Call me Alpha (Aiden and Ashira) novel Chapter 39

Ashira's POV

"So you are saying that you're..." She paused. "I'm not following." Lucy looked at me with confusion and her eyes are squinted as she purse her lips.

I just told her I'm a stealer and that was the first sentence she uttered after a minute of jaw dropped silence.

I nodded to her. I'm not repeating what I just said because I knew she will comprehend the news in a few-

"Oh my God!" She gasps and closed her mouth with her hands. Told ya, she'll get it.

We're inside our room and I chose to be in it so Harley, Jacob's Gamma, won't hear any words I'll say.

After Aiden and Nick went off, I called Lucy and asked her to visit which she instantly said yes. A few minutes later, Jacob delivered her into the ancestral, together with her protector.

Seth's outside right now, too. And I bet Harley was just behind this door room and Seth must be drinking beer... somewhere.

"Are you kidding right now? Because if-Oh my God! I thought that's a myth!"

"Come on, you know its not." I chuckled. "Yeah, I'm a stealer but please don't judge me. I'm not-"

"Judge you? Pft! Never! But I can't believe it. I cannot believe it, Ashi!" She even muttered a silent wow. "Does Aiden know? I mean, he must have, right?"

"He knew." I said, nodding and diverting my eyes somewhere but her eyes.

"That explains his overprotective attitude, huh? How did he react when he found out? Did you tell it to him or-"

"It's tragic..."

I started telling her about what happened and she kept gasping and hissing as I go on about our story.

"That's awful. But he take it easy, huh." She commented.

"That's easy?" I looked at her like she's being funny right now.

"Girl, you haven't heard? My mate is still punishing me up to this day." She laughed. I got curious again about her case and their 'situation' but she finished the topic about herself before I could speak a word. "Enough of mine," she laughed. "Damn it! You're so lucky with your mate! Don't tell me you can't see that!"

Even though I'd like to hear more of her life, I can sense how hard she tries and conceal her truth.

I didn't pushed her from saying anything about herself and her situation, whatever it was.

"I do but... though I'm scared."

"Scared? Of what?"

I sighed and stood up from sitting. I brushed my hands on my hair and stop right next the glass window.

I looked down and the darkness gave me a calm essence. Something that touched my heart to peace.

"I'm scared that I'll lose him because of what I am, Luce." I turned to meet her eyes. "I'm a stealer. And history repeats itself. What if something bad occurred and he'll throw me away? Or hate me?"

The worries that kept living behind my head was uttered, at last. And though I thought it would make me feel any better, it just made my chest heavy. Or even more.

A sigh from my friend held back my tears. I cleared my throat and turned my back on her again before I sense her walking ever slowly behind me.

"Ash," she hugged me, placing her chin on my shoulder. "Past was called past for a reason. You can't let it taunt your present and mess up your future. It was all behind you, and all you could do was to look back to it but never live in it. You get me?"

I knew what she meant and I understood it well but the thought still stuck in my head. A little bit lighter.

I decided to say no more and nodded my head. She smiled at our reflection on the glass window.

"Everything will be alright. Just be yourself and not to what you were."

A few knocks on the door interrupted us. I smiled at Lucy and squeeze her hand before walking towards the door.

It was Seth.

"Aiden can't reach you. He said he everything was fine and they're heading back."

For the nth time, I got a mixed emotion inside my chest.

I'm excited, relieved and curious. First because he'll be here soon, second for him being safe, and third for how might've the talk went.

"I'll be heading back to the guesthouse, too." Lucianna said and she's behind me already. I looked at her and smiled.

"Thank you for coming here."

"Anytime. Thanks for asking for me." She laughed and hugged me for the last time. "Call me anytime." She said.

"I will."

Its only a matter of seconds when Harley was right next to his Luna then they were gone.

"What do you think happened?" I asked Seth when we're alone at the living room. He was holding a bottle of beer in his hand, seated calmly on the couch.

"Aiden talked with the rogue. Everything should be fine."

"Right..." I exhaled. "I'm still nervous though."

Seth chuckled.

A few more moment and I heard footsteps coming.

I stood up and went to the front door to see a scratch-less, still handsome as ever Aiden walking out of the dark. Nick coming right behind him.

"How'd it go?" Seth asked in a loud voice.

I watched Aiden's face as he walked near me. Completely ignoring Seth's question as he looked in my eyes. Intently.

He stopped in front of me and snaked his hand on my waist, drawing me closer to his body as his gaze never left mine.

I felt my cheeks flushed from how intense his eyes were. My heart started drumming loud and deafening when I felt it.

Aiden wants me.

I got lost from lust and attraction of him so instant that I didn't notice a baffled Seth beside us.

"Everything okay?" Seth asked again.

Nick walked on us and tapped Seth on his shoulder. "Come with me, bud." He said and dragged Seth away from us.

I slowly exhaled when I noticed how I stopped breathing. Only to hitch my breath again when Aiden snaked his other hand on my waist to trapped me in his arms.

"A-Are you okay?" I whispered.

He inhaled my scent then exhaled and I closed my eyes when his breath lingered on my nose like heroine.

My mind grew numb and light from how he smelled. It was a mix of mint and chocolate together.

It took a minute before he speaks.

"I missed you. It's crazy." He said in a low, deep, hypnotic voice. I felt my insides clenched from what he said.

He misses me. Damn, I do too!

"I mi-"

In a swift move, his lips captioned mine in a deep, excruciating kiss. His tongue was already inside my mouth and all I could feel was good and heavens.

I answered his kiss with the same hunger and embraced my arms around his neck. I tried supressing my moan when he stretched his palm on my back and hugged me closer to his body.
