Jade
Rudina wasn't frightened but she gave Bella control. 'Jade?' I heard the confusion in her voice.'You have to shift. We need to talk,' I shifted while instructing her through mindlink. I had begun wearing my clothes when she shifted, confusion still lingering on her face. "What's the problem? Aren't we supposed to train?" She asked while wearing her clothes as well."Isabella, you won't like what I am about to tell you but it's for your good," I warned her. "There's nothing worse than knowing the man I loved as a father killed my parents," she responded carelessly. She was right. What I was about to tell her wasn't worse than that disclosure but it was equally important."I can't train you," I said. She blinked, panicked. A blend of worry lined her pretty face but she didn't speak so I went ahead to explain. "It has to be done by Aligiza and you can't fight in wolf form, which means you caIsabellaI had made up my mind to trust my mate fully even though I was disappointed that I couldn't fight in wolf form. I expected Jade to be upset with me over how I called him a liar but he turned out to be understanding. He took me to Aligiza and Damien, and without a second thought, he left. The old man and Damien related as if they had been friends for life, I felt odd accompanying them.I didn't know why we kept going deeper and deeper into the forest to places Jade has never sent me. These places had huge trees that had taken in so many years that their appearances were turning likewise to humans, with their huge roots springing on the land surface and thick branches sheltering from the rays of the sun."Isabella, how good is your emotion?" Aligiza asked me, jolting my attention to reality. I honestly didn't know how to answer the question at first because, I didn't think I had control over my emotions yet. When the traitor I called my
JadeAfter training, I went to meet the moon goddess at the cascade. As usual, she clouded her beautiful glory in a white gown like a bride. White hair, white skin, and white gown. She sat on the log with her back turned to me so I went and sat beside her."You've passed the first stage but now, you both are going to be tested together," she said after a few seconds of silence. What is coming next is bigger than what you expect." Her voice was calm but the seriousness wasn't missed.I already knew there would be an attack, especially when I wasn't trying to control the whole underworld. What is the point in that? Everyone deserves their freedom. "I am preparing quite well," I conceded but she seemed to have more to say."The old seer doesn't have much time so you can't depend on him too much." She turned sad when she said that, which made me imagine the worst but at least I had backup."And Damien?" I asked her.
JadeWe kept running towards the warriors on patrol when a mindlink came through from one of them. 'Alpha, I think there's a mage in the pack.'It was impossible. I would have known if there was a mage. Besides, Aligiza or Damien would have informed me. I saw Duke stop behind the five warriors who had encircled around someone. When I got closer, they stepped back, giving me access. A young man was sitting with his legs intertwined as if he was invoking something.He also seemed to be in a trance and hadn't noticed our presence. Duke was looking at me, waiting for my order. There seemed to be a similarity that made him look oddly familiar. I walked around to face the man sitting on the floor. He looked so much like Damien but was younger. I tried to mindlink Damien but couldn't get a connection.If I was certain, then this was Damien and something must have happened to him. Whatever he was conjuring, I couldn't tell. He was stiff, his eyes focused in
DukeThis has never happened before. Resting in the time of war? If I didn't know Jade better, I would have said as a matter of fact that he was insane, but he knew what he was doing and even though I couldn't understand him completely, I gave him my full support. I don't remember the last time we went clubbing and I doubted that I could remember how to dance.Yes, call me weird but that announcement has got me in the mood. Not only I but the pack members were walking around with smiles on their faces. This was a relaxation we never had. Even in the time of war, there could still be time for a little fun, right? I always had the gut feeling that Isabella was going to bring out another side of Jade we hadn't seen but I never thought this would be included.Knowing that Aligiza as our guest would be hungry, I went to the kitchen with Blevin to cook. Cooking was my way easiest way of relieving stress and the smell of food steals my mind from problems.
DamienI have never come across a leader like Alpha Jade. From what I heard about him before joining the moon star pack, I had convinced myself and was ready to die when he discovered my betrayal but surprisingly, he gave me a second chance. I don't know what he saw in me that made him trust me so much. Jade was an exceptional and unpredictable leader, which was why he ruled the underworld. Other Alphas could only envy him because they knew it would be useless going against him. I knew about Isabella being his mate long before the announcement but didn't want to mention anything about it.Fearing that he was going to make mistakes or become weak because of her, I was proved wrong by his rather incredulous strength. Knowing that I had lost his trust after what Prince Marcus made me do, I was once again proven wrong by the turnout of events, which encouraged me to work harder to not disappoint him. The confirmation grazed me when he told me to meet Aligiza for training.
