JADEHe didn’t have to tell me, I waited until he got dressed and then we walked out together, hand in hand. If it wasn’t for his hand in mine, gently guiding me forward, I don’t I would have been able to walk on my own.And it is not even that. The crippling anxiety at the thought of hearing something bad made me want to burst into tears. Almost like he could hear my thoughts, Atlas squeezed my hand. I looked up and saw he was looking down at me with worried eyes. It became clear then that he might not be able to hear my thoughts but he could feel every one of my emotions. And worry and fear were the most prominent.“You don’t have to do this if you don’t—““I can.” I cut him off even before he finished because I didn’t want to think of anything else. If I say no right now, I’ll never be Abel to say yes. And I owe it to my baby to do the right thing. Which is find out if there will be be any problems and if there will be a solution. “I can do it.”He nods and gives my hand another sq
ATLASRay forced me and Jade to sit down as she explained all the reasons why she should be the Godmother. The first things eh said was.“There is no other option. I’m your sister who loves you so much and can’t breathe without you.” Then she ended with. “Please let me have it.” In a sobbing voice.“I’ll think about it.” Jade had replied with, trying hard to keep a straight face.“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” She went of running and screaming at the top of her lungs. I turned to Jade when she was to or earshot and she smiled a little.“You already wanted to ask her, didn’t you?” She nodded immediately and I shook my head, trying to hide my own laughter.We stared at each other for a moment, not saying anything. Not even thinking anything. Well, I olden’t exactly say so for Jade but she didn’t look like she had much on her mind. She looked relaxed, and I could feel her calm energy through our bond. I decided there would never be a perfect time to ask her this, so I might as well d
ATLASJade was the first to look up when we entered the house. Ray was still busy scrolling through the iid she was holding. Checking baby thing I presume. It has quickly become her favourite activity to pass the time. I don’t think I have seen her drop that iPad since we found the gender of the baby out.I nodded at Jade, doing everything to hod myself back from walking over there and kissing her. She got up and my heart jumped, when she was within arm’s reach, I couldn’t hold myself anymore. I pulled her loser and crashed my lips over hers. I got lost in her taste that it took Andrew clearing his throat for me to release her. Her cheeks were heated which somehow made e proud. Knowing I could get that kind of reaction from her with just a kiss.He headed to the kitchen and we followed after him. My arm slung around Jade’s waist. I couldn’t help thinking how perfect she fit beside me. She was tailor-made for me. It is shocking to think it took me this long to realise. I was a fucking
JADEWe spent two more days in the apartment. We didn’t do much, just sat around and enjoyed each other’s company. It was like the clam before the storm. I didn’t know what the storm was. But there was this voice in the back of my head telling me the peace wasn’t going to last.We were in bed with Atlas that night when he said the four words I have been expecting since the second night here.“We need to leave.” It was said in the dark, almost like he didn’t want to say the words. Knowing saying it was pretty much ending whatever peaceful moment we are having here. The real word awaited and it wasn’t pretty pout there. Especially now that we knew there was someone that wanted to hurt out baby.“I know.” I replied, snuggling closer to him, like I wanted to enter his skin.His hand was on my hip, his fingers drawing circles mindlessly. It wasn’t much, doing this, but I always went to sleep craving his touch, he never takes it far. Only kisses me goodnight, until I’m fighting for air, the
ATLASI didn’t get a moment to savour the feeling of Jade’s fangs stinking into my skin. That moment of realisation when what she did finally registered in my brain. My body Tok note, of course. I had cum harder than I probably ever have in entire life. But my brain, it took longer to get there and by the time it did, she had already passed out and I just rushed about getting her to get back to normal. She had slipped in and out consciousness before we got to the bathroom, opening her eyes, Loki g around confused then closing them again.Her body had been hot, which gave me the idea to get into the bath. When she finally regained consciousness, I was feeling a lot better. Though, I wasn’t sure I could celebrate then.I knew she would be upset. Rightfully so. She might have done this, but I instigated it. The possibility had been in her head, I knew, since I mentioned. And even if she, on her own, wasn’t into the idea of it. Her wolf certainly was. And so, I refused to touch her in the
JADEAtlas and I had a disagreement. After Andrew had explained everything to him, he relayed it all to me while we packed. Since we were robin out of the house. I had wanted to tell dad but he said I shouldn’t.“I’m not saying he did anything or he has a hand in it,” he spoke softly. “But just to be sure of everything, I want everything to be kept between the three of us. No mater how good these electronic devices are, there is still a chance they can be hacked. Okay?”I knew he just said that to get is way and there is still a apart of him that believes dad has a hand in this, but I wasn’t going to sit and worry about that so I just nodded and zipped up the suitcase while he lifted it off the bed. When I tried to do the second one, he beat me to it. I pressed my lips into a thin line. Not really about it but I didn’t make a scene.Andrew and Ray were also all packed up and waiting for us. Her eyes widened, almost bulging out of their sockets when she saw his mark. And my cheeks heat
