Chapter 19: seventeen
Waking up to an empty bed after giving yourself to your mate wasn't how she pictured it to play out. But
yet there she was, as she woke up from her sleep she still felt exhausted after last night's events.
Her cheeks redden as she recollected the events of the previous night. She runs her hands along the
other side of the bed, hoping to find Adryan's warm body but only comes up empty, when she feels the
emptiness beside her where she was sure he had been yesterday.
The essence of their actions still lingered in the air around her room, she felt cheap and embarassed at
herself for throwing herself at him so pathetically. She felt used, and slowly the anger inside her started
to stir. She hated him for making her feeling these unknown emotions. She wished she could go back
and time and undo her actions from last night.
She smelt the metallic scent of blood. Lovering her hands to her nether regions she feels wetness
around her core and on the bedsheets she previously laid on. She sighs as her shoulders dropped with
exhaustion.

"Hello, Jade? Are you there?— Earth to Jade" Violets voice snaps Jade out of her thoughts.
"huh?" Jade asks with confusion. She didn't hear what Violet was talking about. Nowadays, all she
could think about was that night. No matter how hard she tried not to go back to those memories she
couldn't help herself.
Jade and Violet were sat in Jade's room talking about random things.
"Are you okay, Jade? You seem to be lost in a daze? —" Violet questions her. Worry seeping into her
voice as she looked at Jade. Something seemed to change within her for the past few weeks. Her
normal tan complexion looked pale now, with dark circles under her eyes.
"I'm okay Violet, it's just that I haven't been getting enough sleep —" the feeling of bile rising hits her,
she cups her mouth as her eyes widens. Running towards the direction of the bathroom, she empties
the content of her stomach into the toilet. She could feel Violet standing behind her, holding back
Jade's long hair away from her face.
She stands up on her feet after she was sure that she wouldn't feel like emptying the contents of her
stomach again. She rests her back onto the wall behind her.
For the past week, she had been vomiting for almost every morning and honestly speaking, she felt
tired and exhausted. Jade had been hauled up in her room ever since and the only person she ever
socialized with was Violet.
Violets brows furrow in confusion. She couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with Jade, untill a throught
entered her mind. Was she — was she pregnant?! Now that she thought about it, Jade's scent had
changed over the past few weeks. It was faint but if you were a werewolf of a higher rank you'd easily
picked upon the scent. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"Jade, by any chance could you be uh — pregnant?" Violets question made Jade still. Jade had
thought about the same a few times but she didn't want to believe it yet. She wasn't stupid to believe it
was some bug or food poisoning. She was a werewolf. Werewolves don't get sick easily, they have
strong immune system and Jade had never ever been sick before in her life.
"I – I don't, maybe" Jade replies back in a small voice.
"Did you have sex?!" Violet asks her making Jade's cheek turn red.
"Yes"
"Oh" Violets eyes widen with Jade's answer. She was sure it was Adryan. Jade didn't look like the type
to give herself to anyone other than her mate.
Violet guides Jade towards the sink, helps her wash and clean her mouth with some mouth wash. She
asks Jade to sit on the counter beside the sink while she went and picked up something.
"Where are you going?" Jade asks her with confusion.
"I'm going to pick up some pregnancy tests from the pack clinic, and don't worry I wouldn't tell a soul
about this" she adds after knowing what was circulating Jade's mind. After knowing each other for a
few months, Violet was able to pick up on certain things even without Jade having to voice it out.
Jade nods her head, thankful for Violet's help.
Jade waits for Violet to comeback, meanwhile her mind wanders back to the question that circled her
mind — what if she was actually pregnant? what was she supposed to do?!.
Her trail of thought come to a halt when she feels Violet entering the bathroom once again, only this
time with the pregnancy tests clutched in her hands.
"Here" Violet places the test in her Jade's hands. Explaining to her that she just has to pee on the stick
and wait for about three minutes for it to reveal the test results.
After doing as told, both of them wait for the results. Jade could feel herself get more nervous and
anxious as the time passed by. Silence filled the air around them as they waited for the results.
"I think it would be done by now" Violet says, breaking the silence. Jade couldn't help but play with her
fingers, a nervous habit of hers. She could feel her heart beating loudly in her ears as she waits for
Violet to speak.
Violet looks at the tests, that laid on the counter. She takes in a breath when she gets a glimpse of the
results. She had bought three of them since the results weren't necessarily hundred percent legit. her
eyes move towards the rest of the tests. She heaves a sigh.
All of them showed the same thing.
Positive.
"What does it say?" Jade asks her, nervousness lacing her voice.
"I- you're pregnant, Jade. All of the test says so." Violet replies.
Jade could feel her heart drop, tears brim her eyes when her mind comes up blank, she couldn't see a
future ahead of her. And on top of that, taking care of a child was out of the box.
"Hey" Violet shakes her shoulders, getting Jade to snap out of her trance.
"I-" she takes in a shaky breath in "What am I going to do? I can hardly look after myself how am I
going to look after a baby?" She couldn't still come to terms with the fact that she was really pregnant.
"We have to tell Adryan-" Violet starts to say only be stop speaking when she sees Jade shake her
head in a no wildly.
"No, No. You can't do that" Jade says, then her eyebrows scrunch in confusion "wait, why would we tell
him?" She asks Violet.
Violet's eyes widen at her slight slip up.
"Uh— Look, I know you and Adryan are mates. I've known about it from the day you've arrived." Violet
speaks the truth, there was no point in lying.
"What? No. That's not true" Jade tries denying causing Violet to roll her eyes at her words.
"Jade, I've a mate myself. Besides, I'm an observant person. I could tell you both were mates by how
you both acted around each other, also how Adryan gets pissed everytime he saw you with Nate was a
dead giveaway." Violet says, making Jade's mouth to drop open in shock.
"You can't tell him,Violet" Jade pleads. She didn't want to tell him. He might be the father of her child
but what was the guarantee that he wouldn't reject her child, even though he didn't reject her it was
clear that he wanted nothing to do with her.
"Why?, it's his child isn't it?" Violets asks with confusion. If Adryan knew about this, surely he can help
out with the situation.
"He doesn't even wants anything to do with me Violet. All he does is sleep around with her. What
makes you think that he'd want this child? Beside, I want to leave." Jade whispers the last sentence in
a small voice.
"NO. Are you out of your mind Jade?! You're carrying the heir to one of the most powerful Alpha of our
time, you can't just leave." Violet says incredously.
Jade shakes her head, she was adamant on leaving.
Violet was tormented. Jade had become her best friend and then there was Adryan, her Alpha.
She as a pack member and The Beta Female should inform her Alpha all necessary information she
gets regarding to things related to the pack. It was one of the rules. But, how was she supposed to hide
this? Hide the fact that he was soon going to be a father?
Violet sighs.
"Okay" pinching the bridge of her nose, she continues speaking "I will help you leave, but you should
not speak about this to anyone else, or about the fact that I'm helping you" Violet looks at Jade, who
now seems a bit relieved when she heard the part where Violet would help her escape without anyone
knowing, especially Adryan.
Jade nods her head in reply.
"Seems like we have an escape mission to plan".
