Chapter 16
AIDEN’S POV
—
I wonder if she thinks I’m being cold…I honestly hope not because I want nothing more than to bend her over and love her , but it is necessary for the full moon .
I’m not a big believer in theories , but when I was younger , my grandmother told me , when I meet my mate , I have to wait for the full moon to rise for the best surprise .
I asked her what was the surprise and she said that when we mate for the very first time and I mark her on the full moon , that’s when we’ll become stronger , that’s when it’s an undeniable love .
And I do believe her , my grandma wasn’t one to believe in a lot of things too , so when she believed , I did too .
I notice her chewing slower and slower , her throat tightening .
“Are you okay ?” I ask as I finished my sandwich and her lips smiled at me , but her forest orbs were in distraught .
“You don’t have to finish it .” I shake my head as I stand up and round the kitchen island to get to her , lifting the plate .
“Spit it out .” I nod , but she just stares at me with horrid filled eyes .
“It’s okay .” I rest my free hand on her shoulder and she slowly takes the plate , spitting the food out .
Her eyes tear up and she glances at Stefan and Rosie staring at her , Rosie has a pity expression and Stefan does too .
“Are you okay ?” Rosie asks as she untangles from Stefan’s arms and comes to my mate’s side .
Eleia nods and I wipe the single tear that rolls down from the side of her eye .
“Come on .” I hold out my hand and she batts her eyelashes , glancing up at me with a forced smile .
It was difficult to see a person not being able to eat .
“You too .” I nod at Rosie and Stefan’s glare bores into the side of my face .
I look at him , frowning , “We need the doctor for them .” I inform him and he scoffs , “Rosie is fine .”
“She hasn’t even touched her sandwich , they need help .” I shake my head and his eyes glances at her plate to her untouched sandwich .
I could see the guilt covering my best friend’s face and I realise that he did not even notice .
“It’s okay , let’s just take them .” I shrug and he nods .
I could tell the girls were uncomfortable , but I sigh , pulling my mate into my arms .
“It will be a woman . She’s very nice , she’s gentle and we’ll be there , okay ?” I try to calm her and she nods , her shaky hands clasping my shirt .Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Let’s go .” Stefan nods as we walk out of the door and stroll to the doctor’s home that’s less than five hundred meters away .
I knock on the door and she immediately opens .
“Alpha .” She bows and I nod , “Good afternoon .” I greet her with a warm smile and her eyes flick to my mate .
“Who’s this ?” She asks , sticking her hand out .
I glance down to the side , “My mate .” I smile .
“Congratulations Alpha .” The doctor smiles and opens the door for us .
“Beta Stefan .” The doctor blushes and I pray to goddess that Rosie doesn’t notice .
“Doctor , this is my mate , Rosie .” Stefan introduces her and I give him a mental fist bump for doing this right .
“It’s nice to meet you .” I could tell the doctor wasn’t pleased , but she handled it gracefully .
I make a mental note to ask him about it later .
I know that Stefan is a big flirt , but the doctor ?
Seriously ?
“Hi .” Rosie mutters as we lead them inside and I make my way to her at home office .
I sit down , pulling Eleia in my lap and she hasn’t said I word .
The way she holds my hand tightly tells me that she’s nervous and as she sits sideways on my lap , I rub the small of her back .
The doctor sits down , smiling at us and Rosie sits on Stefan’s one leg as there’s only two seats .
“What can I do for you ?” She asks , forcing a smile and I could tell that this was a strange encounter .
No one ever comes in here with another couple .
“Well I want diet plans for these girls .” I clear my throat and her eyes widen .
“But they’re already thin .” She shakes her head , confusion written all over her face .
A low chuckle escapes my lips , “No , they’re too thin . They can barely eat…” I stare the doctor down and her lips form an o , no sound coming out as she realized .
“They came from the same pack ?” She asks as she grabs a book and I hum in response .
Stefan barely says anything , he sits holding his mate as if she is going to disappear .
“Okay .” The doctor smiles , nodding and I wait as she stands up and heads over to her printer .