JADEWhen we got to to the floor where our rooms were, I didn’t hesitate when he pulled me towards his. The moment he closed the door, I wanted to speak to him about the whole kidnapping thing. Actually, apologise. He stopped me with a kiss, his tongue sweeping into mine in a hot but chaste kiss.I was a little disoriented when he moved that. I had to blink and shake my head to get my bearings back.“I have to go right now. I don’t know how long I’ll be but the house is safe and if you need anything, just call me and I’ll leave them and con e back here. Okay?” He tipped my chin up with his index finger. “You’re more important than whatever the hell is going on there.”He tried to kiss me again but I move back this time. He raised a brow as he stood straighter, looking confused.“Is everything okay?” His voice softened furthermore. I would phage thought he’d used his softest voice but he surprised me by lowering it more.“Yes. But you’re not going anywhere without me.” I said, narrowin
ATLASI’ve always found it superficial and dramatic when people confessed their love to people, especially when I see it in person. It seems like something that only seems right movies. But right now, I wasted to recite the best poem I have ever heard to Jade while I was on my knees.And the disturbing part about that train of thought was that I didn’t find it disturbing. It seemed normal. Not just normal, but like the right thing to do. The most natural thing I could think of.When she said she wanted to follow me. She looked like the most powerful woman I have ever met. She is the most powerful woman I have ever met. Everything I have ever thought I would need in a luna and what made it all better was the fact that she was having my baby. Our child, that we made.Fuck, I couldn’t wait for that kid to get here.Andrew’s eyes went from me to her and then back to me and he raised a brow, because I told him we weren’t coming with her. He’d agued saying she would want to come with but I
JADEWe set out early the next day. Thankfully, Palm Springs wasn't a very long flight. All we had to do was just set out early and we'd be there by mid day..This time around, Atlas and I were in one car while Ray and Andrew were in another car. She did want to stay with me so that she would be able to help me out but I wanted her to stay with Andrew.By the time the sun was high in the sky, we had already spent two hours on the road.“So do we know where in Palm Springs we're going?” Atlas asked.I really didn't know. But at least, I felt that we should get there first.If we figured out where we should go the first time, I'm sure we'll figure it out again.“Let’s get there first.”I didn't have to pee as much today. Maybe it's because I didn't eat so much this morning so we eventually had to stop at a restaurant along the way and get some food.Andrew and Ray entered the restaurant after us and we ordered food. I had to take my time to eat because I didn't know if Atlas would want
JADERay didn't think we should waste any more time. The earlier we went to look for answers, we could put an end to the million unanswered questions going through each of our heads.So we used the next day to get ready.Atlas had decided he was coming with me and there was nothing I could say to stop him.“Don’t you want me to come with you? Why do you keep trying to stop me?”I placed my band on his shoulder.“Don’t be ridiculous. That's not it. The reason I'm trying to stop you is because I know that you faced a lot from the elders when you left and that was because of me. It would be selfish of me to ask you to come with me again. I don't even know how long we'll be gone?”He removed my hand from his shoulder and held it.“I don't care. They'll say what they want to say but it still won't change what I want to do. You don't have to worry. You're my queen and you come first.”This man was the best to ever exist.Norman was going to be coming with us too in case anything happened o
JADEWe told Atlas about what we'd found.He listened to us as we sat and narrated everything to him.“And your grandmother never spoke about why she only gave it to her?”Ray shook her head.“No, I thought it was just because she loved her more.”That stung for a reason. Ray didn't look sad but I imagined how she must have felt at that point.“The place where trees are wet giant humans.” Atlas repeated.“It doesn't make any sense to me.” I confessed because I knew he was coming to me next.I brought out a map of the country and placed it on the table.Then I pulled out my phone and searched for all the places relating to trees.As I circled the places that popped up, it didn't make any sense.“Our family doesn't have a tie to any of these places so why would she be talking about them?”Ray came to stand beside me and she looked through each of them with me.“That’s true. It can't be any of them.”Atlas just started at the necklace.“And you're sure you heard her well. Maybe you didn'
