"Did I stop you?"
He shook his head. "Not really." Came his vague answer as he offered me a smile. "I have to shif- do something before heading out."
I didn't miss the words he tried not to say.
"You were about to shift?" I boldly asked and his eyes widened in what seemed like a second at my words.
"You know about us shifting?"
I almost rolled my eyes. "Of course Aiden. There are over thousands of books and movies about werewolves in the world, everyone knows that werewolves shift, although I don't know if everything in those fictional works are real."
He nodded, before snorting. "Most of t

When I was a child, I always wondered what it would feel like to experience magic. I also wondered severally, if magic or anything akin to it, really does exist.As a Potter head also, I had my own share of supernatural fantasies. So bad that during Halloween, my parents would indulge me with Harry Potter costumes, the full package.Growing up, I let go of such fantasies and dreams to face reality. I had told myself that there was really nothing to this world other than factual science theories and the reality I was seeing.However, watching Aiden in Wolf form before me, his dark fur glowing softly under the spray of the Moon's light, I knew my long forgotten dream had been found.I could feel bubbling excitement course through my veins, I felt giddy and baffled, but in a good way."What now?" I asked excitedly as I looked at Aiden's huge and imposing Wolf f

We got to a clearing that made way to a big tree that looked like it was on top of a hill.Its large and wide branches covered the whole hill and the full Moon looked like it was directly above the tree, sending down its rays. I was awestruck at the sight before me."Wow!" I let out. Lost and trying to find the right words to describe the sight before me. "It's beautiful!" I let out again.Aiden stopped, then turned to face me as if he was concurring with what I just said. He continued walking the short distance from where we stood to the top of the hill.Once atop, there was a small clearing of carpet grass that gathered like a small blanket under the large tree.I watched Aiden make himself comfortable on the clearing as he laid down like he has been doing it all his life. Even as he was not standing, he still was large and commanding authority. However, that wasn'

"Oooh, you look so pretty this morning Ava!" I turned to see Layla's gorgeous self, dressed in what looked like white cashmere with a pretty blue jean. She looked casual but chick, unlike her work clothes which were usually pant suits and dress shirts.I grinned. "Thank you Layla. You look great too. No work today?"Her smile mirrored mine. "Thanks love. I have my day off today!" Two of us began making our way downstairs. "So," Layla began. Eyes glinting curiously. "Today a special day or what? You look too good to just be heading downstairs for breakfast Ava."I felt my cheeks heat up at her words. "Not really. I just felt like dressing up a little."Layla nodded as we began descending down the spiralling stairway. "Hmmn. You don't have any plans for today asides lectures and Soul kitchen?""Yeah." I replied. Layla's grin was wide as she clapped her hands together with glee. "Great! Since we both got time, why don't we make today girl's day out," she suggested and that had me per

My morning lectures and reading session went faster than usual much to my disbelief and before I knew it, I was done for the day with nothing left to do.And since sweet old Freya had asked me to not clock in before my shift, I was so bored that it was bordering on frustration.I tried to sleep away the idleness and boredom. But you know, what we wish for isn't always what we get.Then there was Aiden. The mere thought of the breakfast he had made this morning had me smiling like a fool. I could still envision how he looked in that black apron, lean muscles showing deliciously, while they contrasted at his every movement. I knew he was at home and it wouldn't take me a minute to find his handsome ass in his home office.But I couldn't just risk disturbing him since I saw Asher and the rest of the guards, Gus included, heading for his office. They must have tons to discuss.Letting out a frustrated sigh, I sat up, peeking a glance at the wall clock that was just beside my floor length

And still, it hasn't faded.A week later, I was still as drawn to Aiden physically as I was drawn to his emotional side.I watched Aiden's handsome face while he worked with intent and concentration as he pulled out packaged containers which I knew were undeniably, edibles, on the space before us. And immediately, the stomach teasing aroma of spices, herbs and food filled my nostrils, making me to involuntarily salivate."Hmmn," I let out an encouraging moan. "Smells delicious."Aiden flashed me a heart swelling smile as he nodded. "It should."I sat, with anticipation etched on my skin and my face as he unwrapped all the plates.Aiden after spreading out every single food he prepared on the blanket, helped me with a good serving of a bit of everything."Thank you!" I grinned cheekily as I took the plate from him.He returned my smile. "Enjoy."Nodding, I stared dreamily at my stacked plate. "Oh yes, I will."

His admission had me melting into soft goo.The softness that laced his tone when he talked about his family. And the way his eyes became so tender like he was reminiscing a distant but happy memory."It must have felt nice." I said with a smile."Of course." He nodded. "Lory used to cook up her usual storm with the intention of stuffing us full and we will gather here under the full moon, all wolfed out and just have a quality time."His story sounded so similar to mine.When it was just Dad, Mom and I. Camping out on our rooftop while sipping hot chocolate, marshmallows and just being happy. Oh, those happy days."Is it okay?" I blurted out."Is what okay love?"I took in a long breath before I spoke. "Bringing me to a place that holds precious memories of your family?"His laugh was light and melodious to my ears. "I don't mind Ava." Was his simple response as his eyes glowed with warmth. "Besides, I love

It was past midday and my day couldn't get any better.After my date with Aiden earlier in the day, I was feeling good as hell. It felt like my day had taken a new turn for the better. Even Freya had chipped in that I walked with a bounce in my step and the best part hadn't even began yet. Whistling a tune below my breath, I quickly made for the counter as requested by Freya, since Soul Kitchen was having a pretty crowded day."Hi girls," I let out in a singsong voice as I saw Poppy and Kate in their usual mood. Deep in conversation. I swear this two could give a radio station a run for their money."Hey girl." Kate smiled."Hi Ava," Poppy waved shyly in her usual way, while I flashed her an easy smile."Busy day huh? How is it going?"Kate let out a dramatic sigh. "Is it just me or did everyone on Titan land grow a second stomach." She let out another sigh, causing Poppy and I to let out giggles. "The orders won't stop coming.""Ummm," Poppy began. "Isn't that like, a good thing?""

"Who told you that?" I couldn't help but blurt out, her words still holding me in shocking grasp. "Where did you hear such a thing Maya?"She sniffled as she looked up to take in my face. "Everyone at school is talking about going to war." She supplied. "They are saying that Titan would soon go to war with Colossus." Then bursted out crying again, this time, she was sobbing audibly. "Maya dear, look at me." I pleaded. "No one is going to war," I tried to assure , but she shook her head to disagree."And even if we do," I continued. "No harm will come your way. The Alpha and all the strong guards will make sure you are safe.""But there is only much that they can do." She almost wailed. "Wolves like me end up dead in wars everywhere!""Who said such a thing to you Maya!""Nobody told me," this time, she tuned down on her sobbing. "I know Ava. I cannot protect myself, I will always be dependent on other people and when they can't protect me, what will I do?"Not knowing what to say, I t

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." A Raven haired beauty

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
