Call me Alpha

Chapter 42

Ashira's POV

The sound of my footsteps echoed everywhere as I walk down the steep stairs but my heartbeat was louder.

It was all I could hear which increases the feeling of nervousness and excitement as I look forward to what information I would find.

'Are you okay?'

I must be taking a long while in getting there that Aiden got worried. Well, when it comes with this matter, I was expected to jump-run to them since he saw how thirsty I was to gain new things about my abnormality.

Yet, I was acting otherwise.

Its funny how the tables have turned. Not a long while, I was the one asking Aiden that same question.

While at the garden, I felt an emotion that he'd never flowed to me before.

Longing, but this time, not for me.

Sadness. A deep and dark sorrow.

Pain but from missing someone.

His parents. I guessed. I'm not sure but who else, right?

'Yeah. I'm almost there...' I answered.

My eyes are screwed shut when I took a deep breath, halt my steps and stilled the inhaled oxygen on my lungs.

Calm yourself, Ashira.

'You have nothing to worry about.' the wolf inside me said. I can see her image pouting and almost telling me that I'm over reacting with all of this. 'We're still like everyone else.'

My lips parted from what my wolf said to me. I lived for a month knowing my abnormality but this is the first time that I heard this. And even though I kept repeating the exact same words inside my head, the way my wolf uttered it strikes straight into my chest.

I'm not alone in this.

I have my wolf. I have Aiden. I have my family and friends. And they all accept me for being me, and not from what I turned to be.

I exhaled and opened my eyes. I started moving my feet again but in a faster pace this time.

When I turned the long hallway, I smelled something... different. A scent I never smelt before. Ever.

It's sweet. A part of the scent was disturbing senses. I've been around a sugarcane factory and its like that. It's too sweet to bear.

I stopped in front of a door where I sense four people inside. I crinkled my nose and rubbed it yet the scent was still there.

While Aiden's scent is intoxicating, this scent is almost irritating.

The door opened and I saw Aiden beside it. I almost jumped when his eyes met mine and accepted to myself that I might act the same around him. Forever.

His big frame was blocking my sight and I can't see anything but him. But I'm sure they're here. I could smell Zeke and that... sweetness.

He smiled at me and gestured for me to enter the room by gliding himself to the side. I caught glimpse of Zeke who was standing right next to a bed and a woman. She was also looking right at me.

I stepped inside the room without breaking eye contact with her.

Zynia...

Once inside, the irritating sweetness become stronger that I can't help but to lift my hand and cover my nose.

No, it didn't help. I closed my eyes shut and sighed.

I heard the door closes then an arm snaked on my waist right after. I don't need to check who it was.
