Alpha Adryan novel Chapter 59

"Say bye, Adonis" Jade says as she holds Adonis in her arms. Who had tear streaks on his face from crying, the moment he saw Adryan getting into the car along with Brian and the few of the warriors of the pack to leave towards the Werewolf committee, he had started bawling his eyes out. Making grabby hands towards Adryan, wanting to be picked up, but when he realised that he wasn't going to be picked up, hell broke loose.

"Bye" Jade's hands held Adonis' small ones in hers, waving as Adryan's car rolled away. Of course, Adryan had been hesitant to leave seeing his son's tear stained face, but he had no choice but to leave, as it was an important matter they had to discuss about. He had kissed her and Adonis on the cheek, saying his goodbye.

They wouldn't be able to see him for a month or two, depending on how the werewolf committee works around the issue. Both Jade and Adryan were thankful that they had gotten time to spend with each other and Adonis before he left.

She wipes away the tears on his face, placing a kiss on his cheeks.

It's been a month since Adryan left, and there has not been a single day where he hadn't called her, he called every day whenever he was free and made sure to ask about her day, about the things she's been up to, he would even talk to Adonis, which Jade found funny since Adonis talked in his baby language mostly, Adryan humoured him nonetheless.

Everything has been going good, the pack was thankfully functioning like usual, even without their Alpha and Beta present, everyone did their duties without a hush. With Jade, Violet, and Nathan it was a smooth sail to handle the pack.

Yet, somehow Jade's mind wandered back to the strange encounter she had with Adeena two weeks earlier, in the pack library.

flashback

Jade had continued her pursuit of going through various books relating to vampire history, the library didn't have much to offer on the species but the very little information she found among various pages of books, even the tiniest of details, she had made sure to read all of them.

She had been surfing through the books when she heard hush whispers from the farthest corner of the library. No one really visited the library much aside from her, Joan and a few high school students. Wanting to check what it was herself, she slowly moves towards the direction from where the whispers came.

Hiding her scent, she made sure not to make any noise and be light on her feet. Stopping, to a certain spot so that she was sure that she wasn't too close for the person to detect her nor too far for her to not hear what they were speaking about. Straining her ears, she tries to listen in on the conversation. It was clearly a female's voice, it seemed like the person was talking on the phone, and they were speaking too lowly, which made it slightly difficult even for Jade, even with her enhanced hearing. She only managed to catch broken sentences from the conversation.

"My patience is at its maximum end, ... something or I will...won't like it I do something. ....wouldn't like it when I do,..... been holding back because of you. It's been...long since I've been waiting." The person said.

"...." The person on the other end replied, but Jade couldn't make out their words, because they were speaking too lowly for her to comprehend from this distance.

"How dare-" before the person could finish their sentence, the person on the other end had hung up already, making the person angry and curse out.

As she hears the approaching footsteps, Jade instantly grabs a random book, opening it up to some page, making herself seem like she was engulfed in her reading and was not eavesdropping on the conversation the person they just had. The footsteps stop when they reach where she stood, and a voice breaks the silence.

"Jade?" They call out in question. Jade lifts her face, her eyes meeting Adeena's brown ones. Somehow Jade wasn't shocked to discover that the person she was eavesdropping on was Adeena.

"Hey," Jade says in reply, acting surprised to see her. "What are you doing here?" Jade asks feigning curiosity.

Adeena stares at her in slight shock and suspicion. Possibly wondering if Jade heard any part of her conversation, finally deciding that Jade hadn't, a fake smile takes up her face.

"I was just here checking for some books related to a medical case we've had in the pack infirmary." The lies comes out almost quickly, if she hadn't caught Adeena's suspicious behaviour earlier she would've bought the lie and wouldn't have thought twice about it.

"What were you doing here?" Adeena asks her the same question. In reply, Jade just shows her the book about mythical creatures she was surfing through, at which Adeena just nods her head.
