My jaw dropped and my eyes widened from what she said.
I won’t be a stealer forever?! Good heavens!
I looked at Aiden and my eyes must be shining with hope as I do. He pulled me to him and gently planted a kiss on my hair.
I was so happy but then it dawned to me.
I pulled away and look at Zynia. She was smiling but it fades when I looked at her with wariness.
“Does… Does that mean my child will be a stealer-”
“God, no, no! The heir will not inherit the abnormality. Only the gifts.”
I sighed in relief as I heard that. I cannot imagine giving my own child the fear and trouble I encountered before finding accepting what I become.
“You have to understand, Luna Ashira, that being a stealer was not a curse. We’re the blessed ones. We are made to give birth to a strong wolf. Did you know the myth about us?” Zynia continued.
“What myth?”
Zynia sighed. “It’s sad that elders buried the information about stealers and didn’t passed it down to generation but there’s this myth that the strongest Alpha King that ever ruled the continent was a child of a stealer.”
I gasped.
The continent which is the North, South, East and West was ruled by an Alpha King. I studied about this before and that high position was inherited. A monarchy.
“Sure, the current Alpha King came from the same legendary Alpha King but the blood died down when years ago, the Queen didn’t produce a male heir. The chain was stained.”
“That’s just a myth.” Aiden scoffed and Zynia laughed from his statement.
“Yes, it is. But stealers were once a myth, too. Never forget.”
Okay. I decided to let them discuss and argue about this matter and my head immediately fly with my own thoughts.
I don’t think its important to focus this Legendary Alpha King. I’m already contented upon knowing that I’ll stop being a stealer once I born a pup. And the pup won’t be a stealer, even.
I blushed upon thinking that I’ll be giving Aiden a child. A cute little Aiden in my arms will be my greatest dream!
And I’ll be giving a gift to my child! Oh, I wonder what my gift will be!
“Ash?” Aiden softly whispered on my ear that made me jumped away from daydreaming. I looked at him and his face was just a few inches away from mine.
I cleared my throat and look at Zynia who’s smiling genuinely while watching us.
“Y-Yeah?”
“Do you have any questions?”
Zynia raise her brows at me, waiting for another query. I bit my lip and looked down.
“Uh, is there anything I should and shouldn’t do?” I looked up to Zynia and she gave me a small smile before exhaling.
“Hmm..” her eyes looked far while thinking and I patiently waited.
If she stopped being a stealer since she gave birth to Zeke then her memories might be off a little.
“Well, you should stay away from wolves who lost their mate. That’s not entirely dangerous but a war might occur between your mate and them. Oh! Our blood is special. It could enhance any potion’s power and could make the impossible possible. You could achieve whatever you like with just the right chant and your blood. Though it won’t make other’s heal or brought back to life. Did I miss anything…” she kept silent as she tried remembering more of what to share to us.
I felt Aiden pulled me close to his body and his breath on my ears.
“I’ll took a week off for sure.” he whispered.
I put some distance between us to look at his face, baffled of what he was saying.
“What? Why?” I whispered back.
The side of his lip rose and that playful smirk was now evident. My forehead knotted more.
“We’ll be busy procreating.”
My cheeks burned and my eyes widened from his bold words. I shyly glanced at Zynia but she was still busy with her thoughts. Or she pretends to be.
I pouted and Aiden chuckled lowly before pulling me to his chest.
If I didn’t know he was serious, I’d probably think he was making fun of me. But no! I knew how true he is with his words!
Oh, god. A week of just… making love?
I feel like my whole body is in he@t!
“I guess that’s it. If there’s more, maybe I never experienced it when I was still a stealer.” Zynia said. I’m too embarrassed to looked at her because I knew she heard what Aiden said!
“That’s-” I glanced at Aiden when he didn’t continue what he was saying. His eyes are pitch black and I felt how his body tensed.
“What’s wrong?” I asked but he didn’t flinched a bit.
In just a second, his eyes turned red and I’m sure something was up for his Alpha blood to take over.
He must be talking through his mind with someone over something and I’m dying with frustration of what that is!
Suddenly, Aiden stood up and since he was holding me, I moved with him.
He looked at me with those bright red eyes and low growls from his chest.
The door flew open and it spit Nick inside. He stood there like he was ready for something I’m not aware of. He looked at Aiden and it seems like they know what’s going on with their head.
“Stay here, Ashira. Don’t go out of this room. Seth will be with you.” Aiden said and then he was gone together with Nick.
My mouth was half open as I look at Zynia who mirrored the same worry I had in my face.
True to his words, Seth was inside the room together with Zeke.
“W-What’s going on?” I asked. Zynia stood up and went to Zeke, too.
Seth sighed and I can see uneasiness in his emotion. It’s like he wanted to be out there, too but he can’t leave me here.
“The Ravenous pack has attacked.” Seth said.
“What?!”
