JADE

I have nowhere today. I really couldn’t even explain how happy that made.

Trust me, the glitz and glam life may look like a dream from a different POV. But it really ins’t all that when you’re living in it.

Ray had taken it upon herself to take care of my calendar for me and send ‘thank you but I can’t come’ messages to people. I really don’t know what I would do without her even if I don’t explicitly say it to her face.

We stayed in bed and just wasted the whole day away. I wish I could say my mind as free of thoughts but it kept going back to Atlas and Damien. What was he doing here? trying to defend Atlas of all people?

I thought they hated each other. Well, I didn’t know that but the way they had covered the other day proved as much.

All these thoughts were making me feel sick.

“What are you thinking about?” Ray who was cuddled up to the demonic black cat asked me.

Both their heads were turned towards me and he looked as inquisitive as she did. I swore he could understand and

    JADEThis may not be my best elder sister moment but I was glad when Ray told me about the boy she was seeing. Because it distracted me from thoughts of my ex who isn’t really my ex and my ex friend who I thought was my friend. Not the easiest life.The most important thing I had to know was how old he was. If he had access to get her a pass, then he must be a few years older than her.He was only seventeen. Thankfully. But he was the son of one of dad’s enemies.“Well, not enemy per se but they really don’t like each other. And dad would refuse to attend an event if he heard the man was going.” She winced after saying the last word, like it hurt her just to say it out loud.I couldn’t close my mouth after hearing al of that. One part of me wanted to tease her and call her Romeo and Juliet. But something told me it wasn’t the right time. And that book ended in tragedy.“And you both have been seeing each other for how long?” I tipped my head the side, watching her as she spoke.“A few

    JADEAfter telling myself I didn’t like him for the tenth time, I got the sense to offer him a seat. Which he took.I knew my apartment was big. Big as hell, but when he sat in just one of the couches, it was like the air in the room had been sucked in. He filled up the place and the chair. Not with his body but his preface. He had a powerful aura and I had a feeling, I would have submitted to him easily if it wasn’t because of something that was drawing me back.What that is, I couldn’t tell.“How was the party last night? I couldn’t make it.” I didn’t know what he came up to but I didn’t expect that.It took me a few seconds to think of a response. He was just trying to make conversation while I sat staring at him awkwardly.“Oh, it was okay.” I replied, forcing a kind welcoming smile.He made me nervous. And it was’t exactly in a bad way so I had no idea what to do with myself.“You looked breathtaking. I couldn’t believe I missed it.” He said with a chuckle.I couldn’t tell if he

    ATLASAnnie go discharged a few hours ago and now we were at her house, getting her things so she would move into the pack house until she was fully recovered.Mum was helping her pick the rest of the stuff while I got out with the excuse of answering a work call. They just kept breaking down whenever they saw the baby’s things. I couldn’t stay there anymore. I had no idea how to comfort a crying woman. I was fucking clueless when it came to two of them.Andrew was sitting in the car, mindlessly scrolling through his phone when I went out to meet him. He drove my man here and I asked him to stay back, in case we needed an extra hand with her clothes. I know how Annie is.But to be honest, the main reason I wanted him to stay back was because I didn’t want to be alone. He knew that too so he didn’t complain.I opened the passenger door and slid in, he barely looked up from his phone to acknowledge me. We haven’t spoken since he got here because the women were there and now, I have no i

    JADERay came back after Antonio left. He sad he’ll be here by seven in time for our date. She’d run up and told me I had to look spectacular.“Why? It is just casual dinner with a friend.”I want’t even sure he was my friend but I was saying the words to convince her, as well as myself, that this is just a casual thing. No need to put too much pressure on myself and make it a big deal.But Ray had looked at me like I just said something blasphemous.“This is Antonio! The hottest and most eligible bachelor in the seven circle and out of it. He is among the top five sexiest men on earth and most sought out bachelors. There is nothing casual about it.”I placed my palms over my eras from how loud she was screaming.Ray stared at me with smooch judgment. Almost like she used to when I first moved in. But now I was sure there was no real contempt in her eyes.“I’ll pretend you didn’t say that but get here right now and let’s fix you.” I was heading to the bathroom when she said that.“Tha

    ATLAS“What the fuck is going on?” Andrew asked in surprise.My attention was on him driving and not what he was saying but it was pissing me off.“Can you go any faster?” I asked, seeing how he was acting like he had only two wheel for some shit.“I don’t want to go vert speed limit.”“Well you don’t have to go under it to fucking move!” He cursed but he accelerated just a little bit more. I still wasn’t happy but combining could only do so much when he has no intention of moving any faster.“Head to Damien’s club.” I muttered, looking out the window. We would be going on the highway soon and he has to take the turn that’ll head in that direction or we’ll be heading out completely. And I’m not sure I can wait another half hour before he gets back on the right track.Less than twenty minutes later, he was pulling up at the nondescript looking building. The petty side of me said I should call the cops and have the place raided, just to piss him off because t was a Friday. So if anythin

