Alpha Aidan's Rejection 73: Just The Two Of Us
TARAMy eyes blinked open, and I momentarily forgot where I was. Looking around me to accustom myself to the darkness of the room, I remembered where I was, and when the steady inhale and exhale of a second person sounded next to me on the bed, memories of what happened between us hit me like a train.“Shit,” I cursed, looking around me for something to tell me what time it was. It was still dark, so it wasn’t dawn yet.I didn’t plan to sleep over at Aidan’s house. Hell, I didn’t plan to sleep with him at all!Sighing, and making sure that Aidan was still asleep, I tossed the covers off me. ‘Covers I did not recall throwing on in the first place.’ That must have been Aidan.Red slowly heated my cheeks in a blush.Speaking of, I let my gaze wander over and settle over Aidan on the bed, finding it so easy to make out his sleeping features in the dark. He was on his back, and his bare, sparsely inked chest rose and fell steadily, and before I knew it, I was lost studying every single de

TARAI could only avoid Jenna’s persistent questioning for so long with the excuse that I was tired after last night, to which she mocked the hell out of me, but it was better than admitting that I slept with the man I’d been avoiding for so many years and that I feared it was something more.The next day at the diner, it caught up with me, and I could not evade Jenna’s curiosity anymore.Tara was on her makeshift playground behind the diner, the one that Aidan had come in with “reinforcements” to make safer for her to play in, so I kind of ran out of excuses to give Jenna.“You’re seriously going to make me beg and grovel at your feet for the scraps, Tara? Is this what we have become? I thought we were more than this,” Jenna spoke, trying to get me to talk through her attempt at blackmail…or in this case, friendmail.“You don’t even like him, Jen,” I defended. “Why do you want to hear what happened?”Jenna feigned offense. “I’m only wary of him and watching his moves so he doesn’t ha

TARAWe had done a lot within only the first few hours of our date, leading me to suspect that Aidan had been planning this for more time than I thought. I was having more fun than I had in months…and an entirely different experience than I’d had in years, so I wasn’t complaining at all.First, it was an amazing dinner, just as Aidan had said, and then we started to walk around town. We found ourselves at a movie house where we spent the whole time gossiping, laughing, and pissing off the rest of the spectators before we finally got the subtle cue from everyone to fuck off.We moved on to a pottery workshop where Aidan successfully charmed the female potter to let us shape some clay. It was messy, but with the constant laughing, and getting to see how handsome Aidan looked when he focused like that, it was perfect.Aidan had long finished his work which resembled the cup he claimed it was, while I was still struggling to make my vase look nothing like a deformed shark as Aidan watched

TARAWe stood in a spot I was familiar with around the corner but in front of a building I didn’t recognize because I was pretty certain that the massive off-white structure with red roof and lights blaring from every angle of it wasn’t here the last time I passed through here.It was a new building. And from what it looked like, the building was fast gaining some attraction from the pack as young shifters hobbled themselves together in groups in a handful of places.From the corner of my eye, I could spot an outdoor tennis and basketball court to the side of the building, and a volleyball and football field to the other side. I instantly smiled at what Aidan wanted to show me, but I was still confused, so I asked. “What am I looking at?”Aidan took a deep breath behind me as he looked ahead at the building, and he responded. “The pack’s retreat complex.”I could hear the excitement in Aidan’s voice, and itched to know what it was about.“Retreat complex. What’s that?”Aidan came to

AIDANAs I couldn’t get Tara to change her mind about leaving the house I bought for them, I settled on the next best thing to living in the same house with them, which was seeing them at every chance that I could get.I planned to spend as much time as I could catching up on all the things I’d missed with Tara and Nadia, and nothing beat the excited look on Tara’s face when I showed up to her diner the next day, or the squeal that erupted from Nadia’s throat when she saw me.We were making some real progress that I was more than happy with.“Aidan,” Tara called as soon as Nadia let go of me, disappearing to the back of the diner to go feast on the snacks I picked up for her on my way over. “You’ll spoil her if you keep up with that.”I chuckled as I took in Tara’s gorgeous face. Her small pouty lips were tweaking, fighting a smile, and her eyes pulled me in. A memory of how dark those siren eyes went when she fitted under me that night flashed in my mind, and I swallowed thickly.A f
Dernière mise à jour : 2025-02-03Alpha Aidan's Rejection 78: Soon, Baby, Soon
TARAConsidering the duration of my pregnancy and Nadia’s eight and a half years, I hadn’t seen my mother in close to a decade, and I hadn’t heard one word about her or anything relating to Attica pack except Adian.My father too, but from the memory of a loaded shotgun pointed at my head and the fury I’d seen in his eyes, I doubted if my father still wanted anything to do with me even after all this time.Back then, one of the reasons why I’d contemplated not keeping my baby—an unthinkable thing to me now— was the fact that my mom was constantly sick, and my father was barely making enough to take care of us and her medical needs, talk more of a kid.It started with muscle problems, before morphing into high blood pressure, and eventually, symptoms of something more dreadful. I had no idea how bad things had gotten… if Mom was better, or if she was…I shook the thought off my mind. I believed in the power of the mind, so I didn’t want to conjure up any bad news for my family.The eve

