Chapter Three
Ashira’s POV
Five months has passed and I’m laying on our bed with Aiden’s arms wrapped protectively on my waist. I watched his face as he sleeps peacefully beside me. My eyes went to his long and thick lashes, his pointed perfect nose and his naturally reddish lips.
The sight I never get tired to look at every morning, everyday.
As much as I want to let him sleep, the sun is already high up, and he might be late for his pack responsibilities.
“Aiden…” I whispered softly, smiling when I felt his arm wrapped tighter on my waist. He is awake. Or was. “You’re awake.”
Aiden smiled, his eyes kept closed as he spoke with a boastful smile on his face. “I’m just letting you watch me longer…”
I chuckled and slapped his arm gently. “Wake up or Nick will be furious if you’re late again!”
Aiden groaned. “He won’t. He is too busy wriggling his tail to Cressia so he won’t bother me like before.” he said playfully with a smirk.
Cressia is Nick’s mate. The rogue who possessed the Paraiba Tourmaline and offered it to us. I know it was hard for her to gave us the gem because it was a memory of her mother but she did anyway, and I’m forever grateful for that.
I laughed but started pushing him away. “You’re just being lazy!” I accused him, my voice soft and playful.
Aiden opened his eye and got blinded by the sun outside. Groaning, he closed it again and hugged me more, dipping his head on my neck.
“Good thing our boy stopped bothering us this early…” he whispered.
It was just last week when Quillon stopped coming on our bed, to wake us up.
And since then, I always experience Aiden’s steamy morning exercises. Working me out.
I felt his lips suckled on the skin of my neck, making me bit my lip and suppressing a smile. Damn, this effects of him in me never changes.
“Y-Yeah…” I agreed. Aiden chuckled and continued what he was doing, his arm on my waist hugged me even tighter and his gentle nibbling turned thirsty, wanting more.
He shifted his weight and moved on top of me, his arm moved to my side for support while the other went on my leg, grabbing it tight and sensual.
My moan was locked in our mouth when his lips found mine, kissing me passionately and rough. We have a lifetime ahead of us but we always make love like there will be no tomorrow.
His hand cupped my breast, kneading it slow but hard and I moaned more when his finger flicked on its peak. The pleasure building inside of me heightened even more and my hand grabbed on his arm as if for support.
I’m sinking, deep into the pleasure that Aiden alone can give me.
Aiden was about to lift my night dress, when we felt a presence inside the room! He was quick to cover us with the blanket as we look at Quillon who teleport in our room.
The innocent boy was about turn his back on us, his hands covering his eyes and his lips pursed to suppress a smile.
“Stop right there, little man.” Aiden said in a serious tone but I know he was hiding his amusement behind it.
I sighed and chuckled, laying weakly on the bed. Aw! I think my son will receive a head-on nagging from his father by the way Aiden quickly stood up with his arms on both his waist.
Quillon stopped turning his back on us, smiling sheepishly and I can’t help but smile upon seeing Aiden in him. A cute little version of my Alpha mate.
He removed his hands on his eyes and looked at his father, the same face that resembles him.
“G-Good morning, Daddy. Mommy…” the way my son greeted and looked at me sounded like he was asking for help. I bit my lip to suppress my smile and watched as my son cleared his throat as he looked back to Aiden.
“What did I told you about coming to our room using your powers, Quillon?” Aiden asked, starting his manly nagging to my son.
I pity my son for looking so regretful but they just looked too cute that I enjoy watching them like this.
Quillon bit his lip and pursed it. He knew his mistake.
“I just got excited, Daddy.” he explained.
“That is not an excuse.” Aiden said, still at it. “How will your mother and I give you a sister if you--”
“Aiden.” I groaned. He is so bold with this kind of conversation even with Quillon! I won’t wonder if our son will turn to a man-whore in his teens with all of Aiden’s concluded ideas!
