It's been three hours since they'd been travelling in the car, it wouldn't
be long before they reached The Blood Moon Pack house.
Jade had dozed off in the backseat while Adryan kept his attention
around the sorrounding occasionally turning back to look at her
sleeping figure. He felt like a creeper but he couldn't contain himself
since it had been three years since he had seen her, or felt the mate
bond so strongly.
The sudden emotions that stirred inside him were overwhelming all of a
sudden.
As he looked in the mirror for the hundredth time, he found his eyes
move to the tiny figure buckled into the car seat, and to his surprise the
person looked right back at him, his blue green eyes staring back at
him curiously.
It seemed like his breath had gotten caught in his throat for he couldn't
move his eyes away from his son, who looked back at him.
His eyes were a perfect mixture of blue and green, just like Adryans and
Jades.
Adonis looks away, turning his head to the side only to be met with the
sight of Jade sleeping peacefully next to him, leaned on the car window.
It wasn't long before the rocky path they had been travelling on cleared
paving way to a new road, which was more smooth to travel on. The car
drives past the pack house, taking another route. It was still dark
outside and not many were outside besides the ones that were in
charge of guarding the pack borders during the night.
The car finally comes to a stop infront of a modern two story house.
Adryan opens his car door, stepping outside he looks at his
surroundings, finally glad to be back home and also in bringing back
Jade home successfully, who was still sleeping in the backseat.
He opens the back door of the car, careful to catch Jade when her
leaning body was about to fall when he opened the door. It was a
surprise how she still hasn't woken up from her slumber.
Adonis stares at Adryan all the while but doesn't make a noise of any
sort.
Adryan takes Jade into his arms, wrapping his arms under her knees,
carrying her bridal style. The other two cars reached the pack house
right after Adryans car did, they started piling out of the car themselves,
helping in carrying the belongings of Jade and Adonis.
Just when he was about to walk past the thresh hold of the house, he
feels Jade stirring awake in his arms followed by her opening her
emerald green eyes which stared up at him in confusion. Probably her
brain taking a few minutes to recollect the memories of the past five or
more hours.
"Adryan?" she asks aloud, with her eyebrows still scrunched in
confusion. She felt hazy but confused, was she dreaming about him?
her hands extend on their own accord, coming to touch his face, when
she felt the slight roughness of the five o'clock shadow forming on his
chin, she retracts her hands back in shock Then her eyes suddenly
widen with realization as the memories hit her all at once. Her putting
Adonis to sleep, the door bell, seeing Adryan for the first time, him
giving her an ultimatum and her agreeing to go with him willingly.
Suddenly she starts panicking, when she couldn't Ifind any traces of her
son, Adonis was nowhere to be seen. Then she realizes the position she
was in, with Adryan carrying her in his arms bridal style.
"Put me down Adryanâ she says, looking at him. he had kept quiet
throughout her mini freakout, he didnt want to ruin the moment,
cherishing the feeling of her in his arms. she felt so tiny in his arms, and
the way she snuggled into his chest since it was almost December,
meaning that it was cold outside even though winter was around the
corner.
He doesnt reply nor does he comply to her request which infuriates her
further.
"Put me down Adryan, NOW!" she whisper yells the last words, all the
haziness from her short lived sleep was gone now. deciding on not
wanting to anger her further, he slowly places her down on her feet.
when shes back on her feets, she doesnt look around her sorroundings
but turns to face Adryan, "Where is Adonis?" she asks him.
Adryans eyes shift towards outside, where the cars was parked with its
back door opened. Jade follows his eyes, realizing that her son was still
in the car, not waiting for any further instructions she walks towards the
car herself.
A smile finds itself onto her face when she finds Adonis awake, looking
at his sorrounding curiously and at the wolves that were walking back
and forth with their belongings.
"Hi" she whispers, careful not to startle him, Adonisâ face snaps towards
Jades when he hears her voice, his face lighting up at her appearance.
"Up" is all he manages to say, lifting up his arms in the air indicating
that he wants to be picked up by her. she complies to his request, by
unbuckling him from his car seat and finally lifting him into her arms,
she feels relief course through her at the familiar feeling of him in her
arms.
"Come on" she says, placing a kiss on his chubby cheeks causing him to
nuzzle his face into her neck in a comfortable position.
She walks back into house, finding Adryan standing right where she
had left him, he had watched them interact with each other.
"So..." she speaks, catching Adryans attention was busy looking at
adonis tiny frame in her arms. "Where are we going to stay?".
He looks back at her a few seconds and then decides to speak up, "I'll
show you". with that being said he walks further into the house, walking
up a couple of stairs leading to the first floor, which showed off a long
hallway, It was dark but her enhanced wolf sight helped her from not
tripping and knocking into thing. she could tell that the places was
completely wood furnished.
He stops when he reaches a black door, opening it he walks inside, as
soon as Jade walks in she could tell that it was his room, for his vanilla
scent lingered around the room. She stops near the room as soon as
she scented it.
Not hearing her light footsteps behind him, he turns to find her
standing near the door to his room.
"What is it?" He asks confused by her actions.
She looks at him like he had just said a joke to her.
"When I said to show me where I was staying, I wasn't expecting it be
your room. I meant a guest room." She says as a matter of fact.
Her words make him tense, there was no way in hell he letting her be
out of his sight.
âI'm not letting you out of my sight, and him too" he says while staring
back at her, his eyes moving towards Adonis head that rested on her
shoulder.
"Look, If you think that I'm going to run away again, I won't." she rubs
her free hand under her eyes tiredly while the other was placed on
Adonisâ back "I'm extremely tired and nor do I have the energy to argue
with you at five o'clock in the morning. We can talk about whatever you
want later in the day. You can even increase the security around the
house for your own reassurance.â She rants all in one go, she was
extremely tired and she didn't want to argue with Adryan on which
room she'd stay when she was ready to drop and sleep somewhere.
He thinks about her words for some moments. Things with them were
fragile and one of the things Adryan feared was driving her over the
edge with his demands and possessiveness. He couldn't help it, it was
like a build in mechanism.
"Fine, but you both are staying in the room next to mine." He states
with finality in his voice.
"Okay" she complies, knowing this was his way of letting it go.
