Call me Alpha

Chapter 45: On his spot

Ashira's POV

"No stray thoughts since last night." Aiden said observantly as he looked at me. He was not smiling but a bit of joy is what I read on those golden-brown eyes. He’s relieved and so am I. Who would want some wandering thoughts without consent? Not me.

It is the morning of the day Aiden liked and hated the most.

The peace treaty between our pack and Ravenous pack has expired, that's a favor on his part. And he hates that he'll renew the oath at midnight. If he wanted to be selfish, a war with Elon is suffice for his personal gratification. My respect in him continues to grow whenever he put his pack first in every decision.

"Thanks God." I replied with a bright grin on my face. "Wait, weren't you supposed to be at the Hall? Its a busy day."

He snorted. "Nick was always in-charge when it comes to the treaty with Ravenous." He said lazily as he snaked his arm on my waist, positioning himself behind me.

The sun was exceptionally shining lively today. Its early and the light had perfectly warm on my skin. We just finished eating breakfast and now standing back to chest at the patio, facing the serene greenery of trees and plants in front of us.

"I object to that." said Nick who popped out of nowhere. I moved a little to turn and look at Nick who was grinning from ear to ear.

"That guy," he points his finger at Aiden and I knew from Nick's smile that he's asking for his ass to get kicked any time soon. "started delegating his job to me ever since he met you." He added a loud laugh after his goofy smile.

I turned at Aiden, grinning. I played along with Nick’s teasing but inside, I hope that was true.

Aiden only snorted.

"Really?" I asked, hopeful. And to be honest, it feels good to hear those words from Nick but I hid it behind a low chuckle as Aiden hugged me tighter.

The first time I met Aiden, he's too busy with his duties that I always ached to see him every second. Or to be with him, always. And Nick was right, Aiden is always on my side these days.

"That look," Nick's eyes narrowed at Aiden. "means I need to excuse myself." then laughed as he walks away and like usual, Nick is gone in a blink.

Aiden loosened his embrace and I took that opportunity to turn and look at his face. I’m not letting this topic died down because I witnessed the Aiden’s changes, too.

I got the feeling that I’ll hate myself if I’m the reason for Aiden’s misdemeanor.

"Was that true?" I asked playfully, trying to cover the slightest accusation that my mind has entertained.

Aiden screwed his eyes shut, looking irritated but the willingness to prolong the conversation is there. Although his jaw kept tightening so I figured he’s irritated somehow.
