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
Ruby I woke up on a strange bed early in the morning with the sunlight stinging my eyes. How could I have overslept? I looked to my left, and there he was, handsome and still sleeping. I admired the outlines of his face, and I realised it wasn't the alcohol that drew me to him last night. The man was a hottie, and his looks took me. I wouldn't mind having him again. I stealthily snuck out of bed and put on my clothes in a hurry. I was about to head out when I glanced at the hottie with whom I had just spent the night. Goddess, he was handsome. Against my better Judgement, I scribbled my number on a piece of paper, signed my name, and stained it with my lipstick. I hoped he would call me. I wanted him to call me. I placed the paper on a table by the bed and left the room. It was a bit chilly outside, so I wrapped a scarf around my neck and signalled a taxi to stop. I hopped in and headed home. While in the taxi, I called Racheal to find out if my nosey brothers had called to find out
Ruby. I returned home and went straight to my room in tears. I was confused and scared and did not know what to do. My father and brothers would kill me if they found out. My father wanted me to be Luna badly, and this was going to be a massive disappointment on my part. I laid on the bed in fetus position and wept. I did not have a relationship with Randolph and he would reject me in a heartbeat. It was a breeding match and not a love match. If he wanted me badly, he would have to challenge Jasper to fight to the death to have me. I doubt if I was worth that trouble to him. If he happened to surprise me by wanting me that badly, I did not know where Jasper was, his pack or his last name. I didn't have his number, and the moment wasn't memorable enough for him to keep my number and call me. I was doomed. I lay in bed and wept, thinking of everything I could have done differently to avoid this. Soon I heard a voice calling me. It was Racheal. I must have left the front door open when I
Ruby. I got ready for dinner and wore a turtlenecked knitted dress. I was so nervous I vomited twice. The restaurant I was to meet them at was not far from home, so I opted to walk there in heels. I did that a lot, my feet were used to it. I made sure I looked my best in the short dress so no one would ask me why it had a turtle neck. I packed my hair in a bun and doused myself with expensive perfume to cover the scent. Ruby was with me. She did not leave, so I lent her a dress to wear. Unlike me, she hated walking in heels, but the restaurant was too close to call a cab. She wasn't meant to be at the dinner, but I had a plan, and for it to work, she had to be there. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. It was typical of Randolph to clear the service and book the entire place for privacy. My brother Gamma Kevin Marlow was waiting for me along with Randolph. Randolph looked exceptionally handsome tonight in his black suit. They fitted his sexy body nicely, and his beard hair wa
Ruby. I did not waste time packing up to spend two days with Racheal. We were not going there to have fun. We were on a mission to search for Jasper. Our first move the moment we got to her house, was to browse the internet and social media for men with the name Jasper. He went through five hundred profiles and soon fell asleep. After breakfast, we continued the search, after searching one thousand, we gave up. There was no way we could find him online. "Let us ask the motel. Maybe he paid with his card and left an address or a full name," Racheal said, and I felt stupid that I did not think of that in the first place. We decided to visit the motel. The moment we got there, I was filled with regrets. How could this guy do this to me? He knew the way the wolf community was. No one would ever want me if he is still living and breathing, and even if he dies, it would be hard to find another mate. My only option would be to settle with a human and that was prohibited in most packs if n
Ruby. I took out my cell phone and called my brothers and father home. Once I had done it, I knew there was no going back. My life would change drastically, and it might not be for the better. I waited for them in the living room. I had been crying, so my eyes were swollen, and I was sad. Kevin was the first to arrive. He rushed to me when he saw me and held me to his chest. "What happened to you, Ruby? Why are you crying?" He asked me, and I looked at the concern in his eyes, and I broke down again. "Daddy isn't coming, so you have to tell me what the matter is," he said. I was relieved, but I knew that my brother was just as ruthless as my father, but he wouldn't beat my wolf. "I have failed this family?" I began, and he looked at me, surprised. "What are you talking about?" He asked, and I wiped away my tears. I braced myself up to tell the lie we had concocted. Kira kicked against it, but I had no choice. I needed to reduce the anger they would feel towards me. Besides, t
Ruby. My hands began to tremble when I saw who it was. How could he do this to me? I was too angry to think straight. Even if I found him now, it wouldn't change anything. I had been given the boot. I had no family and no pack. I heard my brother and father arguing while Alpha Randolph was trying to calm the situation down and talk my father out of disowning me. I decided to linger outside a bit. Hopefully, they would get through to my father, and he would let me back into his house. If it ever happened that way, I would thank my stars for shining on me. Jasper called twice, and I chose to pick the third time. " You sick fuck!" were my first words to him. " Am I speaking to Ruby?" He asked, sounding confused. The bastard might have thought I got his number mixed up. " Yes, you are. You psycho. I gave you a good time, and you ruined my life. Was it a crime to fuck you! You psychopath. Thanks to you, my alpha has rejected me as his Luna; my father is so disappointed that he has di
Ruby I did not know what happened, but I felt terrible about it. Was it my lies, the fact that Jasper didn't rat me out or that I had failed my family and pack? I just wept. Jasper quietly put my bags in the trunk of his car. " What do you think you are doing?" I asked him. " Taking you home," He replied, and I shook my head " I am not going home with you. I will find my way," I said and folded my arms. " Face it, Ruby. You have no pack, no money, and no support. See your hands. I know you haven't worked a day in your life. No one will accept you because of my mark, and mingling with humans is forbidden. " He explained, and I scuffed. " Says a rogue," I said, and he was silent. He entered his car. " Get in, Ruby. I doubt your father would be nice if he comes out and still finds you on his driveway." He said with no emotion. I knew he was mad at me for lying against him, and I was angry at him for claiming me. I guess we were even now. I reluctantly got into his old ricket
