Chapter 42

Call Me Alpha-Chapter 41

Ashira’s POV

My breath hitched when I felt his hand on the waistband of my jeans, teasingly tugging on it while his other hand gently squeezed on my thigh. My body temperature increased and I feel hot all over despite the cold shower I had.

“Aiden…”

“Hm?” he breathed on my hair. “Or I could just use my claw and make a slit right…here.” he trailed his fingers down the front of my jeans to where my throbbing womanhood were.

“Oh!” I moaned silently when he dipped his finger right where my wet entrance is. I held on his arm and clutched on his biceps like that would stop him at all.

I heard a deep grunt escaped his throat and that only meant he’s on his edge. I knew his patience was normally a short thread but when it comes to our physical interaction, it’s impossibly no thread to stop him. At all.

Sounds of utensils cluttering at the kitchen made my senses shot up. I held his hand and pull it away from my aching folds.

I saw that his claws are already out and my eyes widened from the realization. He was serious!

“You got to be kidding me!” I laughed and yelped when he bit a part of my back skin. “Aiden!”

“I’m determined to cut those tight hurdle, Ash.” he whispered.

I laughed again from the way he was acting right now but deep inside, I’m freaking out! He would do that just to… Oh, god.

“We can’t. It’s too early for that.”

He grunted.

“There’s no time for it, baby.”

I laughed. He’s so cute when he acts like this.

“You’re crazy.” I said chuckling. I bit my lip when he pulled away to look at me. His forehead was in a knot and he looked triggered of something. Confused, I raised a brow at him.

“Oh, yeah?” his voice was challenging, somehow. Then he shifted on his seat, scooped me in his arms and carried me bride style.

“Wha-”

“You’ll regret you called me crazy.” he grinned and started walking.

I yelped in a high-pitched voice when he adjusted the way he carries me while still walking. “Whyyy! Where are you taking me?”

He looked at me with the look like I’m being funny. “You’re seriously asking me that? I’ll show you how mad I am, what else?” Aiden even rolled his eyes and smirked.

I almost fainted.

We entered his office and he kicked the door close once we’re inside. He let me go and dropped me on my feet, his hands never left my skin as it settled on my waist. My top is crumpled up so I could feel how the heat of his palm intensify.

“You’re crazy.” I whispered again. His face was so close with mine and the oxygen left my lungs from mixed excitement and panic. I’ll never get used of his bold moves. It’s clouding my head a lot that I couldn’t think straight or of anything.

He growled and pulled me closer to his body. I could feel his hardness on my navel, and his lips on mine are less than an inch now.

“With you, I am.”

He claimed my lips after a soft low growl, crushing his lips hard on mine like he longed to do that for a while. I moaned when I tasted his mouth but responded right away.

I felt his fingers dug on my skin, pulling me even closer, dragging my body nearer like he wanted me to be absorbed by his large frame.

His hands moved to the small of my back, trailing lower until it tugged on my waistband. I’m dying from anticipation of what he’ll do to me. I yearned for his touch, for his kisses, for his everything. And this slow rough torture he’s giving me takes my breath away. For real.

From the back, his fingers roughly travelled frontal to where the button is. He undid it fast, pushing his hand inside the tight fabric and my underwear.

My lips parted that made me stopped responding to his kiss when he found my sweet spot. Damn, the effect he have on me never changes whenever he touches me there!

“Eyes on me, Ashira.” he growled sensually that it shot through my bones, striking my libido to increase.

I opened my eyes and found his eyes locked on mine. He was biting his lip but released it upon meeting my gaze. I watched his expression. He looked too satisfied with those knotted forehead and parted lips. His eyes are screaming pleasure from how he make me feel!

“Aiden!” I yelled when he started rubbing my clit fast, building an incredible feeling deep in my core. I can feel my orgasm fast approaching, making my eyes roll as his eyes burns me.

“I’m near!”

“Don’t come. Not yet.” he grunts and removed his hand on my sensitive part to clutch on my jeans and pulled it down to my knees. “Turn around.” he held my waist and turned me.

I was facing the wall, catching my breath, slowly dying from the delayed release I was silently looking forward into.

I heard him open his pants and letting it drop on his ankles. I turned my head to see him and he looks just right into my eyes.

Aiden was holding his length in his hand while the other went to my belly, urging me to bend slightly for the position he wanted. Gasping for breath, I took my eyes away from him. I feel even more aroused when I can see his expression!

“Oh!” I moaned when I felt the tip of his hard cock nudging on my entrance. My eyes screwed shut as I anticipated the feeling I was about to receive.

