MY ALPHA, MY OLIVIA

CHAPTER 34- MY LITTLE MATE

Aaron's pov

A week has passed after i found out riya is my mate. I was appalled and was too bewildered to do or say anything. I was waiting, just like everyone, for the day to meet my gorgeous mate but at the end it turned out to be the day i want to forget about the most. She is my mate but a small kid. It couldn't possible be but it was the truth. I wish if she wasn't that small.... maybe there will be a chance for us too.

I know riya is human and Derek's baby sister but i wasn't concerned about that right now but her age and i am sure anyone would be. I think she is not even sixteen!.The fuck!. I don't know what to do anymore. What will everyone thinks of me if i ever told them riya is my mate?. But the BIG problem is my wolf river urges to want to meet her again. I tried to control and convince him my best but that prick won't even agree nor he listen to me.

I sighs thinking the whole fucking situation i am in right now. I really want to talk about this to Olivia but i know it's not the right time. She is totally devastated after what happened with Derek and i don't want to make her worry more. I know it is bad to keep secrets from my Alpha and i have to face the consequence later but i think she will understand me on this.

"Derek" i calls walking fast to catch up with him. I was waiting for him to finish his tutoring for a hour now. I should definitely make it work.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Nothing, i was doing some errands nearby. There's some attacks on pack so.." i stopped instantly shocked of what the hell did i say. It was something very confidential and was to keep it as a secret.

"Don't worry, i won't tell to anyone." Derek says instantly making me relived.

"Thanks man, it was a slip of tongue." I says with a nervous laugh gaining a chuckle from Derek.

"Derek, if you are free right now how about we hangout at your house?" I asks finally.

"Huh... I am free but.."

"Oh you are free that's nice. Come on man let's get going. I always want to hangout with you but never got a chance. I think it's gonna be perfect." I said entering the car not minding his reply. You should take the every chances you had, even if it's a little. That was one of my policy.

"O-okay"he tells entering the car giving me a wierd look. I care less to ashamed now. The ride fast and we talked many things. I tried not to bring up Olivia in any of that.

"Wow!" I tells entering the house engulfing the scent of my mate. Riya's vanilla and sweet newly baked cookie scent was everywhere and it was very addictive. Derek looked at me confused but didn't said anything.

"Riya, i am home." He calls out making my heart to skip a beat. I know i met her once but it was when she was asleep and i didn't get to see her properly. I know i am being a fool to be happy about meeting just a kid but i couldn't stop my beating heart. It was beating fast not even asking my permission.

"Ricky...i got first in the test." She comes running and hugging Derek. I was frozen and river was howling in happiness to meet her.

"That's so great, Riya." Derek said chuckling pinching her both cheeks making her pout. I smiled seeing the fondness between the Derek and Riya. I remember once Olivia telling about the love between the brother and sister.

"Riya, this is Aaron, my friend. Aaron, this is riya, my sister" Derek says introducing us before went inside leaving only me and riya there. Riya was looking at me with her eyes full of curiosity and i was standing there holding back my urge to squeeze her cute little puffy cheeks.

"You look like a prince " she says making me come out of the trace.

"What?" I asks a little bit taken back of what she said. She was smiling like a half moon.

"You look exactly like a prince charming in the movie that i watched yesterday." She says again making my heart to skip a beat and all shy. I was glad to hear a compliment from my mate. She thinks i look like a prince!!!. I know it's nothing special and she didn't meant anything but that small thing was enough to get me in cloud nines.

"Thanks little cupcake" i says patting her hair. At this moment i know i am going to protect her, stay by her side no matter what. I don't want anything more than this, even if no one knows who she is to me. I wants to makes her smile and always want to keep that smile on her.

"Aaron, come on man." Derek come out from the room changing into casual clothes.

"Riya, go and finish all the home work. I will be there to check in a moment." He says firmly ordering her.

"But i want to talk to prince." Riya says pouting stomping her feet.

"Prince?" Derek asks confused.

"Uncle Aaron looks like a prince." She says beaming, pointing at me making me all flushed infront of Derek. I glanced at Derek but he just laughed it off.

"You can talk to brother Aaron later but now go to study." Derek says giving a stern look. River whinnied wanting to stay with her a little more but i couldn't do anything. Don't get me wrong, i just wanted to spend time with her and nothing more. She will always be a little kid to me.

"Let's talk later cupcake, now go and study like what your brother said."i says caressing her cheeks gaining a nod and smile from her. River howled in happiness, seeing our mate's smile.

"Wow! You surely are good with kids, Aaron. I have to argue with her a hundred times to make her do something. It was rare to see her so obedient with anyone other than Blake." Derek says giving me something to drink.

"Derek, Don't be so strict to her. She is just a kid."

"Why is everyone telling me that?. Olivia said the same thing when she came here. She even nagged me a half an hour telling me how to be a good brother. It's funny, right?." He said laughing but stopped when the realisation hit him hard. He sit opposite of me and the awkward silence fall between us. I know he realised how he was laughing just a moment ago thinking about Olivia and her words. They both don't deserve to end like this.

"Derek, i know what's going on between you and Olivia and Excuse me, if i am overstepping my boundaries but i don't really think both of you deserves to end things like this." Derek only sighed looking anywhere but me.

"I know she really regret about everything. I can see how much she loves you in her eyes and i could see the same glistening in your eyes too when you talked about her." I said calmly.

"Aaron if you are here to justify her, please stop it. I don't wanna hear that." Derek say rubbing his forehead irritatedly.

"No..No don't get me wrong. I am not justifying anyone but i just wanted to tell you that you can't just give up on someone because the situation is not ideal. Great relationships aren't great because they have no problems. They're great because both people care enough about other person to find a way to make it work." I said in one go looking straight at him. Derek was looking back at me but his face was blank and it was hard to tell what he is going through his head.

"You don't know anything Aaron!" He raise his voice, shaking his head in denial.

"Yeah, i don't know anything and i don't have any experience in these kind of things but i know one thing that you have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life." I said making him silent. He was still looking at me but didn't said anything. I really want them to make up with each other.

"Then see you later, Derek." I said standing up placing the glass over the table before walk out from there.

i didn't planned to talk about it before i coming here but as a beta i don't want my Alpha to be sad. Olivia was a great leader that we could ever have and she deserves better. I really want both of them to be happily together forever.

I looked back at my mate's house one more time, sniffing her scent closing my eyes. I smiled hearing her sweet giggle from afar before went away from there. I made a pledge of promise that day to protect my little mate till the day i die at any cost. It doesn't matter if i can be with her or not. River whinnied wanting to see her again, even though i tried to hide it, i also hope to see her soon.
