Accidental Claim 25 A day together
Ruby Cindy returned my car early in the morning. I waited for Jasper to get ready for work, but he hung around. When it was eight in the morning, I had to ask him. " Are you not going to work?" " I have decided to spend the day with you. I do not want you to sit here alone after what happened yesterday." He said, and my heart swelled. Jasper was trying to remain on guard. It was normal for him to expect that people might pay me a visit after what transpired. He was only trying to protect me in the best way possible. " So, what will happen at work?" I asked him, and he shrugged. " I will get a query tomorrow, and that will be it. " He responded, and I looked at Jasper with shock and surprise registered on my face. " Are you sure that is wise?" I asked him, and he looked at me with a raised eyebrow. " I mean. I can't get a job, and we need money to get by," I said, not knowing whether talking about money with Jasper was appropriate. Our relationship was strange, and we had never
Accidental Claim 26 Stunned
Jasper I was stunned to see what they did to our home. Ruby was in shock. They did not damage anything, but they scattered the entire place to let us know there was a break-in. It was deliberate and cruel. Why the hatred. It wasn't like Ruby had done anything to them to warrant such behaviour. The fact that they could come into our apartment and trash the place bothered me a lot. I did not know how to feel about it. I took the note from Ruby and read it, and then I crumpled it and pulled her to my chest. " Why do they hate me this much?" She asked and wrapped her arms around my waist. " I did not do anything to them, yet this hostility towards me is too much," she said, and I held her without saying a word. I had no words that could make her feel better. The culprits were cowards, they should have confronted us, but instead, they chose to strike when we were far from home. Ruby broke away from the hug and began fixing the apartment. "I will do it," I offered her, but she ignored m
Accidental Claim 27 Sorting it Out
Ruby Jasper looked stunned at my request. I knew he would be worried, but I did not expect him to be this worried. I had thought about it all day, and I knew avoiding the joining would be cowardly. Racheal had been my friend since kindergarten. She had never betrayed me. She always stood by me and stuck her neck out for my sake. I knew Randolph must have fallen in love with Rachael for him to choose her over Brianna and all the girls in families higher than hers. I also knew that the pack would not be so thrilled about the match, but love was fundamental in joinings. It was only logical that I supported her. I had nothing new to wear, and I knew people would make fun of my old clothes, but it was worth it. I just hoped that Jasper would agree to go with me. I did not want to face the pack alone, but I would not impose. " It is okay if you decide not to come," I quickly said because it was taking too long for him to respond. He opened his mouth to speak, and then he closed it back. I
Accidental Claim 28 Dilemma
Jasper. I was completely broke. I had spent all my money on the showroom and warehouse. The good thing was that I had everything I needed to build sample furniture for the showroom, but I did not have enough to hire extra hands for help. As much as I wanted to call Omicron Liam to loan me some money, I felt he had done enough, and I should sort myself out. The man had been responsible for me since the age of four. Most people in my parent's pack believed I was dead. He had cared for me as if I were his own, and my life had been easy. If it weren't for my involvement with Ruby, no one knew I was packless. He usually passed me off as a reluctant pack member of his pack, and it was easy to believe because he was rich. Racheal's joining was the next day, and I still did not feel like going, but I had no choice. Ruby had requested I follow her and even thrown a tantrum when she sensed I did not want to go. For peace and her happiness, I had no choice but to go. I tried to get a hold of C
Accidental Claim 29 Stupid Ruby
Ruby I woke up early in the morning feeling a bit down. It was the day of the joining. I hated that I would not have a gift for Racheal more than the fact that I would be wearing my old clothes. For the first time, I felt like sneaking to my father's house and getting a dress from my old room. I looked at Jasper; he was still sleeping. I was desperate. None of the clothes Racheal sent was good enough for the event. I dreaded being laughed at. So I snuck out of the apartment, entered my car and headed towards the town. The worst that would happen was that my father or the pack members would see me and kill me. At this point, I did not care. I would rather wear my clothes than worn-out hand-me-downs. So I stepped on the gas. I knew what I was doing was dangerous and stupid, but I had nothing to live for or look forward to anyway. I might as well steal my clothes. I parked in front of my father's house. He was never home at this time. So I carried the bin bags I came with and let mysel
Accidental Claim 30 Joke of the day
Ruby We decided to drive to the venue in my car. Jasper preferred to take his but mine was better looking than his, so he agreed to drive mine instead. Jasper was dressed in jeans, a black t-shirt and a suit jacket. He looked hot and smashing. He looked like the Alpha he was, and he looked hot. I wished he wasn't packless. I would have shown him off. Randolph was a hottie, but he was nothing compared to Jasper. The moment we arrived at the venue, we parked in the visitors' car park. Racheal had gone through the trouble of marking where we would park so we would not have to deal with the vicious pack members. I knew I looked hot in my clothes, but I could not confidently wear them because I had stolen them from my father's house. The moment we stepped into the hall. The place went silent, and everyone was giving me angry stares. The ushers rudely showed Jasper and me our table, which was in a corner away from everyone. Suddenly I wished I didn't come. Racheal promised she would m
Accidental Claim 31 Sounds Like A Plan
Jasper Ruby was silent all through the drive back, and I was nervous. I did not know whether she would take it out on me or not. My claiming her literally screwed her life up. As much as I care for her, I honestly wish I didn't claim her the way I did. Her father did not intend to hurt her, but the man had no choice. His Alpha had it in for my mate. The delta that arrested her said people saw Ruby park in front of her father's house and carry bin bags to her car. With that statement, it was clear it wasn't her father who sold her out. Everything was just complicated, and I blamed myself for it. If I had taken the event more seriously, I would have borrowed some money from Cindy and got her a dress. All I had to do was get her a dress and a joining gift, and she wouldn't have had to go crazy the way she did. I felt like a total failure. One thing was sure, if Ruby did not flip out and leave, then I would have to get her back her honour, no matter what. The moment we entered our ap
Accidental Claim 32 After The Event
Jasper I left for work in the morning before Ruby woke up. She was so distraught and cried most of the night. It really broke my heart. I needed the showroom up and running in no time. I had a plan, and I needed to speed things up. It was okay to suck and be a nobody alone, but hearing them use those words on my mate got to me. It took a lot of control for Leon not to go on a rampage. I was determined to never let them have a reason to use those hurtful words on my mate again. I got to work and went straight to the workshop. My assistant, Godwin, was yet to resume, so I decided to attempt calling Liam. I was hopeful that he might have access to phone service now. He was a businessman, so he could only be away from his phone for some time. Two weeks was a long break. I was hoping to get through this time. My heart soared when his number began to ring. He answered. "Jasper! how have you been?" He asked me, as always, and I replied "I need your help," I said, and he was attentive.
