Alpha Adryan novel Chapter 57

Darkness enveloped the daylight by the time Adryan had returned to the packhouse along with Brian, Nathan, and the warriors that accompanied them to the Eclipse pack. Arther had volunteered to stay back and guard until they came back. Jade had been waiting for hours, she would help the Omegas with pack chores, other times she would pace back and forth worrying, thinking that the rogues might have come back and attacked them.

She was relieved when she saw Adryan, her eyes checking for cuts and scratches but coming up empty, the only thing that seemed out of place was his hair, which seemed to stick in all directions as if he had run his hands through them multiple times.

Jade's eyes stray away from Adryan to the small group of seven people that stood in between the warriors. She felt a lump in her throat as she took in their appearance, all of them looked like they had been dragged to hell and back, with their clothes tattered in places, hanging by a loose thread in places, blood covering their clothes and limbs. The group consisted of three men and three women along with a toddler that seemed to be around three. Wariness and fear were evident in their eyes as they looked around.

She could understand their situation completely, as she was in their exact position three years ago. She was a bit content with the fact that they had each other, unlike her, who had no one at the time.

As the group warily followed Adryan, Jade takes slow steps towards them, she greets them and helps them to the pack house where the guest rooms were arranged for them to stay. At first, they varied to follow her, but basking in her comforting and kind aura, they gave in.

Jade had just shown the wolves to their room, giving them a small tour of the room they were going to stay in. She'd ensured them that they were safe in the Blood Moon Pack and didn't have to fear rogues.

As she walked into the kitchen, she had spotted Adryan sitting on one of the stools, going to stand behind him, she rubs her arms up and down his back, causing his tensed back muscles to let loose as he basked in his mates presence, inhaling in her intoxicating scent.

Grabbing his soft hands in his, he moves her forward, so that she was standing beside his seated position. He brings her down further so that now she was seated on his lap.

His actions caused redness to spread on her cheeks.

She feels his fingers moving away the stray pieces of hair that hung before her eyes like a curtain shielding her eyes from his. Ocean blue eyes stared into the emerald green with so much intensity.

Adryan moves his face closer to hers, resting his forehead on hers, their breaths mingling together as tingles spread through both of their skin like a sky lighting up with fireworks.

Silence fills the room. Calmness and warmth surrounded their bodies.

Jade stacked the books in their original position, clearing them off the table. Dusting and wiping everything off.

Jade was in Adryan's home office, looking around she admired her work. Jade had learned that Adryan hated the maids or anyone in particular touching and moving his things from their original place, So Jade had taken it upon herself to clean his office which had started to collect dust.

Her eyes skim over the contents that lay on top of the desk, her eyes stopping on the photo frame that was placed face down on the desk as if Adryan didn't want to stare at it but also didn't want to discard it off.

Her hands slowly drift towards the photo frame, gently grasping it in her hands, she turns it to face the front.

Her eyes take in the picture before her. She sucks in a sharp breath, staring at the three people on it. Two pairs of ocean-blue eyes and a pair of hazel eyes stared back at her.

The woman in the picture had a familiar pair of ocean blue eyes, she was beautiful with her midnight black her that made her eyes stand out like two glittering gems of blue. Both of her hands were placed on the shoulders of two boys that looked to be about the same age, maybe around seven. One of them had ocean blue eyes just like the woman, with midnight black hair just like hers, it didn't take a genius to figure out that she was his mother. Meanwhile, the other boy's features were different from the mother and son duo, with hazel green eyes and brown hair with light highlights. They looked happy, both the boys with their arms thrown over each other's shoulders as they grinned at the camera with their lips curved up with genuine happiness and innocence of childhood. She wasn't stupid, she knew that the boy with the blue eyes was Adryan and the woman was the former Luna of the pack, and Adryan's mother, whom Jade had never met.
