Alpha Adryan

Fuck’ Adryan thought as he remembered that he had never told Jade about the next day's events for which he had preparing for the past two days.

"Good luck with that, Alpha” with that said, Violet takes her departure. Jade had been hauled up in Adryan’s house for the past two days, she hadn't gotten around to going out yet because she was skittish going out and facing the pack members alone, all on her own, Violet seemed busy with her beta female duties but visited once a day to check in. She had resorted to cleaning the house, baking and taking care of a very fussy Adonis. She hadn't seen much of Adryan too after their pack tour her first day, when she asked Violet about it, who gave her a sly smile in reply but said that he was busy preparing for something which was supposed to happen soon.

Jade has found solitude in the outdoor balcony Adryan's house had. The balcony was made up of wood, like the rest of the house. This part of the balcony had a feminine touch to it, with small plant pots here and there, with flower. She wondered if it was Adryan's idea or maybe someone else's. like Adeena?, Jade immediately shakes her head, no, she wasn't going to go there yet now that the thought had entered her mind, she was curious.

The wooden railings out looked the forest, there were lamp shaped lights strung up, with wooden chairs with a tiny wooden table in the middle giving it a cozy touch. Jade would sometimes spot wolves running through the forest below at night, but she mostly loved the feeling of cold air against her skin, caressing her with its gentleness. Sometimes she would even bring Adonis outside.

Today she sat on one of the wooden chairs reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen which had caught her attention when she entered into Adryan's own personal library, growing up Jade had heard many people talk about the book, but being blind she didn't ever get the chance to read it until now. Adonis was sitting on the blanket Jade had spread out for him, his toys seemingly more interesting than anything.

Adryan closed the door to his office, he inhaled and tried to catch the scent of strawberries, and he was successful when he found the lingering scent of strawberries coming from his right, following the scent he came across the outdoor balcony, his favorite spot in the entire house.

Through the glass door, he could see Jade's complete attention fixed on the book she held in her hands, her hair danced around in the air as the wind blew, causing her to tuck a few stray pieces of hair behind her ear. Adryan's eyes moved towards the tiny figure, who seemed to be enjoying himself as he played with his car and airplanes.

Knowing that he didn't have much time to rely on the message, he takes careful strides towards the balcony, being careful not to alert Jade or startle her.

It seemed like she was lost in a world of her own as she read the book, since she hadn't noticed his presence, but someone else had. Adonis stared up at Adryan, his toys long forgotten, his next actions shocking Adryan immediately.

Adonis crawls on all his fours towards Adryan's direction, his tiny fists holding onto Adryan's legs as his blue-green eyes stare up at Adryan's ocean blue ones.

"Up" he says demanding Adryan to pick him up, startling Adryan further with his actions. Adryan just stares at him, dumbfounded.

"Are you going to stare at him all day long or are you going to pick up?" A voice interrupts his internal battle, Adryan turns his head to see Jade standing beside the wooden chair she was sitting in, she might have heard Adonis’ voice, causing her to discard off her book.

When Adryan still doesn't do anything, Jade herself walks up to where he and Adonis were, she picks up Adonis herself, who immediately squeals at her actions.

"You know, I don't know why you dragged me back here, to your pack when you were going to do was leave us in the house, you never tried to get to know your son, and now when he’s asking you to hold him, you stare at him like he's an alien of some sort." Jade says at Adryan, who now seems to come out of the trance he was earlier in.

"I-" he stutters causing Jade to raise her eyebrows, clearing his throat he speaks again, "I have never held uhh, a child" Adryan says and looks away immediately, Jade's eyes widen in realization at his words, now his earlier actions making sense to her.

"Oh" Jade says dumbfounded not knowing how to reply, after a few seconds of thinking she speaks up again, "I could show you?!" Jade offers.

"Yeah, that would be great!” Adryan says immediately, causing Jade to lightly smile at his enthusiasm.

"Here" she says, turning Adonis in her arms so that his front was facing towards Adryan, "outstretch your arms a bit" Jade guides him, as he follows her directions, "now place both of your hands under his arms, so that you are holding his sides. Do it gently, you don't have to hold him too tightly where you squeeze him". Adryan finally holds Adonis in his hands, who stares up at him in wonder.

"There" she backs up.

Adryan stares at Adonis who leans his head on Adryan's shoulder, the actions caused a warm feeling inside him, Jade smiled as she watched the pair. Backing away, she turns to walk back to her earlier position on the wooden chair, only to be stopped by Adryan.

"Wait" Adryan says.

"Yeah?" Jade asks questioningly

"There is an event being held tomorrow" Jade tilts her head to the side, not knowing where this was going "I wanted to introduce you both to the pack members officially, so there would be a pack initiation held tomorrow at eleven at the training grounds..." Adryan trails off, wanting to know her answer.

Jade stares at him for a few moments, she knows that this was to happen some day, since Adonis was supposed to be the future Alpha, he would have to be initiated into the pack officially since he wasn't technically born within the pack grounds, all members born outside the pack house to be officially initiated to the pack, be accepted by the Alpha of the pack. Since she wasn't born in The Blood Moon Pack, Jade would to have to get initiated. She wanted to be where her son was, even if it meant being an official part of the pack.

"We will be there at eleven” she says, her response shocking Adryan, he was prepared for her to argue back but her compliance shocked him. "Is that it?" she asks him, "yeah" he answers back.

"Jade" she looks back at him over her shoulder.

"Wear something white.” she smiles back at him in reply, causing his heart to skip a beat.
