Aiden’s POV
“How did this happen?” A deep growl escaped my chest along with intensified wrath from my wolf. It’s taboo to attack a pack under peace treaty and this was unexpected even for me.
We’re running fast towards the North where an intrusion was reported. Nick follows behind me, trying to keep up.
The fighters were alerted and they’re on their way as well. My beta and I will be way ahead of them though.
“I don’t know. I was informed that some Ravenous wolves attacked the guards of the North border.”
I gritted my teeth.
What does Elon wants now?
I’m concluding that he’s starting a war but I can’t think of any reason of what might pushed him to do this.
We’re still under the bond of a treaty. Starting a war with me right now means letting every
Chapter 44-CMAAshira’s POV“That’s heartless.” I commented.Nick and Seth was talking about what had happened and I was petrified by what Elon did to his wolves. He freaking killed his own family! And for what?! I haven’t met theguy but I can tell that he’s out of sanity!The two were discussing that what happened seemed like a scheme but they can’t point any possible reason for Elon to commenceit.But for me, even if that was a play or those wolves did in-surge against their Aplha, Elon had no right to take a lifeeasily like that!“Hewas keepingsomething. I bet he planned that attack and wanted to cameclean.” Nick concludes.I scoffed. “He shouldn’t be an Alpha. He’s staining a very respectful title&nb
Chapter 45: On his spotAshira's POV"No stray thoughts since last night." Aiden said observantly as he looked at me. He was not smiling but a bit of joy is what I read on thosegolden-brown eyes.He’s relieved and so am I. Who would want some wandering thoughts without consent? Not me.Itisthe morning of the day Aiden liked and hatedthe most.The peace treaty between our pack and Ravenous pack has expired, that's a favor on his part. And he hates that he'll renew the oath at midnight.If he wanted to be selfish, a war with Elon is suffice for his personal gratification. My respect in him continues to grow whenever he put his pack first in every decision."Thanks God." I replied with a bright grin on my face. "Wait, weren't you supposed to be at the Hall? Its a busy day."He snorted. "Nick was always in-charge when it comes tothe tre
Chapter 45.5: On his Spot 2Ashira’s POV“What are you doing?”I turned to Aiden and my forehead creased when I saw his dark irritated expression. My hands that holdsthe hem of my shirt freeze from taking the fabricoff asI try to analyze the meaning of Aiden’s moving jaw.He was so excited a few seconds ago and now he looked angryat something I can’t think of. Wow. This guy’smood transition is fascinating at times.“Getting ready to shift?” I said,reluctantif I did something wrong.“You’re not taking your clothes off. Let it shatter and shift. Now.” He ordered.I scoffedand rolled my eyes. “Aiden, no one-”“You won’t need your clothes on
Chapter 46: On his Spot s3xAshira’s POVI bit my lip and dipped my body lower in the water in a slow, careful way. His eyes strongly reflects his desire and his command was send straight to the bond between us.I can’t help getting dizzy from the haze of heat I felt. Loving every inch of the tingling feeling he sent just by eyeing me.“Come here, Ashira.” he repeats, slightly leaning forward which intensify the emotions on his eyes.I gulped.“I-I’m e-enjoying the water-”“Never mind, then. I’ll come to you.” he said, paying less attention with what I was saying.My lips parted lightly as I watched him get on his feet, his eyes didn’t blink as he kept its contact with mine.In front of me stands a perfectly chiseled bare chest. Th
Chapter 47: Oh MyAiden’s POV‘Aiden.’I was about to walk down the to the basement when Nick reached my mind. The tone in my Beta’s voice made me halt my steps, he’s troubled about something and it sounded important to me.‘Any problem?’I asked, jumping to the point. Nick have this side where he kept taking the long road before saying what the problem is. And I know there’s a problem.‘I need you at the hall. Are you available right now?’See what I mean? I sighed and looked down the stairs. The talk with Zynia could wait.‘I’ll be there.’I turned and went to where my truck was parked, sliding on the driver’s seat and switching the engine on.
