Jasper. I woke up early and got ready to leave. I linked Ian to do the same. They had hitched a ride to get to Livingston, which meant they would be coming with us in our vehicle. I did not want to sit in the back seat with Nala, so I decided I would plead with Raymond to sit in the back while I sat in the passenger's seat. Soon Maxwell and Raymond arrived, and it was time to leave. I microwaved some leftovers and handed them to Ian for his mate to have something to eat on our way back. I knew she could not endure six hours on the road without eating. "Thanks, Jasper. I was going to ask for it." Ian said, and I smiled at him. If only he knew he was trying too hard for the wrong chick. Ruby did not love me initially. She was too mad to even notice that I cared, but she never threw herself at others or pressured me to give her anything. When she came around, she was content with what I had. Nala was something else. She wanted more than Ian could afford, and I wondered how far she w
Jasper. "Get dressed, Ru," I said to my mate. I was yet to meet Randolph and Kevin, and I knew they would be up already, but I needed the doctor to check Ruby's arm. Ace wolves sometimes had venom in their saliva, especially the physically weak ones. I wanted to be sure Ruby wasn't poisoned. Although the poison is not fatal, it slows down a wolf's healing capacity, which is not good during battle because it means certain death. "I am tired, Jasper. Can't we just stay in bed? You just got back, for goodness sake," She complained, pouting. I went back to the bed where she was sitting and planted a wet kiss on her lips. "I need to ensure you were not poisoned by Ace wolf saliva. Your arm should have healed better than this by now," I told her, and she frowned at me. "Ruby, I just want to make sure you are okay. Brookbridge hospital has remedies for such things." I said to put her at ease because her face was riddled with worry when I told her what I suspected. She reluctantly got
Jasper. Everyone was waiting in the ante-room when ruby and I arrived. Randolph and Kevin stood up and approached me. We shook and hugged. "Glad you could both make it under short notice," I thanked them, and Randolph smiled at me. "Anything for you, buddy," he said, and I looked at Ian and Brian. I was glad Nala wasn't there. "Randolph, Kevin, meet my older brother, Ian. He is now the gamma of Brooksbridge." I said, introducing Ian, and he stood up and shook my friends. "Pleased to meet you," Randolph said, shaking his hands firmly. "Me too," Kevin said, shaking Ian's hand. "What the fuck, Jasper. Is this not Pavel?" Kevin linked me, and I smiled to play it off. "We will talk later," I linked him back, and he did not say anything else. "Shall we?" I asked everyone, and they stood up. Ruby went with Rachael and Cindy while we headed to the cold room. "Are you sure you are up for this?" I asked Ian, and he smiled at me. "This will be fun, Jasper. I have wanted to belong somew
Ruby. Jasper returned to the room, a bit worried. I wondered what the issue was, but I did not want to push it. Kevin had requested we have a barbecue party, and Rachel, Cindy and I were on it. I was yet to speak to Nala, but she smelled like trouble. I did not trust her or her mate, but that was me, always suspecting everyone. I had never been betrayed before, but I did not want to experience it, so I expected nonsense from everyone except Jasper. He wasn't capable of crossing me. His love was pure and solid. "What's the matter, babe?" I asked him, motioning him to help me with my jeans. Having a broken arm sucked, and I hated that it wasn't healing fast enough. I didn't envy humans much because they recovered even slower than this. It must be hard having to move about with a bone fracture for weeks. Mine was going to take days, and I hated it. Jasper smiled at me, and I knew he would be more than willing to help with my jeans. "With all pleasure, babe," he said, and I knew wha
Jasper The barbecue event was fun, and I was glad Kevin organised it. They all got to experience Ian's soft side and took to him quickly. Nala did not disappoint either, she showed her true colours to Ruby, and I was glad my mate put her in her place. I knew Ruby tolerated her for Ian's sake, and I was delighted she put my brother into consideration and did not embarrass him. I looked at the clock, and it was almost twelve o'clock. I knew that the werewolf council representative would soon arrive. I looked at Ruby, and she was sleeping peacefully. I looked at her hand, hoping it would have healed a bit by now. I leaned to kiss her, and she woke up after I planted a kiss on her lips. "Jasper," she groaned, and I smiled at her. "Afternoon," I said, and she fluttered her eyes and then focused her stare. "We slept till afternoon?" she asked, and I helped her sit up. "Wow, we had a long night," she said, and I laughed. "Bath or shower?" I asked her, and she smiled. "Shower.
Jasper. "What do we do now?" Brian asked after the council arseholes had left, and I did not know what to say. I was mad, too, and I did not understand why the guy would act cool after seeing what we showed him. "He doesn't speak for the council. He still has to run it by them," Randolph said, and Ian shook his head. "Unless it becomes their problem, they would not do shit about it. These people are as selfish as hell." He said, and I knew he was telling the truth from how the guy spoke; it indicated they would not do anything about it. We had to come up with our plan. "We have three packs together," Randolph pointed out, " And the hunters will help us. Our chances are not that bad." Ian shook his head. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Hunters might not be of help unless they have the same remedy the hunters of the past had. Silver only slows them down. Jasper and I are more susceptible to silver because of our werewolf genes. Pure breeds can't be killed with silver whic
Ruby. I met Racheal and Cindy in the room. Garnet and Emerald were sleeping, but Susan and Isabelle were something else. They fought about everything those two, and they remind me of Racheal. She used to fight me over my toys when we were little. I noticed Racheal wasn't looking so happy, and I did not know if I should ask her since the nannies were present. Susan and Isabelle were fighting over a Plush bunny toy, so I linked a nanny to get another like it in the store because I knew most of the toys were in doubles when I arrived. She left to get it while I went to separate them. I pulled Isabelle close and told her to calm down and that someone was bringing her the same toy. I hoped she understood me well enough because she let go of the bunny, and Susan went away with it. Usually, Racheal would laugh, but she just smiled. I noticed that the triplets and their nannies were not in the room, so I asked Cindy where they were. "Strolling. I needed it," she said, rolling her eyes, and i
Jasper. We walked quietly until we got to a small camp deep in the woods. There was no way we would have known these people were here, but it seemed as if they had just come because their tents were new. Someone brought us joggers, to wear, and I gladly took them from them because the women at the camp were ogling us. Abel seemed relaxed and less threatening than he was when they surrounded us. We were led to a tent, and I hoped we would soon be done with the meeting. Ruby would panic because it was already late. I did not want to think of Racheal and Nala at the moment. I felt sorry for Randolph and Ian. Sitting on the chair I was offered, I looked at Abel, and he smiled. "You look like Navel, Nikolas," he said, and I nodded, not knowing if it was a compliment or an insult. "May we get straight to the point, please. Like I said, I do not want our mates to get worried." I said, and he nodded. "I understand," he said and sat down. He rubbed his face to relieve stress, and I knew
