Call me Alpha

Chapter 57.5: Arrival of the King (Part Two)

Ashira’s POV

Two weeks had passed. I recovered a little from the pain of losing my mate. I got the hang of living in this pack and being with their Alpha, Aiden. He come and go from time to time but not a single day has passed that he don’t visit.

We talk. I still hate him but we talk. I don’t know why I feel different when he is around. Its not a light feeling, I can feel my chest twisting with pain and wrath but something in me whispers that I enjoy his company.

During daylight, I feel fine. Coping. Better. Not until the dark comes.

I still cry whenever a picture of Elon pops out of my head but it often happens at night and it deprives me of having enough sleep. At bed time, I use all thoughts I have to think. And it mostly consists of Elon.

But during the day, I feel different. I feel mixed types of emotions. I feel alive.

“Who are you?”

The man I asked looked at me with a funny expression. His brow is arched and the side of his lips are up as if smirking. I hate his guts, is what I first think but there’s something inside me that says he is a good person.

“Man!” he looked up and chuckled. “You don’t recognize the person who almost died saving you?”

I fumbled.

What is he… talking about? He saved me? When?

I frowned and crinkled my nose. “You saved me? This is the first time I met you.” And I’m not lying.

“I was briefed that its useless to remind things to you but I’m a rule-breaker guy sometimes. I used to follow your reckless plans and decisions, you know.”

My mind was confused with what he was saying but it made me think harder of who he is or if I met him before or if he was saying the truth.

“The name is ‘Seth’, and you’re too young to forget things, Ash.” he leaned closer and smiled at me. I shifted my body backwards because of the little distance left between us. “Remember soon, Luna.” he whispered in a serious expression.

“Seth.” a voice said and that made the guy in front of me jumped away back to his seat.

“Oops.”

I don’t need to look behind me to see who arrives. It’s Aiden. I got accustomed with his voice and scent. I can hear his footsteps getting closer and the man named Seth looked at me again then grinned.

“I’ll continue guarding you from far, I’ll go now!” he intentionally shouted for Aiden’s ear to reach though I didn’t think shouting is necessary because we are werewolves, our hearing senses are enhanced.

Seth is gone in a glimpse and Aiden sat to where Seth left to.

“Did he bothered you?” he asked. His eyes were looking at me and it seems normal but I think there is something deep in those eyes.

It’s… speaking to me. Saying more words I couldn’t understand but I know there is something in it.

“Did he say anything that may distract your peace, Ashira?” he asked again and I could say he is slightly annoyed by my silence.

I pulled my gaze away and sighed. “He didn’t had the chance to.” My eyes went back at his, I seem to be magnetized by his eyes.

Its weird. At times that I remember my mate and his face flashes on my mind, I can see Aiden’s eyes in Elon’s face though I know my mate don’t own a pair of golden-brown eyes but a brown hazel eyes.

Its weird. I’ve said the word ‘weird’ redundantly but its true. These days, I feel like I’m schizophrenic. Like I have two different personality, two different emotions, two worlds. Everything about me is halved. I tell you, its weird.

I saw his eyes soften as our gazes locked for a while.

“I will order him to watch from afar from now on.” he broke the eye contact and I almost groaned when his attention was not on me, feeling a little jealous over the flying butterflies in front of us.

“Why?” I frowned.

He looked at me and mirrored the same frown in his forehead. “He can be a nuisance at times.”

“I don’t mind. I didn’t complain. Are you on your stupid power-tripping mood again?”

Aiden’s jaw dropped and he was silent for a while before closing his eyes then pinching the bridge of his nose.