Chapter 48: WarAiden’s POV‘Stay close, no one will fight alone!’My black wolf stands proud along with my pack of wolves. Nick’s brown wolf stands on my right, completely on guard. We were scattered in the middle of the land. I let the guards stoop down their positions at the border, giving chance for Ravenous wolves to enter the land and start their attack. But I kept guards around the community for the safety of our females and pups.My pack is way stronger. In strength and in number. They don’t stand a chance to us. Elon shouldn’t have dared to.Ashira’s safe with Seth and Zeke at the Ancestral. I assigned fighters around the house for her protection, too. Though I knew Seth could handle it well, not to mind, but Zeke adds with-&l
Chapter 49: Stolen MateNick’s POVI watched Aiden and he is terrifying and deadly to look at right now. We just arrived at the Ancestral after taking care of Seth. Seth has almost died, and the pack doctor said that its thanks to what Z gave him, he survived death. Ava is now by Seth’s side so I left with Zeke but was met by this sight of Aiden.Zynia told us about Ashira being taken by Elon and the probability that she will be stolen from Aiden from being his mate.And from how I see Aiden right now, I don’t think its right to have a talk with him yet. I can feel that another war will come but far from the childish war Alpha Elon started.I don’t think Aiden will go easy on him now.“Nick, to the office, now.”I watched Aiden stood up from where he was seated and I nodded
Chapter 50: Time ApartAiden’s POVI can feel the process of losing my shit every fucking minute.My wolf howls and cries inside me and I kept controlling my mind in order to stop joining him. Though I’m dying. Inside, I’m burning with a heat that is not from a haze but with immediate immobilization and death.‘Get my mate baaack!!!’‘Shut up! Shut the fuck up!’‘I’ll kill that old man, I’ll kill anyone who’ll get in our way. Get her back!’We could. That’s possible. I’m not scared of dying, I never was. I want her back, I need to save her. I got to save Ashira.I ran my fingers through my hair. I’ve been in our bedroom, waiting, thinking, what am I doing here? I should save her.&lsquo
Chapter 62:Aiden’s POV“Is everything alright? What happened back there earlier? You scared us.” Nick said.Ashira is now resting as well as Quillon. This is a long night and Ashira gave birth easily and faster than expected.“Yes. Nothing was wrong. Go to Zynia and ask her to come in my office. I’ll head there and wait for her.”Nick looked confuse and I know he have a lot of question in his head but I can’t disclose this to anyone yet. I will soon, I know.I didn’t wait for Nick to say more and turned to go inside the office. It’s not too long and Zynia came knocking.“Alpha Aiden.” she greeted.“Please close the door, Z.” I asked and she did. “Take a seat.”I grabbed a glass and wine for us, giving her t
Chapter 61:Ashira’s POVIn spite of Nick’s motivation and hard work to held a pack party, he succeeded. After three days of preparation, the party is ongoing tonight at the pack’s clearing.Nick insisted for a wild party so he picked a bonfire theme in the heart of the Prime’s forest where booze and feast are served. I sat in the man-made stage together with the officials of the pack, and Aiden beside me.The pack people has started eating, drinking and dancing. Everything is so peaceful and they are fun to watch.“I got bored with this loud get-together.” Seth said out of the blue. He does look bored as he sip on his drink. Ava chuckled beside him.“You’re just no fun!” Nick said as he bob his head with the music. “Having a mate made you guys no fun!!!&rdq
Chapter 60Ashira’s POV“Just shift when the time has come… Please.”My tears pooled down my cheek. I don’t want to show him that I feel pity for him, I know that’s the least thing he needed to see. But its too painful for me to see him like this…“B-But I want to be the first one to hold him…”“You can still do that even on your wolf.” he responded, wiping the tears on my cheek.“But its different.” I pushed him and he didn’t resist this time. I looked him in the eyes and noticed that his eyes are red. He looked so soft, far from how he is and it pained me to know that I made him this way. If it ain’t for me, he wouldn’t feel like this.I tiptoed and pressed my forehead to his. Aiden’s hand easily gu
