Alpha Adryan

"There you go" Violet finally speaks up. Jade had asked for Violet's helpfor getting ready for her date with Nate since Jade never had to getready for an occasion like this before in her life.

Violet was hesitant and worried at first to help Jade, she didn't knowwhat her Alpha would do when he came to know about his mate goingout on a date with another man. Surely, he'll be livid. No one wanted tosee Adryan angry, he was a whole different person when his wolf tookcontrol. Their pack hadn't been labeled the strongest pack in the worldwithout a reason.

Violet had picked out a maroon colored wrap dress for Jade. She didn'twant to go overboard and dress Jade in something she wasn'tcomfortable wearing. She brushed Jades long strawberry blonde hair,leaving it open. She had painted Jade's lip a light pink with a bit ofmascara and she was done. Jade was a natural beauty so she didn'tneed to cake her face.

"How do I look?" Jade asks Violet nervously, her nerves getting the bestof her at the last moment.

"Oh hush, you look beautiful just like you do every single day" Violet'swords helped ease her nerves, she felt reassured.

A slight knock reverberates around the room, catching both of theirattention.

"Seems like your prince charming is here." Violet speaks up with ateasing smile which cause a slight blush to appear on Jade's cheeks.Violet opens the door to reveal Nate, who kept shifting his weight fromone leg to another in nervousness. He'd been really looking forwardtowards this date. He had a bouquet of white lillies in his hands.

Jade comes to stand beside Violet causing Nate's eyes to widen as hetook her in. She looked beautiful with her hair down and in a dress withher makeup done naturally.

Bringing the bouquet of lillies forward, he places them in her hands.Jade was shocked at first feeling something being handed to her,feeling her hands around the thing she realises that it was just a boquetof flower. Her heart warms at Nate's sweet gesture.

"Thankyou" she thanks him, tucking a loose strand behind her ear. Hesmiles back at her.

"No worries, shall we?" his voice seemed to be more relaxed.

"Wait, I'll put the flowers in a vase for you and keep it in your room. Ifthat's okay with you Jade? Violet suddenly questions Jade, causing herto nod her head and thank Violet.

Nate wraps a hand around Jades shoulder causing her to stiffen for asecond and relax after a few moments, Jade wasn't used to physicalaffection much which made her apprehensive of them.

He guides Jade till they exited the pack house, even though Jade knewher way around, he wanted to be sure that she didn't get hurt on hiswatch. Something about Jade drew him towards her.

He couldn't help his emotions, no matter how many times he toldhimself that she wasn't his mate and that one day he was going to replaceher but he didn't want to think about that now. He'd been searching forhis mate for the past three years, only to come up empty handedmaking his hope to deflate as the years passed by.

He guides Jade into the his car that was parked outside the pack house.Opening the doors for her, he makes sure that she doesn't bumps herhead anywhere and seats her in the passenger seat, closing the doorafter rechecking if she was seated comfortably. She thanks him forhelping her.

Getting into the driver's seat himself, he starts the car driving towardsthe destination he had picked up for their date.

"Are you excited?" He asks Jade as he drives.

"Yes" Jade replies shyly.

"Good, cause I'm too" he replies, grinning at her sideways whilekeeping his eyes on the road

"Where are we going?" Jade suddenly questions him, realising that shedidn't know where they were going.

"We are going to a small cozy diner named Russo's, owned by one ofthe pack members. Is that okay with you?" He asks her, occasionallyglancing at her.

"Perfect" she replies back with a small smile.

They sat in a comfortable silence after that, just enjoying the quietnessof the night.

Upon arriving at the diner, Nate had opened Jade's side of the doorand guided her inside Russo's like the true gentleman he was.

He had guided her towards one of the tables at the corner of the diner,near the windows. Helping her into her seat and finally seating himselfdirectly across from her.

"Hi, I'm Roxi. I'll be your waitress for the evening.” A raven haired girl,with brown eyes approaches their table, introducing herself as theirwaitress for the night.

Both Jade and Nate had both settled on a classic cheese burger anddiet coke as their meal.

Jade was enjoying herself, Nate had been a gentleman throughout thedate. He made her laugh with his silly and goofy jokes. He'd neverfailed to compliment her throughout the date. Honestly speaking, shecouldn't remember the the last time she'd laughed and enjoyed herselflike she was doing at the moment.

Adryan could feel himself get more angrier by the minute, he couldn'tget the thought of her going out on a date with another male out of hismind. His wolf didn't help the situation at all. He could feel his eyesswitching colors between his wolves and his whiskey colored ones as hefought for dominance.

He was feeling extra fidgety as he continued pacing his room waitingfor her to come back from her so called date so he could show her whoshe actually belonged to. His fists kept clenching and unclenching inanger.

Adryan's wolf has always been different that most wolves. He wasextremely dominant and Vince wasn't one up for sharing especially hisbeloved mate.

Feeling more agitated, he decides to go out for a run to blow out somesteam before he approached her, he didn't want to scare her morethan she was already of him.

Vince felt himself at ease as he ran through the dark forest. Dodgingthe fallen trees and rocks as he ran. The cold air whipping his midnightblack fur around. He could feel himself relax. This was something hewas familiar with. The rush he got while running in his wolf form. Hepushes himself to run faster, the muscles on his limbs flexing in tensionas he ran.

Finally arriving at his spot, which was just a cliff at the edge of the forestleading to the water body below it, spread vast.

Puffs of air releasing out of his snout as he exhaled and inhaled thecold air. His huge wolf forms stood on top of the cliff, looking out atthe night sky as the stars twinkled and winked at him.
