Chapter 29

Ashira's POV

I OPENED MY EYES and welcomed the little ray of sun coming from the window. It hit my face and Im grateful for another sunshine.

My eyes widen as reality snatched me out of a dreamy morning.

Oh shit.

I looked around and realized I'm alone. Where is Aiden?

I moved only to flinch when I felt a light discomfort on my private area.

Damn.

I slowly sat as moments from last night dawned on me. We did it, Aiden and I has completed the mating, and the sore I'm feeling down there is the proof of it.

Blood rushed on my face as I flush from reminiscing what happened.

Aiden's hand on my body is what my body craved first. His rough touch and caress left an invisible mark in my skin, his rough thrusts, the feeling of his length slamming on my core, it makes my folds quiver just by thinking of it.

Oh damn, I didn't know I'm up to kinky intercourse until last night.

The part where I wanted him to stop because of the overwhelming pleasure yet he didn't keeps replaying inside my head. That's the most enticing part. It's mindbreaking. I'm glad he didn't stop then, because I can still feel it. How good it felt, how I tightened around him. How I give in with the pleasure.

Oh, God. I just had sex with my mate. I can't believe it.

And a mindblowing fuck at that. Damn! My mate is so hot and he sure can fuck!

I hugged myself under the blanket and closed my eyes tight, biting my lips as I let out a high pitched squeal. Damn! I missed him now! I think I'm craving for another round and I slapped myself from the thought.

Oh, wait.

What are we? What was he thinking about me? Do he accept me now? He's not doubting my intentions anymore?

That's impossible.

Isn't it?

His statements are mostly about deception. If I was deceiving him or not, he always asks for proof which I can't provide.

He won't change overnight. Right?

But if he is still balancing his judgment, then why did he mate with me? I can't think of a reason for him to do it. Unless... I don't want to assume but, did something change?

He sure is tough with decisions but he bends his rule once with Titus's position. Did his discretion changed again?

For what?

I shouldn't think about this. I'm glad for the turnouts but still... I can't help it.

My stomach growled and I felt how famished I was. Ugh. I wonder how I'm going to eat. I'm locked up and I'm not sure if Aiden will remember that I still need to eat.

I sighed and placed my feet on the floor, slow and careful. I didn't know that pain has aftershocks too. I thought only the orgasm has it. Ugh. I want one right now.

No Ashira! Don't let yourself be eaten by your sexual monster!

But Oh God it's something to crave for. The ecstasy, the tingling sensation, oh God!

The frigid weather of December can't stop me of taking a cold shower right now. I need it to calm my nerves or else I'll masturbate here right now even though I'm haven't done that before.

Seth's POV

"What do we have here, Au?" I asked Au as I sat on a barstool. The scent of freshly cooked foods and steam lingers on my nose, making my mouth water.

"Omelets, Eggs and Pancakes."

"Ohh, exquis! I hope you got my favorite." I raised my brows with a grin. Au chuckled and points her finger towards the stove where a pot steams above the burn. I sniffed in the air. "Ohhhh! My crab and egg soup."

"Okay." Au chuckled. "Thats for everyone, learn to share." she grins and I snorted. "Where's Luna Ashira?"

I shrugged. Uncertain if I can share the current events with her. Well, I think not.

"Overslept, maybe."

"Hmm.." Au continued what she's doing and my mind flies somewhere.

One thing I found out too early in the morning: Aiden fully claimed Ash. And my mind is exploding with confusion from what he did.

I thought we're supposed to wait for a result, to halt judgment. Aiden said that himself. Well, for me, my mind is fixated and I believe Ash is not a bad kind. I saw how she struggles finding how to prove herself once this situation arises. Yet, she failed.

The sound of an engine outside the ancestral snatched my attention. Aiden and Nick is back. I'm guessing they had killed Titus.

I sighed and walked to the door.

"Everything good?" I asked Nick when he's the first one to enter the door.

"Yeah. Nothing to worry about." he said and tapped my shoulder. "Ohh! I can smell food! Au! What's for breakfast?" he stormed in the kitchen and I can hear their muffled conversation.

Aiden walked in and I followed when he walked passed me.

"Why did you do it?" I asked in a whisper, making sure it won't reach the ears of Aurea.

He stopped and turn to me. I was hoping that he would answer but he didn't so I spoke again.

"Do you mean it? You accept her now?"

He sighed and pressed his thumb and finger on the bridge of his nose. He haven't slept but I can't see any exhaustion from his face.

"Yes. Thinking in between is now nullify. Consider Ashira as mine from now." then he walked to the stairs, only to stop midway and turn to me. "But I doubt you needed the word for it."

I grinned and Aiden smirked before rushing upstairs.

Yep. I'm confident she is yours from the start, Alpha.

Ashira's POV

Fully dressed and just finished brushing my hair, I sat on the bed with a sigh.

My stomach growled again and it's nonstop since I shower. I'm so hungry!

'Foooood!' my wolf whined and it summed up the starvation I'm being torture with. I hate being locked up. For real.

"Ahhh! I'm so hungryyy!" I slammed my back on the soft mattress, bouncing lightly.

"Why won't you come down then?"

I turned my head and saw Aiden on the open door, leaning on the doorframe.

