Part 73
/Aiden's POV/
As I dragged Rose out of the tensed room, a breeze ruffled through her curls and sneaked through the thin fabric of her shirt. She curled closer to me. I seemed to mull over my words for a minute before finally turning around. The omega immediately put few inches of distance between us, her knees wobbling, hand coming to grip the nearby wall.
"Rose," I whispered gently. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," She said, but it comes out in more of a snap. The omega nearly let out a whimper when I tried to take a step in her direction.
"You're not okay," I corrected, sounding half-exasperated and half-panicked while raking my eyes over her squi

I opened and closed my mouth, a lump forming in my throat at his ridiculous suggestion. My chest tightened as I imagined the last time we slept together in the same bed. A grimace settled over my features, and I leaned down to pull extra pillows. There was no way I wanted to cross any lines. Not again.“Fine!” I let out a deep breath.“That was easy”, He whispered, but I could hear loud and clear.“Only because I don’t have a choice!” I emphasised the last word clearly before stuffing the pillows in a line, creating much-needed distance between us. The Alpha kept on tracking my moments, his eyes fully blown wide.“W-What is this?&rdq

By the time I stepped into the study room with my father walking in front of me, I could feel my throat and eyes burning. In those few minutes, I was suppressing the urge to scream out a litany of curses at the top of my lungs. Something was off, and I could not wrap my head around it.The minute we sat down, my bottom sank into the familiar cushion, heels digging into the carpet, my mouth parted. My father sat across me, his folded hands resting on the mahogany desk. The sound of a clock ticking slowly grated my nerves, legs clamped together as I waited for him to start talking already.He cleared his throat. "D-Do you want some tea?""No""So," I started, my fingers clasped together in my lap, teeth sinking in my

Something unreadable crossed over my fathers face as he held my hand. I stilled, watching as desperation exhibited from his actions, my entire body straightened. My teeth ground together as I was trying to keep it all in, knees already shaky."Please, Rose, you are the only one who can help your mother..."A burst of wet, humourless laughter escaped from my lips; hands pulled out of his grasp. "That explains why your wife was acting so lovely with me."My father bent his head down in shame because it was the truth. He could not deny it to my face. Not when I had to endure the cruellest treatment from her all these years."S-She loves you in her way." He said after a beat, barely meeting my eyes.

I couldn't but worry that Aiden was by my side, his gaze passing briefly over the Alpha before settling back on me, brows arching in question. For a moment, I felt small, wanting to do nothing but turn on my feet and run away. Why was Zain doing here? I thought to myself, lips twisting. The last time we saw each other, Zain broke up with me, for he had found his mate, and the entire thing messed me.Above me, the sky was clear and blue, speckled with a bright sun that shone down on us. I could feel its warmth, and inside my chest rose with the desire to burrow into the earth I was standing on to get away from it. The closest thing I did was shift to Aiden’s side, my legs feeling shaky in an attempt to appear nonchalant.My Alpha next to me cleared his throat. "Alpha Zain," He breathed, grasping Zain's attention on him while flashing a tentative smile. "Fancy seeing y

At the shrill sound, Aiden went still next to me; his jaw clenched tight. The Alpha was not used to this, of course, since everyone in the Pack spoke to him with a soft fearful voice. My stepmother, however, appeared raging mad, coming to stand in front of me, her eyes digging into my skin.Looking over her shoulder, I stared at my father, who emerged seconds later, his feet faltering as soon as he met my eyes. He cast his head down, his shoulders sagging with an audible sigh. Judging from the tension in the room, it was pretty clear that he might have told her about our talk."You have some nerve denying my request after all the things I have done for you all these years...How can you so easily forget them now that you got yourself a rich Alpha? Someone you stole from your sister! You should be ashamed of your

/Aiden’s POV/Zain was calling out my mates name. I could see his figure from the rear view mirror as he kept waving like a fool. So having no choice, I quickly grabbed onto her wrist and managed to distract her. What could he possibly wants to talk with her anyway? Even during our brief meeting, the Alpha appeared seconds away from getting down on his knees and confessing his undying love for her. Zain was her past and should stay her instead of trying to come in between us.But the way I handled things was borderline stupid, I realised as soon as we sat on the train.Something ugly seared in my stomach as I thought of how the other Alpha looked at Rose. With fondness and longing, which made me want to gauge his eyes out. He had

I dragged my body out of bed, and the room was so warm I didn't even shiver while walking out. Then my eyes flickered to the fireplace only to see that Aiden had made it for me. A smile curved around my lips, eyes alight as I stared at the tea tray.He did all those things for me, and the knowledge spread warmth in my chest, settling in my belly. Suddenly I was reminded of the harsh words that come after his actions, my toes curling.No. I cannot let him fool me with these sweet gestures anymore. Maybe the Alpha was doing it out of pity after the things he witnessed in my old packhouse. That might be it. Straining my ears, I tried to listen to Aiden, who left the room a few minutes ago. Who could it be at the door?My curiosity got the best of me, and I rushed out in search of

/Aiden’s POV/As we walked away from the main path and towards the garden bench, the afternoon rays hit Damon’s face. The Alpha raised his hand in the air, shielding from the bright glare from the sun. It also accentuated the lines of worry on his forehead and his mouth as he finally turned around. When I saw the Alphas at the doorstep, my face paled, more shocked at finding Zain along with Damon. Why was he here? What could he possibly want now?Before I could ask any of those questions or ward them away, Rose entered the living room. There went my silly plan.“Aiden?” My friend's voice yanked me out of my thoughts, almost making me squint as he sank the bench.“Y
