ATLAS

I knew my senes would never fail me. Admittedly, I didn’t notice until it was almost too late. I had been…distracted. By Jade. Her scent. Her body. Heck, just the fact that she was alive and present was enough to distract me. I hadn’t heard the sound early else I would have acted faster.

And I should have noticed the way her eyes were rolled to the back of her wasn’t normal. But like I said, I was too lost in her to really pay attention to other things.

I don’t know what happened to her. Was she drugged? She was shown the signs but there was no way to be sure.

At least, I knew she was safe inside the closet. Not I just have to find the unlucky fuckers that thought they would get a free pass tonight.

I had checked the living room and other rooms in the house but there was no sign of anyone. Or even where they might have broken in through.

After surveying the kitchen, even opening the cupboards like I expect someone to hide in there. I stood straight and started walking towards th

    JADEI felt like I was in a rocket ship and I wasn’t wearing seatbelt. Or maybe a super fast car. I didn’t know how to explain it but my head felt light and like I was floating. I could hear voices around me but not what they were saying.And I’m lying on my back and the next, I feel like I’m falling from a skyscraper.I didn’t like any of this at all. Not to mention, the nausea. It was horrible. Probably the worst of everything else that was going on.I heard a thud that shook me. And my worried brain went to atlas. I didn’t know how many they were. Who even are they and what do they want? I just know I didn’t want him to get hurt.I needed to do something. I can’t stay here and let this weak feeling win. I’ve never even given up and I’m not about to start.Using every last bit of strength that I had, I tried to move my body. I needed to know if I had that ability or not. Thankfully, when I tried moving my leg, it moved. Not in the direction I wanted but it was a start.The next was

    JADEI blinked and shook my head, trying to regain my vision. But the asshole kept shaking, which with my self diagnosed concussion was’t really a good idea. I felt like throwing up instantly.Generally, the idea of throwing up always gave me goosebumps, and in a bad way. But right now, I actually hoped I would do it on his body.I didn’t know how fat gone he was in his craziness but I bet the would release me the second it got nasty.“Jade, are you okay?” I could tell from the strain in his voce that Atlas was trying to sound casual, but he was pissed off.When I opened my mouth to speak, the attacker covered it with his filthy palm, I immediately smashed my lips closed. Contact with that disgusting thing will probably give me incurable diseases.“She is kind of busy right now. Why don’t you give us a minute and I’l get just what I want from her?” He was mocking Atlas. Another really stupid decision.Even on a good day, he did’t have much patience. And being an alpha, they snap faste

    JADEI couldn’t explain what I felt when I came out of the shower and there was a shirt on the bed for me. Not just a shirt, but atlas’s shirt.I’d slipped it on and immediately got into bed.I was saying in my old room. It was exactly as I had left it the last time. Only with free linens and bedcovers. And Sarah had been the one to do that when we arrived. She gave me a knowing look. Almost like she knew I would be back.It left me wondering if I was the only one lying to myself. I couldn’t leave Atlas. Even if I run to the end of the world, I knew for sure if he wanted me back. He would find means bring me back. And here is nothing I could do about it.Right man had been like din the dungeon.“Good thinking.” Atlas had said when I told him the reason I left the man alive. He didn’t ask me about whatever they wanted form me.It was probably a dumb move but I couldn’t leave it in the house anymore so I brought the locket out of its hiding place and wore it around my neck.Atlas had st

    JADEI stared at Atlas in disbelief. This hasty be some sort of joke but he looked serious as he said it.The woman, or Arya, as he had called her, looked like she wanted to be anywhere but here. I didn’t know if that was because of me or maybe that was how she felt generally.“And why would you think that?” I blurted the words out. “I was on my way out.”Atlas gives me a look. Daring me to defy him. I didn’t know what about it spurred my confidence. Or maybe it was just my inner recklessness that never got the chance to make itself known. That must be why pop my hip out, stare him down and then scoff.“While you sort whatever this is, I’ll get my things and leave.”He was speechless and I wanted give myself a pat on the back for that. I don’t think I have ever seen him look that lost before. And to think I put that look on his face.I really was healing.I turned around on my heel, refusing to acknowledge the woman watching me. Before I’d turned though. Her expression changed from… w

    ATLASEither I’m the one losing my mind or it is the world that has finally lost it. But I felt at home in Jade’s arms.She didn’t have to do much for me to turn to putty at her feet. But my God, did she taste great and like everything I have ever dreamed of.She moaned, still pressing her body harder to mine. Call me. Greedy bastard but I still wanted more.I grabbed her ass and hoisted her up. Almost instinctively, she wrapped her legs around my waist. Her body going just low enough and gracing my arousal the right way. It had my knees buckling and for a second, I forgot why I was even carrying her in the first place.I walked us to the bed, our lips still locked tight. Teeth nibbling. Tongues intertwined in the most sinful dance that has stars dancing in my vision.She is a vision. The Vision. The only one.My mind was completely locked from any other thought when I lowered her on the bed. She looked up at me, her eyes completely trusting and it did something I couldn’t explain to

    JADE I woke up with a silly smile on my lips. There was something different about me as I looked in the mirror, I couldn’t exactly pace my finger on it but it felt great. And generally, it was an amazing thing. I took a quick shower and dressed in the first thing I laid my hands on. Good thing it looked human and I didn’t seem like I have lost my mind. Blush coated my cheeks when I went back out and saw the messy rumbled sheets. And the slight scent of sex still clung in the air. My eyes trailed to the breakfast tray I hadn’t notice when I first woke up and a smile bloomed on my face. There is this giddy feeling in my stomach. Calling it butterflies seemed like such an understatement. Whatever I had with atlas couldn’t be summed into little words like that. I cleared my throat and brushed my hair away from my face. I din’t feel hungry. The things I was feeling was enough to sustain me for the rest of the day. I opted to take even a bite of the food at leats. He went through that

    JADEAndrew’s laughter followed me as I stomped the rest of the way to the dungeon. The evil and din’t even come with me. He just wanted to rub it in my face.Asshole.I still had a smile on my face though now, I’m very conscious of how covered my neck was. I really should have paid more attention and maybe put on makeup or something to cover it up.Well, it is already too late now.It was when I got the door that I paused outside. What was I even going to tell Atlas? Why did you leave a hickey on me?I’m sure Annie has never asked that. In fact, when we were teenagers, she was always very happy to show her marl to everyone. It is not like we didn’t know they were sleeping together. But she just had to show it too much because she was an attention seeker.The thought of her made unease trail down my spine and I started thinking of what happened last night. All that I did.How does someone even know he did well? I didn’t have any experience. Heck, he was my first kiss and that only hap

    JADE“Jade.” I didn’t stop to listen to whatever he had to say.I turned around and headed back out of the door. I could hear him coming after me so I went faster. Forcing my feet to move even though every part of me felt heavy. Lifting my legs felt like I was moving a boulder. Still, I pushed myself forward.My eyes were burning but I refused to let myself cry. Not gain. Not for him. He doesn’t deserve it. He doesn’t deserve me!Someone was coming out a car when I got to the driveway. I’m not sure I told you them excuse me as I pushed them aside and got into the driver’s seat. With eyes barely on the road, I reversed out of the driveway, and headed straight of the gates.Atlas was still yelling for me, coming after me but I didn’t care. I left him in the dust and exhaust the car left behind.I only had one destination in mind. I didn’t know what I would do when I got there but that is something I will have to worry about later.

    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,
