ATLAS

It felt like I was living in a dreamland. Feeling her body against mine as I woke up was the best thing in the world. I wondered how I had survived for so long without it.

I had held my breath, opened my eyes slowly, scared that if I made any sudden movements. She would disappear. But she didn’t. Even after I opened both my eyes and reached out to touch her soft skin. She stirred, but she didn’t wake up, and she did not disappear.

It was then that it hit me. This was real. This is real. She is here.

I didn’t think she would actually come. It was a last resort plan but I couldn’t handle her being away. And I was shocked when Andrew offered to help.

Getting the doctor to do what I wanted was easy. He loved Jade even though they haven’t really worked together that much. But he sees how well she relates with everyone. And the guys mostly talk about her when they are checked by him during lessons.

We said it was the only way to get her to come back to the house. And he helped us shap

    JADEIt felt weird waking up next to Atlas.What was weirder was him not jumping out of the bed like I burned him.Up until he spoke, I still thought I was dreaming. Or possibly hallucinating because he looked entirely too happy to see me there. He didn’t look at me that way. Even in my dreams.Or did the effects of his sickness and probably the drugs they gave him, made him blind and he is assuming I’m Annie?But then he would know her scent. Maybe he has amnesia.I tried to get up. In an attempt to bring an end to this while we were both civil. I didn't want to wait till he lost his cool and went back to being the usual Atlas I was used to.The man simply refused it and insisted on holding me and having a conversation. When I was still having morning breath!He doesn’t realize not everyone is blessed the way he is.When I tried to get up again. He said to stay, in that simple voice of his and I couldn't bring myself to move.I don’t think I would have left that bed, even if I was ti

    JADEAnnie stalked towards me, her face twisted in distaste and her anger.Could be the pregnancy hormones or just her usual bitchiness. Either way, I didn’t give a shit. Though seeing her intention, I cocked a brow and crossed my arms over my chest.“I see what you’re thinking of doing.” I said in an almost bored tone. “And forget that child you’re carrying, lay one finger on me and I’ll make you regret it.” She seethed, but heeded to my warning and didn’t try to come any closer.Good for her, really. Because I haven’t sparred since I left the pack and my body has a lot of pent up frustration, mostly thanks to her. That it wants to expel.“What’s going on here?”Atlas’s voice was cool as always and although I couldn’t feel the heat of his gaze anywhere near me. I knew I had already lost him with Annie being here.She ran to him like he was her knight in shining armor and threw herself on him. Holding his hand tight. Her shoulders shake and she lets out a dramatic cry.I held back the

    ATLASShit.I couldn’t take my eyes off her.Though I had intentionally frozen myself last night. I wasn’t conscious so I had no idea what Jade had been wearing when she came in. And this morning, I was stuck on her being in bed with me rather than what she was wearing.Earlier when I’d woken up, I caught sight of the glitter on her top. And though it made me curious and I wanted to peep under and see what it was. I told myself to wait until she was awake. And believe me when I say it took a lot of self control to do that.But right now I could see everything. And I meant everything. The flimsy top covered as much as it opened and the skirt wasn't any better.I’m glad I didn't know what she was wearing while I laid beside her. I wouldn’t have been able to get out of bed.I swallowed thickly. My throat bobbed as my eyes trailed over her body again. Slower this time.Fuck. She was hot. And fuck. She looked like everything I never knew I wanted.How had I missed this all these years?All

    JADEI instantly knew that something was bad when I heard that sound. But I still held back, hoping I’d made a mistake.Recalling how Atlas had looked last night was what forced me to get up.So, what if he looked fine this morning? He obviously hasn’t fully recovered.I knew how stubborn the man was. He believed himself to be above even nature. He wouldn’t stay in one place if his life depended on it.When I knocked and there was no response on the other side. I got even more scared. But still, I remained positive. The door was probably thick and he couldn’t hear me.I started thinking of how to call the doctor. I rushed into the room, forgetting to worry about him being naked.I made a startled sound when I found him convulsing on the ground.What the fuck was going on?I dropped to my knees, cradling his head in my thighs. I called his name a few times, trying to see if he would wake up but he didn’t. He barely even moved. He was turning blue again.Oh, God. No.I was scared to go

    JADEFor the next few hours. I remained in bed with Atlas, waiting for him to wake up. But he never did.He stirred a few times, which made my hope skyrocket. Only to be disappointed when his heavy breathing resumed and he went back to sleep.Sarah found my phone. She said the man from last night had dropped it when I didn’t come back. I felt horrible because I totally forgot about Damien. I needed to find a way to call him and apologize and then thank him for his help.I needed to also call Jaiya. My head was starting to hurt from all these thoughts.When I woke up from one of my multiple short naps, which was what I had been doing for the whole day. I decided to check on the device.The doctor said he should be alright now and not need me to stay glued to his side. I couldn’t bring myself to get off the bed so I just moved a bit and picked my phone up.I had about a hundred missed calls and voicemails. Most of them are from Jaiya. Who had been teasing at first but then after Damien

    JADEThe doctor arrived just as Atlas was getting out of the bathroom.He looked sinful in a plain black tee and gray sweatpants. You could already tell my eyes were pinned THERE. It didn’t help that there was a very obvious bulge.I swallowed, looking away because I felt like a pervert for staring at him like that.“I’ll give you time to eat.” Doc. Said before walking out.Atlas took a seat at round coffee in one corner of his room. Instead of eating, he just sat.“Don’t you want to eat?” I asked, seeing him make no move to start anything.“I’m waiting for you.” He said plainly.I didn’t understand what he meant and I frowned a little. I’d already served him. All he had to do was eat. What more did he need?“Won’t you eat?” He asked, cocking a brow.My mouth formed an ‘O’ and I shook my head.“That’s yours. I’ll get something after we’re done here.”Nerves wouldn’t let me eat. I don’t think I’ll be able to function properly. Not before the doctor tells us what is wrong and we find a

    ATLASThe doctor rushed into the room after Jade ran out. She left me confused and lost. Not even knowing where I was going to start from.He looked at me. Giving that judgey look old people usually gave those much younger than them. I didn’t know what to tell him. As it was, I’m as shocked and as lost as he was.Why had she run? Things seemed to be gong all right. Well, we had been kissing and I was lost in it.I’m not innocent by any means. And I have been with a few women besides Annie when we were younger. I never cheated on her. Except the Annie situation but that had been a drunken mistake that I couldn’t even remember.Then the other night when Damien sent me that picture. But we were’t exactly together then. So, did it classify as cheating?Kissing has always been a means to an end for me. I din’t like it much and I avoided it if I could. But with Jade. It felt like so much more.I’d felt her everywhere even though we were barely touching. And fuck it, I wanted more.I was slo

    JADE“He is still texting you.” Jaiya informed.I didn’t know where to go to when I left Atlas’s place. And the cab driver had looked pissed when he kept asking for my destination and I told him to keep driving around the block. I didn’t tell him that exactly.I may not have been in the right frame of mind, but I knew if I said that, he would throw me out of the car.I kept directing him to take random turns. When he realised we kept driving around the same neighbourhood. He told me to stop paying games as he stepped the a car. I didn’t get down from the car and more tears rolled down my cheeks.Something in my face or eyes might have let him realise I wasn’t faking the tears but he tried to calm me down. When I stopped the tears from falling, he asked if there was anywhere he could take me. He needed to get back to work.I had mouthed off the first thing that came to my mind. It ended up being Jaiya’s apartment. It just subconsciously came to me and I blurted it out without thinking.

    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,
