Adryan had been meaning to talk with Jade, but it seemed like whenever he tried talking to her something or the other just seemed to pop up out of nowhere. Currently, he had been working in his office he had built in his house, when suddenly the door bursts open. Now, Adryan usually hated when people did that, disturbing him by rudely barging through the door, and he would've snapped at them, he didn't already know who the culprit was. "Adryan, you won't believe what I'm about to tell you!!! Oh god, I can't believe this myself." Violet says as soon she barges open the door. "Violet" Adryan sighs, tiredly rubbing his forehead after witnessing Violet's yet another dramatic entry, she loved to annoy him, she also knew how much Adryan hated people barging in and interrupting his Alpha duty, so she had taken it upon herself to annoy him as much as she could. She was lucky that she was his close friend, and his best friend/beta's mate, making her the beta female. "What is it?" Adryan ask
"Oh, and did you tell Jade about tomorrow's events?" Violet asks already knowing her answer when she gets a groan in reply. 'Fuck' Adryan thought as he remembered that he had never told Jade about the next day's events for which he had preparing for the past two days. "Good luck with that, Alpha" with that said, Violet takes her departure. - Jade had been hauled up in Adryan's house for the past two days, she hadn't gotten around to going out yet because she was skittish going out and facing the pack members alone, all on her own, Violet seemed busy with her beta female duties but visited once a day to check in. She had resorted to cleaning the house, baking and taking care of a very fussy Adonis. She hadn't seen much of Adryan too after their pack tour her first day, when she asked Violet about it, who gave her a sly smile in reply but said that he was busy preparing for something which was supposed to happen soon. Jade has found solitude in the outdoor balcony Adryan's house had
She stared at the strawberry blonde haired, green eyed girl who looked back at her, Jade's eyes swept the entire span of her body which was adorned in a long white lace evening gown, its off the shoulder tulle puffy sleeves with the sweetheart neckline showing of her collarbones. Jade had decided not to do anything with her face, wearing her long hair down, with her face makeup free. What Jade felt a bit skeptic wearing the dress was the split in the dress that went down the side, exposing her right leg, she felt like it was too much for an initiation ceremony, but she had no other option as she didn't own any dress of her own, and the only person that could help out was busy preparing for the event, Violet had left the dress on her bed in a box for her but Jade hadn't paid any attention to it, which she regretted now. 'It seems like I have no other option' she thought to herself as she turned around, her eyes fell on Adonis who sat atop the bed, who seemed to be fiddling with the bla
"Alpha" Beta Brian speaks up, "it's time" Adryan nods his head at this."Come" Adryan says to Jade, placing a hand behind her back, guiding her and Adonis towards where the metal bowl was placed on the wooden table in the middle of the stage. The metal bowl had intricate designs along its circular sides. A detailed carving of the stages of a man changing into a wolf was carved into it with immaculate artistry.Jade and Adryan stand opposite each other, facing each other, with the metal bowl in the middle.Upon signaling Brian with his hands, who steps forward and hands Adryan a sharp knife, light reflecting off of its sharp and pointy edge. Its, handle was made of some kind of wood, which, just like the meta bowl, had designs carved into it, this one showing different phases of the moon. Adryan hands Adonis over to Brian, who stood beside him.Adryan takes the knife in his hands, he lifts his eyes to catch Jade's green ones, his eyes seem to ask her 'If she was ready?', Jade nods her h
The bunch of filthy rogues growl, revealing their sharp canines. As the first of them jump and attack, one of the warrior's wolf form, which was standing guard. Everyone else spring into action, the ones in the wolf form immediately jumping onto the nearest rogue, while the ones in human form transformed into their wolf form. Adryan turns to Jade. "JA-" even before he could call out to her, Jade had managed to shift into her wolf within matter of seconds. Adryan watched as she transformed, and now in her place stood a midnight black colored wolf with white fur around her ears and sides. Jade's wolf, Kira turns to look at him, and then turns back and runs into the field, where the chaotic fight had already started. Kira runs to help one of the she wolves fighting one of the rogues, who had managed to clamp its razor sharp claws onto her paws. 'Are you just going to stand there like an idiot or are you going to join the fight, Alpha?' Vince voices out inside Adryan's mind, making Adry
"Shift back" Adryan says to Vince for what felt like the thousandth time, but the reply he got was unfortunately that of the numerous times he had asked the question or more like ordered. 'Not until she wakes up' came his usual reply. It's been five hours since everything went down and Jade had been unconscious all this while, Vince was getting worried and paranoid as she wasn't waking up, Hence the reason why he wasn't letting Adryan take back control and he wouldn't until she wakes up and he see's for himself that she was okay. It was a task on Adryan's part to hold Vince back from taking full control of him, and from attacking the pack doctor and other pack members whenever they took a step in her direction. Vince would immediately growl at them like a rabid dog until they got the message and stepped back. Thankfully, Blaine, the pack doctor had said that she was just in shock and it would take her some time to wake up. Vince's huge hulking frame was resting beside the bed she
