Wide eyed, I stared at the equipments in his hand. "How... How did they know that we were in need of those?"
Aiden let out a chuckle at the look on my face. A sound that went straight to my body, warming me up.
"I mind-linked Lory." He stated simply.
I wasn't getting the grasp if everything. "You mind-linked Lory? What's that?"
He grinned as my expression became more animated with curiosity. "It's a Wolf thing love. Every pack member's mind is connected to the Alpha and vis versa for emergency situation and oh well, situations like this too."
I was stunned and impressed by his words. "So, it helps you people communicate faster?"
He nodded. "Yes."
"Awesome!" I exclaimed, eagerly moving closer to him like a child drawn to a candy store. "Are there other things Werewolves can do too?"

By the time I was done with my last lecture for the day, the once quiet house was buzzing with good natured noise.Curious and bored of being by myself, I switched my comfortable clothes which was a sweat pants and tank top which I wore after taking a quick shower when I and Aiden had put the office in a conducive shape and changed to something presentable.By something presentable, I meant one of my newest skinny jeans and an emerald crop-top.I reddened as I remembered Aiden's comment of green being my color since it matched my eye color and brought out it's beauty.I snapped sense into my brain.After our conversation at the office which started off as light and friendly to straight up awkward, we had continued working in silence.Honestly, I didn't know how to act around him. It was like everything we said always came back to talks about mates and that was awkward as hell.Walking by the floor length mirror in my room, I noticed my hair was an image of a poorly crafted bird nest.

I looked at Aiden whose glare was drilling holes into Asher's skull. "Oh, I didn't know."Gus clicked his tongue from where he stood beside me. "That's because Alpha didn't want you to know. He loves being the mysterious one all the time."We all laughed as Aiden and Asher both reached for Gus who let go of me to run for safety.Sarla shook her head in amusement. "They never will grow up." She waved at me. "Hi Ava."I smiled at her. "Sarla. You look lovely." Her eyes were lined neatly and beautifully in a way that couldn't go unnoticed."Thank you. Your blouse looks so lovely Ava." Sarla was quick to notice from where she was snuggled against Ben."Thank you Sarla."She smiled shyly, taking Ben's big hands into hers.I returned her smile, loving the way Ben's arm was protectively around her. They made a really good looking couple."Ava." Ben nodded, an act I guessed was his way of acknowledging people."Hello Ben."I turned to the rest of the guys with Aiden, Asher and Gus still playi

"What did he tell you?" I immediately asked Gus who was still snickering when I walked back to where he stood.Gus shrugged, still smiling cheekily. "Just his usual threats which I'm already immune and used to."I laughed. "You guys must be close."He nodded. "I guess. But not like he is with Asher, his Beta."We passed and older couple who waved at us. "You are close to Asher too?""Yes of course." He replied like it was obvious. "Asher is my elder brother."I paused on my track. "For real?"Had I been so oblivious or were they really not alike in anyway?While Asher was all serious and stiff, Gus was cheerful and friendly. I never could have made the connection.But when I stared at Gus. I could see the resemblance there. His dirty blonde hair, which was almost similar to Ashe

Gus led me into a colorful building that reminded me of the eateries at the city.Outside, right at the top of the building was a pretty sign that read, Soul food. Immediately, the smell of spices, beef and flour caressed my nostrils and going right to my stomach. I felt my stomach rumble and a hunger I didn't realize was there, reared up it's head. I was salivating like I'd been starved for centuries.I swallowed. "Wow. Temptation has never felt so real."Gus laughed. "My dear, this is the reason why I left home."I turned to face him. "You don't live here in Titan?"He nodded, his eyes searching around. "No I don't, I'm here for the state of emergency. Mom basically makes me fatten up like a priced cow.""Priced cow? Really child?" A voice interrupted us, causing me to look up.An older but attractive woman stood before us, her silky blonde hair held in a tight bun while an apron was tied around her.You couldn't miss the res

Gus was back, a playful but annoyed look gracing his face. "Are you done chopping the onions Gus?" Freya asked, looking behind him to check who was Manning the place she just left. He grumbled, plopping beside me. "Yes ma. Can't you have other workers do it? You have more than enough of them, yet you still want me in the kitchen." Freya kissed her teeth. "That's to teach you that you can't outgrow kitchen work boy." "But I'm a grown man ma!" He nothing but wailed, causing me to smile amusedly. Freya nodded, as if to confirm his statement. "I know. That's part of the plan too." He turned to look at my plate of food, his eyes widening in horror. "Mama! You can't stuff her with food!" "She's not complaining." Countered Freya which was very true. "And besides, she should eat alot. She's very skinny." I blushed under their scrutinizing gazes as I silently ate my food. "Right when I was human and now, I've alw

