Chapter Forty-five: Alpha

- Aiden Ansel -

Aiden was checking the Pack's monthly expenses when the door of his study opened. Iniluwa nito ang kanyang pilyang kapatid na si Imogen.

"Sigurado ka bang hindi ka sasama?"

"I told you hindi ako pupunta don hangga't ayaw niya" Hindi man lang niya tinignan ang kapatid.

"Napaka ano mo talaga, Kuya"

Kahit na hindi niya tinignan ito, he knew she rolled her eyes. Pinipilit kasi nitong sumama siya sa Sinclaire Academy at si Theo nalang ang iwan dito sa Pack house.

He wants to keep his word. Hindi talaga siya pupunta doon hangga't hindi sinasabi ni Ezra.

He wants to give her time to think. Alam naman niya ang sitwasyon nito ngayon at klaro sa kanya na hindi maganda ito. But for him it's not that bad. His only fear right now is being rejected.

Noon akala niya hindi niya mararamdaman ito. For the goddess' sake, he's an Alpha. Who would dare reject an Alpha?

When he first saw Ezra Heath he knew he was in trouble. Akala niya ay niloloko lang siya ng nararamdaman niya but Carly Heath confirmed it. Ever since then binabalitaan na siya nito tungkol kay Ezra. Ganon lang ang naging communication nila.

He never questioned the goddess why he's mated to Ezra Heath. A gift can come in any form and Ezra is his.

"Just talk to her again baka naman---"

"I already did, Imo. I'm keeping my distance till she decides" Ibinaba niya ang papel na binabasa para tignan ang kapatid. He gave her a pointed look, commanding her to stop.

"Fine," she sighed and crossed her arms. "May ipapabigay ka ba? We'll be off in half an hour"

"Wala. Just... just tell me what she did all day"

"You sound like a stalker. Nakakadiri" Ngumiwi ito. "Pero sige"

Aiden dropped his pen and sighed when Imo finally left. Hindi niya alam kung gaano siya katagal maghihintay. Kaya naman niyang i-manage ang Pack kahit walang Luna. Pero iba rin talaga kapag may katuwang siya.

Alam rin niyang maraming naghihintay sa panibagong Luna. Ang may matataas na posisyon sa Pack ay alam na ang tungkol kay Ezra. Naghihintay nalang ng signal ang mga ito galing sa kanya to announce the news. Hindi na siya nag aalala pa sa reaksyon ng buong pack. Mas importante sa kanya ngayon ang magiging desisyon ni Ezra.

His whole life depends on it.

And that's not an understatement.

Aiden massaged his temple and sighed again. He's been patiently waiting for Carly Heath to summon him dahil alam niya na hindi personal na mag re-reach out si Ezra to tell him her decision. Matatag pa ang pader na nakapalibot dito.

He smiled upon thinking how feisty she is at kung paano nito dalhin ang sarili.

Always so high and mighty...

Tumatak talaga sa isip niya iyong gabing nahuli ito ni Astrid sa Pack grounds. How she spat to his face to never use his Alpha voice on her. For him it was major turn on dahil iyon ang unang beses na may nagsabi sa kanya ng ganon. He laughed at how his system turned haywire after that incident. Hindi siya nakatulog ng maayos noong gabing iyon.

Umayos nang upo si Aiden when the doork creaks open again, revealing his daughter na mukhang antok parin.

Halos pikit mata itong naglakad patungo sa kanya and crawled up his lap, snuggling on his chest.
