twenty nine – Highlight Chapter from Alpha Adryan
twenty nine is a standout chapter in Alpha Adryan by Naomi Jordan, where the pace intensifies and character dynamics evolve. Rich in drama and tension, this part of the story grips readers and pushes the Werewolf narrative into new territory.
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 didn't 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, 'that's going to be one sticky mess' She thought to herself.
"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'II 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," 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.
