"Stolen?" Aiden's voice is deep and full. I can sense confusion in it and Im not sure but I heard a slight anger. His eyes are darted at mine that made me feel intimidated, somehow.
I gulped and swallowed the lump that formed in my throat. I can't understand how he affects me. It's pleasurable but also frightening. In a good way though.
I hesitantly nodded my head, suddenly out of words.
"What do you mean?" he asked again with the same tone. I can't read what he's thinking but I'm sure he's not happy with the flow of our conversation.
His gaze made me drown in fear, not to him, but to the way I felt from it. He's displeased with the information and I can feel it. It's like he's being angered by the thought but he's also suppressing himself. I don't understand but I tried to waive the thoughts and continued speaking.
"Being a stealer is not just about stealing mate of another. I, as a stealer, can be stolen
Ashira's POVI heard mumbling and whispers from the living room as I walked down the staircase.I woke up without Aiden beside me. Its weird because I'm not used with sleeping with anyone but when I opened my eyes and did not find him there, I felt sad. I told you, its weird.When I entered the living room, I saw everyone sitting on the couch. Ava, Seth, and Nick are the ones talking and thats where the noise is coming from. It seems like they're discussing about something. Aiden, on the other hand, was sitting comfortably while sipping on his coffee.When he saw me, he smirked and my cheeks flushed instantly.Last night, we did it three times in a row andthatsmirk clearly means something."Yes! Then we should add a beer fountain!" Nick suggested happily. Okay, I guess something is happening.Aiden tapped on the space beside him, giving me a small nod. His playful gaze didn't left his face.
Ashira's POV"You're crazy, Luce." I shook my head in disbelief. What has gotten into her? Escaping a mate, and an Alpha at that is simply not possible."I'll be more crazy being with Jacob, Ashi! Please!"I never saw Lucy like this... broken. Or lost. I can hardly tell. Her eyes has puffed just from the bits of tears and I can say she's been crying a lot to have such sensitive eyes.I'm not sure if I must help her but a part of me pity her. I don't want to see her like this. Never."How do you plan this exactly? I'm not agreeing with your idea but I'm curious how you'll pull this off." I said, calmly. Im trying to digest the situation. Avoiding to decide hastily or this could be worse. But it can be better, too. Oh, god. This will sure explode my head."Youre not agreeing yet."her voice is full of hope. "You won't do much, Ash. All I ask is someone to cover
Aiden's POV"Aiden! Oh my God!"I watched my mate's friend walked right to me, panicking and hysterical as she grabbed a fistful of her hair. Her eyes dilated, her lips trembling and I hate how my chest heavied and ache andfuck! Something bad did happen!This is the fucking first time that I felt this way. I can't find my breath, I can't focus my mind, I can't think straight, and I don't know what to do or what the fuck is happening.For a moment, I was immobile... stunned. And my fucking head is barely holding itself. Was this the mate bond? Is she gone?No! Fuck no!I can feel that she's still alive! She has to!"Where is she?" my voice growled and low. I can't think straight. I can't sense her around and that gave me the urge to punch anyone or shift and bite off heads.Fuck.Where the fuck is she? "Tell me!""I don't know! My God! We were just running and I overrun he
Ashira's POVAn hour and a half ago..."Go! Run, fast, Luce!"My heartbeat is drumming like crazy. I can't sense Jacob but I can feel Aiden was around. Seth must distract them or else- well, neither way will be worse. But I choose that my best buddy won't suffer more than she's already experiencing.Whatever it is.Lucianna ran past me, getting her quickest pace. I knew she feel the frustration and this nerving situation right now.I can see the North border with my enhanced sight. Two-no- three guards were there.Shit.Maybe I could distract them?I was about to run faster and reaching to set there first but suddenly, I was on air!"What the-""Hm, scent of Aiden. You're coming with me."He's carrying me like I'm a sack of cotton and
Aiden's POVI can't explain my feelings right now.I was delighted, relieved even. But my trouble of a mate can't stop murmuring about another possible setback.Sigh.I think Ashira was seducing me, and it was effective. I can feel my crotch swelling on my pants. The scent of her aroused fluid lingers on my nose like toxins. It's almost unbearable to held myself back but no, I can't jump on her now.I won't.Damn, its so hard to say."You're tempting but that won't work on me right now, Ash. We'll talk about the Rogue tomorrow. For now, I need you to rest."I managed to smirk as I said the words. I can feel her frustration and I'm not sure where it was from. She instantly shut her emotions, blocking me to feel more of it.I'm dismayed but relieved at the same time. Now, I won't fought myself altog
Ashira's POVI'm staring far to nothing with a knotted forehead. My attention for Seth who's doing some 'playful' back and forth steps beside me was lesser than my thoughts."I don't get it, why can't I go with them?" I seemed like a child throwing tantrums but Seth didn't respond. "Hey!" He still ignored me. "Can you please halt your steps?" He didn't. "Seth!"I grabbed on his elbow to stop him from walking. I'm sure my nose was flaring right now because I'm starting to be fuming mad from my thoughts and Seth's unconcerned behavior.Seth was not bothered at all!The last thing I'd like to feel was this. To be frustrated and confuse. A lot of questions kept lingering inside my head and I'm dying that I'm a mile away from gaining a solution. Or more like, what I wanted to have."Ash, both of us can't go, okay?" He said, stomping his feet as he ta
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 i
Aiden's POVI watched my mate as she sleeps on my shoulder. She looked so peaceful, she's like an angel fallen right beside me.Lucky me.Soft knocks outside our bedroom door was heard. I slowly shifted my weight to ease Ashira off my shoulder, minding not to wake her up. I covered her naked wholeness with blanket and she let out a groan, her body moved a bit but she didn't stir. Before another knock transpire, I ran fast to the door, opened it and caught sight of Nick's face with his fist in the air."Be quiet." I ordered in a low still voice. He nodded and took a step back as I walked out of the room and gently closes the door.I'm not sure why Nick's knocking on my door at this time of the night when he clearly know that I don't want to be disturbed. I just hope he's not here to whine about their trip tomorrow."What is it?" I asked after the door lock has clicked. I studied his expression and that face tells me something
