Part 86
/Aiden's POV/
"I like you" Those three words rang in my ears, but instead of Ria, I saw my mate Rose to stand in front of me, pouring her heart out. She had uttered those exact words in her drunken state, lips glistening and cheeks flushed. Guilt swarmed my belly as I recalled the way it scared the living daylights out of me.
Those words were all it took for me to flip and start treating her like a stranger. Maybe even worse. A lump wedged in my throat at that, hands awkwardly patting at Ria's back. With my clueless behaviour, I have managed to hurt not one but two people. The weight of it fell on my shoulders, body going stiff.
My friend placed a hand on my chest, taking a step back, still not meeting my eyes. I t

The following day I woke up with a funny feeling in my stomach and a crick in my neck. It may be because of how I slept the night before with an extra pillow instead of my usual one. Also paired that with me overthinking about Aiden's behaviour turned my night into a long one. What was with his strange behaviour anyway?Shaking my head, I stepped out of the room, freshly showered, closing my room door behind me. Aiden walked out simultaneously, wearing a thick black jumper, a bag slung over one shoulder. He had a pair of earbuds in and was scribbling in his notepad; the Alpha didn't even look up this time, not even when I knocked my feet loudly on the ground.I sighed and slowly turned around towards the stairs. That's when Aiden rushed to my side,

/Aiden’s POV/Liam kept his eyes narrowed the entire time, making me almost shift in my seat at the silence that settled over the room. Why was the beta judging me for answering the question? Shouldn’t he be content after hearing the answer? The beta abandoned his drink, fully twisting the chair in my direction.“You are a fool!”“Hey! That was uncalled for. I answered your question.”He crossed his arms together, lips pressed in a straight line, the light from above falling onto the side of his face. Shaking his head, Liam opened his mouth. “You have a strange way of showing someone you like them, Alpha.”“W-What

As I felt his watchful eyes on me, my cheeks heated up. Why was he staring at me so intently? For a second, I thought that there might be something on the side of my face but quickly brushed that thought away. Whirling around, I turned to face him, to which the Alpha pointed towards the little arrangement, my eyes falling on a brown picnic basket.Slumping down, I brushed at the edges of my pants, legs pressed together. We were a lot closer than I anticipated, almost feeling the heat of Aiden's body blending through the space between us."So," He started, and from underneath my lashes, I noticed his lips twitch."So," I echoed, saying nothing else. I was not quite sure what to say if I was being honest. It still felt odd, this d

My body froze upon noticing the intruder as he was none other than Alpha Caden. He had a glimmer in his eyes, with his back straightened and staring at Aiden without any fear. The Alpha was rooted on the same spot for a few seconds now, his hands falling by his side. Caden did not even bother greeting the future Pack Alpha, his body fully angling towards me. I shifted awkwardly on my feet, my head cocking between the two of them, lips pressed in a straight line at their staring contest.“How could you interrupt us like this?” Aiden lowly growled, his eyes turning stormy and fingers curling into fists. “Did you not learn any manners when you were young?”A sudden silence befell us at the rage in his voice, my inner wolf tensing at his sudden shift in behaviour.

/Aiden's POV/It's a miracle, in my opinion, that I somehow managed to walk back to the cabin in one piece. With my shoulders sagging, I shut the door behind me. I was still having trouble taking deep breaths, and my heartbeat was fast and erratic, hands curled into fists by my side.After all the planning, I did get Rose alone and apologise for my stupid mistakes; that Alpha trainer had to be the one to ruin it. Why couldn't he give us more time? I huffed under my breath.I wanted this—her apology and sincere smile so much so my body trembled with it, so tense that I was almost going to empty the sandwiches I ate because my stomach kept twisting. Cursing under my breath, I threw my body on the nearby couch, head lolled back, deep in th

I woke up with a bright smile on my face, slowly exiting my room and peeking at the Alphas closed bedroom door. He must be still sleeping, I thought with a twist of my mouth. Aiden did appear fatigued the other day, almost dozing off on the couch.Heading back into the kitchen, I noticed the biscuit crumbs on the dining table and started cleaning them before moving on to wash the dirty dishes stacked in the sink.It’s quiet. Apart from the steady stream of water from the tap and cups clanking together, there’s not a sound to be heard. I used to hate the depressing silence that would settle over this place from time to time, but my entire body was too energised to feel anything.&nbs

We didn’t exactly hold hands on the way back to the pack house, but walked close, our knuckles brushing with almost every step. I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders; knowing where Aiden stood made it a little easier. The Alpha trusted me enough to ask me anything else about Zain. I had been itching to know about Ria, though and why the beta accompanied him to this side of the woods. There was a mere hunch in my mind that she might be the one to drag him here. My stomach churned at that, palm feeling wet and clammy as I gripped onto the dress. Ria found her mate, a Pack Alpha no less, but instead of following that, she was busy chasing Aiden. I firmly believed that the beta would let go of her obsession and stop meddling between us

The afternoon was cold and misty, with a possibility of storms rolling in, the ground muddier than the firm as I walked back to our shared cabin. On my way, I played Ellen’s suggestion about meeting the healer wolf over and over again. The plan appeared to be risky at first, but the omega trainer promised to accompany me and hinted to take Caden along with us.Beth asked me to read up on some old files the previous Luna kept as a record. They were in the study, so I gathered them and decided to take them back instead of sitting back in the packhouse with the noisy pups running around.My black boots sank with every step forward, hands wrapping around the coat. I shivered fiercely, breeze rolling by me. There was also a looming worry about telling Aiden, but I had no idea
