Alpha Adryan novel Chapter 16

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." 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 seat" 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 wondering".

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." 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." The voice exclaims dramatically.

"I'm sorry" worry seeps into Jade's features thinking that she had hurt this man's feeling.

"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." 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." 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.
