Aiden's Pov"I said you should stop. Are you deaf?" The voice called out again and I tensed, my jaw working badly as I tried to keep calm. Whosoever it was starting to get on my nerves and it was difficult to stay calm anymore. I had never liked to be ordered around; all my life, I had been ordered around like a dog but had to endure it because I had no choice. But now, I wasn't under an alpha, neither did I belong to a pack, I was an outlaw and I would be damned if I allowed some assholes to order me around. "I said you should stop!" I felt a grip on my wrist, forcefully pulling me around and before I could react, he had punched me hard in the face. I staggered but soon regained my composure. A snicker escaped my lips as I touched my nose where he had punched me. It hurt like hell and I was sure my nose was broken but I still laughed."Are you laughing?" I heard him say and I raised my head to look at my attacker. He was a tall lanky man with heavy beards and he had a scowl on h
Adelia's PovIt was so noisy here and the noise hurt my ears. I didn't know where I was but this was the only pack I had seen ever since I began this journey and my instinct told me Aiden must be here. Now I could not explain why I felt so strongly that he must be in this pack. I couldn't catch his scent so it could not be that but my instinct never lied, and I knew it would not start lying to me now. It had been a day since I left the Blood Moon pack after speaking to Aiden's friends. After gaining no information about Aiden's whereabouts from them, I decided to embark on my search alone. No one seemed to be worried about Aiden, including his mother. I had visited her after her release and had asked if she knew anything about her son but the omega woman had only shrugged and had said with a dreamy smile that she believed her son was okay. I could still remember how confused I had been and I had gone ahead to ask her why she was so confident. The woman had shrugged again but had r
Adelia's Pov "Wasn't he the handsome man with Nicole? The one with the pretty golden-brown eyes?" The black-haired lady asked Morgan and Morgan only shrugged, the bored look still on her face. "Nicole?" I raised a brow. "Yes. I wonder if it's the same Aiden you are asking for though. What do you think, Morgan?" "I don't know, Molly. There are many Aidens, you know." The redhead was still looking at me scornfully. To be honest, she was pissing me off with the way she was acting. Was this how she was with everyone? "Well, he's very tall with beautiful golden-brown eyes like you said. Beautiful eyes that send shivers through your spine each time he looks at you. That's the Aiden I'm looking for." I said in a heartbeat, hoping that my description would help them out even when it was lame. But Molly seemed to get the gist because she clapped in excitement again. She must be a bubbly lady. "Yes! The handsome one." She squealed and I nodded. "Aiden with the thick brow, slim nose and f
Aiden could not take his eyes off the bloody corpse lying all around him. The werewolves who had attacked him had now morphed back to their human forms and their bodies lay in waste, blood oozing out from various parts of their lifeless bodies. They were dead and Aiden could not believe he had killed them. When he had threatened to feed on their corpse, he had never meant to kill them. He had only wanted to scare them off and perhaps injure them a little just to teach them some lesson, but the worst had happened. His wolf had done what it knew how to do best and it had gone ahead to rip them all apart. Aiden could still remember trying to stop his wolf from killing them, he had yelled, had even tried to morph back to his human self but all his effort had been futile because his wolf had not listened to him. It felt like they were two different entities with different minds and no matter how much he yelled, it was as though his wolf could not hear his voice. Now that he was thinki
Aiden kept staring at him, finding it funny that the man would think he knew his alpha. He had mentioned her name with so much pride and Aiden was sure he had expected him to cower at the sound. But Aiden was not in any way afraid, in fact, he was intrigued. Intrigued by this pack with a female alpha. "Let him go, Kunata!" Alpha Velvet sighed. Kunata finally let him go, but not without squeezing his shirt a little bit tighter and growling into his face. Aiden adjusted his tunic and leaned back to the heap of stones, his golden-brown eyes on the alpha who was slowly approaching him. "I don't think you should come close to him, alpha. I strongly believe he is dangerous." "Stop it, Kunata. I can take care of myself, remember?" They were talking about him as if he wasn't there. Aiden wanted to yell at them that he was right by their side and would appreciate it if they let him be but it seemed like the words had solidified in his throat, making it difficult to get them out. Alpha
Adelia's Pov The walls of the castle-like building were high, so high that they surrounded the house like a fortress. I sucked in a breath as I stood by the gate which was just as high as the walls and with another gasp for breath, I knocked at the gate. As I waited for a reply, I wondered why I was this nervous to see Aiden. The moment I had been waiting for was finally here, yet anxiety consumed my entire being. I tried to assure myself that I would do just fine but the uncertainty of Aiden's reaction to seeing me made me more nervous. The last time we had spoken to each other was on that dreadful day I rejected him. How would he react when he saw me again? Would he pull me into a fierce hug and tell me how much he had missed me or would he yell at me to leave?There were so many thoughts flooding into my head and I tried to listen to the positive ones even when it was difficult not to consider the negative ones.The gate finally opened, pulling me out of my thoughts, and a stern
Adelia's PovShe looked at me, her blue eyes watering as her lips quivered."I don't know. He left. He didn't want to hurt me so he left. He felt he would harm me if he remained here with me. But I don't think so. I told him we will get through this together. I know I will be able to calm him anytime he shifts. I'm not afraid of Aiden. I love him." She burst out in tears. I stared at her, my jaw dropped in shock and surprise. What was she saying? Why would Aiden think he would hurt her? Aiden was the sweetest person I have ever known so it just didn't sit right with me that he would hurt a person. Besides, did she just say she loved Aiden? What made her think she had the right?There were so many questions I wanted to ask but the exact opposite left my lips."I don't understand.""Do you know Aiden is an Epsilon?" She wiped her tears and sniffed. She was looking at me like I should know what she was talking about but I had no idea."A what?""An Epsilon. Don't you know what that mea
Adelia's Pov I had had enough of her speaking about Aiden like they shared something. Aiden was mine. He had always been mine and I would not watch some human girl snatch him away from me. He belonged to me. Sure, I had made some mistakes in the past but I was going to make amends. Aiden would forgive me and we would accept each other. No one would be able to come between us. No one! Not even this human girl! "Why?" Nicole asked confusion written plainly on her face. "I just told you I love him. I'm in love with Aiden and he loves me too. You won't regret taking me along. Aiden will be glad you did too. I'm sure he wants to see me. He misses me just as I miss him." "Shut up!" I exploded, my eyes darkening with anger. I could feel my body tense up as the muscles in my jaw ticked. The desire to ram her head to the wall was overwhelming. "Aiden doesn't love you!" "He does!" Nicole snapped at me. It was clear she couldn't see how angry I was. If she could, she would never have yel
