~Asher~ “So what are you going to do?” Ross voice interrupts my thinking earning a scowl from me. He kept on asking the same question for the past two days, and still got no response or reaction from me. I had a lot of thinking to do and anything that would help me get Jaden to acknowledge me would be much appreciated. “You shouldn’t be asking the questions Ross, you should be giving answers to it.” I didn’t bother looking his way as I wasn’t in the mood to take note of his expression. “Yeah,disadvantages of taking a major decision without informing people he calls his men.” His murmuring and cheesy talk could be clearly heard and I turned to face him with a scorn. “Really?” “Sorry Alpha” he reads the air and maintains his stance. This wasn’t the tone at all to call me in on what I did in the past. I ignore his statements as I was in no mood for these talks. I was busy trying to come up with what I could do that would make Jaden warm up to me.
~Asher~I got another chance and unlike before, I was prepared and ready to be ignored as Hazel enlightened me way ahead when she opened the door for me to come in. If he doesn’t want to hear anything concerning me then how were we supposed to talk or even hold a conversation? I stood outside his door, knocked lightly on it before entering. I already got permission from Hazel to enter as Jaden would definitely make out guesses and pick out who it was knocking and withdraw me access from entering. I wasn’t going to do that and miss any chance I got as I couldn’t go against his wishes since I was trying to prove a point about him making his own choices about me. I really should be grateful for Hazel this period. I thought I would have more issues trying to convince her to give me a chance but she didn’t have an issue with it and was really hoping I could do something about it. Her warnings were clear and I promised her that I was going to handle it and fix it as long
~Hazel~ I counted every single second that passed by as I was waiting to hear any sound of anything at all from the room that meant they were conversing but none came out. I know he couldn’t get Jaden to talk all at once since he could be real stubborn when he wanted to be. “I’m really surprised you allowed him to enter your home again and it didn’t just stop there. Remember how you wanted him miles away from you and Jaden? and now he’s sitting in there all alone with your son.” There wasn’t a need to repeat it all out to me but she did anyway with a lazy smirk. “You don’t have to point it out to me at every chance, you know?” There wasn’t anything I could do about it. I didn’t want to bring the issue of, if the hospital never happened thing then all this wouldn’t have happened in the first place but it wasn’t really necessary as it would change the course of our discussion and what seemed lighthearted could turn to a think cloud of gloominess and both of us woul
~Asher~ “It’s his choice, I can’t do anything about it.” I tried repeating in my head as I was about going nuts with the last image of Jaden running happily to meet with Tristan. There was nothing as cold and hurtful as that, I couldn’t do anything but just looked and passed by like it wasn’t a big deal. It was a big deal and now I was clearly getting my own taste of bitter rejection. I F**king have myself to blame no matter what I really had In mind. Days turned into a week and I still haven’t gotten a response from Hazel. They were now in control as it was their decision to give me a chance or withhold it. This was the only way I could get to talk with Jaden, since going over there and sitting in his room doesn’t look like it would yield any change. And I had a feeling he was going to come up with a way to keep me out once he found out it was going to become a regular. “Alpha?” He knocked lightly on the door before coming in with all smiles. “Leo, h
~Asher~ I finally came out of the office in a hurry, I couldn’t miss this or be late either. She’s giving me a week and we didn’t need to come back on time meaning I could take him out. “You’re driving” I ordered in a hurry, tossing the keys to Ross as he fell behind me trying not so hard to keep up with my pace. Even if It was just the opportunity staring up at me and not amounting to any changes I was fine with it as long as I get to meet him as going to meet Jaden in a hurry wouldn’t guarantee anything yet. A week was a lot and I’ve had enough time to think of what to say to him or do. I also can not tell him about getting a new heart. I can tell he was way too smart for that and would think that I was only telling him that because I wanted him to open up to him. “Where are we going?” He finally asks as he stepped on the gas after telling him to drive the fastest he can. “Where else do you think could get me this worked up and in a hurry?” “Oh th
~Asher ~ That he was thrown aback and with the look on his face right now I knew there wasn’t going to be ever any argument or a doubting Thomas as my beta. “How could you tell?” Jaden was clearly backing us and fairly a distance away. I looked up at him as I tried to mask my happy face with a confused one. Don’t tell me he could recognize my back anywhere too. Now who’s beta of the year? “I was looking directly at his face before the chubby one there came and he suddenly backed us before you turned to check.” “Is that really possible? How are you standing here and there at the same time?” He looked frozen where he was as he refused to remove his eyes from Jaden’s back. I just hope no one notices and comes to question us because he was making us look very suspicious with his eyes fixed on a child in a school full of lycans teachers where they could easily and quickly point us out. Wait… that’s true. We’ve been here for quite a while and no one has come to po
~Hazel~ “How are we really going to plan a party without him knowing? I mean he’s very observant, we’ve never done one without him finding out just in time.” All I could hear were complaints about how observant Jaden was and they weren’t lies. It was a good thing but in most cases for us and in other cases it wasn’t so good as we’ve never been able to successfully pull off a surprise party for him before without him finding out just in time. “Don’t worry about it, I’m so sure that it's going to work out this time around and we’ll all be surprised.” I was putting all my hope on Asher and he better not fail me. We didn’t actually need the whole week to plan a surprise but to catch him by surprise so he wouldn’t suspect a thing. With Asher with him all day trying to mend a relationship that might take weeks or forever, it was just the perfect distraction as all his mind would think of was how he didn’t want Asher around. I wanted him to sort whatever it was
~Asher~ It’s been days since I've been going to pick up Jaden and he still hasn't spoken since his last words to me on the first day. And that wasn’t a problem as I was still overwhelmed and was happy he would still drive round with us before going home. I could say that Ross had a bond that I wished I had with Jaden but I wouldn’t rush him. He had a way with my boy and Jaden answered a few of his questions leaving me completely out and would be quiet if I was the one asking. I was still a lot glad that I was able to hear him speak as Ross at every single opportunity tried to engage him in conversations for my sake. At least I have new information now as they talked about how lately he’s intrigued to try drawing a car as he’s never really drawn but only done painting. Ross's eyes moved knowingly and with a small smile as he found out other similar traits between us. They always talked leaving me completely out of their conversation and I sat there through