JadeI have never felt as radiant as I felt today. Blevine came to help Bella with picking a fantastic dress and also with her make-up. Her appearance was a look or die thing. The kind that could make a eunuch or monk turn into a Cassanova but she was mine. My mate. I suggested we disguise her a little and Blevine gave her a smokey eye with a heart melter glossed lip. I knew I was going to have to fight off some admirers but that was what made it fun.Seeing Blevine dressed up, I instantly knew that Duke was also going to be in trouble but it was a fun night. A night to forget about wars and titles but just live life as if nothing else existed, as if the underworld was peaceful. Throughout the drive, I couldn't keep my eyes off my mate. She looked so delicious and I couldn't wait to return to the packhouse. Tonight, I intended to spoil her. No good girl attitude.Luckily, werewolves don't get drunk easily so I intended for her to do whatever she liked. I saw the
ISABELLAEvery day spent in the Moon Star pack came with a new discovery. It was my first time in the club but with Jade by my side, I felt completely comfortable. He was overly protective of me and even after the sudden interference of Prince Marcus, he didn't let his mood be ruined.He made me have my first taste of alcohol and my first dance as well. It was the most beautiful feeling ever. Everything was perfect until a great discomfort overwhelmed me. I began to feel heat like never before. I was sweaty all over and my juices wet my panties.I was horny and had the urge to mate with Jade instantly. When I realized he wasn't going to do it there in the club, I wanted any man to mate with me and was upset with Jade and Damien for keeping them away. The urge was so strong that I couldn't resist it.I begged Jade to take me but his response meant till we got to the packhouse but I couldn't wait. I slipped my hands into his shirt, feeling his big abs
Jade"He came with a child and she looks like Blevine."Maybe I didn't hear him right. "What did you say?""I said he-" he swallowed the last words when Duke descended the stairs. I was at a fix as to whether or not to tell Duke about it. He and his mate have been having problems with childbirth but come to terms with the fact that the moon goddess would soon smile on them, to give them their dream of having their own child. So how could a strange child look like Blevine? Only Alpha Xander would have the answer I seek."Duke, I insist you go back to rest. You shall be on patrol tonight," I said sternly but he knew me too well. He could see through me that I was trying to get him away from the matter at hand."You are not facing Alpha Xander without me. I will come and rest immediately after that and be on patrol as you require of me, Alpha." His response was a clear indication that he was obeying my command to be on patrol but he wasn't going
Jade The two hours Bella spent in that castle was the most nervous two hours of my life. So many fearful questions wove through my psyche. The silent what-ifs and whatnots. When Damien cast the spell, he seemed to be in a trance so I couldn't find out how things were going in there. Duke was just as worried as I was but tried to comfort me. I knew how much he cared for Isabella and almost died because of her so I knew that whatever he felt was genuine. My eyes were glued to my wristwatch as my nervousness turned to despair with every minute that passed without her showing up. I wanted so much to speak with Damien but startling him was tantamount to breaking the spell bond between him and Bella so I kept my eyes fixed on the entrance. Suddenly, he breathed deeply and I knew the link was broken. The two hours were up but Isabella hadn't returned. Has anything happened to her? My attempt to mindlink didn't connect, I broke out in cold sweats, opening the d
IsabellaFinally, I was able to convince Jade to let me go but I felt a missing part of me when he left for training. I wanted to go with him but he refused. He insisted that he needed to do this alone. After he left, I looked back at the state of the pack and began giving out instructions. I didn't think they would obey me at first but they all did. The only surprise we could give Jade was to ensure that the pack was safe and clean in his absence. Duke led the team of warriors to reset the traps that had been destroyed by the psycho Prince Marcus.We changed into working gears and began working tirelessly, lifting trees, burning debris and clearing the pack. While we cleaned the packhouse and mourned Aligiza, the warriors cleaned the strong city. Pack members cleaned their houses, which made it easier. When we were done, we moved to the streets, clearing everywhere before removing fallen trees in the forest. What we couldn't remove was the dirt on the walls of the bui
JadeThe greatest opportunity presented itself. War was a destroyer. I thought it was going to be hard to exert my revenge but Prince Marcus made it easier on me. For as long as none of my pack members was involved, I was void of all fears. My greatest concern was that of losing any of my pack members. For every war that broke out, I worried that someone was going to lose their life.Since I was going to meet him alone, it would settle everything. He just made the biggest, craziest mistake of his life. I will train harder and face him in three days as he proposed. Aligiza's death and that of my warriors, would not be in vain. After accepting the challenge, I couldn't miss the fearful look in my mate's eyes, it made me apprehensive.She trembled when I got close to her. She almost killed Prince Marcus before. We even thought he was dead so what could make her so afraid of him? I was greatly disturbed when she said, "Jade, please don't do it. Don't fight the
