Aiden’s POV 18+
My patience was wearing thin as I stormed into my office, my aura oozing power that made even my Delta, Gustavo, tremble slightly.
“You have to get me a ticket to Paris today! I don’t care how you do it,” I barked with my voice filled with urgency and frustration.
“Yes, Alpha!” Gustavo stammered, visibly shaken as he quickly scurried out to handle the request. My aura was intense, a manifestation of my rising impatience, and even Smoke, my wolf felt unsettled by the amount of control I was trying to exert.
I had been preoccupied with a series of attacks on the pack, which required all my attention. But now, with my mother, Alpha Fernly, back in charge, I could afford to leave. She was fierce and capable, and despite her absence for a while, I knew my pack was in good hands.
My body was here but my mind was elsewhere entirely. It was on Shenaya. I had intentionally stopped sending her the notes and flowers, just to see how she would react. I didn’t want to overwhelm her, but I also needed to know where she stood. What bothered me more was that I had missed the chance to tell her I was coming for Paris Fashion Week.
In no time, Gustavo returned slightly breathless.
“Our flight is at 4:00 pm, Alpha.”
I nodded without much emotion with my thoughts racing. I knew the show would already be underway by the time I landed in Paris, but that didn’t matter. I needed to be there. Gustavo quickly packed up and made we made our way to the airport.
The flight was delayed by 30 minutes, my frustration grew, and my jaw clenched tightly as we waited. Once we finally landed at 8:00 pm, I could tell the show had long since ended.
“You can take a taxi and go to the pack house, I’ll take off from here,” I told Gustavo and immediately made my way to where a car was already waiting for me. I took the key drove quickly through the city, and made my way towards the venue for the Fashion Week.
By the time I arrived, people were already leaving. Just as I was about to curse my bad luck, my eyes caught the sight of Shenaya who was stepping into a sleek Lamborghini with another woman, laughing, her body illuminated by the city lights. She looked stunning, but it was the man driving the car that made my blood boil. Smoke growled quietly within me.
Instead of approaching them, I got into the car and followed closely behind, I tried to keep my distance. We arrived at an exclusive lounge-De Prica. I parked across from them and watched them enter with my eyes fixed on Shenaya. She looked incredible, her dress hugged her curves and every move she made captivated me.
The jealousy that surged through me right cannot be explained as I saw the man who drove them to the club look at her intensely, he looked at her in adoration and admiration, this isn’t how friends look at friends. I clenched the steering wheel harder and my knuckles became white as I watched them walk into the lounge, I decided to follow them.
I stayed in the shadows like a stalker observing every move Shenaya made. She headed to the bar straight and started taking shots. I didn’t know her to be wild but a lot has changed since that after all. She laughed with her friend, and her body swayed effortlessly to the music. She was different, wilder. Something was off.
And then I heard it. My wolf hearing picked up her whispered words.
“Someone spiked my drink… get the bartender.”
I moved towards her without thinking about it. The moment she began to stumble, I was already at her side, I caught her before she hit the ground. Her body felt warm and soft against me. She kept pulling at her short dress, trying to undress herself, but every time she did, I gently pulled it back down.
“Shenaya,” I whispered. Her eyelids fluttered as she struggled to focus on me, her body limp.
I carried her outside with my heart pounding heavily in my chest. I carefully placed her in the backseat of the car, only for her to immediately strip down, leaving her naked under the glow of the streetlights. I froze for a moment, my mind was blank as I struggled to regain control.
“Shenaya…” I muttered under my breath, I quickly turned away as I rushed to the driver’s seat. I needed to get her out of there, and fast. My mind raced, unsure of where to take her in this condition.
“Humm… where should I take you?” I asked nervously.
“Where you can fuck me hard, I don’t care.” She giggled. Her response left me in awe.
I swallowed hard. I didn’t know what to say. I started the car and drove towards the estate.
My jaw clenched as I looked at her from the mirror, my face flushed with heat as Shenaya began to touch herself, her moans echoing loudly through the car.
“Please, Aiden…” she whimpered desperately. “I need you to touch me. I want you to-” She arched her back, her fingers moving frantically against her own body, her legs spreading wider. I drove faster to get to the Estate.
When we got to the estate, no one was around, everyone else had slept. My mind raced as I carried her into the room with my whole muscles tensed while my heart was pounding against its cage. Smoke and I were battling with who to take control but of course, I had the upper hand. Every instinct in me screamed to take her right there, after all, that was what she demanded, but I knew this wasn’t Shenaya. This was the drug, and I couldn’t allow myself to take advantage of her in this vulnerable state.
“Put me on the cold tiles” she demanded with utmost authority which I obeyed immediately.
Shenaya’s eyes were wild and clouded with lust as she fell back onto the floor. Her hands immediately went in between her legs again. My jaw clenched as I tried to look away but my face flushed with heat as Shenaya began to touch herself, her moans filled the room. I have lost count of the amount of time she had touched herself to reach orgasm.
“Please, Aiden…” she whimpered on the cold floor.
I turned my back to her trying to fight Smoke’s urge to take over as he couldn’t think straight with the view right in front of him. The sound of her voice and the sight of her vulnerable made me want to give in but I knew I shouldn’t do it.
“I can’t,” I said hoarsely my voice betraying me. “Shenaya, this isn’t you. You’re not thinking clearly. I won’t take advantage of you like this.”
“I want you, Aiden!” She screamed in frustration. “I thought you wanted to win me back. This is your chance! I’m right here!”
As much as I wanted this to happen, it would have made so much sense if she wasn’t saying it under the influence of the drugs. I closed my eyes trying to block out her words. I wanted nothing more than to slide in her and made her moan my name, I want her full lips wrapped around my dick but nothing like that could happen. Not now.
“I don’t want you like this, Shenaya,” I said through gritted teeth as I forced the words out. I turned to face her and knelt beside her but I didn’t meet her eyes because Smoke might take over if her wolf should connect to Smoke through eye contact.
“Not when you’re not yourself. Not when you’ll wake up tomorrow and hate me for it.”
Shenaya’s fingers stopped, and her body began trembling as she reached orgasm again. She stared at me.
“You… don’t want me?” she whispered with a cracking voice trying to guilt trip me.
“I want you more than anything,” I whispered making sure my emotions showed in my voice. “But not like this. I want you when you’re fully aware of what’s happening. When you choose me because you want to, not because of some drug.”
Her eyes filled with tears as her frustration gave way to confusion and hurt. Her body trembled for another orgasm but this time she relaxed and I felt like the effects of the drug had slowly begun to wear off. She slumped back against the floor, clearly exhausted.
I gently lifted her into my arms and carried her to the bed, I placed her down carefully before covering her with the blankets and sat beside her. Watching her in this state breaks my heart so much. I watched her eyelids flutter closed as the tension finally left her body.
