Ruby. I tried not to panic as we rode to the hospital. Jasper tried to stay calm about his bleeding, but I couldn’t. Something was wrong, and it needed more than his natural healing to fix it. The ambulance carrying Kevin was in front of us, and my father was in his car trailing behind. A convertible was behind him, and I wondered who was driving it. Whoever it was really cared about us. “We need to hurry,” I said. I knew that we were already going as fast as we could. I wished I could fly or maybe teleport or even develop super healing powers. “Please, Jasper, stay with me,” I said, begging. “Ruby,” he managed to say between coughs, and I shook my head, telling him not to speak.He touched my hands, a bit relaxed. Randolph was awake. His wolf had time to recuperate while he was unconscious during the fight, but he hadn't healed enough to be out of harm's way. Racheal almost broke down, but I linked her to be strong. This was not the time for tears. Our mates needed our strength to
Jasper. Ruby was overwhelmed with joy when I woke up. I could see it in her eyes. She must have been afraid. I could not believe it was all over. I was a free man now. My family and I can now live in peace without fear or worry that our lives might be in danger. I looked at my mate, and I had never seen her smile so much. She was genuinely happy. I promised myself I would make it work, and the goddess blessed me. Ruby snuggled into my arms on the hospital bed, and I could not help but laugh. “Don't scare me like that, Jasper. I was..” she said, remembering. I held her close. “Don’t think about it anymore, Ruby. I am here; we are here. We won,” I said and kissed her deeply. I broke off the kiss to wipe away her tears. “I am sorry I did not tell you,” I apologized to her, and she nodded, still trying to catch her breath. “I know you saved my life,” I told her, and she looked at me, surprised. She must have thought I had passed out completely, but I was still conscious when Grig
Jasper. Ruby and I joined Randolph and Racheal the next day. Maxwell had called to inform me they would come and get us in two hours so we could go to Brooksbridge. Ruby was nervous about the trip, and so was I. "Noelle said Emerald and Garnet ran a fever last night, but they are okay now. She just wanted us to know that they are fine." Ruby said while we sat on the couch in our old apartment. "Ask her to bring them," I said, and she shook her head. "I think it was the journey that caused it. She brought them when you were in the ICU, and I asked her to take them back to Lakewood even though my father insisted that they remain so he could spend time with them. Let us finish up at Brooksbridge and then return to Livingston. Kevin and Cindy are there, and I am sure Racheal and Randolph will join them soon because of Susan and Isabelle," she said. I sat back and relaxed. Randolph and Racheal arrived, smiling. "I see you like it here?" I asked Randolph because he had no reason to sti
Ruby. We arrived in Livingston in the afternoon. The three of us were tired, but I could not wait to hold my babies in my arms. Noelle's news had scared me more than I had let on, but there was no way I was letting Jasper out of my sight. He had escaped me and almost got himself killed once; I wasn't going to let that happen again. Everything was still like a dream. I was Luna of two packs. Who would have ever guessed that would be my fate? We arrived at the house, and there were several cars parked outside. I was worried, and I left Jasper and ran inside. My heart was in my mouth, but to my surprise, it was the people of Livingston, and they had come to congratulate Cindy. I saw her and Kevin with three babies. I rushed to Kevin. "When? How? Why didn't you tell me?" I asked my brother, taking one of them from him. "I wanted it to be a surprise," he said with teary eyes. He was delighted. "Two boys and one beautiful girl, Ruby," he said to me, and I smiled at him. The content i
Jasper. I stood by the door and looked at my beautiful mate while she snuggled between the sheets. She looked at peace, and a brief smile touched her lips. We were happy. I never knew what peace and freedom would feel like until I found it. I moved towards the bed, wondering if I should wake Ruby up or not. "Jasper," Ruby breathed with her eyes still shut. Was she talking in her sleep? I waved my hands slightly in front of her face thinking she would wake, but nothing happened. She was calling my name in her sleep. I know I might have overdone it last night, but I couldn't help myself. I hoped she wasn't sore because I might just go at it again before we leave for Brooksbridge. It has been a month since I officially took over both packs. We kept postponing our return as leaving Livingston was hard for all of us. But last night Brian called with some issues at Brooksbridge and I knew we had no choice but to return. I never really wanted any of this. I wished I did not have to kil
Jasper. I could not believe what I had just heard. Who was this Pavel, and what the fuck did he want. Where was he when his father went mad and terrorised the entire country? Why didn't he pull out a family challenge then? Why now? "Can he do that?" I asked Raymond, and he sighed. "He shouldn't, but you did not spare him because you did not know he existed." He said. "Shouldn't that disqualify him?" I asked Raymond. "It should, and I doubt he has two hundred million plus stashed away somewhere," he said, and I sighed. "So, what is the problem?" He asked. "He might find a way to still challenge you, Jasper," He confessed, and I wondered what this was all about. "Where was he when his father was terrorising everyone?" I asked, and my house was suddenly quiet because everyone was listening. So I would not have to explain myself, I walked back to the table and put Raymond on speaker. "The fucker is trying to be sneaky. I heard he is thirty-three years old, so he is older than you,
Ruby. Jasper and I had a wonderful month of peace and tranquillity. It felt good to finally be free. No one was hunting us, and we did not need to hide away. We weren't packless anymore, and all the things that used to plague our lives and disrupt our happiness were gone completely. The fight with Grigory scarred me. I had nightmares about Jasper. They pulled the plug in my nightmares, and he never woke up. That was a possible outcome; I was glad it never happened. Often Jasper would wake me up to assure me he was still with me, and I will hold him to thank my stars for keeping him with me. We never really discussed the content of my dreams, and by the third week, the frequency of the nightmares had reduced immensely. Hopefully, they would stop altogether. When Brian called Jasper, I knew our vacation was over. I had been dreading going to Brooksbridge, but I knew our trip to the pack was inevitable. I was from Lakewood, so Brooksbridge people would have no respect for me. I had s
Jasper. I could not believe the head maid had the nerves to suggest that Ruby and I stay in separate rooms because I would need privacy to screw other women. I might have to dismiss her because it was clear she had no respect for her Luna. Grigory might have had a certain way he ran the pack, but I was different, and my mate should be accorded the same respect like me. I will not tolerate anyone disrespecting Ruby like that. I will not have it. I noticed that Raymond brought Deltas from Lakewood to care for the twins; I linked him to thank him. That was quick thinking on his part. With the way, the women of Brookbridge were looking at me. Hopefully, I did not want to trust them with my children. Randolph wasn't joking when he said women would begin to hit on me openly. It was bad enough when I was a nobody. A woman had made my life hell because I refused her; now I knew it would be worse. I did not plan on overlooking advances from them. By the time I made examples of a few, they wo
