'Time to go home, sis.' Jade's brother said through their mind link. He's the only one that can communicate with her because they have their twin connection.
In the pack link, Jade couldn't communicate with others because she 'did not' have a wolf and an Omega. But the truth is, Freya simply hide her presence from anyone in the pack, that even Jade did not understand how she could do it. Not even her brother can tell that she has Freya.
"I'll be there, bro," Jade replied.
Freya hides again in one corner of Jade's mind, while Jade looks at Emerald and sadly smiles.
"Sis, I need to go home now. My brother is calling through our mind link." Jade hug her.
"Thank you for the gift and I hope you and my brother will take care of me whatever happens, tomorrow," Jade told her sadly.
Emerald hug her tight.
"Trust the necklace, sis and everything will be alright. Don't worry, we'll take care of you. "
"I trust you, sis. I have to go now."
Jade arranged her belongings and sadly went down to the treehouse. Emerald's gaze followed her, Jade wave at her for the last time. And in a blink of an eye, the treehouse becomes ugly again in Jade's sight.
She quickly walked home. When Jade looked around, it was already afternoon. Emerald and she also talked for a few hours. No doubt, she will suffer for these. She still has to prepare dinner for them before she goes to the hospital where she's an intern.
Jade taking BS Biology as her pre-med course in one human university in the city. She's in third-year college despite her age of eighteen. She passes two acceleration tests in high school to speed up her study because she was always subjected to bullying.
Jade still plan to go in medical school to complete her study, for now, she's a doctor's assistant as an intern. She chose to become a doctor to hide her ability to heal. Her healing ability is not powerful yet like other witches but it's good enough to help others.
She also chose to study at a human university to avoid those who oppress her. At least there, they treat her equally and with respect.
Jade speed up her walking, afraid they will catch her late. She suddenly stopped when she saw Jasmine glaring in her direction with anger in her eyes while waiting at the kitchen door latch.
"J-Jasmine?" Jade acted terrified of her
Freya snorted in her head. She can hide her presence from everyone but she's always alert in Jade's head. Jade ignore her wolf and continue her act.
Jasmine cross their distance and pulled her hair. She's pissed that she left again, and made her wait. Jade cried out, this time she won't need to pretend with the pain.
"Jasmine... Ouch! Please, don't. " Jade cried and said, at the same time holding back Jasmine's hand from pulling her hair. She's trying to break free but Jasmine tightens her hold.
Jasmine dragged Jade into the kitchen and push her to the counter.
"You were in that ugly tree again? Didn't I tell you, don't go far from here? You're a piece of s**t! Bad luck! Now go! Prepare our food!" She furiously shouted at Jade. She pushes Jade into the sink using her werewolf strength and walks out into the kitchen.
Jade was hit hard in her stomach from the impact. Freya whimpers in her head but Jade blocks her off. She hates it if Freya pities her and blames herself. She cried silently while numbing her stomach.
She slowly heals it but leaves some bruises so that they would not notice her ability. A few minutes later, she heard footsteps going to the kitchen. She quickly wiped away her tears and straighten up. She winced at what she did.
Julian rushes to her side and hugs her.
"I'm sorry, baby sis. I'm late again. I felt your pain. I'm sorry I wasn't here to protect you," he said with worry and remorse.
She didn't answer, simply cried in his chest. That's the second connection they have, they can feel each other pain and emotions. Jade has almost nothing to hide from him ... well, except for his mate, her best friend, and having a wolf, Freya; since she was six years old.
Not that he suspected anything, Freya can expertly hide her presence from other wolves, despite them being twins, their wolves are different. While Emerald always makes sure to remove her scent on Jade so no one would know that she met her in the treehouse.
Meet Julian Aivan Knightly. Soon to be Beta of Silver Arrow Pack. The current leaders are waiting for him to turn eighteen so that he and Franklin will lead the pack.
Julian is the only one who loves Jade in this pack. Protect her from others who tried to harm her. Sometimes, he came too late, but he made sure she didn't get hurt when he was around.
"Shhh, it will be alright, baby sis. I think it's about time that you have to leave this place. I can't watch you get hurt anymore. You have to stay with our aunt Jamie, sis, for the sake of your safety." Jade could hear the pain and worries in her brother's voice. She nodded.
Their aunt Jamie is their mother's younger sister that has a human mate and half-witch children. Their aunt had wanted to take Jade for a long time but their dad wouldn't let Jade go because she wasn't old enough.
Tomorrow, Jade is free to leave here but that in a different reason because of what Emerald told her earlier.
"Let's talk about that tomorrow, bro. I need to cook our dinner and get to the hospital. "
Jade avoided the conversation. She let go of his hug and started preparing the food she was going to cook.
She heard him sighed harshly and quietly helped her. Jade knew he could feel her fear but he remained silent and helped her cook.
"Eat first after we cook, sis, so that I will take you afterward," Julian suggested.
Jade just nodded.
They were able to cook quickly. Jade hurriedly took a shower and put on her hospital uniform. She also ate first to avoid her father and their sister.
Seven in the evening until 3 in the morning is Jade's duty at the hospital, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. She goes to the university every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, from one in the afternoon until nine in the evening.
Jade is her family's slave every time she's at home.
"You are ready, sis? Let's go." Julian called outside Jade's door. Knocking her door repeatedly.
"I'm leaving, brother. " Jade replied to him.
She picked up her belongings on the table and went out. Julian immediately took it from her and carry them. His arms around Jade's shoulders as they leave the house.
Their father was just about to enter when they open the door. Jade immediately bowed and greeted him but he didn't show any reaction towards her. He faces Julian and simply ignores Jade.
"Make it fast, Julian. You need to patrol the border with Franklin tonight," he said coldly, and enter the house, leaving no arguments.
Julian sighed, and they continue walking to his car. He hates his father for ignoring his sister but he can't do anything about it. All he could do is tomorrow send his sister away from this place.
It saddens Jade that their father's reaction will remain the same in her but she starting to accept it.