"I'm really not that good." I said quickly, flushing bashfully. "I'm just average in that department.""Nonsense Ava. Soul's kitchen has been looking for a baker for quite a while." She said eagerly. "Our former baker went backpacking with his mate so we are short of hands. Would you mind helping out here and of course, you will be payed dearly."The look on Freya's face was so hopeful that I didn't have the heart so say no.And I missed working part-time at Alfredo's.The pay, tips and customers were great, but it helped me take a little break from school works and my overflowing thoughts.I looked around the warm and cosy eatery. Its happy and welcoming atmosphere. I loved a place that housed warmth and didn't mind working there.I smiled at Freya and Gus' hopeful faces before nodding. "Sure I will."Fr

Aiden's hand was warm as he led me into the house once we returned from Soul Kitchen. You could hear the loud and furious beat of my heart. It filled my ears like a loud drum as his touch invaded my senses. The heat of his touch spread all over my body from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. I had never felt anything like it before. It was like he took a torch and lit my whole body on fire. My body was hot and soft and very much in need of special kind of attention. It didn't help that his hand has not left my body since we walked out of Soul Kitchen. For reasons only known to us, we had left Soul Kitchen right before Freya was about to serve Aiden his very favorite dish. It was like telepathy, the way we'd just stood up in sync. Aiden's hunger for food forgotten. Or was it something else? I was sure he could feel the things I was feeling at the moment. The instant pull and overwhelming liquid fire. He had said it himself. And

It felt like I was drowning in the force that was him. In the inebriating and sweet taste of him. The scent of his skin, wrapping me in a flurry of sense heightening bliss and in the pillow softness of his lips. It was ethereal, aeriform and too invigorating to be true. I had never felt anything like it. I felt heat pool at my core, making it ache with a sweet desire for more contact. The liquid fire settled there, craving for something so forbidden yet irresistibly good. Instinctively, my hands wrapped around his neck as a pleasurable moan I didn't know I could make left my lips. His hot and soft lips felt like velvety bliss against mine. When Aiden's teeth tugged at my bottom lips, willingly and without restraint, I opened to him and his tongue swept in like a wave on a seashore, exploring every corner of my mouth with a desperate need that drove me crazy and all I could do was tug at his silky soft hair, pulling him closer and closer, willing him to

It has been two days since the perimeter breach and the surprise response from Athinai set Titan land into rolling motion.The elite guards commenced their guard at all parts of Titan borders and went ahead to recruit more guards, which surprisingly, worked as there were more men and women every morning who willingly volunteered to be guards.The news on Poppy was positive, albeit, her attempt at recovery was slow, but the last time I saw her, her skin didn't look all that pale, however she still looked like she was deep in slumber. Ted on the other hand was less hostile, but hadn't uttered words of apology to Aiden or any other person and that was okay. We let him handle his grief his way.What was more interesting however, was that Titan land was on a roll in preparing a welcome feast for the Luna and said ruler of Athinai. Erin and Sarla had gushed about her, with extra emphasis on the fact that she never sided with any pack during war and was always ne

If terror hung in the air seconds ago, it was nothing compared to the chaotic mess that was Soul Kitchen at the moment.Ever since Ted, Poppy's boyfriend made his way into the diner and saw his girlfriend in a pale mess, he had totally lost it. Now, we watched on, with Freya and Kate still bawling their eyes out, as the elite guards tried to calm the raging teenager down."She's not dead Ted," Sarla's sweet voice tried to reason as Ben and Eric held the boy down. "She's going to be alright okay? Just calm down.""Were you all waiting for something to happen before you swing into action?" He sneered, before casting a glare Aiden's way. "Or will your useless asses wait for someone to die before the Alpha decides to take action!"Asher took a step forward at his words, but Aiden held him back. "I know you are grieving boy. However, I won't condole it if you talk brashly at the Alpha."Ted scoffed, his sandy blonde hair looking so dishevelled

"What?" I asked Aiden who had his eyes glued to my every move as he walked me to my shift at Soul Kitchen.The smile was still dancing on his lips as he took my hands into his, obliviously playing with my fingers. "We should do this often.""You mean go for long walks?" I asked, as he now swayed our hands back and forth.He paused, looking as if he was contemplating on my words. "That too. But I'm talking about visiting the beauty house."I nodded immediately, concurring with him while we shared a smile. "That is definitely a great idea."I loved moments spent with Aiden like this. Everything felt so normal. I'm not speaking about the fact that he is a Werewolf. I'm talking about the whole problem with Colossus or a possible rogue pack that is out for blood. The little time we spent together today has taken my mind off things, I hope it has done same for Aiden. Somehow, I don't even know how it started, but seeing Aiden happy also puts me in a good mood. It was like telepathy. If Aid

