Alpha Adryan
forty two

A sudden crash noise from downstairs manages to wake Jade from hersleep immediately. Turning to her right, she replaces Adonis sleepingbeside her peacefully. Last she checked, before she went to sleep,Adryan was still in the pack house working, so the sudden noise madeJade alert.

“Let's go and check it out ourselves,’ Kira's voice sounds inside herhead, making Jade jump in shock.

Placing a hand on her chest above her fast thumping heart, "God, youscared me Kira.” to which Kira just wags her tail side to side, urgingJade to go downstairs and check what made the noise.

Skeptically Jade decides to do so, just as she was about to open thedoor to her room, she spots something from her peripheral vision, thelight glinting off of its metal body. Turning, she replaces a metal baseballbat resting against the wall, her mind clouds with confusion on how itmanaged to get into her room without her knowledge, but then shevaguely remembered Violet placing it in her room, saying that it was for“protection’. At that time Jade had laughed and told her how she didn'tneed a bat for protection when she was a werewolf, she could shiftwhenever she wanted, but now it seemed to slightly ease her at thethought of having something to use as a weapon if some intruder wereto attack her.

Picking up the metal baseball bat, she tip-toes out of her room, carefulnot to make any noise, she masks her scent so that whatever waspresent downstairs wouldn't feel her coming.

She holds the baseball bat with both hands, raised in the air so that ifsomething decides to lunge or jump at her suddenly, she could swingat it right away, she was careful to be light on her footsteps, avoidingthe steps that might creek under her weight. As she reached the last ofthem, she heads towards the direction of the kitchen, she feltsomething was urging her towards that particular direction

As she entered the kitchen, her eyes skimmed over it, at first glance shedidn't notice anything different, everything was in its normal place, sheentered further into the kitchen, walking towards the kitchen island, acrunching noise was heard when she stepped on something, shecrouches to get a closer look, pieces of glass spread around where shestood, gleaming like diamonds. It seemed like the flower vase that wasplaced on the island somehow landed on the floor, smashing intopieces spilling water and the flowers it contained, which now totallydestroyed as a few of them laid in a deformed way like someone hadstormed all over it.

She decides to take care of the mess, careful not to hurt herself as shepicks up the glass pieces one by one, as she was doing so, she suddenlyhears the crunching of glasses as if someone was stepping on them,which causes her to halt in her actions immediately, slowly her headlifts, her eyes raising and meeting a pair of blood-red ones. She lets outa gasp in shock as she immediately discards the glass pieces she washolding and stands up, scrambling back in fright.

Furthermore, she backs up until her back comes in contact with a wall,she watched with wide eyes as the figure stepped forward, causing herbreath to hitch as the figure stepped into the part where a small streakof light streamed in through the window on the opposite wall, but itwas enough for her to recognize the huge figure. Before the darknessdid a good job in concealing his midnight black fur, but now as hestood so close to her, she was partly relieved. Her eyes took in hisframe, that was towering over her, his canines protruding out over hislips in a terrifying way, showing off the sharpness of it.

She doesn't know what compelled her to do what she did next, Jadereached her hand forward, placing it on his cheek . Her hands comingin contact with his soft fur. It was quite awkward since she had toextend her hand upwards as Adryan's Lycan form towered over her justlike he did in his human form since he was standing on his legs, not theway a dog or a werewolf normally does. Lycans especially had theability to walk like humans, his soft breaths hitting her hair.

He closes his eyes instantly as the spark spreads throughout both oftheir bodies upon the contact.

"Adryan” she calls him, her voice soft. Upon this, he immediately openshis eyes, blood-red eyes staring at her.

"Not Adryan." he speaks up, his voice way deep and guttural thanAdryan's was, startling Jade, causing her eyes to widen a fraction. Hisdeep voice sent shivers down her spine. Pointing a finger to his chest,he continues, "Vince".

Jade's eyes light up at his words, she understood his words perfectly."Vince" she says, watching in bewilderment as a guttural noise ofpleasure releases from his lips. He had wanted her to say his Lycan'sname.

Suddenly she heard the noise of bone cracking and she watches in aweas Adryan's Lycan side transforms into his human form, his fur sidechanging to his skin. She cringed at the sound of cracking and poppingof bones.

Adryan groans in pain as soon as he transforms, his hands replaceing thewall to support his body as he panted, his action had led him to cage inJade's body, her back pressed against the wall. Vincent was a stubbornmotherfucker. He gave Adryan a hard time during his transformation,Only a selected people knew this wasn't something he wantedeveryone to know, since it wasn't common for Alpha’s to have troublecontrolling their shifts. He didn't want anyone in the pack thinking thisas a weakness of his and get any stupid ideas

"What happened?” her question made him look at her.

"I-1, 1 have trouble controlling my Lycan side.” he says with greatdifficulty, he wasn't used to opening up to people or telling them abouthis trouble, but somehow saying it out loud to Jade lifted some kind ofweight off of him.

"Why?" he inhaled in a sharp breath at her question. He knew whyVince was giving him a hard time, it was something his lycan side gavehim hell for.

"He was against how I treated you when we first met" his eyes evadinghers, which he knew were staring at him.

Before she could reply to his words, the opening of the front door washeard, which made Adryan straighten. Adryan rushes to where hisclothes lay discarded, putting on his sweatpants quickly, he hurries outof the kitchen to check.

"Alpha" his beta and best friend, Brian, greets him as soon as hereaches the living room. Brian's face grim.

"What is it?" Adryan asks detecting that something has happened forBrian to just barge into his home, Brian knew well not to do so asAdryan liked his privacy.

Jade comes out of the kitchen as well, standing behind a shirtlessAdryan.

Brian's eyes move towards Jade for a second before meeting Adryan's."Say it" Adryan's voice impatient, he didn't care if Jade heard whateverBrian had to say.

Brian makes him wait for a second before opening his mouth again toreply.

"We found a dead body outside the pack territory” Brian's words makea muscle to tick on Adryan's jaw, Jade gasps lightly as she hears this.