In one swift move, he was buried deep inside me. “Aiden!” He stilled for a minute, letting me adjust to his size. His cock were the real deal. It’s so huge that I can’t get used to it.

“Yeah, baby, scream for me.” he whispered in a husky voice. His hand held my waist, steadying me while the other went to one of my breast and cupped it.

My hand made a fist and I gasped nonstop as I felt him pulsed inside me. I can feel my insides clenching on his long and hard member which made my subsided orgasm build up again.

He pulled out of me slowly before thrusting back with a rough force, reaching the deepest depth of my core.

“Aiden…” My protest didn’t sound a bit of an opposition but otherwise. It came out as a lengthy moan of pleasure that added the fuel of Aiden’s drive to urge me to my edge.

Just like that, he started rummaging my insides in a deep rapid thrusts. His hands gripping on my waist as his fingers almost buried on my skin.

I screamed a loud and long moan when I felt my insides clenched on him but his thrusts kept its fast pace. My orgasm bursts like rainbow, making my eyes roll back. I feel like I’ll make my lip bleed from how I bite on it, savoring the intensity of my release while Aiden’s movement continues.

It took a few deep and rough thrust before I heard him grunt and stilled inside me. I made a soft moan as I felt his release flow straight to my womb, his fluid was hot and electrified my core.

We’re breathing unevenly when Aiden put his palm on my stomach and pulled my body to his. He rested his head on my shoulder and I can feel his hot breath on my skin.

“You’re mine…” he said possessively. It sounded like I’ll be gone, lost or cheat. He kept saying the words like I needed to be reminded of it. Damn.

No matter how good the words felt, it triggers something inside my heart that aches.

It triggers my abnormality, like I will choose to be lost or to be gone. Like being a stealer that I am would cheat on him.

I shoved those thoughts away. This is just my head, just my overthinking mind taking over.

“You’re mine.” he repeated with finality this time. He pulled me closer and caged me on his arms for an embrace

I didn’t say a word. I closed my eyes and joined him as we calm each other’s breathing.

THERE’S CERTAIN THINGS that I couldn’t control. Like right now, my chest feels like its being drummed hard. I was nervous. Excited but mostly nervous.

“Ohhh! I want to sleep more!” said Nick who’s coming down the stairs. He smells like bath and soap so I guessed he already showered.

“Eat your breakfast and come with me to the basement.” Aiden ordered. Nick just scoffed but headed to the kitchen anyway.

“Morning, Ash.” he greeted like he forgot to.

“Good morning.” I almost whisper. I just couldn’t contain the beating of my chest. It feels like I’ll be deaf from how loud my heart is screaming.

“Are you okay?” Aiden leaned closer as he asks. I straightened my back when I felt his hand run on my back.

“Just… nervous.”

“Of?” His forehead creased.

“Of…” I cleared my throat. “Of knowing that Zynia’s here. I’m excited and… nervous.”

Aiden chuckled and drew his head closer to plant a kiss on my hair. “I’ll be with you when you meet her. Don’t worry.”

I smiled. Its not that I’m scared talking with her alone. I was just… I don’t know. Uncertain if I’d want to know the facts about being a stealer that she might share.

“Seth will be here while I tend to curing the curse with Nick. After that, I’ll call you to the basement.”

I nodded and smiled to him.

“I’ll wait.”

“Oh, will you prepare breakfast for the… visitors? I can’t have Au do it.”

“Sure!” I merrily stood up and headed to the kitchen where Nick was ogling the foods served on the table.

“Ohh Ayy ekht-”

“Just eat, Nick.” I laughed as I cut what he was saying. Which I can’t understand, at all.

Aiden’s POV

I was leaning at the door frame as I watch Ash waters the plants at the garden. The fresh bright sunlight touches her skin and for my eyes, she’s almost glowing.

I sighed upon feeling jealous with how the sun kissed her exposed skin. Maybe I should snatch her from that task and kiss her all over again--

“Are you done gawking at your mate?” Nick popped out behind me and I halt myself from jumping. This guy sneaked to get near me! Or was he there the whole time? He was chewing loudly with a sandwich on his hand. I just cleared my throat and decided to look at the garden where Ash was.

Okay, just one last minute and I’ll turn around.

Nick scoffed beside me, probably looking at Ashira as well. “When will you stop watching her water those plants? When Zynia’s already dead at the basement?”

I growled and closed my eyes tight. Why is this asshole here, anyway?

“If she did die, I’ll blame those mouth of yours.” This asshole sure took his time eating! I tsk-ed and turn to leave my favorite view and headed inside. “Finish eating so we can work.”

“I’m done.” he said cheerfully and ate the sandwich in one bite. My forehead creased from the way he hurdles on swallowing that big bite of food.