He's still wearing the same clothes, and his scent is stronger than before. Making me sniffed softly to fill my lungs with it. And it made a familiar heat flared inside my chest.

Oh God.

I hastily sat like I was dragged up. My system was filled with nervous and intoxication by his presence. Uh, I hate loving him close.

"Uh-" I can't finish my sentence when I met his eyes. Those golden brown mesmerizing eyes always caught me deep, reaching my soul.

"The door is not locked." he said in a low raspy voice.

'Even if you beg...' his phrase during our intimate scene popped in my mind. His voice is so sexy, husky and seductive. I can't take.it off my head.

I watched his face and it illustrated an expression but not anger. No doubt not confusion even.

He looks more of passionate and longing...

I cleared my throat and tried to gulp a huge lump of nervousness down my throat. Hold yourself together Ashira.

"Uh, I'm not locked up?" that's a stupid question! He just said the room is not locked!

He shook his head and bit his lower lip. Oh! The sight! I felt awkward from his gaze, it's making me hot and heated!

"Not anymore, yes." his feet started walking towards me in a slow careful step.

I looked away from him, stopping myself to step backwards. Why am I being like this? Aftersex reaction? Oh no, I'm so new at this!

He stopped in front of me and his eyes found mine.

"Im no longer keeping you in the room but I suggest not to stroll outside the house. Is that okay with you?"

He's asking for my opinion? Oh hot damn! It's beyond okay!

I cleared my throat and looked away again, burnt from his flaring gaze that makes me want to jump on him and kiss his inviting lips!

"Okay..." is the only words I utter. I feel like I'll choke with my own words if I say more.

My eyes shift on his hand when it moved up and when it reached my cheek, I met his gaze again.

"I might sound crazy right now, but I want to hear it again. You're my mate, right?" his voice is low, careful, almost a whisper. He walked a step closer and our body are pressed with each other, making thousands of electricity run down my spine. I shiver.

I can't control myself when I leaned my head on his palm, feeling his warmth.

I nodded slowly as response, biting my lip to suppress a moan. Moan, Ashira? He just touched your cheeks! Get a hold of yourself!

"Say you're mine. Let me hear it. Please..." his voice is pleading, he leaned and his other hand found it's place on my waist, pulling my body closer to his. I groaned when his warmth surge on me more.

I'll never get tired of this sensation. Damn. It makes me crave for more!

I felt his breath on my ears and if I'm not mistaken, he nibbled on it lightly with his lips. My eyes screwed shut as my heart flutter in my chest.

"I-I'm yours, Aiden."

He groaned softly and looked at my eyes only for a second before claiming my lips with his.

The moans I'm trying to suppress was heard when his tongue glide inside my mouth, adding the pleasure of our joined lips.

I felt how his hand gripped hard on my waist and I know we felt the same. We want more than just a kiss.

I clutched on his shirt as I respond with his kiss. He is moving his lips with gentle and longing. This feels better than his rough kisses earlier.

He groaned and pulled his head away from mine, leaving my protesting lips hanged apart. I looked at his lip and it's moist and red from the kiss. I wonder if mine looked the same.

"Still sore?" he asked. I frowned when I did not understand it at first but when I realized what he means, my lips pursed and I bite my cheek.

"Uh, yes."

He sighed before planting a long gentle kiss on my forehead. "I'm sorry." he whispered, his lips is on my head.

I'm not sure what he's sorry for. Is it how he doubted me or making me sore?

Because if it's the latter, I'm not against it. Hell, he can make me sore all over again and it's okay with me!

I just nod a bit since whatever he's apologizing for didn't matter to me. What's important is how he treats me now.

"You believe me now?" I asked in a whisper. I felt him sighed before hugging me tight.

Then I felt it. His happiness, his joy. His mind is not at peace but he is satisfied. I felt how he accepts me, how he wanted me and cherish me at the moment.

He is letting his emotions flow to me. He is opening his feelings and that's more than enough than words.

I can feel my eyes burning and I'm about to cry.

"I never felt whole until I met you. I don't care what you are right now, stealer or not, I know you are mine. I want you mine." he whispered. My tears flowed on my cheeks like falls and I can't stop it.

I can feel his emotions and everything he is saying are sincere. It's making me cry more.

He held my cheeks with both of his hands and looked at my tearing eyes. "Ash, baby, don't cry. I'm sorry..."

I bit my lip and nodded my head. His thumb brushed my tears and he leaned again to kiss my forehead.

I can't contain my feelings. I'm being accepted by my mate despite my abnormality and it means the world to me. I dreamed for this.

"We'll talk about this later, okay?" I nodded my head, my tears had stopped coming. "We'll eat first and talk at the garden after. Is that okay with you?"

It's beyond okay, Aiden...

I wanted to speak but all I could manage is to nod. He smiled and planted a soft light kiss on my lips before brushing my cheeks for the tears again.

"Nick and Seth will join the breakfast." he informed.

I whispered. "I looked like a mess." I said and rubbed my eyes, I hope it won't look too puffy.

Aiden chuckled and pulled me for another heart warming embrace.

"My beautiful mess you are."

We both chuckled as I enjoy his hug.

I feel like a huge round stone was lifted from my chest and there's nothing I could be thankful for.
