Jade’s pov As the three of us headed back to the guard's house Conri filled Monica in on the information on my supposed mother. She would glance at me and shake her head. I could see her eyes judging me and it was unnerving. Having had enough I turned to her. “I don't believe that she is my blood relation and the Council is going to do a DNA test on me tomorrow,” I said sternly, causing her to make a hissing sound. “Then a vampire assigned to the council will be coming and wanting to taste your blood,” she shuddered and I furrowed my brow questionably. “A vampire is going to bite me and tell me who my parents are,” I balked in disbelief and she nodded. “Yes dear, that's what they do,” she huffed. “Don't frighten her, mother! Don't worry Jade I will be there for the entire test and the blood will be taken from your wrist,” Conri growled. Rubbing my wrists I looked at him with worry and said shakenly, “Alright.” Arriving at the small house I followed Conri inside and
Jade’s pov By the time I reached Conri's immaculate living room, my palms were sweaty and my heart was hammering in my chest while butterflies swarmed in my abdomen. Seeing my flushed face Conri brushed my cheek with his fingers while studying my eyes closely. “The brave female has retreated,” he said sullenly and I shook my head. “No she hasn't,” I declared boldly and watched him grin. “I believe that I should only place my mark on your neck crevice. If we mate now I will certainly give you my knot and since you're innocent it will be painful,” he said with a disappointed sigh. Swallowing nervously I ran my hands up his chest, around his neck, and pressed my lips against his in an attempt to convey that I wasn't as unsure as I appeared. Conri embraced me firmly and savagely attacked my mouth in a desperate hunger that I had difficulty meeting. Soon his kisses became more long and passionate. Leaning into his hands and fingers exploring my breasts I glanced down seeing
Jade’s pov After giving me a chaste kiss Conri suggested that I go shower and get ready for the council representatives while he went to question Jax. “Be kind to him I feel that Monica would appreciate that you do,” I suggested and he gave me a confused frown. Instead of asking me for the reason he nodded and told me that he would bring me back some breakfast. Thanking him I entered the side door entrance to the queen's suite thankful that Gabby had moved my entire small wardrobe to the room. After picking out some jeans and a button-up blouse I hurried to the ensuite. Showering I heard Gabby calling out for me and shouted that I would be out in a moment. Turning off the spray I quickly exited the shower in concern. “What is it?” I asked her with a towel wrapped haphazardly around my wet body. “Oh highness, please forgive me,” she sputtered while she awkwardly curtsied, making me laugh. “Stop doing that Gabby, it's fine to address me as you have and none of that
Jade’s pov Conri returned and slid his arms down my front, resting his cheek beside mine making me giggle. “Want to call your real father and invite him to stay for a while,” he asked me with his brows cocked. Side-eyeing him I asked, “Aren't you worried about him getting upset with you for marking me?” Narrowing his eyes he scrunched his mouth and said, “Hell no, your my mate regardless if it pisses him off or not, Jade. Besides, he knows who I am and was friends with my dad but I haven't spoken with him since my father's funeral.” Turning myself completely Conri kissed me and I laughed. “Did you talk with Jax at all?” Shaking his head he said,” I asked him a few questions but he didn't have any answers. My mother told me that he is her second chance mate.” Nodding I told him that I knew that and gave her my blessing causing him to eye me strangely. “You should contact my real father so I can meet him,” I mumbled. He stood and went to the telephone. Pausing with t
Jade’s pov Leaning on the couch on my left side I was wincing at the burning pain weaving itself up my right thigh. Hearing a thud I glanced at the floor to see a bloody bullet and glanced at Conri to see him pressing his removed shirt to staunch the bleeding. “If you can remove your pants, do it so I can remove the bullet,” he snarled. Shimming them off I frowned seeing that I had bled all over the nice couch. “Don't worry about it. We need to get it out of you before your body heals over it,” Conri stressed as he came before me. Helping me to lay down on my stomach Conri warned me that it was going to hurt as he kneeled beside me. “It's alright I am used to pain,” I hissed as his fingers spread open the hole and he dug his finger inside. My nerves twitched as he pried out the silver. The bullet tumbled to the wood floor to rest beside the other one. Wiping the tears from my eyes I sat up slowly and Conri hugged me tightly after moving to sit next to me “I don't wa
Conri’s pov Watching Jade faint I panicked and shouted at my mom to contact Doctor Michael as I lifted her head to rest on my lap. Her skin was pale and clammy. She was also breathing erratically causing me great worry as I brushed her hair from her face. Ares was telling me that her spleen and liver had been cut per Elina and Jade was bleeding heavily internally and would die from blood loss if the doctor didn't hurry. I howled painfully from that knowledge. “I've called the doctor. He will be here shortly. You should have told her that you loved her, son,” my mother groaned as she put her hand on my shoulder. “She is bleeding internally and I don't know how to stop it,” I stated in painful frustration. “Tell your Lycan to have her Lycan slow her heartbeat if she is able,” Jax said firmly. Shaking my head I sighed and explained that her Lycan was out cold like Jade. Feeling my heart crushing on my chest I used my free arm to wipe the moisture that fell on my cheeks fr
Jade's pov In the darkness of my mind, I focused my mind's eye on Elina walking back and forth in front of me. I was lying on the dreamscape ground and feeling out of it. “Am I dead,” I asked her. Shaking her furry head Elina grinned and told me that I had been close but someone got connected to you and is giving you their blood. Creasing my brow I asked her if it was Conri. “No silly he isn't your relative,” she snorted in laughter. “My real father is giving me his blood,” I muttered in amazement. “Yes and Conri told you that he loved you too,” she said chipperly and I grinned. “He did and I missed it,” I asked softly, feeling my heart start to race. Nodding her head, Elina told me that she had been waiting for me to wake up. Now that I have, I must open my eyes to the real world. “Okay, I will since you are advising me to,” I giggled, causing her to glare at me and shake her head again. Cracking my eyes open just a little I saw that I was on a bed in a bright
Jade's pov While pulling my fingers back I watched Conri's nose twitch and his blue eyes open and glow at me. “I must be dreaming,” he mumbled and I grinned. I shook my head and told him that he wasn't dreaming. Conri woke up completely and quickly came to my side to embrace me tightly. Wincing slightly I muttered that I was still recovering and Conri loosened his hold a little bit then buried his face in my neck crevice. “Oh Jade, I was so worried that I was going to lose you,” he said emotionally and I wrapped my arms around his upper body and said, “I will heal my king and I will marry you if the offer is still on the table. Feeling his head nodding I gasped when he nibbled on his mark causing my abdomen to flutter. Laughing lightly I groaned and Conri stopped to look at my face. “I have to be gentle with you until you are healed completely but I just want to squeeze you. I love you, Jade, and I don't care if it's too soon to tell you that. It's how I feel about
