Chapter 259 Ruby

• We walked into Jake’s house. It was the first time I had been here, and I had been worried about the fact I was coming alone, but it didn’t feel awkward, weirdly. It was a gorgeous house. I knew that the group of friends had all built their homes on the lake after Knox and Lilah had got together, and Dan and Indie, too, from what they had told me when we had been chatting over a coffee one time when painting. Wanting their homes all close together with them all being so close, and I have to say I love the idea. It is like a little village of their own, and the views of the lake are gorgeous in the summer. I have spent many a evening in the gardens of my cousin and my sister, overlooking the lake, drinking wine or coffee or hot chocolate with them, chatting away about anything and everything.
• As much as I miss the fact I have my memories of being with Seb at the Crimson Night Pack, and that his body is buried there, I love everything else about this pack. It is amazing, and the scenery is to die for. We were blessed being given the opportunity to move here we really were. And Alpha Knox, while I know he is feared throughout the country, knowing him personally through him being friends with my family members now, I know he is a sweet guy, and definitely a family man, and he's a fair and honest Alpha. So we were lucky to have him as our Alpha. Plus, it meant we got Jake as our Beta, so that meant I had gained a good friend.
• The home was neutrally decorated, in greys and blacks. Some of the art on the walls I assume would likely be that of Lilah and Indie as their artwork was amazing. The furniture was sleek and modern, and looked like it had been carefully thought about when bought. I know Jake, as well as Manuel and Gabe, had built their homes before meeting their mates, which is unusual, because they wanted to make sure they could have the plots near their friends so they could all live close to one another. Which I have to say I find incredibly endearing.
