Chapter 4
ELEIA’S POV
—
With his hand on my back , we enter the large home and it’s quiet .
“Is this your alpha’s pack house ?” I mutter in a soft voice and he chuckles , his deep voice making me tingle everywhere .
“This is my house , I am the alpha .” He smiles and my eyes widen in shock .
He’s an alpa too ?
He has a house to himself ?
What if he’s like Regan ?
What if he’s going to use me and then leave ?
I gulp , trying to think of something else , anything else to occupy my mind .
“Aren’t you scared of an attack ?” I raise my eyebrows as I glance at him and he shakes his head , I’d rather talk about something else than live in my mind right now .
“No , there are patrols and my beta does live with me , for now .” He shrugs , his black hair still damp .
“I meant to thank you .” I smile , standing in just his shirt that fits me like a dress .
He stares at me , his ocean orbs taking me in as a wide smile crawls up his face .
“Well a damsel in distress needs her knight on a white horse .” He grins as if he’s that man .
‘Maybe he is .’ Crystal chimes hopefully , but hope is just another thing that is to be crushed at some point .
“Stefan !” He calls out to goddess knows who .
“In here !” A deep voice comes from open doorway that has no door and he takes my hand , tugging me into a pure white kitchen , silver utensils everywhere with black details around .
This is a beautiful kitchen .
My eyes land on the light brown haired man , his honey orbs staring at me in confusion .
“Aiden ? Who’s this ?” He grins .
At least he looks kind .
“Stefan , meet my mate , Eleia .” Aiden’s eyes bore into me , proudness clear in his expression and I blush , feeling like I’m being showcased to his beta .
“Wearing your shirt ?” Stefan tuts teasingly , “The woods isn’t for that .” He teases and I chew on my bottom l*p nervously .
Aiden rolls his eyes , “Cut it out .” He warns and Stefan sighs before walking over to me , “I’m sorry , it’s habits . You’ll get use to it . It’s nice to meet you Eleia , beautiful name by the way .” He winks and Aiden points a finger at him , “Mine .” He warns and every fibre of my body tingles in his possessiveness .
“Nice to meet you too , Stefan .” I nod , smiling and I can’t remember when I last felt so safe and secure .
“Does this mean no more cuddles for us ?” Stefan pouts at Aiden and I giggle , sucking my lips into my mouth as I try to stop laughing .
“Funny .” Aiden c***s his head and I admire how handsome he is , but I hiss in pain when his hand rests on the newest whiplash on my back .
He rips his hand off , eyes wide as he stares at me in shock , “Are you okay ?” He asks concerned and I gulp , nodding .
“No .” Stefan steps closer , grabbing my arms , “Her back .” He nods to Aiden and before I could stop him , he lifts my shirt , exposing my behind but I knew he wasn’t looking at my a*s with all the gashes on my back .
“Eleia .” Aiden gasps and I could feel his anger radiate off him , a source of power that has me shivering in fear .
“Who did this to you ?” He grits out , his voice lower than normal and a sensation tingles between my thighs .
“Please stop .” I beg as I stare up at Stefan and he let’s my wrists go as Aiden drops his shirt .NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
His hand gently rests on my shoulder before he turns me to him , tears already clouding my eyes , “Who did this ?” He grits out , demanding an answer I can’t give .
“I don’t know .” I sigh , my eyes meeting the tiled floor below my feet .
“What do you mean you don’t know ?” Stefan scoffs and I’m afraid they might think I’m lying .
“We’re usually blindfolded .” I croak , a tear rolling down my cheek and I notice Aiden’s hands fist beside his body .
This is it , he’s going to hit me…
His hand lifts and I flinch as he opens it and cups my cheek .
“I won’t hurt you Eleia .” The warmth of his palm against my skin makes me calm .
“What pack are you from ?” Stefan asks and it occurs to me I don’t know what pack this is and Aiden never asked where I was from .
“I’m from the Night Pack .” I shrug , knowing we don’t have a lot of enemies .
Aiden and Stefan give each other a knowing look , a look that makes my insides turn out .
