ATLAS

Shit.

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?

  • Chasing His Rejected Luna   63: Second Bout Of Fear

    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

  • Chasing His Rejected Luna   65: Out Of My Head

    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.

    JADEI was still sarong at the screen. Having no care anymore that he could see I as reading the text. He already knew. So, what was the point of hiding or panicking any more?The only thing that was hard to do was getting myself to not to reply. That side of me that has liked him since I was a teenager said I should just reply. It wouldn’t be so bad. It is just a conversation. I wasn’t jumping into his bed and signing my life away.The logical part said that was how the signing of life started. So it was best I didn’t even say anything.With much difficulty, I dropped the phone and tried to focus on the movie we were watching again.Jaiya got up not long after and headed to the door. I heard the elevator ding just as she got up and she quickened her steps.I stared dow at the clothes I was wearing. I hadn’t even put on a bra since we were alone.“Hope you don’t mind. I invited guests.” Jaime’s voice came form the entrance as she walked back in. With two familiar faces trailing behind

    ATLASI came to a sudden stop when I stepped into the room, taking note of the other people in the room. My blood boiled the moment I saw Jade sitting with that fucking Damien. He smirked at me as my eyes zeroed in on where his hand was holding Jade’s and stroking.I almost pulled it from his socket. Before I could act on my violent thoughts, she got up, looking confused as hell.“Atlas, what are you doing here?” Worry creased her forehead as she took another step forward.I had asked the doctor to reduce the dosage, just enough for me to not kill myself on the road here since I chose to drive myself. Before you think I’m crazy, I have a plan.“I needed to see you.” I spoke, not caring that I sounded pathetic as hell with that damned Damien standing there.The last person I gave a shit about was him. I’ll do so much more if it meant she’ll come with me. Not that I pan on taking no for an answer, she will come with me.“But you’re not fine.” She sounded frustrated as she looked me over

    JADEI NEED YOU. I need you.Those three words made my brain shut down and something crazy told me to jump into Atlas’s arms and just give him everything he wants. Even if it’ll bleed me dry.There was just something about the way he looked when he spoke those words that pushed all my ‘I’m really dumb’ buttons. He looked sincere. The most sincere I’ve ever seen him.He wasn’t much of an actor. Which was what made me think was the reason he couldn’t easily see past Annie and when she was lying through her teeth. He was always true to himself and straight forward. It was harder him to think people he trusted would lie to him or try and manipulative him by lying.And right now, he was stripped bare in front of me. The most vulnerable he has ever been with me. And common says I shouldn’t feel flattered. I should send him on his way and spend the rest of the day with the people I was with.But he touched my arm and it was game over.I was the one who stood on my tippy toes. I was the one w

    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. His mind didn’t register that this was a p

    ATLASThe reality that the baby was coming made by kind go blank for more than five minutes. It probably wasn’t up to that but it felt like my world had stopped so everything seemed longer than it is in reality. I was excited. Deep down below the worry and fear and everything in between. I couldn’t wait to meet my son. The baby that was half of me and half of Jade. But I wasn’t happy too. Because she wasn’t in the right state of mind right now. And I don’t know how she’ll be when she wakes up. She would be ecstatic. I knew she wanted to experience every part of this. But I guess you plan and then life happens. “We’ll have to get her to the hospital soon. So she isn’t under for too long. It might be bad for the baby and her.” Feyre stood close to me as she explained. Her voice was soft and eyes filled with worry. She hasn’t known Jade for a long time but she as already really protective of her.“Okay.” I swallowed as I said the words. Then gave Jade’s hand a little squeeze. Before
