Jasper. We sat in isolation, waiting and counting down the hours. We were all nervous and scared. We knew facing Grigory wouldn't be easy, but our lives depended on it. I honestly did not want to die, I had so much to live for, but we could not let Grigory continue the way he was. The man had made himself a god. He had placed himself above the law, and no one was willing to call him out on it. When he challenged Randolph, it was for the sake of his ego because Randolph had offered to pay his taxes, but the bastard knew he could beat the Alpha werewolf and had decided to challenge him. His pride was what made him accept my challenge and merge the fights. I hoped for our sakes it would be a big mistake. "Kevin, you need to calm down," Randolph said, and Kevin sighed, "Easy for you to say. My mate is heavily pregnant. I.." he said. I knew he could not finish the statement because he was panicking. Talking about fighting Grigory was different from actually fighting him. The seclusion
Ruby. The battle was intense, and I had my heart in my mouth. When Grigory's wolf locked his jaws on Bruce, a scream escaped my lips, and I wanted to jump into the fight, but it was against the rules. I watched Leon lunge at Grigory, forcing the wicked wolf to let go of my brother's wolf. Leon crashed hard to the ground and was having trouble getting up. The strength Grigory wielded was out of this world. I was worried for Jasper, Kevin, and Randolph. I knew Leon was strong, but his power was waning. I could feel it. Alexei rammed into Grigory, taking him off course and knocking him down. I heard Alexie whimper at the impact – the blow harmed him, too. Was Grigory made of steel? Leon managed to get on his feet, and I noticed he was limping. I wanted to link him to surrender, but I held on, knowing Jasper wouldn't back down. I felt it in my soul that my mate wanted to kill Grigory, but at what cost? Alexie got up, and so did Grigory's wolf, but Bruce stayed down unconscious. The crow
Ruby. I tried not to panic as we rode to the hospital. Jasper tried to stay calm about his bleeding, but I couldn’t. Something was wrong, and it needed more than his natural healing to fix it. The ambulance carrying Kevin was in front of us, and my father was in his car trailing behind. A convertible was behind him, and I wondered who was driving it. Whoever it was really cared about us. “We need to hurry,” I said. I knew that we were already going as fast as we could. I wished I could fly or maybe teleport or even develop super healing powers. “Please, Jasper, stay with me,” I said, begging. “Ruby,” he managed to say between coughs, and I shook my head, telling him not to speak.He touched my hands, a bit relaxed. Randolph was awake. His wolf had time to recuperate while he was unconscious during the fight, but he hadn't healed enough to be out of harm's way. Racheal almost broke down, but I linked her to be strong. This was not the time for tears. Our mates needed our strength to
Jasper. Ruby was overwhelmed with joy when I woke up. I could see it in her eyes. She must have been afraid. I could not believe it was all over. I was a free man now. My family and I can now live in peace without fear or worry that our lives might be in danger. I looked at my mate, and I had never seen her smile so much. She was genuinely happy. I promised myself I would make it work, and the goddess blessed me. Ruby snuggled into my arms on the hospital bed, and I could not help but laugh. “Don't scare me like that, Jasper. I was..” she said, remembering. I held her close. “Don’t think about it anymore, Ruby. I am here; we are here. We won,” I said and kissed her deeply. I broke off the kiss to wipe away her tears. “I am sorry I did not tell you,” I apologized to her, and she nodded, still trying to catch her breath. “I know you saved my life,” I told her, and she looked at me, surprised. She must have thought I had passed out completely, but I was still conscious when Grig
Jasper. Ruby and I joined Randolph and Racheal the next day. Maxwell had called to inform me they would come and get us in two hours so we could go to Brooksbridge. Ruby was nervous about the trip, and so was I. "Noelle said Emerald and Garnet ran a fever last night, but they are okay now. She just wanted us to know that they are fine." Ruby said while we sat on the couch in our old apartment. "Ask her to bring them," I said, and she shook her head. "I think it was the journey that caused it. She brought them when you were in the ICU, and I asked her to take them back to Lakewood even though my father insisted that they remain so he could spend time with them. Let us finish up at Brooksbridge and then return to Livingston. Kevin and Cindy are there, and I am sure Racheal and Randolph will join them soon because of Susan and Isabelle," she said. I sat back and relaxed. Randolph and Racheal arrived, smiling. "I see you like it here?" I asked Randolph because he had no reason to sti
Ruby. We arrived in Livingston in the afternoon. The three of us were tired, but I could not wait to hold my babies in my arms. Noelle's news had scared me more than I had let on, but there was no way I was letting Jasper out of my sight. He had escaped me and almost got himself killed once; I wasn't going to let that happen again. Everything was still like a dream. I was Luna of two packs. Who would have ever guessed that would be my fate? We arrived at the house, and there were several cars parked outside. I was worried, and I left Jasper and ran inside. My heart was in my mouth, but to my surprise, it was the people of Livingston, and they had come to congratulate Cindy. I saw her and Kevin with three babies. I rushed to Kevin. "When? How? Why didn't you tell me?" I asked my brother, taking one of them from him. "I wanted it to be a surprise," he said with teary eyes. He was delighted. "Two boys and one beautiful girl, Ruby," he said to me, and I smiled at him. The content i
