“Xander,” his friend called; even before he turned to look at Rupert, he’d heard the edge to his voice.

Rupert left it at that, not adding anything, which made Xander think that their campaign probably had a hiccup; he had bad news.

“What's the matter, now?” he sighed.

In all honesty, he’d taken a step back from the New Reign; Lucian had started to act irrationally, feeling threatened perhaps. Xander – or more accurately, Xander’s relationship with a certain prickly woman – was the reason why they were ahead, and the head of the party knew it. While Lucian would more than likely be elected as their Ruler, he hadn’t won the public, and the young fool was childish enough to resent Xander instead of counting his blessings.

Rupert warned him somberly, “You’re not gonna like this.” Then, he told him.

Thirty seconds later, bursting through his elegant home, jumping behind the wheels of his fastest car, Xander wondered if Rupert had somehow found some weed to smoke; not gonna like this? That didn’t even begin to cover it. Xander was furious. Angry at everything, he sped through the streets, barely missing those who crossed his path.

He couldn’t remember ever feeling quite as angry, or worried for that matter. Xander barely remembered his way in, but finally, he was standing at the entrance of a sparse hospital room, and glaring at the slight figure wearing a beige gown in the bed.

“What’s the damage?”

He’d turned towards the nurse who stood at the end of a bed, fussing with a chart.

The woman looked confused and startled, glancing from Ruth to him, and back again. He had to give her some credit for not spilling her guts the second an angry Alpha was demanding answers; it wasn’t until Ruth nodded her assent that the staff members told him.

“Ruby will be just fine in a few days. She has some bruises – those on her ribs are going to hurt some – but nothing too alarming. She wouldn’t even be here if her head hadn’t hit the pavement. But as there’s no sign of concussion, she’ll be ready to go as soon as the doctor signs her off.”

Some of his worry subsided, which only served to make him angrier.

The nurse wisely chose this moment to run away, and Xander walked in the room, his fists curled up. He wanted to hit something but as the vermin who’d done that to her wasn’t in the vicinity, he didn’t have a target. His punching bag would get a hell of a workout, later.

“You’re not going back to Lowtown.”

He said it like an order because that was exactly what it was, but she laughed. Outright laughed at him.

“You really think a lowtowner would do this to me?”

As per usual, her anger matched his own, never faltering. But Xander was tired of their game, tired of always exploding like a child when they were both grown ass adults; particularly him. So instead of starting another argument, he bit out, “Explain.”

She was visibly surprised, and given what she knew of him, he couldn’t really blame her.