She scans something out of a book and it makes two copies .
She hands me both papers , “These diets for weight gaining will do , they can choose how much they want to eat , but they have to try three times a day , twice for the first week .” She smiles as she rounds her desk and sits back down .
My eyes trail over the amount of fruits and meat and I nod , lifting my gaze , “Thank you .” I smile before letting my leg hop and Eleia stands , staring at the doctor with a smile .
“Thank you .” She mutters in a soft voice and my heart beams at her soft tone .
She’s so innocent , I hate that this happened to her .
I stand up , taking my mate’s hand and Stefan and Rosie join and I hand them the one paper .
“See you .” I raise my brows before walking out and stepping foot out of her house was like weight lifting .
I keep on staring at the paper as we walk back to my house .
“It looks good , I might eat this .” Stefan jokes and the girls giggle .
“So maybe we can make bacon and avocado salad for you guys tonight ?” I suggest and they nod .
“Sounds good .” Eleia yawns and I stare at her with worried gaze as her eyes are narrowed tiredly .
“You tired ?” I ask her as Stefan and Rosie disappear up the stairs .
She nods and I don’t hesitate to scoop her up into my arms .
Her daisy scent has my groin harden like a rock .
It’s so hard to not do anything when she smells so good .
Carrying her up the stairs , she has yawned three times and I lay her down on the bed , her body curling up as she holds the pillow .
“Where are you going ?” She asks as I head to the door .
“I have work to do .” I smile and she chews on her bottom l*p , making me gulp as her innocent eyes trail my body before she makes herself comfortable and closes her eyes .
I stand still , staring at her with a smile before I make my way down the stairs and into my office .
I pull up everything I have on the Night pack .
I go through everything Eleia has told me and what I had others find out by spying on them .
I finish up before heading outside and I train with my warriors .
While fighting one of our bests , I bellow loudly to the others , “I want more warriors , I want them to hurt !” I growl while punching the guy , he blocks it with his forearm .
“Good .” I nod , backing up before I drop and swing my leg out to his , knocking him on his a*s .
“Never think the fight is over , always have your eyes open and be on your guard .” I raise to my feet , a layer of sweat coating my skin .
The guy g****s before raising and anger is written all over .
I don’t like pissing my men off , but I have to keep them on their feet , I need them ready .
Everyone stands around us , some sparring one on one and other sparring two to one .
They switch out now and then and after an hour , I clear my throat , drawing their attention and all of them gather in a circle around me .
“So I want you ready , when I don’t train with you , I still want you to train . I don’t want injuries or fights because I want Alpha Regan from the Night pack to pay . I found my mate , she was from his pack and it’s the last straw for him after what he and his pack did to her .” I announce and they all nod as I speak , I turn as I speak , looking each one in the eye .
Well the ones I can see .
“So , in a week , I want all of you ready . New warriors , I want them trained . Got it ? I don’t care if you meet your mate from another pack , you stay here until we finish that pack .” I growl and they nod .
“Thank you , that’s it for today . Work out at night and hit the shower before bed . Stay on your feet .” I clap for them and it makes them smile .
Some alpha’s demand respect , I earn mine .
I give my people what they need , respect but boundaries .
I love my job , I love being the alpha , I love being a leader and I love every member of this pack .
This is my family , we aren’t a big pack , but we have twenty members more than The Night Pack , but we’re also stronger , better skilled .
They all disappear when I walk up towards my home and I look back , seeing some talking before I enter my house , tossing my shirt onto the bench in the foyer before I head up the stairs .
I’m hot , sweating and half out of breath , but it’s not showing .
I enter the room to see Eleia sleeping on her stomach , her one leg hiked up , her a*s looking phenomenal as it’s pressed into the air .
My tongue drags over the top row of my teeth as I stare at her , her shirt riled up to right below her breasts , showing the gashes on her back and the slight exposure of her ribs .
I want to crawl over her and love her , but I need to wait .
I turn and head into the bathroom to take a shower .
