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
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
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
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
