Ruby POVAfter we got into the car, Cassy and Scarlett turned to me."Was it him?" Cassy demanded and I nodded."Yep. I don't know how he got my number again. I'll have to change it. I'm so sick of changing numbers, Cass." I sighed as she held me tightly."I know you are but it's the best way for him to leave you alone." Cassy replied and Scarlett nodded. Don and Foxy looked confused but didn't ask anything."You don't think that he knows that you moved, do you?" Scarlett asked nervously."I don't know how he would." I responded and she relaxed."What's going on?" Don finally asked but Cassy shook her head."Nothing for you to worry about. We've got it taken care of." I replied, brightly. Cassy and Scarlett fake smiled and quickly changed the subject but Cassy kept her arm around me the rest of the ride back to our house and both Foxy and Don looked unconvinced.Cassy and I hugged the other three goodbye as they headed back to the school so Foxy could get her bike and Don could get hi
Ruby POVI felt the heated looks of my friends on my back as I waited in line. Suddenly I felt someone press against my back."What the hell are you doing, princess?" Wolf whispered in my ear. I closed my eyes for a second and then shrugged."I'm in line for lunch" I replied with a fake smirk. I made the mistake of turning to look at his face. His eyes were dark and the rage shown there took my breath away."You know what I mean. What are you playing at with Clive of all people?" he asked."I was just helping him with some homework problem and he wanted to take me to The Spot to thank me" I replied, honestly. Wolf's face cleared suddenly and he smirked."You really think that Clive needed help with a homework problem? He's a genius. He could practically write the textbook" he asked with a sneer. I turned away as the realization hit me. He was right."He was playing you so he could take you out. He likes you." Wolf continued as we picked up some food. I shrugged and avoided looking at
POV RubyI managed to avoid both Sam and Wolf for the rest of the day. When the last bell rang, I sighed. I still hadn't decided what to do about the situation with Clive. I was pissed that he played me but I liked that he stood up to Wolf and didn't mind that I was using him to get Wolf to leave me alone. As I walked to my locker I decided that I would go with him to The Spot but call him out on the 'homework help' bs."Hey, Ruby! You ready to go?" I looked up to see Clive waiting at my locker already."Sure, let me just get my stuff." I replied."Do you need to find Cassy or Scarlett to let them know that you've got a ride?" he asked as I opened my locker."Nope. I already told them. Thanks though." I responded, smiling at the memory of their shocked faces when I told them who I was going out with. Cassy recovered quickly but I think both Scarlett and Don still looked surprised. I shut my locker and we hurried to the door. Or rather, I hurried and Clive rushed to keep up. I was tryi
POV WolfI woke up Friday morning still in a rage. My Riders never did manage to find Ruvy but one of them finally noticed that Clive's car was back at his house. I had Jackal visit him to make sure that Ruby made it home safe and to threaten him to never take my girl out again. Clive refused to agree to that but we will see. I didn't want to harm him because he's valuable to the Riders. He makes sure that we all pass our classes but if he continues to come between Ruby and I, I'll have no choice.After we made it to school, I was constantly looking for Ruby."Still looking for her?" Foxy asked and I nodded."Maybe you should just leave her alone for a bit? You know, give her some space?" Hound suggested and I glared at him."He's got a point, boss. She's a nice girl and the Rider life would destroy her." Foxy added.I shook my head, "Nope. I'm going to keep all that from her. She will be protected at all costs. That's why I can't leave her alone. I can't keep her safe if I'm not with
POV RubyAfter I realized that I was hugging Wolf, I quickly backed away, flustered."I umm.. have to get to class" I mumbled as I stepped back and tripped. Wolf quickly stepped forward and caught me before I could make and even bigger fool of myself."Do you? Maybe I should walk you, princess" he smirked and I rolled my eyes."I think I can manage" I began but he shook his head and tightened his arms around me."Come on. I'll worry about you if I don't." he insisted and I didn't have the will power to fight him. He kept his arm around me as we walked first to my locker and then to my next class. All our friends saw us and they looked at me in surprise. I shrugged and they grinned. When we finally got to my class, Wolf stopped me."I'll meet you right here after class, ok?" he began and I shook my head."No need. Cassy and Scar are in this class. They'll be with me." I explained, annoyed by his overprotectiveness. Suddenly, he grinned."I'm not meeting you because I want you to be pro
POV RubyI looked around in alarm when I realized who had pulled up. While Nick had been nice to me, everyone else had warned me about how terrible he was. I didn't want anything to do with him. I just wanted to keep my distance from him and all the Reapers."Where are you headed to, blondie?" he asked me."Just heading home." I replied and he stepped closer."What about you?" I inquired just to be polite."I was headed over to the bar. Why don't you hop on and join me?" he demanded more than asked. I smiled but shook my head."No, thanks. I have to get home. The girls are meeting me soon." I explained and he glared."Oh, honey, I wasn't asking you..." he began and slid even nearer to me. I backed away and he smirked.Just as I was about to either get pissed off or panic, I heard another bike approach. He and I watched as a bike neared us and stopped. I braced myself for angry Wolf but was surprised to see an angry Jackal when the helmet came off."Ruby, get on the bike." he commanded
POV Ruby"Well, that was nice of Jackal." Cassy said with a smile after I told them what had happened."It sure was lucky that he showed up when he did." Don added and I nodded."I can't believe that Nick would try something like that. Wolf's going to kill him." Scarlett piped in."Yeah. Oh, well. He's a jerk." I stated and they all agreed. We were all in Cassy's room, getting ready for the dance. Don was helping with my hair as Scarlett and Cassy were working on theirs. Mom and Silvia yelled out as they came in and we called back. They poked their heads in the door."Do you kids need anything? How about a snack?" Silvia asked and we smiled."Of course! We'll bring you something. We can't have you go to the dance on an empty stomach." Mom said."Foxy just texted me. She want's to get ready with the boys. They want to pick us up an hour earlier so we can grab dinner. What do you think?" Scarlett asked us. Don looked at his watch."That'll only give us an hour..." Cassy began but Scarle
POV RubyWhen the song ended, Wolf sighed and let me go. We gathered our things and our friends and hurried outside just as my Mom pulled up. I ran towards the car as the door opened and Mac appeared. He laughed and caught me as I jumped at him."Ruby, my girl! I missed you!" he said as he spun us around."I missed you too, Mac!" I laughed and kissed him quickly on the lips."I'll see you kids later! Be good!" Mom called and waved as she pulled away. Mac put me down to hug Cassy and then Scarlett. He finally turned to the rest of our friends."Mac this is the rest of our friends. That's Hound and Don, aren't they cute?" I began. Don and Hound waved at Mac and he waved back."This is Foxy but hands off. She's Scarlett's gal." Cassy took over and Foxy blushed as Mac shook her hand."And that's Jackal and Wolf." V rushed through. I chuckled as she mostly ignored the boys. Jackal looked upset but Wolf was pissed. I knew that he wasn't happy about the way I greeted Mac."Boys. Thanks for t
