Alpha Adryan
thirty eight

"Shift back” Adryan says to Vince for what felt like the thousandth time, but the reply he got was unfortunately that of the numerous times he had asked the question or more like ordered.

“Not until she wakes up’ came his usual reply.

It's been five hours since everything went down and Jade had been unconscious all this while, Vince was getting worried and paranoid as she wasn't waking up, Hence the reason why he wasn't letting Adryan take back control and he wouldn't until she wakes up and he see's for himself that she was okay.

It was a task on Adryan's part to hold Vince back from taking full control of him, and from attacking the pack doctor and other pack members whenever they took a step in her direction. Vince would immediately growl at them like a rabid dog until they got the message and stepped back.

Thankfully, Blaine, the pack doctor had said that she was just in shock and it would take her some time to wake up.

Vince's huge hulking frame was resting beside the bed she laid on. Keeping watch and occasionally staring at her from time to time.

"Quit it" Adryan chides.

“Quit what?" Vince questions.

"Quit staring at her like an obsessed creep”

“She's our mate, and I can stare at her as much as I want, as long as I want to’ Vince snaps back. There were times when Adryan wanted to throttle Vince, because he was someone other than Jade, who always talked back and angered him, which is kind of funny because Vince is his other half, his wolf. So basically he was angering himself.

"Stupid Dog" Adryan says annoyed.

'Uptight Asshole’ Vince counters back.

"Mu-" before Adryan could insult his wolf back he hears the rustling of covers, his sharp ears immediately picking up the small noise. Vince sits upright on his front paws, hoping for her to wake up any minute.

It isn't until a full minute later, when Jade finally wakes up. Opening her eyes and realizing that she was in her room in Adryan's house.

She sits upright with a slight groan. She doesn't notice his presence until Vince decides to whine, causing her head whip so fast in his direction, he thought she might've twisted it."

Her eyes widen in horror as her green eyes catch his blood red ones. A gasp leaves her lips and she suddenly scrambles away from the bed in a hurry.

Vince watched as she ran towards the bedroom door, but in her panic she hadn't realized that she would have to twist the keys below the door knob to open it fully, instead of just twisting the knob. Adryan had done it on purpose because he knew the moment she laid eyes on him that she would run far away from him, he had decided to double lock the door, because in her panic she wouldn't think about twisting the keys.

When her attempts came up futile, she rushes towards the door that led to the balcony, only to realize that it was completely locked, she herself had done it so Adonis wouldn't slip away when she wasn't paying attention.

Jade had woken up confused but that immediately turned into fear when she spotted a pair of glowing red eyes staring back at her.

She leans her head on the wooden door, her shoulders slumping in defeat.

"It's okay" she tells herself, she didn't want to risk turning back and think about the other person in the room along with her. She had to keep herself from having a panic attack and remain calm.

“I can smell her fear. She's afraid of us.’ Vince says, rejection and sadness clear in his voice.

"You need to give me back control, Vince" Adonis says with seriousness. "But-" Vince starts to say but Adryan cuts him off.

"She's afraid of us. It's too much for her to take all at once. So, like Violet said, Slow baby steps" Vince contemplates for a few moments, If it wasn't for her soft breaths, he would've thought Jade was tattoo, for she wasn't moving an inch from her rested position on the door.

"Fine" Vince huffs, finally giving into Adryan’s request.

Adryan could feel his red eyes switch back to the usual ocean blue ones, his talons changing back to fingers, and finally Adryan felt like he was back in his body after a long time, and it was, since Adryan had never ever let Vince out for so long.

"Thank you" Adryan says with gratitude.

Her body tenses as soon as she feels his presence behind her. She could his hot breath on her neck.

"Jade" he calls out, Adryan had immediately noticed how she had tensed up the moment she felt his presence near her.

Hesitantly he places a hand on her shoulder, he felt her turn rigid at his touch.

"Jade, can you please turn back" he pleads. Her fear in a way cut some part of him. Only he knew how it felt when everyone in the pack looked at him with fear, not because he was their Alpha, but because they were scared for their own lives, worrying about the moment the mateless Alpha would loose his cool and kill one of them, and now here was his mate, who even refused to look at him, which made Adryan and Vince both feel hideous.

Jade slowly turns back, surprising Adryan. When fully turns to face him, Adryan notices that her eyes were squeezed shut.

Adryan leans his head on hers.

Both of their breaths mingling together, it was only now that they'd both noticed the tingles that spread throughout their body.

Adryan lifts a finger, and trails it down her face.

"You are a Lycan" she states, her scared self oddly calm under her touch.

"I'm" he confirms.

GE)

"How?" She asks him in confusion, because as far as she could remember, Adryan was a werewolf when she first met him three years ago, but the current situation was confusing her in many ways on how this could be possible.

"It's a bit complicated” he says. "Maybe I'll tell you some other time, when you're not trying to run away from me."

He opens his eyes to find emerald green eyes staring back at him. Both of their heads still leaned against each other.

He moves away her flyaway hairs, his actions causing her breath to stutter as she felt the tingles on her body. Jade closes her eyes at his soft touch.

Adryan moves back to look at her face, his eyes drinking in her features and being caught up in her beauty. He trails a finger on her lips. "Adryan?" Jade call out.

"Hmm" Adryan hmm's back in response, he felt himself inhale in her sweet and addictive scent.

"Could you please put on some pants. You're um...You're naked" Jade whispers the last words, her cheeks turning red toward the end.

Her words immediately capture his attention.

“Shit’ he thought. He was butt naked, his huge frame almost pressed against her short one.

"You better hide your goods, man’ Vince's voice chimes inside his head. "Now is not the time Vince" Adryan barely grits out, half embarrassed himself.

Adryan could feel himself turn a bit red. Just as he was about to move away, the door to the room twists open.

"Adryan, I need-" came a voice only to stop halfway through when they take in the scene before them.

Adeena felt slight anger and jealousy spread through her at the scene taking place in front of her eyes. Seeing Adryan and Jade so close to each other, literally pressed up against each other made her blood boil with rage but icing on the cake was that Adryan was butt naked.

Before Adeena could stare at his exposed self even more, Adryan had moved and placed Jade in front him so that now she was covering him, well not all of him since he was taller and bigger than her physically, but her position covered the parts which he wanted to cover from any prying eyes.

"Did you need anything Adeena?" Adryan questions.

Adeena doesn't reply to his words but her eyes move from Jade's to Adryan, back and forth for a few moments.

Jade still looked like a deer caught in headlights, with her eyes turning to the size of soccer balls as she realizes the awkward but compromising situation Adeena had found her and Adryan in.

"What is happening here?" Adeena asks with her eyes narrowed.
