It was a normal day, as long as she ignored the fact that she didn't
wake up in her bed, nor in her own house. It took Jade a few minutes to
come to the realization that she was in The Blood Moon Pack territory
now.
She sighs as she sat upright on the soft mattress, turning her head to
the side, she nearly had a heart attack when she found the spot next to
hers empty, Adonis had slept beside her yesterday, yet he wasn't beside
her or anywhere in the room for the matter, which worried her.
Climbing down from the bed, she goes into the washroom to brush her
teeth, and does her normal morning routine, just ten times faster today
since her mind wouldn't rest until she found her son.
Rushing down the stairs which she vaguely remembered from her
memories from a few hours ago, she didnât wait to stop and examine
the furnishing and layout of the house, oddly enough she'd
remembered the way Adryan had taken, remembering that she had
merely got a glance into the kitchen in the dark.
Taking a right, she follows the path from where the scent of pancakes
seemed to linger in the air around her.
As soon as she rounded the corner, she was met with the sight of a
giggling toddler and a woman flipping pancakes like a pro.
"Ehm" she tries clearing her throat to catch their attention, and she
succeeds when the female figure immediately turns themselves around,
causing Jade's eyes to widen.
She rushes towards the female, immediately engulfing her in a hug as
the female returned her gesture by wrapping her arms around Jade, a
chuckle leaving her lips as she did. The scent of apples soothing Jade,
with its familiarity.
"It's good to see you too, Jade" Violet whispers, pulling back from the
bone crushing hug.
"Violet, it's been such a long time" Jade says, with tears glistening in her
eyes as well as Violet's, both feeling overwhelmed after seeing each
other for three whole years.
"I know, and I hated the fact that we couldn't even call each other" It
totally sucked that Jade and Violet couldn't even call and catch up with
each other.
It was Violets idea obviously, she didn't want to risk getting caught,
since she was the beta female, she would be near Adryan or in his
vicinity, and she didn't want to risk him hearing his mate's voice over a
phone call. It was a bit far-fetched to think to that extent, but fear and
guilt makes one take great measures.
Jade turns her head towards Adonis, who was sat on a high chair, with
pancakes before him, coated with maple syrup, and it looked like the
boy was having his best time eating away his daily dose of sugar.
"Oh boy, why would you give him pancakes and that too coated with
maple syrup, I'm going to have a field day with him today running
around, all high on sugar like a hyperactive two-year-old would" she
stares at Adonis, who turns his head towards her when he hears her
voice, he gives her a toothy smile with maple syrup dripping down the
edges of his lip and over it like a mustache.
Violet looks in the same direction as Jade and cringes a bit when she
finds him all covered up with maple syrup, âthat's going to be one sticky
messâ She thought to herself.
"Well, you can't blame me..." Violet says when she turns to find Jade
glare at her. "I was so excited to meet you when Adryan told me about
your arrival, I barged into your room and viola, I find this little
munchkin sitting upright and playing with your hair. I couldn't resist his
ultra cuteness. Especially those eyes. I'm officially jealousâ she breaks
out into a complete rant.
"Yeah, I get what you're saying. He knows how to wrap someone
around his finger. Sometimes it scares me with how he can make
people melt at his feet" Jade stares at Adonis who seemed busy with
his pancakes. Her presence long forgotten in front of his beloved
pancakes.
"Well when Scarlett told me that you had a son I was ecstatic to meet
him, but I wasn't expecting him to be a carbon copy of Adryan and you.
Like literally. It seems like God took both your pictures and morphed it
together" she says with detailed description
Jade turns to looks at Violet weirdly, "that's oddly specific and a weird
way to prove your point, but I get what you're saying.â
"Violet, I think I smell something burning.â Jade grimaces as the burnt
smell reaches her nostrils.
"OHMYGOD, My freakishly delicious pancakes are being burnt to
death.â She yells before rushing over to the stove, and immediately
turning it off. Not before burning her hand while taking the pan of
pancakes off the stove and into the sink, causing a loud bang to
reverberate throughout the kitchen.
Violet yelps around, holding her burned hands and yelling at the same
time. "I BURNED MY FINGERS"
"Violet" Jade calls out, her eyes widened thrice their size seeing the
mishap happening before her very own eyes, "You are a werewolf, you
will heal? Remember." Jade says as a matter of fact.
Jade's words cause Violet to stop in her actions and tilt her head in
thought. "Oh my gosh, You're right. Well at least I have my fingers
intactâ she says with relief in her voice, holding her hands close to her
chest.
"The perks of having an eyesight : you get to see your best friend make
a fool out of herself" Jade mumbles under her breath, shaking her head
from side to side.
"Fwinished" a voice speaks up, causing Jade to look at the toddler
seated in his high chair.
Looking at the mess Adonis has created while eating his breakfast, Jade
speaks up, "Hey, I need to give Adonis a bath, but I'll find you
afterwards...does that sound okay? Would you be free by then?" Jade
asks while picking Adonis up from his highchair, balancing him on her
hips. She smiles as he places a slobbery kiss on her cheeks, successfully
managing to rub off the maple syrup onto her face.
"Uh, well, let me see..after the countless amount of meetings, video
calls, brunches I have planned for today I don't think I would be able to
meet up with you later-" Violet continues on her sarcastic rant only to
stop short in her tracks when she spots someone else's presence in the
room, Jades' eyes follow her paths, her eyes meeting a pair of ocean
blue ones.
"Alpha" Violet instantly shows her respect by acknowledging Adryan's
presence, bowing her head respectfully.
"Violet" Adryan addresses her presence,â Would you be able to bathe
him? I need to talk with Jade for a few moments".
Violet felt like the spotlight was put on her, she felt conflicted. On one
side was her best friend whom she knew wasn't ready to talk with
Adryan and on the other side was her Alpha, and the said mate.