“What a pig.” I shook my head. “Bring the food for the visitors.”

Nick laughed then took a drink before grabbing the wooden basket prepared by Ashira. He kept humming as he follows behind me. I walk to the door that leads to the basement under the ancestral.

We walked down the steep stairs. The basement were just on the last corner of the pool area.

I stopped in front of the door where the rogues were. I can smell them inside and they’re both awake. I decided to knock twice fast before turning the door handle to open.

Zeke was already standing protectively in front of his mother. We fought glances before my eyes turned to Zynia.

Her eyes are closed as she lay on the bed we prepared for them. I know she’s awake but I can hear her breathing was frail than of a normal sick person.

Her condition was serious. Just like what Zeke claimed.

“Good morning. We bought breakfast for the both of you.” Nick break the silence and walked to the table. He arranged the food silently while I continued standing.

In front of me was the legendary stealer. If I didn’t know the whole story and the truth behind what has happened in the past, I wouldn’t be here.

I cannot believe this.

Zynia opened her eyes and I found them without color. Her eyes are all white. Is she blind now?

“Loosen up, son.” she said. I’m not sure but I think her eyes were focused on Zeke. Its either she is not blind but the colors of her eyes had change or she just have an enhanced senses now that she loses one.

Zeke gave me one last glance before moving out of the way. He went to Nick and started putting some food on two plates.

Zynia tried to get up but I can see how hard it is for her to move so I went to her and helped her sit down.

“How are you feeling?” I decided to ask. My jaw clenched when I saw her smile a little. Slowly, I took a seat on the edge of her bed. Not sure if what I was feeling for her right now is pity or care.

“Not good.” she laughed. “It gets worse every day.”

My jaw tightened once more. I don’t know what to say. Her eyes are looking at me but I’m not sure if she can see me.

“You look like your mother. Almost like Zeus…”

My brow rises. So she could see me.

“I’m not blind. At least not yet.” she gave me another genuine smile and I gave a small one back.

“Thank you for agreeing to help, Alpha Aiden. I was hesitant at first but I figured I have no option but to come to you…”

I swallowed hard. I never knew how willing I was to do this but just now. “I’m… glad to be of help.”

She smiled. “Thank you.”

“Thank me when its done, Zynia.” I whispered, cannot believe to how humble I sounded. Damn. Right now, I feel like I found a long lost family member in her.

“Eat first, Mother.” Zeke walked to her mother and handed her a plate of food. I noticed how her hands trembles while reaching for her breakfast.

“I’ll wait until you’re done eating.” I didn’t wait any response and just walked out of the room. Once outside, I tilt my head and screwed my eyes shut.

I feel weird.

I walked to the pool and watches the light reflected by the water moves all around the darkness.

Sighing, I sat on the bar and poured liquor on my glass. I drink it straight and felt how the alcohol drew a line on my throat.

I can still remember Zynia. We used to visit to their pack when I was still a child. She still looks the same despite the effects of aging. Suddenly, whenever I look at her, I remember my parents and uncle Zeuracious.

And it hurts to… remember them gone.

‘Aiden?’ I was snatched from my deep thinking when I heard that angelic voice inside my head. Ashira… ‘Are you okay?’

I closed my eyes and smile to myself. Did I just flow my emotions to her, unintentionally?

‘Yes, baby. I’m fine.’ I answered.

It took a minute before she responded. ‘I’m here…’

I paused, gone in my own thoughts. Suddenly, I was calmed. I was once again peaceful.

And those two words filled my heart.

‘I love you…’ I closed my eyes as I said the words. I never question it now unlike before. Now, I’m sure.

‘I-I love you, too…’

I smiled upon hearing her response. I poured another shot but sip on it slowly this time.

I always feel like I’m on my own. But now, I’m not alone. From the day I met her, I never was. And never will be again.

THE AIR WAS THICK INSIDE THE ROOM as we gather. They had finished eating and nothing would snatch our attention with the matter needed to attend.

“Should I tell you first what curse I have-”

“Mother, they could ask about it after the cure. Please…” Zeke interrupted her mother and all I could see in his eyes were pleading.

Zynia pouted but look at me, unsure if her son’s suggestion was fine with me.

“He’s right.” I agreed.

“Before we go down to the cure, I’d like to be sure that no curse will transfer to Alpha Aiden. Uh, Zynia?” Nick said. I scoffed. I know he did to do that for my sake but I trust Zynia. I’ve always known her as the kind type. She won’t harm anyone just to survive.

“There will be no such thing, son.” Zynia said.

