“Seth? My Gamma, Seth?”
My body trembles and I’m on my edge of losing it. I know I shouldn’t decide hastily. I should talk to Ashira first. But hearing all of this now, it seems to connect.
“I don’t know if it’s true. Seth left the Hall with his mate after you left and I hadn’t had the chance to talk to him about this. But what’s bothering me is how he handled the guards at the border.”
I’m barely with Nick as he talk. My mind is clouded by anger and confusion. I’m also starting to feel the betrayal added with my rage.
Every fu*cking thing connects with Nick’s reports.
Seth volunteered to handle managing the guard’s shift for tonight. And of course I let him, not suspicious at all because he have the right to be in-charge with that. Yet the outcome is what Nick and I talked in my office today.
He looked at me like we think the same thought. I hissed and run my hands on my head. Damn it. Damn it.
“He assigned most of the mate less male wolf in the border tonight. Dubious, right?”
It all connects and my suspicion just grew worst. I have a dreadful idea running in my head right now.
My mate is a stealer and my third-in-command is trying to cover for her!
“Aiden,” Nick looked at me, his voice is trying to snap me out of my rabid thoughts. “Its better to talk with Ash. We’re not sure if its true yet. Seth wouldn’t hide such important thing to you without a reason, you know that.”
I closed my eyes tight, not letting his words in my head. All I think right now is how I hate to be lied to, to be betrayed.
And if my mate is a fu*cking stealer, then it’ll only make everything worse.
“Ask her first, Aiden.”
I no longer hold my control. All I want is to be furious, to know the truth, to ask her but I doubt I can in the nicest way. I’m feeling the opposite. Right now, I feel like I wanted to kill somebody.
‘She’s our mate! Listen to me!’
I growled loud, ignoring my wolf and rushed upstairs.
“Don’t do anything yiu’ll regret!” he said but my steps are fast, ignoring his words.
“Aiden!”
Nick yelled my name, stopping me but I won’t. I demand the truth and I’ll have it by hook or by crook.
Nick’s POV
Everything happened so fast. I can’t believe what I heard from Titus but I can’t let it go without telling Aiden.
I sighed nervously of what he will do next but I hope Ash is not a stealer. And I pray to Moon Goddess that if she is, don’t let Aiden hurt her.
Aiden was furious and he looked as if he’s ready to draw blood when I told him. It’s not impossible that Titus is right.
Ashira’s our pack’s Luna now. He’s not insane to make things up, no one wants to mess with Aiden’s head, to the extent of involving his mate.
I knew what Aiden will do when he told me I’ll take it for tonight. He’ll take her full by completing the mating process and that’s okay IF Ashira is not a stealer.
Because if she is one, and if she is tricking Aiden, then the mating will complicate things between the mate bond.
If she is a stealer and she’s tricking us into believing she is the mate of Aiden, then Aiden’s wolf will be blinded by her. Making it impossible for Aiden to let her go in the future.
If she is his true mate then nothing will be complicated.
I was walking back and forth, nervous of what will Aiden do. He rushed upstairs and I can’t hear anything because his room has resistance for wolf senses. I can’t hear them, or feel them, or even mind link Ashi or Aiden.
I wanted to rush upstairs and barge in the room but I can’t. Aiden is still my Alpha and his superiority is too great to be fought by his own Beta. It’s nature call, and I cant bend his rules even if I wanted to.
But Im worried with Ashira. And that’s all I can do now. To worry for her.
However, I prayed and believed that Aiden wont do anything to her. No, its impossible that he will hurt her. What if she really is his mate? He’ll go nuts if he ever lose control and end her own mate’s life.
Though everything is an IF. And that’s what make this hard. Because we have no precise knowledge about Ash.
I tried reaching Seth but he can’t be reached through our mind link. I bet he’s freeing the wolf inside his pants right now, blocking anyone in his mind unconsciously. His phone is ringing but he’s not answering my calls and that frustrates the hell out of me.
I’d like to get some answers from him. He’s been with Ashi since we attended to the mourning families and that include Titus. He’s been with her when they symphatized for his loss.
Now that I think about it, both Seth and Ashi were alone with Titus that time.
Another IF flashed my mind. If Ashira was really a stealer then how did they convince Titus to keep it from us?
I can’t give myself any answers like this. I’ll call Seth’s phone until his ears burst from the rings than to burst my own head from thinking.
Seth’s POV
“Your phone is ringing again…” Ava said in a soft voice. I groaned from irritation as I held my head up from devouring her neck. What does Nick wanted?
He’s been trying to go through my mind for a while now and I’ve been blocking him because I am having my time with my mate.
Hell, he needed a mate. How can he miss me so fast when we’re together a while ago? He’s like a fu*cked up ex-girlfriend!
Ava pushed me, I was mounted above her, ready to experience another mind blowing pleasure yet she thinks of my ringing phone.
“Just answer it!”
I growled and reached for my phone, itching to throw it out the window though decided to pick up the call.
“What!” I snapped. It’s Nick like I guessed.
“Thanks for picking up, asshole! Can you just pull your pants up and come at the ancestral? Now!”
I groaned. How did he know I have my pants down right now?
“Give Aiden and Ash a break for tonight and go beat yourself!”
I was about to turn off the call when he spoke again.
“We found out that Ashira was a stealer! Now come down here now!”
My eyes widened. Fuck. How did he knew? Oh no.
“Does Aiden know?” I said and grabbed my clothes at the floor, not bothering to wear it because I decided to run in my wolf. I need to get there fast.
“Yes, fu*cker! And from your reaction, you know it too! Just come here!”
