Awkwardness It was something everyone experienced at least once, in their lifetime, everyone present in the room currently felt the same as Jade stood before what she assumed were about fifty wolves sitting on the table, ready to have their morning breakfast. It wasn't the fact that she was joining them for breakfast at the pack house, It was the fact that there was no space left for her and Adonis to sit. When she entered everyone greeted her, acknowledging her presence, but when her eyes searched for her seat, she was met with a she-wolf already sitting in her seat. Somehow she wasn't surprised to see that it was Adeena of all people sitting in her place, which was supposed to be on the right side of Adryan, who was sitting at the head of the table. "Well this is awkward" Brian who sat to the left of Adryan, mumbled under his breath, but it was heard by everyone present in the room, even though he coughed, trying to cover it up. Violet who was sitting next to him, smacks him upsid
Darkness enveloped the daylight by the time Adryan had returned to the packhouse along with Brian, Nathan, and the warriors that accompanied them to the Eclipse pack. Arther had volunteered to stay back and guard until they came back. Jade had been waiting for hours, she would help the Omegas with pack chores, other times she would pace back and forth worrying, thinking that the rogues might have come back and attacked them.She was relieved when she saw Adryan, her eyes checking for cuts and scratches but coming up empty, the only thing that seemed out of place was his hair, which seemed to stick in all directions as if he had run his hands through them multiple times.Jade's eyes stray away from Adryan to the small group of seven people that stood in between the warriors. She felt a lump in her throat as she took in their appearance, all of them looked like they had been dragged to hell and back, with their clothes tattered in places, hanging by a loose thread in places, blood coveri
Jade carries the pile of books in her hands, as she walks towards the house from the pack library. Opening the front door, she realizes that everything was dark inside the house, her brows scrunched in confusion, she thought Adryan might have returned by now after training the new pack members, but she thought wrong as she took in her surroundings. The house was empty it seemed, as Adonis was with Violet, who was happy to entertain the toddler as Jade was busy handling things. Holding the books with one hand, while the other searches for the light switch. She turns on the living room lights, keeping the books she brought along with her on the table, she moves inside the house. She uses her werewolf senses to guide her. Just as she was about to pass the balcony, suddenly lights lit up outside the balcony door, catching her attention.Wanting to check it out, she moves towards the door, sliding it open she's awestruck and shocked by the view in front of her. The lights that had initiall
"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
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
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
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
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