Jasper. I stood by the door and looked at my beautiful mate while she snuggled between the sheets. She looked at peace, and a brief smile touched her lips. We were happy. I never knew what peace and freedom would feel like until I found it. I moved towards the bed, wondering if I should wake Ruby up or not. "Jasper," Ruby breathed with her eyes still shut. Was she talking in her sleep? I waved my hands slightly in front of her face thinking she would wake, but nothing happened. She was calling my name in her sleep. I know I might have overdone it last night, but I couldn't help myself. I hoped she wasn't sore because I might just go at it again before we leave for Brooksbridge. It has been a month since I officially took over both packs. We kept postponing our return as leaving Livingston was hard for all of us. But last night Brian called with some issues at Brooksbridge and I knew we had no choice but to return. I never really wanted any of this. I wished I did not have to kil
Jasper. I could not believe what I had just heard. Who was this Pavel, and what the fuck did he want. Where was he when his father went mad and terrorised the entire country? Why didn't he pull out a family challenge then? Why now? "Can he do that?" I asked Raymond, and he sighed. "He shouldn't, but you did not spare him because you did not know he existed." He said. "Shouldn't that disqualify him?" I asked Raymond. "It should, and I doubt he has two hundred million plus stashed away somewhere," he said, and I sighed. "So, what is the problem?" He asked. "He might find a way to still challenge you, Jasper," He confessed, and I wondered what this was all about. "Where was he when his father was terrorising everyone?" I asked, and my house was suddenly quiet because everyone was listening. So I would not have to explain myself, I walked back to the table and put Raymond on speaker. "The fucker is trying to be sneaky. I heard he is thirty-three years old, so he is older than you,
Jasper THREE WEEKS LATER Donald and Bryce were judged and sentenced to death. They had brought danger upon the people they were to protect for personal gains. If it weren't for them, Tammy would not have gained ground and visited so much evil upon our people. To think the bastard called for a meeting in Brooksbridge and tried to strip me of my authority and rank because I refused to fight Tammy alone. Looking back on that day, I now understood why he wanted me and Randolph to provide all the warriors to help fight and rescue the captives. He wanted to weaken my defence and force me to leave my home bare so that Tammy could come and wipe out my family just as she tried to. What they did not expect was for us to find Petra. They also underestimated my Luna, which ended up being a big mistake on their part. The goddess had helped us where Petra was concerned because I saw the effect of her powers. It was strange. Apparently, her mother's bloodline had weird abilities. I wondered how he
Jasper. The nurses interrupted my sleep. It was nine in the morning, and I knew I should be up, but I guess the stress had worn me out entirely and caused me to sleep longer than I would have. I was still a bit sleepy, but I had to prepare for the day and excuse the nurses. They had come to clean Ruby up and dress her wounds again. This would be our routine until she can clean herself up. I exited the bathroom and saw the nurses using a wet towel and clean water to clean her skin. Ruby smiled at me. "I feel like a baby, Darling," she said, making light of the situation, and I smiled at her, but I knew my smile did not touch my eyes. Until Tammy felt the pain. I would not rest. I kissed Ruby and; left the room. Ian, Brian, Kevin, Randolph, Abel, Maxwell and Raymond were waiting for me in the office. Linda was there too and wondered what she was doing there. It was clear the men were eager to question the bitches we had tied up. As for Ian, I knew his beef was with Nala and David. I w
Jasper. The route we took was bumpy, but it was the shortest route. The fact that the phone network was nonexistent on that route made me mad. Apparently, Tammy had another willing informant in Brooksbridge. Nala said it was a woman, but she did not know her name. I wondered who it might be. Whoever it was, had just endangered the lives of my family and friends. There weren't serious warriors in Brooksbrige, meaning Tammy would have it easy. The only thing that made me relax and calm was that Ruby had answered the call, and she seemed alright. I bet Tammy did not expect we would be able to use a shortcut home. I urged the driver to move faster and the ones behind to follow quickly. Randolph and Kevin were nervous. Abel and Maxwell were worried too. We all had stakes in Brooksbridge. It wasn't an easy wait. We finally arrived, and the sight of the destruction at the entrance of Brooksbridge put my heart in my mouth. I called Ruby, and her phone was switched off. Randolph called Rachea
