‘I don’t know if I should say this, I don’t want you to be afraid.’ I started.
A few minutes of silence and I start to worry.
‘Ashira? Are you okay? What’s happening there?’
‘No. I- Nothing is happening here. I was- I’m waiting for what you wanted to say.’
I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose then running my hands over my head as I try to calm my ramming heart beat.
I thought Elon came for her again. I thought I broke contact with her mind again.
Damn it.
‘Listen, baby. Elon can’t do anything to our pup. Killing the life inside your womb right now is beyond possible-‘
‘Really? God, Aiden! That’s great news! Did Zynia said that? We have nothing to worry about-‘
‘Ashira, please listen to me. Our child will be fine. But we can’t have our guards down yet. Elon might try to steal you from me. He will stole you, and that would mean that you will never remember any memories with me. Like I never exist in your life. Elon might steal you and own you as his own mate.’
I feel like I’m breaking down. The words I said to her was almost like my whining. I hate to say this but right now, I’m only praying that I could save Ashira at the right time.
‘No, Aiden, I won’t let him do anything or even get near me. I don’t want to be stole! I’m your mate!’
‘I know, please, calm down.’
‘I will never forget you! I-I-I don’t want to be-, Aiden, please…’
I could feel her frightened emotion, she’s scared and she’s probably crying right now. Alone. Without me. Fuck.
I screamed my frustration and punch the wall in front of me. A hole was made by my fist and the wall cracked up to the ceiling.
Damn it! Damn it!
I feel the same, Ashira! I do! If only I wouldn’t think of the welfare of my pack. I would attack on my own just to save her so why did I even wait this far?
Right.
I’ll save her no matter the cost.
‘I’ll save you now. I’ll come for you, baby. Please don’t cry. Reach to me and I’ll answer right away. I’ll come for you now.’
‘What will you do, Aiden? Don’t come unprepared. Please, I need you.’
‘I’ll do anything for you, Ashira. I’ll risk everything for you.’
I will attack Ravenous without the help of our alliance. I couldn’t wait another minute and I won’t wait for hours while my mate is scared and crying as she fights alone.
I moved out of the room with inhumane speed. Just when I reached the living room, I saw Nick with Jacob and his mate, Lucianna just arrived.
“Brother.” Jacob greeted but I can only nod. My head is focused on the attack the formed inside my head.
I turned to Nick and saw his forehead creasing with confusion.
“Nick, prepare every shifters. Fighters, Guards, Trackers and Watchers. Everyone who knew how to fight. Just leave the pup beginners to defend the land.”
“What? Why? What’s happening?”
“Just do as you are told!”
“Aiden, what are you planning?” Jacob butted in.
I sighed and watched them.
Nick was confused but he’s yet following my command. Jacob has the criticizing look on his face and beside him is Lucianna who’s arms are wrapped on Jacob’s arms.
In a split moment, I saw a picture of me and Ashira together just like how Lucianna and Jacob is right now. I shook my head after a few seconds and moved my eyes back to Nick.
Ignoring Jacob’s question, I tried and explained to Nick what I planned to happen.
“We’re attacking Ravenous right now so gather everyone.”
“Are you craz-”
“Go on, Nick. Follow the command of your Alpha since it seems he knew how to assassinate his own pack in a heroic way.” Jacob snarled at me.
I saw how Lucianna look at her mate with widened eyes and dropped jaw.
A loud growl directed to Jacob escaped my throat.
“Stay out of this, Jacob!”
The Alpha in front of me smirked and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
“Says someone who asked for our help. Has your mind left you, Aiden?”
I felt every nerve in my body exploded. Without any thoughts, I grabbed his collar and pushed him that we’re both on the floor. I’m towering above him and he looked at me with a tired look.
“You don’t know what I’m going through!”
“Aiden!” Lucianna shouted.
“Don’t fight, you guys!” Nick.
“Do I need to be in your shoes to know what’s best? You are risking your life and the life of your loyal soldiers by not using your head!”
My teeth gritted as a growl came out of my chest.
“Please have a calm conversation, you two.” Lucianna pleaded. I slanted my head and sighed, pulling myself up and standing on my feet.
“I’ll risk everything to save my mate. If you’re against it, then try and stop me.” I said in a calm tone but every words that came out of my mouth were emphasizing that I’ve already made my decision.
“Aiden. Even if you save Ashira and died, another mateless wolf will come for her. Who will save her then, huh?” Jacob insisted on trying to change my decision but what shocked me is how he knew about Ashira’s wolf abnormality.
I turned to Nick with questioning eyes.
“I told him about it.” Nick answered with a sigh. “Sorry, it kind of slipped when we were talking over the phone.”
I sighed and screwed my eyes shut.
