Ruby. I couldn't believe what Nala did to us. I was still dumbfounded. The three of us were speechless; sleep eluded us. How could someone be so greedy and wicked at the same time? She had sold us out for what?" The bitch was delusional to think David would settle for her. I felt sorry for Ian. Nala was the biggest mistake of his life. "What will we do now?" Cindy asked. "Teach the bitch a lesson," Racheal said, and I raised an eyebrow at her. "Did you hear yourself?" I asked, and she nodded. "Loud and clear, Rub. I will whip her butt, and nothing will happen. I can still take her without my wolf; she is fair game. They can't be bothered if she isn't an Ace wolf." She said, and I knew she was right. I wanted to beat her up too, but I will leave her for the one who hates her the most: Racheal. We eventually slept. Someone came to wake us up very early in the morning. The sun wasn't up yet, and they wanted us to do some chores. Knowing that Nala was behind our predicament gave me
Jasper Everyone living far away from Brooksbridge arrived a day before the meeting. Among them were council members, Alphas and hunters. It was clear it would be a big deal. None of us cared about this meeting. It was being forced. We had issues. Our mates were missing, and their captors were yet to reach out to us. We did not know if they were alive or dead. The suspense was going to make me go mad. It took a lot to keep my emotions in check and my sanity. I was angry. Randolph had started blaming himself, saying he shouldn't have let Reacheal leave, but how could he have known that something like this was going to happen? The complex had always been safe. He wouldn't have let her leave if he knew she wasn't safe. He wasn't an Ace wolf. He was expected to view himself as less threatening to the intruders. This was genuinely my fault. If Brooksbridge had tackled this matter properly, we would not have these issues. The day of the meeting was finally upon us. The council members le
Ruby. We could not believe that the council was in on this. I needed to know what they were discussing, so we lingered a bit, and then I sauntered to the cabin they entered, picking up on the conversation I hid so no one could see me. Cindy and Racheal were on the lookout. "You need to be careful, Tammy. Petra is a bit too childish for her own good," I heard the man warn Tammy, and she giggled. "She can be that way, but she has abilities that even the Macsim can't fathom," She said, assuring the man he had nothing to worry about. "Yet you have been unable to subdue him," He asked her, and she sighed. "He has help. Abel is with him, and his brother Ian and cousin are as loyal as hell," She complained. I was proud of them in those moments. Hearing that their loyalty was genuine made my heart swell. "Hasn't his bitch been able to woo him to our side?" He asked, and she sighed. "It seems like it, but he has not given us any useful information. It was Nala that gave us the informatio
Racheal. I regretted my decision to go to the complex when Gamma David loaded us into the van. The way Ruby surrendered made me know we were truly fucked. She didn't even put up a fight, and she wasn't like that. Ruby was a powerful woman. I guess having mated to an Ace wolf, she knew precisely the danger we were in. That did not stop me from teasing the guy. There was no way Clara and I were going to make it easy. I might not be physically strong, but my mouth was as sharp as a blade, and I knew how deeply words could cut. I was hopeless at that moment. Since Randolph did not bother to come and get me from the complex, I doubted he would want to rescue me. Maybe he was over it by now. I wasn't hopeful about surviving. The scenario played in my head and wasn't such a good one. They would call Randolph, and he would tell them to do as they pleased. Besides, with me dead, he would be a free man to do whatever he liked. I knew I was doomed. The moment the ace wolves realised I wasn't val
Ruby. I could not believe Racheal's behaviour. She had chickened out in the last minutes. What if we really needed her to grab the baby? She would have foiled the plan with her actions. I was mad at her. Now that she did this, we would be dealt with if we got caught. The whole excuse of wanting to beat Nala up would not fly again. They would know our true intentions, and only the goddess knew what they would do to us. Racheal was full of it. If she got caught, we would be in trouble too. Either way, we had to ensure we succeeded at what we were doing. "What if she wakes up?" Cindy linked me, and I smiled, trying to hide my worry. "I will grab her neck and put her to sleep," I replied. Killing her was the right way to go, but I did not know how Ian would feel about it. I also did not want to tell the baby we were about to grab that I killed its mother. It was weird we never found out about the baby's sex. I guess our lack of interest in the child also helped them relax too. It wasn'
Jasper. The council had annoyed me greatly. Bryce Morgan was a complete douchebag. The solution was simple. All we had to do was work together. Equal load, equal effort. But the arsehole wanted Randolph and me to bear all the risks. There was a possibility he had it in for the two of us. The fact that he was adamant about it spoke volumes. He was heartless. Knowing what we were going through, he still had the effrontery to suggest what he did. Did it ever occur to him that we could be high risk because our mates were with the enemy? Did it occur to him that we could easily switch sides? If I were him, I would leave Randolph, Kevin and me out of the equation because we were already compromised. He was doing us a lot of favour by cutting us off. I could now focus solely on getting my mate back. The scared look on the faces of the alphas and pack representatives present was priceless. I guess the reality of the situation had dawned on them. They had come here so I could help them. Bryce
Jasper. Ian growled and howled for a bit while holding his son. His soul was pained. His wolf was enraged. I knew Nala was a bitch, but I did not realise the extent of her wickedness until now. We had spent a lot of energy looking for that bitch. She had spoken to him at night, lying about her situation. Ian had felt guilty for her predicament. How could we have guessed that she was in on it? Warming another man's bed and plotting against all of us. What would drive her to do such a thing? I went to console Ian. Uncle Abel and I patted him slowly. "Good riddance. Glad you got your baby. Do not let it get to you." Abel told him, and Ian was calming down. "That woman was no good, Ian. She had tried to fuck all of us here while pregnant. She never loved you. You were just a tool for her." Kevin said. "She likes to bully people, Ian, and you afforded her that luxury; the moment she knew she couldn't bully anyone here, she got apprehensive," Cindy told him. "You should see her at the
Ian. Nala had hurt me so many times, but this was the worst. Joining forces with the enemy to work against my brother was the height of things. Jasper did not have to take us in, he did not have to give me a rank, and he did not have to help, yet he did. What more did she want? We belonged to a pack, and I was the third most important wolf there. Yet she felt it wasn't enough. She gave me hell for not challenging an Alpha and taking over a pack, and then I hear she is screwing a Gamma. The woman was a confused bitch. I honestly loved her. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. I saw all her destructive behaviours, but I overlooked them because I knew I could deal with them. I knew she made passes at Jasper and his friends, but I also knew they wouldn't spare her a glance. She wasn't as attractive as she thought, and they had beautiful mates they were devoted to. Above all, they respect the fact that she was with me. I had just met Jasper, but I loved my little brother compl