“What’s your pack’s name ?” I ask and Aiden sighs , looking deeply into my eyes , “Eleia , we’re the Golden Wolf pack .” He sighs and the b***d drains from my face as I recognise the name .
“You’re the enemy ?” I gulp , suddenly afraid for my life .
“Relax , we won’t hurt you .” Stefan waves it off , he is such a chilled person , it kind of scares me .
Aiden is Regan’s rival , the worst of the worst and I heard that he killed his own sister when they were kids .
I take a step back , fear coursing through me , “Eleia , why were you so far from your own pack ?” Aiden asks , his ocean orbs boring into me .
I glance at Stefan and then back at Aiden , not either of them aggressive or intimidating .
“Can we speak in private ?” I nervously gulp , hoping that when I tell him the truth , he won’t kill me for being Regan’s ex mate .
“Of course .” Aiden holds out his hand and even though I should feel scared , I’m not .
I take his hand and he leads me up the to the third floor , on the top where the staircase ends is just one door , no hall , nothing but the door and he opens it , a huge room coming into view .
“Wow .” I gasp as I take in the interior , everything was black with white details and a huge a*s bed that could fit eight people if it needed to .
“So , talk .” Aiden urges me on and I could tell he was an impatient man , curious one too .
“I was Regan’s mate .” I mutter as I turn to look at him and his mouth drops agape , “Did you sleep with him ?” Is the first question he asks , his jaw tensing and the air leaves my lungs at the intensity he’s staring at me with .
I look at the black tiled below me , nodding and a low growl escapes his lips , “Then why are you here ?” He grits out and tears cloud my vision as the memories haunt my thoughts .
I begin to sob as I fall to the floor , my head shaking as I cry and I heavenas I try to catch my breath .
He kneels in front of me , pulling me into his arms , careful not to touch my back , “He rejected me right after .” I sob into his chest , his spicy scent calming me .
“He did what ?” He grits out , his hold around my shoulder tightening , as if he wants to protect me from what already happened .
” He shifted and chased me off the pack lands , telling me to never come back and I think he was ashamed of me .” My body jerks in his arms as Regan’s snarling was loud in my mind .
“He almost bit me , and I think he knew .” I cry , “He saw my marks and called it beautiful .” I sob further , realising that he should have known , he didn’t get angry , he didn’t care , he only acted like he loved me .
Regan Night is a true heartless monster .
“Hush .” Aiden scoops me off the floor , walking over to the bed with me and he sits down with me cradled in his lap , swaying me as if I were a child .
“Where are your parents Eleia ?” He whispers , leaving a chaste k**s on the side of my head .
“Dead .” I croak out before sobbing further .
Hiss warmth and calm effect on me has me crying like a child , but I feel so safe , like it’s the one place I can actually feel my feelings , like I can be myself .
“He will pay Eleia , and I do not care if you were his mate first , you’re mine now .” He leaves k****s all over the top of my head and after a few minutes , I settle down .
“Let’s get you cleaned .” He lifts me up and walks me to his en-suite bathroom .
“I can walk .” I whisper and he smiles at me , a smile that has my insides twisting out , “I know ,” he whispers back before placing me down onto my feet on a rug .
“Shower or bathe ?” He asks , motioning to the large cubicle surrounded by glass that has built in , tiled benches and the large bathtub .
I have never taken a bath before , unless I can count the time where some boy pushed me into an icy pond when I was small .
“What’s the matter ?” He asks when I stare at the bathtub for too long .
“I have never taken a bath .” I sigh and his eyes widen , a small smile tugging at his lips , “Then let me show you what you’re missing .” He grins before filling the bath with rosy scented bubbles and I watch in amusement as the bath fills with bubbles to the top , the water a little below where I could see the bubbles form .
“Come on .” He tugs his shorts down and it pools at his feet and my eyes are focused on his large junk .
“Are you joining me ?” I manage to mutter once I got over the shock .
“Well , I did save you .” He winks as he steps closer , his fingers trailing up my thighs before he grabs the hem of the shirt and I lift my arms as he removes the material from my body , tossing it aside before he takes my hand and leads me to the tub .