Ashira’s POVHave you ever felt waking up with a feathery feeling? I can feel like my body was flying in the air as if I don’t weight at all. It’s… so light. I feel so light.“It’s been three days. Why isn’t she waking up?”Aiden? Why is his voice so hoarse and tired? Did Nick stopped helping him out with the pack works and he was loaded with the job?I can feel a familiar warmth on my palm. I know this hand. I know every inch and warmth of this big hands. Suddenly, I feel like my hand was micro-sized in between his.“Have we been tricked?”That’s Seth. Tricked of what?Hey, why can’t I open my eyes? I feel light but too lazy to even open my eyelids?‘No. Please no. Come back to me, baby.’I sweat that was Aiden’s voice reaching me through our portal. I have hea
Chapter 58.5Aiden’s POV“I expected you to, Aiden.” said the Alpha King Zeron. “I will give you time to discuss this matter with your mate. I’ll be back in an hour and meet you and your Luna at this serene place.”Discuss this with Ashira? Should I…?“One last question, Your Highness, if I may.” I bowed my head to him as my jaw tightens. I didn’t gave it a thought to discuss this matter with Ashira, I know she will not like it because of the current state of her mind right now.She don’t believe me or anyone. She might think I’m the one who’s stealing her.“Of course, my brave wolf.”I looked up and saw him and his eyes smiling again. I’m beginning to think that when he tries to control his annoyance, he does that
Chapter 58: The Alpha King’s OfferAshira’s POVI never saw the Alpha King in person, no one does. And seeing him now, his aura full of… darkness and power, I feel my knees trembled.As if I snapped in my own thought, I bowed my head like Aiden did.“A-Alpha King.” I uttered in a trembling voice. He didn’t even do anything to scare us but I feel this way…“At ease, my wolves. I’m not here for harm, as I’ve said, I’m here to help.” his voice really makes everyone who heard it shake. I get it that his power is beyond anyone because of the combination of wolves of all continent under his reign but experiencing it right now in flesh is just too surreal.We lifted our heads and I was welcomed by an oceanic blue eyes. I haven’t seen eyes like t
Chapter 57.5: Arrival of the King (Part Two)Ashira’s POVTwo weekshad passed.I recovered a little from the pain of losing my mate. I got the hang of living in this pack and being with their Alpha, Aiden. He come and go from time to time but not a single day has passed that he don’t visit.We talk. I still hate him but we talk. I don’t know why I feel different when he is around. Its not a light feeling, I can feel my chest twisting with pain and wrath but something in me whispers that I enjoy his company.During daylight, I feel fine. Coping. Better. Not until the dark comes.I still cry whenever a picture of Elon pops out of my head but it often happens at night and it deprives me of having enough sleep. At bed time, I use all thoughts I have to think. And it
Chapter 57: Arrival of the King (Part One)Aiden’s POV*Slap!*I don’t mind the sting I felt on my face but Ashira’s slap also struck my heart with an intolerable pain. I was stunned and unable to move from where I stood, even my face won’t tilt back and my eyes has feared seeing her current expression.“You can’t fool me!”Even her voice has a hint of pain in it that my chest felt heavy and clenched. I tried talking to her about the truth again today. She has rested and slept outdoors last night and I let her be, trying not to distract her.I watched her sleep from far.I waited for her to wake up, asked someone to bring her some food. She ate. A little. But she was still dozing off and now she is crying. Mad, angered, lonely, and hurt. That is all I cou
Chapter 56: Stole youAiden’s POV“How dare you to come near me?” Her voice is trembling but I heard the hate and anger in it with clear emphasis.I never thought that the sparkling eyes I adored will ever look at me like this. Like I’m a monster. Like I shouldn’t even exist.Can’t she feel our bond at all?My mind is puzzled, its breaking apart. This situation is dreading, and the lack of solution or cure for Ashira’s case had increases the frustration I feel that leads to a building sense of lost on my part. The pain in my chest was the last thing I have on the list, or so I tried.Because if I don’t and just let myself get drowned from every sting I felt in my soul, I won’t be able to function. At all.“This is my pack.I make the rules.”
