Aiden POVWhen we get to our table, I pull out a chair for Thalia and my brother Isaiah pulls out a chair for Mia. “Hey. I’m Isaiah. I’m Aiden’s brother and beta.”Mia smiles shyly, “Nice to meet you.”I smirk, ‘Are you crushing over my mate’s sister?’‘What? No. I was just being polite.’‘Do you think I missed how you just looked at her?’‘Man…whatever.’ Isaiah said and his cheeks warmed up.‘She isn’t eighteen yet. No, messing around with Thalia’s sister.’‘I wouldn’t take advantage of her, bro. What do you take me for?’‘I have to say it, bro. I know you won’t though.’“Mom, Dad, you all remember Thalia.” I said.“I’m so glad the Moon Goddess worked everything out for you and Aiden, Thalia.” My mom said.“Thank you, Rebel. I am thankful to be part of the pack too.” Thalia responds.My dad then speaks up, “I would love to hear how you got out of marrying that guy.”Mia speaks up, “Thalia’s plan was flawless!” Her face is full of pride for her sister. I can tell they are very close.
Aiden POVI wake up before Thalia does. She is cradled against me again. It’s the best fucking feeling in the world. She nuzzles into my chest and breathes out content. I know that she is nervous but I think she also feels safe with me. It may just be a foreign concept for her. Given her family, the fact she had to escape, the way she stiffens at touches, it makes sense. I just wish she would tell me what happened to her.I know Reid said to go at her pace, but it’s really hard for someone like me to do that, because I want to fix everything and protect her. She doesn’t seem to be comfortable with that idea either. For now though, I will be content to hold her while she sleeps.After a little while I hear Thalia yawning. She is waking up and it’s really adorable. She looks like a kitten stretching out. She stops when she realizes she is practically on top of me again.“Oh, Goddess. I’m sorry.” She scrambled to sit up.I chuckled, “We are mates, Thalia. Don’t be sorry. I love when you
Aiden POVI’m purposely going to give myself a heart attack. That kiss was everything. I wanted to keep going. I wanted to carry her to the bed and climb over top of her and make love to her for the entire night. When I went for the hem of her shirt, I barely touched her skin when she pulled back. I went too far and she pulled away.‘At least this time she wasn’t scared to kiss us.’ Leon said.‘No. She wasn’t. She stiffened a little at the hem though.’‘I think it’s an improvement. We got to kiss her three times today.’ Leon said excitedly.‘You’re right, we did.’ I said with a smile.‘I like that she is a hitman too.’‘Yeah, what’s the deal with you and the whole hitman thing? Every time you hear it, you start dancing around in my head.’‘It means we get a bad ass Luna. Once her wolf surfaces, I bet she will be a kick ass wolf.’ He says happily.I shake my head and laugh. I walk into the shower and smell my mate’s scent. It sends any blood I have left in my body straight to the alrea
Thalia POVI noticed that my acceptance was different from Mia’s. She only had to accept Aiden as her Alpha. I had to accept him as my mate and Alpha. We are fated mates and I get it, but it made me feel trapped.I shouldn’t feel this way because Aiden has been good to me and my sister. He has been at the ready to defend and protect me more than once. I am overwhelmed though. Overwhelmed by his kindness. Overwhelmed by his need to protect me. Overwhelmed by his warmth. Just overwhelmed.But trust. That’s hard for me; especially given my past. I never know what cruelty life is going to throw my way. How can I trust he will not turn into some sort of monster later. My father supposedly loved my mother at one point, but now he hits her. What if Aiden does that to me? No. Better to keep him at arm’s length.Once we get back to our room, I go to the closet, only to see my side has more clothes. I turn around and look at Aiden. He gives me a shy smile, and once again, I’m swept up in it.“I
Aiden POVSeeing Thalia with her family, especially her sister, let me know how much she values family. Once again, it seems contradictory to her relationship with her father. Whatever happened between them must have been bad.“So Thalia, we know your sister loves medicine and wants to become a doctor,” Sophia said, “What about you? What interests do you have?”She looks stumped by the question. So I try to help her, “The first time I saw Thalia, she was on stage singing. She was beautiful and has a beautiful voice.”Thalia looks at me gratefully. “I like to sing, Tia. Outside of that, I like doing make up and hair.” She said. Which caught me off guard. I mean, she doesn’t need any makeup. She is a natural beauty.Sophia gave her one of her gentle smiles. It’s the smile she gives when she accepts the answer but knows there is more to it. Maybe she has information she can tell me about later. I need to remember to ask her when we are alone.“Prima, how do you feel about becoming our L
Aiden POVWhen Thalia said ‘yes’, I was thrilled. I thought she was beginning to trust me. When I felt her body shiver and lean into me, I thought she was relaxing.Then she pulled away. She said she was nervous about the kiss. I know it’s more than that, but I don’t know how much though. She said she had never been kissed before. Does that mean Reid and I are wrong in our suspicions about her being assaulted?‘Aiden, do you really think someone being assaulted would be kissed too?’‘I don’t know Leon. I have never assaulted anyone. Nor am I sick in the head to want to assault someone either.’‘I’m just saying, kissing someone seems like an intimate act between lovers. Not a rapist and the victim.’ Leon answers.He isn’t wrong. There are several things that are considered intimate between lovers and in no other situation, would you normally see it happen outside of that kind of relationship. I just don’t know how to get her to trust me.I personally, was enjoying her lips pressed agai