JADEWe spent the night together and I'd never felt so happy when I woke up.Waking up in his arms made me feel like a married woman..like I actually had a husband and I wasn't just married in name.We spoke about a whole lot and I just sat there and listened to him while he told me some of the things that I forgot.When it got to the really intimate things, I couldn't believe that I did somethings.I was still asleep when he left and I felt his lips on mine and my forehead, telling me he loved me as he left.“Well, something has you in a good mood.” Ray teased.I didn't tell her what happened. I just nodded.“That’s because I am. What's for breakfast?”She brought the tray around and I stared at it for some seconds, inhaling it and picturing myself eating it. That was the only way I knew if I wanted something or not.The baby seemed to like it too.“So tell me, is it Atlas?”I didn't see any need to deny it.“Yes, it is my husband.”Saying that, knowing that he loves me feels so gidd
JADEIt felt really good to be back home. What I loved the most was my bed.Maybe also the comforting feeling of knowing that I was in my house. It's not like I didn't feel comfortable back there but the fact that it wasn't my home and the fact that there have been two attempts on my life just made me feel like I needed an out.Last night, I slept more peacefully than I have in a long time. It was either I woke up with a headache or I woke up with one pain on my body that I didn't understand.But not today.I felt very refreshed..or maybe it was because I slept till noon.Oh well, I started my day with food. As usual because that was the most important part of my day. Without food,I would be a very angry pregnant woman.Atlas came into the room later to say hi to me. Since we got back, i hadn't really seen him.“I'm so sorry I haven't come to say hi to you. The elders caught me as soon as I got back and I've been working ever since.”Did he ever get rest?“Stop work for a while or sus
ATLASNormally, we were supposed to set out very early in the morning so that we could get to the pack earlier..I hated arriving during the night.But because of Jade, we had to wait till the sun was up. I didn't want to wake her up forcefully so I waited till she was awake.It was almost noon when we finished loading everything up into the car.Zade and Feyre were outside with us.“What should I do with the prisoners?” Zade askedId even forgotten about them. Left to Zade, he would kill them both without caring.“You said you would free Kira once Jade wakes up.”He nodded.“Yes, I will. What about Sophia? What should I do? And don't even say I should set her free. That's not going to work.”Well, I didn't know what to do then.“What do you want to do?”I couldn't say anything.“Do you release her into my care then?”I didn't want to have to take her back with me. It just didn't make sense to take a prisoner from another pack back to mine.“Yes, I do. But don't kill her. Okay?”He did
ATLASJust as I'd expected, we got home late that day.The sun was almost completely down when we entered the pack. Another reason I didn't mind was because I knew that the market would have been closed already and that would mean that most people would have gone home.It would reduce my chances of being seen by anyone.Ray helped Jade go to her room because she needed to eat and rest.I had a hard time getting Andrew to wake up and he ended up falling asleep on the couch again. I didn't want to disturb him either because I knew that he had been doing so much with me gone.He had handled most of the administrative work without complaining. I knew how packed my schedule was so I knew that he had done a lot of work and gotten little to no sleep.It seemed like everyone in this house needed sleep.First though, I needed to eat something because I hadn't eaten all day.Norman entered the house and I realised that I'd completely forgotten about him.“Norman, come in and sit. I'll get a mai
ATLAS“What are you thinking about?”Andrew joined me on the balcony.“When did you get back?”“A few hours ago. I had to get some rest.”I'd forgotten that I'd sent him back to the nomads to find out about the girl.“Everything about her is pretty basic. There's nothing special..she's just a normal girl named Evelyn. She lives with her family.”“Nothing more?”He nodded.“I didn't find out who Anika was. I followed her everywhere. There was nothing suspicious. She's just a little girl.”Well, that was another option thrown down the drain.“So will you tell me what you're thinking about?”I did want to tell him but I was not in the mood to talk.“Im just wondering who on earth would want to kill Jade.”“What are you talking about?”I forgot he wasn't around when it all happened so I gave him a run down of the two attempts.“What in the world? Who do you have in mind?”Right now, I am trying to think.“I don't know. The only person coming to mind is Damien. I know he hasn't done anythi
ATLASMika was down in the cells because we didn't trust him. He hadn't exactly made any move towards harming Jade hut that didn't mean we should bring him into the house and give him a bed.So while he was innocent, he might as well stay where he can be monitored because he can't be trusted.Feyre was walking in front of me because I didn't know where he was being kept.She just stood there and waited for me to come.“Mika.”It was getting dark so I couldn't really see into the cell.There was movement to let us know if he was actually there.Feyre brought out a flashlight and shone it into the cell.He was lying and facing the wall. He appeared to be sleeping.She turned to the guards. “Bring him here.”“Yes, Luna.”They entered the cell and picked him up, bringing him to stand in front of us.He looked so confused.“What is going on? What have I done this time?”“You have done nothing wrong. We have a few questions to ask and we were hoping you could help.”He burst out laughing.
