Alpha Adryan

Chapter 22: twenty

Author's Note : I would be gone for a month. I usually stay busy with online class and exams,

assignments etc. It's just a bit stressful for me and I wanted to take a small break. I hope you

understand.

A pained groan leaves his lips as he sits up. He looks around finding himself in the middle of the forest,

near the border of the pack. Confusion fills his mind when he couldn't remember how he ended up here

of all places.

He finds a few of his warriors a few distance away from him, the ones who were in charge of night

patrol unconscious or just waking up and looking around them cluelessly. Clearly confused how they

ended up almost at the edge of the forest.

He could feel his wolf, trying to communicate with him.

"What is it?" Adryan questions.

"Mate" Vince whimpers in his mind.

"Jade" her name a whisper. It was like he was suddenly struck with an onslaught of memories. Him in

his office. Catching her scent. Her trying to run away. Him chasing after her.

That is all he could remember. His memories were hazy, like a series of blurred images. He started to

panic. Where was she?!.

He quickly stands up, going behind on of the trees and wearing the shorts he founds tucked into the

bushes near by. His pack kept cloths around the forest, so whoever needed it could use it to cover

themselves after shifting into their human form after a run.

Adryan looks around him, he could catch her faint scent which stopped at the border of his pack. He

seemed to quickly realize what had happened. She had manage to escape. She ran away. From him.

It pained him to say it, and even think about it.

Anger builds up inside him but mostly sadness, and remorse.

He hadn't felt so many emotions in a very long time, in fact years.

In between all this his wolf's constant whimpers weren't helping his case either.

"What is it?" He snaps at Vince. Trying to get through his wolf through the common link they shared.

"I can't tell you" he whimpers.

"What do you mean you can't tell me?!" Adryan asks "Do you know something I should know about?!"

Adryan had a feeling that his wolf knew something, but his wolf wouldn't say what it was for whatever

the reason was.

"Tell me" he insists.

"She wouldn't want us to" Vince whispers, sadness lacing his voice.

Vince retreats back into Adryan's mind, causing him to panic. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Vince! Vince".

His wolf's silence was all he got in return.

A roar leaves Adryan's lips, his chest aching. Startling the still in distress warriors who just woke up

from whatever spell they were under. His roar shook the forest floor, birds fly out of the trees startled as

well.

He punches a nearby tree, snapping it into two in one go.

She can run as much as she want now. But he wasn't one to give up so easily. He was going to find her

no matter whatever it took. No matter how long, he would find her.

"I'm going to find you, Jade. It's only a matter of time." He whispers.

Jade has been running in her wolf form for almost seven hours now, it was a miracle that she hadn't

collapsed face first into the forest floor with exertion.

She was almost at the place Violet had asked her to stop and wait for her Aunt. Who would be waiting

for Jade in a black car near the edge of the forest.

Kira, Jade's wolf was cautious while manuvering her way through the forest, it was clear to her that Kira

knew about Jade's pregnancy way before her.

Kira comes to a stop at the edge of the forest, she looks around for the car or a woman. She couldn't

shift into her human side since she couldn't see, it was a blessing that she could in her wolf form,

thanks to her werewolf eyesight.

She'd have to spot the car and then shift.

Suddenly she could pick up the rumble of a car headed her way. She watched as a black car parked

itself at the edge of the forest, a few meter away from where she herself stood in her wolf form.

. A woman, probably in her late forties got out of the car. She had dark brunette hair like Violet but blue

eyes instead of Violets's dark green eyes. She could spot the familiarities among them. This woman

had a calm aura around her which put Kira at ease.

Kira stepped out of the forest, and she could hear the woman let out an audible gasp at spotting her

black wolf with white highlights. It was unusual for wolves to have two colours on their fur. Werewolves

were only seen to be in one colour as a whole but here she was, a mixture of midnight black and

white.

Well, she was a Hybrid too. Which was also said to be extinct nowadays. So, Jade wasn't a normal

werewolf in that sense.

Kira takes no time in shifting back into her human form. Jade felt relieved to be back. She had not been

in her wolf form for this long. It was refreshing. Feeling the wind whip her fur around but it was

exhausting too and her being pregnant didn't help that factor at all.

Jade immediately takes out the clothes from the duffle bag she had been carrying in her wolf form

clamped between her jaw.

After getting dressed, she walks towards where she remembered the woman stood.

"Hi, I'm Jade" Jade speaks up, unsure of herself.

"Hi Dear, my name is Scarlett Harvey, I'm Violet's aunt". Scarlett was a sweet woman even now she

oozed warmth and kindness which made Jade and Kira relax.

Her wolf senses never betrayed her.

"I hope I'm not disturbing your life by coming here, Mrs Harvey —" Jade starts to say but gets cut off by

Scarlett scoffing playfully.

"Honey, please call me Scarlett, Mrs Harvey makes me sound old and besides now you are family."

This causes Jade to smile at her words, family. She tried not to think about her parents and pack much,

it just bought a load of nightmares along and Jade had enough on her plate at the moment.

"Thankyou, Mrs — Scarlett" corrects herself at the last moment causing Scarlett to chuckle.

"Oh, please don't be so formal with me. And oh, let me take those bags, you might be tired". Scarlett

takes the duffel bag from Jade, surprising her since she didn't have time to react.

"No, I can handle it" Jade tries to say but Scarlett has already opened the back of her car stuffing the

bag inside.

"Come on, it's about an hour drive. You can sleep in the car" Scarlett says.

Scarlett helps Jade into the passenger seat and gets herself into the driver seat. Jade could feel the

ignition of the car turn on with a rumble.

Her side of the window was rolled down, letting the wind whip her hair and face as the car drove

forward.

"I'm going to find you, Jade. It's only a matter of time."

She lets put a gasp startled, it was just a mere whispers but she was able to understand the words. Her

body tenses in realization. They had started a bond when they mated. The first stage of marking ones

mate.

She was sure it was him. It was Adryan's voice she had heard in her head.

"What happened?" Scarlett asks, managing to catch Jade's change in demeanor.

"Nothing. It's nothing".
