JADE

The newest discovery I have made is you can have a honeymoon phase inside a honeymoon phase. Or maybe, it is just when you finally learn how to be happy and accept positivity in your life that everything gets better.

Whatever it may be, I’m feeling it tenfold right now. This past week. Maybe almost an entire month and there is nothing I would do to change any of it.

I have never let myself e this happy. There were not enough resources, or at least I told myself that. Whenever, which was very rare, Atlas does something nice for me. I barely even let myself revel in it for more than a few minutes. I’ll be too busy worried and thinking about how he never does that and he’ll never do it again.

Being happy is foreign to me. This stress free too. There is a new feeling I’m starting to get used to, and it is hard but I’m doing my best to not let my mind cloud it over with worries of the future. I’m leaning to just live in the present.

The present where I wake up and Antonio is here with

    JADE Ray left, after she was sure she has fully traumatised me. I spent that time reading the book on the wolf nomads while I had my breakfast. Occasionally checking my phone to see if Antonio has messaged me. I always feel a tinge of disappointment when I receive nothing. Or if I check and see that it is just a notification for something else. I didn’t hear from him until much later in the day. And even then, it was a text saying he was still really busy with the closed door meeting. He was able to send that message because of a break. I don’t know what is going on but apparently dad was gone too. And I’m guessing they are together. I hoped everything was fine as I returned to my book. Another ping from my phone makes me rush to grab it. I didn’t even pause to put a bookmark where I stopped, making me lose my page. Not that I cared, thinking it’ll be worth it if it was Antonio. I sighed in disappointment and a little annoyance when I saw it was just Jaiya asking if I wanted to com

    ATLASMy plan to get Jade has to come sooner than planned. That was the thing that kept running through my mind the linger this damned meeting took.Andrew kept shooting me worried glances. He didn’t have to say the words because I could clearly read then in his eyes. If all the other people in the room couldn’t tell. He knew me well enough to know my mind wasn’t in it. And I should be listening. Damn it.“The sixth circle have been known to do things like this.” One of our ambassadors that stayed there said.His name is Jamie, or Taylor, I’m not sure what he said because I wasn’t paying attention to anything going on. I just knew that he was giving us a lot of bad news and that was pissing me off.I didn’t want to deal with that. Not right now when I had already set my mind on doing something else.“But what exactly is their gain in this?” Andrew has been my mouthpiece throughout this ordeal, and I’m fucking grateful he is here right now. Seeing as I’m not in the right frame of mind

    JADEWhat came to my head when Jaiya said we should go out? Not much really, but it shouldn’t have been the idea of staying in. Because she did specifically said going out, so, why would I think staying in?Well, why I’m thinking about this is because the music is too loud and my head is thumping with the beat of it. Definitely not how I thought I would spend my evening. Though, I’m sure my irritability has more to do with the fact that Antonio hasn’t messaged me still. This is the longest we have gone without talking in… ever. Since before we even became official.It’s not even that he didn’t message me. I’m worried something was wrong because this isn’t like him. And that banned letter and its contents have been nagging me in the back of my head.If anything, Jaiya doesn’t look like she is any more fun than I am. She is lost in her thoughts and ha scene nursing the same drink. I got water, which I didn’t even drink.I wanted to ask her what was wrong because this is not like her. Sh

    JADEThe walk to where Jaiya was seemed to have tripled, or even quadrupled compared to when I got up to go to the bathroom.She looked up when I got to her and I instantly noticed how dilated her eyes were. And it know it is not just because of the drinks.“Oh my God, Jay? Are you okay?” I placed my hand on her shoulder, giving her a little shake because even though she was looking at me. It didn’t seem like her mind was here at all and that made me break out in a sweat, my mind running as I thought of who to call.I moved closer to her so she could lean on me, which she did. And her body was deadweight, I had to adjust my stance so we both don’t topple over. Taking a survey of the whole place. I checked all entry and exit points. The most crowded and ;essential crowded spaces.All I needed to do was get us to the door. With another glance at Jaiya, I saw that it wouldn’t be as easy as it sounded in my head. But I wasn’t just going to sit here and wait for a miracle to happen.“Can y

    JADEI woke up feeling someone’s eyes on me. Getting up with a start, a hand grabbed my shoulders, trying to pulls me back down. Or at least it seemed that way. My instincts kicked in and I started fighting whoever it was. My fist connected with their upper body and I heard a groan. And a very familiar voice curses.My eyes opened and I came face to face with Jaiya whose face was twisted in pain.“Shit. I’m so sorry Jay.” I spoke, getting up and giving her the seat. She nodded, trying to breathe through the pain.“Fuck!” She breathed out. “You’ve got a mean pinch. Remind me to never get physical with you.” Even though the situation was serious, I found myself chuckling a little and she smiled too. “Hey.”“Hi, good morning.” I greeted, taking a seat beside her and slinging an arm over her shoulder in apology. “I’m so sorry. My flight or fight instincts kicked in.”“And you’re a default fighter.” She groaned, rubbing her lower belly.“Unfortunately.” She nodded.“No problem. It was my f

    ATLASTen missed calls from my beta is what welcomes me to Palm Springs. I knew that would happen, which was why I didn’t connect my phone to the wifi on the plane. And Andrew is pissed, rightfully so.But he should undertones the only reason I didn’t tell him this is because I know he’ll try to convince me to change my mind. To leave it and let nature run it’s course. But you know what? I’m fucking tired of how the universe is running things and I’m taking matter into my own hands. Writing my fate now.I didn’t even go to the hotel I will be staying at. Or I’ve thought to get maybe an apartment, a penthouse. I’m sure Jade will want to be visiting her family even if we don’t live here anymore. They seem very close, from what I’ve seen from afar.It wasn’t hard to get the address of her father’s house. He was the king here. Gaining entrance into the property was another thing. Because we were stopped at the first gate. And the house has three leading main gates. You have to pass throug

    JADEI tried to convince myself I didn’t see anything and it was just my overactive mind breathing fake scenarios. But it felt real. It wasn’t just a dream because I know what I saw and as much as I tried to convince myself it isn’t that. The truth is glaring at me.Jaiya noticed how I was getting flighty and she kept asking if anything was wrong. Not wanting to worry her, I lied ad said it was nothing. There was no need to scare her too unless is was sure it was something serious. For all I know, it could be the paparazzi. They liked following me like endless flies. And I’m saying this with the utmost respect seeing as they were doing their jobs.It just so happens that they have the most annoying job in the world and it makes me sick.We went back to the penthouse. Deciding to walk since that was how we came. I kept looking over my shoulder had expecting to see the an following us. But it was just a busy road with everyone minding their business.I thought we would get jumped, kidna

    JADEI freeze hearing that. Jaya doesn’t look any better with her widened eyes, almost filled with horror. I tried to come to terms with it. Remembering the weird energy I felt between them. But I said I was going to mind my business so I never brought it up. Now, I don’t know if I should have or not. Because she looks like she is about to have a metal breakdown.“Once?” The question slipped out. And I wanted to smack myself in the head because why does it matter if it was once? She seems haunted by it.I was ready to apologise for stepping over the line when I saw the slight shake of her head. It was very small, I would have missed it if I wasn’t studying her so well.“Twice?” Another subtle shake of her head. I reached for the bottle of water on the coffee table table and gulped down more than half of it in one go. My stomach rumbled, not agreeing with it because it was one things happening to my body to another. “How many times? Jesus.”The way I sounded must have been funny becaus

    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,
