Sorry, it came late. I had to sleep. I will get some rest today. Thank you. I hope the story is building up nicely. Thank you for the love and support. The gems, reviews and comments are highly appreciated.
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
Jasper. We emerged from the forest and found a search party. They said Ruby put them to it. It was evident that the settlement was in disarray. I could understand their fear. We had disappeared without warning, no phone calls, nothing. We went into the woods to neutralise a threat and did not return; I could imagine how the explanation would sound to our mates. I dreaded what would happen to me in our bedroom. Ruby was bound to be mad, and I wouldn't blame her. "The pack loves you, Nikolas," Uncle Abel said, and I sighed. This was all his fault; he should have just escorted us back instead of being dramatic and ushered us to his camp. Now we all had explaining to do. I felt sorry for Randolph and Ian most. Kevin and I had it good because our mates were understanding. Brian had none, so he was alright. "We walked toward the mansion, and the women were waiting at the entrance. Someone must have linked Ruby about our arrival. With how they were dressed, it seemed as if they were ready
Jasper. Ruby and I did not fall asleep immediately, but I did not discuss the issues with the council Law any further. I understood her point of view, and I did not want to force her to see things my way. We slept in the early morning hours while watching a movie, and I did not intend to do any work the next day. I woke up to the smell of food. From the scent, I knew it did not come from the kitchen. Ruby arranged the food at the breakfast table, and I smiled at her. "Finally awake," she said, and I noticed her hand was okay. Whatever the doctor gave her worked. "The guys have come to check on you twice already. Your uncle is eager to see you," She said, and I got up and went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and returned. Hugging Ruby from behind, I kissed my mark on her neck, and she giggled. "I decided to cook. I missed it," she said, looking at the spread. It looked precisely like Livingston. "I know you miss our farmhouse," I told her, and she was silent because she did no
Jasper. After the meeting in the lounge, I decided to take a walk with my uncle. It was vital for him to understand that I did not intend to overthrow the council. There were laws against it, and I doubted if I wanted to be on the wrong side of the law. It was annoying that the council did not want to help with the attacks and Petra's cult, but I did not want to work against them. "You have a good thing going on for you here, Jasper," he said, calling me Jasper for the first time. I guess he caught on that the people closest to me referred to me as Jasper and not Nikolas, as he had been saying. "Navel was proud of you. I heard you held your wolf form for two months. That is unheard of. The max I have heard is a month." He said, and I laughed. "My son Garnet held form for six weeks, and it would have been longer if it was because of his twin," I said, and he looked at me, surprised. "You mean Ruby birthed strong pubs?" he asked, and I laughed. "An Alpha and Gamma," I said, and he
Jasper. I returned to my office to deal with pack matters while uncle Abel returned to his pack members at the hotel they were staying at. We were yet to get proper accommodation for them. I sat at the desk and thought of all he had discussed with me. My uncle had his point about the council, but cleansing the board would be challenging and could cause war. I always try to avoid war by all means, and this would definitely be a bad one if I dared to set things in motion. It was best that I did not bother and just handled what was needed. Which was Petra's cult. I called a meeting, and Randolph was the first to arrive. Kevin was far away, and Brain and Ian were busy working on the security details. Randolph sat on the couch and lifted a magazine from the stool on the side of the sofa. The guy looked depressed, and I had been hoping he would open up. "Is everything alright with you?" I asked him, and he looked at me and smiled. He looked troubled; I knew it was either pack issues o
Ruby. Jasper's uncle had entertained us with his stories. Still in the entertainment mood, we decided to have a small tea get-together in the lounge close to Jasper's office. I did not want to be couped up in the room. My arm had healed, and I felt it would be best to stay closer to Jasper's office. Besides, that was also where Noelle's classroom was. Her knitting and quilting classes had made her a lot of money. I also helped her once in a while. Walking from my bedroom to Noelle's classroom was tedious, so I stayed there. I ordered the staff to bring us tea and snacks, which was nice. We did not want Nala there because she wasn't a part of us. She was crude and uncouth, but we knew we had to tolerate her. Racheal wasn't looking very happy, and from all indications, she and Randolph had had a major fight. We did not want Nala with us, but we tried to be polite. " How does being a Luna feel like?" Nala asked Racheal and me, and I smiled at her. Cindy got up to serve the tea, and I
Jasper. It had been two weeks, and our guests were finally leaving. The fact that Petra's group was quiet made us nervous because we couldn't tell what she was up to or where she had moved to. The fact that Lakewood or Derbyshire might be her next stop got us nervous, and it was time for them to return so they could manage their territories. Rachel had gotten a characteristics Study expert for her twins to give them a hint of their breed. I believed it was unnecessary and misleading. I also believed Randolph should make peace with himself on the matter and enjoy the life he had at the moment, but the Hills were hell-bent on figuring out the type of wolf their daughters would have. Characteristics study isn't accurate; they warn and say it is based on speculations. Why would anyone want to make a significant decision based on Speculation? Other breeds can be authoritative and strong too. The only thing an Alpha Breed has over others is domination which comes in handy when people don'
Jasper. I could not believe the council came to ask for my help. I sat on my chair and stared at the four people the council sent to me, trying to determine my response to their request. I leaned forward and looked at Brenda. "Mr Paul Willis and Janet Olsen came here from the council three weeks ago and said that the ace wolves were my problem and that the council would not step in unless it becomes a general problem," I said and leaned back in my chair while rubbing Ruby's back. "I am sorry he came across as offensive, but we have a policy that unless four or more packs have the same issue, we are not to step in," Brenda explained, and I smiled at her. "Very well then, I no longer have the same issues as I did three weeks ago. Mr Willis gave me the sense to be resourceful, and I have resolved the matter. The council can feel free to step in for the rest of the pack," I said to her, and her eyes widened. "These wolves are your kind, you know the other packs and their alphas don't
