JADE

I was still in shock of what Mr. Harrison said.

The conversation with him has been running through my head for hours. I couldn’t sleep last night. I kept tossing and turning and staring at the locket I had held in my fat since he gave it back to me.

He’d heaved a heavy sigh before he started speaking.

‘The blood rhinestone was created to destroy alphas. Not all alphas, but certain alphas from different packs. And his pack had been one of them. Just as it was made to be their downfall, it was also their only saving grace.

Unless you had one in your possession, you won’t be able to stop your pack being destroyed. And no matter your strength or the size of your army. A small pack could overthrow you because that is just the curse of the thing.

Each pack was assigned one gem. And if you lose it. You lose your pack.’

The one I had belonged to Mr. Harrison’s pack. His old pack, I guess. Seeing as it was with me. I would guess the pack was destroyed. He’d seemed bothered when we starte

    JADEI called myself dumb in many different ways when I saw just how dark it had gotten when I left the park. And of all, I chose today to not come out with my phone.I don’t even know what I was thinking. Or rather, wasn’t thinking. But I couldn’t order an uber and there were no signs of cabs anywhere on the street. I knew about this so why did I let myself lose track of time? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!!!To be fair, I had completely zoned out.I had no choice but to walk. It was even better than going to find a bus station because it was farther than where I was heading.My head was down and my steps were quick. I had one goal and that was getting home safely.“Ahhh,” I cursed when I felt a burn on my chest.It was sharp and extremely painful. I couldn’t keep going because of the pain so I leaned against one of the walls where I was walking. There wasn’t much light here and I wanted to keep walking forward. But my knees felt too weak and the pain was just getting worse.I unzipped my j

    ATLASMy teeth clenched when the annoying alpha from Greendale pack smirked. His bright blue eyes always unsettled me. They almost looked transparent.Damien-demon Allister was my age and equally as ambitious as me. So naturally, I hated the guy.“How is your wife, alpha? I heard she is one of the best fighters you have.”I see his beta roll his eyes, also with a sickening smile on his lips.If they knew about Jade, then they knew damn well she wasn’t living here. Taking the whole ‘keep your friends close and enemies closer’ too seriously.“She is good.” I replied in a clipped tone. “And we’re not here to talk about her. What do you want?”When he called and requested a meeting with me. I couldn’t decline. Not because of anything, but I didn’t want him to think that even for one second he made me nervous. I hadn’t expected him to say it was tonight though. Still, I couldn't say no.I didn’t need any preparation whatsoever to meet with the little shit.I hate him more than anything and

    JADE“Are you okay, miss?”That angelic voice called out again.I gave my head a little shake, trying to get to my feet. Seeing that, the man moved forward and took my hand, helping me up with a single pull.A zap of electricity shot through me when our hands touched. His eyes turned back to me and I saw confusion there. It was only present for a minute before it disappeared and he plastered a welcoming smile on his face.“Alpha,” another man came running to him, holding an iPad, I think, in his hands. “We need to get going. We’re already late.”His eyes trailed to me and they creased like he just noticed me.“And who is the pretty lady?” His voice changed, taking on a flirty tone as he eyed me up and down.I started thinking if my plain jeans and jacket looked good. I got rid of that thought with the speed of light. I had never cared what people thought of how I looked. Especially men. I wasn’t about to start now.“That’s what I’m trying to figure out too.”The man with the blue eyes

    ATLASAndrew was pissed about Jade. We didn’t find her, even after spending half of the night searching every possible place she might be.If not for him, I wouldn’t have even known where to begin. Worst thing was, she didn’t even go to work. And no one from there had communicated with her.As expected. It made him worry more. Though if I’ll have to admit. I was a bit worried too.“Just give up and call him.” Andrew groans, shooting me a dirty look.“No.” I replied, barely looking up from my phone where I was replying to emails.If there is one thing I won’t do in this world. It is calling my uncle. The bastard hated that I was alpha and although he had a pack he was leading. He wanted this one. Because he believed it should have been rightfully his as my father’s only brother.Well, I’m my father’s only son and he knows I should be the one to inherit the alpha title.As you can tell, we don’t see eye to eye.I was even surprised to find out he helped Jade. But knowing him, he only di

    ATLAS“Baby, why don’t you stay for breakfast?” Annie pouted, sitting up from the bed.The comforter falls down her body, exposing her naked breasts to my eyes. I didn’t feel anything as I kept buttoning my shirt up. I recalled she had said something and decided to reply.“I have an early meeting. I can’t.” I said, not wanting to hurt her feelings.In reality. I could move the meeting if I wished. I just didn’t feel right. And knowing if I stayed in her vicinity. She’ll easily catch on that something is wrong and she’ll want me to tell her.The only problem with that is, I don’t know what the hell is wrong.Things have been off since Jenna left and after that picture last night. I’m unnecessarily pissed at everyone and everything. And she doesn’t deserve to deal with my shitty mood.‘I would say she better get used to it. You never treated Jade any better. You won’t treat her right either.’I ignored Kian, the whiny bitch, and went on with pulling my pants over my legs.Annie had gott

    JADEDamien, the man with the gorgeous eyes, proved he was a great company last night.Though it felt a bit weird when he was flirting with me. Overall, I had a great time and by the time we decided to call it a night, it was almost two in the morning. He did take me home. After much argument.I learnt that he wasn’t easily dissuaded, especially when he put his mind to something.For some reason, I was more interested in dressing up. So I picked up my best blouse and the new pants I had got for work. I spent more time on my hair than I usually did. I tried curling it, which was a failure, so I just straightened it and went on my way.I got into work quite early, most of the floors were empty when I got there. I head straight to my office and decide to catch up on work that I might’ve missed from yesterday. There wasn’t much to do. And I knew it would take an hour or two at most.I was going through some of the notes Willow must have left when I heard a knock on the door and said perso

    JADE“W-what?” I stuttered when I was finally able to move my mouth.The tears trailed down Mr. Harrison’s face and he nodded slowly. He pulled out the handkerchief tucked into his suit coat and wiped his face with it. He paused until he got his bearing right before attempting to speak again.“I went to Atlas’s office this morning to confirm some things about you.”He explained how he had suspected it since he saw the locket. But his wolf had taken over before we could talk and after that. He didn’t feel it was the right time to bring that up. Also, he was scared to let himself hope for that.He had been looking for more than twenty years but came up empty. It had felt too good to be true when he saw me.“Though he wasn't much help, as you can see. He doesn’t like me.” He let out a mirthless chuckle. “But once I told him why I was asking. He was more keen on talking to me.”Mr. Harrison’s red rimmed eyes stared into mine and my heart tugged. Wanting to take away that pain I was seeing

    ATLASThe sound of glass breaking makes me sit up sharply. I blinked and looked around the room before my memories slowly came back. I was in the office.I’ve been stuck in one place since Harrison left. I couldn’t tell if it was from the shock of what he had said or the reality of what will soon happen.“Earth to Atlas.” Andrew picked pieces of the tumbler that must have fallen. “Where are you disappearing off to?” He questioned, standing over me and watching me with obvious confusion.“What do you want?” I asked, clearing my throat and sitting up straight.I brush my hair back and shake my head. None of it clears my thoughts though.“You forgot we had a meeting with the alpha of SideCrest pack?”“Shit.” I cursed and got to my feet. Wearing my suit jacket and nodding toward the door.I turned to find Andrew holding a hand up for me to stop.“Didn’t you say we were running late? Let’s go!”“I already called and told him to reschedule.” I glared at him.“And why would you do that? I di

    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
