Noah's POV

I got home after spending almost an hour crying and then another hour or two of Mrs. Brown comforting me and letting me know how important it is for me to confide in my mate and how it will be one of the best things to do if only I talk to my mate and get his help and assurance for overcoming my fear and letting go of my past.

She also talked to me about my feelings towards Aldric and how important it was to confess your love to someone before you start regretting not doing so.

It was way easier to talk to her after listening to her story.

It felt like she was the one who could understand me, and I felt like if she can do it, so can I. Like she was also tortured in her own way, and she also suffered things like I had, but she overcame it, and now she has lived such a long life, and from what she told me later, she had been nothing but happy with her mate.

She said it was easy to tell her story now because she left her past in the past and also because she could feel my distress, and her instincts told her I was the same as her.

I could feel so much power and confidence emitting through her that it inspired me to be like her.

After we had left the room, Tyler had also returned, and he was hungry, so we got a table at the cafe and were sitting there, and I could see every now and then some omegas, both young and old, come and talk to Mrs. Brown. Some came in with a sad or worried look on their faces, but while leaving they were either relaxed or happy, and that is when I decided I wanted to be like her.

The first step in the process of becoming like her was that I had to overcome my fear and let go of my past. And to do that, I have to face the biggest fear of mine, which is being completely naked and truthful to my mate.

Before we had gotten home, Tyler said Aldric and Clovis were at their personal training ground just behind the Alpha quarters, and we should see them because they looked hot as hell.

I was a little hesitant, but Tyler just held my hand, gave it a squeeze, and smiled at me.

Because Tyler was there beside me plus I knew Aldric was there and Clovis wouldn't harm me, I went to the training ground with Tyler.

And when I looked at Aldric, his upper body on display, his muscles adorned with sweat and his hair all disheveled, my insides started to heat up.

He looked so hot that I could just cum looking at him. This was the first time I had seen him like this, and I guess Tyler could smell my arousal because I could smell his. We both looked at each other, and I was embarrassed, but Tyler had a smirk on his face.

He leaned closer and said, Told you so.

Once they were done with their fight, Aldric and Clovis came running towards us, and Tyler immediately jumped on Clovis and started kissing him passionately.

I was as red as tomato looking at their PDA and immediately looked at my mate, who also had an amused look on his face.

Aldric came closer to me and engulfed his one hand around my waist and asked if everything was okay and how my day was.

He said he had mindlinked Clovis that we were leaving, and we started walking towards his house.

Once we were in the room, Aldric said he would quickly shower and be back and that he would arrange a bath for me as I had a full day of activities today and I must be tired so I should take a relaxing bath.

I was sitting on the chair by the window where I could see the sunset, and it felt so calming and beautiful that it made me forget everything.

I heard the bathroom door open, so I turned around only to be met with my mate with only a towel wrapped around his waist.

Once again, I was so aroused by the sight of his freshly showered upper body that was on display and droplets falling off his hair and traveling down his well built muscles.

You could almost see me drooling over the sight of him.

I came out of my haze when Aldric came near me and snapped his fingers over and told me that the bath was ready and I could go in.

I immediately dashed into the bathroom because I knew he could sense my arousal.

Once inside the bathroom, I immediately got rid of my clothes and got under a cold shower first to get rid of my burning arousal.

Once I felt like the heat had dissipated from my body, I got into the bath that my sweet mate had filled for me.

I took a long time relaxing in the bath and letting all my muscles loose.

When I was done with the bath, I wiped my body clean after a quick shower and then walked over to the mirror and stood in front of it naked.

I was nervous as heck, my anxiety shooting up because I was nearing the moment of confrontation with my mate.

I looked over each and every one of my scars, and it still felt disgusting as hell.

I was getting all jittery, and I dropped the idea of confrontation then and there.

No, Noah, you can't back down now. Jay said

Please don't force me, Jay. I replied.

I am not forcing you, Noah. You know how important it is for you to do this. Jay replied.

I don't know, Jay. I am scared. I whimpered.

I know Noah, I know. But it is our mates, Noah, whom we are confronting. They love us, Noah. I know they'll accept us no matter what. He replied.

I knew it was true that our mates love us and would accept whatever came with us because through all the sessions, Aldric has been nothing but patient, and he has given me nothing but assurance.

And when he said he would daily show me how much he loved me, he did show me every day.

You are right, Jay. I need to do this today. I said.

That's the spirit, Noah. I am super proud of you. Jay replied.

Jay was right. I needed to do this today because I had promised myself that I'll be a better version of myself and if I do not do it today, I'll be breaking my promise just the day I had made it.

I am going to do this.

I looked at myself in the mirror and repeated the statement, "You can do it!" several times and then grabbed a bathrobe that was kept in the stand beside the mirror and wrapped it around myself.

Before heading towards the door, I looked in the mirror once again, and looking at my reflection in the mirror, I knew, It is now or never.

I walked to the door, grabbed the door handle, took a deep breath, and reminded myself that

It is now or never!

I twisted the lock on the handle, opened the door, and stepped outside the bathroom and...

A/N: Clif hanger!!!

Hahaha (evil laugh)😈

I am really looking forward to writing the next chapter.
