The Choice A. Jade Novels & Stories

When the girl nodded, she smiled and continued, "Do you know they are the same?" A look of surprise flashed across the nine year old's face. Her mother regarded this reaction with satisfaction. "This stone is called Jadeite. It's from Japan. Right now, it's full of impurities which is why it is dull and ugly. But after I cut and polish it, it'll look just like my earring." Astonishment filled the girl's eyes which grew wide when her mother demonstrated a little experiment with a small piece of the jade. "It's like magic!" she exclaimed. "You turned the ugly stone into a pretty gem!"

The box was a beautiful red in colour and it also smelled like her, maybe it was because she had been holding it for quite a while. I took the box from her and opened it. There was a beautiful jade bracelet inside. Taking it out, I couldn't help but gasp. A delicate, translucent green hue shimmered through the polished jade surface, almost like it was glowing from within. The jade itself was of the highest grade, its color consistent and pure, unmarred by any cracks or impurities. But what made it truly mesmerizing were the intricate carvings that adorned its surface.

Jackson walked in. “Let’s give them some privacy,” Todd said, ushering everyone out. Jackson sat on the edge of the bed. “Is it Luca’s?” Jade nodded. “That’s why you chose him?” “I don’t know what I’m doing, Jackson,” she admitted. He took her hand. “You’re still my mate. Even if it’s Luca’s kid, I want you. Remember that. I love you, Jade.” “Jackson…” “Choose carefully. Nothing will make me give up on you. But if you feel nothing for me…”

She replied dryly. Mr. Stone raised his eyebrows. “And?” Jade let out an exasperated breath. “Dearest dad, if you haven’t noticed yet, my eyes are brown. Who even names a girl with brown eyes as Jade?” The only response she got was a shrug. Jade looked at me with an expression as if to say, see? “Eve, now that you’re back, you must help me choose a name for this little one. I can’t rely on anyone else.”

Mom likes Jade because she's fashionable and can cook. "Sure! At least she's getting out of her shell now. Ask her if she wants Gold or Silver?" "Mom!-" "-Don't be jealous now and ask!" She cut me off. I sighed and wrote that before showing Jade and she points at Gold, still confused. "Gold" I say lazily. "So I have three options for her, I'll send the pictures to you right away so you can show her" she cuts the call afterwards. Mom didn't even give me any options for the green dress.

Jayden blurted out in anger. Staring at him with a blank expression, Rex kept mute until Jayden sat back down with a vicious anger. "As I was saying,” He kept on. "Jaylen is the Moon Goddess chosen Alpha. He is the Moon Goddess Choice and any attempt to go against this would result to the destruction of us all. And I don't think we want that—“ Jayden growled attempting to jump at Rex, but he got beaten to it by his twin brother. "No way! No way this is really happening!" Jaylen stood up with rage.

As Rose thought about it, a peaceful and happy smile appeared in her eyes. A dazzling array of jade decorations were placed on the bunks on the covered bridge. Rose did not like jade in the past. Firstly, it was because she had been born into a wealthy family, so jade was common. Secondly, she felt that jade was fragile. Given her mind was also fragile, she felt that it was a bad omen.

So, I pored over every website I could find, trying to find the one that was just right. “Oh, are those jewelry?” Jade’s voice came before she came over to me and draped an arm over my shoulders, leaning into me and stroking my upper arm. Her voice was warm and filled with joy. A cup of coffee appeared on my periphery, steaming hot. “My, my, my, they look expensive. Look at those sapphires, aren’t they gorgeous?” “No, no sapphires,” I muttered, more to myself than her. “She doesn’t like sapphires. Calls them ostentatious. Besides, red suits her better.”

Diamonds sparkled at her throat, real ones, the kind that cost more than most people made in a year. And on her arm was Caleb Harding. The NFL star, the business heir, looking at her like she hung the moon and stars. The applause was loud, but I was frozen in shock, my mind reeling as I struggled to process the impossible scene before me. "No," Mother whispered beside me, her voice shaking. "No, no, no." Jessica let out a shocked gasp, while Victoria looked like she'd seen a ghost. Meanwhile, Elena stepped up to the microphone, smiling brightly at the crowd.

"I said—stay away from Alec. He is MY mate. MY Alpha. Not yours." Silence. I just stared. Her eyes twitched, clearly annoyed that I wasn’t reacting. "He chose me," she continued, her voice rising with every word. "Do you hear that? He chose ME over you. He’s done it before and he will always choose me. Always." I exhaled slowly, but still said nothing. Amanda’s jaw tightened. She wanted a reaction. She wanted me to cry, she wanted me to break, she wanted to feel stronger than me.
