Semua Bab The Alpha's Possession : Bab 51 - Bab 60

Alex’s pov: The way Jade stiffened in my lap for a moment, before she burst out in tears was worrying me. She appeared to be in shock – though it was understandable. “You don’t mean that, Luc. That can’t be. It has to be a mistake,” she was telling him frantically in between tears. She then shot out of my lap before I could hold her, and went to Luc, “This isn’t a good joke, Luc…” She shook him and he allowed her to do as she pleased. Her sorrow was almost suffocating me, and yet there was nothing I could do but simply be around for her – for as long as she would need me. “It’s not a joke, Jade,” he said in a hushed bleak tone of voice. “I am so sorry for your loss.” She was startled back and let his hand go as if the very small skin contact burnt her deeply. “But dad was such a strong warrior,” she objected. “How could it be? How did it happen?” “The patrollers were outnumbered, but had the attack covered efficiently for a moment. Then, one of the rogues went for Silas, and

Jade’s pov:I was at the funeral, crying as to be expected… and even though I was supposed to be at ease among the pack, with people who loved me, I wasn’t.The same unusual smell from Alex’s office caught me unaware during the funeral, and I found myself trying to find the person whose very scent I had yet to memorize… and it turned out that it came from none other than Camelia.If there was one way to describe it, I would say there was some potent jasmin in the mix, though that wasn’t all there was to it.And though I tried to be reasonable and trust Alex, the fact remained that her perfume was too much for me at the moment, and it also grated on my nerves for some reason.Don't let this witch upset you, my wolf growled in my mind. We must think about our pup.Her reminder gave me back some of my lucidity. I had been planning to pounce on her, and strangle her till she admitted what she was here for, but my wolf's input brought me back to my senses.It was audacious of her to show up

Jade’s pov:Soon enough, a couple of weeks went by since my dad’s passing, and Trevor had become my shadow. I believed that Alex, being Alex, only trusted his third-in-command to protect me. Alex’s meetings with Camelia were starting to bother me if I were to be honest. Not only was the witch an attention seeker, but also a cunning woman. She was trying desperately to get as much time with Alex as she could… and while I could understand their need to talk strategy, in an attempt to find a solution to the manipulated rogues issue, did it really have to be on a one-to-one basis? My jealousy was definitely having a field day, and I wasn’t happy about it. I had gone to the training grounds to let off some steam, too irked by the situation to do anything else, moreso because I couldn’t object to it – I didn’t have it in me to be a diplomat after all. And now that I was back to the pack house, I was just about to enter Alex’s office, when Luc caught my attention, near the door. The man w

Jade’s pov: As to be expected, Camelia objected at once, “You don’t know if you can trust your third in command or anyone really. Besides, you’re perfectly fine, aren’t you?” Alex seemed to ponder her words for a moment, but his eyes turned black at once, a sign that his wolf wanted to take over, “I will rip you to shreds, witch…” At that point, Luc didn’t hesitate to give her a powerful blow on the back of her head, thus rendering her unconscious. “We’re in this together. I will drink the milk and the olive oil, along with you,” I told Alex in a soothing tone of voice. He shook his head negatively, “No.” I didn’t know what he was objecting to exactly, but stood frozen in my spot, as I waited for his next words. “The baby will get hurt,” he said in his deep alpha voice, and his eyes, albeit still black like night, were definitely tender on me. “Give me that,” he then instructed Trevor, who handed him both the olive oil and the milk without delay. After drinking more than eno

Jade’s pov: It was happening… I truly was pregnant with Alex’s baby. I was only hit with the news, full force, as we heard the baby’s heartbeat. And as to be expected, Alex was overjoyed, whereas I had mixed feelings about this. I was young, and still craved many experiences and the freedom to make them happen… More importantly, would I be a good mother to my pup? Was I fit to raise Alex’s pup? Of course you are, my wolf chimed in at once. You’re his mate. Who else would be a better fit? I just… I tried to make sense of what I was feeling, but I couldn’t. You know, Jade. It wouldn’t hurt to trust yourself more. You are Alex’s fated Luna, and he loves you to the moon and back… so much so that he managed to fight off the effect of the potion, and was docile enough to take the milk and olive oil. “We count on your discretion, Dr Barnes,” Alex let out as words of parting. The doctor merely beamed at us, “Naturally.” With the assurance that he wound’t babble to the pack about my p
