JADE

I didn’t know I had anxiety of the pack members not wanting me back until I was on my way down the stairs. I had started slowing down, without realising. Ray had noticed and asked if I was okay. She thought I was in pain. I didn’t want to worry her so I braved it and forced a smile then quickened my steps. I kept going myself pep talks while were on the way.

The welcome I got was not something I ever even envisioned. It took me completely by surprise but I loved it. I appreciated it. Knowing how much the guys missed me on the training grounds meant a lot. It meant that they noticed me. They were aware of my presence and it made a change in their lives.

They were all so happy, I had to stop and chat with the a little. Even though Atlas’s gaze was burning a hole on my forehead. And it was taking everything in me not to give in and just get lost in his eyes. When I finally got away, I finally got to them. He and Ray were in deep conversation but they stoped talking when I got there.

    JADESpending time with Atlas, making plans about the baby and the pack, I wish it would never end, really. I understood what the good life was and why people never wanted it to end because I didn’t want this to end.Life has been steady since the whole thing with the council. Really, all we do is train, talk about the baby, talk about pack issues, spend some time with Ray and sometimes Andrew, or the both of them at the same time. Usually when we were going for our evening walks. Oh, how I loved those even walks. Though, to be completely honest, I loved it more ehe it was just Atlas and me.I was seeing an entirely different side of him now. He was more cautious, patient and very attentive to my needs. He sometimes even knew what I wanted before I could ask. And it has become, ‘if I want it, I get it’ kind of thing. Because he always makes sure I get whatever I want.Like last night, when we were about to sleep, I told him I was carving fruit juice. He said there should be some in th

    JADEThe island Atlas chose for us to come to is on the outskirts off Hawaii. Pretty deserted which was just perfect. But being who he easily, although I understood that we had society threats now. Atlas booked the entire island so we could be alone.There was food and everything we might need for the next ten days. And yes, he decided ton ten days although nobody was surprised.“When you said you wanted alone time, you really meant it.” I said, looking around the beautiful resort we were staying in.“We have seen enough people to last us a lifetime. I think we deserve this.” Well, I couldn’t’t exactly argue with that logic. I felt him wrap his around me, and I place my hand over his, loving the feel if him all wrapped up around me.Atlas being Atlas didn’t let the moment last. He hoisted me up in move and carried me bridal style, ignoring all my moaning and groaning for him to let me down.“I’m sure you were there when doctor said I should be moving more and exercising.” I muttered.

    JADEAtlas made a simple dinner before we went to bed, both tired and exhausted from the flight. Especially him because he has been working nonstop the few days before out trip. He positively posed out the moment his head hit the pillow while it was a bit harder for me to fall asleep. At first, I couldn’t find the perfect position. And after that, my mind was just too aware. And the thing is, I couldn’t tell you what I was thinning about. Just multiple hazy thoughts.I felt something touching me, and tried to slap it away. It felt cold and I really didn’t like that. My eyes fluttered but they didn’t fully open. I must have fallen asleep after staring at the wall for hours.Rolling on my other side, now snuggled up next to a warm body, I tried falling back asleep again, forgetting what had woken me up in the first place. I’d started drifting off, then I felt it again. Something cold, sliding up my arm.This time, I sat up with a start. I must have made some kind of noise because I felt

    ATLASThe ten days getaway was exactly what Jade and I needed. Not even to give myself credit but she was glowing more by the second day we were in the island. I had considered food and cleaning up, because I didn’t want to compromise on us being alone. So, I planned for the workers to be coming around the time we wouldn’t be at the resort. That way, there was no way for us to meet with them.Andrew thought I was crazy for booking an entire island just to get alone time with Jade. I think he is underestimating the lengths I will go to for her. I hope his is a good lesson for him though, so, he’ll never doubt what I will do for her.And watching her, wearing that sexy two piece bikini. Her bump shining in the sun as she is laid back, sun bathing. It settled in my. Mind that I would really do anything for her. Kill anyone for her. Go to war with the world first she just gives me the okay to do that.These feelings, that overwhelming need to give her whatever she wants just because see h

    JADE“You and this baby are my life. And I will lose mine before I let anything happen to the both of you.”I didn’t know what it is about Atlas wars that made me shiver in fear. And he felt that because he immediately asked what was wrong. And I want to tell him, I really do. But I don’t want to ruin the moment of peace we were having here. Leaving all our problems in the real world. Not to mention how I couldn’t even explain what was going on with me. All this dreams, they made nonsense. Or maybe I was scared they were making too much sense.I knew he wouldn’t call me crazy if I told him. He would try and understand then find a solution. The thing is, I’m the one thinking I’m crazy.“Something is on your mind.” He gently urged, not really pushing but not dropping it either. “If there is anything you don’t like, baby. Tell me and I’ll fix it. Is it the weather? I heard pregnant women feel so hot. I should have picked a cooler location, I’m sorry about that—““Atlas.” I covered his mo

    ATLASJade has been acting really weird lately. And I’m trying to be understanding, to not push her into telling me what is on her mind, but is has bee really fucking hard, knowing something is disturbing her and not being able to help. I tried to coerce her into speaking. So, she wouldn’t have to deal with the burden alone. A problem shared is a problem half shared and all that shit.She has been impossibly tight lipped. I didn’t like that. This was supposed to be an ‘US’ time before the baby gets us. Our minds weren’t supposed to distract but it seemed hers chose this as the perfect tike to make a show.I couldn’t sleep tonight. I had laid down for a while and pretended to sleep. I find myself doing that a lot in the past two days. I always wait until she falls asleep before my body will also give up on me. We spend most of the day lazying around, exploring the beach, swimming and making sweet love. And at night, we cuddle and go to bed. But it hasn’t been that way for the past few

    JADEAtlas was too perceptive and I knew he wouldn’t let it go, not when he knew something was wrong with me. I should have expected something like this sooner. Then again, he was very good at keeping his thoughts to himself. Even though he was more transparent with them now. I could feel what he was feeling through our bond. Too bad it didn’t allow you to read people’s minds. Them I would have known what he was planning.He usually feels asleep before emergencies. I was used to that. I hadn’t expected hi to stay awake. Like he knew I would wake up.What surprised me the most had to be the fact that he didn’t push for me to tell him everything. It was in alphas nature to be compelling and always want to have their way. And I know he is like that too. So, him not doing it was a big thing to me.He cuddled me, stroking my hair gently, our breathing in synch. I eve forgot about the nightmare. Tonight’s own had been particularly gruesome but I couldn’t remember the details of it. I just r

    JADESomething bitter churned in my stomach, a lump lump formed in my throat but I remained casual.“It was’t hard to guess what had happened. I got dressed and left immediately.” He let out a shaky breath. “I’d made up my mind to never see her again, but then she showed up at work and she was crying about things, and I couldn’t turn her down. So I helped her get place to stay. She promised to pay back when things went back to normal. And then we found out she was pregnant, I couldn’t turn her away.”“Were there any others? Besides her?” I didn’t way to know. I shut my eyes. The slight relief I felt at knowing she wasn’t his mistress and that they weren’t having a relationship while we were married faded with that question.You would ask why I was doing that to myself but I wouldn’t have and answer to tell you.“No.” He answered honestly. “Not after I married you. I’ve never been with anyone besides her and that too was a mistake, Jade, I promise.”I believe him. Maybe I was naive and

    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,
