Chapter fifty
"How did you know?..." she trails off, her voice meek, she refused to meet his eyes. She could feel him getting up from his office chair, placing Adonis on the chair, she feels him get closer with how her body started to react to his closeness, warmth spreading to every part of her body as if someone had lit fire to her body.
She feels his breath hitting the hairs on her head, she goes to take a step back but his hand on her elbows restricts her movement.
"Look at me" he commands, and she curses internally. He was aware of the fact that she wouldn't meet his eyes willingly, the only way she would do so as if he commanded her in his Alpha voice and that's exactly what he did.
She looks up, emerald green eyes clashing with ocean blues. Adryan bends a bit so that his face was level with hers. His closeness sent her heart into overdrive, their closeness affected him too in ways he couldn't describe, if she wasn't so focused on their closeness she could have heard the way his heart was beating just as fast as hers was, in tune with each other.
"Or you could just erase their memories.” he whispers but she heard him clearly, "Just like you erased mine three years ago." her eyes widened in shock, and his eyes twinkled with an emotion. Amusement; she realized. He was amused while she was sweating bullets.
"How do you remember?" she asks, she couldn't wrap her head around the fact that despite her erasing his memories, he somehow seemed to remember.
"I remembered after I transformed into a Lycan, the memory just rushed through me out of nowhere, I remember your eyes glowing an emerald green. The only thing I didn't remember about that day was about you being pregnant, for some reason my wolf-" Adryan stops mid sentence, as if thinking about something, "my Lycan side kept that piece of information from me." his words take her back to events of that night, how his eyes glowed blue when he realized that she was pregnant. "You aren't mad that your Lycan side hid it from you?" she asked him. He seemed to think about her question.
"I was, initially. But I got over it after some time." he shrugs his shoulder.
Adryan lifts his hand to her face, his fingers tucking a rogue piece of her hair behind her ears, causing the temperature of her body to rise further; if that was even possible.
"I never got the chance to erase the memory of the guards.” Jade whispers when the thought strikes her.
"You don't have to worry about that." he says with confidence causing her brows to furrow with confusion.
"Why not?" she asks, a bit of panic in her voice.
"I took care of it." when he sees the confusion on her face he continues, "A witch had a favor to return, I took the opportunity to my advantage.” "Why?" her green eyes taking in his blue eyes.
"I figured you didn't want the pack to know about you being a hybrid." she doesn't deny his words because he was right, only a handful of people knew about her being a hybrid, and most of them are dead now, the thought of which makes her feel like there was a lump in her throat. She never let herself think about the past much, because it would only cause her more pain in the process
Adryan takes a step back, catching Jade's attention, when she thought he was a going back to work, he takes something out from his pant pockets.
A glint of silver catches her eyes, she takes in the pendant that seemed to hang from the delicate silver chain. It had a crescent, which had intricate designs on it, it held a white iridescent stone between the curve of the moon.

When Adryan brings the necklace toward her, she moves back with wide eyes.
Adryan lets out an amused chuckle at her actions causing her eyes to shift from silver necklace to his. The sound that left his lips felt foreign to her. She'd never heard Adryan laugh none the less chuckling, it was sad in a way because it felt like she'd only know his serious work mode or angry side so far.
"Relax, It's not silver. It might look like it but it's actually platinum.”
His words make her relax, "Oh" she says stupidly. Since silver burns a werewolf's skin, she was taken aback when her eyes caught sight of the silver component of the necklace.
He moves closer to her, stepping behind her, making her cautious of his warm body behind her, she's aware of his actions, the surprising soft touch of his fingers move her hair to one side, she helps hold back the hair, exposing her neck, she feels the coolness from the chain against her warm body, as he slides it on her neck, the crescent pendant with the white iridescent colored stone coming to rest between the valley of her breast.
"What stone is this?" she inquires, running her fingers through the pendant and feeling the stone, which buzzed slightly under her fingers. She understood it was magic. The stone contained magical properties. He responds, "Moonstone." Coming to a halt in front of her, taking in the dainty chain with the pendant dangling from her neck.
Beautiful, he thinks.
"Moonstone has relaxing effects and will aid in emotional balance.” She realised now why he had given her the necklace with that particular stone. He seemed to be aware that her abilities were taking their toll on her, putting her mind into overdrive as a result of her abilities, which had an effect on her body.
"Thankyou" she lifts her head to meet his eyes, to find them already trained on her. Her words genuine.
For a few seconds, he appears surprised by her remarks, but his features quickly return back to normal, but Jade didn't miss how his ocean blue eyes seemed to shine with joy.
