The moment they walked in the pack hall , every single pair of eye turned to look at them . Rosalie heard a few shocked murmurs , while some openly pointed at Aiden's broken nose . They had of course done the first aid available at the moment for Aiden but with a completely broken nose , it was impossible for them to hide Aiden's injury with just a single bandage .
" My , My Alpha Cullen , are you okay ?" once they reached the centre of the pack hall after much pointing and muttering , a rather buff man with an eye patch on his left eye advanced in their direction with a crooked smile - maybe it was crooked or it had to do something with the bump on his lips " Is this a loving reminder of your wedding night ?" he teased with a jolly laughter .
Aiden however simply chuckled appreciatively neither acknowledging nor denying the man's claims .
" My , My - looks like an Alpha woman remains an Alpha no m
Giselle had especially invited this man to come with her just to show Aiden that without him, there were still many men courting her. Just like him , she too had a lot of demand among men .And Among those men, this man before her was a rather perfect and good specimen.With the man on her arm, she smiled while walking a little closer towards the pair . Aiden frowned and instinctively walked a few steps forward as well.Giselle smiled at him " Good day , Aiden , Luna are you two enjoying this reception ? The pack had worked really hard to put everything together for you both "Aiden however didn't replied to her instead his gaze was focussed on the man , whom Giselle brought along with her . This man he knew him .He was the Beta of the neighbouring Blood moon pack. A few months ago they had a chance to work together on a business de
After what happened in the corridor , Rosalie left Aiden alone to meet and greet with people . She was more than just embarrassed after coming all over his fingers in that dark corridor and wanted a bit of space after seeing the dark side of her husband .She couldn't understand it . How in the world she actually enjoyed his teasing and touches when they had at least a hundred of audience right next to where they were .Seeing Aiden's true form , she knew that He was seriously sick , a complete monster .He can hurt anyone , even her - destroy her even , if he lost control.But still she didn't hate him for what he did to her , why can she not hate her ?Aiden had destroyed whatever sense of morality she had in mind and twisted it with his dark twisted touch . For even now she could only imagine the
" Woah there , will you really be okay ?" Celebrating the party with Troy and the others was one of the shittiest decision of her life , In the eyes of those shape shifters , getting drunk until you cannot even stand up straight was the right way to enjoy a party . That was the reason why , Rosalie found herself leaning against Aiden after a couple of hours ,dry heaving and muttering about feeling sick .She felt woozy like the world was rolling around and turned upside down woozy ; that was the reason why Aiden had to return mid way through the party and take her home . She knew it was completely stupid to get drunk like this but for once she just wanted to let loose ." Aiden ! " she called her husband carefully but the other party just gave her a stinky eyes as he fumbled with the keys to open the doors . If Rosalie was in her senses , she would have known it was completely idiotic thing to do but she wasn't , sh
" Giselle " Aiden was simply annoyed , he just couldn't understand this woman anymore , Giselle had always been ' You say , I follow ', type of a woman what changed ?If Giselle knew what Aiden was thinking than she might have died of anger but righr now she didn't cared about it . Instead all her attention was upon thinking that Aiden still liked her , in her opinion if he liked her he should just say it out loud and admit about liking her outright . There was no need for hiding his love for her by making excuses like such .Giselle believed that Aiden still loved her very much .She turned to look at him , her heart thumping as she leaned closer in his arms " If you really wish for me not to take the wrong road then don't abandon me "" For the last time Giselle " said Aiden with his brows furrowing in exasperation " I'm married "
Wolves surrounding her , black forest rippling with their growls . Her screaming . Her wolf howling ..Pain ..More pain .. Blood ... Her wolf Attacking .More wolves . Snapping . Biting ...claws ... Teeth ...Blood ...More roaring ...More blood ... More pain and even more blood .Growling . Blood ... her body tearing up ... Her wolf crying in pain ...Rosalie sprang right behind her bed , panting , shaking and sweating . Her heart thumped wildly in her chest, pumping aggressively . Snippets of her dream , her pain and her death flashed through her mind . Unaccountable amount of Grief ; rage and fear took over her .To her and her wolf , Griffin was another wolf who wanted to harm them .And this was severely distressing for her wolf , she howled enraged , attacking against the cage that bounded her inside . The cage that has confined h