Prince MarcusSacrifice was what brought me this far. I gave up my all to gain what I have. Isabella missed by a millimetre. She had no idea that I survived. I saw the horror in her eyes when she saw me today. I could guess the question she kept asking herself was how I survived.When I attacked the Supreme Alpha's pack, I was amazed that he wasn't leading the war himself but everyone he entrusted was up to the task. It was as if he was leading himself. I watched them for a while before joining and was amazed at how Damien handled the vampires. His skills had greatly improved.I looked around for Isabella, knowing she had also received a lot of training, I intended to distract the Supreme Alpha and kidnap her but it didn't work out as planned. Aside from her capabilities, he didn't allow her to join the war, which showed just how much he cared for her. For someone who opportuned on every strength he got, that was a remarkable decision.U
Isabella When Jade told me about the moon goddess, I was filled with profoundness. She was real. Cassandra told me it was just a myth but I didn't believe her. Was it that she didn't know or she was hiding something? I wish I could see the moon goddess too but it seemed she only revealed herself to Jade and most importantly, because of his position. I was glad he confided in me and shared this secret with me. Our night was ruined but it was worth it since it concerned the safety of our pack. We couldn't spend the night in the cabin as planned, and Blevine needed me to try out my dress for the coronation, I couldn't wait. When we got to the packhouse, Blevine and I made our way to her room with Tatiana. The little girl was excited to be around us. She kept jumping all around as I watched her with delight. A designer was waiting for us with sample dresses to choose from. I chose the one that caught my attention. A baby blue royal dress. After we got all t
Jade"Jade, what's wrong," Isabella's voice pulled me from my trance. The moon goddess was no longer there and I knew Isabella hadn't seen her. I didn't want to hide anything from her anymore and for the moon goddess being my guide, it was essential that she knew, but I couldn't tell her now.I kissed Isabella on the forehead. "Bella, I'm checking something around the lake. I will be right back."She gave me a suspicious glare and I knew that she didn't believe me. "Did something happen?" Her curiosity peaked, as she stared caringly at me."No, don't worry. Please stay here. I will be back before you know it," I said and pulled on my trousers. I grabbed my shirt and wore it as I strode out of the door. Before I opened the door, I turned around, my eyes meeting Isabella's flushed face. I smiled apologetically and said, "I'll make it up to you, I promise."She forced a smile that didn't reach her eyes. I knew she was disappointed but for the moon god
JadeI have a great weakness for losses. The pain penetrated so deep, I was unable to endure it, not even for a second. It was a fact. The loss of my warriors affected me so bad but the difference this time was having someone to comfort me and share in my grief. Someone who loved me as much as I loved her. It made so much difference.Her presence was enough to take away the pain I felt. If Isabella wasn't here, I would have mourned their death for weeks unending. She wasn't a weakness but a great strength. The strength to overcome every difficulty thrown at me. Having her by my side, I don't feel so excited being a supreme Alpha. I intend to wipe out the title of supremacy after her coronation.But there was something more. I don't even want to be an Alpha. One secret Isabella doesn't know is that aside from the fact that white wolves find childbearing difficult, the process weakens them. Their wolves are not meant to reproduce, which is why they are scarce. It'
'Our mate is the best,' Rudina giggled with excitement. I knew she would because she wanted to be let out even though she couldn't indulge much in physical activities. I was equally excited to have fun without having to think about wars. I was going to be coronated as the Luna of the Moonstar pack tomorrow and I didn't know how it was going to be.I've never been part of any ceremony and neither have I ever attended one. Despite everything, I know that Blevine would have my back. I walked leisurely towards the forest, hand in hand with Jade. Everyone we met on the way was excited, bowing slowly to us. Jade had allowed everyone to celebrate as they wanted. It was dependent on each and everyone to decide on what to do. You could host a mini party at home or go to the club but whatever it was, it was supposed to make one happy.This was what we chose to do. The air of freedom surrounding us as we walked around was something I had never felt before. It was wonderful and I
Jade's expression was grim when we made our way to the forecourt of the packhouse. I felt invisible by the crowd waiting in the courtyard. My little hands were quite lost inside Jade's big ones, as he held me protectively. I could feel his heart aching. The loss had embittered him. In a time like this, he exhumed a cold aura that shut me out from asking him any questions.Duke had gone to open the underground safe house, letting out the women and children. The smiles on their faces were priceless. I detangled my hands from Jades' when a little body hugged me from the back. I turned around to face her."How are you, Tatiana?" I was instantly filled with excitement at the sight of the little girl. She was radiant and bloomed with smiles."I'm fine, Auntie Isabella. Where is Papa?" She asked excitedly.I met her with the same level of excitement. "Your papa is helping to take care of some injured people," I said to her but she seemed rather placid."W
