Call me Alpha

Chapter 38: Confidential

Ashira's POV

I'm staring far to nothing with a knotted forehead. My attention for Seth who's doing some 'playful' back and forth steps beside me was lesser than my thoughts.

"I don't get it, why can't I go with them?" I seemed like a child throwing tantrums but Seth didn't respond. "Hey!" He still ignored me. "Can you please halt your steps?" He didn't. "Seth!"

I grabbed on his elbow to stop him from walking. I'm sure my nose was flaring right now because I'm starting to be fuming mad from my thoughts and Seth's unconcerned behavior.

Seth was not bothered at all!

The last thing I'd like to feel was this. To be frustrated and confuse. A lot of questions kept lingering inside my head and I'm dying that I'm a mile away from gaining a solution. Or more like, what I wanted to have.

"Ash, both of us can't go, okay?" He said, stomping his feet as he talks. "I was born to watch over you. To be at your side, you know that."

I huffed.

"And you're okay with that? Come on! We can't just sit here and wait for them to come back. I'll be dead curious!" My voice slightly squealed from preventing me to scream aloud. Though I knew Aiden won't hear me. He was with Nick at his office right now.

Seth sighed and slumped on a chair nearby. Leaning in so he could whisper his words.

"Why are you even bugging me? Just go straight to Aiden and tell him you want to be dragged along." Seth irritably scoffed.

"You think I haven't tried that?"

I did! All I got was a hard 'No' and an Alpha's growl! Ugh. It's so hard to break Aiden's decision that I wished to rather please him in bed because I bet that would be easier!

Damn it! Aiden and Nick will be meeting Zeke later tonight. Since Zeke didn't tell what time he'd like to meet, Nick suggested being at the same place at the same time they first met him. It an almost midnight time.

And I can't fucking go.

There are only a few hours ls left yet I still haven't convinced Aiden to let me leave with them. And I need to be there! I wanted to know more, to ask about Zeke's mother, to meet her!

"What made you think he'll favor me if he hadn't to you, Ash? Just drop it."

I feel the back of my ears burned because I'm so frustrated right now and Seth was not helping at all! I slumped on a couch next to Seth and crossed my arms above my heaving chest.

No, I cannot drop this.

"I'll sneak around, then. I wanted to ask Zeke a lot of things and I want to be there!"

Seth tilt his head with a hiss and massaged the side of his temple. "Ash," he said, sounding annoyed. "Why are you so after the trouble?"

"I'm not, Gamma! If only Aiden tag me along then I won't think of-"

'Yeah, mate. Why are you so after the trouble?'

Said a baritone voice inside my link portal.

It's Aiden!

I jumped from my seat and gasped when I heard Aiden's voice inside my head. The way he said 'mate' sounds like the tip of his tongue touches the bitterness he's probably feeling.

Oh, shit. Did he finished talking with Nick at his office?!

"What is it?" Seth curiously eyed me as my eyes stayed wide from the shock.

Fucking hell.

I grabbed a handful of my hair and then close my eyes. "Aiden," I whispered and pointed at my head. "He heard us."
