Jade looked down at the necklace that she had thought she lost, but there it was. The same crescent moon-shaped necklace with a circular pearl in the middle. The same one Adryan had gifted her. Next, she turned to open the envelope, which was a small rectangular. When she took out the note, there wasn't much, just a line. After reading it, Jade didn't know what to feel. 'I'm sorry for everything' ~DariusWhen Jade read Darius's note, she was honestly conflicted. She didn't know what she expected it to be. Maybe an explanation about why he did what he did. maybe the words he said we enough. Some thinks are left unsaid. Yet there was relief, relief that everything was over. Now she could live peacefully without the fear of any more attack on the pack and loss of life due to the war.Everyone in the pack was overjoyed to hear that the war wasn't going to happen. That they could return back to their lives after more than an year of being on the edge.———
*2 months after Jade's return*Two months passed since Jade had returned to the pack. Everyone in the pack sighed with relief upon her arrival, because for the past year, their Alpha was like a walking time bomb, and everyone including the Beta Brian was afraid that they would say something wrong and cause the Alpha to explode and go on a rampage.Jade also learnt that it was Adeena who had helped Darius with the kidnapping, and when Adryan found out, he almost killed her but elders in the pack stopped him. Instead, Adeena was thrown out of the pack. Exiled and doomed to survive with rogues.Violet also let Jade know that looking after Adonis was the only reason Adryan survived. She couldn't imagine the inner battle his lycan was having after losing their mate for over a year. Violet had hugged Jade tightly the moment she entered the pack house, swearing to never leave her side. Jaade couldn't conceal her tears when she saw her baby, Adonis's eyes filled the moment he saw his mother,
Memories kept coming back to her like the tide in an ocean. When she tried to pull back they hit back stronger. Until she regained her lost memories. And everything hit her all at once. Her past, her mate, her son...she has a son, whom she hadn't seen for over a year.Her sense of loss was so powerful, that it felt hard to breathe. Looking at Darius, knowing what he had done, and taken away from, she didn't know what she felt anymore.———In the dead of night, as darkness covered everything, a figure was seen walking with purpose. Jade kept her footsteps light as she walked towards the border of the territory. As she reached the border, she remembered what Darius had shown her before. The border was bound with immense magic making it impossible for one to cross the border, as Jade reached her hand towards where she thought the boundary was, her hands felt empty air. It felt as if the magic bound had completely disappeared, which shocked her as she didn't expect things to be so simpl
"Darius" A voice roared, "You better come back here boy". A ten-year-old boy slammed a door open, he looked like he was running away from something, although his leg was injured, and he was unsteady on the right side of his leg due to the pain. He had no wolf, he wasn't like the average werewolf off springs who would be able to heal despite not being of age where they could shift.Struggling as he ran, not stopping at all, fearing that the person would catch up to him and he would have to go through something worse. All of a sudden he feels himself bump into someone and falls to the ground, wincing in pain."Darius" a soft voice calls out his name in confusion, looking up from the ground, his eyes meet a pair of warm ocean-blue eyes filled with worry. Her eyes took in his injured body, from his hands that had fresh wounds and slash markings, to his wrists that looked like he was tied down to something tightly, with his clothes tattered and barely hanging on by the end.

1 year laterHead tilted toward the sky with her eyes closed, Jade feels the cool wind blow around her, brushing her skin ever so softly, as the first drop of rain drops, slowly, with one or two drops turning to a constant rhythmic dance as the rain gets heavier. Suddenly she didn't feel the raindrops on her skin anymore, opening her eyes, she was met with an umbrella above her head, and turned to the side to find a pair of violet-coloured eyes already staring back at her. A smile graces her face, wet hair strands sticking to her face. With his free hand, Darius tries to pull her under the shelter of the umbrella completely, only for Jade to knock the umbrella out of his hands completely, causing him to get drenched in the heavy rain as well.Darius pulls Jade closer to his body, his hands cupping her small face, bringing her face closer to his face, Jade closes her eyes anticipating him to kiss her when she feels his lips place a soft kiss on her forehead. Tingles spread throughout h
Flashback (5 years ago)Jade's eyes felt like someone had clued them together, her head was pounding as she sat up, and she could smell the burnt smell of flesh surrounding her, with people screaming around her, tears slid down her cheeks, she was thankful for the first time in her life for being blind, because she knew that she wouldn't be able to stomach the view around her. Death loomed in the air.Trying to stand up on her shaky legs, she stumbles but she doesn't fall to the ground like she expected herself to instead she feels someone's touch on her body, their cold hands supporting her body, causing her body to tense up. "Who are-e you?" She asks, her voice stuttering with fear. Her question is met with silence, and the next instant she's picked up bridal style, she could tell that it was a man as she felt one side of her body pressed onto their hard chest. She feels the person carefully navigate through the aftermath of the fire.After a few moments, the person stops walking,
