JADE

I’ve only been to Antonio’s apartment once. Which was weird to think about. We’ve been dating officially for almost a moment, and the only time I came here was when we had dinner, I think it was even our first date and I drank too much so he brought me here. Not much has changed here.

Well, it was only a few weeks since I was her and he mentioned anything about a renovation. Thinking of the call I had with Ray the next morning made me smile at the memory fondly. She was here with me, much to her dismay, surprisingly. She loves Antonio but she would rather not be spending her Saturday being our third wheel.

Those were her exact words. And she refused to believe me when I told her weren’t spending all day there. I was just going to check on him and then we’ll keep him company. She gave me a look that said she didn’t believe anything I was saying. And until she brought it up, I never considered there was another reason while I told her to come with me. Even if I didn’t acknowledge it

    JADEI was confused for a moment that I couldn’t even bring myself to move. Shock rooting to the spot I was standing while my eyes remained on the place I saw the woman sneak out of.So many questions ran through my mind, why was she running? Who was she? How did she get in? What the fuck is going on? Of course, there was no one to answer all these questions for me. I shook my head, fighting every nasty thought I was having. All the crazy expansions my brain wax coming up with just didn’t seem right.Also, I had to deal with Antonio’s annoyance.Why does everything always go up in flames when Atlas decides to show his face again?I was battling with those unwanted thoughts and what to think of the whole situation with Antonio when I felt a sharp pain in my lower stomach. Instead of panicking, I forced myself to breathe in and out slowly until it subsided. I have never felt anything like ti and it scared me. When I regained my energy, I headed straight to the gate and flagged down a ca

    ATLASI’m not justifying my stalking for making me end up here. Sitting opposite Jade that is still sleeping on the bed, while physically shaking with anger and and joy and rage and relief. I had been speechless when the doctor called me. I mean, I may have gotten someone to switch her emergency contact to my phone umber but I didn’t think it would work.When I received the call that she’d been rushed to the hospital, I dropped all that I was doing, which was searching for her location so I could see what she was up to. It was like the answers I was looking for have been thrown on my lap. I hailed a cap, and screamed at him the entire ride to go faster.They didn’t tell me what was going on with her, just that I was needed in the hospital urgently.Imagine my surprise when the doctor asked why I was here instead of Antonio, her boyfriend, or her father.At first she apologised and said it was a mistake they called me because there was no way I could be her emergency contact.

    JADEThe door opened and we both turned towards the doctor that just walked in, breaking the stare off Atlas and I were having. I finally had a moment to breathe. After what he just said, not just what the said but the way he sounded. I knew it was’t just an empty threat and he would very well win if this case were to go further.I was still legally married to him. And if we do get divorced now, he will get custody. Easily, might I add. I kept this from him for months. That is a crime in this society that was buried in patriarchy. The men are always right and the offspring of an alpha, no matter the number means a lot to them. And I intentionally kept his away form him.The little I managed to get into my lungs was’t enough anymore. And I could feel my eyes stinging with tears at all the thoughts and possibilities of having my baby being taken away from me.“How are you feeling now, Jade?” The doctor tries to smile reassuringly at me. I know she would feel the tension in the room, prob

    ATLASMy mind was running. I was thinking of what to do, how to do it and what results I would get. I was leaving with Jade, that much was clear. The baby she is having is mine, and mine alone. And I am going to be there from now onwards.Maybe it would be bad to say I didn’t care about what she thinks, or what she wants right now. She has done things her way for the past few months. It is time for me to do it my way now.Andrew had been the first to reach out and tell me there were pictures of me heading into the hospital all over social media and the news. And also, from a reliable source, which he found to be the cab driver that had driven Jade to the hospital, they knew Jade was here too. And now, it was a battle of what is going on. Why are we both here and not Antonio.You have no idea how that pissed me off. the audacity they has to mention him while I was with my wife.I have been thinking about the. And not in the usual ‘I want to skin him alive and tear him limb from limb for

    ATLASI paced the room, my mind reeling with anger with each set that I was taking. Donald stood on the other Side looking like he has no idea what to do.“And have you figured out who put that hit out?” I paused and asked, running a hand through my hair in frustration.Two days ago, I wound’t have been this worried about someone trying to kill me. Now that I knew I was having a child with Jade. You cam be sure I’m going to be fucking alive to watch that child grow up. My blood won’t be raised by anyone but me.“We have tried searching, cross-checking the IP address. Reverse searching it. Everything, but nothing comes up.” He sounded as frustrated as I feel. “It is like the person sent this from heaven or some other word because it doesn’t exist anywhere.”I nodded absentmindedly, my mind still running as I thought of what to do. Which avenue to follow. The last thing I wanted was this affecting Jade in any way. Not when she is already sick and carrying a baby. She should be relaxed an

    JADE I was surprised to find Atlas gone when I woke up. He had been too cautious to go anywhere. I don’t know if he expected me to run or whatever he was thinking but I didn’t expect it. Dad was the one sitting on the chair he’d been on earlier. He smiled and got up when he noticed my eyes were open. Standing beside the bed, he takes my hands in his and gives it a reassuring squeeze. He didn’t need to say anything, he already knew everything that went out. It mad eye feel a little worried that I missed the conversation he must have had with Atlas. What did he tell him? He is’t the most calm man in the world and we would really come to it if he disrespects my dad. “Do you want any water?” I nodded because my throat parched, and that sounded really god. There was a pitcher and a paper cup beside the cup which poured and handed to me. I took it to my li[s with slightly unsteady hands. Only when I took the first sip, it felt like. Was going to throw up. But I appreciated the slight we

    JADEThe doctor brought coconut flavoured water and I gulped the entire thing in one go. She looked relived when I took it all at once.“You can just keep more of the water close to you in case you need it. And there are other flavours too.” I nodded and thanked her as she lectured the room, leaving me with Atlas once again.He hasn’t spoken a word to me since dad left the room, and we were both just lost in our thoughts. Though, he has been on his phone since he came in. And I wanted to bash the device over his head. I breathed in and forced myself to calm down. Saying he wasn’t even worth it all.I forgot I was staring at him until he looked up and our eyes met. The softened for a second before he did his emotions.“Do you need anything?” He asked after I looked away. I actually didn’t think he would speak to me so I was taken aback when he did and it took me a few seconds to think of responding. When I finally regained my composure, I shook my head and then focused on the large wind

    ATLASI signed the discharge papers a nurse brought a few minutes later the doctor left. Jade was sill not speaking to me although I didn’t fault her for that. I didn’t want to speak either because it would be so easy to say the right thing when my blood was still boiling from the realisation I had.When she tried to get up, I rushed and held her down which she didn’t look happy about . But the doctor said she needed to rest and that is what she’ll do. I don’t care if she likes it or not. There is no way we’re putting our chid in harm’s way.Fuck. There was just something entirely too pleasing about the thought of that being our child. Mine and hers. The symbol of us being together. The one way she can never get rid of me. trust me, I’ll make sure it never happens.I sent a text to Donald telling him we were ready and about to leave so he should clear the exit we were going to follow. While he did that, I went and got Jade her clothes which had been brought to the hospital by her fathe

    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
