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
Ruby The empty living area made me feel like I was in a holding cell somewhere. The man had nothing. I wondered how he spent his free time. I went back to my room to charge my phone. I knew the thing would be useless soon because I doubted my father would continue to pay the subscription on it. As far as he was concerned, I was another man's property now. I switched on the phone to see what was going on on social media, and I realised Jasper did not have wifi. This would explain why we could not find him on social media. I sat on the mattress, bored and angry. I wanted to forget what transpired, but I couldn't. There is nothing else to do than to remember. I shouldn't have walked up to him at the bar. I was stupid, dragging him to the dancefloor and dry humping him. I felt his bulge, and I wanted it and look where it got. I began to weep again. I pulled out my hand mirror and stared at his bite. At first, I was too distraught to notice, but the bite was pronounced, intense, and de
Ruby. I wanted to ask him where he was all night but decided against it last minute. It wasn't any of my business. I stepped into my room, and I was shocked to see Jasper shirtless. " Good morning, Ruby," he said respectfully. My eyes went from him to what he was doing. " I noticed you were uncomfortable eating on the floor, so I made you a table and chair. I had to rush to build it after work. That was why I didn't come home. I hope you can manage it," He said and gently excused himself. He did not wait for me to give him a response. I walked to the table and chair, and it was beautiful. It did not seem like rushed work. I sat on it, and the cushion was right for my butt and back and I heard myself purr in it. Our dining chairs weren't this good. Jasper was good at his work. I wanted to thank him for it but decided against it last minute. It was his fault that I was in this predicament. I could never thank him for anything, That much I was aware of. I stood up and decided to showe
Ruby. Rachael and I left Moe's and took a cab to a motel. Jasper losing his job because of my lie got to me. I had told that lie in the first place so my family would be lenient. I did not expect Jasper to show up and my father to behave as he did. The lie was okay when Jasper was anonymous, but I could not have his destruction on my conscience. I needed to grow up and be a big girl. Taking responsibility for my mistake was the first step. I knew I couldn't get close to my father to tell him the truth, and even if I did, he would bury it and go with the lie to protect his image, position and family name. The only way I could clear Jasper's name was to confess the truth publicly. When Racheal figured out what I intended to do, she tried to talk me out of it, but my mind was made up. It was over for me already. " Please, let me clear his name. I cannot have this on my conscience. Besides, he supports both of us, and he has been nothing but kind since he took me home, giving me my s
Jasper I could not believe the mess that my wolf, Leon, got me into. I knew he was lonely and wanted a mate but at what cost? Claiming Ruby the way he did was wrong. When I found out what happened, I was furious at myself for getting too drunk to control my wolf. Ruby was angry and bitter; I wasn't mad at her for lying against me. I deserved worse. I had ruined her life completely. She was daddy's little princess, and I had torn her away from her home, her family, her pack, and her friends and ruined her future. I hated myself for it. How will I ever redeem myself for what I did? I knew Ruby was hurting; I could feel every bit of it. We were now connected, after all. I did not know she was promised to anyone. Had I known, I wouldn't have gotten drunk with her. I don't do one night stands, but Ruby was exceptional. When I saw her number, I didn't hesitate to copy it to my phone. I called her to ask her if we could go out sometime. I was not expecting the reaction I got. I was sorry.
Ruby Two months passed, and Jasper avoided me. He would make breakfast in the morning and leave before I got out. He made sure there was food for me to eat in the afternoon and night. My phone subscription was renewed, and when I called the company, hoping it was my father or brother that paid for it, I learned it was Jasper. I began to suspect he might be seeing someone, which was why he made himself scarce. I had tried to get work in town, but no one wanted to hire me. I was Labeled a liar and a wolf without honour. Talking to Racheal on the phone was my pastime. I was dying inside, and I did not know how to help myself. I would often shift and run in the woods. I was careful not to get caught. It helped my wolf remain sane. When I wasn't talking to Racheal, I would talk to myself. I was very lonely. I was still mad at Jasper for what he did, but as things were, he was the only human contact I would have. I felt it was best we talked things through and tried to be civil among ours
Ruby. Another Two Months Later. The living room became my favourite spot. I often watched television to catch up with what was going on in town. Racheal had started becoming hard to reach, and I figured that someone or some people had begun to replace me. It had been three weeks since we spoke, and she was still yet to return my call. I decided not to try her number again and give her space. As things were, I was holding on too tight. Our status had changed. I was a packless wolf mated to a rogue who lived on the outskirts of town and was poor. My dream of leaving the rogue town could not be realised because I couldn't get a job. I was hopeless. I had stopped fighting my situation and accepted it. Jasper's absence was bearable when I had Racheal to speak to on the phone, but now it was just me. I could not talk to Kira because all she wanted was Jasper, so I was by myself. I didn't blame her. He was an alpha, and he had claimed us. Alphas had that effect on other wolves. They did
Jasper. I thought if I gave Ruby some space, she would be less angry and might warm up to me a bit. I felt she had been cooped up indoors for too long and had made reservations for us at a fancy restaurant in Moon pack close to our home. It was meant to be a surprise, and Cindy came through. The plan was simple. Cindy would visit, linger and leave during dinner time. I would then use it as an excuse not to cook and take her out. I was looking forward to taking Ruby out, but her response was painful. She did not want to be seen with me. I returned to the garage quietly and lay on the air mattress I bought. Ruby wore turtlenecks and scarves to hide my mark. She was either angry or ashamed of me. I didn't know what else to do. Cindy said I should make the apartment more homely, and it might work, but I doubted it. I doubted Ruby would ever forgive me and move past my mistake. I had claimed her, and she was now my mate, but I was lonelier than I had ever been. My wolf wanted her, and
