Chapter 7: five
She hears screams all around her, she could smell the metallic scent of blood thick in the air. Chills run
up and down her whole body, she tentatively takes a small step forward only to halt in her steps when
her feet unknowingly steps on a solid but firm thing. Is that..is that a hand? She slowly crouches down
and bring her trembling hands forward...only to come in contact with a person's face, she screams as
she realises that it's a dead body.
She startles awake from her sleep, sitting upright on her bed, as she takes deep breaths in, she could NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
feel a thin layer of sweat on her forehead and wetness present on the side of her eyes.
She realises that it was just a nightmare and that it was not real, but it sure felt like it, she felt scared of
what nightmare she would have again if she slept so decides to walk around, it sounded stupid as it is
the middle of the night but at a time like this she would do anything to forget about that day.
feeling her hands around the nightstand she tries to locate her water bottle but she comes up empty,
sighing in annoyance remembering that she had forgot to take it with her after filling it up in the kitchen.
Standing up from her seated position, she decides to pick it up from the kitchen since her throat felt like
a sandpaper.
As she reaches the kitchen, she quickly locates her water bottle. Picking it up almost immediately, she
unscrew the cap and brings it up to her lips. Since she was in a hurry to quench her thirst she failed to
notice a presence behind her until their front was completely pressed upto her behind, making her
completely aware of their presence.
Hands circle around her waist in a tighthold, but not enough to crush her. She's immediately engulfed
with the scent of vanilla and immediately realise who it is. why does it has to be always him?.
Adryan couldn't sleep when all he could hear were was her fast heart beats, he could hear her move
around in her room. His curiosity rose when he heard her leave her room. What was she going to do so
late at night?!
"You shouldn't be out here alone at night,
la mia gemma" his husky voice sounds near her ear, she could feel his heavy breathing on the back of
her neck which made goosebumps to form on her body, standing straight with anticipation.
"Why? It's not like a beast resides here" she couldn't resist asking him the reason behind his words.
what is going to happen if she comes down at this time of the night? It's not like she was outside the
pack house or out in the wild or anything. (Translation: my gem)
Trailing a hand up her sides slowly making a shiver to run down her spine, he moves the strands of hair
away from her shoulder, she feels the cold air hit the side of her bare neck. making her heartbeat rise in
anticipation and excitement.
She feels a soft feathery touch on her neck almost making her moan outloud, he just kissed her on her
most sensitive spot. The skin between her neck and shoulder, where his mark should've been. His lips
felt so soft on her skin making her wish that she could feel them on her lips.
One of his hands trails down towards her bare thighs, she had decided to wear a baggy t-shirt and
cotton shorts on, which barely covered her legs but the t-shirt did it's work.
Now though, she regretted not wearing a sweatpant. She could feel herself getting excited, she has
never felt something like this her whole life. His hands slowly rub themselves softy on her skin, making
her sigh is pleasure and lean her head on his shoulder.
"Maybe the beast does reside inside, you never know" he whispers near her ear, once again being
successful in sending a shiver down her spine.

She spend most of the day holed up in her room, doing nothing. If she wasn't doing anything then her
mind would wander back to her interaction with Adryan, which is something she didn't want if she
wanted her sanity to stay intact.
She was going out of her mind due to boredom. So she decided that should help the omega's with
preparing the lunch for the pack, since she loved cooking and had already learned every nook and
cranny of the pack house with Violet's guidance ofcourse, she could easily manuever her way through
the kitchen.
She leaves her bedroom and takes cautious steps while moving down the staircase, the last thing she
wanted to do is break a leg or her spinal cord.
She sighs in pleasure when she smelt the aroma of all the spices in the air, and she knew that was in
the right place, the pack kitchen. She slowly moves towards the direction from where the aroma was
coming, she could feel a presence infront of her, she immediately switches her eyes to that of her
wolf's. Even herwolf's eyesight wasn't clear, it was hazy. She could make out the outline of certain
objects and the color of it, which mostly appears blurred to her.
She never used her wolf's eyes much before, since she didn't want to rely on her wolf all her life and
she has been also told by her parents that her eyes glowed green whenever she used her wolf's vision.
She could feel the power surging through her as she used her wolf's eye, she finds a girl who seemed
like she looked about the age of nineteen, with brunette hair and blue eyes. She switches her vision
back to normal within a timespan of few seconds.
She slowly moves towards the brunette haired girl, hoping she would assist her on what she could help
them with.
"Umm...hi, my name is Jade. I was wondering if I could help you guys with cooking the lunch for the
pack members today?" She asks her hesitantly waiting for the brunettes reply.
"Oh, hey there Jade! I'm Malia and you must be the ro-" Malia clears her throat in between her
words,"Alpha's guest he talked about the other day about that at the meeting. I really don't want to
trouble you with the work, and we're almost finished with the main course-" Malia says.
"Perfect, then I can help you with the Dessert?" Jade instantly says interrupting Malia's nervous rant
with a hopeful tone of voice.
"I- but the Al, I- um.." Malia sounded like she was conflicted and Jade almost lost hope, but she might
have seen the crestfallen look on Jade's face causing her to immediately switches her answer.
"SURE" She chokes out and Jadr instanlty hugs her in happiness.
"Thankyou so much Malia" Jade smiles at her.
"Geez, don't ever show me that face again. I felt like I kicked a cute little puppy which sounds like it
would hurt me more than the puppy itself." She says which causes Jade to laugh at her choice of
words.
Jade takes a few step towards the side only to collide with another body, a familiar flowery scent
invades her nostrils.
She need to stop walking into others literally, she think to myself.
"Watch where you're going you blind bitch"
A voice snaps at Jade.
