Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha and his Awaited Mate: Kabanata 271 - Kabanata 280

A breathless chuckle escapes me at the sheer absurdity of us destroying expensive wedding clothes, but I honestly couldn't care less about the ruined outfit. I just want him, naked and beneath or above me, right this second.”How do you...want me…husband…” Ashton mumbles in between kissing and nibbling my neck.”I just…want…need…you” I groan as I fall flat on my back on the bed.”Lube?” Ashton grits through his teeth, when I pull him flushed against me and our erections brush.”There…” I manage to point while I kiss and touch him everywhere. Ashton lifts his head enough to take a look and notices the night stand. In no time I feel his lubed, throbbing cock brushing my entrance.”Are you ready love?” He murmurs and lifts his face to look at me.Making sure, I’m okay.”Yes” I moan and grab his ass in my hands. ”Fuck” Ashton groans and settles in between my thighs.”I’m going to make love to you all night…husband…” Ashton whispers in my ear and gently eases into me.”Oh fuck, fuck, babe

AidenIt’s the beginning of a new semester. I have just gotten inside the main building when one of the professors approaches me.”Aiden, I’m so glad I found you! We have a problem, follow me” he explains and guides the way to an empty study hall.”Okay, so here’s the deal. We have a new student who transferred here and her tutor had a ruptured appendix and they are at the hospital and it’s a whole other mess. What I’m saying is, you are minoring in literature, correct?” The professor is looking at me with pleading eyes.”Um, yes…” I reply, not understanding what this has all got to do with me.”Excellent, Julie is majoring in literature so you should be able to help her out, right?” He looks at me with hopeful eyes.”Sure, I’ll do it” I sigh and agree.”Wonderful, wait for her by the student affairs desk, she should come in at 9 o’clock!” The professor explains and leaves. Just great.At 9 o’clock sharp I am waiting for this Julie girl to arrive. I’m waiting and waiting. Great, I hat

The next day, the literature lecture hall is buzzing with the chaotic energy of a new semester, but my entire focus is locked on the door.When Julie finally walks in, my heart does a familiar, violent flip—but the mate-bond immediately spikes with a cold, protective alarm.The bubbly, radiant girl from yesterday is gone. Her shoulders are slumped, her eyes are cast downward, and the brilliant light in her dark brown gaze is completely clouded over.She spots me and walks over, forcing a small, fragile smile that doesn't even come close to reaching her dimple. "Hey, bestie" she whispers, her voice lacking all its usual pop."Hey" I say softly, my instincts instantly roaring at me to stand up, to pull her into my arms, and to fight away whatever made her look this small. "Are you okay, Julie? You look tired.” I whisper.As soon as we sit down in the back row, the professor starts lecturing, but Julie doesn't even open her notebook. She stares blankly at the chalkboard for ten minutes

He doesn't ask questions. He doesn't hesitate. True to his word, it feels like barely a heartbeat passes before there is a soft, urgent knock on my door. I stumble over and pull it open. Aiden is standing there, completely out of breath, his hair messy from running, and his dark eyes wide with intense concern. The second he sees my tear-streaked face, his expression softens into pure, raw empathy.I don't even say a word. I just launch myself at him.Aiden catches me flawlessly, his large, solid frame absorbing the impact as his strong arms wrap securely around me. He kicks the door shut behind him and carries me over to the bed, sitting down and pulling me right onto his lap like I weigh nothing at all.I bury my face in his chest, crying my absolute heart out. I cry so hard my shoulders shake, soaking the front of his soft t-shirt with my tears and mascara. I spill everything. Between gasping breaths, I reveal the breakup, crying about Chad’s awful words, his entitlement, and the cr

JulieAiden's footsteps fade down the hallway, and the moment the heavy dorm door clicks shut behind him, an agonizing, suffocating silence crashes into the room. I stand completely frozen in the middle of the floor, staring blankly at the empty space where he just stood.Why on earth did I let him leave?My heart is still hammering frantically against my ribs, but this time it isn't from the electric tension—it's from a sudden, fierce wave of frustration at my own lack of courage. I wanted so desperately to tell him to stay. I wanted to grab his forearm again, drag his massive frame back onto the bed, and bury my face right back into his chest. But I panicked. I was so overwhelmed by the sheer, magnetic pull vibrating between us, and so terrified of my own sudden vulnerability, that I defaulted to my usual bubbly defense mechanism and played along with the awkward departure.I take a slow, heavy step forward and faceplant straight into the pillow he was sleeping on. I inhale deep
