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,
Ruby. Jasper and I had a wonderful month of peace and tranquillity. It felt good to finally be free. No one was hunting us, and we did not need to hide away. We weren't packless anymore, and all the things that used to plague our lives and disrupt our happiness were gone completely. The fight with Grigory scarred me. I had nightmares about Jasper. They pulled the plug in my nightmares, and he never woke up. That was a possible outcome; I was glad it never happened. Often Jasper would wake me up to assure me he was still with me, and I will hold him to thank my stars for keeping him with me. We never really discussed the content of my dreams, and by the third week, the frequency of the nightmares had reduced immensely. Hopefully, they would stop altogether. When Brian called Jasper, I knew our vacation was over. I had been dreading going to Brooksbridge, but I knew our trip to the pack was inevitable. I was from Lakewood, so Brooksbridge people would have no respect for me. I had s
Jasper. I could not believe the head maid had the nerves to suggest that Ruby and I stay in separate rooms because I would need privacy to screw other women. I might have to dismiss her because it was clear she had no respect for her Luna. Grigory might have had a certain way he ran the pack, but I was different, and my mate should be accorded the same respect like me. I will not tolerate anyone disrespecting Ruby like that. I will not have it. I noticed that Raymond brought Deltas from Lakewood to care for the twins; I linked him to thank him. That was quick thinking on his part. With the way, the women of Brookbridge were looking at me. Hopefully, I did not want to trust them with my children. Randolph wasn't joking when he said women would begin to hit on me openly. It was bad enough when I was a nobody. A woman had made my life hell because I refused her; now I knew it would be worse. I did not plan on overlooking advances from them. By the time I made examples of a few, they wo
Ruby. I woke up tired. The bedroom was dark, and it felt unfamiliar. It was an excess of luxury with a lot of space. I had never slept in a room this big or luxurious before, and Jasper and I always kept things simple and cute. The sheets around me were cold, and I knew Jasper had left the room for a while. I turned on the lamp at the side of the bed and looked around, and a cold breeze washed through me; I felt lonely. I checked my phone for the time, and it was three in the morning. Why wasn't he in bed? Getting up, I went to wear a night dress and covered my body with a robe because it was too sexy for me to be roaming around the big mansion. I was barefoot, and I did not think it mattered. I stepped out and tried to link the delta nannies my father brought for me. Luckily one of them was still awake. She described where the children's room was, and I was surprised that the children's room was next to ours. It was big too and filled with a lot of unnecessary things. Garnet and Em
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
