him and all the Reapers."Where are you headed to, blondie?" he asked me."Just heading home." I replied and he stepped closer."What about you?" I inquired just to be polite."I was headed over to the bar. Why don't you hop on and join me?" he demanded more than asked. I smiled but shook my head."No, thanks. I have to get home. The girls are meeting me soon." I explained and he glared."Oh, honey, I wasn't asking you..." he began and slid even nearer to me. I backed away and he smirked.Just as I was about to either get pissed off or panic, I heard another bike approach. He and I watched as a bike neared us and stopped. I braced myself for angry Wolf but was surprised to see an angry Jackal when the helmet came off."Ruby, get on the bike." he commanded

POV Ruby"Well, that was nice of Jackal." Cassy said with a smile after I told them what had happened."It sure was lucky that he showed up when he did." Don added and I nodded."I can't believe that Nick would try something like that. Wolf's going to kill him." Scarlett piped in."Yeah. Oh, well. He's a jerk." I stated and they all agreed. We were all in Cassy's room, getting ready for the dance. Don was helping with my hair as Scarlett and Cassy were working on theirs. Mom and Silvia yelled out as they came in and we called back. They poked their heads in the door."Do you kids need anything? How about a snack?" Silvia asked and we smiled."Of course! We'll bring you something. We can't have you go to the dance on an empty stomach." Mom said."Foxy just texted me. She want's to get ready with the boys. They want to pick us up an hour earlier so we can grab dinner. What do you think?" Scarlett asked us. Don looked at his watch."That'll only give us an hour..." Cassy began but Scarle

POV RubyWhen the song ended, Wolf sighed and let me go. We gathered our things and our friends and hurried outside just as my Mom pulled up. I ran towards the car as the door opened and Mac appeared. He laughed and caught me as I jumped at him."Ruby, my girl! I missed you!" he said as he spun us around."I missed you too, Mac!" I laughed and kissed him quickly on the lips."I'll see you kids later! Be good!" Mom called and waved as she pulled away. Mac put me down to hug Cassy and then Scarlett. He finally turned to the rest of our friends."Mac this is the rest of our friends. That's Hound and Don, aren't they cute?" I began. Don and Hound waved at Mac and he waved back."This is Foxy but hands off. She's Scarlett's gal." Cassy took over and Foxy blushed as Mac shook her hand."And that's Jackal and Wolf." V rushed through. I chuckled as she mostly ignored the boys. Jackal looked upset but Wolf was pissed. I knew that he wasn't happy about the way I greeted Mac."Boys. Thanks for t

POV WolfI smirked as I continued to kiss Ruby. Finally! my brain shouted. We kissed for a while longer until she finally pulled away again. I held onto her though. "We shouldn't do this, Wolf. You know that it won't end well..." she began."We don't know that. We could be perfect together." I sighed and she rolled my eyes."Yeah, we do. I can't deal with you being all controlling, Wolf. You can't do that to me." she replied with tears in her eyes and I melted. I couldn't stand to see her hurt."Baby, I'll try not to control you. It's not about controlling you anyway, it's about your safety. Keeping you safe and protected." I tried to explain and she sighed. "You don't understand. I've had a bad past. I can't fall into that again. I promised myself that I wouldn't. I just can't Wolfie. I want to but I just can't let you take over. I wouldn't survive it." She pleaded but I can't just let her go now that I have her.I shook my head and held her closer, "I can't give us up, baby. What

POV RubyTrigger Warning talk and illustration of abuseI can't believe that this is happening! How did he know that we were here?! A million thoughts raced through my brain as everyone turned to look at me. I looked at Mac and Scarlett and they nodded. Cassy leaned in and rubbed my back. I looked down and sighed with relief to see a new text from Cerise in response to the one I had just sent her."At least Cerise is safe." I said and showed Cassy. She nodded and gave me a small smile. I quickly sent a text to Cerise to stay where she was and to stay with friends at all times. I added that I would call her when I could. I wouldn't let my older sister be harmed again in all of this."What do you mean the 'reason you left Rose Hills'? You left because your Mom wanted a fresh start and got a new job." Wolf asked and I nodded."Yeah that's true but the 'fresh start' thing was a more dire than we let on..." I began and the rest of my friends looked confused."My Dad... The real reason my p

POV Ruby"What should we do, Varg?" Cassy asked and he looked at us."Can you tell where they are in that picture?" he asked and I nodded."Yeah. They're at our house. He said that I needed to come home or he would hurt them both. I need to go. He just wants me, I think. If I go, he'll let them go." I replied but Wolf tightened his arm around me and shook his head."NO WAY! You aren't sacrificing yourself. Who knows what he'll do. He can't be trusted." He yelled and Varg nodded."Wolf's right. Men like him will never be satisfied or happy. He'll take you and your sisters and your mothers. He'll never let them go willingly." Varg explained. Deep down I knew that he was right but I didn't know what else to do."I should call my Dad. He's the chief of the police. He can help." Don piped in. I shook my head."He said that if we call the police, he'll shoot them both the second he sees the cars." Cassy frantically explained. Varg frowned."We need to call the Sheriff. Don call him and let

POV WolfTrigger Warning: Abuse, Violence, Gun ViolenceI couldn't believe that I was doing this. I couldn't believe that I was driving the woman I love towards the dangerous man who has harmed her countless times before. All I wanted to do is turn around and drive her as far away as I can. Trust me the thought has crossed my mind more than once.But I knew that she truly would never forgive me. I saw in her eyes that she meant it when she said that. I also saw that she needed to do this. So I continued on. This is the hardest thing that I will ever do, I thought. When we were a block away from her house, I pulled over and shut off the bike. She got off the bike quickly but I grabbed her hand before she could walk away. "Wolf, I've got to go. I texted him to let him know that I'd be there in five minutes. If I'm late, he'll be even madder than he already is." she said and I nodded."I know. I just..." I trailed off, looking at her as I stood. Suddenly, I pulled her into me and kissed

Trigger warning Abuse, Violence, Gun ViolencePOV Ruby(Back when she was walking in the house)As I quietly walked towards the dining room, I could hear my father ranting."She's late. She knows that I hate it when she's late. I'll have to take care of her. I'll teach her." he muttered."Leave her alone!" Slivia yelled."Shut the hell up. You aren't her parent. You are a leech who took my wife and family when I wasn't looking. I should kill you right now!" he screamed as I walked through the door."Hello, father." I quietly said with my eyes downcast. I was trying to control my shaking. As much as I hate to admit it, this man terrified me but I couldn't leave my family to die at his hands. He whipped around to see me."Finally, you show up. You're late." he snarled as he backhanded me before I could see it coming. Instantly, I was on the floor, holding my face. I was transported right back to a little girl, innocent and hurt by the one man that was supposed to keep me safe. I took a