Jade stood shocked as she was still taking in what just happened moments before. Earlier she was pressed against a very naked Adryan and now she stood in an awkward position in front of him, basically shielding his naked body from Adeena who stood to the door of her room with a questioning look plastered onto her face."We were just talking" Adryan immediately blurts out.Jade wanted to face palm herself at his excuse, he could have at least said something more believable.Adeena looks at Adryan skeptically, "So you were talking to her while being completely naked?" she tilts her head to the side in question.Adryan's lips part as he realized how stupid his excuse sounded. Even though Jade stood in front of him, it didn't completely shield his body from being exposed to Adeena. She could make out his muscles as he tried hiding himself behind Jade, who was too small for him to completely cover himself.Adeena felt herself flush as she took in Adryan's exposed body. His well-formed chise
1 week laterIt had been one week since Jade and Adonis were initiated into the pack and the whole rogue attack went down, since then something around the pack house had changed. Pack members she saw seemed more alert and on edge, she could basically smell it on their scents, everyone has been silent, the usual carefree atmosphere forgotten for the time period. This only made Jade more confused and on edge. This only led her to believe that something serious was happening, and it seemed that everyone else excluding her seemed to know about.What further proved her theory was Adryan's absence during the week. He rarely came home, when she had inquired about his where abouts to Violet, she had let Jade know that he was busy with his Alpha duties and was on edge because of the rogue attack. Violet's words only confused Jade more, since she had been with him after she woke up from her unconscious state, Adryan seemed fine in fact he didn't look the least bit worried.Jade wasn't sure if he
"Darius" A voice roared, "You better come back here boy". A ten-year-old boy slammed a door open, he looked like he was running away from something, although his leg was injured, and he was unsteady on the right side of his leg due to the pain. He had no wolf, he wasn't like the average werewolf off springs who would be able to heal despite not being of age where they could shift.Struggling as he ran, not stopping at all, fearing that the person would catch up to him and he would have to go through something worse. All of a sudden he feels himself bump into someone and falls to the ground, wincing in pain."Darius" a soft voice calls out his name in confusion, looking up from the ground, his eyes meet a pair of warm ocean-blue eyes filled with worry. Her eyes took in his injured body, from his hands that had fresh wounds and slash markings, to his wrists that looked like he was tied down to something tightly, with his clothes tattered and barely hanging on by the end. Luna Alana w
1 year laterHead tilted toward the sky with her eyes closed, Jade feels the cool wind blow around her, brushing her skin ever so softly, as the first drop of rain drops, slowly, with one or two drops turning to a constant rhythmic dance as the rain gets heavier. Suddenly she didn't feel the raindrops on her skin anymore, opening her eyes, she was met with an umbrella above her head, and turned to the side to find a pair of violet-coloured eyes already staring back at her. A smile graces her face, wet hair strands sticking to her face. With his free hand, Darius tries to pull her under the shelter of the umbrella completely, only for Jade to knock the umbrella out of his hands completely, causing him to get drenched in the heavy rain as well.Darius pulls Jade closer to his body, his hands cupping her small face, bringing her face closer to his face, Jade closes her eyes anticipating him to kiss her when she feels his lips place a soft kiss on her forehead. Tingles spread throughout h
Flashback (5 years ago)Jade's eyes felt like someone had clued them together, her head was pounding as she sat up, and she could smell the burnt smell of flesh surrounding her, with people screaming around her, tears slid down her cheeks, she was thankful for the first time in her life for being blind, because she knew that she wouldn't be able to stomach the view around her. Death loomed in the air.Trying to stand up on her shaky legs, she stumbles but she doesn't fall to the ground like she expected herself to instead she feels someone's touch on her body, their cold hands supporting her body, causing her body to tense up. "Who are-e you?" She asks, her voice stuttering with fear. Her question is met with silence, and the next instant she's picked up bridal style, she could tell that it was a man as she felt one side of her body pressed onto their hard chest. She feels the person carefully navigate through the aftermath of the fire.After a few moments, the person stops walking,
