JADE

I need an escape but I didn’t know who to call.

I hadn’t thought this through. It was only after I had left the house that it clicked in my head. Atlas knew where Jaiya lived, and if he doesn’t find me in the cottage, that is the next place he is going to.

And I didn’t want to cause any more trouble for her. Because he wouldn’t be happy.

I sat for the longest time and contemplated if I should just wait for him. I had give him my word that I’ll be there when he got back. And while I hated that I had to break my word. I knew it was the best thing to do. Because if he was there, I wouldn’t be able to leave. He knows that. And I know that too.

I was in the cab with no destination in mind when my phone rang. And it seemed like the answer to all my problems.

“Dad,” I didn’t know when my voice broke.

Just knowing he was on the lie mad eye feel comfortable enough ti be vulnerable. Because I knew, if I were to fall. He would be there to catch me.

“Jade, darling, what’s wrong?” He asked, s

    JADEThe room Nara took me too had to be the size of an apartment. It was ridiculously large and so beautiful. It had white pain with blush pastel touches. A queen sized bed in the middle. A living area and a very large walk in closet.I didn’t have any clothes with me but she said it wasn’t a problem. Dad had already stocked up my closet. He had been planning on asking me to move into the house before this happened. So it was just the case of right place right time.“I hope it’s not anyone’s room, I don’t want to introduce.” Nara waved my worry away with a small laugh.“You have a room in every room that your father has ever but. He didn’t care that he might know you, he always provided with the hopes that maybe you’ll live in either one.” She motioned around. “It is why the decorations are minimal. He wants you to turn it into your space.”“I love how it is.” She nodded and smiled.She glanced at the watch and made a small sound. “I should go and prepare for lunch. Your siblings wil

    JADEI was still in shock when I saw the lone cat. And it's obvious hate towards me. A girl who I could only assume was Aidan’s twin sister ran into the room.Her blond hair was pulled into a bun and she was still in her school uniform. She also looked a lot like dad. Just a female version of him. Just with the prettiest hazel eyes I have ever seen.I smiled in a welcoming way. Trying to think of what to say. There wasn't really a guidebook to meeting your siblings for the first time. I’m kind of lost.“Let’s go.” She tugged her brother’s arm, not even sparing me a glance.Well, that was a little cold but maybe she just needs to warm up to me.“Raya, wait first—“ she glared at him and he sighed before hugging his cat closer to him and following her out of the door.Okay. She doesn’t like me. Good to know.At least he didn’t look like he wanted to get rid of me immediately.I found something in the closet to wear. There were a lot to choose from that I just had to stand for a few minut

    JADERay looked at me, confusion clear in her expression. She didn’t seem very happy that I was laughing at her failed attempt at an apology. But she seemed glad that dad didn’t call her out.“Was that okay?” He shot her a glare which she smiled at and he shook his head.“Don’t mind her. She thinks being rude is cool.”“I’m not being rude.” She argued. “You said I should let people know my true feelings and I’m doing just that.”“That was in relation to your classmates that pressure you into getting in trouble. It is not an excuse for you to be rude to your sister.” He pulled out a chair for me opposite the, sitting here, I was facing Aidan directly, with Ray beside him.“Dad, that’s mum's chair.” She eyed where I was sitting.“And mum is not here.” He didn’t miss a beat, she pursed her lips, not looking at all happy.“You never let me sit there.” She added under her breath.“Because it is not your place.”That already set the tone for the brunch and I didn’t like how I was the elepha

    ATLAS“Again,” I called out at the heavily breathing woman.She stops and glares at me, then with much effort, starts running again.I hear footsteps coming from behind and knowing it would be one of two people. Andrew or Samuel, one of our warriors and the person relieving Jade. I didn’t care to turn around and acknowledge them.I realized it was Andrew from his scent. Even before he spoke. My eyes were still strictly pinned to the woman who looked real wobbly on her feet.I was pushing her to the extreme. But she still hasn’t reached her limits. She isn’t about to break right now and that is what I’m hoping to do. To break her.“You’re trying too hard,” Andrew starts saying but I don’t turn around or even think to reply to him.He has been doing this every single day for the past two weeks. It isn’t about to change my mind and the sooner he accepts that, the better it would be for him.He may not be tired of hearing the same thing come out of his mouth everyday. But I am.“If you wa

    JADEJaiya was happy about the extra guest and she insisted we all get ready at her place.“It’ll be easier to go from there.” She pleaded with puppy dog eyes.Not that we were going to argue much to begin with.“Do you have a stack of clothes that you keep in hoped people will need it?” I asked who she excitedly brought out a clothing rack with different dresses on them.Jaiya looks at me over her shoulder and smirks. I shake my head, chucking a little bit. I should have expected it. She is crazy.“Wow, this is amazing.” Willow says, utterly in awe.We dressed up. Well, they did for the most part. I picked out a nude gown that flared from the waist down. It stops just below my thigh. I paired it with tights and boots. I have no idea what Jaiya has planned or where we are even going. So if it is appreciate for there, I don’t know. But she didn’t say anything so I guess I’m good.“Are you driving?” She has mentioned how much she hated that which is why she always uses uber.

    JADEI kept looking over my shoulder as I headed to the restroom. I’ve never been a particularly paranoid person. But I believed there was a reason I kept feeling this way. Like I was being watched. That weird sense of doom in my stomach.Something bad was about to happen. But where? To who?It was making me almost go crazy.Nothing jumped from behind me in the restroom. I kept looking over my shoulder while I relieved myself. I kept glancing all around me while I washed my hand and adjusted my barely there makeup. I only added a fresh coat of lipgloss and then walked out.The hallway was empty and I could have sworn the lights were brighter when I came out the first time.The eery silence was a contrast to the busy place I had passed when coming.The hairs on the back of my hand stand at attention. Goosebumps appearing all over my skin.I turned to my left slowly. I think I heard soothing but I couldn’t tell if it was true or just my mind playing tricks on me. There was no sign of an

    ATLASI knew I wasn’t alone even before I closed the door. One part of me thought of telling Andrew to just piss off but that would just make him become more insistent on trying to talk to me about her.And the other part of me. The one that hated showing even an ounce of weakness didn’t want to give Andrew the impression that anything bothered me. To him, it didn’t.“What do you want?” I said without looking at him as I wet headband took my seat.He came out of the connecting door between my office and one of the hallway exits. If you didn’t know it was there, you would never guess the wall was a door.“Just checking the doors to see if they are rusty or not.” He said, hesitating a bit.I shot him a glare to which he raises both his hands up in surrender.“Fine, I’m sorry for coming into your office like this, I know you’re not going to be happy about me talking to you outside.” He looked around. “And well, there are a Loy less weapons here.”I looked at the pencil case on the desk.

    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

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
