Knave of Heaven and Earth

Chapter Nine: Damned Individuals

Seven days passed in a flash without anything noteworthy.

Aitken locked himself in his room and when he's bored or feels like to go out, Scar was always there to accompany him. The guy is annoying, pushy and loud but he and Aitken has gotten a bit close. Just enough close and not to the point of friendship.

When Aitken is with him, Scar literally drags him to anywhere. Sometimes, they would eat together pass the usual eating time. Aitken just let Scar do whatever he does because it helps him to avoid Alex, Margaux, Beta Damian, the special squad he came to acknowledge and the Alpha. He fairly enjoyed some moments with Scar but mostly because he has nothing to do.

On the other hand, Alex and Margaux always tried to get Aitken forgive them and be friends again but Aitken didn't want to fall for them. Aitken was very good at avoiding them.

Harley, Beatriz, Keith, Rowena, and Tyson also wanted to apologise for the trouble they have caused Aitken but when they got the only chance to, Aitken snapped at them and said fiercely, "Yeah, it's not like you destroyed my life. Fuck off."

He cursed at them, as clear as the sky that he's very angry at them. The group felt more embarrassed, sorry, and very guilty.

Beta Damian wanted to apologize for the actions of his squad including his but he couldn't have the time too. He's busy with taking care of the moody Alpha and when he has the free time, Aitken is either locked up in his room or with Scar and the other pack warrior.

Alpha Aleister was in no better state. His wolf, Aze, is restless. It's becoming hard to control. Knowing that his mate is living in the same roof as him, it makes him crazy. He felt the desire to come and hold his mate. Claim his mate. To mark him his, but Aleister was stubborn.

The situation was getting worse. Aleister nearly don't eat nor get some proper sleep. He's a mess.

One time when he really wanted to see his mate and decided to finally talk things out, he found his mate with one of his strongest warrior: Scar, he nearly lashed out and went berserk. That time, he felt jealousy for the first time. Thankfully, his Beta was there to hold him back but that didn't stop him to do some damages.

Now, he asked the presence of Scar to kil— Ahem! To talk to him. He can't take it anymore. These emotions are building inside him and there's no way to release it.

"Al, just talk to your mate. I'm sure it'll end this crappy situation you are in." Damian said to Aleister. Aleister answered with a loud frustrated sound as he drags his large hands down his face.

"My wolf's driving me crazy." he muttered.

"I-I need him. Fuck!" he added before knocks on his door can be heard.

"Come in." Damian said.

Then the door opened and revealed Scar with a bright smile on his stupid face. Aleister can't help but growled at him. He remembered what happened yesterday.

Scar flinched at the angry Alpha then his face turned down.

"We need you to stay away from Aitken." Aleister said in a stern and serious tone. Scar thought about reasoning out but knowing that the Alpha is not in a very good mood, so he did not do so.

"Yes Alpha." Scar said with a frown.

"You are dismissed." Damian said before turning to Aleister, "Should I call Aitken or you'll personally go to him?"

Before Aleister could say a word, Scar interrupted, "Aitken is hard to talk to. Just saying." After that, he quickly get out of the Alpha's office.

"Bring him to me." the Alpha ordered.

"That might be a problem. You know that he doesn't let anyone come near him but Scar." Beta Damian commented then gaining another angry growl from Aleister.
