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

ATLAS“I want to tell you to calm down but I don’t want to risk my head.” Andrew said from the far side of the room.After walking around the entire place, I found myself back here again. Although it took a lot of urging from Dalton go get me to come back inside. The man looked close to having a break down and though I wouldn’t care if it was in any other situation, I couldn’t exactly say no right now. He was worried about my safety and I was outside.“Alpha, I won’t be able to focus on finding her if I’m worried about your safety.”“I can take care of myself.” I finished with a growl, seconds from throwing him away so he could get out of my sight.“He is right, man. He just wants to do his job, which is to lee you Sade.” They both teamed up against me but I did give up and came inside. And I still haven’t gotten word from either Dalton or the rest of his team. And it is almost time for me to go back to the pack and we haven’t found her.I even had that pretty boy questioned. Damien a

JADEI cold’t sleep, so I ended up calling Jaiya. She os mostly a night owl and I wasn’t surprised when she picked immediately.Ray was sleeping and even if she was wide awake, I doubt I’ll be able to talk about what is on my mind with her.“Oh, Jade, I’m so glad you’re okay.” Jaiya said the moment she picked. She did sound so relieved and the feeling of love that washed over me is one simple words couldn’t explain. “Are you okay? Do you need anything?”s“I—no.” I cleared my throat. Not even sure what I wanted to say. I knew what I wanted to ask her before I decided to call but now that I was hearing her voice. It felt kind of insignificant. And trust me, Jaiya is the last person to judge so I wasn’t eve worried about that.It just didn’t make sense to say. ‘Antonio sounded off. Do you think he hates me?’ I don’t know about you but that sounded insane to me.“Talk to me, Jade. What’s wrong?” Her voice softened to that calming timbre that always made me want to open up. It was no surpr

JADEOn my way out, I ended up in my dad’s office. Now, you’ll ask, did I go there because I had something to tell him, or was I delaying the inevitable? It was the latter. At leats, I was honest with myself about that.Last night when I spoke with Jaiya, I was fairly confident about what I wanted to do. Because it was just that, words. Now that I was seeing the brand daylight and the possibility of it being more than words being thrown in my lap. I was a nervous wreck.It was a surprise no one mentioned it at breakfast. More like, dad and Aiden didn’t. Ray made sure to grill me. If I didn’t know that girl loved me, I would have said she hated me and loved seeing my discomfort.Though, I can’t really rule that out. She likes seeing me squirm.“You look well.” Dad said as I walked into his office. I quirked a questioning brow which made him chuckle a little. “I was worried you’ll shut down after last night.”Trust this man to not give you room for a soft landing. He just goes straight

ATLASIt was us two against five men. As if weighing out our options, Damien touched my side and handed me a better knife. He lunged forward, making the offensive move. I waited till the men came to me which was something that always gave me time to map out their techniques. Within four minutes, all give men were lying all the floor. Well, four because Damien was having a good time killing one of them slowly. “Let the poor guy out of his misery. “He laughed like a deranged psycho. “He was sent to kill you and you’re begging for his mercy? Still so stupid.”I let that slide and walked away from them, going back to the car to check on Feyre. It wasn’t easy getting her to stay in the car. She rolled the window down, poking her head out.“Hey, what the hell was that? Who were those people?”I didn't have an idea either and I don't know who sent them or if they were even sent. “I don't know but it doesn't matter now. Are you okay?” She nodded. “Yeah, who's that guy? Is he a frien

ATLAS“Atlas, lets go.” Feyre touched my arm lightly. I collected the bag from her. “Thank you. For your help. I'll never forget it.”I grabbed Feyre's hand and walked out of the room. Thankfully, there was no one outside and we tried not to make it look obvious that we were running away. “Keep your head down and just walk fast.”The car wasn't a far distance from the house. “What do you think is going on?” If I said I had any idea, it would be a lie. “I don't know.” I turned the engine. “But first we need to get out of here.” As soon as we're gone, then we can think of what the girl said. “Who’s Anika?” I asked Feyre. I thought she didn't hear me so I didn't repeat myself. When she blinked, I was very sure that she had heard me but refused to answer. So I let it go. Hopefully, by the time we get home, Jade will be awake and I'd be able to ask her what the hell is going on because I didn't understand why the young girl would be telling me that her mother was alive when all

ATLASThe girl looked at me like she didn't just scare the life out of me. I put the knife back in its sheath and looked around to make sure that no one was behind her and using her as bait. I heard Feyre's voice behind me. “Who is it?”I raised a hand to silence her, not talking my eyes off the girl. “Who are you and what do you want?” She didn't say anything and stared at me with a blank face. Letting my guard down, I opened the door a little more to let Feyre see who it was. She looked into the room and made contact with Feyre. Without answering me, she pushed into the room and I just watched her and then closed the door behind me. “What do you want?” I repeated. “You need to get out of here.” Her voice was quiet but we heard her. Feyre and I made eye contact, both sharing confusing looks. “What are you talking about? And who are you? You haven't answered my question.”My eyes swiftly moved to the door to see if I should be expecting any more surprises but it was clear.

