"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

Gus looked visibly shaken.Yet, he had no answer to my question."Is Titan really going to war against Colossus Gus?" I prodded, getting uneasy with the silence that followed my question."Where did you hear such a thing Ava?" He finally spoke up, but instead of having an answer to my question, he replied with another question of his."Words do travel fast you know," I shrugged, waiting patiently for an answer. Gus let out another sigh. "We are not going to war with any pack Ava," he finally let out. "Although, it is true that there are talks circulating about Colossus planning on going to war against us,"I was sure my facial expression gave off a very scared look as Gus promptly corrected himself. "They are merely rumors Ava, nothing has been confirmed yet."I nodded, trying my best to look calm, however there was a hailstorm going on inside me."You're safe here Ava. Nothing will happen to you and if anyone wants to get to you, they have to get through Alpha, me," His grin was wid

Aiden was staring at me with a tired expression that spoke volumes of how he did not want to indulge me with the happenings of Titan land. His long and warm fingers massaged his temple as he continued to stare at me. "Go on Aiden." I prodded. "But first, have a seat. You look like you would pass out in the next seconds." And for the first time today, he listened to me as he got himself settled on my bed. I forced myself not to think of the last time he was on my bed, while my cheeks heated up at the memory. I cleared my throat as I waited for the reluctant man to speak the fuck up. "Aiden?" I continued to prodd. His tired eyes were pleading as they assessed me. "Do we really have to do this Ava?" I nodded almost too quickly and impulsively, I walked further to where he sat, looking all tired and worn out on my bed. I did not know what possessed me, but I felt this sudden urge to offer Aiden comfort. It came like second nature. Even as my hands rested on his slumped, broad shoulde

Stepping into Aiden's home office was like being hit with bouts of deja Vu. It felt like eons had passed since I last visited the place. And even as I took in everything before me, I surmised without doubt, that the place had gone through a thorough change.The once dusty and cramped up space looked so spacious as it let in fresh air constantly into the room. The thick and dark draperies were pulled to the side, revealing a floor to ceiling glass window that did more than a terrific job at serving a beautiful view of a part of Titan land's plantation.The thick chairs were arranged in an aesthetic fashion that looked more like a spot for a friendly gathering instead of a meeting between an Alpha and his guards. It was cosy like that and I knew that only Aiden would pull off a cosy yet sophisticated.With an easy smile stretching my lips wide, I took in his mahogany desk. The same desk that had looked disorganized and scattered with torn papers the last time I had been in this very sam

"So..." I began, pen fixed between my digits. "Tell me about Calypso." I inquired, hovering the top of the pen over the blank space under the name Calypso."Calypso has been an ally of Titan right from the days of my great grand parents." Aiden informed, while I jotted necessary informations down. "They are skilled fighters and have never lost a battle for over a thousand years. There main source of income is oil exportation and this sets them off as the frontiers of power amongst other Packs."I nodded after jotting down. "Okay... This all seems to fit in the pros list. On the flip side, what are they like?"Aiden thought for a moment. "They have not been that receptive after the new change in power." He said simply.Curious, I asked. "Why?""The Alpha of Calypso is old and a bit stuck in the past. I believe it would be a bit of a stretch if we ask for his

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

"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 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