    JADEThe dinner with Antonio wasn’t actually bad. Once I got past my nervousness and got rid of the thoughts clouding my head. It went smoothly.We spoke about many things. Really, conversation was so easy with him and I found out, he had a dry humour like me. It was a good thing he’d booked a private room, else we would have probably been reported for being too loud.He’d actually done it to avoid anyone, mostly the paparazzi getting an unwanted picture.He wanted it to be private and he knew I would like that too. I appreciated the thought.We’d just ordered desert when I excused myself to go to the bathroom. I picked my purse, a small smile on my face.I liked that this went better than I thought it would. It ay have had something to do with Antonio saying it was’t a real date. Just us going out for dinner.Maybe we were both falling ourselves by saying it was nothing. Seeing everyone’s intentions to hook us up. I just like that he was’t letting that pressurise him.I washed my han

    JADEMy eyes fluttered open, and the first thing I noticed was, I wasn’t in my bed. And there was a soft rumble of a man’s voice.My eyebrows creased in wonder. And I started to think, maybe I was dreaming and I was dreaming of who? The room didn’t look familiar and the voice didn’t sound like Atlas. It couldn’t be right.I rolled onto my back so I was staring at the ceiling. Not sure what exactly I was finding. If the paint didn’t look familiar, then definitely the ceiling fans’t going to help.The soft titters of a bird drew my eyes to the window. It was almost the entire wall and my breath caught in my throat when I found myself looking right out at the ocean.Now I was definitely sure this was a dream. And what a beautiful dream it is. I don’t care how I ended up here, is there a way for me to stay forever? As long as I can wake up next to this view every morning.The sun shining in the sky. The beautiful sea and the sky looking like one. And the beach, the few palm trees. Everyth

    ATLASI decided to go into work after I left Damien’s club. I didn’t want to go back home knowing that Annie is there. I’m still not in the mood to talk to her.The wound is too fresh for me to look at her right now and not say something I know I’ll regret later.‘You never give Jade this benefit. And you wonder why she left you.’I didn’t have the energy, nor was I in the mood to argue with my wolf so I just ignored him. Pretending I didn’t hear what he said. Unfortunately acting like I didn’t hear him wouldn’t make the words leave my head. Because he was right and I knew he was right, but damn it. I’m fucking upset.I’m upset with Damien. I’m upset with Annie. I’m upset with Andrew, even though he didn’t fucking do anything. I’m angry at Arya, the fucking instigator. And myself, because I was stupid. Damn it, I still feel stupid.And I’m angry at Jade, especially. None of this would have happened had she just stayed and listened to me for five fucking seconds.Heck, she gave Damien

    JADE“i needed to come see him.”“Why?” He collected the baby from me “I told you that there's no need to. Why do you feel the need to come here even after I told you not to?!”“Because it's not just your victory! It's not just your life that he was after! It's mine too! And it's Ray's too! So yes, I needed to come down here to get closure.”He needed to understand that this meant something to me too, just as it did him.“Closure? Is that why you put the baby at risk? How much more closure do you need?”What on earth was he talking about?“Risk? Incase you didn't notice, I was there with him! I was at risk too! I needed him to look me in the eye and tell me why he did what he did to my family.”“Or maybe it's because you're too hung up on the past and you just can't let go. Incase you havent noticed, you're so stuck in the past and you are obsessing over it. Move on!”Well, I'm glad he finally got to say what he wanted to. Now I know how he feels about me trying to find answers. I w

    JADEI didn't think it was worth it at first. Going to see the man that had made me grow up without parents and without the concept of what a true family felt like.But after much thought, he needed to know that all his plans failed and I was going to rub it in his face..I'd gotten all three pieces of the stone together and wore it around my locket.It would hurt him so bad to see that in the end, I won.Iniko decided that that was the right moment to start crying and everytime I dropped him back in his cot, he cried even louder.“Young man, what is it that you want? You've been fed and burped and I just changed your diaper so there's no way you could have soiled it again -”I stopped and remembered what happened yesterday so I took a peak for myself. There was nothing im his diaper.“So what exactly do you want?”I wish babies could talk.I guess I didn't have any other choice than to take him with me then. Atlas would blow a fuse if he found out that I took his son to see Ford.Whe

    ATLAS“By wasting any more time, we are not doing ourselves any good! Sixth Circle pack is vacant. We have their leader in our custody and I've taken down every opposition in our way, do you think it would be long before we get more interests?”Sometimes, having a cabinet infuriates me so much. It was like I was speaking to brick walls. I didn't see any reason why they couldn't just agree to me taking over the Sixth Circle.It would even be better for us because it would improve our army base, it would make our pack bigger and in general, it would be a plus for us.But they weren't seeing it that way. All they were seeing was the fact that Ford had committed something against the pack and they weren't going to take it.I mean, what better way to teach him a lesson by taking over his pack?“Alpha, we're not disputing the fact that you've gone a long way-”“But you're diminishing my efforts. What's the whole point of defeating him and taking him into custody when I can't even go ahead a