Ruby. I was nervous about the mission, but I knew it was necessary. There was no point worrying about it. The ace wolf menace had become an issue. I remembered the women at the camp and their various towns that had been attacked by the ace wolves. I knew if we continued to allow Petra and her cohorts to expand, our country would become a war zone like Nirvana. None of us wanted that. We had children, and it was vital for them to live in a safe and peaceful country. The numbing medication Doctor Marvin injected in my wrist had worn off, and I could feel the pain. Because it was silver, we were healing slowly. Shifting wasn't advisable until our wrists were healed completely, indicating that our body had expelled the poison. I cursed at Gamma David and Nala and hoped they catch them. It would have been great if Ian had followed uncle Abel so he could deal with both of them because I saw the pain of her betrayal in his eyes. But the arrangement was okay. As long as there are results, i
Jasper Petra ushered us into her apartment, and I was very uncomfortable. There was no way I could fight and kill a teenager; it was just all wrong. "How did you find me?" She asked, opening a mini fridge and bringing out some sodas. She offered us seats, served us and sat on a couch in the living area. "Not important. What I want to know is why you are doing this?" I asked her, and she smiled a bit, and then her smile dropped. She looked at the three of us as if we were beneath her, then she shrugged and sighed. "Half-breeds," she sneered, and I did not know how to respond. It honestly felt weird. "Why are you stressing yourself, Alpha?" she asked, and I frowned at her. "There was a time we ruled. We did not have to bow to the council or the inferior wolves. We owned and controlled everything. Now we have to hide in the shadows for fear of death," She said, and I wondered who had been schooling her. "Who told you all of this?" I asked. "Come to Nirvana, Alpha, and you will se
Jasper. The doctor came as scheduled to help Ruby, Racheal, and Cindy remove the bracelets Tammy embedded in their skins. Although Ruby urged us to leave already, I wanted to be sure she would be able to access her wolf while I was away. Besides, the original plan was to wait and have it removed before we left for our mission. Now that we would have to leave them behind, I still had to be sure that the silver would be taken out. Our new doctor, Marvin, was the one in attendance. He seemed a bit nervous about examining Ruby's hands, I told him to relax. This was the first time he would attend to the Luna, and my presence wasn't helping either, but I couldn't help it. I had to know. I wasn't the only one present; Randolph and Kevin were there too. Randolph was mad about Tammy's precautions against our mates, especially Racheal. She was very harmless even with her wolves, yet they still clamped the silver on them. It was advantageous because it made them depend on their brains instead o
Jasper. I did not expect the alphas and hunters to respond the way they did when I reached out to them about ending the ace wolves' terror. We did not tell them our mates were back yet, nor did we disclose the factual information, but they appreciated the plan of attacking a hideout. We intended to strip them of all communication devices when they arrive to avoid information leakage. I had thought Bryce's decree would work against Randolph and me, but I was wrong. It seemed everyone just wanted to end the nightmare the ace wolves brought us. As things were, we all had the same stakes. There was no doubt he was loyal. Ian walked into my office, cleaned up and was ready to lead a fight, and I smiled at him. He told me about what Tammy requested of him, and I was proud that he did not give them a hint about Ruby's arrival. They had denied him from speaking to Nala the following evening, and he had pretended to be frantic. There was a possibility they had caught on, or they were tryin
Ian. Nala had hurt me so many times, but this was the worst. Joining forces with the enemy to work against my brother was the height of things. Jasper did not have to take us in, he did not have to give me a rank, and he did not have to help, yet he did. What more did she want? We belonged to a pack, and I was the third most important wolf there. Yet she felt it wasn't enough. She gave me hell for not challenging an Alpha and taking over a pack, and then I hear she is screwing a Gamma. The woman was a confused bitch. I honestly loved her. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. I saw all her destructive behaviours, but I overlooked them because I knew I could deal with them. I knew she made passes at Jasper and his friends, but I also knew they wouldn't spare her a glance. She wasn't as attractive as she thought, and they had beautiful mates they were devoted to. Above all, they respect the fact that she was with me. I had just met Jasper, but I loved my little brother compl
Jasper. Ian growled and howled for a bit while holding his son. His soul was pained. His wolf was enraged. I knew Nala was a bitch, but I did not realise the extent of her wickedness until now. We had spent a lot of energy looking for that bitch. She had spoken to him at night, lying about her situation. Ian had felt guilty for her predicament. How could we have guessed that she was in on it? Warming another man's bed and plotting against all of us. What would drive her to do such a thing? I went to console Ian. Uncle Abel and I patted him slowly. "Good riddance. Glad you got your baby. Do not let it get to you." Abel told him, and Ian was calming down. "That woman was no good, Ian. She had tried to fuck all of us here while pregnant. She never loved you. You were just a tool for her." Kevin said. "She likes to bully people, Ian, and you afforded her that luxury; the moment she knew she couldn't bully anyone here, she got apprehensive," Cindy told him. "You should see her at the
