Chapter 30: Uncovering The Covered
I was hesitant to leave her alone after witnessing her going under attack. Her stable condition was enough, but my heart wasn’t giving permission to do so.
A constant fear of losing her had invaded my inner mind. There wasn’t anyone whom I trusted her with. Orson and Waylen needed at the meeting, or they could have accompanied her.
“You may go.” I turned to hear my aunt. The maid bowed her head while standing at the door. I thought aunt went into her chamber.
“Aunt? What are you doing here?” She walked closer, glancing at Aylin with a tired smile, and sat beside her.
“Son, our Luna is exquisite.” She complemented turning her head from my chest to see her properly.
She was always warm to me, but I wasn’t welcomed with any warmth in my life except this fragile creature sleeping in my arms.
Chapter 31: Oil In FireHe cowered back at the corner, hearing my growl. How dare he bring my mate into this mess? I clutched his neck and hurled him over the wall. A loud scream interrupted the ruling calmness of the cellar.“No, No… I am telling you the truth. Ask that fae, is her aura golden or not?” He said in scooting away, and my steps halted at the mention of Orson.I glanced at him, who turned his face away from me while nodding at empty, making everyone understood the meaning of his unspoken words. She had a golden aura.Waylen walked towards him, dragging him back from the corner, holding his face. I approached the open window standing in front of it and inhaled the cool breeze.I don’
Chapter 32: My First Kiss Aylin’s POV, The feeling of getting squeezed broke my unending darkness. My entire body was as heavy as stone, making it difficult to move. The soothing sound of birds was ringing in my ears. I opened my eyes to witness the calmness of the world, Rowan was deep asleep. He was holding me tight over his chest. His breathing was serene but the creases over his forehead mirroring his stress. His worried face reminded me of the attack in the forest. We were returning to Avarland and rogues attacked with the pain erupting in my shoulder. I groaned at my sudden realization of a severe wound. He startled and fastened his hold over me. “Too tight, Rowan.” He was watching me panic. His breathing was
Chapter 33: Inclining heart There wasn’t the destination of my pounding heart. Everything was stirring my soul, his smell, his lips, his taste as if I was getting familiar with myself once again. The touch of his rough hands on my bare skin drowned me more and more. I was so happy, my cheeks ached; I want to cherish this happiness given by the moon goddess till the end. She was giving me the fruit of my faith in her. I was highly excited to meet the influential people in Rowan’s life. Despite the mildly hurting shoulder, I was feeling refreshed and relaxed after Rowan’s surprise and company with Laura. Her chatter was filling the emptiness enveloping me in his absence; he just left for training, but my legs were hurried to reach the breakfast table to see him. “Can’t wait to see Alpha Rowan?” Laura nudged my elbow, turning me
Chapter 34: The Test of JealousyIt’s been a week, I was living with a pack, and it was exciting. I ate with people and visited new places with Laura and Rowan. It felt like a dream come true for me.Orson was giving me the training to meditate for a few hours daily and teaching me to create a bond with natural elements. He promised to start actual training from next week. I wanted to know my power more, so I could understand myself more.Rowan was getting bolder day by day, and I couldn’t stop enjoying his moves. He was busy training warriors but sneaks into the room to steal kisses. The hunger for his kisses was not something he wanted to satisfy. It was increasing with the crescent from the dark sky.His every touch was filled with affection, care, but had
Chapter 35: Her Beaming EmotionsWith a pounding head, my eyes opened. A bright light was peeping through the window. Ahhh, it’s morning, I hate it especially after drinking a lot. When I couldn’t turn around, I found Rowan’s half naked body resting over mine.My head snapped to check my clothes and was relieved to find them all over my body, if I ignore the torn hem and one sleeve, everything looked perfect.What the hell happened here? His shirt was ripped into pieces. It was practically impossible to recognize.After forcing my brain, I remembered drinking with Laura and mocking Sharon. I didn’t know when I arrived. Why is this guy considering me a mattress? He sighed and rubbed his face over my stomach.“Rowan… Wake up.” I shook him, but he slept, turning his face.“Move” I clutched my waist tight as I tried to move
Chapter 36: A lesson and Wedding AnnouncementA pointed arrow buried in my heart, witnessing the flooding disgust in her eyes. I couldn’t believe it. She thundered it. I was frozen at her sudden outburst.“You filthy creature, you want to be beside him?” Her clenched hands were shivering as she took steps towards me. Loud gasps were echoed as words left her mouth.“Use your trashy mouth precisely, Sharon. Don’t make yourself regret.” Anger was already blazing in my body, burning with all tenderness. I know she has really an obsession with him, but it doesn’t give her the right to disrespect me. She needs to be put in place.“Sharon-” She waved at Luna Ryane with her hand.“He is mine. We are about to get married.” Her glaring eyes were utterly red while screaming. It broke the upper limit
Chapter 37: Heat And FightRowan’s pov,Her soft skin was burning like a furnace under my touch. It made me miserable. The thought of her going through heat trembled me and I announced our marriage instantly the moment it crossed my mind.I don’t want to imagine her screaming again. I have witnessed some rogue she wolfs during their heat, and I don’t want that for my Aylin.“What???” She was shocked and flickered her eyelids but when she realized I was serious about it and her face was stunned.“Yes, go. Have a cold bath. I will join you in a while.” She was watching me with her gorgeous, widened eyes. I had to make a decision.“Why are we getting married in such a hurry?” She was confused, but she was more offended by my urgency.“And what with the burning skin? I feel nothing” I am glad. Her confe
Chapter 38: Offer to Mark Aylin’s pov, His harsh denial took me off guard. He didn’t hesitate a bit while saying that. I ran off, rolling down the trail of heated teardrops to seek refuge somewhere. My aimless walk was fruitless, they were walking, but didn’t know where. The coldness in his eyes was reminding me of the words of Sharon. She was right. He never wanted to mark me as his. I thought he found out about my and Sharon’s earlier fight and decided to marry me, but it turned out to be my heat. Everything fell apart when he did the same thing. Luscious coldness made me realize I was in the garden. The Waxing gibbous moon was trying to hide behind Avaline mountains as it didn’t want to see me anymore. I walked up to the nearby bench and sat down to take a breath. I wanted him to mark me. Not having his mark and getting married won’t strengthen the mate bond. My head was about to burst