Whoever said having a massage was a vain thing, surely hasn't tried it before.I sat beside Aiden on a lounge chair at the waiting room of the clothing store, feeling like a big sack of jelly. Aiden on the other hand looked perfectly fine as he gazed at me with an amused expression.I guess he had perks of being a Werewolf and all that. However, this massage felt like one of the best things ever. I felt like every knot on my body has been loosened and my body was floating on air.I could feel no cramps and it felt like I had a good sleep on a very comfortable bed. My lingering headaches were gone and I hoped that Aiden got the same feeling too.The past week was very stressful for him and part of the reason why I suggested we get on the massage chair was because he really needed to de-stress."You feeling any changes in your body?" I asked as I took him in.He smiled, eyes not straying from mine as he nodded. "Definitely."We he

Meeting Aiden and coming to Titan land, there were two things I had learnt; life was sure full of surprises.I couldn't hold back my gasp as I stared at the sight before me. A building made totally of glass that wasn't translucent but was aesthetically pleasing, divided into segments that had colorful neon signs indicating what each segment was for.Above the tall building was a beautiful, silver carved sign that read. TITAN BEAUTY HOUSE.I couldn't stop myself from giggling as I felt giddy with excitement. I never knew a place like this existed in Titan land. It looked like something out of a Disney movie. Sparkling and really pleasing to the eyes."I like it!" I let out without being asked, while Aiden took my hands into his, once more."You haven't even seen the best part yet love." He assured as we made our way in.A fruity and refreshing smell greeted me as we walked in, which had me taking in a deep breath. It smelt like paradise in there."Good day Alpha."

My heart was still beating loudly as I stared at Aiden who was busy talking to one of the workers at the plantation.Did I get to have my long overdue tour of Titan? Yes.Did I get to talk about the toe curling kiss I shared with Aiden in his room moments ago? No.All I got was another toe curling smile that did not go easy with its effects on my heart and that darn line."I've been wanting to do that." Who says things like that after a toe curling, heartstring pulling kiss and just acts like nothing happened. Instead, he had taken my hand and had gone ahead to assure that he always kept his promise.Thus, here we are, the same place I had stood with Gus weeks ago. The only difference is that Aiden was being thorough. He was making sure that the patient farmer would answer my every question thoroughly.That was the least of my concerns though. The tight shirt accentuating his body had me salivating and the way his jeans hugged his ass. From my view, Aiden looked like he was carved an

I waited for what felt like eons in my room after grabbing a nice picnic basket and arranged cookies, fruits and drinks in them.Lory had figured out my plan even before I said a thing.I planned on making Aiden de-stress.This past week had been one hell of a ride for everyone on Titan, but especially for him. That was why I wanted to help him take his mind off Colossus, rogue packs or whatever it is that was stressing Titan.I didn't know my way around Titan that much. Only soul kitchen, the hackberry tree and the plantation Gus had shown. This time, I was going to use two stones for one bird. Get my very much awaited tour of Titan and get Aiden to de-stress.When I heard voices coming from the corridor, I knew that Aiden was done with the guards, so I waited for every one of them to finish leaving before I made my way to Aiden.After waiting for what felt like forever and no other sound was heard from the corridor, I made my way to

"I should go." I voiced once Asher left, probably to give Aiden and I space.Aiden shook his head, while his arms still held on to me. "You know you can stay right."I let out an amused laugh. "As much as I like being in your arms Aiden, I wouldn't like anyone listening to you address them while we are in this position."There wasn't a response for a bit till, "You like being in my arms?"Of course, I almost groaned. Of all things I said, that was all he heard."Say it again love. You love being in my arms?" I was already beetroot at the moment.Playfully, I struggled to free Aiden off me while his body began shaking as he chuckled, probably finding my bashfulness amusing."I want to hear you say it again, love." He teased, slowly releasing me as he took in my face.I scrunched my nose, trying but failing

It has been a week since Aiden and I sent out invites to the neighbouring Packs and yet, we haven't gotten any feedbacks.We were all bothered, especially Aiden. Try as he might, he always appeared cool and calculating in the presence of his Pack, always wearing the strong and assuring facade because he has to make his Pack feel assured that everything was under control.However, I knew that all was not well with Aiden. The run-ins on the people of Titan keep on increasing and so far, a lockdown has been placed. The elite guards with their soldiers were at alert all the time, making sure that all bounderies were secured and that the people of Titan were safe.I was in Aiden's home office as I tried to listen through the tiny speakers of my airpods, as my biology lecturer further explained the workings of human cells. I knew I was paying little to no attention to what he was saying. My mind was drifting to the man at the other side of the room who was wearing a s
