Sorry about the delay. I am trying to refine the story, so it does not have plot holes. Please bear with me. Thank you for your love and support. Hugs
Ruby. I watched Jasper leave with Maxwell and my father, and I wished them the best. There was a time I wouldn't be bothered about his trip, but after his display at Derbyshire, I was bound to be worried. I wasn't sure anyone would be crazy enough to go after him if something happens and he bolts. I was really a mad woman, and I had resigned to die trying. No one loved him enough to do that for him. I prayed that whatever he went to do would not be stressful, and he would not have to fight anyone. Noelle decided to ask me to give her quilting classes. Brian had allocated a room in the mansion for her, and it was equipped with everything she needed. I love quilting because it gives me some form of peace. Teaching the women in the pack was going to be fun. I was amazed that the women had loosened up a bit and were more respectful than they were initially. I do not know what had happened, but I guess the staff I sacked had let them know the consequences of disrespecting me. It wasn't
Jasper. We finally arrived at Livingston and went to my farmhouse to settle and prepare the place for the meeting with Pavel. Raymond was surprised by the place. He found it amazing. We had caretakers on the farm taking care of the place and our horses, and the place still looked like a dream. It had only been a little over a month, but I missed our home dearly. Raymond was amazed by the interior of the house. When I told him Ruby made most of the things in the house, he got emotional. "You two really made a home for yourselves here," he said, and I smiled because I remembered how Ruby and I were before the Alpha nonsense. "Thank you, Maxwell, for giving them hope and a chance to build a life when I failed them." He said, and I knew that the man was yet to forgive himself for kicking his daughter out of his home. "I could not even protect her from my friend. Sometimes I lie awake in bed, realising the evil I had done. What if Jasper was a bad guy? I really failed my daughter. It i
Jasper. Brian answered immediately, and he sighed. "Ruby told you," he said, getting to the point, and I asked him to narrate what happened. He told me the same thing Ruby said, and I was stunned. "We stored it in the cold room as proof. It is time to call the council of hunters and werewolves. This is beyond us, Jasper. If there are more of these things about the place, we will need help. Ten to fifteen omegas can clear all our packs effortlessly. I could imagine what four Alphas, beta, gamma, or even Deltas would do. We can't go head-on with these things. Guns and bullets would be our best bet, and that is why we need hunters," he said, and I realised that the situation must be dire. "People think our kind is mean, dangerous and scary; our distant relative would make them reevaluate their impression of us, Jasper. This thing is evil-looking. The books have nothing on the live version," Brian said; I would have laughed if the situation wasn't so dire. "How did they resurface? I
Ruby. My arm hurt really bad, and the live-in doctor had to come to check on it. Glenda and Noelle stayed with me. Initially, the arm did not hurt as much until I realised I could not hold my babies with it. I had to miss playtime that evening. I contemplated calling Jasper about the event because I knew Brian would tell him, but I did not trust Brian, so I decided I would have to say it to him myself. I had already acted unnecessarily clingy before Jasper left, so I did not want him to think I was calling out of concern. I painfully waited until I was sure the six hours had passed, and then I called Jasper. I felt better after narrating the incident to him, but my arm still hurt, and I wondered why it hadn't healed. "It is healing, Ruby; you are just eager to play with the twins, that is why. You have also never been injured while Jasper was absent. I believe that is why your arm is hurting more than it should. You miss him, and it has just been seven hours." Glenda said, laughing.
Jasper Pavel, Nala and I moved toward the barbecue section. Maxwell was preparing the grill while Raymond was dressing the meat. "Done?" Raymond asked me, and I nodded. "He said he would think about it," I said aloud. "Will hate to see siblings fight for that piece of shit Pack," Maxwell said, and Raymond and I laughed. "Beer?" I asked Pavel, and he nodded. I pointed at the cooler for him to get one himself. " There is juice in there for your mate," I said, and he nodded. "Do you live here?" Pavel asked me, and I nodded. "This is my home. My mate and I lived here until I had to challenge uncle Grigory and kill him. Because of that, I had no choice but to move to Brookbridge, but this is my home." "If Brooksbridge was shitty like you try to make it, it seems you would have delegated the work to someone else and remained here with your mate," Nala said, and she got on my nerves a bit, but I tried to control myself. "I bet you are sitting on all that money.." she said, and Pavel
Jasper. I was elated when Pavel said he was willing to join me right away. I knew it would take some time for Nala to adjust, but I also knew that it would be difficult for her now, especially with Racheal in the mix. There was no way Randolph and Kevin were coming to Brooksbridge without their mates. I knew our mates would set her straight, but I kept it to myself since Pavel had not claimed her yet. I decided to give Pavel the room downstairs. I would feel guilty if I gave him Randolph or Kevin's room even though it was my house. "I need to go and get my stuff from the inn. Do you mind if I leave Nala with you?" Pavel asked me, and I looked at the woman on my couch. Honestly, I did not want to be alone with a vicious bitch, but I knew I had no choice. Raymond decided to spend the night in Maxwell's house. "Sure, Pavel, but you have to hurry," I said, and he laughed, understanding my reasons. "Please call me Ian. I only use Pavel for official purposes; it was also the name our fa
Jasper. I woke up early and got ready to leave. I linked Ian to do the same. They had hitched a ride to get to Livingston, which meant they would be coming with us in our vehicle. I did not want to sit in the back seat with Nala, so I decided I would plead with Raymond to sit in the back while I sat in the passenger's seat. Soon Maxwell and Raymond arrived, and it was time to leave. I microwaved some leftovers and handed them to Ian for his mate to have something to eat on our way back. I knew she could not endure six hours on the road without eating. "Thanks, Jasper. I was going to ask for it." Ian said, and I smiled at him. If only he knew he was trying too hard for the wrong chick. Ruby did not love me initially. She was too mad to even notice that I cared, but she never threw herself at others or pressured me to give her anything. When she came around, she was content with what I had. Nala was something else. She wanted more than Ian could afford, and I wondered how far she w
Jasper. "Get dressed, Ru," I said to my mate. I was yet to meet Randolph and Kevin, and I knew they would be up already, but I needed the doctor to check Ruby's arm. Ace wolves sometimes had venom in their saliva, especially the physically weak ones. I wanted to be sure Ruby wasn't poisoned. Although the poison is not fatal, it slows down a wolf's healing capacity, which is not good during battle because it means certain death. "I am tired, Jasper. Can't we just stay in bed? You just got back, for goodness sake," She complained, pouting. I went back to the bed where she was sitting and planted a wet kiss on her lips. "I need to ensure you were not poisoned by Ace wolf saliva. Your arm should have healed better than this by now," I told her, and she frowned at me. "Ruby, I just want to make sure you are okay. Brookbridge hospital has remedies for such things." I said to put her at ease because her face was riddled with worry when I told her what I suspected. She reluctantly got
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
