JADE“Oh, you look so perfect.” Jaiya practically had hearts in her eyes when she was looking at me.I took in how perfect she looked too and told her just that. Then I twirled in front of the mirror, taking note of the way the day dress hugged my figure. It was a deep emerald, which brought out the cool of my eyes. Or at least, that is what both Ray and Jaiya said.It was custom made by Jaiya favourite designer. The material is sort of silky but not really silk. It just has that texture. I don’t remember what it is called but he mentioned it in his which French accent. It has a high neckline but bare sleeves, so I had to forfeit a bra. A rope was tied at the back, which holds the dress up. It flows to the ground. Not articular free but not skintight either.One of my legs is exposed with the thigh high slit. I paired the dress with hold heels and a pretty gold clutch, which had small emerald gems all around. I asked if they were real and Jaiya only laughed in her ‘you don’t want to k

JADEI didn’t realise I as bonding my foot nervously until Antonio placed a hand on my knee. He didn’t say anything but the soft stroke of his thumb over my bare skin distracted me from other thoughts. We were taking a helicopter that’ll take us to the venue which was located in the central. Kind of between the main town and where dad lives.It should be thirty minutes in all. Ad the drive was fifteen. Damien and Jaiya were already there as they had left before us. I thought we would all take a car which was’t the case. For thirty minutes we spoke and laughed and it was one of the best experiences of my life. But as the helicopter landed and we got into the back of the waiting limo, the worry that has been in my mind slowly started tricking back.Shit.i told myself to breathe in and out, doing my best to regulate my breathing. Antonio wordlessly slipped his hand into mine, intertwining our fingers. He kissed the back of my hand, which stole my breath.“You’ll be fine.” He whispered ag

ATLASAll night, I have been anticipating her arrival. It didn’t matter how hard I tried to get myself to tank of something else, I somehow went back to her. It was almost clinical how much of my attention she was getting and she wasn’t even here yet.I kept waiting waiting in the assigned room I was supposed to stay in until it was time for me to go out. There are more than twenty warriors waiting for me outside, for security reasons. Although I made sure at least half of them were guys from my pack. No matter what, I trusted them more.I was just an asset to the council. So the men could as well be protesting an artefact from the museum. They didn’t view as a person.I didn’t know how to feel about that right now. But I sure as hell won’t be that person that complains about thing after I just got everything I have ever wanted. Though to be honest, some things have changed and being the leader isn’t everything I want.It was an astounding realisation and I haven’t let myself think to

JADEHe didn’t. There is no way Atlas just said that.But eve as I tried to deny it, I couldn’t ignore the number of eyes that were watching me right now. I wish I could mind link him and tell him exactly what I’m thinking right now. Because what the hell is he thinking.Antonio is stiff beside me. Which I didn’t blame him for. We had the attention of the whole room and whoever was in charge of the lighting is rude as fuck for dimming the lights and then turning the stage lights towards our seat. This way, only Atlas and I were in the spotlight.It was a perfect depiction of it looking like we were the only ones in the room. Only, I hated it right now. I didn’t want it to be like that even a little bit.“What the fuck is he playing at?” I didn’t know who said that around our small circle. But I didn’t know the answer to that.Atlas was still watching me, with almost pleading eyes. He wanted me to go up there with him. And it made me think, what was he playing at, seriously?Annie look

JADEI heard footsteps which but I didn’t turn to see who it is. From the way the hairs on the back of my neck stood and a shiver rolled down my spine, I figured out who it was.He confirmed it by speaking.“I didn’t think you would make it.” Atlas’s voice was cool, calm. A complete contrast to the turmoil that was going through me. But it is nothing to be surprised about. We have always been this way.He does shit that makes me lose grasp of myself and reality and he just stands there looking calm as ever. Like everything is perfectly alright in his world.“Not that you invited me.” I replied, lucky that the shakiness I was feeling inside didn’t show in my voice. “If you’d spoken to me, you would have known if I was coming or not.”He breathed out and nodded slowly.“I guess, you’re right. I followed the coward’s way out, I didn’t want you to reject me directly.” He tried a small smile. “This way, it wouldn’t’t have hurt much if you didn’t show up.”“Always worried about your ego.” I

JADEAfter Atlas left me outside, breathless and on the verge of breaking down. I couldn’t go back inside. I didn’t know how I’ll be able to sit down and try to talk to people like my heart didn’t just become completely shattered.I should be happy. I wanted that divorce. He is finally caving and giving me exactly what I wanted but why wasn’t I happy? Why ddi it feel like a noose has been tied around my neck and they are pulling hard on it, stopping m from breathing air into my lungs.Shouldn’t I feel free? I’m going to be free. But I’ve ever felt more trapped and more helpless than I do right now.“Jade! Jade, here you are. I’ve been looking for you everywhere.” I quickly wiped my teaser upon hearing Jaiya’s voice. I knew my makeup was smudged, which will tell her that I have been crying but that was just the most I could do right now. “Oh my god, you’re crying. What did that asshole do?”She growled when she came close to me and saw my reddened eyes and messed up makeup. When I don’

ATLAS“Annie, no.” I used a little force to push her off me.I didn’t want to push too hard and hurt her but I definitely did not want her kissing me. Not right now.She had caught me off guard, which is the only reason why it even went ;anger that I would have wanted.Hurt was over Annie’s face but she nodded and moved back, crossing her arms over her chest.We were just talking about how everything was a success, and then she came close, I thought she was going to show me something. Or maybe, I just deluded myself into believing that. But my mind was’t fully here. I was still thinking of Jade and everything that just happened a few minutes ago.And the kiss. God, that felt like the best thing I have ever experienced in my life and there was just no way to fight it.“Sorry,” I said, brushing a hand over my face, fighting the urge to pull at my hair.This was all just too much.“I should be the one apologising.” Annie shook her head. “I shouldn’t have done that.” She said and I couldn

JADEThe driver, seeing the sate I was in just kept driving around the central. He didn’t say anything to me or ask if I want anything. He sit drove around and he couldn’t understand how grateful for the moment I was.I think we were on the road for almost am hour before it clicks din my head that I didn’t come here alone.“Oh shit.” I almost screamed when I realisation dawned on me.“Is everything okay, ma’am?” That was the first time he was speaking to me, since he said ‘okay, ma’am’ after I entered and told him to drive around.“How do we get back to Antonio ad the rest?” Asked, biting my lip and feeling a little guilty. Really hope the event isn’t over or that they maybe wanted to leave early, only for them to come and find out they didn’t have a ride back to the airport because I was selfish and didn’t stop to think about them.I started rummaging through my purse, looking for my phone. Then I recalled there was no phones at the event and we all left ours in the helicopter as th

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,
