Walking towards the front door of the pack house and instantly feeling
the fresh air whipping her loose hair around, causing a smile to graze
her face with the familiar feeling.
She always loved walking outside, infact she used to spend a lot of time
in the backyard back home tending to her flowers and playing with the
pups. Thinking about home makes her think about the loved ones she
lost not so long ago.
She shakes her head to clear off the sad thoughtg, guess walking would
help her as running in her wolf form wouldn't be a smart idea as no one
knows her real identity here and she doesnât want hunters to know
about her whereabouts and hunt down this pack too like they did to
hers, she couldn't possibly handle the guilt.
She walks around the pack grounds that is around the edge of the
forest, she could hear shrieks and laughter of pups and their parents
telling them to be careful, she instantly realises that it's a playground
for the young children as she walks towards where she could hear their
voices.
She keeps walking when she suddenly feels herself colliding with
someone else and she instantly feels small hands wrapping around her
legs, she realises that it's a small pup as she bents down so she could
pick up the pup, and her hands comes in contact with short smooth
hair letting her know that it's a boy, she always loved small babies and
toddlers and this just made her heart melt.
She picks him up and places him on het hip, the little boy instantly
snuggles into her side by nuzzling his head into Jade's neck and hair as
if to hide himself from others making her as his hair tickled the skin on
her neck.
"Hello baby" she speaks up and she feels small hands circling around
her neck and she hears a muffled cute voice saying "Hello" back.
She places a hand on his back while the other rubs his back and his tiny
body instantly relaxes in Jade's hold, she wished to have a child of my
her own one day, but now she wasn't so sure of herself as her mate
doesn't even want her and plus she was blind for god's sake. How can
she take care of a child if she can't take care of herself properly.
"What is your name, honey?" Jade aska him softly and he lifts his face
from his initial position on her neck.
"My nwame is Lwion and I'm four ywears old-d" he says proudly in a
baby voice causing Jade to swoon at his cuteness
"Hello Lion, my name is Jwade" she replies in a baby voice which makes
Lion giggle. He suddenly clamps both his tiny hands on het cheeks and
he seems to be looking at her face for sometime and then blurts out
the words which made her feel like keeping him to herself but she
knows that it isn't possible and his parents wouldn't approve of it.
"You Iwook beawtifwull Jwade" he says and she hugs him tightly, not
enough to hurt his small body.
"Aww, aren't you a handsome little man" that makes him fold his hands
on his chest and say in a cute angry voice âI'm not a small man, I'm a
bwig boy" and she tickles him to which he squirms and giggles in her
hold trying to free himself.
"Lion" a male voice calls out which seems to snap both Lion and Jade
out of their previous actions and, Jade srunches her face in confusion.
"Lion, where are you?" The voice calls out again and it sounds a bit
worried.
Lion instantly reclaims his earlier position by nuzzling his head into
Jade's neck, she stands there confused for a moment and smile
afterwards when she realises the situation.
"Lion, are you hiding from someoneâ she asks him and he nods his
small head with his face still in her neck, she laughs and shake her head
at his antics. Kids
"Lion- oh" she feels the presence of the male infront of her causing her
tense up, she could feel the stare of several other pack members on
them, which she didn't seem to notice before as she was distracted by
Lion and his cuteness.
"Aahh, it's you" the male says almost sounding surprised, he seems to
be a top ranked warrior as he excludes some amount of power but not
as strong as an Alpha or Beta.
"Um..who are you?" She asks him "oh where are my manners, I'm
Nathaniel the Gamma and this little manâs uncleâ he says and I instantly
relax.
Lion chooses to come out of hiding by replying to his uncle's statement
âI'm not a Iwittle gwuy uncwule" he states and both Nathaniel and Jade
laugh at this.
She smiles at him and decides to introduce hetself âI'm Jade, and nice
to meet you Nathaniel" she says and he laughs.
"Nice to meet you too Jade, and I know who you are as I was among
one of the guards the night we caught you, and please call me Nathan"
he replies and she instantly likes him. She felt at ease in his presence,
normally she tended to stay away from male species but something
about Nathaniel just seemed so calming.
For a moment she tenses up when she heard him say that âhe knows
herâ as all her life she had been sheltered and kept as a secret by her
parents to protect her and the pack from the outside world. She feared
the fact that he might know about her secret that she had worked so
hard on keeping hidden.
Nathan seems to go quiet all of a sudden causing to furrow her brows
in confusion, he seems shy all of a sudden.
"Nathan? Are you okay?" She asks him concerned.
"I- 1 uh- would you like to go out on a date with me Jade?" He asks her
nervously fearing that she would reject him. She was shocked at his
request, no guy had ever asked her out as no one wanted a blind
girlfriend and being the Alpha's Daughter scared away boys.
"Uh- me? I'm blind" she asks him confused, he has definitely made a
mistake like who would ask her out...
"Of course I know that but that doesn't bother me and yes, I'm asking
you out..I mean look at you, you're young and beautifulâ he replies and
she instantly blushes as no grown man has ever called her âbeautifulâ.
She contemplates it for a moment and replies with an "okay" and a
smile.
"Then it's a date" he says and she blushes again.
"Uncle Nwathwan has a dwaattee" Lion exclaims and bounces in Jade's
hands causing her to blush even more if possible.
She hands Lion over to Nathan, who was sad to leave her arms but after
promising him that she would play with him the next day he went
willingly.
Among all the stares of all the pack members she failed to realise one
of them was watching their whole exchange with a furious expression
from the window on the top floor of the pack house.
Adryan felt red hot fury take over his senses when he saw her speaking
with Nate, his Delta. He felt like strangling him. His hands grips the side
of the windowsill in a tight grip causing small cracks to form on them.