AIDANShouldn’t I have been ecstatic that Nadia and Tara were finally coming to Attica pack, where I most wanted them to be, even if this journey was only temporary?No arguments…I was. I was happy for this development, but dread coiled itself around my neck more than joy, making me question if this was the right time, or if once again, Jace was right, and I had dug a grave for myself that I couldn’t get out of.I hadn’t entirely been honest with myself, and neither have I been one hundred percent honest with Tara. My briefcase stared at me, and so did all the evidence from my attempt to change the hands of fate.Documents for a new diner in Attica pack with keys I had intended to give Tara, documents with Nadia’s name, admitting her as a pupil in Attica’s most prestigious institution, a new home for them, and subsequently, for us, and even more incriminating information that I couldn’t dare name.These should have been a thing of joy and pride to share with Tara, but I’d gone and don

TARAI didn’t expect to be hit with so many memories as soon as Aidan drove us past Attica Pack’s borders, those from the events surrounding my departure, and more from way before then, but I was.Attica pack had changed—in a really good way—, but with the anxiousness and the bad memories this place brought up, I would have turned around and headed back where I came from if Aidan wasn’t with me.He must have noticed my dampened mood, seeing as he rushed in and out of the large penthouse after showing Nadia to her room. Not even the jaw-dropping gorgeousness of Aidan’s condo could get me to relax.As soon as he got back, Aidan took my hands in his, automatically calming me down, and he led me to a sofa. His eyes held the most understanding and patience, something I was so grateful for. Aidan didn’t know that this was more than just facing my parents after the tragic event years ago, but also some dark traumatic experiences of mine that I barely thought of anymore because it was way eas

