Semua Bab Entwined With The Alpha : Bab 81 - Bab 90

Third POV“I love you, Aaron,” she mumbled.He knew that and believed it. “I love you too.”They stayed in each other’s arms, unmoved and unwilling to let go. The night was chilly, but Zera didn’t seem to mind. Aaron held her close to his warm body, and the heat kept her content.She kissed his chest while running her hand over the engravings, making him shiver at her touch.“We should go inside,” he said, seeing as the morning approached. They had laid for over an hour in silence, and as much as he wanted to continue, he knew they shouldn’t.She nodded, and he helped her to her feet, gathering her clothes and helping her put some on. He found his trousers and shirt not so far away and quickly retrieved them. He wore them, hoping to go in and clean up properly.“You’re okay, right?” he asked, but she didn’t answer. Instead, she picked up her boots. He took hold of her hand, bringing her attention to him, and their gazes locked. “You’re okay, right?” he asked again.She smiled before an

“Mommy, you’re not eating,” Zion called out to me, and I snapped out of my thought to find the eyes of Ivan, Zion, and Aaron on me at the dining table where we sat having dinner.I knew Aaron was the most curious of the three. When I got home hours ago, he asked why I had hurried off without telling the bodyguards where I went. I knew the guards he had placed on me had fed him information about my misbehaviour and disappearance. I wasn’t ready to talk about it, and I told him I just needed air. He knew that was a lie, but he didn’t place any form of pressure on me because he knew better.I brushed it off casually: “Oh, do not mind mommy, she’s got work stuck in her head. Go on, eat your food, and you will be just as tall as Daddy and Uncle Ivan.”“They are really tall,” he admitted, and I knew their height must have left him in deep thought once or twice.“And you want to be that tall, right?” I asked.He nodded vigorously, and, without having to be told, he dug into his food and ate a

It felt too real to be a dream. I felt the wind blowing over my face as my heart hammered against my chest at the impending terror approaching.“Run to the fountain now!” Aaron told me, and without waiting, I took to my heels, running as fast as my feet could take me. The cold gripped my skin, but the adrenaline rushing through my veins made me focus less on that. I didn’t want to leave Aaron all alone with those men, but there was nothing I could do there, and my stay would only leave me vulnerable to the attackers.From what I had gathered so far, the fountain was a defence built by the Dominio pack as a fortress for the humans in their midst in times of war between any pack. The human, who would likely be the weakest among them, would run and hide under the fountain until the war or whatever conflict was going on ended. Just like every other fountain, water flowed through it, but unlike the others, its water was already laced with wolfsbane. This was a repellant for every werewolf,

We stayed that way, and I cried until my head began to hurt. Aaron took me into his arms, brought me into the car, and drove us home. When he stopped the car, he carried me into our room and then moved to give me a quick bath. He ordered the cook to make us brunch, as we hadn’t eaten yet. I didn’t have an appetite for food. I needed a bath, and then I wanted to roll up in a ball on the bed, but I said nothing as he gave the cook instructions to follow. Once he finished setting the water, he came to the bed and helped me out of all my clothes before taking me into the bathroom and setting me down in the bathtub. I sighed and settled in as I felt instant relief from the ache but not from the pain of loss. “Thank you.” I moaned, my eyes lingering on him. “You’re welcome.” I took hold of his hand. “Join me.” I beckoned to him. He hesitated. “You’re sure?” “I don’t want to be alone,” I told him. This was the most vulnerable thing I’ve said since the day began, and it was honest. He

A week later...Lionel had given me information about the venue of the funeral service, and though he sent me the address, I couldn’t locate it on the map, so he came and took me. The service would start at nine a.m., and he instructed me to be ready before seven thirty a.m. so we could go on time.I woke earlier than I had most days and got ready in my black square-necked gown, hat, and veil. These were my moaning attires. Aaron also woke up after a while of sleeping soundly and asked if he could come with me. I told him no. I was going because Tia was my sister, and I knew Betty would not be happy to see me, much less see him. Falling out with her because she was rude to Aaron or Zion was the last thing I wanted to do at Tia’s funeral, so I insisted he stay home to take care of Zion.He didn’t argue but insisted that Damor come along with me for protection. The city wasn’t safe, and I knew his enemies were still out there against him. I nodded and told him I was grateful for his care
