Noah's POV

It's been a week since I moved in with Aldric.

Yes, I moved in with him after he asked me. We had two therapy sessions this week, and Aldric attended all of them with me.

I did not share much during those sessions, maybe even less than what I originally shared with Dr. Hades, but at least the sessions helped me realize that Aldric was true to his words.

He assured me through and through every time, in every part of what I had shared that was traumatic to me.

I have not left Aldric's room the whole week, and the only people I have met are Aldric, Ollie, and Dr. Hades.

Ollie and I have gotten even closer than before. He spends most of his time with me after school, the school where I should have been but did not go.

Aldric's room has become my safe space that I am not willing to leave, as I am scared to come across his family, the other higher ranking wolves that are around to meet his father, or just anybody in general.

But thanks to the most annoying person in my life, my so called best friend, Tyler, and Dr. Hades, I was to start going out in protection of the "Omega Protection Squad," as Tyler quotes it.

That is the reason why I am dreading getting out of bed, even after my very supportive yet persistent mate practically warned me before getting into the shower to get out of bed before he got back.

The door to the bathroom opened, and I sank deeper into the blanket to avoid getting up.

I heard Aldric go into his closet, and after a few minutes, I heard his footsteps start getting closer and closer to me, so I stilled all my moments and tried to relax my breathing to pretend to be asleep.

All of a sudden, the blanket was lifted off of me, and I felt a warm yet wet hand run through my hair and caress my cheek very slowly. I don't know if it was meant to be sensual or not, but it recked goosebumps all over my body.

"Get up, baby. You need to get ready; Tyler will be here any minute now." Aldric said.

"I know you are not sleeping, so get up. Come on, baby, trust me, you'll feel good going out," he continued.

"Fine," I said defeatedly, and I got up only to be met with my handsome and sexy mate drying his hair with a towel in one hand and the other hand reaching for me.

I grabbed his hand, which made him look at me and give me his iconic billion dollar smile, which made my heart beat like crazy.

"Good morning, Love," he greeted me.

"G-good morning," I replied, coming out of my daze.

He leaned down and pressed a chaste kiss on my lips, much to my dismay.

What, don't judge me; his lips are addicting, okay?

A/N: I did not say anything, and neither will my lovely readers.

Anyway, after that short kiss, Aldric told me he would get our breakfast and asked me to get ready by the time he was back.

So I got ready and wore his sweatshirt so that I had his scent on me and no other Alpha werewolves would dare come near me.
