ATLAS

I don’t know what reaction I expected from Jade, but it definitely wasn’t much. Did I hope for it to be much? Yes. Though, I was honest with myself enough to know there was a high chance it wouldn’t be that way.

Still, I was very disappointed when she didn’t say anything. She just swallowed, looked down, refusing to meet my eyes and asked where her room was. Claiming she was tired from the flight and needed to lie down.

I tried to not show how she gutted my heart. So, I forced a smile and told her to come along.

Although, Ray had given me a look. It wasn’t much of a compliment but it didn’t hold as much contempt as her other looks usually did.

“Your clothes are here.” I informed her after taking them to the luna’s room.

Jade isn’t staying anywhere but there. Where is rightfully hers. Jade thanked me, still making sure to look at anything else but me. And after standing awkwardly for a few seconds, I turned and left. I was supposed to meet with Andrew anyway.

I headed down to the

    JADERay jumped on the bed the moment Atlas walks out of the room, she exiled a heavy breath and smiled up at me.“This bed feels like heaven.” I hummed in response, looking around the room. It was much bigger than the one in the pack house. And seeing as it was on the highest Lebel of the house. I’m guessing it is the luna’s room. I didn’t read too much into what that meant. Or I didn’t want to but I couldn’t help myself.Atlas was obviously sending a message. With the wedding portraits and now this. There was a part of me, the same one that contributed to the burning in my chest most of the time when I remember Annie and her presence in his life. She wanted to ask if Annie was okay with him hanging that picture in the house she probably lived in. I have to keep reminding myself to keep my mouth shut because that was not needed right now.“I’m taking a shower.” I told Ray, who was happily scrolling on her [hone. She nodded without even glancing at me.I was feeling too hot and the cl

    ATLASI cursed myself for not figuring out what Ford was up to the moment we left. But I was distracted. Bt the thoughts of having Jade, I never thought it would be anything. And now this little issues he was bringing up, we could handle.There was already tension between the sixth circle and the council. Maybe it is time we finally end the relationship we had with them. They never respected the terms of the treaties that were put in place.It is why the next day, as early as four in the morning, I started getting ready to head to the impromptu meeting they had called. Andrew said they didn’t specify what they wanted to talk about, but it wasn’t hard to guess. Among the three topics at hand. It had to be one of them, or two, or it could even be all.I haven’t seen Jade since when we arrived and I took her to her room. And I did everything I could to not head there instead being focused on the things I should be worried about. It as too early for her to be awake but I still took the ch

    JADEI woke up in the early hours of the morning. I didn’t know what woke e up but as soon as my eyes opened, I couldn’t bring myself to go back to sleep.I turned and saw Ray sleeping with her phone clapped tightly in her fist. She met have fallen asleep while on it. I recalled the last time she was watching some videos, seemingly ore relaxed than I have seen her in a while. I chuckled to myself.Myst have something to do with the extremely soft bed.She did mention how much she loved it.I laid on my back, staring at the ceiling while my hand caressed my bump. As expected, my mind drifted off to Atlas. I heard when he came back, and his room must be on this floor. He stopped by the door, like he was considering knocking and coming in. But then I heard him walk away.I was a little disappointed though I couldn’t tell the reason for the life of me. I wondered if he was in bed. What he was thinking about. Will he think of me? Does he think of me?I tried to shut the thoughts off when i

    ATLASLoud incessant banging is what woke me up. At first, I was lost, still not used to being back home. And then I felt a warm body next to me. Not just a random body, but Jade. And I was sure this was a dream. So, like every sensible person in the world’s. Finding themself living on elf their best fantasies, I closed my eyes and hugged her tighter, not wanting the moment to end just yet. If it is a dream, you can be damn sure I wound’t want to wake up.But… her body felt too real. And so does my hard on. And the fucking knocking. I opened my eyed again and looked down at her sleeping form and everything made sense just then. Especially the loud banging at the door.I looked toward the window, the streaks of sunlight streaming through the lighter parts of the blinds made me groan a little under my breath.I’m so fucked. I immediately knew who was at the door. Against my very being, I pulled my body away from Jade’s, putting a pillow in my place which she immediately snuggled. Then I

    JADEMy eyes opened, my chest rising and falling with my rapid breaths. My body was on fire. I didn’t have the words to explain it but it felt like I was burning up form the inside out. But not in a bad way. Like that feeling when you’ve been out in the snow for too long, and you finally get into a hot bath. The way all your muscles unclench and you can’t help a small moan of satisfaction rising up your throat.That was how I felt. But I couldn’t deny the panic rising in my chest. The more the delicious fire ran through my mind, the centre of it all being that spot where my neck and shoulders meet. Where I knew a fresh bite mark was.Atlas still hasn’t released me. He was still, so still that I doubted he was breathing. He was either frozen in shock, or I wasn’t the only one consumed by this lethargic but also amazing feeling.I breathed in and out slowly. Feeling my senses come back with the new intake of air. The more air I inhaled into my lungs, the more my panic rose. It got so hig

    JADEMy throat bopped as I swallowed down the response I didn’t have to begin with.Atlas was still looking down at him. Nostrils flaring. Eyes wild and uninhibited. I could see very dirty thought flashing through his eyes. The rational part of my brain said I should tell him to not pay attention to me. I had no idea where the thoughts were coming from. Which was true. And if anything, this was his fault.When you marked someone. You come become. You feel what they are feeling. Your thoughts become one. And although I’m not feeling the full effects of his thoughts. I know he is the reason my sex drive has gone up a million times in the past few seconds. And with the way he was watching me right now, I was getting any better.“Jade.” He called my names but honestly, it sounded between a moan and a groan. My brain translated it in a different way and I batted my eyelashes. Then as if my body was being controlled by some crazy being inside of me, I got up, fully nude.His eyes turned smo

    ATLASI couldn’t hide how happy I was. And Andrew who was very perceptive noticed immediately I walked into his office later that day. It was evening by the time and although he was pissed at me for missing the meeting and not making an effort even after he came to look for me. He was too curious to show his anger just yet. He want to know what happened.I swear sometimes he acted like a girl with how much he gossips. Though according to him. It wasn’t gossiping. He just wanted to hear about my life and be up to date with it.“You look extremely happy and peaceful for someone who has a war casing in on them.” He didn’t give me room to speak as he immediately adds. “And, you look different.” He sniffed the air. “Smell different too.”“Don’t even go there.” I said in warning before he could speak and say something untoward. Though, he respects jade, so he wouldn’t say anything bad a bout her.“Wasn’t about to.” He stroked his cheek, still watching me with scrutiny trying to figure out w

    JADEI kept glancing at the door whoever I heard some type of movement. Hoping it would be Ray. Or some dark and hidden part of me that wanted it to be Atlas.When I did hear footsteps about two hours later, I instantly knew it was him. Must be from the way my heart skipped a beat at the sound. Or maybe something else. I’m not sure, but I was almost trembling with excitement.I managed to hold the feeling down until he walked into the room. There was something in his eyes that I couldn’t explain but they looked bright as he stared at me. And I was fully clothes, but I couldn’t help feeling naked undressed his gaze.Satisfaction surged through me when his eyes lowered to my legs. I was sure the appreciation I saw there was not just in my head. His eyes slowly traced back to my face, stopping for a moment on my belly that was hidden with the big shirt, and breasts before he finally met my eyes. His gaze had gotten hot from the last time he looked at me.He cleared his throat, ran his ha

    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.
