Chapter eighteen
"Jade, pfftt" a voice calls out Jade's name, causing her to break her attention from the pot of sauce she was stirring, she was once again helping out the Omega's to prepare dinner for the pack.
The fresh scent of apples enter her nostril, letting her know that Violet was getting closer.
Turning towards where Jade could feel Violet's presence, she asks "what is it?!"
Violet looks side to side, checking whether anyone was lingering around the kitchen, thankfully no one was around so she could freely talk to Jade about what she had been wanting to discuss.
"I've been wanting to talk about the escape plan. I've found out that Adryan has been busy with some pack treaties and business. So it makes it easier for you to escape during the night." Violet whispers, still cautious.
She doesn't want anyone to eavesdrop on their conversation and ending up snitching about their plans to Adryan, who would definitely be livid.
Jade's eyebrows shot up in shock. She hadn't thought she would be able to get out so quickly. She'd thought it would atleast take Violet a month to figure out things.
Jade worried that if she stayed any longer, Adryan would be able to tell the difference in her scent. She also felt that she had started showing a bit but wasn't sure since she couldn't see.
Werewolves developed faster than humans, so does the fetus. Werewolf pregnancies lasted six months at most.
"What is the plan? How am I going to make it out"? Jade asks confused, it all would go to waste if she got caught, and if she did not only would it be a problem for her but also for Violet for breaking the Alpha's trust and a pack rule by helping Jade escape with their future Alpha / heir. "I've a plan, I've been keeping an eye out at the pack security at the night time and I managed to find out a few thing. Don't worry, I'm going to get you out by tonight.” Violet replies reassuringly.
"What time?"
"I will come pick you up at 12:30 at night, be ready and pack your belongings by then, okay?" Violet questions.
Jade nods her head in reply.
A few hours later
"Jade" a voice whispers causing Jade's head to snap towards the voice. "Violet?!" Jade questions.
"Yeah, come on. It's time" Jade stands up from her seated position on her bed. She picks up the duffel bag, which Violet had given to her earlier in the day. It had most of her belongings, atleast what Violet had brought her in the mall.
Violet also lend her some money, which Jade declined but Violet was adamant on Jade taking it. Saying that it was the least she could do for her nephew/niece. Hearing this made Jade guilty, Violet wasn't going to be there when she was to give birth. She hated doing this, but it had to be done. She didn't think she could stay any longer.
Jade had thought long and hard about it, many a times she had thought about staying and telling Adryan the truth but something in her just wouldn't agree with that part of her conscience. In the end, she decided to leave.
She knew for a fact that she would come back in the future, she couldn't keep the child away from his/her rightful place for long. It was just a feeling she had. Her story with Adryan wasn't finished...yet.
"We need to be quiet” both of them walk down the hallway, her mind wanders back to Adryan, worrying if he was in her room. Jade was shocked when she had found out that Adryan and Jade's room was close. Her room was in one corner while his was in another corner of the Hallway. She never had a reason to go there.
"Where is Adryan?” Jade asked worried. Both of them careful not to make any noise and alert the other asleep pack members.
"Don't worry, he's in his office which is on the other side of. Next to the pack house. He's busy with his Alpha duties. He probably wouldn't notice that you are missing...for now.” That didn’t reassure Jade at all. What If he picks upon her scent or if one the guards saw them?!
Violet smirked. She might've slipped a bit of sleeping pill into Adryan's water. Hopefully he will take it.
Violet asks Jade to stay behind her as the both of them reach outside. Violet looks from her left to right, seeing no one out, even the guards she turns back to Jade.
“Jade. It's about 12:30 am now. The guards are on a break from 12:30 am to 12:45 am. That gives you fifteen minutes to escape, shift into your wolf when you reach the pack border. Mask your scent and keep running south, five hours into the run, it will lead you to the main highways and it would lead you towards a human town. My aunt lives there, so you don't have to worry about the living arrangements. I've told her everything and got it covered.” Violets words make Jade emotional.
Honestly, she didn't know what she did to deserve such a great and helpful friend like Violet. She will forever be thankful to Violet.
Jade pulls Violet into a warm hug, Violet was shocked at first but eventually hugs her back.
"Thankyou so much Violet, for everything. I'm going to miss you so much.” Jade whispers, voice thick with emotion. Probably her pregnancy hormones.
The both pull back from the hug.
"Hey, don't get emotional now. Also, take care of yourself and the young one" placing a hand on Jade's stomach, which already had a small bump growing, only noticeable if you look really closely. "And, don't forget to tell him / her about their awesome aunt Violet" Violet says playfully causing Jade to let out a small laugh.
“I'll be sure to tell him/her about you." Jade says causing Violet to smile sadly.
"Go" Violet moves Jade forward a bit, letting her know that it was time. "By—" Jade starts but Violet cuts her off.
"No, don't say that. This isn't goodbye Jade. This is just the beginning of everything. I'll meet you again someday Jade." Violet says with unshed tears glistening in her eyes.
This didn't feel like a goodbye. She knew someday she will meet Jade again.
"I will see you again Violet, someday" with that Jade leaves.
Violet watches as Jade's forms disappears into the darkness.
