Yeah right. Like he didn’t struggle when he denied claiming Ash.
“I never doubt that.” Michael smiled proudly and I snorted. They both turned to me and I stood straight. Ohhkay.
“If Zynia will visit again, I’ll tell you first, Alpha Aiden.”
Aiden nodded. “Thank you, Michael.” and turned to me. “Let’s go.”
We went out of the old man’s house and to the car. Aiden sighed as soon as we’re inside. We gained nothing from my old man. He must feel devastated right now. I knew how impatient he is, and what’s happening right now is not the outcome he wanted.
“Why don’t you keep Ash and just wait until you’re pulled by another mate bond?” I innocently asked as I drove.
He growled loud and leaned his back on the seat. What?
“Then what? Have another wolf fu*ck her brains out as I watch it?” He growled again. Okay. So he didn’t like the idea of that.
“There’s no need for that. We already know what she is.”
“You can let her go, Aiden. She can go back to her pack. Ash did not harm you yet to deserve being locked inside your room.”
Aiden hissed like he’s irritated with what I said. I don’t care. I believe he needs to hear it. Ash may be a stealer but she did nothing to hurt Aiden or anyone. He shouldn’t lock her up.
“Only I can decide on that, Nick. Butt out.”
I just sighed, my words won’t matter even if I say something.
Whatever, Aiden. Don’t regret your stubbornness later.
Ashira’s POV
I opened my eyes slowly as I heard the rustling of locks and keys outside the door.
I slept and I don’t know how long was I out.
When the door opened, Aiden’s tingling delicious sweet fragrance quickly filled my nose.
His eyes met mine and I felt thousands of currents run down my spine. It felt like I’ve never seen him for so long, the mate bond is already pulling me to him.
I sat down and looked away from his gaze because I felt like burning from it.
He closed the door behind him but I still can feel his hot stare on me. I did not bother to look up and met his eyes again because I might give in.
Aiden stood up at the edge of the bed and I bet his eyes are still on me.
“Go back to sleep.” his deep voice is commanding, giving me an order. I can’t sense any emotion in his voice at all.
I gulped, clearing my throat. “I will. After you leave.” I said and looked up, meeting his eyes. Another lump formed my throat when his golden-brown eyes glinted.
The side of his lips raised, forming a smirk.
“Who said I’m not sleeping here with you?”
Ashira’s POV
I paled when his face looked playful, a bit sarcastic. I let my back leaned more to the bedrest, praying it would suck me away from his burning gaze.
My eyes drifted somewhere else, anything but those mesmerizing and sarcastic golden brown eyes which gravitate the pull I’m having right now.
“You don’t want to be with me, right? So just take the other room while you lock me in here.” the last words lingered my tongue, emphasizing it because he seems to forget.
No growl of irritation came from him, no reaction was heard, far from what I expected. It made me look at him again and I found his deadly serious expression, his lips formed a flat line as his eyes darkened. Looking at mine intently.
I can’t read his mind. One moment, he’s being sarcastic with me and the next, he looked mad. I didn’t say anything that is not true though.
My eyes went down on his lips when it moved. He licked his lower lip, making it wet and mois
I hate how he affects my system!
I inwardly snarled but it reached his ears, making his brow lift. Immediately, I cleared my throat and looked away.
Aiden is so intimidating!
I suddenly forgot what he said and can’t give a response back.
Damn it.
“None?” he said in a teasing voice and watched my reaction. My heart beat faster than it is as my breathing heavied, feeling a bit shame from how I lost my words. He nodded slowly like he is satisfied with my silence. “Then stay where you are and do as I say.”
‘Make us kneel, mate!’ my wolf flirtatiously shrieked with excitement and I growled to her in my head. How can she be happy when our conversation is all about our pitying situation? I blocked her and made sure she won’t interrupt my thoughts again.
“I’m not going anywhere even if I want to. I’ve done nothing wrong so I won’t prove myself guilty by escaping. But I don’t want you near me anymore.” I said, still looking away from him.
Don’t want him near me? Shit, Ashi! You’re a hypocrite for saying that though your pussy is throbbing for him!
A low growl escaped his lips and I turned to him, desiring to see how my words affected him only to be met by those mesmerizing golden-brown eyes once again.
Not a minute after our eyes met, he quickly crawled on the bed, grabbing both of my ankles, and pulled me roughly to the edge of the bed, to where he is.
I yelped as I slide down above the bed, not having any strength to protest. My back laid flat as he spread my legs wide, positioning himself between it. I struggled but his grip is too strong, he won’t even budge no matter how hard I tried to pull my feet away from his grasp.
“Aiden!” I protested and pressed my hands on the bed, pulling myself up.
I sat up hastily and found my face an inch close from his. My lips parted from the words that I’m supposed to say but I couldn’t utter by how intimate our position is. I felt my breathing halted as his eyes daggered in my soul.
Damn.
He looked down, to where my private area is and my cheeks flushed.
Shit!
I’m only wearing his shirt which becomes an oversize cloth with my frame. And I only wear panties inside! Remember how I prepared for my supposedly ‘gift’? Yeah, I regret that because right now, I’m barely naked in front of me and he’s gawking at my body!
My hands quickly pulled the hem of my shirt, trying to cover the se*xy G-string which hardly coated my folds! What’s the purpose of this thing anyway?
Shit! How can I take his eyes off my privates!?
“Eyes here, pervert!” I shrieked, grabbing tightly on the poor piece of fabric that I’m clutching to cover in between my legs, like my life depends on it now.
If this night is just like the other, I wouldn’t bother covering myself. But since we’re not on good terms, I can’t be vulnerable around him.
