Chapter Eighteen

Charlie

We landed in Toronto and got to Ruby’s house as quickly as possible, which was pretty fast, given that Levi had arranged everything once we landed. There was no scrambling to find a car or dealing with traffic, because the driver of our SUV knew all the ways to bypass congestion and got us to Ruby’s place in record time.

Kane was updated repeatedly on the flight about the situation on the ground. Jared had been dealt with. I wasn’t asking how, but I had a feeling he wouldn’t be showing up on Toronto streets ever again. It was brutal, but whatever they did to him would have been far more humane than what he was heading toward as the full moon grew closer.

Ruby, thank fuck, was secured. So, when I barged into her small apartment, I was amped up, yes, but not in a scared-for-my-friend’s-life kind of way. It was more like a fuck, how am I going to explain this sort of thing.

Ruby was in the kitchen, cooking up a storm when I burst into the compact room. She had a spatula in her hand, bacon frying on the stove, pancakes on a countertop griddle and three huge men hunkered down at the crammed table, shoveling food into their mouths like they’d never seen it before.

“Charlie!” Ruby cheered. Her long hair was in a topknot, her bangs parted in a haphazard kind of way. She had a sheen of sweat on her forehead, and her cheeks glowed pink. The kitchen was warm and oozing with smells that made my mouth water. “These friends of yours are bottomless pits! I’ve made a million pancakes already.”

“This is the best food I’ve had in decades,” Lex said with his mouth full of everything. “Seriously, woman, you’re a master chef.”

She was grinning so hard her face looked like it was about to split, and her eyes sparkled like I hadn’t seen in a long time. I squeezed into her space and gave her a big hug, soaking in her cinnamon scent and familiar embrace. There was nothing like having a friend like Ruby—no obligations, no wolfie protocols or expectations, just love and acceptance.

“You’re okay? Jared didn’t hurt you?” I gulped around the lump in my throat, still unsure how I was going to break it to Ruby that Jared wouldn’t be coming back ever. He might have been her ex, but I knew Ruby well enough to suspect she’d be looking out for him once she got past their breakup. She cared, maybe too much, about everyone in her life, past and present.

Ruby laughed. “Hell no. I kneed him in the nuts and ripped out a chunk of his hair right as these guys showed up, saying they were friends of yours.” She leaned closer then whispered, “Where were you hiding these hunks, Charlie? Seriously, they’re gorgeous.”

I heard a chuckle and knew that the gorgeous hunks had heard Ruby, despite her attempt to keep it quiet. I pulled back and gave her a once-over, making double sure she was unhurt before I turned to the three at the table.
