Ruby. "Jasper?" I said, a bit stunned. I did not know how to feel. "I .. I..." I said, feeling sorry about the kick, and he laughed and climbed into bed. "Sorry, Ru. I couldn't sleep in Lakewood. After dinner and the games, I decided to come back home," he said, feeling amused about my reaction. I hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry, baby," I said, and he patted my back. "Who did you think it was?" He asked, knowing I kicked him because I thought he was someone else. "I honestly thought it was Brian," I said to Jasper, and he began to laugh. "Kira knew it was me," he pointed out, and I was mad at my wolf, but it was sudden. I went to bed alone with the mindset that my mate wouldn't return until the following day. Then I woke up in darkness to someone eating my pussy. I only reacted the way I was supposed to. "You came back?" I asked him, realising he had cut his trip short. "Yes, Ru. I couldn't leave you by yourself. I missed you and seeing Randolph and Racheal interact got to m
Jasper. Ruby's reaction when I arrived was incredible. I did not know she could go from moaning to self-defence mode in seconds. The kick to my face was done with the intent to cause damage. If Brian had been the one, she might have killed him. Her eyes were wild and angry, and I couldn't blame her. I was not supposed to be home yet, so she wouldn't be expecting me to be between her legs eating her. Ruby acted accordingly. BEFORE THE KICK!! After the game, Randolph offered me a room, but just like Kevin, I declined and asked the driver to take me back home. Randolph could understand, and he laughed a bit when I was about to leave. Seeing him with Racheal made me realise I shouldn't be away from my mate. Although it was midnight, I gathered the courage to call Maxwell and make a request. He answered after a few rings, and I was glad he picked. "Hey Max," I said to my human father figure, and he sounded a bit grumpy. "Jasper it's midnight; I can't get to you or shoot anyone from her
Jasper. I watched Linda for a while, and she looked extremely nervous. My facial expression must have said it all. I wasn't pleased with her suggestions. "Did I ask you for sexual advice?" I asked her, and she shook her head. "Did I complain to you about my sexual desires and needs?" I asked her, and she shook her head. "Did I imply that I wasn't satiated and satisfied?" She shook her head. "Did I request that I need young women to warm my bed?" I said to her, and she became scared. "Ruby and I have come a long way, Linda. I am speaking to you like this out of respect. Would your girls have happily warmed my bed to keep me centred when I was a nobody working as a carpenter and living in the outskirts of town, nameless, packless and broke?" I asked, and she couldn't answer my question. "When I got together with my mate, she accepted me and loved me regardless. I was content with that life. I did all of this for her and my children. Don't you think I will be hurting myself by hurt
Ruby. I could not believe that we would be meeting up with Racheal and Cindy. I was very eager to see them. Other than Jasper, I have been starved of company. Glenda was incredible, but a bit too mature and serious for my liking, and my father always gave me advice on how things are done and not to make Jasper look stupid. I also have to deal with avoiding Brian. I guess he noticed because I started seeing less of him. The worst I had to deal with at Brooksbridge was changing the service staff. When Jasper told me that they were actually whores and Annika was the biggest one, I knew I had to get rid of all of them. It was weird how women would allow themselves to be used that way because the man was powerful and wealthy. No one was going to take my Jasper from me! Not like it would be possible, but I just wanted to make sure we got everything right, for Leon's sake. A week ago, I called all the service staff and had them line up in a single file in the garden. Looking at them, I re
Jasper. Randolph and Racheal arrived before us, and I couldn't wait for the six of us to get together and catch up on events. As soon as we arrived at the Alpha house, I carried Ruby straight to our bedroom. Ruby and I were happy to be away from Brooksbridge and all their problems. "All those admirers," Ruby said, teasing me, and I smiled. "You should see the way the men were staring at you," I said to her, and she giggled. I loved it when she smiled. Ruby's joy is always a reminder that I kept the promise I made to myself, that I would not make her regret falling in love with me. I reached for her while she laughed and kissed her sweetly, then rested my head against hers. "I love you, Ru, and I will always show you how much," I said, and she kissed me in response. The way she came to me in the office the night before still lingered in my mind, and things like that reminded me just how much we are a match. I intertwined my fingers with hers and pinned her to the bed. Leon wanted to
Ruby. I woke up at 4 AM and found Jasper's side of the bed empty; he never came to bed. I wondered what they were discussing that would make them stay up so late. I tried to link Jasper but couldn't reach him. He wasn't nearby. I got off the bed, wore my robe, and went to the living room. Randolph and Kevin were still there, pacing worriedly. "Kevin, where is Jasper?" I asked my brother, and he looked at me, trying to compose himself, and I frowned. "What happened? Where is he?" I asked with fear rising in me. "Where is Jasper?" I asked, and Kevin came to hold me. "You need to calm down, Ruby. He went hunting," he said, and I pulled away from him. "Hunting?" I asked, confused. "Why did he go hunting at this time? He needs to rest," I said. Kevin sighed, not knowing how to tell me the truth. I knew that look. Maxwell had it the night of the fight with Murray. "You left him to go out there alone?" I asked, tears streaming down my face. "What if he doesn't come back?" I asked and
Jasper. I needed peace. This was just too damned much! Why are all these happening now? I was enraged, and Leon was pissed off, so I let him take control. I had so much bottled-up anger and frustration these past few weeks; Brooksbridge's bullshit laws and the fact that I constantly have to dominate them. Add to that the whole Pavel issue and the council's refusal to look into the laws until enough signatures are collected was highly infuriating. I went to Derbyshire to escape, and then this. A freaking full breed. I would just give him the pack if he wanted it, but the law would not allow it. Every time I wanted to do something, the council (and the law) would be there to antagonize me. I am mad! I need to dominate and kill something, anything! Leon and I needed to be wild. The moment we entered the woods, Leon lost it. He was angry and scared, and we knew that if we lingered in the house, we might attack our friends and family. I also wanted to try Brian's method of release. I was
Ruby. I was grateful to the goddess that I had found Jasper. I had given up hope, and then I picked up Leon's scent in the forest. He had marked the place as his, and I knew it might be deadly approaching him, but I did it anyway. I told myself it was now or never. A part of me wanted to leave and come back later. Maybe he would have calmed down, but it has been two days. His rage should have dissipated, but it hadn't. I felt it. The mate bond was tugging really hard, and as I approached, Kira became afraid, but even with the fear, she was determined. When I saw Leon, he was rabid. He looked almost like Grigory, and I blamed Brooksbridge and everything that came with that pack. They ran Grigory mad, and now my mate, too. I tried to communicate with Jasper in human form, but it wasn't working. I had to take a risk and shift even though Leon might see it as a threat. Leon needed to dominate something; I could feel it. I noticed it in his bite while he washed me to get Brian's scent
