His lips crushed into mine as he put his weight on me. We lay flat on the bed with his body on top of mine. I moaned in between our lips as Aiden deepened the kiss, hungry for more.
I can feel my body trembled with his every touch, feeling the ecstatic sensation that's flowing from the contact of our skin.
"Aiden..." His name came out of my lips in a whisper when he let go of the kiss. His arms support his weight to watch me beneath him. Those golden brown eyes scream possession, desire, and intensity.
His gaze moved down to my neck, to where he put his claim.
"It looks good on you." He whispered, then he trailed his fingers on the fresh wound that made me close my eyes.
"You shocked me though." I gave him a weak smile, it's true. He just barged inside my room and decided to claim me in an instant. I did not prepare myself for the pain but I'm glad it's not too painful.
"I'm sorry." He then put his weight on top of me and nuzzled my neck. Gi
Ashira's POVA heavy arm on my stomach woke me up the next morning. I fell asleep last night after a few hours when Aiden left, and did not notice the time he came back.I saw Aiden's face as I opened my eyes. His eyes are shut as he lay sideways beside me with arms resting above my stomach.He slept in my room.Feeling the urge to use the bathroom, I moved his arm away slowly, avoiding to wake him. But before I could succeed, a pair of golden-brown eyes met with mine."Hey..." I whispered to him.He snuggled me closer to him, burying his face on my neck.He inhaled my scent before speaking. "It feels good to wake up beside you." his voice is hoarse.I giggled at his words."Good morning to you too."He chuckled and sighed before laying down on his back and looked at the ceiling.This morning felt warm and had something into it. Different from the other mornings I woke up from before.
A car pulled in front of the entrance. I was in my room upstairs when I saw it as I catch the scent of Ava in it. There's no deep friendship between me and Ava but I liked her honestly from the first time we met until when the night I last saw her.She can be happy when she is. Or cry when she's sad, like at the party. I adore that side of her.'Your friend is here, Luna.'Aurea said in my mind."Alright!" I shouted as I ran with inhuman speed to the ground floor. Aurea is already at the door when I reached there and she slowly opened it, making me stopped abruptly.She gave me a small smile when I started fixing my clothes that became messy when I ran. I'm wearing pants and a loose top from when I showered after talking with Lucy.When I went out of the door, the car is already leaving and Ava was looking around the house. I can't blame her to be fascinated with Aiden's home, I am too. It's ancestral but with a few touch of renovatio
Everything happened so fast. Seth runs upstairs with inhuman speed and barge into Ava's room.I was about to follow after him when Aiden stopped me, he held my waist tight that I'm steadied in my feet. I looked up at his face and he shook his head twice."They're mates. He won't harm her." Aiden assures me.I heard Ava's scream but not entirely from pain, pleasure is mixed in it. Seth must have claimed her the moment he came upon her. A faint scent of blood lingers in my nose, then I know I was right. Seth claimed Ava.Aiden and I kept standing for minutes. Nick is now on the couch again, scrolling through his phone like nothing was happening. Aurea keeps preparing the table. I guess I'm the only one who is bothered by the sudden event."Does he have a mate?" I whispered to Aiden and nod my head towards Nick's direction.Aiden chuckled and kissed my temple. "Luck is not yet on his side, baby." there's a mocking tone in his voice that made Ni
Aiden's POVEvery thought I had started fading from the moment I taste her lips.I was hesitant at first, not planning to rush completing the process of mating but whenever Ashira's this close to me in a secluded room, just the two of us, all I wanted is to praise her body with my mouth.My thirst for sex subsides when I put my claim on her. Sure, my wolf is now calm and confident that she belonged only to me but when I'm with Ashira, I always feel the need to release my heat. The difference from before I met her is that my body only called for her. I only want her.I mounted above her without breaking the kiss. My cock is growing big and hard every second that I'm kissing her. Hell, just being with her, my member always reacts the same!She groaned when my mouth left hers, only to moan when I started tasting the skin on her neck. Licking and biting on her sensitive flesh. My mouth traveled down just above her full breast, cutting
'Someone is nervous.'I growled to my wolf as she teased me. She's been doing that for a while now. I was blocking my emotions and only she can feel me, not letting Aiden notice my uneasiness.We're inside his black GMC Hummer EV along with Nick and Seth. Ava couldn't come with us because Seth's parents wanted to bond with her, I tried forcing her but decided to let her go.Nick was driving while Seth is in the seat next to him. Aiden and I sat on the back, my arm encircled with him as his hand is rested on my legs.It took me a great effort to block my feelings and arguing with my wolf, trying hard for Aiden to not take notice that I'm nervous.We arrived at the first house and were greeted by a woman in her late twenties. There are dark circles below her swollen eyes. She must've been crying this whole time."Alpha." she bowed her head down, giving respect to Aiden as she saw him. Her eyes turned to me and inhaled. She bowed her hea
"Ash? What's wrong?" Seth turned to me when he noticed that I made a full stop. My knees began shaking and I can feel my stomach turning as anxiety eats my half.My breathing heavied and I can hear my heartbeat right in my ears. Drumming fast and loud. My wolf whines and prays that I shouldn't go inside, she's afraid to lose her mate tonight.'Are you okay? Why are you scared?'I jumped when I heard Aiden on my mind. I guess he's still in the office and the wolf-proof room didn't stop the mate's bond from flowing my emotions to him.I embraced myself and started calming down. I should block my feelings to stop it from going through him. Once I succeeded, I responded to him.'I'm fine. I almost tripped, that's all.'I lied. The second time. It's necessary at the moment to lie to him or else he'll bust out of that room and might witness what is about to happen. I can't deny my responsibility for the pack, this is the first ti
I was laying on my bed and Aiden didn't bother to follow me after I stormed out of his room. That made me mad even more.I can feel my wolf crying inside, angry with what I had done. She wanted to be with our mate tonight. I ignored her and recalled what had happened.The argument I had with Aiden burns the conscience inside me. I didn't intend for it to turn that way but I got swayed by my outrage. However, his reaction was necessary and rude.He could have told me that he disagrees with what I said. It's not like I needed him to agree, I'm just trying my luck at chances.Then he raged his fury to me like I'm not his mate! That angered me too much that I can still see red until now.I intend to talk about Titus' case and if he won't agree then he could have told me, not to the extent that he'll use his power over me just to prove his position.I keep playing over and over my head what had happened and once I'm tired of thinking about it, I
"Do you think Aiden changed his mind?"Seth's question is the same as mine. I don't know what happened but Aiden didn't talked about it earlier and all I know was that I can't meddle with his order as the Alpha. We agreed on that point already so I'm not sure what's happening right now.But why is Titus thanking me if he hadn't receive a great news? Which I can think none other than his position gave back to him."Can you call him again?" I asked Seth and sat on a chair beside where he was seated. He nodded then shifted to pick his phone in his pocket and dialed a number. I can sense his breathing stopped when the first ring was heard."It's ringing." he said and handed me the phone. I took it quickly and put it on my ears. I'm not sure what I'll say but it's clear that I want information from him. My hand is slightly trembling as I wait for him to answer.A few rings and Titus picked up the call."Hey again.""Titus, it's me." I said
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.”
