Jace :3

She predicted my life. But who was that woman that died in a fire? A baby. Who was that baby? Was that mine? I left the room for some space and sat down on a fountain outside.

I ran a hand through my hair, slightly frustrated. I put my elbows on me knees and my face in my hands. God my head hurts from all this.

I took a deep breathe and then stopped, my head perking up. There was a scent in the air. Coconuts and Jade. It was a wonderful combination. It smelled of heaven. My body automatically got up and followed the smell.

It led me through the pack house, which earned me some looks and then led to the, the hospital? I kept going, I went inside and a nurse had stopped me.

"Sir you cannot go down this wing. It is only unless your visiting. Are you visiting sir?"

"Y-yeah" I was distracted, not paying attention to her. I needed to get to one of those rooms.

"Sir can you give me a name?" I stared at her.

"Uhh i don't know. I just. That smell"

Her eyes widen, almost in realization. "Here I'll let you go then" I nodded and then ran past her. The scent led me to a room down the hall. Then I heard someone hiss in pain. I barged into the room to see a girl, her back was turned to me and she held her stomach.

"Jordan I told you I'm fi-" see turned and then her breathe hitched.

"Mate" both of us said, as our eyes locked together. She was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She was skinny. She wore a ripped up black dress that hugged at her glorious curves. Her heels were set to the side. Her hair was up in a messy bun. I stared at her hand as she covers her stomach and I walked up to her, then took her hand in mine.

"My names Jace. What happened to you my love?" Dalton I don't want to scare her, we just met.

But she's our mate. She would never be scared

What about Emerald?

Emerald simply misunderstood Ryder. Plus now she doesn't remember anything so no hurt.

"One of our pack members had a funeral and she kinda came back to life and attacked me..b-but I'm fine" she looked up at me and her eyes seemed to sparkle a bit.

My eyebrows rose up. "Was her name Emerald?" She bit her lip and nodded.

"How did you know?" I smirked. This is a perfect opportunity.

"I got close relations with the Alpha, we've been friends for quite sometime, even though I'm rouge. I actually got him and Emerald closer you know until she lost her memory"

She smirked as well, showing her dimples. "Oh so your just such a top rank here and just as well respected, even though your a rouge" I mentally cheered with Dalton and the leaned up against the wall.  She didn't notice my sly lie. 

"Oh yes of coarse. I'm like beta, I was actually supposed to be Beta you know?" She purred a bit at my response and her hands found the collar of my shirt holding onto it. I felt my eyes widen at how close she was to me.

"Come closer" her lips went to my ear and I froze.

"My name is Rae. I'm Emeralds friend and I'm Ryder's sister. You can't fool me mate" she pulled away and I gulped.

"Try not to tell lies. I can sniff them out. If this is gonna work" she motioned between us. I nodded still shocked. My mate was an Alpha. I blinked a few times.

"Oh-okay..so how do we tell Ryder?"

She shrugged. "Once Emerald gets better we will tell him. For now we lay low got it?"

"Deal" she smiled a bit and her hand found her side again.

"Now come here and help me out, Ems got claws"

"Oh right" I rushed over grabbing bandages.

Emerald

I couldn't sleep. How can I? I've lost my memory. I've gained a new power. I can't see anything for god sakes.

I stared up at the ceiling fan. Metaphorically though, I imagined it in my mind. The sound was a soft buzz. My hands were resting on my stomach area. It was calm. Ryder shifted next to me, groaning and then wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer towards him. I laid my head on his bare chest and my legs laid across him. I felt protected. He was my protector. He explained what everything was. Luna. Alpha. Beta. Rouge. Mate.

Everything. 'Kya' was back supposedly. She was asleep now. My arms wrapped around his neck, making him groan as I snuggled in closer. "Emerald?" His tired voice was deep, soothing, I hummed back in response. He moved a bit.

"It's 4:00 in the morning. You should be getting some rest, you've had a rough day"

"I can't sleep" I mumbled back. His arms adjusted around me.

"Alright. What makes you fall asleep?" I shrugged at the thought.

"No idea" I frowned. "It's just my thoughts keeping me awake"

"Alright then. Care to share?" I shook my head. No. "You can't keep them from me Emerald. It's not healthy" I shrugged again.

"I'm just thinking about everything. It's so much" I felt his hand caress my cheek and then his lips came into mine. Soft and sweet. Gentle and not rushed. He pulled me closer, allowing g our lips to dance upon one and another's. We both then pulled away, catching our breathes.

"Thank you. For everything, taking care of me and what not"

"It's my job. As your mate and as your Alpha it is my duty to protect the ones I love. I will never let you go. Ever"
