Jade could hear the excitement, she could hear them murmuring, the
packs all across the world mingling together. She could feel them move
about all around her. She was even able to detect the heat of a few
stares directed at herself.
"Why are they staring at me?" Jade asks Violet, startling her. Violet
looks around them, indeed quite a few of them were staring at Jade, a
few she wolves with jealousy or envy in their eyes, or males with
curiosity and lust portrayed on their faces.
"Maybe you're making all these woman jealous and look bad with your
ethereal looks.â Jade's mouth drops open at Violet's words. She didn't
know anyone would be envious of her, if only they knew the fact that
she couldn't even see herself for that matter.
Violet guides Jade towards where the table were situated at one side of
the ball room, were a few children, elders and mated couples were
enjoying their wine, dining or just talking with each other.
"Here. Take a seatâ she helps Jade sit.
"Thankyou" Jade thanks Violet.
"No worries, you wouldn't mind if I have a dance with my mate would
you?!" Violets asks, making Jade shake her head in denial.
"No, go ahead. Enjoy." Jade says.
"Are you sure Jade?" Violet hesitates.
"No, now go." Jade shoo's Violet.
"Okay thanks, you're the best" Violet grins "and oh, I picked you up a
drink, it's just orange juice if you're wonderingâ.
Jade thanks Violet for the drink. Violet finally leaves to find her mate,
not before promising Jade that she'd be back soon.
She sips on her drink while listening to everyone mingle, and have a
good time. She didn't know anyone apart from Violet here that well.
"Do you have a name, or can I call you mine ?" Someone speaks up
from infront of Jade, startling her for a second.
"Excuse me?" Her eyebrows draw together in confusion.
"Somebody better call God, because he's missing an angel" the voice
speaks up again. Jade blushes at his words. She couldn't figure out why
this random person was talking to her.
"Umm..can I help you?" Jade asks with confusion.
"Damn, no words have ever hurt me like yours just did.â The stranger
speaks up again this time with sadness lacing his words.
"You really are that naive huh? Here I am trying to hit on you and you
single handedly crushed my heart into two pieces without even trying.
God, what has my life come to.â The voice exclaims dramatically.
"I'm sorryâ worry seeps into Jade's features thinking that she had hurt
this man's feeling.
"Well, you can make it up to me by joining me on the dance floor" the
voice says.
"I don't know how to dance" Jade felt bad for declining him, but she
had never ever danced once in her lifetime, unless she had a wish for
breaking her neck or spinal cord that is.
"Oh, come on" the person grabs Jade's hands, pulling her towards the
direction of the dance floor. Oddly enough, she felt comfortable in this
total strangers presence. He radiated warmth unlike some people.
A slow song plays in the background, the stranger places one of his
hands on her waist and the other one takes her hand in his as the both
sway side to side.
"Who are you?" Jade asks him out of curiosity, here she was dancing
with a stranger whose name she didn't even know in the first place.
"Ahhh, where are my manners. I'm Jacob Black, Alpha to The Deep
Shallow Pack.â
Jade's mouth drops open, now that she was aware about it she could
feel the power he emitted, but it wasn't too intimidating unlike
Adryanâs.
The Deep Shallow Pack was one of the unproblematic pack out there,
they liked their calm and peaceful nature, they didn't indulge in wars
and petty fights over lands like other leaders.
Their pack was in that sense similar to The Evergreen Forest Pack, her
old pack.
Jade could feel a lump forming in her throat at the thought of her old
pack. There were moments were her mind took back to memories of
that night, almost like it wanted her to remember something but no
matter what, she couldn't put her hands on what it was really.
There was a motive behind why they attacked her pack, she knew that
much. She also feared that it was because of her, because of the secret
she had been hiding all her life. Why would a pack of rogues attack
their pack otherwise?!
"Hello Earth to.." Jacob's voice brings her back to the present. She also
realized that she hadn't told him her name yet.
"Jade. Jade Estrada.â She tells him.
Estrada. Jacob's mind runs wild at the last name. It sounded familiar. He
had heard that name before.
"Your parents wouldn't be Dominic Estrada and Claire Estrada by any
chance?" He asks suddenly.
Jade's eyebrows scrunch together with confusion, how did he know her
parent's?.
"Yes...how do you know my parents?" She asks him with caution.
"Oh wow, small world" his eyes widen in surprise "it's really you, well to
answer your question my father and your father were friends back in
college and I've heard him speak about you and your family.â He
answers.
Well Jade didn't know much people outside of her pack, people inside
the pack knew her because she was their Alpha's Daughter and the
future Alpha.
Jade didn't socialize like normal wolves her age did, one because she
was anti-social and the second reason was that her being blind
restricted her from going out and having fun, besides her parents were
extremely over protective over her.
"Can I?" A voice interrupts their socializing. Adryan wanted to dance
with his mate, Vince kept nagging at the back of his mind like a damn
tape recorder.