Alpha Aidan's Rejection 110: Feelings For Aidan
TARA The attack from the Stonewolves had become stale news. People freely went about their businesses now, so it was no hassle for me to go restocking Aidan’s kitchen with foodstuff one week after everything happened. I had to admit, it wasn’t easy feeding a man the size and stomach of Aidan, but what was a girl to do when he took care of her and their child with so much dedication? Aidan could as well eat portions meant for me and Nadia combined and doubled, and he still wouldn’t be satisfied. It was why the foodstuffs in his house never lasted more than two weeks without needing a restock. His love for food was what made me conclude that it was why Aidan could not only whip up meals that could pass for a chef’s standards, but could also make actual fancy meals! Back to shopping. I loved the activity’s semblance of serenity, so this was a win win. And since Nadia was with Esme for the Saturday afternoon, it was the perfect way for me to spend it. With the trolley in hand, I
Alpha Aidan's Rejection 109: Home Safe
TARA Everything Aidan said made sense. They were going to try to reverse the Stonewolves’ curse, and if anyone would have the resources to do so, it was going to be Aidan, whether in Vermont Pack or Attica. But if that didn’t turn out to be successful, we would have to stick to other means of protection, and that included our wolf sides. I wasn’t much of a shifter. I couldn’t even remember the last time I saw my wolf. After everything that happened all those years ago, I couldn’t help but feel more vulnerable than safe when I wasn’t in control of my physical body. Not after I’d been stabbed in the back, almost taken out at the hospital where I should have been recovering, and having to spend years trying to heal those wounds. I knew my wolf was capable of protecting me, but I just had to get to trust myself on that again. And I had to do it for Nadia too. If she was going to have a chance at being in tune with her wolf side, she had to actually experience her wolf side. No one was
Alpha Aidan's Rejection 108: Your Safety
AIDAN As soon as Tara and Nadia were out of sight, I did the first thing that came to mind. Made sure the multiple entrances to the house were well secured from intruders and activated the security alarm system around the house. I was back in my spot before Tara came back out, hoping that this plan I had in my mind worked. Having Stonewolves spring up where they both lived was a chance I wasn’t willing to keep taking. Not after the scared look on Tara’s face whenever they were mentioned, bringing back the trauma of her experience with them that prevented her from being able to close her eyes to sleep for months before now. “How badly was Jace hurt?” Tara asked, cutting through my thoughts with the sound of her voice, eyes trained on me from across the kitchen island as she picked on her cuticles, nervous about the welfare of her friend, Jenna, and Jace. I shook my head, voice low as I watched her advance. “He’s out cold.” The outline of her neck held in a gasp as she asked with
Alpha Aidan's Rejection 107: How Bad
TARA “I can’t ask you to come with me, Tara. Not when Nadia is all alone at her training,” Jenna said, the second we got outside the restaurant, her eyes still brimming red with unshed tears. It had been only months since Aidan and Jace first came into Vermont Pack, but I couldn’t blame Jenna for falling head over heels for Aidan’s beta in such a short time. I mean, the same thing happened with me and Aidan. As much as Jenna seldom talked about the dynamics of her relationship with him, I knew she cared deeply for him, but she still had other’s interests at heart, even when she was currently breaking with the news about Jace being hurt. “Jenna,” I breathed, scared shitless, and worried to my bones for both my friend and my daughter. “Will you be okay?” She shook her head once, her eyes full and almost spilling over. “I have to be. Be on the lookout, and avoid them as much as you can, okay? Get Nadia to safety and stay indoors till you hear it’s okay to come out.” I nodded, pulli
Alpha Aidan's Rejection 106: We Have To Go
TARA Someone else could have been fooled by Kayla acting as if she knew nothing about the text I received on my day off, but even if I hadn’t suspected her, it was still her number that sent me the message. “What text?” I repeated her last question out loud, chuckling lightly, already irritated at the fact that she was ruining my brunch with Jenna who was still fuming across the table, but trying her hardest to remain quiet, letting me handle my business. Beneath all that calm, I could see that Jenna was charged, ready to act if push came to shove with Kayla. Kayla shrugged at the question, and I shook my head. “Why are you in Vermont Pack right now, Kayla?” I asked, trying to look for any logical reasons why she would abandon the comfort of her pack to be where no one wanted her. I genuinely wondered. Was it because of Aidan? Or was it for the fact that she saw me after all these years, and found out that she failed in her plan to keep me and Aidan away or ruin our family. “
Alpha Aidan's Rejection 105: What Text?
TARA Jenna and I stood in front of the pack’s retreat complex on an already sunny Saturday morning, seeing Nadia off to her first day of football practice, and well, it was quite an interesting morning. Jenna was all smiles, encouraging Nadia to crush all her teammates even if it was just her first practice, and I was an entire other case. Nadia had suddenly picked up the interest the evening after we ran into Aidan here, and I wouldn’t have been as shocked if the new hobby interest was cheerleading or even football with a team of girls, but Nadia had stuck to her desire in playing football with all male kids team. I was not going to stop her from trying out what interested her, but it made me ask myself some questions, as most mothers would, seeing as this wasn’t the first time Nadia was choosing to do something that most young girls at her age wouldn’t be interested in. “Come on,” Jenna said, pulling me by my arm away from the complex entrance, and out of my thoughts. “We don’
Alpha Aidan's Rejection 104: Men Who Should Be Castrated
TARAAs soon as I crossed the entrance door to Jenna’s living room, her petite frame was the first thing I saw leaning by the door that connected her two rooms, and I halted, freezing like a teenager caught returning from a party she was forbidden from attending, intoxicated on all the wrong things.To make light of the situation, I teased her, saying. “Hi, Mom.”The lights were switched on now, and yeah, she looked everything like the angry mama in the sleepwear, red hair messily piled up on her head, while I looked like the rebellious daughter.Jenna only studied me for a few more seconds before her face scrunched up in disgust, only that I could see through it to know that it was faux, one hand coming to waft an imaginary smell away from her nose.“You. Reek. Of. Sex!” “Jeez, Jenna,” I bellowed, eyes wide in horror as I kicked my shoes off, crossing the room to where she stood. “Don’t say those words with Nadia in the next room hearing you,” I cautioned, and Jenna only waved me aw
Alpha Aidan's Rejection 103: Not Coming Home
TARAThe otherwise perfect date had been ruined by Kayla’s appearance, so me and Aidan called it a night early. Not that we couldn’t continue with our evening, pretending to not have noticed her, or choosing to ignore her outrightly, and not that I was worried Kayla would go and find Nadia, but my evening had already been soured with not just the topic of the dangerous Stonewolves wreaking their havoc now, but also with seeing Kayla’s face in Vermont Pack.I needed to go back to Jenna’s to be with Nadia and put her to bed, and Aidan understood this, as he drove me to her apartment, just fifteen minutes away from his inviting home.“I need to go over some more details with Jace before I call it a night, but call on me when you’re ready to leave, and I’ll come pick you guys up, okay?” Aidan spoke once we reached Jenna’s, and my mind broke away from the thoughts for a second, snapping back to the present.“There’s no need for that. We’ll call for a ride, Aidan. Handle your business,” I a
Alpha Aidan's Rejection 102: Announce Herself
TARAFor the days that came after that, I couldn’t go past a few minutes without thinking about all the unholy things Aidain did to and with my body in his room that night, and neither could I stop my body from shuddering whenever I recalled how dark and heated his voice had gone when he commanded me, owned me, and treated me like his property.By the time we were done, both spent, and many hours after I had put Nadia to bed, the side of Aidan that I’d come to know and love returned to me, stroking my scars, reassuring me with his words, taking care of my body, and cleaning me up, minutes before I drifted into absolute bliss.This was our new routine, only that we added so many dates to the list…and the flowers as well as the shopping supplies.What could I say? A girl was getting spoiled, and she wasn’t complaining.Aidan went through with his promise to get me at least ten other flowers before I could choose a favorite, even going overboard because I truly lost count of how many flo
