" I don't blame you for your anger , Cousin " said Griffin " But I think its time for you to let go of your anger , why not issue an apology and let this matter end here?"
" Why don't you tell me why are you dragging me in this mess ? What do you want in the actual sense ? Is is my pack again ? or you are eyeing my mate just like before ? Or you just like to be a pain in my ass ? " said Aiden folding his arms and staring at Griffin his jaw set .
Rosalie didn't know where she got the idea but seeing the Griffin's dodgy eyes , she suddenly had a premonition , This look she was familiar with - Anna looked at her like this whenever she took something from her that didn't belonged to her at all .
" Maybe he doesn't want to leave you with anything " as all the eyes darted towards her she straightened up and looked at Griffin right in his eyes " He wants you to bow down to him , h
" Are you happy now ? Contested now that you have made me an outsider in my own pack ?"Rosalie almost laughed out , she didn't knew what went wrong with Monica but the woman had came rushing right towards her as if she wanted to jump right on her , the moment she took those marshmallows and hot chocolate from Troy , Monica came running in the kitchen screaming with her hair in a mess , resembling a mental patient who sneaked past her nurse . She of course knew that Brandon had ran for the hills and given that he had Monica as his mate, she didn't blamed him either . She knew it was a bitchy thing to say but she couldn't bring herself to sympathize with Monica, even with her mate , Monica's loyalties weren't clear . She had this ambiguous relation with Trish and the fact that she slept with him right that evening of her mate's departure , the remaining bit of feeling of pity for Monica was tossed out from her heart .&nbs
" Rose?" called Aiden rubbing her back a bit afraid when those Alpha vibes didn't settled down " are you okay ?"" I'm fine " said Rosalie with a smile as she jumped down from his lap " I should leave before I lose ' my control ' and bully this poor pregnant lady once again though I still need to remember when I bullied her for the fist time "Aiden looked at Monica whose mouth was agape with shock , she wasn't here when Rosalie took care of Lulu and seemed totally surprised by how powerful Rosalie was , however , even if his mate held the court perfectly it pissed him off that she was disrespected like such .Knowing how vociferous Monica can be once she dislikes someone, Aiden decided to take of the matter " Monica , I'm grateful for whatever you have done but You need to remember that Rosalie is my mate . " he spoke in a stern voice " I will not find it amusing if you ever accused her of something , she didn't do.
" Tyler ?"Rolling her eyes at the amount of jealousy that just rolled off him , she snorted " Well, yeah that's what this entire meeting is all about , I don't think Anna will come here alone without the intention of swaggering around me with my first mate .I bet she would want to rub it in my face how she stole my mate for herself "" To bad it doesn't bother you anymore "" Yeah , I know right " she grinned laying her head against the crook of his neck and looking up at him " I don't think she is only coming here for her so called ' Em- Er - Gency ' , she must be having a tough time at night sleeping with all those rumours flying around , about you being my second mate. After all those petty schemes and tricks , she used to make my mate her's , I don't think she will happy knowing I got another "" I would love to have one to one ta
" Thank you for coming " ignoring the jealous waves that were rolling off her mate's body , Rosalie addressed Cece , barely looking at the other two who came to stand in front of her . She wasn't lying when she said that her only purpose to agree with this meeting was to see Cece , she had no jolly memories regarding Anna and she wasn't all to excited about seeing her ex mate while there was a jealous current mate , pouting behind her back. No , seriously she thought Aiden will get overly jealous and moody with Tyler's presence but she didn't it will be this bad . Okay, may be she had an itty bitty idea about it . " It's been so weird not seeing you for so long " said Cecelia as she walked a few steps to hug her but then she caught sight of the brooding Aiden who was glaring at Tyler and stepped back " It wasn't my idea " Cece clarified at once , raising her hands in surrender and Rosalie groaned , as
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
" 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
" 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
" 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
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
