JADE

Hearing Antonio talk about his work was like listening to a kid talk about Christmas.

I didn’t know had anything in common until then. He had a passion for fighting. I know it sounded wring, especially seeing how he was always put together. But when he explained it, I couldn’t help pausing to just watch him go.

His eyes were glowing he had a smile on his face, his passion shining through. It wasn’t like anything I have ever witnessed and it felt great to see someone who understood the art the way I did.

We’d spent more than half of the day in the gym, training and talking, he showed me some of his techniques and I did the same. We laughed, a lot. It felt like I hadn’t had good laugh in years and he was just there, making everything seem to easy.

I have to say, I admire how he functions. How he works. It is wonderful.

“What do you say, we should talk some more over dinner?” He asked when his assistant called to remind him of the meeting he had.

    JADEDonald urged and pleaded with me to wait I their VIP section. I only agreed because he was relentless and I didn’t want him to make scene. People were already looking at us in wonder as they passed. So I relented in an attempt to do whatever I was there for and get it over and done with.They brought me drinks and snacks while I waited. And Donald returned later with the receptionist.“Alicia has something to say to you, ma’am.” I have tried and failed to get him to stop calling me ‘ma’am’. It made me feel really old and weird. But he has reused to adapt.“I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding, miss. if I had know, I wouldn’t have let you stay for that long.” I shook my head and tried to offer her a kind smile.I’m sure she hated me because Donald liked fierce. And I’m sure he told her some things and she was really nice to me.“It is no problem. Thank you for your help.” I said, biting my lip to stop myself from telling Donald he still hasn’t gotten me the information I wanted.

    JADEI was shaking with rage after my conversation with Damien. I couldn’t believe Atlas.I mean, I understood him being an asshole all those years we together. I never thought of him as a good person and I didn’t expect him to do anything good. But burning down Damien’s club? That was too much. Even for him.I had to leave the hotel and Damien because I was running late for my date with Antonio. But I promised to text him when I was free, so I gave him my contact. And then he asked if we could meet the next day which I agreed to because he was leaving soon.The main reason I said yes quickly was because I was feeing guilty for his hate. Atlas only did because he thought something wad going on between us.What the fuck is wrong with him?A frustrated growl comes up my throat, siping from my throat.He has totally ruined my moof for he night. Because instead of looking furred to my date and being about that, I’m here pissed off at him and thinking of all the things I wanted to say to h

    ATLASAndrew and I decided the best way to use the element of surprise on Damien is making him think we weren’t plotting behind his back. So today, I called the airport and told them I was travelling. I needed the jet ready.“Won’t be better it you go alone?” Andrew asked for the fish time since I told him was I was planning.He thought it would be best if I go alone. But I know how Damien thinks and he knows me too. If I’m not around and Andrew, it is basically the same thing. Because he does a lot of things for the pack and only needs final approval from me.Damien wouldn’t fall for that. In fact, he would be on the next plane out if he saw me there. The both of us, though? Even if he doesn’t fully believe us, his guard will be down enough for me to do what I wanted.“No, we need to go together.” I said with a tone of finality.He shrugged and started walking to the door. I was supposed to pack but I have been ignoring the task. Jade usually did all of these and to be honest, I have

    JADETalking with Antonio has always been nice, but now that we actually had something in common, something we were both passionate about. It was like talking to mirror of myself. It helped that or ideas were very similar so we just kept adding on what we were saying.And laughing. I haven’t laughed this well in so long.“But it would be great if we offered admissions to people of lower rankings.” He mentioned when we were talking about the students for the training school.It was initially supposed to be for alphas in training. But alphas alone didn’t make a ack. We have warriors, betas. Gammas and deltas. And no matter how much they are overlooked, omegas do a great deal too.They do most of the housework. And I think it would be great if they are able to defend themselves instead of just being dependent on warriors. Many packs have been destroyed because only warriors could defend them. And when the omegas who remain in the house are killed, it is like the foundation has been tampe

    JADEThe shock of seeing him rendered me speechless. Motionless. breathless. Everything stopped. My entire world stopped.I felt a hand on my lower back. It felt barely like the bus of a feather and I wanted to turn and be sure it was Antonio, except I couldn’t bring myself to look away from him. I didn’t know who was pinning the other with his gaze. But it wouldn’t surprise me if it was him. He always seemed to have the upper hand.“Jade,” Atlas said, this time his voice was louder and he sounded more confident.“What are you doing here?” The voice sounded like mine, but I was as surprised as the men standing there when I heard just how vinous and cold I sounded.“I-i wanted to see you.”I folded my arms across my chest and stared up at him. My expression was blank and that made him take a very small step back. Unless you were very close to him, you wouldn’t have noticed the small backtrack.“Why?” I wasn’t relenting.The strength in my voice and how I and hiding my true feelings was

    ATLASThe whole interaction with Jade felt like a fever dream to me. I couldn’t accept that it was real. Eve after watching her take that man’s hand and walking away with him.I have no idea what held me back from following her, taking her form him and forcing her to docile with him, but I stood there, like a fucking clown as she walks off with the an, leaving me with the damned security that looked too happy to witness what was going on.“Sir, please. We don’t want to be forced to call the police.” One of the said, pointing at the door.I weighed the options in my head. They couldn’t do anything fucking thing to me if I wanted to go in there and see Jade.Except, she doesn’t want to see me. She saw me and she still left.I didn’t expect her to jump into my arms, but I expected a moment to explain what happened. In private. I wasn’t going to talk about something that affected the both of in front of an audience.“Sir.” I blinked myself away from my thoughts and nodded at the man, then

    JADE Even though I told Antonio that I was fine ad I pretended I was. I wasn’t and I wanted to be. And I think that is why it hurt so much. He didn’t say much, didn’t argue with me either. Though he could clearly see that I was out of it. “Do you want to get out of here?” He asks and I nodded, even before he was done with the question. He got up and took my hand then dragged me back to his car. We didn’t say anything to each other then. But I couldn’t deny how much I was aware of my hand in his. I saw how he kept turning back to look at me. Like he had to be sure I was still there. The valet brought the car to the front and he opened the door for me. Instead of entering I turned and wrapped my arms around him, pulling him into a unexpected hug. He was take aback because it takes him a few seconds to relax and then hug me back. “Thank you.” I whispered against his chest. Something about his erratic heartbeat felt oddly calming. You would think he ran a marathon. It was r

    JADE The doctor finished the routine tests as she had called it, to make sure I was fine. She mentioned sorting about a conduction which surprised me bemuse I know I didn’t fall and I didn’t hit my head either. But she was adamant and I easily gave in. “Your dad is here in the waiting room,” the nice doctor said, pointing over her shoulders at the door. I nodded. Even though I didn’t understand why this was such a big deal. What even is going on? She didn’t say anything that’ll give me a hint of that. And I wanted to ask, but for the life of me, I couldn’t tell what was stopping me. “We are still waiting for your test results, so we can’t administer anything to you right now.” She spoke while tapping on the keyboard in her hand. “But if you’re in any type of pain, notify the nurse immediately.” The tone of heroic made me feel a little cold. It sounded like something was wrong. Like whatever they think is wrong with me is bad. I nodded, trying to mask my worrisome thoughts with a f

    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,
