eyes. “They are still in the city. When Ruby was freed, she looked out a window for a brief minute. I could see the Denver skyline. I just can"t tell you where because she does not know.” Levi took a deep breath and relaxed. His mates were safe, for the moment, and they were together. At least they would only have to storm one building, and they were together. He was been so worried that Ruby was alone and scared. At least she had Reggie to lean on. He did not want to even think about how she felt about him right now. She had to blame him, he did.
Levi nodded and looked at his Alpha and friend and said, “We will be ready.”

“Mother, who the fuck do I need to talk to in order to get the hell out of here? Ruby and I both need a change of clothes and other stuff.” Reggie said demandingly. He had never spoken to his mother like this, but he was damn sick and tired of her acting this way. She had gone off the deep end. “Where is dad?”
“Young man, I don"t like the tone you are taking with me. Everything I have done, I have done for you.” Barbara whined from the couch. She was still in the same spot as when he left earlier.
“Where is dad?” Reggie asked rudely, not caring if he pissed her off or not. Ruby stayed silently by his side holding on to his hand like it was a lifeline. He was going to be strong for her. Reggie never had a reason to be strong or be a leader. His mate needed him, and he was not going to let her down.
“We need to talk about that.” His mother said looking around the room, so she would not have to look him in the eyes.
“WHERE THE FUCK IS DAD?” Reggie yelled.
Ruby jumped at the tone of his voice. He knew that he should tone it down, but he really was getting pissed.
“Fine, now listen, your father, and I had a difference in opinions. He told the Master that he was going to do what had to be done, but when push came to shove, he did not mean it. Your father was too worried about her and what her new friends would think.” Barbara sneered. “I showed him though. I told the Master what he was thinking and planning. As if he could get away with going to Oliver and telling him what we planned all those years ago.”
“I am only going to ask you one more time, mother. Then it is going to get ugly, old woman. Explain what is going on right now, or so help me.” Reggie said and stepped forward only to feel his mate"s hand restrain him a little. Who was he becoming?
“You father made his own bed. I have no clue where he is. You will have to ask the Master when he gets here. The guards said he would be here shortly.” Barbara sniffed and then stood and patted her hair. “I am going to make tea and cookies for our company, you, and your mate should freshen up. You are a mess, and I can smell you.”
“Fuck you.” Reggie growled and paced the floor while his mother left the room in a snit.
Ruby watched him closely; he started to get a little worried that he scared her, until he noticed the small smile on her face. “What?”
“Nothing, well, it is just that I never got to actually meet you when you came to town.
Then you were in an accident, and we were kidnapped, and you know what happened when you woke up. This is the first time I have seen you upright. You are handsome.” Ruby laughed. “And definitely sexy, when you are mad.” Reggie blushed and looked at his mate. “And you are gorgeous and I believe I adore you already.” He said and stepped in front of her. He pulled her close, bent, and kissed her gently. “Ummmm, maybe we should take a shower and get cleaned up.” He whispered against her lips. “I can wash your back, and you can wash mine.” Ruby chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Levi was not the cuddling type, she thought, but Reggie, she could see them curled on the couch watching movies and shopping together holding hands and walking along the streets. Levi was gruff and hard. She wanted to take care of him, make him dinner, and
