• A Home of Amethyst and Storm   Mated

  The first haze over, Ruby realized what had just happened. She'd found her mate. She turned around to find him sleeping next to her. Smiling, she touched his cheek, realizing the most beautiful man in the world was now hers.A harsh reality hit her, though. Jamie was still dead, the murderer had not yet been found, nor had she chosen a new beta. As if noticing the stir in her mood, Jules woke up, kissed his mate on the cheek, and asked her "What's wrong?""I need to get back to the Amazone pack. My beta was murdered, I can't stay here, I have to continue my search.""Search? For the murderer or a new beta?""Both, I really don't want to replace Jamie." Ruby sighed as the death of her friend hit her at full power. Jules pulled her against his chest and stroked her hair as he said, "I don't know what to tell you or how to help you find either of the two. However, I can comfort you and support you where you need it. Just tell me how I can help you and I will

  "You're perfect!" The stranger in front of Ruby said breathlessly as he rushed over to her. "What is your name, angel?""It's Ruby." Ruby barely managed to get the sound out of her throat. She was absolutely starstruck by this perfect stranger in front of her. Her mate. The one who would be with her and cherish her for the rest of her life."Ruby, the perfect name for a perfect angel." The stranger said. "My name's Jules."Jules. He was perfect, is perfect. Ruby reached out to touch him."You're real." She said as tears started to pool in her eyes.Jules took her hands and closed the distance between them, pulling her into a close embrace. His scent enveloped Ruby. "Peaches," Jules said. "You smell like fresh peaches and lemon, it's the best thing I've ever smelled." He nuzzled his face deeper into Ruby's neck. The touch shot sparks all throughout her body and a small involuntary moan escaped her lips. She relaxed into his arms as his mouth started

• A Home of Amethyst and Storm   Spark

  The weeks after Jamie's death were hectic for everyone. Ruby was trying to juggle several important tasks. She was trying to lead her pack and still trying to deal with the uprisings in the border regions. She was trying to find Jamie's murderer with very little evidence to go on, and she had to find someone new to fulfill the role of beta in the Amazone pack.She was mostly bothered by the last two tasks. Replacing Jamie was something she didn't want to think of quite yet, although Dylan had taken over some of his tasks quite quickly to relieve Ruby of some work. He was currently on a mission on their northern border, trying to find and eliminate rogues. He did already let her know that he was happy in his role as gamma, so he wouldn't be filling Jamie's role permanently.The killer had barely left a trace, other than the severely mangled body. It frustrated Ruby endlessly that nothing had come up during her research. She'd already felt incredibly powerless when she f

• A Home of Amethyst and Storm   Confrontation

  Ruby barely registered the people entering Jamie's house as she ran past them all. Her wolf, Rosa was begging her to let her take the reigns. She was begging Ruby to let her avenge Jamie. Ruby was barely able to keep her more aggressive self at bay as she stormed towards the council house.The moment she saw Thomas, he was flying through the room. "IT WAS YOU, WASN'T IT? YOU DID THIS!"Thomas smirked. "What exactly did I do to have you flying into this fit of rage?""Don't pretend to be stupid," Ruby answered, her wolf coming to the foreground more and more. "I already thought I smelled him on you earlier. You have nowhere to go now and I'm going to kill you." Ruby already started to feel her bones trying to displace themselves, but she held back with all her might. "You can insult me, I can take it, but killing my beta? You murdered my friend, my second in command."Thomas's face went bright red as his own wolf started to surface. "Jamie's de

• A Home of Amethyst and Storm   Council Meeting

  As Ruby neared the council house, she could hear raised voices growing louder. She could make out the voices of several Alphas of other packs arguing back and forth. The discussion seemed to get more heated by the second and Ruby was not looking forward in the slightest to going inside.'Take a deep breath' the familiar voice inside her said 'and go.' Ruby took a deep breath and opened the door. As she stepped inside, 12 heads cocked towards her. Both Thomas and her dad rushed towards her, her dad in a protective stance in front of her. Thomas glared at her dad."Step away old man. The bitch has to die for this humiliation.""What humiliation?" Ruby asked. "The one where you questioned my leadership and I handed your ass to you? You need to get over yourself. Be happy I didn't rip your head off your shoulders." Her voice was ice."Now that's a whole different story." Alpha Remus, alpha of the Blue Crystal pack, replied. The various voices at t

• A Home of Amethyst and Storm   A Failed Solstice

  "Good morning, my lovey!" Ruby heard the voice of her best friend, her footsteps coming ever closer. "How are you this fine morning?" Elaine's smiling face popped around. Ruby loved her friend dearly, but unlike her, she was not a morning person. "Coffee first, talk second." Ruby replied as she emptied a freshly brewed pot into a mug and took a sip of the god-that's-so-'good drink. Her friend observed her as the dark beverage helped her come to life."Want some too?" Ruby asked, already grabbing the pot and a clean mug. "No thanks, I've got to run in a bit. I just wanted to check up on you. Last night was pretty rough, another solstice without a mate, huh?""Ohh, I'm perfectly fine, but thanks for stopping by, my dearie." Ruby lied through her teeth and she knew Elaine noticed that before she even answered. Ruby had no intention of making a sob-fest out of this still calm, hangover-ridden morning.The solstices come around four times a year and each