Aiden looked at me with squinted eyes. He hates it when I’m taking our son’s side, sometimes he got jealous by it! He is being unreasonable.
Ignoring him, I turned to Quillon who looked hopeful that I helped. “What made you excited, honey?” I said, extending my arms for a hug.
My son take a quick look at Aiden before running to the bed, and inside my arms. I hugged him tight.
‘You shouldn’t spoil him too much. I should be the one you are spoiling.’ Aiden said in my head and my eyes widened at him, shocked, before rolling my eyes. His brows furrowed and his lips parted from my reaction.
“Uncle Seth told me we can go to Uncle Zeke for a visit if both of you will permit it.” he said, his eyes are already hopeful as he looked up at me but he was trying to hide it.
I bit my lip and looked at Aiden. He just arched his brow at me, maybe still angered and punishing me through letting me decide.
This is not an easy decision though. I’m scared to let my son go our of our pack, of my sight.
“Uhm,” I don’t want to let him but I know he will be dismayed. He looked so excited, and he hasn’t visit Zeke for a month now because we got busy with the pack works.
I looked at Aiden again and there was no hint that he will be helping me this time.
‘Stop looking and say something!’
‘If you let me in-charge then he won’t have the chance to ask.’ he replied, his eyes looking at me intensely.
I was fuming, but I sighed loudly and looked at my son who’s exchanging glances to me and Aiden now.
“Well, honey, we can go some other time…” I gulped. It was hard to say no to him.
“But Mommy,” he pouted. “I missed hanging around Ravenous pack…” oh no, my son is trying to use his charm on me.
I looked at Aiden again but his jaw are just clenched as he watches me, still not going to help me with this.
Okay, I think I need to use my contingency plan that may help me to get through this, huh?
‘If you won’t help me with our son, I will sleep on his room for a week.’ I threatened.
I saw Aiden’s eyes widened a bit, and I’m not sure if he was shock or amused with what I said but his reaction tells me that it is effective.
Clearing his throat, he walked closer to the bed and lifted my son.
“Come here, buddy.” he grunted as he lift Quillon to him.
Quillon looked at Aiden with pursed lips, the hope in his eyes were gone. I know my son is not oblivious that I’m always asking Aiden for help about things like this.
“I can’t go, right?” Quillon concluded fast and looked down to his tangled fingers.
My heart felt like someone kicked it from how disappointed he looked right now. I bit my lip and looked away from them, I can’t stand the sight.
Its been five months of peace but my mind is still living in fear. A lot of what-ifs are going on in my head. And what scared me more is if I’m already depriving my son of a happy childhood because of my fears.
“Of course you can, how long do you want to stay there?” Aiden’s voice is full of happiness behind. My neck almost snapped and my eyes widened from what I heard him say!
‘Aiden!’ I called on to his mind but he chuckled and didn’t even looked at me.
“I can? Yey!”
“You can stay there for a week. I will inform Uncle Seth about it.” Aiden added and my mouth dropped open.
A week?!
I spoke my opposition but my son’s outburst won over my voice.
“I will tell him myself now!” then he was gone from his father’s arms and used his powers to probably go to Seth.
“Aiden! What did you do?!” I screamed once we’re alone.
The bastard smirked at me, he leaned to the bed, his fists on the soft mattress while his eyes are gleaming with a plan I think I knew what.
“Nice try, baby. Now, I have you for the week. Alone.”