“I entered a blood oath, dog. We won’t-”

“Zeke…” Zynia interrupted. She looked at her son and then turn to us. “Forgive my son. There’s no proper education along living outside the pack.”

Nick coughed to halt himself from laughing and I narrowed my eyes at him.

“It’s alright. Let’s proceed to the cure.” I said. “How will this work?”

Zeke moved to the table and grabbed a table knife. “You’ll need to cut yourself with this and uh, try to bleed. You can control that right?”

I nodded and grabbed the knife he’s handling.

“Zeke.” Zynia called and reached for a bag. She held a small bottle with purple liquid inside. Zeke moved and reached for the bottle before walking back to me. “Drop the blood in there, Alpha Aiden.” she said.

I nodded and started cutting my palm while Zeke was opening the bottle.

It didn’t hurt at all. I controlled my body to delay the healing of the wound, letting an ample amount of blood to drop on the small bottle.

“That’s enough.” Zynia said. I looked at her and closed my hand for a fist, commanding my body to heal now.

My hand dropped on my side once it stopped bleeding and the wound was completely closed. I looked at Zynia and she smiled at me.

“Thank you for doing this, Alpha Aiden.”

I nodded and watched the liquid inside the small bottle. The purple liquid and my blood was separated.

“I’ll start now. Try to be quiet, boys.” Zynia said. I looked at her and her lips are moving but no sound was heard.

I looked at Nick and he shrugged. My eyes turned to Zeke and his eyes were closed, his lips are also moving but no sound was heard.

They are combining a chant.

‘Never saw a male wolf, uh, enchantress? What’s that called?’ Nick said in our mind.

‘Wizard. Warlock? I’m not sure.’

I haven’t saw a male wolf perform chants but now. It was a magic mastered perfectly by female. This is a new sight from us.

I noticed the purple liquid started moving rapidly. My blood formed a perfect round red ball in the middle of the purple liquid. I felt a slight heat on my palm where I cut myself. It does not sting but it makes me uncomfortable.

It took a whole two minutes before I saw the purple liquid swallow the round ball of my blood and then it burst inside the bottle.

Leaving a transparent liquid inside. There’s no trace of the purple liquid or my blood now. All that’s left was almost like a… water.

“Wow.” Nick exclaimed, shocked.

I gulped. I can’t feel any heat on my palm now. But what was it?

“S-Syringe.” Zynia said to Zeke. I almost run to her when I noticed that she’s having a hard time breathing. Her lips was paler than before and her eyes turned whiter than earlier.

I held her hand and rub her back. They must have performed a hard-level enhanting to be drained of energy like this.

Or maybe it was the curse.

Zeke hurriedly grabbed the bag and took a syringe. I watched him used it to suck the liquid inside the small bottle and run-walk to us.

I watched as he positioned the beveled needle on Zynia’s chest.

“Wait, what are you doing?” I said, grabbing his hand to stop him.

“Let me go.” he said, emphasizing each word in a hard tone then sighed and closed his eyes before looking at me again. Then it dawned to me. He was scared. “Mother told me what to do. I know what I’m doing. Let go of my hand before its too late.”

I didn’t say anything. I just loosen my grip and watched as he stabbed the needle in Zynia’s heart. I stood up upon hearing the long and loud scream of pain coming from Zynia.

“That looked… ouch.” Nick said behind me.

I saw Zynia trembled, her whole body was shaking and I noticed it.

The changes.

Her grayish hair turned brown just like before. Her eyes went back to its dark-emerald color and she’s no longer pale.

Her body stopped trembling and I heard her heartbeat thump normally again.

Is that it?

“It’s done.” Zeke announced.

I looked at him for a while and watched as he sighed while looking at his mother. Calm now. At ease.

“We’ll… leave you to rest.” I said, turning my head to Zynia. Her eyes closed for a moment as she breath in. Then she looked at me and shook her head.

“Thank you, Alpha Aiden.” she smiled. “Though I don’t need the rest anymore. Why don’t you call your mate?”

My jaw tightened, unable to speak.

She smiled even wider. “I know she have a lot to ask. Didn’t she?”

I closed my eyes. Yes, she does have a lot in her mind.

‘Ash…’ I called to her inside my head. I can feel her heartbeat somewhere in the ancestral. Again, she was startled.

‘Aiden?’ I closed my eyes upon hearing her voice inside my head.

‘You can come down here…’

It took a long silence before she answered. I understand why. She’s been waiting for these truths and facts about her…

‘Right now?’

‘Yes, baby. Now or whenever you’re ready.’

I don’t want her coming here if she isn’t. Again, silence filled between our portal. But she responded with the answer that I expect to hear from her.

‘I’m coming now.’
