Jasper. We emerged from the forest and found a search party. They said Ruby put them to it. It was evident that the settlement was in disarray. I could understand their fear. We had disappeared without warning, no phone calls, nothing. We went into the woods to neutralise a threat and did not return; I could imagine how the explanation would sound to our mates. I dreaded what would happen to me in our bedroom. Ruby was bound to be mad, and I wouldn't blame her. "The pack loves you, Nikolas," Uncle Abel said, and I sighed. This was all his fault; he should have just escorted us back instead of being dramatic and ushered us to his camp. Now we all had explaining to do. I felt sorry for Randolph and Ian most. Kevin and I had it good because our mates were understanding. Brian had none, so he was alright. "We walked toward the mansion, and the women were waiting at the entrance. Someone must have linked Ruby about our arrival. With how they were dressed, it seemed as if they were ready
Jasper. Ruby and I did not fall asleep immediately, but I did not discuss the issues with the council Law any further. I understood her point of view, and I did not want to force her to see things my way. We slept in the early morning hours while watching a movie, and I did not intend to do any work the next day. I woke up to the smell of food. From the scent, I knew it did not come from the kitchen. Ruby arranged the food at the breakfast table, and I smiled at her. "Finally awake," she said, and I noticed her hand was okay. Whatever the doctor gave her worked. "The guys have come to check on you twice already. Your uncle is eager to see you," She said, and I got up and went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and returned. Hugging Ruby from behind, I kissed my mark on her neck, and she giggled. "I decided to cook. I missed it," she said, looking at the spread. It looked precisely like Livingston. "I know you miss our farmhouse," I told her, and she was silent because she did no
Jasper. After the meeting in the lounge, I decided to take a walk with my uncle. It was vital for him to understand that I did not intend to overthrow the council. There were laws against it, and I doubted if I wanted to be on the wrong side of the law. It was annoying that the council did not want to help with the attacks and Petra's cult, but I did not want to work against them. "You have a good thing going on for you here, Jasper," he said, calling me Jasper for the first time. I guess he caught on that the people closest to me referred to me as Jasper and not Nikolas, as he had been saying. "Navel was proud of you. I heard you held your wolf form for two months. That is unheard of. The max I have heard is a month." He said, and I laughed. "My son Garnet held form for six weeks, and it would have been longer if it was because of his twin," I said, and he looked at me, surprised. "You mean Ruby birthed strong pubs?" he asked, and I laughed. "An Alpha and Gamma," I said, and he
Jasper. I returned to my office to deal with pack matters while uncle Abel returned to his pack members at the hotel they were staying at. We were yet to get proper accommodation for them. I sat at the desk and thought of all he had discussed with me. My uncle had his point about the council, but cleansing the board would be challenging and could cause war. I always try to avoid war by all means, and this would definitely be a bad one if I dared to set things in motion. It was best that I did not bother and just handled what was needed. Which was Petra's cult. I called a meeting, and Randolph was the first to arrive. Kevin was far away, and Brain and Ian were busy working on the security details. Randolph sat on the couch and lifted a magazine from the stool on the side of the sofa. The guy looked depressed, and I had been hoping he would open up. "Is everything alright with you?" I asked him, and he looked at me and smiled. He looked troubled; I knew it was either pack issues o
Ruby. Jasper's uncle had entertained us with his stories. Still in the entertainment mood, we decided to have a small tea get-together in the lounge close to Jasper's office. I did not want to be couped up in the room. My arm had healed, and I felt it would be best to stay closer to Jasper's office. Besides, that was also where Noelle's classroom was. Her knitting and quilting classes had made her a lot of money. I also helped her once in a while. Walking from my bedroom to Noelle's classroom was tedious, so I stayed there. I ordered the staff to bring us tea and snacks, which was nice. We did not want Nala there because she wasn't a part of us. She was crude and uncouth, but we knew we had to tolerate her. Racheal wasn't looking very happy, and from all indications, she and Randolph had had a major fight. We did not want Nala with us, but we tried to be polite. " How does being a Luna feel like?" Nala asked Racheal and me, and I smiled at her. Cindy got up to serve the tea, and I
Jasper. It had been two weeks, and our guests were finally leaving. The fact that Petra's group was quiet made us nervous because we couldn't tell what she was up to or where she had moved to. The fact that Lakewood or Derbyshire might be her next stop got us nervous, and it was time for them to return so they could manage their territories. Rachel had gotten a characteristics Study expert for her twins to give them a hint of their breed. I believed it was unnecessary and misleading. I also believed Randolph should make peace with himself on the matter and enjoy the life he had at the moment, but the Hills were hell-bent on figuring out the type of wolf their daughters would have. Characteristics study isn't accurate; they warn and say it is based on speculations. Why would anyone want to make a significant decision based on Speculation? Other breeds can be authoritative and strong too. The only thing an Alpha Breed has over others is domination which comes in handy when people don'
Jasper. I could not believe the council came to ask for my help. I sat on my chair and stared at the four people the council sent to me, trying to determine my response to their request. I leaned forward and looked at Brenda. "Mr Paul Willis and Janet Olsen came here from the council three weeks ago and said that the ace wolves were my problem and that the council would not step in unless it becomes a general problem," I said and leaned back in my chair while rubbing Ruby's back. "I am sorry he came across as offensive, but we have a policy that unless four or more packs have the same issue, we are not to step in," Brenda explained, and I smiled at her. "Very well then, I no longer have the same issues as I did three weeks ago. Mr Willis gave me the sense to be resourceful, and I have resolved the matter. The council can feel free to step in for the rest of the pack," I said to her, and her eyes widened. "These wolves are your kind, you know the other packs and their alphas don't
Ruby. I was now a part of the decision-making, and most people were yet to adjust to it, but they couldn't do anything about it. Jasper was doing much to help me gain respect in Brooksbridge, and I appreciated him. Most of the women loved me. The few hated me because they wouldn't get a chance with my mate. They had hoped that Jasper would follow in the same fashion as his uncle, and some of them still did. I could just imagine what was going on in their minds. They sized me up and expected I would crack under sexual pressure, but they were wrong. What kept Jasper and I together was beyond sex. It was unconditional love and understanding. As for the sex part, my appetite was wilder than his. I wanted more, and sometimes I knew it took extra on his part to keep up. Glenda wasn't lying when she said Grigory was wrong to think she wouldn't be able to handle it. Whenever Leon is stressed, I can feel it, and I know exactly what to do to calm him down. It works all the time. Sitting down in
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
