The shifters looked at each other warily , the one called Tyson gulped nervously . For a second Rosalie thought they will seriously pick up there beta then turn around and leave but they were indeed stupider than Rosalie believed them to be as Tyson lunged at Aiden , his claws unsheathed but before he could so much as swipe his claws at Aiden , he was head butted hard enough to make him stumble and mutter a low ' woah ' .
The others saw there pack mate in danger and rushed in together , Aiden slammed his arm against one neck and kicked other in the ribs , slammed him right on his butt . But Aiden's anger didn't subside , he didn't like it when someone tried to threaten his pack mates especially when the one being threatened was his own wife , thus , he didn't think twice before slamming his foot down on the shifter's rib cage and was pleased to hear a loud ' creak ' of one or two ribs getting broken .
Three of the
Aiden was set on protecting Rosalie , since he already set his mind . He wanted to ensure that Damian didn't speak anything unwanted that night trigger Rosalie and indirectly lead it to another ' run and chase ' and even if Damian fumbled the ball , Aiden was inclined on not letting him go and punish him throughly but never did he imagined in his wildest dream that he will find his most trusted enforcer and his wife , fighting over whether or not Damian flinched while watching the conjuring ." What in the world you two are doing ?" asked Aiden as he walked in the theatre room with a scowl that stretched all the way to Greece " Rose, I told you to go to the infirmary , what are you here ?"" The wound healed by the time I returned to the territory " said his wife , with an eye roll that only she had the courage to throw his way" Still you should have ch
" Are you going to condemn me as well ?" asked Trish ,hints of amusement flickering in his eyes as the others filed out of the room" to tell me how I will regret it one day ?"" No " said Aiden as he leaned back on his chair with his arms folded in front of him " I'm the last person to condemn you about how you treat your mate "This matter was hard to press upon and Trish didn't seem like he wanted to pursue the matter either .So , Aiden waited , waited for his Beta to ask that one question that will be beginning of the Pandora box being reopened ." Then what do you want to say ?" asked Trish completely unaware of his plan instead he looked quite relieved with the fact that Aiden didn't stepped in the matter himself ." Take a seat first " said Aiden as he pointed at ths chair opposite to him ." Now what
" So in the end you want to say that someone tried to mess me up and you hid it from me ?" asked Rosalie as she looked at Aiden who was still pissed off at Matteo for talking ' nonsense ' in front of her . Yeah , totally someone from the pack was out for her life and Aiden believed it was totally fine for her to be in the dark regarding this " I'm not so delicate you as*hole . Just because my wolf's a bit fu*ked up , it doesn't mean you gotta protect me like a fuc*ing princess ! "" Its not about your wolf !" said Aiden stopping his glaring match with Matteo and finally looking at her " its about me , I'm your husband and this pack's Alpha its my duty that I keep you protected "" By hiding things from me ?"" If it protects you from all this shit ? Yes !" said Aiden as he clasped her face with his hands " I know you are strong but your wolf is in terrible condi
Rosalie tried her very best to ease the suffocating pain , note the key word tried . Even though she didn't want to but she still went to Roxanne's room , in this pack except for Troy and her no one have completely accepted her even Aiden. Her mate .She very much wanted to busy herself but currently half of the pack was either in Aiden's room talking and discussing about what measures they need to take and the other half were at their job . Alice was at her hair salon , Giselle was at the office ( yeah , she was so desperate for company that she would rather have a battle of words with her arch enemy) , Leo was running around the territory boundary checking for anymore loopholes in their security and Monica was on her daily walk round the pack with Brandon .It was a low move , really low of her to come and disturb Roxanne , who had enough troubles in her love and professional life ( it was her fault, that she wa
" Keep behaving like this, once I find you I will surely fu*k this attitude out of you "" Oh , hell fu*king no " snapped Rosalie " You are not coming anywhere near me , We are so done !"" What do you mean by done ?" asked Aiden stopping mid between his search " What the hell do you mean by ' we are done '?"" It means ,I can't do this anymore ! You clearly don't trust me , you are afraid that I will lose my control and harm your pack , so you hide things from me that I have every right to know. I can't continue living in such a relationship "" You wait for me " said Aiden ignoring her rambling , it wasn't that he didn't cared about her . It was his heart , it stopped beating for a second and he need see Rosalie or else he might as well suffocate in pain " I am coming to find you , we will have a decent co
Aiden growled but despite his ' get the fu*k out of my way ' growl , Roxanne didn't budge an inch instead she wrapped her arms around Rosalie even more tightly and glared back .Roxanne had one arm around his wife while she used her other arm to slowly stroke Rosalie's hair and Aiden knew , Roxanne wasn't just bluffing when she wrote she will punch him in the face, this stubborn as a mule she wolf really did have the courage to punch him in the face and this was something Aiden admired . He admired Roxanne for both her courage and loyalty that she was showing towards Rosalie as her Alpha female but Rosalie was his wife , his mate and she wasn't going anywhere now but no one's keep him away from his mate and by no one , he meant absolutely no one . His wolf rumbled in agreement with that . Thus , Aiden released his Alpha pheromones together with a threatening growl , his eyes flashing wolf as he edged cl
" Fuc* off , as*hole " snapped Rosalie as she placed her hands against his chest and tried to push him away but ofcourse the macho man didn't budge an inch ." Don't call me an as*hole unless you want me to fu*k yours " said Aiden his eyes ablaze with fire that was burning in his heart till now " I know I fu*ked up but if you would have listened to me just for a second, you would know how sorry I was but instead you are ignoring me like shit ! You know what I'm , what my problem is yet you ran away again from me - no , you didn't ran away , you actually snuck from our room right under my nose , I don't think I taught you stealth for you to snuck out from my arms . Believe me , I'm this close to peeling your clothes off and take you right here and now and in case you don't want others to enjoy the show , we will be putting on - You don't want to push me anymore than you already have !"Ohhh , this bastard ! A
Aiden locked his gaze at Rosalie and caught the flicker of fear that rose up in them , he knew that she was feeling vulnerable but this relationship of theirs won't work unless they start making an effort for it. He needed Rosalie to be in her most vulnerable state before he begins his rampage on her walls that she keeps building up as she pleases , he needed her to understand that he was her mate and she cannot keep him out forever . He knew Rosalie was adamant and stubborn and if she didn't want to do something no one can force her to do what she didn't want to , if she remains hell bent on creating those walls around her heart then both of them would remain stuck in this stalemate .He was afraid of losing her and this fear made doubts encircle him whenever , things get out of his control. For him to completely let go of his suspicion and fear, he had to make Rosalie completely belong to him and for that these stubborn walls need to go .
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
