Alpha Adryan
fourteen

Jade could hear the excitement, she could hear them murmuring, thepacks all across the world mingling together. She could feel them moveabout all around her. She was even able to detect the heat of a fewstares directed at herself.

"Why are they staring at me?" Jade asks Violet, startling her. Violetlooks around them, indeed quite a few of them were staring at Jade, afew she wolves with jealousy or envy in their eyes, or males withcuriosity and lust portrayed on their faces.

"Maybe you're making all these woman jealous and look bad with yourethereal looks.” Jade's mouth drops open at Violet's words. She didn'tknow anyone would be envious of her, if only they knew the fact thatshe couldn't even see herself for that matter.

Violet guides Jade towards where the table were situated at one side ofthe ball room, were a few children, elders and mated couples wereenjoying their wine, dining or just talking with each other.

"Here. Take a seat” she helps Jade sit.

"Thankyou" Jade thanks Violet.

"No worries, you wouldn't mind if I have a dance with my mate wouldyou?!" Violets asks, making Jade shake her head in denial.

"No, go ahead. Enjoy." Jade says.

"Are you sure Jade?" Violet hesitates.

"No, now go." Jade shoo's Violet.

"Okay thanks, you're the best" Violet grins "and oh, I picked you up adrink, it's just orange juice if you're wondering”.

Jade thanks Violet for the drink. Violet finally leaves to replace her mate,not before promising Jade that she'd be back soon.

She sips on her drink while listening to everyone mingle, and have agood time. She didn't know anyone apart from Violet here that well."Do you have a name, or can I call you mine ?" Someone speaks upfrom infront of Jade, startling her for a second.

"Excuse me?" Her eyebrows draw together in confusion.

"Somebody better call God, because he's missing an angel" the voicespeaks up again. Jade blushes at his words. She couldn't figure out whythis random person was talking to her.

"Umm..can I help you?" Jade asks with confusion.

"Damn, no words have ever hurt me like yours just did.” The strangerspeaks up again this time with sadness lacing his words.

"You really are that naive huh? Here I am trying to hit on you and yousingle handedly crushed my heart into two pieces without even trying.God, what has my life come to.” The voice exclaims dramatically.

"I'm sorry” worry seeps into Jade's features thinking that she had hurtthis man's feeling.

"Well, you can make it up to me by joining me on the dance floor" thevoice says.

"I don't know how to dance" Jade felt bad for declining him, but shehad never ever danced once in her lifetime, unless she had a wish forbreaking her neck or spinal cord that is.

"Oh, come on" the person grabs Jade's hands, pulling her towards thedirection of the dance floor. Oddly enough, she felt comfortable in thistotal strangers presence. He radiated warmth unlike some people.

A slow song plays in the background, the stranger places one of hishands on her waist and the other one takes her hand in his as the bothsway side to side.

"Who are you?" Jade asks him out of curiosity, here she was dancingwith a stranger whose name she didn't even know in the first place."Ahhh, where are my manners. I'm Jacob Black, Alpha to The DeepShallow Pack.”

Jade's mouth drops open, now that she was aware about it she couldfeel the power he emitted, but it wasn't too intimidating unlikeAdryan’s.

The Deep Shallow Pack was one of the unproblematic pack out there,they liked their calm and peaceful nature, they didn't indulge in warsand petty fights over lands like other leaders.

Their pack was in that sense similar to The Evergreen Forest Pack, herold pack.

Jade could feel a lump forming in her throat at the thought of her oldpack. There were moments were her mind took back to memories ofthat night, almost like it wanted her to remember something but nomatter what, she couldn't put her hands on what it was really.

There was a motive behind why they attacked her pack, she knew thatmuch. She also feared that it was because of her, because of the secretshe had been hiding all her life. Why would a pack of rogues attacktheir pack otherwise?!

"Hello Earth to.." Jacob's voice brings her back to the present. She alsorealized that she hadn't told him her name yet.

"Jade. Jade Estrada.” She tells him.

Estrada. Jacob's mind runs wild at the last name. It sounded familiar. Hehad heard that name before.

"Your parents wouldn't be Dominic Estrada and Claire Estrada by anychance?" He asks suddenly.

Jade's eyebrows scrunch together with confusion, how did he know herparent's?.

"Yes...how do you know my parents?" She asks him with caution.

"Oh wow, small world" his eyes widen in surprise "it's really you, well toanswer your question my father and your father were friends back incollege and I've heard him speak about you and your family.” Heanswers.

Well Jade didn't know much people outside of her pack, people insidethe pack knew her because she was their Alpha's Daughter and thefuture Alpha.

Jade didn't socialize like normal wolves her age did, one because shewas anti-social and the second reason was that her being blindrestricted her from going out and having fun, besides her parents wereextremely over protective over her.

"Can I?" A voice interrupts their socializing. Adryan wanted to dancewith his mate, Vince kept nagging at the back of his mind like a damntape recorder.
