POV 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 WolfThe EMT's showed up a few minutes after Ruby passed out. At least I hoped that she passed out. They first started to take care of Dale but my Dad stopped them."Take care of her first!" he commanded and luckily they obeyed. Jackal pulled me away from her so they could work on her as the second team appeared to work on Dale. The EMT's applied something to Ruby's leg and quickly got her on the stretcher. I followed them as they wheeled her outside. Her Mom along with Silvia, Cassy, Scarlett, Mac and Don were right outside the door."Ruby!" Cassy screamed as she saw her. Jackal ran to Cassy just in time to catch her as she fell."NO!" Cherry yelled. She ran to Ruby and followed her into the ambulance. I started to follow but Dad grabbed me."I'll bring the others to the hospital, Cherry. We'll be right behind you." Dad yelled. Cherry seemed to barely hear him but nodded slightly as she sobbed over Ruby."Slivia, do you have your keys? We'll have to take your SUV. I only have my

    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

    POV Wolf Cherry, Cassy, Slivia and Dad came back in the late morning and they and Ruby insisted on sending me home. After much arguing, Jackal showed up and practically drug me out of the hospital and back to my house."I'm just going to shower and change and then we are heading back." I said and he nodded."Fine, boss. Whatever." he agreed as we pulled up at the house."Some of the boys brought back everyone's bikes. The rest of the MC already gave their statements to the police with no problems. The cops said that they would be at the hospital this afternoon to talk to the rest of us. Hound, Mac, and Don are picking up Cerise at the airport and taking her right to the hospital. Scarlett and Foxy are at Foxy's house but they are heading to the hospital in an hour or so to bring everyone lunch." Jackal continued as we walked in."Thanks for taking care of everything. Dad's been handling Cherry and Silvia and I can't seem to let Ruby out of my sight." I replied. He looked confused and

    POV RubyI smiled at Wolf as he grabbed my bag."Are you sure that you want to go back today?" he asked and I nodded. I was released from the hospital a few days ago. I still had crutches but I decided to go back to school."It's too boring here." I complained and he smirked."I could always just stay with you. I'm sure that we'd find something exciting to do." he whispered in my ear. I shivered and shook my head."You're hopeless!" I exclaimed and he shrugged. "Okay. If it's too much just call me and I'll come get you." Silvia reminded me as she and Mom hugged me good bye. I rolled my eyes."I know. I'm good" I sighed as I hobbled out the door. Wolf tossed my bag to Jackal who was waiting by the car with Cassy. Jackal caught it and grinned as Wolf picked me up and carried me the rest of the way."Wolfie. I can do it!" I whined but he just grinned."I know, Baby. I just will use any excuse to hold you." he smirked and I glared. After we got in the car, Jackal in the driver seat, Ca

    POV RubyThey were having a great time at The Spot despite all the stares and strange looks they were receiving. It was bound to happen. Rose Hills was a fairly small town. Not only were they a new family, the fact that their mothers were holding hands had not gone unnoticed.Ruby rolled her eyes as she glanced at two guys that were obviously staring at them. She looked back when she realized that she recognized one of them. It was Clive. He was in Ruby's grade when she lived here. She froze for a moment but then relaxed that he probably wouldnt even recognize her. She was a far cry from the pony tails and pink sweaters that she used to wear."The whole family is hot." she heard him mumble to his friend. She shook her head and went back to her burger."You're right. This place is so good." Cassy said to her as their mothers chatted."The Spot is an institution in Rose Hills." I explained to her and she nodded. We finished our dinners and went out to the car right as a motorcycle pulle

    POV WolfI couldn't believe it when Scarlett introduced her. Suddenly I knew who Foxy had seen at The Spot last night. Why didn't she call me to let me know? I fumed for a moment. Of course, I don't know if she even could if she wanted to and why would she want to? I had ghosted her years ago. She had gotten even more beautiful in those years. I smiled when I finally saw her on the stage. She was breathtaking. I grinned as she scanned the crowd, knowing that she was looking for me. I saw her pause and look at Sam but was relieved when she rolled her eyes and kept looking.When she saw me, I remembered everything and the smile dropped from my face. This was the girl that left me. She destroyed me. Made me the shell of a person I am today. I stared into her eyes as I thought."Ruby, your first mistake was leaving and destroying me, your second was coming back." I thought. Her eyes looked confused and then sad for a moment but then her friend took her attention. I glared at her and then

    POV CassyI hurried after Ruby and found her outside, making out with bartender. I smirked when Wolf came crashing out a minute later. He stared at the couple, dumbfounded."What? You didn't believe me?" I asked him and he glared. I was surprised to see his fists clench and the rage in his eyes."Why are you mad? She isn't your girl" I asked but he only answered with more glaring."I don't know what you did to make her like this but you will pay!" he promised. I looked at him in confusion."You think I changed Ruby? Um... no, that was you. She was broken when you ghosted her and she vowed to never let anyone treat her that badly again. She hasn't either. She is even better than I am about avoiding relationships." I explained as his face grew darker and darker."You are lying!" Wolf burst out but I just shrugged."Believe what you want but listen to me. I love that girl. She is the nicest, kindest person in the world. She's both my best friend and my sister. If you mess with her and hu

    POV WolfTrigger Warning: Abuse, Violence, Gun ViolenceI couldn't believe that I was doing this. I couldn't believe that I was driving the woman I love towards the dangerous man who has harmed her countless times before. All I wanted to do is turn around and drive her as far away as I can. Trust me the thought has crossed my mind more than once.But I knew that she truly would never forgive me. I saw in her eyes that she meant it when she said that. I also saw that she needed to do this. So I continued on. This is the hardest thing that I will ever do, I thought. When we were a block away from her house, I pulled over and shut off the bike. She got off the bike quickly but I grabbed her hand before she could walk away. "Wolf, I've got to go. I texted him to let him know that I'd be there in five minutes. If I'm late, he'll be even madder than he already is." she said and I nodded."I know. I just..." I trailed off, looking at her as I stood. Suddenly, I pulled her into me and kissed

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

A million thoughts raced through my brain as everyone turned to look at me. I looked at Mac and Scarlett and they nodded. Cassy leaned in and rubbed my back. I looked down and sighed with relief to see a new text from Cerise in response to the one I had just sent her."At least Cerise is safe." I said and showed Cassy. She nodded and gave me a small smile. I quickly sent a text to Cerise to stay where she was and to stay with friends at all times. I added that I would call her when I could. I wouldn't let my older sister be harmed again in all of this."What do you mean the 'reason you left Rose Hills'? You left because your Mom wanted a fresh start and got a new job." Wolf asked and I nodded."Yeah that's true but the 'fresh start' thing was a more dire than we let on..." I began and the rest of my friends looked confused."My Dad... The real reason my p

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."