Chapter FourAshira’s POV“Bye, Mom! I will be back after a week!” my son cheered as he waves at us.I waved back, my lips trembling as I try to smile.Seth was on his wolf form and Quillon was riding on his back with a backpack. Aiden assigned five fighters for protection and five trackers for the mission Seth needed to do.I watched them galloping away and the moment they are far, Aiden’s arms quickly snaked on my waist, pulling me closer.Clearing my throat, I moved away from him and headed to the house. Aiden sighed behind me as he follows.“Ashira.” he calls, I did not turned to look at him. “There is no point to stay mad.”I hissed. I know! And its more maddening that it is!Walking with heavy feet, I went to the kitchen and try to make myself busy by cleaning the dishes we
Chapter FiveAshira’s POVI arrived at the Ancestral with loud thuds inside my chest, my heart is hammering like crazy!My face stayed serious, and I’m trying hard to hide the bothered feeling I’m suffering with.Aiden is home and I can smell his faint scent from the outside. Upon entering the front door, his scent became clear and strong.My neck snapped to the left and my sight find Aiden sitting on the sofa. His elbow are rested on his folded knees.His eyes looked at mine upon my entrance and my breath hitched.I don’t know what to say but I feel like I should say something.“I-I went to the Hall.”Aiden’s golden-brown eyes looked at me with some shine I was not sure if he was mad or amused. I pursed my lips and my toe tapped on the floor twice when h
Chapter SixAshira’s POVI feel calm but my heart is in chaos. Calm, because I know Aiden is with me and my child is not home. In case of any trouble, Quillon will be safe. In chaos, because… this presence is different from all of the wolf I’ve encountered.Aiden opened the door and both of us is in full guard.I gasped when I saw who is standing at our front yard. There’s only one… person… there.“Who are you?” Aiden asked as he stands in front of me in a protective way.The person looked… I don’t know if its a woman or a man, the way it was dressed… it was hard to say.It’s hair was long, too long that its face are covered by the compressed, thick strands. I can only see a part of its chin, which was too white like no blood is flowi
Chapter SevenAshira’s POV“Mommy!”I stretched my arms to welcome my cute child running towards me.I blinked and Quillon was suddenly in front of me. “Oh.” I was surprised for a moment because of that.“You missed me, Mommy!” he stated and I chuckled from that.“Yes, baby, of course! Did you had fun?”“Quillon.” Aiden’s serious voice called out.My son let go of our hug and faced Aiden who’s now standing behind me.“Daddy.” my son greeted in a pinched tone.Aiden must have seen Quillon used his power in the broad sight.“I’m sorry, Daddy.” Quillon was quick to realize what Aiden meant. His lips pursed so cute as his eyes looked at me for a second. “I missed Mommy so mu
Chapter EightAshira’s POV“Should I believe this guy?” my face creased upon looking at Sethurias and his huge, clown-like grin.“Ouch? Ash, I’ve been working beside you for so long and you don’t trust me still?” he pouted that made me scoffed. His act is so obvious that it makes my eyes roll!“I did, and you broke the trust first, Gamma.”“I think you should take off that smug look in your face, Seth.” Aiden suggested on the side while having that playful smile on his face.Well, yeah. I’m kinda playing around with Seth so he would, first: tell the whole truth, and second: so he will avoid to keep more secrets from me in the future.Seth was quick to change his grin into pout then to a serious expression. The transition is amazing and als
Chapter NineAshira’s POVThe days were fast and quick as it swayed by.Nothing dangerous are on radar and so far, my son isn’t trying to push his luck in going back to Ravenous pack. Maybe Quillon is giving it a rest in trying to go in the other world he talks about.Even though Aiden and I didn’t stop talking about it, we managed to let it pass for now. Aiden may be good at hiding his fatherly emotions but I know we are both bothered by it.But right now, we choose to trust our son.“Ashira?” Aiden called from outside our room.I turned and saw him on the doorway. His hand were rested on the wall as he looks at me.“Yes?” I walked to him.“I think Quillon succeeded.” he said in a monotone and my jaw dropped.Succeeded in what?! Did he
