"Go on a date with me." Aiden suddenly asked out of the blue"What?" She asked raising her brows"Go on a date with me," he said again"No,""Please." She looked at him and saw something different in his eyes something she never saw before, she didn't answer just kept staring at him"Please go on a date with me?" He pleaded and for some reason she couldn't refuse. She agreed to go on a date with him. He was ecstatic when she agreed to go out with him; he had been trying to ask her out on a date for a long time but the right time had never come. As a result, he chose the wrong time. His pack had just been attacked, and the prisoner he had finally apprehended after such a long time had escaped. But, being in her comfort, he couldn't help but ask her out on a date.__It had been a few days since

 The hospital corridor looked like something out of a Star Trek episode. Everything that could shine shone brightly. There were stainless steel, sleek floors, and natural images on the walls in colors as vibrant as glacier melt-water or spring flowers. The air smelled fresh and clean, not sterile. Music was playing in the background at just the right volume to lift the spirits of the patients and staff. But the best part was the ceiling, which was simply clear and high arched under where he was furiously pacing back and forth outside the room where his mate was being treated. His sleeves were folded till his elbow, the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, and his hair was tousled from the number of times he ran his hands through them. His beast was at bay, clawing at his mental barrier, desperate to be free and to be close to their mate. He was furious, angry, irritated, and m

 Ariel was laying in their bed as the sunset over the horizon, a stack of pillows behind her back for support and a book in hand. The door opened and his scent enveloped her; soon he walked in, his jaw clenched, body tensed and an unreadable expression on his face, his eyes cold, and she set the book aside and inquired,"Is there something wrong?" He didn't respond to her question; instead, he came straight up to her and hugged her, his nose buried in her neck. He took a few whiffs of her scent, pushed her behind the pillow, and simply laid with her. She was taken aback by his sudden behavior, but she said nothing and just lay there with him curdling her. His thick hair was caressed by her hand. And with a low growl of approval, he drew her in closer, if that was even possible. His tensed muscles soon relaxed and he drifted off to sleep. She, too, fell asleep after a while, su

!Trigger warning: Blood and violence! After their encounter, they returned inside, and the rest of the dinner was quiet. Ariel was quiet from then, Aiden didn't question about the sudden change of behavior. They went to sleep after dinner and barely had any conversation. Ariel woke up the following morning on her side of the bed, alone. Aiden was nowhere to be found as she looked around the room. She stood up and dressed after taking a shower. A knock came on her door a few moments later. When she opened the door, one of their warriors stood there with another woman. The petite woman was dressed in maid uniform and carrying a platter of food. Her black hair was neatly pulled up in a bun, she had brown eyes, and her lips were slightly parted. She appeared nervous, and sweat was forming on her brow.

  They spent the entire night in the bathtub filled with cold water. Throughout the night, he changed the water several times and kept her close. Doing everything he could to lessen her pain. When the sun came up and her temperature dropped, he assisted her in getting out of the water. He brought out one of his shirts and a fresh pair of boxers. Male wolves specifically Lycans and Alpha's are very possessive over their mate when they are going through heat. He wanted her to be surrounded by his scent alone, thus he wanted her to be in his clothes. After drying her hair, neck, and legs, he handed her the clothes and a fresh towel and returned to the closet to change and give her privacy to change as well. He was dressed in a grey shirt and black slacks. He mind-linked for breakfast and got out of the closet. She had just worn the boxers and was putting her hands through the sleeves