It was a quiet day, the wind howled moving the curtains back and forth with its powerful blows, and not soon after it started raining, Jade watched from the window alcove as the first few drops of water dripped down the leaves. It had been almost eight months since she was taken away from the pack. She missed Adonis, Adryan, Violet and everyone from the pack every day. She also often finds herself thinking about the weird mate bond she has with Darius. She has heard stories of werewolves getting second-chance mates, but that was only if they get rejected by their mate or one of them dies, what was even weirder in her case was that she had a mate already and she was a werewolf mated to a vampire.Feeling her stomach growl from hunger she decides to go down to the kitchen herself. Over the past few months, Jade had built up the courage to do things on her own, at first she was sceptical to go out of her room in fear of encountering a vampire but now she finds the hallways clear whenever
A wooden chair flies across the room full force and collides with the wall causing it to break on impact. The people in the room gulped with widened eyes, as they watched their Alpha lose his cool. "What the fuck do you mean that you can't find a single trace of her? how can a person vanish into thin air" Adryan shouts as he faces the pack members of the search team. Adryan was angry and distraught as days passed by. Adryan looked like a mess with his facial hair growing, with dishevelled hair. It's been three months since his mate went missing and so far he has no clue where she is or what happened to her."Calm down Adryan, I'm sure we will definitely find her," Brian says, placing a comforting hand on top of one of Adryan's shoulders. Brian motions for the search team members to leave, so that only he, Adryan and Violet were left in the room.Adryan's shoulders sag in defeat as he takes a seat on his office chairs."You know we don't have to search for her like a bunch of idiots wh
Two weeks passed by without Jade seeing him, she ate her breakfast, lunch and dinner in her room, she didn't join him like she did the first time during the meals, she was half expecting him to drag her out of her room but none of that happened, she was surprised, to say the least.Jade had felt an inkling that he was ignoring her after their last encounter in her room.She felt like being coped up inside her room was the only thing that would protect her from whatever she would face once she was outside, but she could only sit inside these four walls for so long, doing nothing, passing her days monotonously. She felt like she would lose her mind if she sat around for even five more minutes. It also didn't help the fact that she missed Adryan and Adonis so much, she felt like she had left behind a piece of her heart with them, she even missed Violet and everyone else in the pack. Jade didn't know how long it has been since she was taken away from the pack, or if Adryan was searching fo
Meanwhile at the werewolf committee Adryan felt like he was at his wit's end. It's been four weeks since he left his pack. Four weeks since he saw his mate and son. The most he had gone without seeing them was just a few hours so at most, he was getting restless and the issue regarding the pack of rogues wasn't solved yet. They couldn't track down the exact location where they might be staying at. It seemed to them like they were in hiding since it's been a few months since the last time they struck, and it's been silent on their part ever since.Alpha Lycus Angelo of the Lupine Night Crawlers pack and Alpha Leander Moss of the Onyx Ridge pack weren't any better. During his one month away, he learned a piece of shocking news. All this time Adryan had thought he was the only Lycan, but boy was he wrong. Turns out Alpha Lycus and Alpha Leander were both pure-blooded Lycan like him, and much older than him, which means they've lived for hundreds of years but none of them looked a day ove
She moans in pain as she sits upright on the bed. It took her a few minutes to collect her bearings, at first she thought that someone had struck her hard across the back of her head with a heavy object or something which subjected her to almost seeing stars. It took her a while to recollect her memories, remembering that she was poisoned.She suspected that the water she had consumed from the bottle most probably had been poisoned. Lifting her head she stroked the part where her head hurt the most, pressing her fingers lightly onto her temple, she winces as pain immediately flares up. At this point, she couldn't even comprehend if it was physical pain or psychological pain she felt.A few minutes pass by as she sat on top of the soft mattress, as she lifted her head and took in her surrounding she couldn't tell where she was, or exactly what this place was.The room was huge, painted a royal blue in colour, and curtains and drapes covered the whole expansion of a wall, possibly to co
"Say bye, Adonis" Jade says as she holds Adonis in her arms. Who had tear streaks on his face from crying, the moment he saw Adryan getting into the car along with Brian and the few of the warriors of the pack to leave towards the Werewolf committee, he had started bawling his eyes out. Making grabby hands towards Adryan, wanting to be picked up, but when he realised that he wasn't going to be picked up, hell broke loose. "Bye" Jade's hands held Adonis' small ones in hers, waving as Adryan's car rolled away. Of course, Adryan had been hesitant to leave seeing his son's tear stained face, but he had no choice but to leave, as it was an important matter they had to discuss about. He had kissed her and Adonis on the cheek, saying his goodbye.They wouldn't be able to see him for a month or two, depending on how the werewolf committee works around the issue. Both Jade and Adryan were thankful that they had gotten time to spend with each other and Adonis before he left.She wipes away the
