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 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 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

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

POV Ruby"I can do this. I can do this. I HAVE to do this." I mumbled to myself as I wobbled out of my room. It was late or early, depending on your point of view. I had managed to send them all home a few minutes ago. Mom, Slivia and Cassy all wanted to spend the night but I had argued and Varg drove them home with promises that they would be back in a few hours. I knew that I had to be quick but I needed to see it. To be sure. I had overheard the doctor telling Mom where it was right before she left. He asked if she wanted a moment with the body but she refused. He explained that it would be moved to the morgue in an hour or so. I had quickly and quietly unhooked everything from me and slid out of the bed. My leg was in unrelenting pain but I had one thing left to do. I limped down the empty hallway. Luckily, the room was close to my own. I struggled to open the door when I heard the voice and froze. I closed my eyes. Of course, HE didn't leave. I should have known. "What are you