JADEI wàs hungry but then again, I couldn't exactly be bothered to eat anything. I was in pain, excruciating pain that I couldn't even get any sleep last night. The nurse had come in to give me something for the pain but it was like this baby wanted me to be in pain. Eventually, the pain went away and I just sat up on the bed, thinking about what the hell was going on. It felt like I passed out and all of a sudden, Atlas was in love with me, I couldn't find Annie hanging around him like a monkey from a banana tree and I was pregnant. Heavily pregnant and in pain. I needed answers and I needed them fast. I'd been asking for Andrew all day but I couldn't find him anywhere and then speaking of Atlas who could tell me where he was, I also couldn't find him. What was I expecting? That man that hated me with passion, how would he come in to check on me? I'm sure that he wouldn't care if I died. I was alone in this hospital room, with no clue what was going on. The door to my room

ATLASI was staring out of the window with an unclear mind and a raging headache. I'd thought about so much that I was tired of even thinking. This whole situation was getting to me and the fact Jade didn't even remember what happened in the last few months was killing me. What the hell happened?I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see Zade behind me. “You look like you're a thousand miles away.” He brought me a glass of something and as I lifted it to my lips, I scrunched up my nose and pulled the glass away from me. “What the hell is that?”He had a smirk on his face.“Something that will wake you up and calm you down. You look like you haven't gotten any sleep in a while. You need to take it easy.”That was easy for him to say. It wasn't his wife and child who were at risk here. I felt like if I took a break, then it meant that I wasn't serious. Looking at the glass one more time and deciding that I could kill Zade if anything happened to me, I threw my head back and

JADEI knew I wasn’t alone in the room even before I fully woke up. So, when I open day eyes, I wasn’t surprised to find Atlas sitting on a chair beside the bed. My mood immediately plummeted.I really didn’t need him and his fairness right now. We both know he would much rather be with Annie than here. Why was he even here and how long has he been waiting? I’m sure he has work to do and watching me sleeps’t one of then.No, Jade. He is not your business anymore. He is having a child with the woman he loves and cheated on you with. This is the last time you’ll worry yourself with his affairs.I nodded to myself, agreeing with the voice in my head.“Jade.” He breathed my name out. He has never spoken to me like that, I couldn’t deny the butterflies that swarmed my stomach at hearing that. But I could pretend him speaking didn’t have any effect on me which is what I did.“Can you please leave?” I said, making sure my voice came out cold.I tried to sit up and a stiffness in my back remi

ATLASThis couldn’t be real. It couldn’t fucking be happening.I could feel my blood roaring in my ears, my body was shaking but then it all felt like it wasn’t even real. Like I was just imagining this and I really hoped this was a fucking nightmare.“Alpha,” I heard a hesitant voice. It pulled me from my train of thoughts and everything started becoming more real now.I didn’t know my mind had blanked out until she spoke and I was pulled out of my trace. I could hear the voices and all the commotions going on around me.The doctor was still standing above Jade. I didn’t know when my body had moved earlier when she was falling. But my body moved before my mind could register all that was happening.“Do you mind stepping out please, alpha?” The doctor spoke. When I gave her a look, she stepped back and cleared her throat. “You can stay if you want too.”She stepped back and then they started doing more tests.“You still can’t do the surgery now.” The healer spoke, looking to me to sup

JADEMy head was heavy when I first woke up. I looked around the place confused, wondering how I ended up here. The last thing I remembered was going to my grandma’s room and checking on her. Then…Oh no.The conversation played out in my head again.Atlas’s cool voice and Annie’s ecstatic own.“Look at that. Our baby.” She had said, her voice choking with tears. “He’ll be the most handsome baby with his father’s eyes.”“Well, we can’t tell the gender this early.” Another voice had said, it was a female, she sounded kind of familiar.One of the actors. I told myself. I couldn’t bring myself to move because the entire thing felt like a fever dream and I didn’t want to believe that it was really real. But it was.“Is she okay?” Atlas sounded worried. Concerned.I could see him looking at Annie with so much care. When he only looks at me with disdain.I couldn’t hear more, I ran in the opposite direction and neared the first door I saw. I ended up in the supply closet but I could barely

ATLASAs much as I wanted to rush through the process of dressing just so I could go back to where Jade was, I forced myself to do everything right. For her sake. I would not want my lack of prepping well because I couldn’t be patient cause harm to her or the baby.A nurse was waiting for me outside after I finished and she took me to the OR where I had to wash my hands again and then wear the full coverings.There were speaking in medical terms I didn’t understand. I just stood back with my hands in Jade’s own, never leaving her side just as I had promised. The doctor was kind enough to explain what they were going to do.“It is a simple procedure, alpha. Your wife and baby will be up and going in no time.” She said with a kind smile, the sides of her eyes crinkling.I nodded, exhaling a breath through my mouth.“Ten blade.” She had moved to Jade’s abdomen and I could feel my wolf moving in my head when I saw the blade she was talking about. His mind didn’t register that this was a p