    JADERay and I weren't speaking for now.How could she hide something like that from me?“Where is she?”“I have no idea. All I know is that she ran away when we were little. She knew that he would come after her and she didn't want to put you in danger. So she ran away and left your nanny to take care of you. I don't know where she is.”How could she do this?“Before I lost my memory, did I know?”“No, you never knew.”I couldn't believe this. I lost my appetite for the rest of that day and I just stayed in Iniko's room because I couldn't even speak to anyone right now.I'd spent my life thinking my mother was dead only to hear that she was alive and she ran away because of that beast.“It’s not her fault, you know. Your mother ran away to protect you and Ray didn't tell you because she wanted to keep you safe. You have to forgive her.”I didn't blame her. It wasn't her fault things turned out like this. I was just hurt that I didn't know.Later that day, I took Iniko on a walk so h

    JADEI was just realizing that this baby has Atlas's eyes and hair and everything!“This baby is rigged.”He turned around in shock.“What are you talking about?”“You did something to make the baby look like you.”He laughed and shook his head.“No, I didn't. It's just a coincidence.”“Coincidence? Look at this baby and look at you. It seems like I didn't even have anything to do with his birth.”“Don’t worry, you can have the second baby.”I scoffed.“You think I'm going to let you have another chance to have photocopies? Big joke.”Iniko was so small and he seemed so fragile.Ray brought my food and she took him while I ate.“I wish my grandmother was here to see him.”She gave me a sad smile.“Me too. She would be so proud of you.I'm proud of you.”I'm so happy my sister was here with me. She was the one who had been by my side throughout and if the child had been a girl, I would have named her after Raya.“Thank you for everything you did. If not for you, I don't know how I would

    JADE“I'm going to need your blood as well. Atlas, I promise it won't hurt her. Just a little nick.”He nodded and she dragged the knife across my finger.“Place your finger over the stone and let the blood cover it entirely. Do not take your hand away from the fire.”It was a simple instruction but it seemed so intense.It was almost over. My legs were beginning to feel well and it was getting harder to quiet my screams.“What do we have here?”That voice. He was here.“What are you doing here?”All I had to do was keep my hand over the fire until the stone bled.Ray helped me stand up straight while Atlas and Andrew faced my uncle.“So this was why I came here. How did you do that? How did you call the other stones?”I eventually removed my hand from the fire since we had found them.“I always knew it was with one of you. That stupid old hag told me she couldn't find the other piece but I guess she gave it to you. “Why were all the worst things happening tonight?I was in labor and

    JADEAtlas returned later that evening.I was right with what I'd thought.“What have you been up to?”I knew he knew I'd been eating because of the smirk on his face.“You know you don't have to hide from me when you eat right?”Oh, I did.“If you see how much I eat and the way I eat, I don't think you'd want to be married to me anymore.”He burst out laughing.“What makes you think I care about the way you eat? As long as you're healthy and our baby is fine, I don't care.”“But then, what if I get fat? I'll be so big that I won't be able to eat. I don't know why I eat so much.”This was actually a worry of mine. Normally, I ate but my appetite was not this big.“Blame it on the baby. I figure when you give birth, the cravings will stop and even though you do get fat, you're still my wife. It doesn't change anything.”I was really married to the best man ever, wasn't I?“You’re the best.”“I know. Ray says that we have to get there before midnight so that she can prepare everything.

    JADEAt this point, I was realizing that the earlier we did things, the better.“I’ll arrange for the sacrifice to happen tomorrow. We need to move as fast as we can before he gets Intel that were here.”I didn't want to have to run with this big belly of mine.“What are you going to need?”“Don’t worry, I'll take care of it. Just bring the stone.”We went to bed that night because we were all completely exhausted.“Hey, are you okay?” Atlas asked when we were in bed.“Yes, I am. Why do you ask?”“You didn't cry when you found out that he killed your father. You didn't cry when you found out that she was not your grandmother. I'm worried.”Now that I think about it, it's true. But it was because I didn't feel like crying.“I don't know. Maybe my body just hasn't proceses it yet. Maybe its because I hate him so I'm not bothered that he's not my father and I never really knew my father so i can't cry for him. I've already mourned for my grandmother.”I just didn't feel the need to cry b

    JADE“Jade, step away from that.”I walked back towards them and stared at the pile.“What kind of animal would do this?”I had no idea but I think I was beginning to understand why she wanted us to find this place.This place held secrets.I went back to the wall to look at the drawings and try to understand them.I used my fingers to trace them again and this time around, I heard the voice clearer.“Look at the bigger picture.”I stepped away from the wall so I could see the entire thing. There were more drawings to the side and when I walked up, I noticed that there was a sign at the bottom of it.That sign…looked all too familiar but I couldn't just place my finger.“Ray, come see this. I've seen this before but I don't know where it's from.”She crouched beside me and stared at it for a moment.“I know it's familiar but I don't know where it's from, either.”Andrew and Atlas joined us and just within seconds, they knew.“We know.”They shared a look and it made me scared.“Jade,