Rosalie gasped out when strong hands threaded their way in her hair , pulling her closer and a strong demanding mouth was pressed against her . Aiden ravished it , possessing every inch of it and Rosalie knew she was a goner .She groaned against his lips , but Aiden only pressed their lips together even more , releasing a groan of his , suppressing her's .The kiss was full of dominance , it soon became full of carnality and hunger and animalistic . Their tongues intertwining , lip smashed against each other , Aiden nibbling on her lip biting and teasing .She grunted against his lips as her head almost smashed against the healer ward's wall . She pushed against her chest but it only pissed Aiden off even more , as he pulled her hands above her head . Holding them , not giving her a chance to struggle against his possesive grip .And when she c
Knowing that Roxanne was on the verge of hyperventilating, Rosalie hurried to search for a suitable dress , one that wasn't covered with debris and blood . She didn't want the * stranger * to come and celebrate Her baby shower and Leave Roxanne here to watch and let her blood pressure rise . It was when she stripped off her gown , when there was rhythmic knock on the bedroom .Rosalie jumped startled at the sound , she knew that Aiden will come marching asking for questions ." Rosalie open , the door " commanded Aiden , his tone unrelenting .She fumbled , staggering and nearly toppling against the bed side . Even though she wanted to delay this confrontation as much as possible ,she knew she couldn't procrastinate for long , so she hurriedly found a silk night gown and slipped it on her bare body .She had expected Aiden to be in one of his ' you don't wanna mess with
Aiden watched in amusement as his wife realeased a bit of her Alpha pheromones as well , the scent of her arousal mixed in with his , his dominance and her's persistence clashed , blending together with his arousal . Aiden felt his head swoon making him drunk .Rosalie glared at him with a challenging gaze of her own , her obstinate , soul piercing gaze settled on him and he watched incredulous as she shrug off his order all the while tipping her head at him in a hot headed manner .And Aiden swore to heavens , it made him hot as hell . He wanted to tear of that silky lingerie , stripping her naked and fu*k her until she screamed his name , fuc*k her till she submitted to his will . He needed to control himself ,something he was finding really hard right now and Aiden couldn't believe it , his control had always been iron clad but yet it was wearing thin against this woman ." Rosalie , y
The next few days passed by without no particular incidents happening , Aiden has tightened the security of the pack so well that Rosalie felt like she was residing in a military zone . Matteo, Trish and Cole kept an eye on every single pack member only to return disappointed when they got nothing and by the day of battle finally arrived , every one turned so jumpy and agitated that even the slightest ring of Aiden's phone startled them. " Its fine " said Aiden his jaw hardening as he rubbed her nape , then he turned to look at his pack mates and nodded " The alliance members are here " Matteo nodded then brought the enforcers out of the living room. Trish shared a look with Roxanne but the she wold turned her face away coldly without looking at him even once , Jojo on the other hand planted a smooch on her cheek that had Trish growling , Aiden snapped a snarl at both of them . He knew that along with
Rosalie walked back to her room and took a long soaking bath to clear of the scent of blood from her body . After that she sat on the bed determined to wait for Aiden and have a nice conversation once he was calm enough to listen to her reasoning but somewhere around midnight her head lolled off and she nodded off to sleep , this was the problem of taking a nice cozy bath and turning on the air con to full blast . However , when the clock chimed two in the morning, she was startled awake with a soft cooling and numbing sensation on the back of her hand .Her eyes fluttered open and she found Aiden kneeling by the side of her bed , rubbing some ointment on her injuries" You are back ? All done venting your anger ,huh Dr .hulk ? " she asked hoarsely her voice thick with sleep ." Sorry , I didn't mean to wake up up " said Aiden closing the tube and putting it on the bedside table .
