It was dark outside by the time she woke up, her eyes went to the alarm clock placed beside her bed. 3.03 am. it read. She looked around her bed and discovered that Adonis was not in the toddler bed that Adryan had purchased for him a while ago; it was spiderman themed, which Adonis enjoyed, and he didn't make a fuss to sleep with her on her bed. She wasn't worried about his sudden disappearance, for the scent of vanilla lingered in the room like a blanket gave her an idea about his whereabouts. Jade moved the comforter aside as she got up, putting her feet on the chilly ground, which helped a little in waking her up from her sleep-induced state. She'd woken up in the infirmary a few hours before, and the pack doctor had given his approval for her to return to the house. On the way, Jade couldn't help but notice how some pack members looked at Arther with suspicion, and some were even hostile, perhaps because he was still a rogue and carried the scent with him, and Adryan's pack was

Jade woke up feeling strange, she didn't know why but something was drawing her towards the outside that particular day. So she didn't find it surprising when after finishing her chores for the morning and leaving Adonis at the daycare center, she ventured out on her own to explore the pack territory, but she didn't know where she was going, it felt as if her legs had a mind of their own as they carried her past the packhouse, which was alive during that time of the day. She could see men leaving for the border patrol, mothers fussed after their energetic toddlers, teenagers leaving for school, and some of the pack members even called out to greet her, to which she greeted back with a smile on her face. It was a chilly kind of day, the wind kissed her bare arms, making her hair fly softly in the wind. She walked past houses that belonged to the pack members, not everyone in the pack stayed in the packhouse, some liked their privacy and decided to move into a house after finding their

Jade stood up from her earlier seated position on the love seat when she had entered the library after dinner, she hadn't expected to spend so much time in there, skimming for something to read, but it seemed like she was gravitating toward a genre in specific, which she didn't even know she was looking for.Creatures of the night. The title read.The entailed information about various creatures of the night. Ever since she those violet-colored eyes, she was curious to know what creature those belonged to, she knew that he couldn't be a werewolf since werewolves generally had yellow, green, brown, and grey eyes, the ones corresponding to their human side, besides she had an inkling that he was something else entirely.She moved towards the shelf where she had picked the book from, keeping it back in its original position, she made her way outside, moving towards the direction of her room where she had put Adonis to sleep earlier.A growl halts her in her footsteps, turning to the side,

Darkness enveloped the daylight by the time Adryan had returned to the packhouse along with Brian, Nathan, and the warriors that accompanied them to the Eclipse pack. Arther had volunteered to stay back and guard until they came back. Jade had been waiting for hours, she would help the Omegas with pack chores, other times she would pace back and forth worrying, thinking that the rogues might have come back and attacked them.She was relieved when she saw Adryan, her eyes checking for cuts and scratches but coming up empty, the only thing that seemed out of place was his hair, which seemed to stick in all directions as if he had run his hands through them multiple times.Jade's eyes stray away from Adryan to the small group of seven people that stood in between the warriors. She felt a lump in her throat as she took in their appearance, all of them looked like they had been dragged to hell and back, with their clothes tattered in places, hanging by a loose thread in places, blood coveri

"Say bye, Adonis" Jade says as she holds Adonis in her arms. Who had tear streaks on his face from crying, the moment he saw Adryan getting into the car along with Brian and the few of the warriors of the pack to leave towards the Werewolf committee, he had started bawling his eyes out. Making grabby hands towards Adryan, wanting to be picked up, but when he realised that he wasn't going to be picked up, hell broke loose. "Bye" Jade's hands held Adonis' small ones in hers, waving as Adryan's car rolled away. Of course, Adryan had been hesitant to leave seeing his son's tear stained face, but he had no choice but to leave, as it was an important matter they had to discuss about. He had kissed her and Adonis on the cheek, saying his goodbye.They wouldn't be able to see him for a month or two, depending on how the werewolf committee works around the issue. Both Jade and Adryan were thankful that they had gotten time to spend with each other and Adonis before he left.She wipes away the
