CHAPTER 17: FIFTEEN

"Can I?" A voice interrupts their socializing. Adryan wanted to dance with his mate, Vince kept nagging

at the back of his mind like a damn tap recorder.

Jacob Black wasn't a threat to them, the guy was unproblematic and liked his peace, besides Adryan

knew that Jacob wasn't after his mate like that bastard Connor was. His wolf didn't find Jacob as a

threat at all.

"Uh, yeah sure" Jacob moves away. He looks between Adryan, Alpha of The Blood Moon Pack and

Jade. His face immediately lits up with recognition. No one could deny the fact that they were mates by

the way Adryan was staring at Jade, who had gone tense upon Adryan's arrival in Jacob's hold.

Jacob places Jade's hand in Adryans. Smiling politely he moves away from the dance floor.

Adryan looks at Jade, who seemed to go tense in his presence. Placing his hands on her waist, he

pulls her closer. Their chests brush against each other causing tingles to spread through both of their Content is © by .

bodies, Jade gasps in shock. He never did anything like this in public, whatever had happened

between them until till now was behind close door.

"What are you doing-g?" She couldn't help but stutter out with shock lacing her voice.

"What do you think I'm doing? I'm dancing with my mate." He says nonchalantly, as if she should've

known it by now.

She remains silent, she didn't want to make a scene here especially infront of so many people.

He takes her free hand that was laying limp at her sides in his, placing them on his shoulder. He slowly

starts moving to the slow tempo of the music that continued playing in the background.

His gaze never left her face, he was enchanted by her looks. No matter of words could describe her

beauty to the world. She was the kind of person whose beauty should be seen in person rather than

scramble for words to describe it.

He suddenly dips her causing her breath to hitch at his sudden actions, both of his calloused rough

hands placed on her waist while both her hands come to rest on shoulder, gripping them tightly for

support.

she felt like if she let go of her hold on him she might end up on the floor.

Bringing her back up, he continues moving about with her in his arms.

His grip on her waist tightens, she feels herself being lifted into the air so that her face was aligned with

his, their breaths mingling together. Their nose brushing against each other. It was as if everything

around them was was a blur, it was just them two. Living in the moment.

Slowly bringing her back down onto the ground, he spins her around so that the hard plains of his chest

were pressed against her back.

His nose pressed against her hair that had come undone from its loose updo, flowing down her back

like a flawless curtain.

He inhales deeply then exhales, his breath fanning on her exposed neck, his actions make an

unfamiliar feeling to grow in the pit of her stomachs.

Her thighs clench together as an uncomfortable throbbing sensation rises between the junction of her

legs.

The unfamiliar feeling growing further as the time ticks by, she couldn't recognize what it was. She

could feel herself start getting hot and sweat a bit even though the air conditioner in the room was

working perfectly fine and it was mostly chilly during the night and even during the day in Forks.

Adryan stills, he could feel himself stiffen when he smells her tantalizing scent. It was more addicting

than normal. The sweet scent teasing his nostrils. The sparks he felt were otherworldly.

He could feel himself harden in his pants when he realises what was happening, She almost moans out

loud when she feels his lips brush against her neck sensually causing a jolt of heat to travel through her

core.

Violet looks around as she feels the sudden shift in the air. She immediately takes notice of how most

male wolves were looking at certain direction or a certain someone. Jade.

She was in Adryan's arms but that wasn't what was drawing all the attention towards them.

Upon sniffing the air around her, she could smell the sweet scent that happen to be coming from Jade's

direction. Violet's eyes widen in realization. It was something she herself had experienced countless

amount of times before.

Heat. Jade was experiencing her first heat.

Violet watched as almost all the males in the room sniff the air as their eyes slowly turned dark with

lust, only the un-mated ones since a female's heat didn't affect a mated male as much.

Heat affected all the unmated wolves, male wolves tend to get affected with the alluring sweet scent a

female used to exude during the time of the heat. It was irresistible. It was battle for control between

the man and his wild.

She could see a few males step towards the direction where Jade stood causing Adryan let out a

warning growl. He himself seemed barely hanging on by a thin thread of control, his eyes kept

switching to that of his wolves and his constantly.

Worry seeps into Violet as she took in the current predicament. She had to do something before

everything went to shit or something happened.

Rushing towards Jade, who was in Adryan's arms, Violet tugs her forward by gripping her arms. This

caused Adryan to growl lowly in warning under his breath at Violet, his wolf felt someone tug his mate

away from him and he didn't like it one bit.

"Relax, I'm just taking her to her room." She tells him, assuring him that she didn't have the intention of

taking Jade away from him. Away from the pack.

Just then, a unmated male roughly around the age of eighteen steps forward, his eyes of that of his

wolf's. Dark.

Adryan hands Jade over to Violet's arms, and steps towards the male in warning. Flashing his

elongated fangs at the teen.

"Come on Jade, let's get you out of here" Violet takes Jade towards the exit of the ballroom, as soon as

they were going to step out, another male seemed to block their path. His dark eyes fixed on Jade's

figure with lustful eyes.

Violet curses under her breath.

"Jade, I want you to go to your room and lock it. Do you understand? You've to lock it. I've to stop these

men from getting to you." Violet speaks, her words directed at Jade even though her gaze was fixed on

the male before them.

Jade nods her head in reply, talking at the moment felt like a tedious work.

"Go" Violet shouts toward her for just in time for the male wolf to lung towards where Jade stood a few

second ago.

Jade rushes out of the ballroom, exiting and stumbling into the chilly night.