" I get it " still clinging on his neck , Rosalie sighed " I know you are hurt and the situation is bad -"" This is who am I " enunciating each word Aiden spoke " You know who am I , what I am . That bastard tried to harm my mate on my own territory and you know that those who touch my bottom line , what am I capable of doing to them . Then don't ask me to do something that's not me , I'm the monster of Crescent moon pack , the blood thirsty Alpha who never thinks before killing his enemies , so don't ask me to be forgiving when I'm not capable of that sentiment , you will only hurt yourself "" I'm not asking him to forgive him , Jeez " scowling Rosalie looked up at his ruby red eyes " I'm asking you to just hold it in for a few days ,After the council's limit is a done deal , you can go ahead and rip his throat into shreds and I will cheer you on for that , I'm just asking you to delay it for a whil
" That stupid little sneak !" snarled Rosalie covering her face with her hands , she should have known as scheming as Griffin was he wouldn't have given up on his plan . She looked down at the small scratches and scraped on her knuckles and palm , the one she got when she was punching and dragging rat eye around the forest and groaned , Aiden will definitely not be happy about it at all , infact she could even imagine what kind of reaction her mate probably will have " call back Jojo and ask him that I'm coming back to the pack hall , he doesn't need to arrange all the enforcers to come and hound me "Roxanne and nodded and punched Jojo's number , the first ring didn't even finished ringing when Jojo picked up " Yeah it me ... no . she is fine ... yeah , I found her ...like I said she is totally fine ...no she wasn't kidnapped .. not exactly " both Rosalie and Roxanne winced when They heard Aiden yelling from some where in the background " Ye
The man was too winded up to speak and Rosalie didn't cared about him either , she knew that the man was here to kidnap her , which probably meant - Her eyes turned dark . While the man tried to recover from her kick , Rosalie used her hand and abruptly choked The kidnapper, cross eyed the man let out a sputter and made a choking sound , he tried to get rid of her clutch on his throat but Rosalie kneed him in his groin and backed away until he was pinned between a tree and her choke hold .She already caught the phone in her hand when she kicked the man earlier , still pinning the man on the tree , she placed the cell phone on her ear and spoke " I know its you , Dear cousin in law Griffin .. care to explain what exactly your man is doing here inside my pack ?"Her voice was coated with honey as if she wasn't choking a man with her hand , Cross eye made a lot a choking angry sound in response as his le
" I - I never thought that someone in your pack will really harm your mate , willingly " said Rosalie sounding genuinely shocked " I mean , a little bit of hate and taunts here and there are completely fine , I even took what they did to my wedding album and whatnot as a prank , something out of anger but to actually harm me ? I don't even know what to say about it "" I know wifey , I don't blame you " said Aiden angry at himself for not protecting her perfectly " who ever did this will be answering me soon, don't you worry "" Worried ? With you here ?"******"I said you are not going , that's it " For the millionth time Aiden declared shoving a mouthful of bacon in his mouth ignoring the glare that she was pointing at him .She knew after what happened there would definitely be some sort of craziness and possesiveness from the guy
" Did you saw anyone ?" asked Damian narrowing his eyes as he swept his gaze through the forest " Heard anything, it will be easier to catch them if we know, in which direction they ran off to ."" I didn't- I , I was just so worried " snapped Aiden his mouth pursued in a snarl , all he did was to leave her alone for an hour and went to the entrance gate to see what exactly Matteo wanted however , he and Matteo harsly reached that point of conversation when he felt a huge thump at the back of his head .In his heart he only cared about finding Rosalie ,from where will he get the time to worry about other things .At the common room Alex has frantically set up temporary infirmary and urgently rushed them " careful , don't touch her head let me see the damage "Beside him was Cece who looked really worried as she hopped around getting trying to get closer to Rosalie " Le
" Are you okay ?" noticing the emotional upheaval in Rosalie, Aiden asked . Though he didn't liked how she felt enraged and angry at Tyler's words , he wasn't going to condemn her for that . Blame him for being a second late and becoming her second chance instead of first ; maybe if he met her before Lula , before she met Tyler , their future might have been a bit diffrent ." I'm fine " said Rosalie though she was a bit withdrawn from Aiden , she knew it wasn't fair for him to feel her estranged emotions for her ex mate and tried to shut him off .Aiden looked at her carefully and noticed the difference in her tone . His wolf growled at the idea and so did Aiden , he didn't liked her attempt at shutting him off from her .He nuzzled in her hair and brought her closer in his arms ,yet she didn't gave her the charming yet annoyed smile and Aiden snarled in irritation .He dipped down and bit on her nose lightly
Rosalie was stuck dumb with Aiden 's shamelessness , to think not only did this man refused to agree to the alliance with her old pack, he was coveting the pack member of the other pack right in front of the future Alpha and Luna of the her previous pack ." If you don't agree to this alliance then so be it , but you cannot have our pack mate join your pack right in front of us " said Anna her face purple with anger" I want Cece to be in our pack though sister " said Rosalie seizing the chance " If you agree , I might let Aiden discuss this so called alliance with you "" Are you playing with me ? She is a healer and you know how badly our pack needs a healer "" And you need this alliance as well " said Rosalie with an innocent shrug " You can discuss it among yourself , whether you want this alliance to get rid of your troubles or you want to keep your healer , its upto you "&nbs