Chapter TenAshira’s POVAiden froze but only for a moment. He knelt on one knee and placed his hand on Quillon’s shoulder.Our son was breathing heavily as if he ran a thousand miles with his lips parted and almost trembling.“Take a deep breath first, Quillon.” Aiden said in a commanding voice and peaked a glance at me. I was lost, and my son’s words kept on ringing in my head.Did I heard him right?He saw my parents? This is impossible, right? I don’t even know where I came from and what my parents looked like.Aiden stood up and faced me while Quillon followed what his father told him, taking deep breaths over and over.“Hey.” he held my hand and gripped on it. “Are you okay? You look like you’ll pass out.”This is not true, r
Chapter ElevenAshira’s POV“So we are going to let him do as he please now? Just like that?” Nick burst.The morning started with a little meeting about pack related issues and now, we just announced to Nick and Seth that Quillon will go back and forth in this new world he discovered.“Yes, Nick. For the third time, yes.” Aiden sighed and leaned back to his chair. “Ashira and I had a talk with our son. As long as he asks permission before travelling in this newfound realm then we’ll let him.”“Permission to whom exactly?” Seth asks.I inhaled. “Any of the four of us. Once permission was asked to you, just make sure to communicate with us about it.”“Mind-link is enough.” Aiden cleared.“Communicate after confirmin
Chapter FifteenAiden’s POVNick came back to the office after an hour and a half but I didn’t gave him a hard time and ignored he was one hour late from his promised break.“I’ll call it a day.” I said and pushed myself up from the chair. Nick mumbled a happy okay. The beta has a great day, I guessed. Shaking my head, I exit my office and went straight to my car.‘I’m heading home. What are you up to?’ I asked Ashira in our portal which she replied fast by ‘Nothing. Be safe!’My thirst for my mate and her presence never ceased, more like it increases but never went less. On the other hand, I’m starting to feel like she ain’t feeling the same way I have.Though I’m not overthinking things. We’re bonded, there is no way that she will fell out of her love for me.As soon as my car was on park, I went inside. The scent of cooked meat and freshly-made bread lingered on my nose. My stomach churns and I realized my hunger.“Smells good, what are we having?” I yelled, marching to the kitchen
Chapter FourteenAshira’s POVA deafening silence enveloped around us that I swear I hear ringing in my ears from how bothersome it is. Aiden didn’t responded after I told him what’s not in Quillon’s body but I saw Nick and Seth stood on guard from afar. Aiden might have given them an order.‘Quillon, where’s your necklace?’I swear I hear my son’s nervous gulp and I fought myself not to sigh loud.Aiden talked to me before Quillon can.‘He must’ve dropped it somewhere on his way here. We’ll find it later, baby.’‘You know what’s troubling me right now, Aiden. It’s not just about the necklace being gone. The King is right here in front of us, for Pete’s sake!’‘Quill
Chapter ThirteenAshira’s POVEverything happened so fast. One minute, we’re in the home office nakedand the next, we’re in front of the Ancestral fully-clothed, and anxious. I stand behind Aiden, my body shaking, trembling. And I know it’s not because of the orgasms I had earlier.Quillon is not home yet, and we’re not sure what time he will come back. Seth and Nick came, standing on guard on both side. Nick’s on Aiden’s right and Seth’s on my left.The air forming into the Alpha King is almost done, having his feet is what finished it.“Ha.” Zeron, the Alpha King smiled with relief. “That took long, hmm, or did I.” he smirked, looking at us one by one.He is weird. I’d like to think that he’s right, that he m
The two guys are on their feet as long as they heard Aiden said the word ‘end’.“I have to practice with Kill now. Is he ready, Ash?” Seth asks.I nodded. “Yeah, he’s always looking forward to it and prepared himself right after breakfast.”“Make sure to keep your eyes open, Gamma. So you’ll see what I’m talking about--”Nick’s sentence was cut when Seth tapped hard on his back.“Just walk.” Seth tapped hard again“Ouch?”“Oh, it hurts? Good.” Seth smirked.“Nah, I’m imitating how you feel now that you know--Fucking hell, Seth! Stop! Yes, it hurts!”I was chuckling until the both of them exit the office door.“Those two got used to calling our son ‘Kill’, huh.” I said.Aiden’s hand touched the side of my waist and he stole my attention. My breath h
