Jade'Mummy?'I opened my eyes and saw nothing but complete darkness.'Mummy.'I hurriedly stood up and whirled around, still seeing nothing but darkness. 'Nathan?''Mummy!''Natalie?!'My heart began to pound ferociously in my chest as I switched my sight to the wolf's.I screamed out in frustration when I still saw nothing.'Nathan?! Natalie?! Natasha?!''C'mon, babies. Where are you?'Natasha's sweet high voice was faint when she said, 'Mummy, where are you? I miss you mummy.''I miss you too, my darling. So very much. Please, please, tell me where you are.'Silence.'Natalie?'I waited again, but there was nothing but silence. Tears began tumbling down my cheeks as I stumbled around in the darkness, calling out for my children'Nathan? Natalie? Natasha? Please, my babies, answer me. Where are you?''Jade.''Conan?''Jade, wake up. Please, babe.''Conan, my children! I can't find them!''Jade.'My eyes opened and the harsh glare of fluorescent light made me close them back."Jade
JadeHe told me that he would do so immediately when he was done. I watched as he went to the kitchen and after a few minutes, he came back with a tray containing a cup of tea and some snacks. He helped me up and placed the tray gently in front of me. I smiled at him as I took the snacks, ate some and also drank the tea. He opened my bag and brought out the drugs that had been prescribed to me. It wasn't until he saw that I was on the bed, safe and well fed did he leave to go back to the palace. I waved at him and then he told me that he would come back very soon to check up on me. I blushed when he left as I thought about how he had cared. His worried expression was very different from the look he had on his face when he had been fighting with the rogues. I tossed on my bed trying to sleep but the dream I had about my children was still on my mind. I wondered if they were okay and I checked my phone occasionally to see if Mr. N had dropped a message. I was also curious about how h
Jade"Jade!" The Voice yelled out again.I frowned, the voice sounded like Helene, but I wasn't certain. I wondered how whoever it was had gotten into my apartment, and then I realized it must have been due to Brad breaking in or picking the lock.Just one more thing to not forgive him for. I thought to myself as I looked over at him to see him still sitting, looking at the door warily as though he expected another rogue to come barreling in.So much for being an Alpha. I thought as I rolled my eyes.Against my better judgment, I called out to the stranger. "Helene! Is that you? The voice grew louder and closer as she replied, "Yeah, dumbass! Who else would it be?"My face split into a wide grin as her footsteps grew closer."Where are you?" She asked."I'm in the bedroom!" I called out back."Oh, my moon goddess! Helene, what are you doing here?" I squealed as she appeared at my bedroom door.She smiled cockily and a giant wave of home sickness hit me, and I didn't realize that I had
JadeUh oh, I thought as Helene pressed her lips together and her eyes darted to me. I widened my eyes at her and shook my head ferociously.I knew Brad was suspicious due to the fact that the town we lived in was mainly Nightingale Pack territory. We had no humans living amongst us and we always tried to stay under the radar, doing all we could to prevent humans from wanting to live there."She brought me here when I first moved in," I hurriedly said."Yeah. And I missed her. Can't I visit my best friend whom I have missed very much? What's it to ya?" She said, placing a hand on her hip and cocking an eyebrow."Not at all. Umm… welcome to our… town, Miss Helene," Brad said, his earlier bravado gone in the face of Helene's cockiness.I stifled a laugh. Who knew the great Alpha Brad would be scared of a five-foot-four-inch human who looked like a doll with her bright blonde hair and big blue eyes?He turned to me. "Well, Jade. I hope you feel better and get well very soon."'Thank you,
BradAs I exited Jade’s apartment, I looked back at the closed door as I remembered the wave of uneasiness that had crashed over me when her friend had walked into the room. At first appearance, she had looked like an ordinary ditzy blonde, but her eyes had held a glimmer of intelligence in them, and she had looked at me as though she could see right through me. It had made me highly uncomfortable, especially when in one second, she had looked like she was flirting with me and in the next, she had looked as though she was making fun of me. I remembered how she and Jade had given themselves coy looks, and decided to wave off what had happened in there as girls being just girls.Maybe Jade had told her about me. Could it be that she's interested in me? I thought to myself, as I walked down towards the car that I had parked on the other side of the road.My ears picked up a trace of mocking laughter coming from Jade's apartment, and my jaw clenched as I tried my best to ignore it, and wh
ConanLuna Trina's voice halted any movement, as my fist froze midair, hanging suspended a few millimeters from Brad's nose. He let go of my collar and pushed me back violently. I ignored that childish move from him and turned to Luna who was staring at the both of us with anger and disapproval written on every inch of her face.She cast a glance to the maids and guards who were gathered outside the room, and they all scattered. Soon, we were alone in that part of the palace."What on earth do you both think you're doing?" She asked as she walked into the room and slammed the door close behind her.Shame burned in my belly and at the back of my throat as I glanced at Brad to see that he had his eyes trained on the floor, his fist clenched and his cheeks still flushed red from anger. I lost control, I admit that but I rarely lost control. I had always prided myself on the fact that I have spent years mastering and mastering my emotions until they were nothing but weapons to use for my
ConanI finally left the palace, but not until after Trina had sat us down again , lecturing us on unity, intent on settling the fight between Brad and I. She must have had too much time on her hands, I thought to myself as I hurriedly drove away from the palace after she finally deigned to dismiss us.I quickly returned back to Jade’s apartment to check on her. When I went to her room, she was already asleep. I smiled at how gentle and beautiful she looked when she was sleeping. I moved closer to her and covered her with the blanket.As I turned to leave, she pulled me back, opening her eyes faintly and telling me not to go. “Do you want me to stay with you?” I asked her as I sat beside her on the bed."Where's your friend, Helene?""She had to leave, something urgent came up.""You miss her already?" I guessed.She nodded sadly, her lips puckered in an adorable, yet sexy pout that made me want to lean down and capture those plump lips with mine. My cock stirred to attention as I
JadeI covered my face with my hands, my darting right and left across the crowd as eyes began to turn my way.The several guests of honor, all of whom were Alphas, also turned their gazes my way, staring at me with unconcealed interest in their eyes.Conan continued speaking, oblivious to the tension and whispers. He had moved away from talking about me, and had started talking about the pack.I glared at him before retreating and walking out of the venue as fast as my heeled sandals could take me.As I walked out, I heard someone calling my name."Jade! Hey, Jade. Wait up!"My heart in my throat, I looked back to see a handsome blonde man striding towards me, a creepy grin on his face.I looked around the parking lot, but it was deserted as music blared out loudly from the festival site.He jogged over to me and stood in front of me, breathing slightly heavily."Hi," he finally said.I grabbed on to my bag strap tighter as I eyed him warily."Hi," I responded. He ran his smarmy gaz
